This is meant to be a thread for odds & ends that don't quite warrant having their own posts. Additional small bits of information of weapons, help with identifying weapons, and various talk.

I have run across a photo of a Vz 58 "RPK" but really don't have any other info on it. If anyone knows the design history or of any details around it and why it wasn't put into production that would be greatly appreciated.
I also have a related interest in 5.45mm Czech rifles, which were supposedly in some kind of prototype stage but I've never been able to find a photo the the elusive guns.
Link to a classic 1966 US Army training film for the XM16E1. Not really forgotten and I don't feel like putting together a whole early M16 timeline, so enjoy the video.
I think this is a Colt 607, which if true makes it a very rare instance of seeing this design in the field. If anybody knows more about this picture or can 100% verify it is a 607 that would be appreciated.
Don't have an ID on the make or model. Found the image a while ago while I was looking at some weird Russian/Soviet guns.
