Talk:KK 62

Originality?

The whole page is basically a copy-paste of the Modern Firearms article. Shouldn't that be changed? Also, the PKM has already replaced some KKs already, so shouldn't that be mentioned in the article? Rynky (talk) 00:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

drawbacks?

quote:

The major drawbacks are the lack of a quick-changeable barrel and sensitivity to dirt and humidity – the KK 62 requires much more care in a combat environment than most FDF assault rifles.

This maybe correct when using blank ammo, but with live rounds ive yet to see this weapon fail, maybe this should be corrected or removed alltogether? Also the heavy barrel is hardly a drawback as such, sure it weights more, but it wont be a issue when weapon is fired in short bursts as it should be and as the belts cannot be linked being just 100 rounders you hardly can fire it fast enough to this to be a issue again when firing correctly on bursts.

My MG jammed and performed poorly both with blanks and live rounds, even when the gas port was adjusted. They are getting old. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.15.123.1 (talk) 18:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

KK 62 vs. Kk 62

Current FDF nomenclature uses the abbreviation 7.62 KK 62 (from 7.62 konekivääri 62) as in current FDF manuals (Taistelijan Opas 2013, Kevytasekäsikirja 2019 etc.). The initial historical abbreviation was 762 KK 62 (unlike the m/60 prototype, which was abbreviated as 762 KVKK 60) without the decimal dot, according to volume 2 of Palokangas' book Sotilaskäsiaseet Suomessa 1918-1988, and subsequently also lowercase 7.62 kk 62 was used (eg. in Kevytasekäsikirja 2004) before moving to the current uppercase abbreviation. However, Kk 62 with only the first letter capitalised is completely incorrect, due to which I made a request to move this over the redirect page KK 62 to rename this article correctly. --XoravaX (talk) 21:16, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
