Russian naming convention honestly isn't too different from the American style, just semi-backwards.Yeah but at least you can say the abbreviated term for it ans know what they mean.
Still better then the soviets
Instead of M4 Carbine you get AKM, which basically is an abbreviation of 'Modern Automatic Kalashnikov'
RPD being "Degtyaryov handheld machinegun", and SVD being "Dragunov Sniper Rifle" and so on.
The only issue is you need to know Russian to understand them. X_X
