I merged the other L-39 article that had been made. Someone with a good grammar fix the errors that were in the old article please. --Pudeo 14:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

"tremendous recoil" is suspect see [1]

Maybe you can just replace it with not-so strong word.. --Pudeo 15:01, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Worlds powerfullest man-portable rifle?

According to "worlds most powerful fire arms" by /////// indicates that Lahti m39 is the powerfullest MAN-PORTABLE WEAPON. Should we add this?

I think that'd be something like the RPO flamethrower with thermobaric warhead --213.155.214.186 20:13, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] L-39/44 not mentioned?

The /44 modificaiton was fully automatic, althought with relatively slow rate of fire. The full-auto was intended for use against low-flying aeroplanes (and 50's, helicopters)

Also, I think the official designation of the majority of the rifles was actually L-39/42, as the 39 was the designation of the two prototypes used in Winter War.
