Regarding the Bulldog: I think it is a post-war weapon, because it clearly looks like assembled from several weapon parts, there are some AK parts (like the barrel), the receiver is either AK or SVU, and everything is connected together by fairly crude welding (you can see those welding seams for example above the grip, as the top of the receiver with "venting holes" seems to be welded on top of the bottom part). Another thing that somebody mentioned is for example the gas block, which has a weird curve to it, as if it was taken from a different weapon, being too tall for this one, so it had to be modified...

Real-life weapons hardly ever look so crudely made, they would have to be produced in some very poor third world country, or a long time ago, but not in modern-day Russia. Even prototypes aren't just randomly welded together by some dude in the garage, making "emergency modifications", like bending the gas block, along the way. :D Prototype weapons usually look fairly plain and perhaps more "blocky", because the final shape of all the parts isn't refined yet to be ergonomical, but their engineering quality shouldn't be that bad... :D The fact that its description says that it's an "advanced design" doesn't mean anything, they could simply mean that it's advanced for a post-war weapon, as other post-war guns, like the Duplet or the Bastard, are much more "primitive" than this gun... :D

The only way Bulldog could be a pre-war weapon is if it was only a half-assembled prototype, and somebody finished it post-war. However, I don't think there would be multiple of them if that was the case. :D But it definitely isn't a weapon soldiers of one of the sides in the Great War were equipped with. :D

I don't want to argue, just please, take these facts into consideration. I won't edit this part of the article anymore, but if you feel I'm right, you can maybe alter it yourself. Maybe we simply don't have enough information to say whether it's pre-war or post-war, as it has never been clearly stated in the game, so the best way of altering the article might be to simply leave the origin information out, or make it sound more speculative. :D
