Talk:MAG-7

Did everyone in US forget about 2 1/4" shells?

12 guage by 60mm... so not the most common size; 2 3/4" (~70mm). The 1 3/4" (~45mm) and 2" (~51mm) rounds are mentioned as replacement rounds... But they sell 2 1/4" (~57mm)rounds now. Why wouldn't the actual sized rounds work? Or did everyone forget they were actually still available? http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/50-rds-centurion-12-gauge-2-1-4-00-buckshot?a=669205 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.138.23 (talk) 13:39, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Copyright-Violation

I do not see any reason for a copyright-violation claim. The text is not a straight copy of any website, book or other source. The text might resemble a text, but it has been written again using the facts given by the other text. That is not plagarism. Arctic-Editor 15:23, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Please read over Wikipedia:Copyrights. The original work is located at the following URL: http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh20-e.htm . Here are some examples of copyright violation (I'll start out with simple sentences that could possibly be re-worded, because they are short, factual statements, and work my way up):

• Original: The MAG-7 shotgun was developed by the Techno Arms PTY company of South Africa.

• Wikipedia: The MAG-7 shotgun was developed by the Techno Arms PTY company of South Africa.

• Original: It is intended specially for close combat and operations in confined spaces, like the room-to-room searches.

• Wikipedia: It is intended specially for close combat and operations in confined spaces, like room-to-room searches.

• Original: Manual safety lever is located at the left side of the gun, above the pistol grip, the forearm is fitted with special lock button, which must be pushed to operate the slide and reload the gun - this allows the gun to be held safely two-handed in the heath of the combat without the risk of unintentionally opening the action.

• Wikipedia: The Manual safety lever is located on the left side of the gun, above the pistol grip. The forearm is fitted with special lock button, which must be pushed to operate the slide and reload the gun - this allows the gun to be held safely two-handed in the heath of the combat without the risk of unintentionally opening the action.

• Original: Since the compact size and short barrel effectively limits the civilian use of the MAG-7 (in most countries short-barreled shotguns are prohibited from civilian use or must be registered separately), special, "civilized" version, called MAG-7M1, had been developed. MAG-7M1 features a longer barrel of approx. 20 inch length (about 500 mm), and a fixed wooden butt, but, in this form, it looses all advantages of its original concept and is of interest mostly as a curious weapon.

There are word-for-word sentences here (I've bolded changes above, so that those following along at home can see to what I am referring). The text really resembles the original all the way down to the incorrect spelling of heat as heath!!! Changing a word or two, or cleaning up the Russian's grammar does not a unique sentence make! This still constitutes a copyvio. If we can rewrite the entireity of the article, we can solve this problem. I might be able to dedicate some cleanup time to it today, and I'll have a nice pic of my MAG-7 up soon. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, just trying to keep the Wikipedia where it belongs... - The Deviant 13:34, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite

I've rewritten this to hopefully help out a bit. I'll add a pic of the MAG-7M1 factory and MAG-7M1 in a short-barreled SBS configuration shortly. - The Deviant 02:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Pic of the MAG-7M1 factory (civilian config) is up. After I get my Form 1 back, will post an SBS version. Soon-seriously... - The Deviant 02:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Recent Vandalism

Due to this firearm's recent appearance in the video game, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, there has been acts of vandalism that including changing the name to "Swag-7" and "Fag-7". Just a heads up! Woundedkneecap (talk) 14:23, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

"Acronym Vandalism"

It seems that a troll has defaced the article by placing dozens of unnecessary (and downright false) acronyms all over the page, making it much harder to read. Oktayey (talk) 17:29, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Not sure if this sentence should be removed

I found the previous version of this sentence a little confusion, so I rewrote it as

"The civilian model is less representative of the original compact and hard hitting close quarters combat design."

I think altogether however both the original and changed sentences are sort of subjective. I wouldn't be opposed to removing this sentence altogether but don't feel confident on making that call. 2603:6010:2F00:7206:A198:4074:1FE5:91E9 (talk) 04:54, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
