Proper name

Isn't this gun technically called the "M1895 Colt-Browning Machine Gun"?

--Zackmann08 22:10, 27 January 2012 (CST)

Not according to the books I have. I have a feeling the names are flexible. However I think we should hold off changing the name. --Jcordell 02:31, 28 January 2012 (CST)

Good enough for me. :-) Thanx! --Zackmann08 02:38, 28 January 2012 (CST)

Furthermore, isn't "automatic machine gun" a redundancy? Spartan198 (talk) 18:50, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
