Comments

Section "Development and description", paragraph 2: Is there any particular reason why the description of the rifle in the second paragraph begins in present-tense and then ends in past-tense? Given what's said in that paragraph it seems it should be either one or the other, and most likely past-tense.
- Examples of the weapon still exist, so I've put all but the sentence about the heaviest anti-tank rifle in present tense.
Section "Development and description", paragraph 3: Is "both" really the best word to use for three different shell-firing options? Says the 21st century, "I'm 18 and I like it!" (talk) 06:17, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
