Opposed move
editI reverted the move for several reasons:
- Call of Duty players are not the unique intended audience
- there was a typo in the name
- the existing Châtellerault page is about the town itself, not any specific weapon made here
- The Manufacture d'armes de Châtellerault designed several machine gun models, including the Reibel machine gun and MAC 1934.
I'll add a Chatellerault machine gun page to help with this confusion. PpPachy (talk) 20:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Fremdgerät number
editFremdgerät number for M1931 was KpfwMG 311(f), not 331. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.193.207.228 (talk) 13:45, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Some issues in the intro
editThere are two particular sentences I take issue with:
"The Fusil-mitrailleur Modèle 1924 M29 was the standard light machine gun of the French Army from 1925"
Technically incorrect, the 1924 model was standard from 1925 to ≈1929, whilst the 1924M29 would be standard from ≈1929 until its replacement. Perhaps it's nitpicky, any thoughts?
"the FM 1924 M29 soldiered on, practically without interruptions, for more than 50 years"
I find "practically without interruptions" to be a bit vague, what is practically? Was the weapon used throughout WWII by Free French and colonial forces too?
