Thanks again.
So more realistic dates for the AK-47 would be 1952-1975?

Yeah, weapons never get immediate replacement but if I can get a reasonable time-frame for front-line service I can probably come up with reasonable dates for second-line usage.

VERY interesting about the Pecheneg ... no tripod issued (and no quick change barrel)? That makes a HUGE difference to it's game stats. So the PKM is still the primary GPMG and the Pecheng fills the LMG role.
