You reverted my edits calling the information "dubious." The information I added is near common-knowledge among the NFA crowd. I own several suppressors and am 100% certain of the veracity of my statements. I am not aware of any information that I removed from that article - you said I "removed good information" but I actually ADDED a heading and filled it in. Please explain.

While it is certainly true that the '06 was still under development in 1905 when Browning developed the .45 ACP, the .30-'03 had exactly the same dimentions in the area of the cartridge we're interested in, and in fact the very slight shorter '06 could even be fired in '03 weapons. Are you saying these dimentions in Browning's pistol cartridge are a total coincidence? The man was not a fool and knew he was selling to the Army. Of course it was a selling point that the head was exactly the same. I've fired many a reloaded .45 made by cutting off old neck-damaged '.06 brass. They work just fine.

Thanks for the advice. Got a question for you: At 6.5 mm Grendel#External ballistics I put the figures into table form, does it make sense?

You've been warned multiple times to cease disruptive editing. Continue to revert on the Walther P22 article, and you'll be blocked for disruptive editing. I don't like it is not a valid reason to remove good content that is violating no policies, and it's clearly disruptive. You have issues with me; that's fine. But just like the VT issue, you are the only one fighting your opinion. Wikipedia is not a battleground. Seriously, you're violating so many of our rules and guidelines, you really ought to take a break from editing because your negative contributions are by now outweighing your positive ones.

My post didn't costitute a buying guide at all I just stated FACTS and I never made any biased comparison with any cartridge in my edit. I stated that the rifle is cheap to buy across North America and it is appreciated the the reliability of the action period. My comments about the advice on checking the conditions of the rifle are equivalent to several articles on guns on Wikipedia that warn people about not mismatching cartridge type (for example the 8 mm Mauser page), check the conditions of old military surplus rifles before to shoot etc... Go to the link pertaining the Colt 1911 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_1911 and you will see that there are sections that discuss the price of some models and how the pistol appreciated is appreciated for its handling and superior stopping power. So if you consider my edit on the Mosin Nagant "fanboy" parlance even the page ont he 1911 it is.

While it is true that no explicit standards for cartridge case thickness (or even composition) exist, there are implicit requirements based on operating pressure, feasibility of reloading, desire to maximize available muzzle energy, and durability. My change in particular was with regards to the claim made by the prior editor (an IP address) that military brass is thinner than commercial--this is provably not true, and I did provide a source (Accurate Powder's online loading info) stating that The military cases may be substantially heavier than the commercial products, and loads using military brass should be reduced at least 10%. However the use of the phrase "may be substantially" is ambiguous; it may mean "always but sometimes substantially", as I was reading it, or it may mean "sometimes and sometimes substantially". The section on .308 Winchester is differently worded, but also ambiguous: When using military cases, the handloader must exercise caution because many of these are much heavier than commercial brass. The mantra that 5.56mm and 7.62mm military brass has a lower starting load than commercial brass is widely published, but is probably always coached in non-absolute terms. Of course, this is all made harder by the fact that the "5.56x45mm" or "5.56mm NATO" cartridge doesn't actually exist; the specifications are always in terms of things like "M193 Ball" or "SS109", which are different cartridges, with different chamber dimensions. Now if only ATK would list the average mass of their commercial .223 (they do for their military 5.56mm), I could provide a sourced, concrete example of cartridge differences... scot ( talk) 19:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

By blindly reverting my edit you broke the consistency (which you then partially corrected with an armor spelling, but not the defense spelling) and inadvertently removed unrelated to your reason for reverting changes of adding a fact check on an unsourced and unverified statement as well as a redirect page by-pass. 76.22.0.33 ( talk) 20:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Your edit to the caption under the F-15 image makes sense to me, although I am hardly an expert of any kind on that a/c or its airframe. Therefore, please don't think the following is not in good faith. The current caption says "An F-15 with inlets in different positions.". They're not really, unless the name of that flap looking thingy on the port intake is called an "inlet". Is the caption trying to say that my flap looking thingy on the port intake is in a different position to that on the starboard intake. Obviously true, but it the flap thingy is not called an "inlet", the caption needs to be amended. Cheers. Kaiwhakahaere ( talk) 21:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi there , I see yuou recently updated the Gardner gun article so maybe you can help here.. I found a great photo of Royal Navy marines (I think) with a 5-barrel rifle-calibre gun of some sort, in the 1890s I think. I've uploaded it to Commons here : Image:5BarrelGardnerGunRoyalNavy.jpg . At first I thought it was a Gardner gun, but I don't see the large housing at the breech end which I see on pictures of other Gardner guns. What is visible of the breech end looks more like the similar Nordenfelt gun here : Image:5-BarrelNordenfeltRifleCalibreGunNavalCarriage.jpg , the rest of the gun looks like a Gardner gun.

I'm not sure I agree with your logic. First, by the logic you gave, a pump action and a lever action would be the same thing (and in fact, the typical gas operated rifle is just a pump rifle--had Browning been working on pump actions rather than lever actions in the 1880s, he'd have built it that way). In addition, how would you describe Browning's original prototype? It was basically a .44 lever action rifle that used the muzzle blast impinging on a plate to actuate the lever. Is that short stroke or long stroke? There is no cylinder or piston at all in that case, so the definition breaks down. I'm not sure in the M1895 if there is a cylinder/piston or not, it may just be a hole and a plate, so again, you get a breakdown in the short stroke/long stroke definition. Had it been any other firearm, I'd just classify it as an oddity and leave it out, but since it was the first practical gas operated mechanism patented, I think it's important enough to merit a significant description. scot ( talk) 21:26, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

D.E. Watters? I hope so, because you sir were a very big part in sparking my interest in firearms and military tactics/history. How you ask? The NATO 3.5 mod for Tom Clancey's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear: Urban Operations.
I found and downloaded it when I was 13 years old, and Before I could bring myself to play even a single mission with any of the new gear, I literally read through every single weapon history/description that you wrote. I think I was up till 4 am doing just that, and had to wake up for school 3 hours later! I didn't even play a mission till after school the next day, and all I could think about during class was trying every single one of those guns out in every imaginable way on all the maps in the game. It was the first step on a grand adventure of discovering an entirely new genre of video game, and even more, a now multi billion dollar industry, and with it, a history of fascinating individuals, engineering marvels, incredible bravery solidarity and conviction, and a hobby with skills I will never stop enjoying and mastering. Hell, without you, I might not know even to this day that my 4th Great Grandfather is the legendary John Moses Browning. What a thought huh?

Go to the link pertaining the Colt 1911 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_1911 and you will see that there are sections that discuss the price of some models and how the pistol appreciated is appreciated for its handling and superior stopping power. So if you consider my edit on the Mosin Nagant "fanboy" parlance even the page ont he 1911 it is. So do not elevate yourself to the role of Wikicop with the wrong person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.62.211 ( talk) 02:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC) User saturno_v
However I did remove the last portion of my edit that mention the fact that the Mosin-Nagant is probably the cheapest full power centerfire cartridge rifle to be found probably even cheaper than a 22 Long Rifle carbine. Maybe that little section went over the top. Just that. user Saturno_v —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.62.211 ( talk) 02:47, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

While it is true that no explicit standards for cartridge case thickness (or even composition) exist, there are implicit requirements based on operating pressure, feasibility of reloading, desire to maximize available muzzle energy, and durability. My change in particular was with regards to the claim made by the prior editor (an IP address) that military brass is thinner than commercial--this is provably not true, and I did provide a source (Accurate Powder's online loading info) stating that The military cases may be substantially heavier than the commercial products, and loads using military brass should be reduced at least 10%. However the use of the phrase "may be substantially" is ambiguous; it may mean "always but sometimes substantially", as I was reading it, or it may mean "sometimes and sometimes substantially". The section on .308 Winchester is differently worded, but also ambiguous: When using military cases, the handloader must exercise caution because many of these are much heavier than commercial brass. The mantra that 5.56mm and 7.62mm military brass has a lower starting load than commercial brass is widely published, but is probably always coached in non-absolute terms. Of course, this is all made harder by the fact that the "5.56x45mm" or "5.56mm NATO" cartridge doesn't actually exist; the specifications are always in terms of things like "M193 Ball" or "SS109", which are different cartridges, with different chamber dimensions. Now if only ATK would list the average mass of their commercial .223 (they do for their military 5.56mm), I could provide a sourced, concrete example of cartridge differences... scot ( talk) 19:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Please check to see what was changed before making blind reverts. Without checking to see what had been changed you made the false assumption that I had made some change in violation of wp:ENGVAR#Retaining_the_existing_variety when what I was actually doing was following wp:ENGVAR#Consistency_within_articles. By blindly reverting my edit you broke the consistency (which you then partially corrected with an armor spelling, but not the defense spelling) and inadvertently removed unrelated to your reason for reverting changes of adding a fact check on an unsourced and unverified statement as well as a redirect page by-pass. 76.22.0.33 ( talk) 20:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Your edit to the caption under the F-15 image makes sense to me, although I am hardly an expert of any kind on that a/c or its airframe. Therefore, please don't think the following is not in good faith. The current caption says "An F-15 with inlets in different positions.". They're not really, unless the name of that flap looking thingy on the port intake is called an "inlet". Is the caption trying to say that my flap looking thingy on the port intake is in a different position to that on the starboard intake. Obviously true, but it the flap thingy is not called an "inlet", the caption needs to be amended. Cheers. Kaiwhakahaere ( talk) 21:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi there , I see yuou recently updated the Gardner gun article so maybe you can help here.. I found a great photo of Royal Navy marines (I think) with a 5-barrel rifle-calibre gun of some sort, in the 1890s I think. I've uploaded it to Commons here : Image:5BarrelGardnerGunRoyalNavy.jpg . At first I thought it was a Gardner gun, but I don't see the large housing at the breech end which I see on pictures of other Gardner guns. What is visible of the breech end looks more like the similar Nordenfelt gun here : Image:5-BarrelNordenfeltRifleCalibreGunNavalCarriage.jpg , the rest of the gun looks like a Gardner gun. Any thoughts ? Rcbutcher ( talk) 17:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey, please keep your edit summaries civil, refrain from characterizing the good-faith edits of others as vandalism, and follow consensus even though you may not agree with it.

This [8] appears to be an invalid use of "rvv"; nor did it help you save typing time. Just use "rv" for such cases.

That was a little far to go boldly, without asking anyone beforehand or discussing.
I'm going to roll those back later today, if you haven't. If you want to propose mergers or redirects, that's fine. Feel free to do that and see what people's feedback is. But that was too much to just unilaterally do.

Merely an edit conflict, watch your over-reaction, this is becoming symptomatic and has been under review before. FWiW Bzuk ( talk) 13:27, 20 June 2008 (UTC).
Actually, both of you are right on the edge, but outside the technical definition of 3RR (three reverts within 24 hr period). I just went back and checked, and neither of you has technically violated that for any 24 hr period.
Both of you are edit warring, however. I am going to leave this message on both user talk pages. Please stop. There has been edit warring on both sides, and I am not going to ascribe blame for it, but as clear edit warring outside the 3RR definition is still blockable both of you need to stop and take it to the talk page.

I'm not sure I agree with your logic. First, by the logic you gave, a pump action and a lever action would be the same thing (and in fact, the typical gas operated rifle is just a pump rifle--had Browning been working on pump actions rather than lever actions in the 1880s, he'd have built it that way). In addition, how would you describe Browning's original prototype? It was basically a .44 lever action rifle that used the muzzle blast impinging on a plate to actuate the lever. Is that short stroke or long stroke? There is no cylinder or piston at all in that case, so the definition breaks down. I'm not sure in the M1895 if there is a cylinder/piston or not, it may just be a hole and a plate, so again, you get a breakdown in the short stroke/long stroke definition. Had it been any other firearm, I'd just classify it as an oddity and leave it out, but since it was the first practical gas operated mechanism patented, I think it's important enough to merit a significant description. scot ( talk) 21:26, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
I would appreciate your input on the new proposal to merge the C8 page with the C7 page ( Discuss).

D.E. Watters? I hope so, because you sir were a very big part in sparking my interest in firearms and military tactics/history. How you ask? The NATO 3.5 mod for Tom Clancey's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear: Urban Operations.
I found and downloaded it when I was 13 years old, and Before I could bring myself to play even a single mission with any of the new gear, I literally read through every single weapon history/description that you wrote. I think I was up till 4 am doing just that, and had to wake up for school 3 hours later! I didn't even play a mission till after school the next day, and all I could think about during class was trying every single one of those guns out in every imaginable way on all the maps in the game. It was the first step on a grand adventure of discovering an entirely new genre of video game, and even more, a now multi billion dollar industry, and with it, a history of fascinating individuals, engineering marvels, incredible bravery solidarity and conviction, and a hobby with skills I will never stop enjoying and mastering. Hell, without you, I might not know even to this day that my 4th Great Grandfather is the legendary John Moses Browning. What a thought huh? Thanks for your work, not only in that old gem I'll STILL play and love, (fuck Call of Duty) and recommend to any old Rainbow Six nut I find, but also in the many Wikipedia articles and other firearm related articles and posts you've written across the internet I'm sure I've already read novellas worth of. an A list celebrity in my book, ^_^ -Russ Thompson zephyr89@gmail.com Zephyr89 ( talk) 02:16, 15 November 2011 (UTC) |

You appear to be inactive, but just in case you occasionally see this page I'm here to ask your help. I'm cleaning up Walther PP and traced some unsourced text to an edit by you back in 2006: [10]. The text in question is this:
Do you have any memory of where you got that information? Someone tagged it as "citation needed" and if possible it'd be better to keep it rather than delete it as unverifiable. If you come across this note after it's already been deleted no worries - you can add it back with a citation at any time. Rezin ( talk) 02:29, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
