Shortcuts

Welcome to the Firearms WikiProject, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Firearms.

(For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).

Goals

Improve articles on firearms, both civilian and military, with an emphasis on civilian firearms, as the WP:WEAPON already covers military arms.

To add the below infobox to firearm articles, along with the ammo infobox for ammo, and add the banner to firearms articles.

Scope

Firearms in general, manufacturers, organizations, legislation, and the like.

Guidelines

Naming

The names of firearm articles should start with the proper name of the manufacturer, followed by the firearm's name. Examples of this policy are Heckler & Koch MP7 instead of MP7 or Smith & Wesson Model 1006 instead of S&W Model 1006. Exceptions to this are firearms named with military designations such as M16 rifle or AK-47. See WP:WEAPON#Naming conventions for the guideline on naming military firearms.

Structure

Firearm articles should be structured largely along the following guidelines (consistent with guidelines contained in WP:MILGUN for military weapons):

History. A history of the firearm, including background events leading to the design and the evolution of the design.
Design and features. A description of the major points of the firearm, including details of the operating mechanism, how the firearm is maintained and operated by the user, and the cartridge(s) the firearm is chambered in.
Use. The intended/common uses of the firearm (ex: hunting, competetive shooting, defense, etc)
Variants. A list and description of all variants and close descendants of the firearm, plus production details when available.
Accessories. A list and description of accessories that are commonly associated with the firearm.
Cultural impact, if any. A general summary of the firearm's impact on culture, complying with the guidelines on popular culture.

Non-firearm articles associated with WikiProject Firearms should generally follow the structure guidelines that are already associated with the appropriate type of article, such as constitutional law articles, jurisprudence articles, chemistry articles, and other categories of articles that often overlap with WikiProject Firearms.

The goal of WikiProject Firearms for articles tagged with the project's banner is to improve the firearms related content, such as improving the accuracy of articles vs. misconceptions that often arise due to pop-culture fiction, movie physics, and similar non-factual beliefs. In general, WikiProject Firearms goals are to work on improving the quality of project-tagged articles without imposing WikiProject Firearms guidelines as mandates.

Pop culture

Template:Need-Consensus Avoid pop culture and trivia sections. In general they clutter articles, and contribute very little. Acceptable pop culture information should be highly notable, for example: the Walther PPK's use by James Bond. The pop cultural item that the firearm appeared in must represent the firearm realistically, and if named, should use the real name or a highly common nickname (e.g. Schmeisser for the MP40, or Burp gun for the PPSh-41). Speculation as to fictional appearances such as claims of a fictional gun being based on a real one should be removed in all cases as they are original research. Likewise, lists of fictional appearances should be removed as they violate WP:AVTRIV. Airsoft versions of real firearms are not notable to the firearm article. Citations are needed if the notability of an appearance is disputed; these citations should not be a list of appearances but should be a source actually showing increased fame or notoriety because of the appearances. See WP:MILMOS#POP for the guidelines on pop culture pertaining to military history, including military firearms. Pop culture should be treated in articles with coverage appropriate to its significance to the subject of the article; as per WP:UNDUE.

Criminal use

Template:Need-Consensus In order for a criminal use to be notable enough for inclusion in the article on the gun used, it must meet some criteria. For instance, legislation being passed as a result of the gun's usage (ex. ban on mail-order of firearms after use of the Carcano in JFK's assassination would qualify). Similarly, if its notoriety greatly increased (ex. the Intratec TEC-DC9 became infamous as a direct result of Columbine). As per WP:UNDUE, editors "should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject".

Variants

Variants of a model of a firearm such as folding/telescoping stock variants, target versions, variants chambered in a new caliber, compact/carbine variants generally should not receive their own article. Instead, use a section for the variant in the parent firearm's article or consolidate it into a table or the text. The exception to this is where significant amounts of design and/or history would be lost by merging. An example of this is the M4 Carbine. Despite the fact that the M4 Carbine is only a carbine version of the M16A2 and its internal components are completely interchangeable with those of the M16 rifle, the M4's development history is significantly different, qualifying it for its own article.

Citations

Cite as much information as possible. This way the articles will have more credibility. Extraordinary claims require citations from very reliable sources. If you don't want something you have added to be deleted, cite a reliable source, assuming the source supports your statement.

Open tasks

If you find anything that really needs to be on the list, just add it to the list. Be sure to say what you are adding in your edit summary, with wikilink to the article. When someone has completed the task, that person should cross out the article from the list, and if everyone agrees, it should be removed from the list two or three days after being crossed out (note: this doesn't include requests, once an article is created it should be removed completely or moved to one of the categories as needed).

When adding entries to the list, please do so in alphabetical order.

Ortgies 7.65mm Semi-Automatic Pistol, someone made this a few month's back but didn't categorise it, so it didn't fall into the Guns tree. I'll ping a forum I know and see if I can get a pic for it.

(Greetings from a non-member of the project) I added a couple of photos and fleshed the article out a bit today. I took the liberty of removing the "needs wikifying" and "nothing links here" tags, which notwithstanding discussion on the talk page always struck me as silly appended to a one-sentence stub, and the stub tag as well. I'm also adding links in related articles, so far mostly having to do with J.D. Salinger's story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish." Most of what I've added is from one source; I hope maybe others can diversify the sourcing and in particular add some info about the inventor, about whom I found a good bit of interest in discussion forums and such (useless as Wikipedia sources) but very little in "reputable" sources online. As to the title, the same basic design evidently was produced in 6.35, 7.65, and 9mm variants, so I'd be inclined to remove the "7.65mm" and go with just "Ortgies semi-automatic pistol."

Gun violence. Should the firearm homicide table in Gun Violence (tabulated by country) include columns of non-gun-related homicides? No discussion of general homicides is contained in the Gun violence article. Would including columnar data of non-gun-related homicides cause POV problems -- from spinning all homicides as somehow being related to guns, even in countries (e.g., the UK) where most homicides are not related to guns.

Collaboration and review

Assessment

Purpose

What is the purpose of article assessments?: The assessment system allows the Firearms WikiProject to monitor the quality of articles that fall under its purview, and to prioritize work on these articles. The ratings are also used by the Wikipedia 1.0 program to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content.
Are these ratings official?: No. These ratings are meant primarily for the internal use of the project to better prioritze work on the articles, and usually do not imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.

Assessing articles

Who can assess articles?: In general, anyone can add or change an article's rating. However, the "GA" and "FA" labels should only be used on articles that have been reviewed and are currently designated as good articles or featured articles, respectively. Drastic changes to an article's rating should typically be discussed on the article's talk page before making the change.

How do I assess an article?: Consult the quality scale below; once you have chosen the level that seems to be closest to the article, set the class parameter in the WPGUNS banner template to the level's name (omitting "Class" from the end). For example, to rate an article as "B-Class", use |class=B in the banner. Again, the "FA" and "GA" labels should not be added to articles unless they actually are currently designated as such.

Common concerns

Someone put a project banner template on an article, but it's not really within the WikiProject's scope. What should I do?: Due to the large volume of articles falling under the project, occasionally a tag is added to an article that the project does not cover. Feel free to remove the tag if the article truly is not within the scope of the project. If there is any doubt, post a note on the article's talk page and discuss it.
What if I don't agree with a rating?: Feel free to change it (within reason) if you think a different rating is justified; in the case of major disputes, the project as a whole can discuss the issue either on the project's talk page or on the talk page of the article in question and come to a consensus as to the best rating.
Aren't the ratings subjective?: Yes, they are somewhat subjective, but it's the best system we've been able to devise. If you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!
Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments on the talk page?: Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.

Templates

This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article.

Usage

A weapon infobox may be used to summarize information about a particular weapon or weapon system (such as a firearm, a sword, a grenade, an artillery piece, a torpedo, or a tank); cartridges and artillery shells should use {{Infobox firearm cartridge}} instead. The infobox should be added using the {{Infobox weapon}} template, as shown below.

Shortcuts

Welcome to the Firearms WikiProject, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Firearms.

(For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).

Goals

Improve articles on firearms, both civilian and military, with an emphasis on civilian firearms, as the WP:WEAPON already covers military arms.

To add the below infobox to firearm articles, along with the ammo infobox for ammo, and add the banner to firearms articles.

Scope

Firearms in general, manufacturers, organizations, legislation, and the like.

Guidelines

Naming

The names of firearm articles should start with the proper name of the manufacturer, followed by the firearm's name. Examples of this policy are Heckler & Koch MP7 instead of MP7 or Smith & Wesson Model 1006 instead of S&W Model 1006. Exceptions to this are firearms named with military designations such as M16 rifle or AK-47. See WP:WEAPON#Naming conventions for the guideline on naming military firearms.

Structure

Firearm articles should be structured largely along the following guidelines (consistent with guidelines contained in WP:MILGUN for military weapons):

History. A history of the firearm, including background events leading to the design and the evolution of the design.
Design and features. A description of the major points of the firearm, including details of the operating mechanism, how the firearm is maintained and operated by the user, and the cartridge(s) the firearm is chambered in.
Use. The intended/common uses of the firearm (ex: hunting, competetive shooting, defense, etc)
Variants. A list and description of all variants and close descendants of the firearm, plus production details when available.
Accessories. A list and description of accessories that are commonly associated with the firearm.
Cultural impact, if any. A general summary of the firearm's impact on culture, complying with the guidelines on popular culture.

Non-firearm articles associated with WikiProject Firearms should generally follow the structure guidelines that are already associated with the appropriate type of article, such as constitutional law articles, jurisprudence articles, chemistry articles, and other categories of articles that often overlap with WikiProject Firearms.

The goal of WikiProject Firearms for articles tagged with the project's banner is to improve the firearms related content, such as improving the accuracy of articles vs. misconceptions that often arise due to pop-culture fiction, movie physics, and similar non-factual beliefs. In general, WikiProject Firearms goals are to work on improving the quality of project-tagged articles without imposing WikiProject Firearms guidelines as mandates.

Pop culture

Template:Need-Consensus Avoid pop culture and trivia sections. In general they clutter articles, and contribute very little. Acceptable pop culture information should be highly notable, for example: the Walther PPK's use by James Bond. The pop cultural item that the firearm appeared in must represent the firearm realistically, and if named, should use the real name or a highly common nickname (e.g. Schmeisser for the MP40, or Burp gun for the PPSh-41). Speculation as to fictional appearances such as claims of a fictional gun being based on a real one should be removed in all cases as they are original research. Likewise, lists of fictional appearances should be removed as they violate WP:AVTRIV. Airsoft versions of real firearms are not notable to the firearm article. Citations are needed if the notability of an appearance is disputed; these citations should not be a list of appearances but should be a source actually showing increased fame or notoriety because of the appearances. See WP:MILMOS#POP for the guidelines on pop culture pertaining to military history, including military firearms. Pop culture should be treated in articles with coverage appropriate to its significance to the subject of the article; as per WP:UNDUE.

Criminal use

Template:Need-Consensus In order for a criminal use to be notable enough for inclusion in the article on the gun used, it must meet some criteria. For instance, legislation being passed as a result of the gun's usage (ex. ban on mail-order of firearms after use of the Carcano in JFK's assassination would qualify). Similarly, if its notoriety greatly increased (ex. the Intratec TEC-DC9 became infamous as a direct result of Columbine). As per WP:UNDUE, editors "should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject".

Variants

Variants of a model of a firearm such as folding/telescoping stock variants, target versions, variants chambered in a new caliber, compact/carbine variants generally should not receive their own article. Instead, use a section for the variant in the parent firearm's article or consolidate it into a table or the text. The exception to this is where significant amounts of design and/or history would be lost by merging. An example of this is the M4 Carbine. Despite the fact that the M4 Carbine is only a carbine version of the M16A2 and its internal components are completely interchangeable with those of the M16 rifle, the M4's development history is significantly different, qualifying it for its own article.

Citations

Cite as much information as possible. This way the articles will have more credibility. Extraordinary claims require citations from very reliable sources. If you don't want something you have added to be deleted, cite a reliable source, assuming the source supports your statement.

Open tasks

If you find anything that really needs to be on the list, just add it to the list. Be sure to say what you are adding in your edit summary, with wikilink to the article. When someone has completed the task, that person should cross out the article from the list, and if everyone agrees, it should be removed from the list two or three days after being crossed out (note: this doesn't include requests, once an article is created it should be removed completely or moved to one of the categories as needed).

When adding entries to the list, please do so in alphabetical order.

Ortgies 7.65mm Semi-Automatic Pistol, someone made this a few month's back but didn't categorise it, so it didn't fall into the Guns tree. I'll ping a forum I know and see if I can get a pic for it. In the meantime, what should the title be changed to? MatthewVanitas (talk) 06:46, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Greetings from a non-member of the project) I added a couple of photos and fleshed the article out a bit today. I took the liberty of removing the "needs wikifying" and "nothing links here" tags, which notwithstanding discussion on the talk page always struck me as silly appended to a one-sentence stub, and the stub tag as well. I'm also adding links in related articles, so far mostly having to do with J.D. Salinger's story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish." Most of what I've added is from one source; I hope maybe others can diversify the sourcing and in particular add some info about the inventor, about whom I found a good bit of interest in discussion forums and such (useless as Wikipedia sources) but very little in "reputable" sources online. As to the title, the same basic design evidently was produced in 6.35, 7.65, and 9mm variants, so I'd be inclined to remove the "7.65mm" and go with just "Ortgies semi-automatic pistol."

Gun violence. Should the firearm homicide table in Gun Violence (tabulated by country) include columns of non-gun-related homicides? No discussion of general homicides is contained in the Gun violence article. Would including columnar data of non-gun-related homicides cause POV problems -- from spinning all homicides as somehow being related to guns, even in countries (e.g., the UK) where most homicides are not related to guns.

Collaboration and review

Assessment

Purpose

What is the purpose of article assessments?: The assessment system allows the Firearms WikiProject to monitor the quality of articles that fall under its purview, and to prioritize work on these articles. The ratings are also used by the Wikipedia 1.0 program to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content.
Are these ratings official?: No. These ratings are meant primarily for the internal use of the project to better prioritze work on the articles, and usually do not imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.

Assessing articles

Who can assess articles?: In general, anyone can add or change an article's rating. However, the "GA" and "FA" labels should only be used on articles that have been reviewed and are currently designated as good articles or featured articles, respectively. Drastic changes to an article's rating should typically be discussed on the article's talk page before making the change.

How do I assess an article?: Consult the quality scale below; once you have chosen the level that seems to be closest to the article, set the class parameter in the WPGUNS banner template to the level's name (omitting "Class" from the end). For example, to rate an article as "B-Class", use |class=B in the banner. Again, the "FA" and "GA" labels should not be added to articles unless they actually are currently designated as such.

Common concerns

Someone put a project banner template on an article, but it's not really within the WikiProject's scope. What should I do?: Due to the large volume of articles falling under the project, occasionally a tag is added to an article that the project does not cover. Feel free to remove the tag if the article truly is not within the scope of the project. If there is any doubt, post a note on the article's talk page and discuss it.
What if I don't agree with a rating?: Feel free to change it (within reason) if you think a different rating is justified; in the case of major disputes, the project as a whole can discuss the issue either on the project's talk page or on the talk page of the article in question and come to a consensus as to the best rating.
Aren't the ratings subjective?: Yes, they are somewhat subjective, but it's the best system we've been able to devise. If you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!
Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments on the talk page?: Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.

Quality scale

Label	Criteria	Process for rating	Example
FA	Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status, and meet the current criteria for featured articles.	Follow the instructions on the Featured article candidates page.	M249 light machine gun as of November 2019
A	Provides a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a great article. It should be of a length that suitably covers the subject, with a well-written introduction and an appropriate series of headings to break up the content. Sufficient external literature references should be provided from (preferably) reliable third-party sources. Any third-party sources should have a solid reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Should be well illustrated when appropriate and have no copyright problems. Any article be considered for featured article candidacy should be an A-Class article before being submitted for FA status.	Follow the instructions on the project's A-Class review page.
GA	The article has passed through the Good article nomination process and been granted GA status, meeting the good article standards.	Follow the instructions on the Good article candidates page.	FN P90 as of November 2019
B	The article has been reviewed by an editor and accepted to meet the following criteria: B1. Proper referencing and citation throughout the article. B2. Adequate and correct coverage of the article topic, without obvious omissions or inaccuracies. B3. Proper structure as per the Manual of Style and project guidelines. B4. Proper grammar and spelling. B5. Adequate supporting materials such as external links and See also items.	Any editor can assign this rating after having reviewed the article as per the previously mentioned guidelines.

Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE).

The infobox is intended as a quick reference. Don't add non-data items, like question marks, “none”, “see text” or links to article sections (the article's table of contents already does this). Only add “unknown” to assert that an information point is unknowable, not as a placeholder to show that it is missing from the article. Choose a representative model and indicate what it is with the spec_label parameter, instead of listing multiple data items in one field.

The template can also be used for general categories of weapons, such as tank and Katyusha rocket launcher, by including only some general characteristics.

Guidelines

Naming

The names of firearm articles should start with the proper name of the manufacturer, followed by the firearm's name. Examples of this policy are Heckler & Koch MP7 instead of MP7 or Smith & Wesson Model 1006 instead of S&W Model 1006. Exceptions to this are firearms named with military designations such as M16 rifle or AK-47. See WP:WEAPON#Naming conventions for the guideline on naming military firearms.

Structure

Firearm articles should be structured largely along the following guidelines (consistent with guidelines contained in WP:MILGUN for military weapons):

History. A history of the firearm, including background events leading to the design and the evolution of the design.
Design and features. A description of the major points of the firearm, including details of the operating mechanism, how the firearm is maintained and operated by the user, and the cartridge(s) the firearm is chambered in.
Use. The intended/common uses of the firearm (ex: hunting, competetive shooting, defense, etc)
Variants. A list and description of all variants and close descendants of the firearm, plus production details when available.
Accessories. A list and description of accessories that are commonly associated with the firearm.
Cultural impact, if any. A general summary of the firearm's impact on culture, complying with the guidelines on popular culture.

Non-firearm articles associated with WikiProject Firearms should generally follow the structure guidelines that are already associated with the appropriate type of article, such as constitutional law articles, jurisprudence articles, chemistry articles, and other categories of articles that often overlap with WikiProject Firearms.

The goal of WikiProject Firearms for articles tagged with the project's banner is to improve the firearms related content, such as improving the accuracy of articles vs. misconceptions that often arise due to pop-culture fiction, movie physics, and similar non-factual beliefs. In general, WikiProject Firearms goals are to work on improving the quality of project-tagged articles without imposing WikiProject Firearms guidelines as mandates.

Pop culture

Template:Need-Consensus Avoid pop culture and trivia sections. In general they clutter articles, and contribute very little. Acceptable pop culture information should be highly notable, for example: the Walther PPK's use by James Bond. The pop cultural item that the firearm appeared in must represent the firearm realistically, and if named, should use the real name or a highly common nickname (e.g. Schmeisser for the MP40, or Burp gun for the PPSh-41). Speculation as to fictional appearances such as claims of a fictional gun being based on a real one should be removed in all cases as they are original research. Likewise, lists of fictional appearances should be removed as they violate WP:AVTRIV. Airsoft versions of real firearms are not notable to the firearm article. Citations are needed if the notability of an appearance is disputed; these citations should not be a list of appearances but should be a source actually showing increased fame or notoriety because of the appearances. See WP:MILMOS#POP for the guidelines on pop culture pertaining to military history, including military firearms. Pop culture should be treated in articles with coverage appropriate to its significance to the subject of the article; as per WP:UNDUE.

Criminal use

Template:Need-Consensus In order for a criminal use to be notable enough for inclusion in the article on the gun used, it must meet some criteria. For instance, legislation being passed as a result of the gun's usage (ex. ban on mail-order of firearms after use of the Carcano in JFK's assassination would qualify). Similarly, if its notoriety greatly increased (ex. the Intratec TEC-DC9 became infamous as a direct result of Columbine). As per WP:UNDUE, editors "should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject".

Variants

Variants of a model of a firearm such as folding/telescoping stock variants, target versions, variants chambered in a new caliber, compact/carbine variants generally should not receive their own article. Instead, use a section for the variant in the parent firearm's article or consolidate it into a table or the text. The exception to this is where significant amounts of design and/or history would be lost by merging. An example of this is the M4 Carbine. Despite the fact that the M4 Carbine is only a carbine version of the M16A2 and its internal components are completely interchangeable with those of the M16 rifle, the M4's development history is significantly different, qualifying it for its own article.

Citations

Cite as much information as possible. This way the articles will have more credibility. Extraordinary claims require citations from very reliable sources. If you don't want something you have added to be deleted, cite a reliable source, assuming the source supports your statement.

Open tasks

If you find anything that really needs to be on the list, just add it to the list. Be sure to say what you are adding in your edit summary, with wikilink to the article. When someone has completed the task, that person should cross out the article from the list, and if everyone agrees, it should be removed from the list two or three days after being crossed out (note: this doesn't include requests, once an article is created it should be removed completely or moved to one of the categories as needed).

When adding entries to the list, please do so in alphabetical order.

Ortgies 7.65mm Semi-Automatic Pistol, someone made this a few month's back but didn't categorise it, so it didn't fall into the Guns tree. I'll ping a forum I know and see if I can get a pic for it. In the meantime, what should the title be changed to? MatthewVanitas (talk) 06:46, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Greetings from a non-member of the project) I added a couple of photos and fleshed the article out a bit today. I took the liberty of removing the "needs wikifying" and "nothing links here" tags, which notwithstanding discussion on the talk page always struck me as silly appended to a one-sentence stub, and the stub tag as well. I'm also adding links in related articles, so far mostly having to do with J.D. Salinger's story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish." Most of what I've added is from one source; I hope maybe others can diversify the sourcing and in particular add some info about the inventor, about whom I found a good bit of interest in discussion forums and such (useless as Wikipedia sources) but very little in "reputable" sources online. As to the title, the same basic design evidently was produced in 6.35, 7.65, and 9mm variants, so I'd be inclined to remove the "7.65mm" and go with just "Ortgies semi-automatic pistol."

Gun violence. Should the firearm homicide table in Gun Violence (tabulated by country) include columns of non-gun-related homicides? No discussion of general homicides is contained in the Gun violence article. Would including columnar data of non-gun-related homicides cause POV problems -- from spinning all homicides as somehow being related to guns, even in countries (e.g., the UK) where most homicides are not related to guns.

Collaboration and review

Assessment

Purpose

What is the purpose of article assessments?: The assessment system allows the Firearms WikiProject to monitor the quality of articles that fall under its purview, and to prioritize work on these articles. The ratings are also used by the Wikipedia 1.0 program to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content.
Are these ratings official?: No. These ratings are meant primarily for the internal use of the project to better prioritze work on the articles, and usually do not imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.

Assessing articles

Who can assess articles?: In general, anyone can add or change an article's rating. However, the "GA" and "FA" labels should only be used on articles that have been reviewed and are currently designated as good articles or featured articles, respectively. Drastic changes to an article's rating should typically be discussed on the article's talk page before making the change.

How do I assess an article?: Consult the quality scale below; once you have chosen the level that seems to be closest to the article, set the class parameter in the WPGUNS banner template to the level's name (omitting "Class" from the end). For example, to rate an article as "B-Class", use |class=B in the banner. Again, the "FA" and "GA" labels should not be added to articles unless they actually are currently designated as such.

Common concerns

Someone put a project banner template on an article, but it's not really within the WikiProject's scope. What should I do?: Due to the large volume of articles falling under the project, occasionally a tag is added to an article that the project does not cover. Feel free to remove the tag if the article truly is not within the scope of the project. If there is any doubt, post a note on the article's talk page and discuss it.
What if I don't agree with a rating?: Feel free to change it (within reason) if you think a different rating is justified; in the case of major disputes, the project as a whole can discuss the issue either on the project's talk page or on the talk page of the article in question and come to a consensus as to the best rating.
Aren't the ratings subjective?: Yes, they are somewhat subjective, but it's the best system we've been able to devise. If you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!
Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments on the talk page?: Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.

This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article.

Usage

A weapon infobox may be used to summarize information about a particular weapon or weapon system (such as a firearm, a sword, a grenade, an artillery piece, a torpedo, or a tank); cartridges and artillery shells should use {{Infobox firearm cartridge}} instead. The infobox should be added using the {{Infobox weapon}} template, as shown below.

Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE).

The infobox is intended as a quick reference. Don't add non-data items, like question marks, “none”, “see text” or links to article sections (the article's table of contents already does this). Only add “unknown” to assert that an information point is unknowable, not as a placeholder to show that it is missing from the article. Choose a representative model and indicate what it is with the spec_label parameter, instead of listing multiple data items in one field.

The template can also be used for general categories of weapons, such as tank and Katyusha rocket launcher, by including only some general characteristics.

Parameters

Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE). References for numerically converted parameters (e.g., |bullet=) can be appended using the corresponding ref parameter (e.g., |bullet_ref=). Sources for the ballistic performance table, and more general sources, can be included using the |balsrc= parameter.

primer – optional – the type of primer used in the cartridge (e.g. large pistol, small rifle, rimfire, etc.).
max_pressure – optional – the maximum chamber pressure of the round, expressed in MPa or psi; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
pressure_method – optional – the methodology used to measure pressure, such as SAAMI, CIP, EPVAT, SCATP.
max_pressure2 – optional as above, second pressure with method
pressure_method2 – optional as above, second pressure's method
max_pressure3 – optional as above, third pressure with method
pressure_method2 – optional as above, third pressure's method
max_cup – optional – the maximum chamber pressure of the round, expressed in CUP; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas. Note that this parameter is not affected by the is_SI_specs parameter.
filling – optional – the explosive filling material of the shell, if any.
filling_weight – optional – the weight of the explosive material of the shell, if any.
detonation – optional – for explosive shells, the detonation trigger type (e.g. "timer", "pressure", "motion sensor").
yield – optional – for explosive shells, the yield (in tons of TNT) of the device.

Ballistic performance parameters:

Ballistic data for up to five different weight bullets can be specified; it may be provided in either SI or English units, but this choice must be consistent for all five sets. The x in the field name should be replaced with 1–5 as displayed in the template format shown above (e.g. bw1, bw2, btype1, btype2, vel1, vel2, en1, en2, etc.):

is_SI_ballistics – optional – "yes" if the energy and velocity ballistics data is entered in SI units; any other value causes it to be interpreted as English units.
bwunit – optional – "gram" if the weights are given in grams; any other value causes them to be interpreted as grains.
bwround – optional – specify the number of digits after the decimal point in the converted weight (the default is 0 if not specified; if specified but empty, defaults to the same default as convert).
bwx – optional – the weight of the bullet for given data, expressed in grams or grains; only include the number, and not the units of measurement.
- btypex – optional – the type of bullet (e.g. JHP, FMJ, BHP, etc.).
- velx – required if bw field is specified – velocity of the bullet at the muzzle, expressed in m/s or ft/s; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
- enx – required if bw field is specified – energy of the bullet at the muzzle, expressed in J or ft·lbf; only include the number, and not the units of measurement, and omit any commas.
test_barrel_length – optional – the length of the barrel used when generating the ballistics data.
