Nice guns. I am also a big fan of AKs! The only thing is that the sniper is called a Dragunov not a Dragunova. But anyway I subscribed and i'm looking forward for more of your vids.
@advtel To get gramatically technical, the suffix "a" on the word Druganov in Russian denotes ownership in the dative case just like the way we place an " 's" at the end of a word in English. In essence I called it a Druganova, to denote that it is "Druganov's Sniper Rifle". Just like the AK. His name was Kalishnakov, but it is said to be the "Avtomatni Kalishnakova", or Kalishnakov's Automatic.
@USSRairsoft Isnt it also the feminin version, when you ad an a? Feel free do confirm or deny that. I took russian in school 15 years ago, but sadly ive forgotten pretty much everything.
@grimmah1978 you are somewhat right. In the nominitive case "a" or "ya" denote female. When needing to make a word possesive like in this use the dative case: drugonov's sniper rifle, the noun ending for a masculine person is "a". I lived in Russia for two years speaking stricly Russian. Although that was 4 years ago, I am 100% sure.
Like!

@USSRairsoft Well everyone has their own way of pronouncing words. I guess were both right.
