Soviet Light weapons forum

[Art]

Gentlemen,

I didn't see much interest in the weapons forum which is primarily why the idea was nixed. Also, people who were opposed to it have made several good points:

1. Guns are illegal for many and thus really not collectible. What could we talk about after we have posted images for all the soviet/eastern bloc weapons?

2. We ARE limited on website space. Seeing as the main content for the weapons forum would be images, it would be a drain for the entire website.

3. Edged weapons are more closely associated with the regalia of the military and function more as symbols than as operational weapons. While Durov shows firearm presentation weapons, how many of these have actually been sold on the open market to warrant a forum for its discussion?

4. There are excellent Soviet weapons forums already in existence which have amassed mountains of information already. One of the best is within the links section of this website. For those interested:
