Yeah, this gun looks horrible. I could never see John Wayne or Clint Eastwood using one of these things and not looking like a complete fool. But 34 rounds is a lot of firepower in a rifle of the era... unless it inevitabley jammed. - Gunmaster45

You have to wonder how expensive the ammo was since it was made for that rifle alone. --Jcordell 15:37, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

The Russian Navy and even the army bought a small number of them, but as far as is known, they were never widely used. Perhaps the whole problem was again in the cartridges. --Slon95 (talk) 17:46, 5 September 2020 (EDT)

I did not know that. Thanks. --Jcordell (talk) 20:47, 5 September 2020 (EDT)
