Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. I noticed that you made a change to an article, JW GROM, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:16, 17 May 2022 (UTC)


 * You would need a source to demonstrate the desert eagle has been used in a combat capacity, the default assumption for irregular weapons (that is to say ones that are very impractical) being used by SF is that they are being held in a training/familiarisation capacity only.
 * There are zero images out there (at least that i've ever seen in some rather extensive research) of GROM operators using the desert eagle in a combat zone or in a training operation.
 * For reference here is a sofrep article that mentions this specific case https://sofrep.com/gear/the-weird-world-of-the-desert-eagle-and-its-offspring/
 * I would have added the reference originally however it seemed implicit from the lack of recent images (or any images at all) of the weapon being used by GROM in practice that the weapon is not regularly issued or even issued at all. 5.151.132.129 (talk) 19:25, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello IP. Feel free to add back the info with the ref. It might be unreliable however. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:26, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm working on re-adding it with reference now, still getting used to how the referencing formatting works in the first place so it may take a few edits to get it right. Personally I don't believe SOFREP to be an unreliable source (or Travis Pike). I've certainly not seen SOFREP intentionally post false information especially about matters pertaining to modern special operations. 5.151.132.129 (talk) 19:38, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright. See WP:Referencing for beginners for help on adding refs. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:39, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorted it now, was having a problem figuring out which information was required to make the citation work within wiki but it should work now. Thanks for the help. 5.151.132.129 (talk) 19:42, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:42, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
