Nambu Type II

The Nambu Model II is a real gun but the photos that I removed from the Enlisted page were modern non-functioning replicas made by Japanese hobbyists. The real gun that the Enlisted model is based on is currently in an American private collection. Get Em Puppy (talk) 17:46, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

wz. vs Wz.

Hello, wanted to ask what is the reasoning behind the capital "Wz." as should be supposed to be "wz." If I am not wrong. Here source from Łucnik FB Radom. https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/wUwgPTce6TPG --Dannyguns (talk) 18:54, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Dziękuje bardzo Emto! --Dannyguns (talk) 18:24, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Seconding this, lowercase seems to be correct to me as well. Alex T Snow (talk) 23:43, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Gun Images

I've noticed that you've uploaded a large amount of gun images over the past few months. Where exactly have you gotten them? Users are generally encouraged to cite the source of any outside gun image they upload. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 15:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

moh allied assault

Anyone can edit a page and add photos, I started adding them because I was reminded of it when I saw it in the "Recent Changes" section of the site and remembered how no one had added the multiplayer-only weapons so I figured I'd add them since most people who play AA nowadays play the single player so they'd still miss the multiplayer-only weaponry.--User:Samz (talk) 14:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Except I've already added images of the Breda M30/Grenade Kar98k from multiplayer? there's no need to replace images that are already good enough.--Samz (talk) 15:06, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Replacing Images

When you replace an image on a page, would you please upload the new image as a new version of the file it's replacing (i.e. click on the image and select "upload a new version of this file") instead of uploading a new file entirely and tagging the old one for deletion? Normally I wouldn't mind so much, but on a page like Enlisted, where you have replaced seemingly every image on the page at one point or another, it gets a bit tiresome deleting several hundred images.

Thank you for the LON-1 improvement

Was having an hard time finding infos. Dzękuje bardzo!--Dannyguns (talk) 20:12, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Page Merges

I can understand the idea of what you're doing, but please stop merging multiple guns together on one page and re-naming it generically, especially when they aren't particularly related to each other. It is common practice to name a page containing multiple related gun designs according to the primary model (especially when the other models are far less well-known and/or were produced in far smaller numbers).

If you want to propose a page re-name or merge, you should at least propose it on the talk page and ask for approval first, instead of just making a massive change like this without consulting anyone. Your PPSh page rework will be reverted soon, as it isn't really necessary, and only causes further confusion (especially with the completely unrelated Shpitalny PPSh-40 being listed first); some of the unrelated projects on the Degtyaryov PPD page will also likely be put back onto their own pages.

In the future, please gain approval on a page's talk page before making a large-scale change like this. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 16:01, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

The Korovin and Tokarev designs should probably be made into their own pages - given that, as far as I'm aware, there's only one model of each, they can simply be called "Korovin PPK-41" and "Tokarev PPT-27" (or simply "Tokarev Model 1927", like it was before).

Vehicle mounted weapons

These don't normally have "Modifications" in video games so I don't see the point in having an empty column. The Videogame template doesn't have a version that lacks this category, so I have to use the original long-form formatting.--AgentGumby (talk) 15:14, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

I am not doing this if a weapon entry has info listed in this category - which is usually the case for machine guns like the PKT or M240. If the category is blank and not used at all, I will remove it. In the case of Enlisted, you seem to have already listed the DT in two separate sub-entries as the DT-29 Infantry and then the vehicle mounted version. There is nothing written in the "Mods" column as of this edit. Okay, I see you've added info now.--AgentGumby (talk) 15:29, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Things like anti-tank mines don't have "Mods" in videogames so I'm removing unused/pointless columns. Can you not understand this perspective?--AgentGumby (talk) 15:48, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

No examples of this have been provided on the wiki, at least on the pages I recently updated. I do not understand why updating some VG tables with missing entries for games and performing some clean up work is offensive to you. I am not seeing a rule on this wiki that the shorthand table must be used.--AgentGumby (talk) 16:01, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Page Moving

Please do not move pages without checking first. You have been warned about this before, and yet you chose to move the M1 Garand page to M1 Garand rifle, for no discernible reason, without seeking anybody's approval first. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 13:40, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

RE:Call of Duty

I see. I was kinda following the MWR approach when it comes to weapons added from the original release of the game. So if I wanted to add a weapon back to its original respective category, may I add a "(*)" on the header of the entry to indicate a weapon added by the expansion? See the Call of Duty: Black Ops for that. XSlayer300 (talk) 19:35, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Well I put WIP in the header as there are missing images. I do not have the game right now, so feel free to upload the shots in high quality if you wish. XSlayer300 (talk) 22:41, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

About the Te-4 aircraft machine gun and Vickers Class E

In this page: https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Vickers
Japan has a very clumsy nomenclature, and what really was a license copy of Vickers E is called "Type 89 fixed MG", which was already presented in the "Type 97 aircraft MG" section. However, what Te-4 is related to is the "Type 89 flexible machine gun" and therefore it should be removed from the Vickers page.
Enlisted made a mistake about the weapon. This image could made a more clear explanation. -Hanxi Channel (talk) 21:14, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Re: Metric markings od cartridges

For me, this is a matter of consistency and clarity.

Most of this site does not have any calibers listed in imperial with metric conversions or vice versa. Are we going to start putting "7.62×63mm" in parenthesis every time .30-06 is mentioned on this site? What about other calibers? Should I start putting .355 caliber in parenthesis when 9x19mm is mentioned? The easiest thing is just to list these calibers as what everyone knows them as. Yes, I know 7.62×63mm is an accepted metric term for .30-06, and I've never bought ammo in Europe so I believe you, but I promise you .30-06 is what the caliber is most popularly and widely known as. I for one highly doubt that absolutely no one in all of Europe doesn't refer to it as .30-06. It's not some obscure caliber either, it's one of the most popular sporting cartridges in the world. If I walked into any gun store in the world and asked for .30-06, I imagine an employee would know exactly what I'm talking about unless this is their very first day handling anything gun related. If I'm calling it 7.62×63mm, not so likely. .45 ACP's accepted metric designation is 11.43×23mm but I'm going to imagine very, very few people are insistent on calling it that. Everyone, on the other hand, knows what a "Colt .45" is.

Furthermore, this site is used by a lot of people to learn a bit more about firearms, and throwing out multiple synonyms for the same caliber, especially more obscure or technical synonyms that would only really be known by those like you or I who have a real interest in this stuff, would only serve to confuse people, especially those who have limited knowledge of firearms and ammunition.

In summary, I'm not looking to get into an edit war over caliber names as I think that would be a waste of both our time, I'm just laying out my belief that we should keep things consistent and simple for anyone stumbling upon this website. --PyramidHead (talk) 15:40, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

RE: SoF2

I added the pics cuz I saw that there were still some that were unupdated so I thought you might need some help with completing the page. If you don't want others to get in your way, leave a note in the page's discussion. This site is a public domain so that means everyone can edit whatever and whenever they want, bro. -Doe0451 (talk) 08:12, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, this wiki is free for anybody and everybody to edit. You can't just tell people to not work on whatever you're working on; anyone can contribute and you shouldn't stop them from doing so. --Dnkakusei (talk) 12:19, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Mateogala, you need to be polite in your interactions with other users. You've been notified many times about your behavior. If you're in the process of building a page and uploading screencaps, you can inform people politely about your work in progress and that it's not done yet. However, you cannot be rude about it and abruptly disallow other users to make constructive edits. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 20:54, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Cannons

I initially saw the cannons page last night on my phone, but I wanted to wait until I had a copy of the rules open so I can be sure of what to delete. I'm referring to the section about firearms eligiblity. Nearly all the pages deleted were either naval cannons, howitzers, or other non-direct fire weapons. There's even an option in the drop down for reasons for deletion for non-Direct Fire weapons. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:45, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Let's look at the section of the rules I highlighted above. "Note that the rules for inclusion apply only to individual gun pages; editors are allowed to identify and include military weapon systems on media pages, including military vehicles, artillery pieces, etc." You can identify everything that has a barrel and shoots if you'd like, you just can't create a page for it. As for not knowing if it qualifies or not, this section specifies what is not eligible. For example, it cites howitzers, and you created pages for artillery pieces described as howitzers. ("The 10.5 cm leichte FeldHaubitze 18 or 10.5 cm leFH 18 is a German light howitzer used in World War II.") I'm not sure what you'd be confused about. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:56, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
