Talk:Zuni (rocket)

message: The picture should be of a rocket, and not an accident. --Conor Fallon (talk) 21:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, almost the whole article consists of trivia related to the Zuni rocket, but nothing at all substantive about its development or use. I'm not saying that anything in the article should be removed, there just needs to be a lot more surrounding what it already in the article.--172.190.44.235 (talk) 22:18, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

message: So where does the "Zuni" designation come from? It's not like the US Navy to give ordnance a title, at least not without some official alphanumeric designation proceeding it. Usually they are derived from nicknames which come from obvious sources...Sidewinder for its curving path, "Mighty Mouse" rockets for the irony and the cartoon character. And then there is a rocket called only the "Zuni"? Was the designers last name "Zuni"? It is not some random nickname someone thought up. Also, is "Zuni Folding Fin Aerial Rocket" the entire official designation? Or is it "5" Folding Fin Aerial Rocket" and "Zuni" is a nickname? Is "Mark 32" the number given to ALL Zuni rockets, or are there "Mark 31" Zuni rockets?
Mostly, I'd just like to know why "Zuni" though..45Colt 12:32, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As usual, Wiki is by no means complete, but a little more poking around led to the following: "No formal designations are allocated to all-up 5-inch Zuni rockets. Instead, the rocket type is generally identified by the designation of the motor assembly, which is the main body of the rocket and includes nozzle and fins. The original production Zuni motor is designated MK 16, and the ultimate variant is the MK 16 MOD 3. The various warheads are typically usable with all available motors, and are presumably often fitted to the rockets in the field only briefly before actual use. Therefore it was apparently deemed unnecessary to assign MK/MOD designations to every specific combination of rocket and payload. In fact, the original edition of the current designation system for rockets and missiles explicitly excluded unguided line-of-sight rockets from the system."

replies: text: p.s. as for the name, the National Air and Space Museum says the rocket was named after the Zuni Indian tribe. Why Zuni and not some California-based tribe, I can't tell you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.17 (talk) 12:48, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
