[edit] Replied

I'm sorry, I was just bored, and sometimes I really don't agree with the Gun Politics have been going. I'm extremely educated in firearms and can help with that subject. Just tell me if there is any articles I can write on firearms, that have not been already written.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.18.252 (talk)

[edit] WTF?

What in WP:GUNS#Target versions made you merge Px4 storm and px4 storm subcompact? I didn't see anything that suggested this was a good idea. This was neither a version (expert, or training) or a accurized model, but a completely different gun. If these articles should be together then so should all of the Glock models (ie G17, G18, G26). Finally, you did not do a very good job of merging, none of the info on the subcompact page made it over......especially the references. Viperix 02:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

First of all, the Px4 subcompact is not a "completely different gun", it's just a small version of the base Px4, which means that it should be in the same article. Technically, the Glock models should be merged, but that would result in a 100kb long article. And finally, I'll go back and add the references to the Px4 article. — DanMP5 04:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I disagree, the barrel system is different. The size is different. Beretta had to re-design this gun, and put it through its own developement process, they didn't just make the grip and barrel shorter. My point is that Its not a "version" as the place referenced above defines a version. If they meant for every weapon based off another to be a part of the same, then the carbines would all have to be merged into their parent articles, and so on....Viperix 10:54, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Briefly I will say that the policy referenced above does not just apply to actual target versions. It can apply to compact, or long-barrel versions, for example. In this case I would say that since they bear the same name they belong in the same article. Even though they did some redesign work, Beretta meant for it to be considered a compact variant of the Storm, as evidenced by the name.--LWF 14:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Viperix, By your definition of what should have it's own article all of the SIG P226 or HK USP variants which have slight design changes would have to have their own articles, and that just makes no sense.

LWF, I think WP:GUNS#Target versions needs to be expanded and renamed to something like WP:GUNS#Variants. — DanMP5 20:21, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I've been wondering about that myself. I'll take that to the project.--LWF 20:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Well I guess I just disagree, They are different guns. You wouldn't say "that guy has two of the same gun" if "that guy" had a PX4 and a PX4 subcompact. While at the same time if a person had two HK USP variants you would say "that guy has two HK USP's" My definition reflects what the reference states, you two seem to be reading into it and makeing your own rules about it. Yes it is a compact version of the storm, just like the Cx4 is a Carbine version of the storm. Viperix 02:38, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I should probably clarify, I wrote that particular reference, and it was meant to apply to different variants of the same gun. At the time I had encountered a few "target" and "expert" version articles, and decided to write the policy. In retrospect I should have written it to be less ambiguous on subjects like this one. Hence the reason I have asked the project if it should be written to be less ambiguous when it comes to articles like the one in question. I will say that I had compact versions in mind when I wrote it, but since I didn't put it in at the time I am seeking a consensus at the project talk page before I make any change. Feel free to weigh in on the discussion at WT:GUNS#"Target" versions.--LWF 04:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MP-25 owner?

Hi, you indicate that you own an MP-25 pistol. Would you have the original manual for it? That should contain some basic specifications on the pistol, which we are lacking in the article. Thanks. Koalorka (talk) 00:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the guy I bought my MP-25 from had lost the manual, so no, I don't have a manual. — DanMP5 02:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
