message: I changed 'drum-magazine' to 'box'. I did this because the term could be could be confusing as regards weapons like the Lewis. The normal term for a piece of equipment like this is 'belt-box'. RASAM (talk) 18:44, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I propose we don't really need a separate article for the Kynoch machine gun. As the article creator says, it's "basically a copy". Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 01:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

message: While it was assembled in Austria-Hungary it was designed by a German firearms designer, so I wonder if stating that Austria-Hungary is the county of origin in the infobox is correct. What are your thoughts and what are the wikipedia rules in these cases? M11rtinb (talk) 17:53, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

message: In the infobox, under Produced it's written that this MG was produced ever after WWI (presumably in Czechoslovakia) until 1939. My understanding is that these were conversions from the 8x50mmR Mannlicher to 7.92x57mm Mauser cartridge and not new products. These post WWI modifications shouldn't be considered as production years, should they? M11rtinb (talk) 20:06, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess everyone agrees, changing years of production to 1908-1918. M11rtinb (talk) 19:59, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

message: While in modern parlance, a medium machine gun typically fires a "rifle" cartridge of 6-8mm calibre, as does the M1907/12 here, I feel this is not a fitting term at all for the weapon. This weapon should sit firmly within the category of "heavy machine gun", a term widely used at the time for this class of extremely heavy, rifle-calibre static weapon. While the general characteristics of a modern heavy machine gun are radically different from those in WWI, their employment and role are largely unchanged - a heavy static weapon used for extended firing at range, and not mobile.
I suspect it may have once been refered to in the article as 'heavy' machine gun, but a well-meaning editor may have tried to cross-reference those articles, seen the general descriptors of a modern heavy machine gun (extremely large 12mm cartridge), and decided to use a reference they deemed more fitting. Both articles, medium and heavy machine gun, in fact specifically reference heavy WWI-era guns as not being medium machine guns at all. 86.17.120.120 (talk) 14:07, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
