[edit] AVS36 or AVS-36?

In light of the recent move, I wonder what the proper name of the rifle actually is; world.guns.ru gives "АВС-36" in Russian, and also SVT-40 in line with it, and most Russian sources seem to agree with that spelling. On the other hand, most English sources give AVS36 and SVT40, respectively. RP-46, AK-47 etc are always properly spelt with hyphen though, so it seems to me that AVS-36 and SVT-40 look more appropriate. int19h 18:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
