Talk:Vz. 52 rifle

Factually incorrect entries in the list of users
The list of users contains numerous entries of countries supposedly having used this weapon with very strange references, references so erroneous they could only have been added by a bot. What caught my attention was that the reference used for Swedens entry in the list simply lists to the law stating that Swedish is the official language of Sweden, and Ghanas reference points to a page with basic information of Ghana and the reference for China supposedly having used the weapon is a page describing which countries muslims live in. I suggest someone more knowledgeable with editing removes the entries with obviously erroneous entries like the ones I mentioned, as I'm not too familiar with editing here. 83.251.97.253 (talk) 13:10, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
 * you are right. These entries were added by the vandal described here: Long-term abuse/Thai gun hoaxster.--Le Petit Chat (talk) 20:18, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

I added more information to the article, please correct my English. I suggest to merge Vz 52 and Vz 52/57 articles (to remove Vz 52/57 article).

Optical sights This rifle was never used with optical sights of any kind, there were some tests with scope mount, but such version wasn't accepted into army. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.24.69.115 (talk) 17:44, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

"this arrangement enables the shooter to reload the rifle without disturbing his aim." I haven't shot a vz.52/57, but in 40 years, I've shot pretty much everything else. There is simply no way you can change a magazine and either trip a bolt hold open release or pull a bolt handle back to chamber a round without taking your eyes off the target, ESPECIALLY with a rifle or carbine with a charging handle on the right hand side, where it can only be operated by the same hand that carries the trigger finger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.35.177.76 (talk) 08:18, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Vietnam War?
I've read that the vz52 was (very rarely) encountered during the Vietnam War. Does anyone know more about whether or not this is true?--172.190.138.111 (talk) 23:23, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes it was used by the VietCong in Vietnam

Actually they used the vz.52/57 in order to simplify ammo logistics — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.233.186.18 (talk) 08:14, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Vz. 52 rifle
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Vz. 52 rifle's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Jones": From Malta:  From Pakistan:  From AK-47:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:08, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
