| ==RE: Far Cry==
| |
| Your previous statement - "features a Car-15 buttstock, fixed carry handle and can fire in both semi-auto and full-auto meaning it is an M4A1 because M4s have safe/semi/burst trigger packs."
| |
| * Mentioning the 'Car-15' stock is at best a bit redundant and at worst inaccurate (M4s generally use the 'M4' 6-position stock, CAR-15-era carbines use the older 2/4-position Fiberlite stock (or even the coated aluminum stock, depending on how old they are). Granted the early run of M4/M4A1s had Fiberlite stocks but again, this is not common. That said, M727s use the Fiberlite stock of course, and that matches the weapon in the game so if that's what you were meaning to point out, you'd be right, and so my bad there.
| |
| * 'Fixed carry handle' is kind of a redundant mention since carry handles on practically every carbine prior to the Model 920/921s are fixed.
| |
| * Saying it is an 'M4A1' right after saying it's a M727 is contradictory, especially with the fixed carry handle and full auto remarks - The carry handle remark is absolutely contradictory to the M4A1 remark while the full auto remark is misleading as the M4A1 is not the only Colt AR carbine with a fullauto trigger group.

| All-told the phrasing of most of this was both not entirely correct and potentially misleading/confusing. When it comes to noting technical details on the guns themselves, need to be accurate and not contradictory. When in doubt, maybe sometimes better to not add stuff. A bit of advice I should've told myself a time or two, heh.<BR>
| |
| BTW, the Modern Warfare remark I removed because I don't feel it necessary to mention a different game - Though in the case of that one, I might have gone overboard on it, as it's also a legitimate mention of credit to this game itself, so.. eh. Put that back in if you like, I'm good on that part either way, ultimately.<BR>
| |
| Anyway, hope this explains things a bit. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 13:48, 1 June 2020 (EDT)
