Talk:ZU-23-2

Untitled
Would it help to comment on terminology?

ZSU = self-propelled. ZPU = towed.

ZxU-cc-n where cc is the calibre and n the number of barrels. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bob Moffatt (talk • contribs) 17:11, 17 June 2005 (UTC)

The above text about ZSU-23-2 seems a description of a "vulgar" towed ZU-23-2. Besides, as far as I know ZSU-23-2 is simply a misspelling of ZU-23-2, caused by similar designations such as ZSU-23-4, ZSU-57-2. In those designations, "S" stands for "samokhodnaya" - "self-propelled". ZU-23-2 is towed and afaik doesn't have an "official" self-propelled version (although improvised versions exist, see photo in the article or here ). So... does anybody have any information about something oficially called ZSU-23-2 ? If not, the article needs to be fixed. Bukvoed 09:22, 13 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Removed the above text. If somebody has any information about variant called ZSU-23-2, please add it to the variants section. Bukvoed 12:06, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Finnish ItK 95
Article says Finnish ItK 95 is often mounted on vehicle, i would personally say that it's never used from vehicle, only original model is used. That is what they train in finnish army —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.251.226.5 (talk • contribs) — Preceding undated comment added 23:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Rate of fire
Can we clarify that 2,000rpm is the rate of fire for both barrels combined, rated as a unitary system? I don't want to change it mysefl, not being 100% positive. AnnaGoFast (talk) 23:48, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
