Talk:Barrett REC7

message: It mentions that stopping power is 50% greater than 5.56, and then also mentions that Kinetic energy is 1.5 times greater. I am no expert, but isn't that the same fact?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.149.62 (talk) 23:43, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Stopping Power

message: I added the current price and a link to the Barrett web page which lists same, I don't feel inclined to remove the link to Military.com and the competing price because it may represent what Barrett would charge them.
This gun is now being called the REC7 on Barrett's website, I will try my best to change the article to reflect this. --Semper Fidelis (talk) 16:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

message: WHy does this have it's own dedicated page? It's another civilian AR-15 clone with a SIR rail. How is it different from any other civilian AR-15 clone? Wikipedia is not an advertising brochure for manufacturers. And why did someone label this a service rifle? Was it created in response to a government solicitation for a replacement for current issue weapons? How many armies have it in service? This is an amateurish article that reads like an ad in a gun rag and I will seek to delete it unless it meets the notability requirements. Koalorka (talk) 18:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not a government solicitation, no - but the US special warfare community, which rather famously avoid bureaucratical entanglements by purchasing direct when they decide they need something. The M468 was the first series-produced weapon for a round that was designed on demand for the special warfare guys, and the website rather prominently noted that availability to civilians would be extremely limited at first due to military procurement having priority. Draw your own conclusions. As to notability, Googling "Barrett M468" gives 7,200 hits, so it's not exactly unheard of, even if the spec-war folks themselves are keeping rather quiet about it. --213.114.139.140 (talk) 05:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's 6.8 mm, get your facts right. What's this latest craze of you going around tagging articles for deletion? Apparently no article is right unless you have edited it. Why don't you just start your own Wiki called 'Koalorka's 100% correct firearm Wiki' where you can choose your perfect selection of firearms? I find it ironic that you posted this comment, "And of course we're continuously expanding our scope with coverage of lesser known and obscure designs! Keep up the good work. This next year should see emphasis placed on maintaining and enforcing uniformity." Hayden120 (talk) 15:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

text: It appeared on the show Future Weapons, on the Discovery Channel. The article is notable.

text: Well first off this entry reads like an advertising brochure for Barrett. Then an anonymous user claims it's in use by the special forces. Another guy comes in and tells us it was on Futureweapons where the host, a former Super Megaforce ranger Delta SEAL mind you calls magazines clips and SMG's machine guns. We ARE NOT going to suddenly start creating pages for every one of the billions of commercial AR-15 clones out there. And this Hayden, is where the "keeping and enforcing uniformity" kicks in. You're gonna see a lot of useless advertising removed I promise you that. Koalorka (talk) 17:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Well sorry if they were taken as personal attacks, I'm just getting a little concerned about this stubbornness and a bit of arrogance to the rest of the community. Even if everyone agrees to something, you still say it's not right. Yet, when a PROD tag is added to one of the articles you edit, you quickly remove it and say that will improve it soon. I don't think that's very fair. Hayden120 (talk) 23:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Well, I don't think this article needs to be deleted, but it certainly does need to be reworked. Especially in regards to sourcing, and making it less advert like.--LWF (talk) 20:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Okay, I've removed some material that seemed particularly unimportant/inaccurate/uncited. The article could still use some work, but hopefully this helps.--LWF (talk) 20:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Just drop it Koalorka. The article is notable, whether you admit it or not. 64.236.121.129 (talk) 21:21, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Well, if I recall correctly, it was the first mass-produced commercial firearm chambered for the 6.8 cartridge. I'll check into it.--LWF (talk) 22:45, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I've looked around and have not found any proof for that claim, although I can almost swear I've seen the claim, unfortunately I can't find where, so it could be one of those false memories. And I am in fact familiar with the AR, most anyone interested in firearms is, but I will point out that lots of manufacturers don't make their firearms with only their own components. That alone doesn't make it not notable.--LWF (talk) 22:53, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Well, I would say that you are correct, perhaps we should merge this into somewhere else as a mention that the first rifles in 6.8 were redone in the field by armed forces armorers, and that some companies (e.g. Barrett) have manufactured a version specifically designed for 6.8.--LWF (talk) 23:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I wouldn't hold my breath. This upper hasn't been officially considered by any major outfit. Koalorka (talk) 17:52, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I finally found where I had seen the statement that the M468 is the first production rifle in 6.8 Remington SPC, it turns out I had seen it in 6.8 SPC's article. Not exactly a citable source for our purposes.--LWF (talk) 19:10, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recent edit 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Barrett REC7's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
