Time for a glossary?

[Nyles]

I think that's actually a really good idea.

[MoviePropMaster2008]

the problem is "Where would it go?" Until Bunni creates another category that is listed on the MAIN PAGE along with the other major categories, it will be an awkward fit in any of the other major subsections.

I suggest we have a 'General Information' subcategory. We can put tributes / over extensive trivia pages(!) / gun information pages (like my history of M16s page which is just floating on nothing right now) / Glossary items, etc.

Or we can call it something else other than "general information" (any ideas for a one word category title?)

At any rate, we still need the Webmaster to determine if it is warranted and set up the main page to list it. For that we need Bunni's effort and approval.

It does seem good for the site to have a glossary for those who don't know what some firearms terms are.

Sounds good to me - just added it. If you come up with a name you'd prefer over General Information let me know and I'll change it.

Thank you very much. I'm sure it'll be an excellent tool towards dispelling ignorance about firearms on this wiki. Here's another three articles I'm sure could be included one day there:

Types of Firearm firing mechanisms (bolt action, lever action, etc.)
Types of Firearm malfunctions (failure to eject, failure to feed, etc.)
Types of Firearms licenses required for armourers and their associates:

Just took at look at it. Looks great but it needs more articles. Just one on shotguns.

[Zulu Two Six]

can someone please do one on revolvers.
they just puzzle me

Also when listing types of firearms and even malfunction, I think picking a pic of a gun for that specific type of firing mechanism. Bolt action - 1903, Lever action - Winchester or the 1887, semi auto, etc.

Also remember to post about what is a clip and what is a mag and that the Garand and bolt action rifles do have a magazine, but point out that they are internal.
