I notice that this project links to a missing naming guideline, which got disappeared in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Weaponry_task_force&diff=403785459&oldid=402022146 this diff]. The said that the generic name part of a title (like rifle, musket, carbine, etc.) should be lowercase, which agrees with the rest of WP style. I've found a few violations of that and have been fixing them. Comments? Help? [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 03:12, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

== 700 rounds per minute? ==

Tha article on the Sig 516, a semi-automatic rifle, states that it's rate of fire is 700 rounds per minute. Really? With 1 round per pull of the trigger? 70 would be more accurate.

"Category:Machine shotguns" has been proposed to be merged to "Category:Selective-fire shotguns", and that "automatic shotgun" should be renamed. Please note there is also Category:Semi-automatic shotguns -- 76.65.131.160 (talk) 06:02, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gun law topics

A discussion at Talk:Gun politics#Duplication and article title concerns what to do with the overlapping articles: firearms law, gun politics, and gun control. Marcus Qwertyus 00:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:LongGunAction has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. DH85868993 (talk) 15:02, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IMFDB

This may or may not qualify as part of the WikiProject Firearms but I wanted to draw peoples attention to IMFDB. If you haven't seen the site before it is pretty cool. It would also be interesting to add links from firearms pages to this site. Just like when you look at an actors page there is a link to their IMDB page, it would be nice to have a link from say the Beretta 92FS page to the page on IMFDB. This can be done with the help of the IMFDB Title Template. --Zackmann08 (talk) 14:36, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Naming guidelines?

I notice that this project links to a missing naming guideline, which got disappeared in this diff. The said that the generic name part of a title (like rifle, musket, carbine, etc.) should be lowercase, which agrees with the rest of WP style. I've found a few violations of that and have been fixing them. Comments? Help? Dicklyon (talk) 03:12, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
