40mm grenade

nonsense/borders on dicdef; nothink links here Avriette 00:54, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Perfectly good stub on a valid topic that I'm sure that the military weaponry fans will have a lot of fun expanding. It may require a move later, but since I don't know the official military designation of it, it's fine here. --Unfocused 03:41, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

I suppose I forgot to mention, I'm one of those gun-nut types. Anything that can be said about the 40mm grenade can be said on M203, which is the only weapon in fact chambered for it. In fact, that is like me saying the previous sentence, and providing a link off to chamber indicating that a chamber is where the munition is placed. It just doesn't make sense.

I added ten additional weapons that use this caliber grenade round. The M203 is not the only weapon chambered for this round. --Unfocused 03:17, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - Per what Mgm said -CunningLinguist 08:55, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep --- A classic example of how a really bad article can become a really useful stub. The anonymous author contributed only a brief description that relates the 40mm grenade to the M203 and the US military, which suggests that this ammunition isn't important outside those contexts. But a particular kind of ammunition is worth documenting separately if it's used in a wide variety of weapons -- and a little googling reveals this to be the case. ----Isaac R 17:14, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with Grenade. There is nothing sufficiently notable about particular brands of modern grenade to warrent seperate articles. ~~~~ 16:20, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
