Direct Impingement vs Internal Piston
The article incorrectly refers to the mechanism for the M16 platform as "direct impingement" multiple times, but does also call out this general misconception in one section. Is there any opposition to fixing the incorrect terminology? The operating mechanism is more correctly called "internal piston." Jasavina (talk) 18:46, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Well if no one has any objections I'm going to start fixing the incorrect descriptions. Jasavina (talk) 04:48, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Citation Convention Question, Can't Find Answer
I just removed a repetitive citation from a bullet point list, since it's all the same source and left the one at the end of the sentence introducing the bullet points. This seems a lot cleaner, but I can't find a wiki style guide saying how to deal with violet point citations. Anyone know what the convention is? Jasavina (talk) 22:36, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
STG seems to be given way too much importance in this article
The AK was developed as an SMG and so the STG had relatively minor influence on it, especially given their wildly different mechanics and the M-16 was introduced in the 60's after pretty much everyone else had come up with an assault rifle, so it was a couple of generations removed from the STG being the shiniest AR on the block. Given that the STG wasn't nearly as influential on the AKM or the M16 as it was on say the G3, I really struggle to see why half the article comparing the two is about it.
