X-7 data seems a little out of whack

http://www.geocities.com/Augusta/8172/panzerfaust12.htm seems to suggest it had a 2.5 kg warhead and weighed in total 9kg. Also it's extremely unlikely it had any kind of proximity fused warhead. Any objections to me fixing this ? Megapixie 04:57, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have corrected the entry Megapixie 04:13, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

To add to this: it says the French Nord SS.10, developed from the X-7, was abandoned after 200 were made, which is definitely untrue. Either the X-7 development referred to was not the SS.10, or someone's got it completely wrong. The SS.10 (with different propellant from the X-7) was produced for years: thousands were made. See the SS.10 Wikipedia page, for a start. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.30.151.227 (talk) 09:25, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Don't shoot, I'm only the test pilot

If the 262 never fired trial missiles, how, exactly, did it "participate" in the test program...? TREKphiler ^{hit me ♠} 21:25, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

X-7 sucessfully saw action in large numbers during the siege of Breslau in 1945

To quote a reliable source ("Ploetz"[the standard german encyclopedia on history]Vol.II-"Kriegsmittel"[Weaponry],edition November 1960,p.209,editor Prof.Dr.Hans Stange University of Göttingen):

"X 7 was sucessfully deployed in large numbers during the battle of Breslau[Capital of Silesia,Eastern Front]in 1945."

Hence the corresponding notes in the main section ("Date deployed: Never") appear to be somehow corrupted.
