Terms etc

I'd say it's a "series" because the MCX name covers multiple weapons of different classifications (carbine, SBR, assault rifle and the one that meets the US legal definition of a pistol). Also strictly "carbine rifle" isn't incorrect unless you use the definition of rifle that doesn't fit in context (full length version of a carbine), which is less common these days since a lot of modern carbines don't have a companion "rifle" anyway: so in the strictest sense, if you use that definition you can't call the MCX a carbine either. The more general definition does work since it's possible to have a carbine pistol (eg Mauser C96 with stock or Artillery Luger). Herr Gruber (talk) 22:16, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

I concede on the "series" argument. What about "carbine-length rifle"? If not, I'm fine with "carbine rifle". RadiculousJ (talk) 22:32, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

@KylieTastic: Sorry. Left my account open in college. RadiculousJ (talk) 14:25, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Recommend you don't do that. Benefit of the doubt applies this time, but if something like that happens again, you're liable to be blocked as a compromised account. Insert your choice of long diatribe on the importance of cyber-security here. Yunshui ^雲_水 14:32, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

WZ-523

If you're going to move WZ523 to WZ-523, I suggest you also do the same for WZ551 to WZ-551 for consistency's sake. Thanks, --Katangais (talk) 07:03, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Your proposal to merge P227 makes no sense

The P227 is a .45 ACP caliber handgun. There are NO .45 ACP caliber handguns in P226. Your suggestion is improper. Digitallymade (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

@Digitallymade: To be honest, I'd forgotten all about that, and agree that the P227 requires a separate article. I'll remove the proposal. RadiculousJ (talk) 13:12, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Bobby Cohn. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:44, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

In regard to the comment you left in the RM: you may or may not be aware but that user is using their own name as their username on the project. In the future, it is best to avoid commenting on other users' names and stick to policy and guideline based arguements or providing sources and analysis in discussions. If you truly believe an editor's name to be disruptive and in violation of our username policy, then there are proper procedures to address it. Please avoid anything that may be construed as a personal attack in the future. Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:49, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
