Revision as of 23:13, 16 July 2016

This page doesn't follow much of the typically recognized formatting or layout standards and is all over the place with numerous additional (and arguably extraneous) images and sections, including a section on 'Replicas' which I think is a tad outside our scope. I really think the page should really be condensed and refocused with most of that secondary material moved here, if not deleted. Wasn't there already another page for this gun, BTW?

You'd think there would be. I'm a bit surprised it took this long. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:04, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
