I am a member of the Firearms WikiProject, a project devoted to the improvement of firearms and ammunition coverage on Wikipedia. I understand that a personal firearm is, at the same time, a Weapon, Tool, Machine, and a Work of Art.

Hello all. A little bit about myself: I love planes with a passion, and I really enjoy rifle and handgun shooting.

[edit] My shooting

I've fired the M1, a Springfield rifle, the Desert Eagle, a Springfield Armory M6 Scout, a Ruger MK II, a Remington 870, a Browning Citori, several cheapo .22 rifles, a Browning Buck Mark, and probably some others that I don't remember, too. I've also fired a little bit of black-powder: two kit built, one a British-styled musket, the other an American-style rifle, and one rifle of roughly 1850's vintage, American-built, but with features more common in German-built arms; most specifically, a highly curved buttplate that sort of hooks onto the shoulder, so to speak. There was also a carbine, of which I know little.

[edit] Firearm images

Placed this sporterized SKS carbine on SKS, but forgot to log-in.

An excellent P226 Navy, took this picture and put it in SIG P226.

An early Desert Eagle in .357 Magnum. Placed it in Desert Eagle.

An M6 Scout in .22 LR and .410 bore. Taken by myself and placed in Springfield Armory M6 Scout.

A Ruger Mini-14. Taken by myself, and added to that article.

The partially open bolt of the same Mini-14.

[edit] WikiProject Firearms

As mentioned above, I am a member of the WikiProject Firearms, but what is not mentioned is that I am the coordinator of the project. That came about because I got curious, and noticed that the Weaponry Task Force of the Military History WikiProject did not cover civilian firearms. This made me wonder who covered them. I discovered that there was no project dedicated to covering the important subject of firearms. So I created the project myself. If you're reading this and are interested in firearms, just go here, and add your name.
