Firearms articles with possible issues, such as notability and possible solutions:

Jonson cartridges
Several cartridges that don't seem to be notable on their own. Let's combine? The existing articles are mostly cut-pasted from each other and are extremely POV
 * 6.5 Jonson AFD 10/3
 * the issue with these might be the fact that the velocities are going to be overrated and overstated. No would still need info on these. We know it exists but there is little or no reliable info. These are projects that have been going on for 25 years and never got any traction and may not in the future. Major POV issue though, must have been a disciple of some sort. :)

Misc

 * 6mmAR - no idea on this one - one line stub.


 * .600 Overkill single source not really good per WP:RS There is some following on this billed now as the most powerful cartridge. It will soon be in 2 or 3 now in this day and age of upmanshipDeusImperator (talk) 04:19, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge into a new Big bore wildcat cartridges or something like that? To handle the "real" but obscure stuff? AFH
 * Can be merged into a general "holding" document along with the .585 Gehringer, .700 AHR and the rest.
 * These are really oneupmanship cartridges. Yep go for it. If someone eventually want to have an article, they can source it and get a decent article going.


 * 7.62 Thumper -??? yeah heard of it but really??? Could this be added as a variant of the 7.62x39 and then deleted?
 * Can you merge this into the 7.62x39 as this is actually a variant of the 7.62x39. If one takes a look at the reloading manuals you will find some that use the .308 bullet and these cartridge would be designated 7.62 Thumber. The 7.62x39 is actually a .311 instead of a .308. The small variation in diameter makes it really a variation than a cartridge in its own right. Older Hornady manuals do provide information with .308 bullets but still call it a 7.62x39. Plus, all "Thumpers" can be fired in a 7.62x39 Russian chamber.


 * Ching sling Yep there noted in Jeff Coopers work. Thought to be essential on the Scout Rifle
 * Shouldn't it be merged with Sling (firearms)? AFH
 * Please do. The ching sling should not be considered for an article of its own.


 * Center Axis Relock - ???
 * Cavalry draw - sounds like a how to . You know some of this stuff should be deleted. Some of these are so silly.
 * Decoppering - merge to Glossary of firearms terminology? Hmm strech lol. I did not know there was a term for that. Well sure glossary.
 * Canyon rifle - Never hear of a canyon rifle but sure cross canyon it just mean a long rage rifle. I am not sure why someone thinks a "canyon rifle" deserves an article. Glossary of terminology would be good.


 * List of rifle cartridges and List of handgun cartridges - can we make this an index that goes to the various caliber pages (like List of cartridges by caliber) and stop putting things in two places? Really 3 if you count Table of pistol and rifle cartridges by year. What about Lists of cartridges? and Category:Cartridge families
 * Good idea. Make it something like a table. Also, this is a good idea because of some cartridges like the .44-40 .38-40 44 Magnum, which are used in rifles and pistols. The lines between some pistol and rifle cartridges are blurred and this should take care of such issues should someone bring them up in the future.
