Why was the article moved to "DShK 1938"? It covers all versions of the DShk: both the DShK Model 1938 (DShk 38) and DShKM 38/46 (as well as the older DK). The name is not only overly specific for this article, it is also very rare in Google searches (in either English or Russian):

• DShk: 43,000 results
• "DShK 38": 1,010
• "DShK 1938": 227

• ДШК: 61,300
• "ДШК 38": 43
• "ДШК 1938": 2

Unless a convincing argument is shown, I suggest moving this article back to DShK. —Michael Z. 2006-07-07 18:42 Z

I can see no convincing argument at all, so I have moved it back. I wouldn't be surprised if the editor in question was working through a book without necessarily checking whether there are pre-existant articles; see edit history of "list of common infantry weapons of WW2"GraemeLeggett 19:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that this is included in the list of wars in the infobox that the weapon has been used in. Not only would it be logical that Afghan forces (either Taleban etc.. or Northern Alliance etc..) would use this weapon because of the previous Soviet occupation of Afghan, and there's also plenty of information on this subject on the interweb.

Poland used both DShK and DShKM variant. DShKM was also manufactured under license: "WKM-DSZK 12.7 mm machine gun for the T-55 tank" and "tripod for the WKM DSZK 12.7 mm machine gun, transported on a chassis, designed by OBR SM Tarnów" source: http://www.obr.tarnow.pl/obr_sm/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=41&Itemid=123&lang=en — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.96.239.59 (talk) 21:23, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that the GDR (East Germany) also had the type, just labeling it "DSchK" instead of "DShK" as you would in German. First result on Google:

Seems only logical since all the other Warsaw Pact states had it in their armories. Remains the question what became of them after 1990 (the guns, not the states). JB. --92.193.183.255 (talk) 08:16, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
