This is the same wiki that uses one screenshot of a wireframe render of an M1A2 labelled "M1A2" to call every Abrams in every modern CoD an M1A2 even though the in-game models are all A1s, right? You'd think if he were such a perfectionist he wouldn't hang around somewhere that frequently goes that far out of its way to be wrong.
(Also I dig
this labelled "a close-up of Rhino 2," that's a really useful image that adds a lot to the article)
Regardless, I sense a user trying to act like he doesn't come here because he's too wise for us rather than because he's a moron who got himself banned. Oh no, we're full of "errors" he can't be bothered to list, man the lifeboats.
Oh, also:

("I hate people who say a G11 is a pistol.") Perhaps this person would like to explain exactly what the H&K NBW is then.
|
The HK NBW was a machine pistol "PDW" which never got past the mockup stage; in other words, a gun by that name, strictly speaking, never existed at all. It isn't a G11, and didn't even fire the same round (using a shorter 4.73x25mm instead of 4.73x33mm). This is as ridiculous as claiming the MP5 proves the G3 is an SMG because they used similar actions.
He also seems to think there is no single gun called the G11, which is odd since the LMG11 and NBW / G11 PDW were never even produced (no proof a firing version of either was ever made), while legend has it that the G11 was even briefly issued.

Guess what? There's no such gun as the 'Glock 9mm'.

Someone get Glock on the phone and tell them all those 9mm pistols they sold are a lie. If you take it in context (a probably made-up story that someone thought Glocks were made by Colt) it doesn't matter which version he's talking about anyway.

Maybe they think that because the Nambu isn't a gun, it's the name of a person.
|
He does this kind of stupid hair-splitting a lot. Nevermind that it
is called the Nambu pistol (Nambu Type A, Nambu Type B and Nambu Type 14 being the subvariants). I suppose you could argue that "Nambu" doesn't specify a calibre since the A and B models fired a different round, but since the Type 100
does fire 8x22mm Nambu that's really pushing it. Apparently if you use a shorthand name of something and rely on people working out what you mean from context it means you don't know what you're talking about.
In fact, earlier he says

Secondly, assuming that you don't want to call every gun by its full name, "Intervention" is a perfectly legitimate name (or nickname) for the M200. Why this user thought calling it an Intervention was a huge offence is beyond me.
|
Yeah, calling the M200 an "Intervention" is an acceptable shorthand, but calling an M1903 a Springfield or a Type 14 a Nambu is beyond the pale, even in situations where context makes it clear what you're talking about. I see he practises the classic "saying anything to contradict people regardless of whether or not it's consistent" method of debating. Nevermind that it's as vague as "Nambu" since "Cheytac Intervention" describes a whole series of rifles, not just one.

Just a teensy fault here. It's actually a myth that the Stg 44 was ever designated 'MP-44'.
|
No it isn't, it was designated MP44 for a brief time before Hitler re-designated it as StG-44.
Quote:
Actually, Transformational Defense Industries (TDI) changed their name to KRISS USA some time ago. Therefore, the Vector's actual name is the Kriss Super V. TDI are nonexistent.
|
While TDI did change their name to ALLCAPS ARMS a while ago, the gun is still called the Vector. "Kriss Super V" is the name of the action. It's now called the KRISS USA Vector if you feel like using their mall ninja name. His argument would make it the KRISS USA Kriss Super V, which is stupid.
Also holy christ looking at that guy's user page is like having a siezure.

Well, if it does it hasn't got around to doing it yet, though as before you do have to have a reasonably high tolerance for three-year-old internet memes. Also, now features routine acts of entirely deserved cruelty to Claptrap, including shooting a battleship cannon at him.
