Removal of sources

There were recently a relatively large deletion of a lot of the existing source citations from this article. Sources should not be removed just to "remove clutter." Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and requires that the stuff we say here is verifiable. The other recent changes are fine; but the citations supporting many claims should not be deleted unless the claim the citation supports is also deleted.

If you look at the edits more closely, the citations were moved to a new column in the table. In the cases where I removed citations to reduce clutter, I retained several other citations that support the same information. Everything in the table is still supported by a verifiable source -- see the reference column. ROG5728 (talk) 19:54, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your clear and kind response. I will look at the edits more thoroughly on another day when I have more time. In the meantime, I'm fine with the source removal based on your claim that every item in the tables are actually sourced by the remaining sources that have been left.

Stargate

Just as a note that might help some scifi fans. It's the gun most commonly featured on the TV show "Stargate SG1" (and it's spinoffs). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.42.126.82 (talk) 19:28, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was also popularized by the RC P90 in Goldeneye(N64) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.55.176.9 (talk) 01:00, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This info might be worth including if we could find reliable secondary sources. Rezin (talk) 21:58, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Caldwell Borough, NJ police department

The source in question says that the Sparta, NJ police department, not the Caldwell Borough, NJ police department, uses the P90. Furthermore, the Sparta, NJ police department is already listed in the table as a user (actually, the IP editor who added Caldwell Borough to the table simply copied the citation from Sparta's entry in the table).

My mistake. Remove it then. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:48, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Feed issues?

There is nothing here indicating that it has feed issues due to it's magazine. Was this article written by a fan-boy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.78.183.102 (talk) 14:35, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The P90 magazine does not have feed issues. That was a myth created by HKPro (and perpetuated by people who don't know any better). ROG5728 (talk) 19:13, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Assault Rifle?

The introduction reads "could be classed as a compact assault rifle" This is erroneous as the 5.7x28 (as well as the 4.6x30, 7.92 VBR, etc.) is an armor-piercing 9mm replacement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.245.163.20 (talk) 20:42, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

HKPRO

I deleted a citation to HKPRO.com. It is not a reliable source for Wikipedia articles because its articles are anonymously posted and there's no discernible editorial review process. See WP:V for general rules, and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Firearms#HKPRO/ hkpro.com for a specific discussion of this source. Rezin (talk) 17:10, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
