Was the OVP in 9mm Kurz (as the article says now) or the 9 mm Glisenti? Surv1v4l1st ^{( Talk| Contribs)} 02:22, 15 June 2009 (UTC) reply

For the record, standard reference work WHB Smith, "Small Arms of the World" (Stackpole, 1966) says the Villar Perosa and OVP were 9mm Glisenti and every reference I have seen says 9mm Glisenti. Confusion arises in regard to 9mm Italian military weapons because the Italian military used

_ 9mm Corto (.380 ACP, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Browning Short)

_ 9mm Glisenti (a light load in the 9x19mm case using truncated cone bullet)

_ 9x19mm Parabellum (standard load with typical bullet nose)

_ 9mm M38 (a higher velocity load in the 9x19mm case headstamped M38 for the Beretta submachineguns)

According to Ian McCollum, it's 9x19mm Parabellum. At least the OVP in his video (it's in his article) is chambered so. Dieſelmaus ( talk) 17:35, 30 September 2019 (UTC) reply

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of OVP 1918's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:57, 27 February 2021 (UTC) reply
