message: I just read through the german entry for Maschinengewehr 08, which states that Germany was in possesion of 4919 MG08s at the start of WWI, while the english entry lists a numer of "aprox. 12000" MG08s available to german battle units at the start of WWI in August 1918. I have no means of checking  this numer, so I leave this here as a comment for someone who has. 84.148.119.73 20:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discrepancy between English and German entry for Maschinengewehr08 

message: This is really pulling down the whole story to a low level. The subject is too serious to be messed with by amateur historians. Now last paragraph has been corrected 71.84.8.103 (talk) 19:52, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poor use of English words and extremely long and awkward sentence structures in the last paragraph. 

message: Shouldn't 7.92 mm (0.31 in) be changed? Wasn't the actual bore diameter was .323, to fire the standard military caliber slug?  Trekphiler (talk) 12:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not going to add a definitive answer, since it's not my area, but this is precisely why we don't "translate" calibers in aircraft articles! :) --Rlandmann (talk) 11:33, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  SI units? 

message: These were all manufactured or re-manufactured to fire the rimmed 7.62x53R round thats similar to the Russian 7,62x54R, with some variation in bullet and case dimensions something like in .223 Remington vs 5.56x45mm NATO, sometimes being unsafe or inaccurate if "cross fired" from a weapon intended for the another. Maybe this should be mentioned in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.154.204.152 (talk) 16:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there any proof at all that confirms use of this machinegun by Austria-Hungary? I haven't found a single picture or other source that confirms this claim. M11rtinb (talk) 17:34, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
