Total Overdose

We frown upon users purposely creating incomplete pages, especially pages for games. Since you obviously already own the game and have played it, then it only makes sense for you to complete the page rather than forcing someone else to purchase it. --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:20, 22 July 2013 (EDT)

M27 IAR

While it's fielded in the SAW role, it's mechanically just an assault rifle, so it's really best off there. As for your other question; the problem with trying to have a chambered round in a bolt-action clip-fed rifle is that you chamber a round by the action of pushing the bolt forward. Obviously, you can't load the rifle if the bolt is closed, and opening it would eject any chambered round. Evil Tim (talk) 08:32, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

Just to add, a lot of the early bolt action service rifles (including the Springfield 1906 you asked about along with the Lebel Model 1886, Krag-Jørgensen, and early Lee Enfields) were fitted with something called a magazine cut off. This interrupted feeding from the magazine so that you could close the bolt without picking up a round from the mag. The purpose of these was to have a full magazine loaded and activate the cut off, and use the rifle as a single shot saving the rounds in the magazine for an emergency. Theoretically though you could load a magazine, activate the cut off, manually insert a round into the chamber, close the bolt and then deactivate the cut off, which would result in you having the full magazine plus one in the chamber. I doubt this was rarely, if ever, actually done though and experience in actual wars led to the magazine cut off being dropped as an unnecessary complication on most service rifles. The idea of a magazine cut off has survived in shotguns though, where it is useful when loading a round of a different ammunition as opposed to whatever is currently in the magazine, or if you want to make the gun safe. --commando552 (talk) 12:51, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

Half-Life 2 Alyx Gun

I dont wish to be a dickhead but please explain me how can the Alyx gun be partially based on the TDI Kard if that game was released in 2004?? Not sure about the VBR but I think it did not exist back then as well. --bozitojugg3rn4ut (talk) 15:47, 3 September 2013 (EDT)

Brackets

I used to do exactly what you do and I just figured I'd point it out so you can watch yourself for it; when you put something in brackets, make sure it's an aside connected to the previous thought, not a completely different thought. In general you'll find 50% of the things you thought should go in brackets are actually fine as new sentences. Evil Tim (talk) 07:20, 3 December 2013 (EST)

re: Hey

With fully automatic open bolt weapons it is the case that you do not need to cock the bolt if you are changing a half empty magazine. It would also be true for an empty magazine, but only if you happened to let your finger off of the trigger after the bolt had started moving forward on the last shot, but before the bolt cycled back again which would be difficult to do, particularly on weapons with a high rate of fire. The AA-12 and Thompson feed from drum magazine which do not operate any differently to box magazines (as far as the gun is concerned) meaning that if you swap one out with the bolt in the rear position, you will not need to cock it again.

For belt fed machine guns I am not 100% sure, but I believe that if the bolt was to the rear you would simply need to open the feed tray, swap out the existing belt and close the tray again. However this is not the case with all machine guns. For example, on the PKM due to the fact that it fires a rimmed case the operation is more complicated, whereby as the bolt moves backwards it strips a round from the belt, and then chambers/fires it when the bolt goes forward. This means that the bolt needs to be cycled when a new belt is inserted even if the bolt is already to the rear, as the first new round needs to be stripped off of the belt and put into the feedway. This is how a lot of earlier machine guns opperated (including the M2HB for example) as is called "two stage", whereas more modern machine gun ten to use single stage "push through" mechanism. I think it might be the case that if you were to reload a two stage machine gun when there was still a round in the feedway you would not need to cock it again, but am not sure about that and would also depend on the gun probably.

As for the rocket thing, yes, most modern shoulder launched rockets and missiles will have a minimum arming distance which is normally determined by an amount of revolutions after it is fired. However this is not necessarily always the case, as for example there are currently some companies that manufacture RPG-7 round which omit this feature. --commando552 (talk) 18:23, 11 January 2014 (EST)

Ghosts

The reason doesn't fit in the edit box. Moving the information on marksman rifles to a section after them makes no sense, the shotgun reload can be started for any number of rounds and therefore could be interrupted normally if they'd wanted it to, you shouldn't re-pipe the link to the VSSK to a title we don't use for it. The rest of the edits are just fiddling that's the same either way around and isn't necessary. Evil Tim (talk) 17:44, 12 January 2014 (EST)
