I have been looking online for weapon information lately considering I am
looking to purchase some few rifles.

I figured wikipedia would be a good resource for such a topic.

I noticed several clear errors on wikipedia regarding
assault rifles.

I also checked the world guns website, and there
were clear errors there as well.

One thing I checked was the M16A2 dimensions/specs
as a simple measuring stick to determine if I should even
bother trusting these sites.

Both websites are regarded as reputable, and they
were both clearly wrong.

How can they have such inaccuracies regarding such
straight forward data?

Are there any reliable sources out there for weaponry?

It seems the only reputable source out there
is Jane's Infantry Weapons.  But it is
very very expensive.  

I am willing to pay for professional literature
for accurate info, but not that much!

Libraries have them in the reference section.  Jane's is all military weapons though.


 



Original poster, I think you're in the right place to ask if you poke around the technical forums.

Thanks. I will check the library!
Most of my research is done on military weapons
anyhow!

I just really have no faith in the internet for
accurate info.
