[edit] Restoring the title

Why was the article moved to "DShK 1938"? It covers all versions of the DShk: both the DShK Model 1938 (DShk 38) and DShKM 38/46 (as well as the older DK). The name is not only overly specific for this article, it is also very rare in Google searches (in either English or Russian):

Unless a convincing argument is shown, I suggest moving this article back to DShK. Michael Z. 2006-07-07 18:42 Z

I can see no convincing argument at all, so I have moved it back. I wouldn't be surprised if the editor in question was working through a book without necessarily checking whether there are pre-existant articles; see edit history of "list of common infantry weapons of WW2"GraemeLeggett 19:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
