# Talk:Chicken gun

This article contradicts itself giving two differing details of "first uses". Anyone know which should be deleted? --bodnotbod (talk) 14:12, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

The reference provided to support the RAE Farnborough 1961 first use (It's a Bird, It's a Plane... It's a Bird Striking a Plane) does not actually do so. It states that "NRC's Flight Impact Simulator Facility, located next to the Ottawa airport, featured a 10-inch gun, modeled after a smaller British bird gun built in 1961 by the Royal Aeronautical Establishment." This does not in any way denote that the RAE gun was the first design of its kind, only that it was the design basis for a later gun constructed by NRC at a date which is not expressly stated but is implied to be 1967.
Solid information on first use seems to be quite difficult to come by. One source which I found (an Aerospace Engineering article written in March 2000) credits the US Air Force with devising the concept at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio, USA and lists first use as 14 Sep 1972. (This is obviously incorrect.)
Given the relative paucity of information available, I propose the following changes:
1- The entire section entitled "The British connection" be removed, and the link contained within it preserved as an External Reference.
2- The paragraph which begins "The chicken gun was first used... " be removed from the "Pop Culture" section (where it clearly does not belong), re-located into its own section entitled "Origins" (or similar) and altered to read "The chicken gun is believed to have first been used... " with a note that this information is unverified.

I changed the First Used to just Uses (couldn't think of a better tittle) since I can find no documentation that clearly states the first use.  I've also moved the S-3 reference to this area since it seemed out of place in the opening paragraph. Slow Polk 3:47, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Chicken Gun (formerly Rooster Rudy Firefight). (Full Name: Chicken Gun Rooster Rudy) (CG for short) is a mobile online sandbox first-person shooter, released on February 19, 2019. The main idea of the game is to shoot for chickens, as well as pigs (if the game mode is Team Fight), to get coins to buy weapons, clothing, cars and other stuff. 36.65.216.120 (talk) 01:44, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Article claims bird strikes are "impossible" to eliminate.This bald claim requires an authoritative citation. I won't hold my breath. Incidentally, "infeasible", "economically impossible" and "politically impossible" would all be much better terms, although without a reference, they'd suffer from the same problem - an opinion without any likely reliable source. I find it ironic that should we pursue the complete elimination of the Class Aves, low on the list would be chickens as they're only capable of short distance (and near-surface) flight and pose a very low risk to aircraft relative to other birds. 40.142.176.185 (talk) 19:02, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
