[edit] Just a little suggestion

Maybe you forgot to mention what PTRD means. PTRD stands for "Protywotankovoye Rushyo Degtyaryova". That means "Degtyaryov tank gun". Anonymous

Who modified ptrds to fire .50 BMG after ww2? I mean, why on earth would Soviets modify anything to fire .50 BMG rather than their own 12.7 x 107 mm? I removed the text about BMG. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________

I believe there might be little typing error in the factfile about the Effective and maximum Range, they are currently (05-05-2007 18:00) listed as 400 mm and 800 mm respectively. So 40 and 80 cm. I have only limited internet access here at present so I can not verify anything but it sounds more logical if it would concern meters or yards.
