Talk:Ohio Ordnance HCAR

Categorization

I'd subclassify this much closer to a SLR sorta like like that of semiauto only FALs, SKS, etc, but since we don't have a category of that sort, well.. I will say this, it can't be an 'assault rifle' due to the use of a 'full-size' rifle caliber, otherwise we'd classify the original BAR as such also. I'm sorry but it not being chambered for a full-size cartridge is a characteristic that it must have to be classified as such, end of. It also isn't a 'battle rifle' as the general use of the term here isn't just about caliber/characteristics but also to denote weapons that were standard- or mass-issue for battle forces, which this also is not.

That being said, I really think this should just be made a section on the BAR page, not given it's own page. StanTheMan (talk) 15:03, 28 January 2017 (EST)

Not that I consider it as an assault rifle either, but the thing is HCAR stands for Heavy Counter Assault Rifle, so I sort of ran with it at first. As for adding it as a section to the BAR page, I don't know; I felt that it was a new system based on the BAR and not really considered as an actual variant of it. But yeah, I don't have anything against the idea of merging them. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 18:50, 28 January 2017 (EST)
