If these were manufactured for the US Navy, why the reference to the OSS? --Funkychinaman (talk) 07:24, 26 June 2019 (EDT)
- I'd agree that the page name should be changed (though I'm pretty sure that they were used/developed by the OSS). Honestly, I think it should be called the Sedgley Glove Gun/Pistol Glove, after the company that created them (as is the typical practice for single-manufacturer guns on this site). I don't think that that was its official designation, but then again, neither was "Panzerfaust", and it does a decent job of describing the device and who manufactured it. Thoughts?
