Talk:Otobreda 127/54 Compact

Manufacturer?
I'm unsure if it's built by the Italian company Otobreda and Oto Melara. Can anyone explain the difference? On the factsheet I have it's manufacturered by Otobreda. On the webpage (see the references), it's build by Oto Melara. PS I'm new to this all wikipedia. Hfodf 00:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Quoting the Oto Melera wiki page (no source listed there so who knows): "On 1 December 2001, the naval artillery division of Oto Melara merged with that of Breda Meccanica Bresciana to form the new entity of Otobreda and is now in charged of the production and manufacturing process for DARDO CIWS, Otobreda 76 mm and Otobreda 127/54 Compact naval guns." By the way if I have some time I'm going to overhaul this page since it is a pretty important gun from OTO's point of view; no promises yet though. T-Nod (talk) 15:11, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Excuse me for the double-post but I just realised there is another article already for the lightweight version. Since the LW is basically an alteration meant to make the gun more compact and light, I think both should be merged. T-Nod (talk) 15:41, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * IF you really want to update, I'd suggest that you follow/use the same infobox format found on 5"/54 caliber Mark 45 gun and Bofors 57 mm gun. Best. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 15:48, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
