GA under review

Hello there, the article M1 Garand rifle which falls under the auspices of this Wikiproject, has come under review as part of GA Sweeps and a number of problems have been identified and listed on the talk page. If these problems have not begun to be addressed by seven days from this notice, the article will be delisted from GA and will have to go through the GAN process all over again to regain its status once improvements have been made. If you have any questions, please drop me a line.--Jackyd101 (talk) 23:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jackyd101's comments are at Talk:M1 Garand rifle/GA1. I suggest that any discussion about this be centralized on that page. — Mudwater^(Talk) 01:33, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Out of ammo

Is there a military-specific task force for ammo? If so, .56-56 Spencer & .45-70 could use tagging, for starters. TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 12:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cutlery

Well, it might be a stretch, but I'm putting together a "Wikiproject: Cutlery" to do for the knife and bladed weapons, what we've done for the firearms articles. This project has made a huge impact! As I obviously have "crossover interest", I was wondering if any of you might have the same. We seem to face common antagonists (those who want to delete anything weapon related on Wiki or those who want anything other than plastic forks banned). Maybe a task force under this project? Let it be known here:[1]. Thanks--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 16:30, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Take your aim

Given the of importance of volley fire to infantry tactics between 1600 & 1914, a better link than Volley gun or Organ gun is badly needed. TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 13:16, 19 July 2008 (UTC) (P.S. Same issue raised here.)[reply]

Maadi arm

I just came across this article marked for speedy deletion as spam, which it clearly isn't. It is in need of references and expansion though, but an inexpert search on my part failed to provide any. So, I thought I'd bring it to the attention of the experts. Enjoy! Olaf Davis | Talk 23:09, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If I am not mistaken, the ARM is a license copy of the AKM. Unless it has undergone dramatic modifications, I will merge it with the AKM page. Koalorka (talk) 23:13, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-I uploaded this image demonstrating the blood splatter after hitting a woodchuck (woodchuck removed from photograph) with a .22 Rifle.  I fired from prone position a hill from a good distance away using a scope.  Anyway, it's there if anyone think it's useful for showing the consequences of being hit by that kind of rifle.  The woodchucks were tunneling by our house and causing basement water (traps didn't work).  --<font face="Times New Roman">Happy editing!
