Prepare to be savaged…

• Just one thing: Can you provide a bit of context about why or Cracken discusses the riot gun in his field guide? ~Savage 19:00, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
  • Honestly, I don't know why he added it. Anything reason I add would be speculation. The guide only gives information on the gun, nothing else.
    • Isn't it in a specific chapter on a specific topic? And does Cracken give any commentary on it? ~Savage 20:16, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
      • Well, it's in the "Weapons" chapter. There is no commentary. All it gives is info on the gun. Nothing more. MasterFred^(Whatever) 02:33, October 14, 2011 (UTC)
• Oh, also probably worth adding to the History that a Duros found itself at the receiving end of one of these things at some point (based on the illustration). ~Savage 19:02, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
  • I don't really feel that's necessary. In fact, I would consider it speculation. The illustration is only there to demonstrate what the weapon does. It has no historical purpose. MasterFred^(Whatever) 19:33, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
    • The article remains incomplete until you mention the illustration, since it is a canonical depiction of someone getting caught in the gun. All you have to do is mention that Cracken's description was accompanied by an image of a Duros getting tangled in the gun, or you could say that "at some point, a Duros became entangled in the webbing shot by the gun" or something. It's not speculation, since it's in the canonical image. ~Savage 20:16, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
    • And on a related note, you should mention who drew the gun's pic in the BTS (if that info is given in the OS). ~Savage 20:19, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
      • OK, I've added the info on the illustration. I'll fix the rest later today, hopefully. MasterFred^(Whatever) 20:29, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
• Thanks for the review. :) MasterFred^(Whatever) 19:33, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Toprawa

• Kind of minor, but might we create an article for these pellets that is shoots? Not sure if this is worthwhile or not. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:58, October 23, 2011 (UTC)
  • Well, I really don't think an article on that specific type of pellet is necessary. And the article already describes what kind of pellet it was, so the only article I see that may need creating is a general "pellet" article, which I still don't think is notable enough.
