Is the GAZ in the picture an unarmed variant, or just 'buttoned-up?' Replacing it with an example that has the machine gun deployed would help to add clarity.
Naming explanation is wrong. "Vod" means water, "nyik" generaly means "the one who deals with smth." -- so Vodnyik means "the one who deals with water". Compare to "Sportsmen vodnyik" -- a (professional) water sports sportsman (nothing like car/van). "Pozharnyik": "Pozhar" -- fire, "nyik" -- "the one who deals with smth", results in "people trained to extinguish fires" (as Oxford Dictionary explains). "Lesnyik": the one who deals with forests.
Just FYI, the majority of this article is a copy of this post from the Military Equipments blog (maybe a third of the way down the page), and should be rewritten and cited (unless of course the blog copied it from here - or somewhere else :) ). And before Sergei's edit was even more so. I'm not the guy for this, not an expert at all, just noticed because I was searching for GAZ pics. 96.238.148.17 ( talk) 02:30, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
In the article, it says that the vehicle does not float and has no facility for propelling itself through the water. However, I've found many sources (including videos and photographs) that clearly show an operational propeller duct system. A lot of the source material is in Russian, though, and machine translation can't help with audio. Can anyone clear this up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dziban303 ( talk • contribs) 21:54, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
