Correct Weapon nameing
I'm wondering who else here gets annoyed when someone calles a firearm by the wrong name because everyone calls it that?
You know the people who call an MP-40 a "Schmeisser", or the Armsel Striker and it's derivatives the DAO-12 or the China Lake Launcher the EX-41*. it makes people sound like idiots who don't know what they are talking about. *There really is an EX-41 pump action Grenade launcher but it's a single prototype from the 1990's and fires a custom 40mm High Velocity round |

I've spent quite a bit of my time so far changing weapon names from DAO-12 to it's real world name. The name DAO-12 is from Battlefield 2 and should remain there. It's a real pet peeve of mine as I wrote the varient list for the Armsel Striker Wikipedia page.
As for the China Lake Launcher I wrote the page and included a blurb about it being mistakenly called the EX-41. Hopefully random users read the page before writing up an EX-41 page. |
I always wondered why the DAO-12 was used to refer to the Striker/Street Sweepers myself? I don't know much about those guns, but I did get annoyed at how IMFDB used to assume any of those guns were "DAO-12 Street Sweepers". I fixed up the page myself, but still confess my ignorance on those weapons and telling them apart.
Regardless, I do not use the "DAO-12" nomenclature, and I discourage anyone else from doing so. |

As for the Cobray Street Sweeper a forum aquaintance of mine remarked that they have horrible triggers and are not that great a shotgun. |
speaking of shotguns, I wonder if the AA-12 is all that it's cracked up to be

Just looking at an AA-12 it seems rather bulky to me. As a friend who is a Class 3 Firearms instructor put it. You can do everything a Full-Auto Shotgun can with a semi-auto only better. Meaning that yes you can hose down an area with a FA shotgun, but a semiauto can get the lead out just as fast(usually hits more targets with less shots).
