The magazine of the ZB-47 is inserted... vertically ?

edit

To me "inserted vertically" in this case shoud mean something like MP40's magazine, which is, indeed, oriented vertically when inserted. In ZB-47, however, the magazine was fixed on the gun (when inserted) in just the same position and at the same angle it is depicted on the image, and I believe that should be called "horizontally" not "vertically". Resembling system is used in FN P90, and its magazine is usually described as "horizontal". 95.79.209.146 (talk) 18:42, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Page deserves writeup, not redirect; my opinion is that its mechanics serve well for info.

I have not edited an article before, nor is it a priority of mine to do so, but i really love the mechanics behind this gun. I feel that it deserves an article. some sources i found.

I will try to edit this page a little bit, but I don't hold any promises to quality; i'm quite overwhelmed with schoolwork & life, wikipedia is at this point just me cleaning up someone else's problem to cope with mine. Skelobones (talk) 23:41, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
