Did the British really use the M16, I thought they were using the Armalite AR-18 at that time or something, ok probably not the AR-18 but I thought it was an Armalite, anyone know where we can source this? Ryan4314 17:03, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
User:King nothing removed the explaining text in the
British ground forces in the Falklands War#Infantry weapons with an "unneeded explanations"
[1].
Unless you're an expert in British Army weaponry around 1982 the section is like this "L1A1 SLR - L42A1 - L2-A2 - M16A1 - ABC49 - QWERTY45 - FIMBLIM92..." not very useful. You might argue that all of them are wikilinks so readers can find out themselves what it is by clicking. But it's not very user-friendly to force readers to click through 19 pages instead of reading the so-called "unneeded explanations" at a glance. I admit that if the text inside the box brackets weren't shortened like e.g. [[M79 grenade launcher|M79]] some of the additional text would be superfluous. But the rest is nice to have:
