Trivia

• In very early testings of the game's development, the weapon's name was originally named the IZH-43, although that version of the weapon was developed after the Vietnam War, in year 1984; said reasons as to this mistake's occurrence mainly have to do with misconceptions, as the weapon can be seen in game series like Vietcong. Poor or lack of english documentation of the IZH series also contributes to this.
