It is easier to alphabetize weapon entries within a single work of fiction with multiple appropriate weapon class sections.
But seriously, MPM, who on Earth here has been complaining about the designations of rifles in entries on this site? By no means are we actually distributing or using firearms against the wrong people in real life by making entries on this website; we are simply cataloguing them in works of FICTION. If they have a problem with so many "evil assault rifles" in a movie, they should take it up with the movie's creators, not us.

That's too many categories. In some pages if you were doing it that way you would have maybe one rifle in each rifle category. Also I don't alphabetize, I start with what the main characters use and then whats used the most after that.

What about a Mini-14? It looks pretty much like an M1 carbine. But has the same firepower as an AR.
MPM quote
"In the civilian world of semi auto only weapons, there is NO difference between a Ruger mini 14 rifle in a plain wooden stock and an AR15 in evil black tactical furniture when it comes to firepower."
That's the point MPM was trying to make.
