* I just want to be careful about giving the impression that it's the same gun. It might be; it's certainly pretty highly customised, but the AWI could have ordered or built a bunch of the same gun. We need a name that leaves open for discussion whether it's all one gun or whether it's a bunch of identical guns.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 12:31, 27 December 2006 (EST) |

** My Comments: '''The gun''' should probably convert into a disambiguation page, or possibly redirect to a '''List of firearms''' page to reference all weapons appearing in the show. As for the Association Without Inititals handguns, I'm thinking convert the links to ''List of firearms''#'''M1911''' until we know if the AWI actually has a standard issued gun. <P> As for Style, I feel the titles of articles for inanimate objects should include references to the owner where possible. Surely there will be many more references to firearms in the show, so we should keep in mind what might be valid for a ''plot point'' and what might just be an item that appears for an episode and is forgotten... After all, we're not making pages for [[Matt]] and [[Audrey]]'s police issued firearms... --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 15:21, 27 December 2006 (EST) |

*** I'm not sure we need a "List of firearms" page, since it's pretty well-covered in [[:Category:Weapons]], but if somebody wants to go ahead and make that page, that's fine. As for ''this'' gun, can we just rename it to "customized gun" or (the less user-friendly) "1911 gun"? That would keep the number of guns ambiguous, yet clearly identify which gun(s) we are talking about. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 15:55, 27 December 2006 (EST) |

Revision as of 20:55, 27 December 2006
Rename Article
I think we need a different name for the gun, since really, there are two articles about guns, and many other guns on the show. Maybe "HRG's gun" or "AWI's gun"? Or, to be more exact (and this gets my vote) "The Exterminator's gun" (or I guess "Jumpsuit's gun")? Thoughts? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:22, 27 December 2006 (EST)
