Point shooting
Just did another pass at the point shooting article. I renamed the Applegate section to FAS, since that seems to be a common term for it, and added some additional information on the history and how Fairbairn and Sykes were involved. I also mentioned that Applegate was a Major when he started working with F&S, can you verify that? I know he was when he published Kill or Get Killed in 1943, but that doesn't mean he was a year earlier. I also pulled the FM 23-25 quote that John and I had been messing with in the P&S section up to the top, since it seemed to be a good intro to the theory behind points shooting. scot 20:15, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

From RES- As far as Applegate goes, I sent you a PM on the forum with the contact information for an individual who knew Applegate personally, and he should be able to answer the question.

Simunitions
Have you ever used Simunitions? I've got a basic idea of how they work--Para Ordnance actually made a Mac-10 clone that shot something similar before they started making 1911s--but information on Simuntitions is rather scarce on the web. Technical details I can get, I'm wondering how widely they are used, how they're viewed by trainers, etc. I've mentioned them in the wax bullets article and created a link for them, but I'm not sure they're worth more than the paragraph they already have in the wax bullets article. scot 22:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

From RES- I have used Sims quite a bit, and continue to use them in private training. I'll have a look at the article and make some additions.

We meet again...
I just did some work on the Spencer rifle page, cleaning up some off-topic stuff (rimfire vs. centerfire) and adding reference material. Take a look and let me know what you think. scot 22:04, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Excellent work! Roundeyesamurai 00:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Have a look...
I proposed a compromise that should work on Talk:Point shooting. Got any ideas for sources for the "FSA" abbreviation? I saw one of John Veit's pages pop up in a web search for "FAS" associated with point shooting, so that should work for that case. scot 14:13, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Walker Article...
I did some major changes on this (Walker Colt)article and though you might like to look it over with a view toward making needed changes. I hope I haven't stepped on any toes with this one --Mcumpston (talk) 04:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Walker Colt Article
I notice you have made contributions to this article. The article is currently locked down due to an allegation of copywrite violation made by user: Pigsonthewing. The individual links to an amazon.com (uk) exerpt from my book Percussion Pistols and Revolvers, etc claiming that text in the wikipedia article constitutes a violation of the copywrite. Apparently somebody had taken the allegation seriously enough to lock the article and slate it for deletion. There is no copywrite violation as the material in the article is well sourced and the copywrite is held by me. The individual has also gone through a couple of my contributions and delete them in the same time period. This individual has a history of edit wars and disruptive behavior. If you have comments, please place them on the walker discussion page--Mcumpston (talk) 05:56, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
