I found this article blank. I have changed it back to the version before.

I've tagged the page with cleanup as there is some repitition and it lacks narrative coherence. Anurag Garg 15:01, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to muskets as non-rifled bears examination; recall, the .58 Springfield of the U.S. Civil War was a rifled musket... --squadfifteen, 23/11/05

I deleted the "WW1 nightmare" paragraph as too POV and not relevant to rifles. The effect of massed rifles was seen in the US Civil War, besides. I also deleted the reference to 155 howitzers as irrelevant. --squadfifteen, 23/11/05

Should the XM8 be listed as a type of rifle when it's a model of several different types?

No, it shouldn't - I removed it. It was completely out of place. Joffeloff 13:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Made a few minor (anon) edits correcting factual errors. --Daler 01:46, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
