Why OTs-38 Stechkin? Igor Yakovlevich Stechkin was the designer of the gun, so the name must be written '''Stechkin OTs-38'''. We don't write "M1911 Colt" or "PPK Walther", so why in this case the name of the designer is put behind the index? Other OTs guns have personal names (Groza, Pernach, Kiparis etc.), but this case if different.

:Yeah, the OTs-38 doesn't have given names unlike the other OTs guns; giving it a "Stechkin" name is just confusing things and misleading readers. The page should just be named OTs-38. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 10:11, 18 August 2021 (EDT)

Naming

Why OTs-38 Stechkin? Igor Yakovlevich Stechkin was the designer of the gun, so the name must be written Stechkin OTs-38. We don't write "M1911 Colt" or "PPK Walther", so why in this case the name of the designer is put behind the index? Other OTs guns have personal names (Groza, Pernach, Kiparis etc.), but this case if different. (Yes, I see that En Wiki call it OTs-38 Stechkin but no reliable source for such naming is listed in the wiki article). --Greg-Z (talk) 10:02, 18 August 2021 (EDT)

Yeah, the OTs-38 doesn't have given names unlike some of the other OTs guns (most in fact don't have nicknames to public knowledge); giving it a "Stechkin" name is just confusing things and misleading readers. The page should just be named OTs-38. --Wuzh (talk) 10:11, 18 August 2021 (EDT)
