Revision as of 17:30, 17 January 2012
Why is the RPK-74 listed here? We separated the 5.45mm AK-74 from the AK-47 series. And We separated the RPK from the 5.45 series of guns. Either do it one way or do it the other way, but stay consistent. MoviePropMaster2008 18:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Lets just make an RPK-74 page and retitle this one RPK-47. --AdAstra2009 22:27, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

RPK-74 Drum
The VG section of the RPK-74 says that many games have RPK-74s with non-existent drum magazine. I thought that both the RPK and -74 have drums, 75-rounder for the RPK, 100-rounder for the -74. ? -bozitojugg3rn4ut 08:12, 17 January 2012 (CST)
