FWIW (not a lot), I like SB2296's way better. It's a clear way to spell out the specifications of all the variants. It's not necessary for guns that don't have so many variations, but for something like the G3, FAL, or AR-15, I think it's definitely helpful for understanding/identification.

This website is not a gun encyclopedia, the point of specifications section is to be a brief snapshot of the weapon's characteristics. Also like others have said SB2296's format is too intrusive/distracting....and might I add unnecessary.

I would change it, AdAstra, though I guess talking first is a good idea.

And yes, this is not a gun encyclopedia. For us, the only information that matters is the VISUAL information, because that's what allows us to identify those weapons in a movie or TV show. Anything else is probably not relevant.

so didn't we decide that we didn't like the cell arrangement for the weapon specifications?

If so why is Stan the Man changeing the FN MAG page?

I don't think Stan is on the forum.
