Default Paul's PSZH write-up

Well, I was looking up the OT-65 to find more info about the pintle mount (can I put a DshK up there? Or maybe an AGS-17/30?) and it seems that Global Security.Org is quoting Paul's Site for some of its entries:

https://www.globalsecurity.org/milit...rope/ot-65.htm

The position is so cramped that fire through the two firing ports on each side of the hull and in the rear doors are at -1, and dismounting takes an additional phase if more than four passengers are in the vehicle.

Paul's Entry for the PSZH -

PSZH-IV
Notes: This is an APC version of the OT-65 FUG listed in the Twilight 2000 Version 2.2 rules (the Hungarian designation of which is the PSZH). The fuselage is topped with a turret mounting a KPV and PKT machinegun, and there is very cramped space in the rear for 6 infantrymen. The position is so cramped that fire through the two firing ports on each side of the hull and in the rear doors are at -1, and dismounting takes an additional phase if more than 4 passengers are in the vehicle. The turret is one man and does not have a hatch in the roof.

Congrats Paul, you can add Global Security expert to your resume!

It's sad the depths GlobalSecurity.org has plumbed to these days....not a knock on you, Paul. More, that they have to troll a game site to do actual research. But it's also a credit to Paul's research qualities. I'd actually email them and say "Hey, you wanna use my stuff? Pay me what you're paying a researcher."

Especially given they're now wanting you to pay them to see more than 4 pages a month!

I'm really curious to see how this transpires, I believe Paul should hit them up for payment considering Global Security's copyright statement.
Not only have they got lazy when it comes to research & reporting, they're a bunch of hypocrites as well
