Review comments
[edit]I accepted this AFC. I'd like to confirm that none of the content on this page was copied verbatim from the magazines it references. I don't have access to the magazines, so it's hard for me to tell. Even if the content is changed superficially, it is still a copyright violation to include it. If you did include any content verbatim, please put quotation marks around it so that we know and can evaluate it.
I also added {{fact}} tags to facts that I think could use references - for example you should reference the specific patents referred to in the patents section, and you should provide quantitative sales data to back up the increased popularity of the guns.
The image was initially deleted because it was improperly uploaded according to our Wikipedia:Non-free content policy. I restored it, added the {{non-free logo}} tag, and added a fair use rationale. Note that per policy this image could only be uploaded after launching the article. Additionally, I deleted the image on Commons, as only freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Commons - images licensed only for use on Wikipedia may not be uploaded there.
Finally, I cleaned up some language that described the guns in glowing terms (and was not ascribed to a source) to maintain a neutral point of view. Dcoetzee 20:06, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
