[edit] SASR

Hello, what's your source for the statistic that the Australian SAS achieved a 500:1 kill ratio in Vietnam and the claim that some of its training fatalities are actually secret combat deaths? --Nick Dowling 07:50, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

See the article on the Australian involvement in the Vietnam war for the SAS kill ratio, it'll have a citation there. As for the secret combat deaths, well thats common knowledge, can't really cite that. Thankyou.

No, the statistic isn't cited at Military history of Australia during the Vietnam War either (it does have a citation needed flag though). From memory, David Horner's book on the SAS states that deaths in training were just that and doesn't suggest otherwise. --Nick Dowling 07:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I found a book about the ANZAC involvement in the Vietnam war, by Richard Pelvin. He states that the SAS during their time in Vietnam had 492 confirmed kills for 2 KIA. Goldfishsoldier 02:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Cool. Could you please add citations where appropriate? (see: Wikipedia:Citing sources for citation styles you might want to use). Thanks, --Nick Dowling 10:41, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes.Goldfishsoldier 23:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boo

Hiya, I noticed you asked about my gaming expertise on Talk:Gun politics in the United Kingdom. I'm into most PC games. The only kinds of PC games I don't play really is flight sims, racing games and WWII FPSs. I've been known to break that last one quite a few times though if the game's really good. Why do you ask? Don't see how it's relevant to the UK's gun politics. Haridan 20:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah yes, I can't remember why I asked that. I'm into RTS' and RPG's myself. Goldfishsoldier 22:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] East Timor

Hello there. Thanks for your addition to East Timor. Do you have a reference though? I don't doubt that it is true, but you no doubt know that everything must be referenced in wikipedia. see WP:ATT. kind regards Merbabu 02:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hoplophobia

I noticed your sig in the discussion of Gun politics. One other user and I are having a disagreement about Hoplophobia and I think that the discussion would benefit from more people than just the two of us. Check the lengthy discussion page first, if you are up to getting involved. Thanks. —BozoTheScary 17:24, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Bozo, I'll have a look. Goldfishsoldier 00:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gun politics

Someone has raised issues with the URLs you added to support various points in the "Summary of positions" section back at the end of May, although to be honest I'm not 100% sure on what they're actually trying to say! The discussion is at Talk:Gun politics#Hacked External Links, if you want to contribute. Nick Cooper 16:06, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

See from your user page that you're off for a bit - good luck with that, mate. Nick Cooper 19:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] M-1 Carbine Revert War

The M1 carbine article is currently on lock down. An administrator has requested some discussion from memeber of the Firearms Wikiproject. Can you take a look? Sf46 (talk) 19:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A national rarity.

An Australian gun owner? Congratulations! We need more people to show the government that despite their attempts to eradicate guns from Australia we won't be dissuaded from our sport. --Simpsons fan 66 07:13, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree. My father was going to apply for a gun license, but was overwelmed by all the crap you have to go through. Which is exactly what the government is trying to do, dissuade all Australians from buying guns due to the difficulty of getting a licenese. But of course americans can get everthing from magnums, to uzis to sniper rifles. Oh well, we struggle on. What is Rudd planing to do? --Simpsons fan 66 23:44, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
