[edit] Removed probable hoax paragraph about Quintessential Gun

Hi, there used to be a paragraph about a sentry gun designed by 2 Boston University students that shot plastic BBs. The paragraph, which was unsourced, claimed that one of the students then took the gun to US Mechatronics to have it made into a military, security, and recreational version. Yes, a "recreational" version. That has "HOAX" written all over it. This may have come from "THE ONION" or a parody newspaper. Anyway, I looked up US Mechatronics, and let's just say that they don't make sentry guns for the US military. Their products section lists "RoboCut is an integrated abrasive waterjet and diamond saw"; RoboEdge, which is "specialized profiling software that makes putting a bullnose or another profile on a counter top", and LiveCut, a " video alignment tool that is integrated into RoboCut as well as RoboEdge. It allows real-time alignment of cut paths on the material that will be cut using a video camera on the RoboJet." That's right, they make stone-cutting robotics tools for cutting diamonds.Nazamo (talk) 15:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Hi, i'm new here, just so you know. The parts about fictional guns on this article seemed to be a mess, so i tried cleaning it up a little. Just asking how much detail an article about fictional weaponry needs; some of these seem to have lots of info based on a movie.. I was also thinking about putting all that into a short list. --Combine 108 (talk) 02:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I am new to this article, but when I first saw the fiction section a few weeks ago, I wanted to do the same thing or more. Imagine if the article on Walther PPK listed every time it appeared in a novel or video game! --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 11:40, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
