Talk:List of guns and mortars used by the Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery

Errors in Listing
There are a number of errors in this list. The short 25 pounder is an Australian designed & built pack gun. It fired standard 25 pounder ammunition & was designed using the standard 25 pounder (which was being licenced built in Australia at the time) as a starting point but little else in common. The M777 is actually a combined USA/UK origon. The weapon was designed in UK & all the titanium parts are made there, the barell is designed & made in USA & the finished weapon is assembled there (Britian does not at this point field this weapon) Two different imperial sized guns are listed with the same metric dimensions which can't be correct (I believe the 8" gun is correct but not the 9.2" gun). I don't believe any of the L5 pack howitzers are still in use. The army reserve stopped using them some time in the 1990's. The F2 mortar is a UK/Canada design. Australia announced in 2012 it was looking at replacing the current F2 motar, therefore I would be very supprised if it only came into service in 2010 (it was designed in the 1960's). 101.171.170.142 (talk) 11:36, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Gday - some good points. I've fixed the error for 9 inch conversion and the country of origin for the Short 25 pounder and M777. According to the source I found the L5's were withdrawn from AS service in 1992. 2010 for the F2 mortar is the date it entered service with RAA (as its now used by the Reserve Light Batteries). It was of course used by Mortar Pls in the infantry bns well before then. As such I haven't changed this. Anotherclown (talk) 21:09, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Suggestions to improve coverage and structure
G'day, this list is not in bad shape at all and probably could be brought up to B-class with only a little extra work. In this regard, I wonder if it would make sense to split the two tables in to separate ones for both guns and mortars. I would then suggest the inclusion of a summary paragraph above each table discussing the changes etc. The lead would then need a couple of sentences or a paragraph explaining the content. That would probably be sufficient to bring it up to B-class, IMO. Some discussion of the equipping of certain field regiments with mortars in the early stages of World War II might be considered. I think, for example, one of the 8th Division's field regiments was mortar equipped for a period prior to the Malayan Campaign. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 21:44, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
