Category:Weapons by country[edit]

Hi, User:Andy Dingley.[1] Weapons are categorized by country of development, not of production or use. See the description in the top category Category:Weapons by country. Notice, for example, the T-54/55 is only categorized as a tank of the Soviet Union, not of Czechoslovakia and Poland that also manufactured it, nor of the many T-54/T-55 operators that used it. —Michael Z. 13:28, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We are admittedly inconsistent on this, see for instance, Smith & Wesson Model 10 & Thompson submachine gun as UK infantry weapons, both US made.

But my point here is that the Aasen might have been a Norwegian invention (in France), but they were developed in Russia and produced in Russia, for use by Russia, their only user.

A similar point could be made for the first Vickers Maxim guns (which make it into Category:Weapons of the Ottoman Empire, along with many others!). Vickers became involved with Maxim firstly to set up a factory in Russia to produce Maxims chambered for the Mosin–Nagant round. This involved a major redesign of the Maxim, to produce what became the 'Vickers gun' when it was re-introduced to the UK by Vickers, then built in such numbers for WWI. (Listed under Category:World War I infantry weapons of the United States and Category:Weapons of the Philippine Army.) It also led to the PM M1910. The Vickers-Maxim (which we don't have an article on) and the PM M1910 would surely be Russian, even by the tightest of your definitions? Andy Dingley (talk) 13:58, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
