Talk:FM 24/29 light machine gun

Opposed move
I reverted the move for several reasons:


 * Call of Duty players are not the unique intended audience
 * there was a typo in the name
 * the existing Châtellerault page is about the town itself, not any specific weapon made here
 * The Manufacture d'armes de Châtellerault designed several machine gun models, including the Reibel machine gun and MAC 1934.

I'll add a Chatellerault machine gun page to help with this confusion. PpPachy (talk) 20:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Fremdgerät number
Fremdgerät number for M1931 was KpfwMG 311(f), not 331. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.193.207.228 (talk) 13:45, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Some issues in the intro
There are two particular sentences I take issue with:

"The Fusil-mitrailleur Modèle 1924 M29 was the standard light machine gun of the French Army from 1925"

Technically incorrect, the 1924 model was standard from 1925 to ≈1929, whilst the 1924M29 would be standard from ≈1929 until its replacement. Perhaps it's nitpicky, any thoughts?

"the FM 1924 M29 soldiered on, practically without interruptions, for more than 50 years"

I find "practically without interruptions" to be a bit vague, what is practically? Was the weapon used throughout WWII by Free French and colonial forces too?
