Talk:PTRS-41

message: In the Traveller science fiction roleplaying game universe, isn't the PTRS41 supposedly still in production centuries in the future, as a sniper weapon capable of being used against infantrymen in powered armor?  It has been many years but I seem to recall that it was in the game material, and that there was even a military slang term for it mentioned:  "the Crunch Gun."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.242.249 (talk) 23:16, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I came across a picture of a PTRD and PTRS being used in the anti-aircraft role.  The caption notes the difficulty in actually performing such a feat.  Another webpage has the same picture but in a JPG format.  I assume the picture comes from old Soviet archives, so its copyright status may fit Wikipedia's requirements. --UnneededAplomb (talk) 21:21, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The schurtzen or skirts used by the germans in the second world war were not typically fitted to defend against anti tank rifles as the plates were not hard enough to stop an antitank rifle. Schurtzen were primarily used to defend against shaped charges due to the spacing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.211.233.62 (talk) 15:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not so; it is well documented that schurzen were designed to counter Soviet AT rifles. The fact that they also might assist with defeating HEAT warheads was an unintended bonus, and a marginal one at that since very few Soviet weapons used a HEAT warhead and the spacing needs to be correct to have any effect.

message: The article states the service period as 1941-Present, which seems quite unlikely. The "Present" part appeared in this edit by an IP: . There is a possibility that this could be true, so I just added a citation template. — Marvin talk 16:12, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

message: "Simonov and his partner Diegtiarev..."  I wonder if  collegue would be better.  It doesnt seem they did worked together, they had each own construction bureau.  Even if they surely knew each other, and probably had some informal cooperation. OR?/StefanZ, Sweden90.231.255.39 (talk) 07:29, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Partner with Diegtiarev? 

message: Just about all of the other about firearms articles on Wikipedia explain what the name stands for and phonetic pronunciation of it, shown along with an English translation of the name, but this article on the PTRS-41 lacks one. After a bit of research, it happens that "PTRS" stands for Protivo Tankovoe Ruhze Sistemy Simonova (Противотанковое ружье системы Симонова)in Russian, which is, in English, Simonov anti-tank gun system. Anyone mind putting this into the article, or is this unimportant/inaccurate? Thanks. --99.245.15.145 (talk) 23:15, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
