Why is the Age of Empires 3 game such a large part of this article? It was all added by only one user (see edit history), and the user removed several other things, but because it has been so long since the last edit I do not want to revert without a second opinion. Should this article be reverted to [[ http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Abus_Gun&oldid=112525338%7Cthe last version of the article not edited by User:DGG? -- Twipie I do not know why; it is a mystery to me. I do not know. —ÅñôñÿMôús Dîššíd3nt 07:14, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
The relevance of the Age of Empires 3 info is trivial. It should be abbreviated and appear later in the article, if at all N1cholson ( talk) 09:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Help desperately needed can't seem to master multiple references. Please help.
I am afraid the list of problems with this article are probably longer than the article itself. -- Filll 20:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Dear Filll, I mean no disrespect to you, but I was wondering what you meant when you stated that my article Abus Gun was hard to read. I do not find this myself, and no-one has commented on it other than you. I believe I DID state alot about the weapon. I talked about when it was used (napoleonic era), how it preceded more common and more recognisable forms of artillery (you said the article stated that it was the first), the versatility of the weapon, even the weight of its projectiles. And about the put down about the game, Age of Empires is famed for it's historical background to its campaigns in-game, and its history section is known to be accurate. (have you even played the game?) I was just wonderingabout these things, and was hoping you could explain yourself further. Yours truly, Anonymous Dissident
I play Age of Empires 3 too, and I came here hoping to find some new information on this interesting artillery piece, but almost all info is taken from either the ingame info or designers' Q&A from the AoE3 homepage. I think for this article to have any right to exist we'll need information from other sources.
I actually advocate removing this article until a better source has been found. About 50% of this article is inaccurate or downright nonsense, all based upon a game. 137.224.222.27 17:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I am interested, and if you hafve ideas for improvement let me know, or do it yourself. I am not the only capable wikipedian here. If you do have the resources the complete and/or fix this article (which I feel isnt really broken anyway) then please contribute instead of pointing fingers and waiting for others to do something.

It needs to be clarified that this was a real-world weapon, not just one in a game. almost all AofE weapons are close simulations of actual weapons, which is one of the reason the games can come so close to real history. The sources will not be on line. I'll see what I can do, but it will take a while. DGG 05:40, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm interested to see if anyone can find something better than the one online source; I've read several military encyclopedias and I didn't find anything on this weapon. It might be a so-called ultra-light cannon or a swivelcannon of the type that was commonly fixed upon ships, wagons or fortifications in the Renaissance. I asked the lead designer of AoE3 what it was, and he replied it was a sort of giant musket that fired a musket ball about 5 times the regular weight. No info on time period, tactics in the field or anything else.-- 137.224.222.27 20:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Where I need help, is could someone please check the game guide for the page reference to the gun, and perhaps copy the paragraph here. An excerpt such as this is fair use. DGG 20:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
The game merely mentions it's history in the ottoman army, and then its usage in the game. It says nothing more on the design of the weapon that we have not already got. Unfortunately I cannot find the game, but if someone else could... thanks anyway for your help. Anonymous Dissident 22:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Bazookas are essentially rocket-launchers. It is not clear to me why the abus gun is described as a type of bazooka in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CLSwiki ( talk • contribs) 06:02, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Abus gun. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.
Cheers.— cyberbot II Talk to my owner:Online 13:13, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
