Actually for anyone who is wondering what guns were used in the show as a general point, NOT organizing by firearms class is a NIGHTMARE. You can't FIND the gun you're looking for without scrolling through tons and tons of pages, and most viewers just give up. Also the obvious duplication of the firearms throughout the seasons makes the page way longer than it has to be. But ridiculously long pages seems to be a point of contention all on it's own.
But if you're curious what firearm was in a specific episode that you just saw on television, then the seasonal thing makes sense. Say, you just saw an episode of CSI: Peoria (why not, they're making spinoffs every few years), and you saw a gang of bank robbers dressed in ballerina tutus and they had a weird submachine gun. Well you know what season it is, or can find out quickly through sites like IMDB or TV.com. Now that you know the season and episode, you can track down the episode and find the gun.
The two styles appeal to different viewers with different needs. However, if you're ONE or the OTHER, you're completely screwed if the page is in the OTHER style.....
