M16A1 ???
[edit]Did the British really use the M16, I thought they were using the Armalite AR-18 at that time or something, ok probably not the AR-18 but I thought it was an Armalite, anyone know where we can source this? Ryan4314 17:03, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Update: M16s were used by the SAS, SBS and the Mountain & Artic Warfare Cadre. All very sneaky-beaky types. Ryan4314 (talk) 19:05, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
"Infantry weapons" section altered to a boring list for a minority.
[edit]User:King nothing removed the explaining text in the British ground forces in the Falklands War#Infantry weapons with an "unneeded explanations" [1].
Unless you're an expert in British Army weaponry around 1982 the section is like this "L1A1 SLR - L42A1 - L2-A2 - M16A1 - ABC49 - QWERTY45 - FIMBLIM92..." not very useful. You might argue that all of them are wikilinks so readers can find out themselves what it is by clicking. But it's not very user-friendly to force readers to click through 19 pages instead of reading the so-called "unneeded explanations" at a glance. I admit that if the text inside the box brackets weren't shortened like e.g. [[M79 grenade launcher|M79]] some of the additional text would be superfluous. But the rest is nice to have:
- MILAN Anti-Tank Guided Missile - "I see they knocked out many Argentine Main Battle Tanks?".
- M16 and Lee-Enfield rifles - "Yankee rifles and World War Two (One) vintage - standard issue?"
Is this article intended for the average reader seeking information or for a closed society? --Regards, Necessary Evil (talk) 19:31, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed, reverting. --Ryan4314 (talk) 21:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
63SQN RAF REGIMENT
[edit]THE RAPIER SYSTEM USED BY THE RAF REGIMENT DURING THE CONFLICT WAS NOT OF THE B2 TYPE, THE REGT NEVER USED B2. IT WAS B1 STANDARD , POSSIBLY WITH THE MID LIFE UPDATE. 90.200.226.162 (talk) 22:04, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Argentine OOB
[edit]Are there pages (English Wiki) covering Argentine land, air and sea elements similar to this (and the corresponding air and sea pages)? Farawayman (talk) 00:35, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, see the Falklands War box at the bottom of the article for that information. Gavbadger (talk) 18:16, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
