Welcome to the Weaponry task force. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the main military history talk page, or you can directly approach one of the task force participants below. The coordinators responsible for maintenance and general housekeeping are Ranger Steve, Sturmvogel_66 and EyeSerene. Scope This task force covers all topics related to weaponry, including weapons, armor, explosives, ammunition, and armoured fighting vehicles; it can be considered to be a subgroup of the military science and technology task force, whose scope includes every such topic. Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Weaponry-task-force=yes to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Weaponry task force articles.

Article statistics

The table to the right shows the current article assessment statistics for this task force. A list of the top 500 most popular articles within our scope, as well as the number of page views each article received over the past month, can be found here. With most of our articles assessed as Stub- or Start-Class, there's a lot of work to be done. However, we also have a number of good, A-Class, and featured articles, which have been assessed as amongst the best Wikipedia has to offer. These article serve as a yardstick for what can be achieved and should be aimed for, and can provide ideas about how to write an article and what sources to consult; they are listed below: Featured articles 1968 Thule Air Base B-52 crash Amchitka AMX-30 AMX-30E Arena (countermeasure) Armament of the Iowa class battleship BAE Systems Battleship Cannon Dreadnought Ernest Emerson Ironclad warship Leopard 2E Light Tank Mk VII Tetrarch Lince (tank) USS Missouri (BB-63) M249 light machine gun Panzer I Pre-dreadnought battleship Rheinmetall 120 mm gun TAM (tank) Tanks in the Spanish Army T-26 T-34 Verdeja Webley Revolver A-Class articles 37 mm Gun M3 Arrow (missile) Battle of the Kalka River Early thermal weapons Enfield revolver Heuschrecke 10 Horses in warfare Lee-Enfield List of tanks in the Spanish Civil War M22 Locust Manhattan Project Ordnance QF 25-pounder Short Panzer IV Republic F-84 Thunderjet Sd.Kfz. 10 Sukhoi Su-25 United States Naval Gunfire Support debate Good articles 5.7x28mm 68-pounder gun 152 mm howitzer M1943 (D-1) 30.5 cm SK L/50 gun 2009 North Korean nuclear test AASM AIL Storm Arrow (missile) ASM-A-1 Tarzon Battle of the Kalka River BGM-75 AICBM BL 18 inch Mk I naval gun Bold Orion British nuclear tests at Maralinga Cannon in the Middle Ages Commission to Assess the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States CQC-6 Dugway sheep incident Early thermal weapons Enfield revolver English cannon FN Five-seven FN P90 General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon Heuschrecke 10 History of cannon Horses in warfare Interstate TDR Iowa class battleship Katyusha rocket launcher Light Tank Mk VIII M22 Locust LT vz. 34 Main Navy and Munitions Buildings Manhattan Project Northover Projector Panzer 35(t) PIAT Republic F-105 Thunderchief Sd.Kfz. 10 Smith Gun Sticky bomb Tiger II Winchester Model 1897 World War II
