Major Mistake

The caption under the main picure reads: "RPK with a 75-round drum magazine." I don't know how many rounds are in ther, but tha is NOT a "drum mag" it's not even close.

Rear sight adjustment?

The "differences" section says that a difference in the RPK and AK is that the RPK has an elevation adjustable sight. Every AKM/Ak74 I've dealt with has an elevation adjustable sight. So this should probably be removed as a difference. SenorBeef 04:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I think that is a mistake of words. The RPK normally also has a windage adjustable sight, in addition to the elevation. The AK-47 has not windage adjustment on the rear sight. 64.131.10.67 02:20, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Error In Picture Caption?

I could be wrong, but I believe the picture of a US soldier helping a foreign soldier with his weapon depicts a Kalashnikov class assault rifle such as an AK47 or an AK74, not an RPK.

it's an RPK series weapon, you can tell by the stock.Paulwharton 18:12, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On that note, the other picture has as caption "One of the earlier RPKs of the '80s." which is incorrect, this is an RPK with a dimpled receiver which were made before 1973.. so something like "One of the early RPK's of the late '60s/early '70s" would be more correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FW200 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it says that the person in the photograph is a Georgian Soldier in this article, but the article about the squad automatic weapon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squad_automatic_weapon) says that it is a Romanian Soldier. Which nationality is he? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.23.52.21 (talk) 03:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

English Language Links

Could someone please get a couple of English Links to information on the RPK. Most of the people here probably do not speak fluent Russian.Paulwharton 16:27, 08 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison Image

The image comparing the RPK-74 and AK-74 has been flipped horizontally. The ejection port and fire selector are on the wrong side. Would changing it cause any copyright problems? Zm634 (talk) 15:41, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
