This page does not seem to recognize that Gast-action guns are alive and well and used extensively by Russian and former East Block weapons designers. The Gsh-23 and Gsh-30 guns in particular are featured prominently on generations of MIGs and Hind attack helicopters.

Unless there is a page on the Gast-action as an archetypical design, then this page needs to be expanded.
