Talk:M1 Garand

I removed the majority of this information:


 * The M1 Garand (formally the United States Rifle, Caliber .30, M1)is a projectile weapon and the first semi-automatic rifle to be generally issued the infantry in any nation. It officially replaced the Springfield M1903 rifle as the standard service rifle of the United States military in 1936, and was in turn officially replaced by the M14 in 1957. However, the M1 continued to be issued in large numbers until 1963, and to a lesser degree until 1966.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't think I am), but none of this was ever stated in the episode in question ("Killing Game, Part II"). --From Andoria with Love 06:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


 * real world info is not bad info. I'm putting the info back. -

Unless it's been agreed upon on this page, you can't put it back. In addition, real world info is bad if it wasn't stated in canon. Information in an article that is not stated in canon (short of one or two brief definition sentences) goes against our. --From Andoria with Love 07:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Captainchris, people don't come to MA for real world info on WW2 weapons, they come here for the Star Trek info. It is the job of Wikipedia to present the real world info, not MA. That is why we have a link to Wikipedia at the bottom of the article, if you want real world info, we tell you where to get it. --OuroborosCobra talk 07:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Then delete the whole thing. I just reviewed Killing Game I & II the term M1 Grand is never spoken. The weapon is in shown throughout both episodes I would suggest that in the interest of trivial knowledge either we put in detailed info or none at all.

If it's an M1 Garand then it's an M1 Garand. It may not have been named on-screen, but if that's what it was, then that's canon. But beyond the name and a brief definition, we can't go into any further detail unless it was given in the episode. --From Andoria with Love 07:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
