PPD-40[edit]

Since this article is actually named "PPD-40", wouldn't it be appropriate to find us a clear image of one? There's one on Commons comparing the models, but sadly it looks sort of awful. CatjaS (talk) 00:26, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The titling is mostly appropriate, because this was the model built in significant numbers; I've added data about that. Alas there isn't a good photo of it on Commons. I put the best I could find in the article—the one with the three Soviet sailors. Someone not using his real name (talk) 07:47, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect! :) CatjaS (talk) 17:52, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Inspiration[edit]

Wasn't this a copy of a German weapon? I'm sure the article used to mention this somewhere? Danceswithzerglings (talk) 05:56, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
