Lightbreather, please justify your use of misleading links to articles that do not exist. There are other articles available to provide examples of assault pistols. -- Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 05:15, 25 March 2015 (UTC) reply

• The KG-99 is mentioned in the TEC-9 article, which is why it redirects there, I'm sure. This isn't forbidden or uncommon, per WP:POFRED. When/if someone creates a KG-99 article, this article will link to that. Lightbreather ( talk) 08:01, 25 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Shouldn't that whole section be deleted? We already have wikilinks to examples in the section above it. At the very least we need to clarify 'where' these particular firearms are defined as assault pistols. Part of the issue is that the term is so hard to pin down - by putting "examples" in the encyclopedia's voice, we're misleading the reader. Faceless Enemy ( talk) 12:03, 25 March 2015 (UTC) reply

FE makes a good point. -- Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 14:58, 25 March 2015 (UTC) reply
