Are attacks and incidents where firearms are used part of this project's scope? It's not explicitly stated in the section where the project's scope is defined, but there are many listed among the featured content section.

:No. That would be like [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles|WikiProject Automobiles]] fitting cases of vehicular homicide or vehicular manslaughter within their scope. Most attacks or incidents will either fall under [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Crime|WikiProject Crime]] or the [[WP:MILHIST|Military History Project]]. As far as [[Telescopic sight|Scope]], yes, that belongs to us. 8^D<br /> — [[User:Berean Hunter|<span style="font-family:High Tower Text;color:#0000ff;font-weight:900;">Berean Hunter</span>]] [[User talk :Berean Hunter|<span style="font-family:High Tower Text;color:#0000ff;font-weight:900;">(talk)</span>]] 19:54, 2 June 2017 (UTC) |

::The biggest problem is that a lot of people seem to think that it does - and I'm sure they'd think the same of the automobiles thing. I've come across the same issues in deletion sorting too. Should they be removed, or is it okay if they've been there for so long? And maybe there should be a statement in the scope definition about what ''isn't'' covered, like [[WP:WikiProject Death]]? Admittedly many of the events triggered debates on gun control and gun politics, which are covered by this project, so it's a bit of a gray area there.

- The Smith & Wesson M&P15 was used in the 2012 Aurora shooting,[1][2][3] the 2013 Los Angeles International Airport shooting,[4][5] and the 2015 San Bernardino attack.[6][7][8]

Garand M0
Discussion underway here on the worth of restoring a deleted page on the M1919 Garand prototype. Comment is invited. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 11:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC)~
On the topic of pictures
I have noticed one MAJOR problem with many firearm related pages and lists, and that is a lack of pictures. this is completely understandable for very scarce/rare/prototype firearms, but for others that can be found with a quick google images search it isn't as much so — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chillcat222 (talk • contribs) 00:37, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
- Not every pic online is free to use.... TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 07:01, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
- In fact, most aren't. You need to make sure that you get either the permission of the photo's copyright owner or find photos that are in the common domain or are under something like the GNU or Creative Commons license, which is much more difficult. Or take a picture yourself and release it under the CC license, which I've done for a few guns I own. — Bardbom (talk) 02:11, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
Popular pages report
We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Firearms/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Firearms.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
- The pageview data includes both desktop and mobile data.
- The report will include a link to the pageviews tool for each article, to dig deeper into any surprises or anomalies.
- The report will include the total pageviews for the entire project (including redirects).
We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Firearms, and what articles may be deserving of more attention. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at m:User talk:Community Tech bot.

- No. That would be like WikiProject Automobiles fitting cases of vehicular homicide or vehicular manslaughter within their scope. Most attacks or incidents will either fall under WikiProject Crime or the Military History Project. As far as Scope, yes, that belongs to us. 8^D
