The page contains a number of uses of the word "fuzes". Shouldn't it be "fuses"? Maybe the English dialect of whoever entered the text allows the former spelling, but since the topic is US-related, shouldn't the US spelling apply? I reali(z/s)e that as a Canadian, it is possible that the spelling with the "z" is correct but I doubt it.

"Fuse" is not spelt as "Fuze" in any English dialect I know of. --80.229.225.137 18:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Well it is spelled "fuze" in American English. See here http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=fuze -- Thatguy96 19:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

That site is american of course, but!: 'fuze' is distinct in that it refers to an explosive triggering device, not an electrical component. I doubt different spellings are relevant here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.24.134.243 (talk) 13:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Found this as well... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_%28explosives%29#Fuze Up to you to decide the correct/relevant spelling now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.24.134.243 (talk) 16:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

The picture at the top of the article is an AH-1G which fired Mk40 2.75-inch FFAR rockets from the M200 19-shot rocket pod or launcher (2 shown). --Born2flie 19:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

It also says "missiles," a better picture should be located. -- Thatguy96 20:56, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
