"Type 88"

I don't think it is a Type 88. The only Type 88s around are in North Korea, which I don't think they would be handing out to a film that made it look bad. There are 5.45mm steel magazines for the AK around, like this: http://home.comcast.net/~shooter2_indy/ak74_mag_guide.html So I think it's just a mocked up AK74 to look like a North Korean Type 88.

You're correct. That is quite obviously a Chinese Type 56-1 rifle (not an AK-74; the magazine is too curved for 5.45x39mm) mocked up to look like a DPRK Type 88 rifle. Some anonymous user changed it without our permission, because he apparently didn't stop to consider what you said. But you're right; there's no way that that's a genuine Type 88 rifle. North Korea, unlike the Chinese, has never exported its weapons for Western consumers, so there's no way that the movie's armorers could have access to a Type 88. -MT2008
I agree with Hoot. There is no way an North Korean gun would find its way to a western movie.-Oliveira 21:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

why dont we have the bond movies titles in order so there easier to find?

They're right here: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Category:James_Bond

Does Desmond Llewelyn need his own page? He played Q in all those movies, surely he's handled firearms at some point. --redram355 20:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC)


Stechkin APS

Do North Korean soldiers use this machine pistol as one of their sidearms in real life?

No, the North Korean People's army uses indigenously produced versions of the Tokarev TT-33 (as the Type 68), Makarov PM and CZ-75 (as the Baek-Du-San).

Why not? It's Russian.

And what? Political and especially economic relations even between the USSR and the North Korea were not such good as thought in the US. In the USSR the Korean communists always considered a bit mad. And now economic relations between Russia and the North Korea are almost stopped, except official diplomacy. Besides the North Korea was always closer to China. Flexo 10:43, 2 October 2011 (CDT)

DShK image

Could an admin switch the DShK example image to this:

DShKM heavy machine gun in standard vehicle mounting on a Romanian TR-85 main battle tank - 12.7x108mm

I just realised we didn't have a picture of the vehicle mount (which looks rather different to the normal gun) and I think this makes a better example. I'd do it myself but the page is locked. Evil Tim 23:59, 1 October 2011 (CDT)
