Talk:DShK heavy machine gun
Why exactly are there so many "mockups" of this gun rather than the real thing? I mean, I understand if the filmmakers were doing a period piece which would call for the gun, but even in things that aren't set in Cold War Russia, you see M2HBs mocked up to look like DshKs. Can anyone explain?

- - Actual AKs/AKMs weren't available in the U.S. for a long time due to the eastern bloc weapons ban during the Cold War, I imagine the DShK was probably subject to the same ban. However, I'd like to know for sure what the deal is, for the record. StanTheMan 04:38, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
