Anyone else think the Sukhov looks like Franco Nero? BeardedHoplite 18:14, 27 October 2011 (CDT)
Lewis and DP
In fact, Comrade Sukhov fired from Degtyaryov DP light machine gun, which modified to resemble Lewis machine gun
And this is real Lewis light machine gun.

- Yes, you are right. I was not sure about it and didn't write this fact. Please, update the article. Thank you! Спасибо, коллега! Greg-Z 14:44, 26 October 2011 (CDT)
not win 1894
no hammer, receiver looks different and barrels look slightly different. mpm
- OK, I'll change it to "Unidentified rifle". It is something very Winchester-like... If not Winchester then I don't know what it is :( Greg-Z 04:36, 27 October 2011 (CDT)
PK or not PK?
This machine gun looks like as not PK Machine Gun. People on russian gun forums talk that it is a Hotchkiss Model 1922 or Hotchkiss Model 1925
Bednardos - 26 October 2011
- Maybe... But this flexible belt look very much like PK's. Hotchkiss used rigid strips, not belts. Could it be PK modified to resemble Hotchkiss LMG? I doult that sovier film factory could have such a rare weapon as Hotchkiss Mle22 or Mle25. Greg-Z 04:36, 27 October 2011 (CDT)
