Talk:SIONICS

Name

SIONICS is an acronym for the full company name. It qualifies to be all-caps. Koalorka (talk) 22:14, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, maybe, but that's not referenced. I'll look and see if I can find some support. Okay, here: [1]. You can cite:book if you'd like. --Nukes4Tots (talk) 04:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

"The timing of the new silencer’s introduction to Vietnam was just right for business... The M-16s carried by these special units were retrofitted with SIONICS silencers. They soon reported increased lethality and accuracy in ambushes and targeted killings. In his out-of-print 1978 masterpiece, “Spooks,” former Harper’s editor Jim Hougan reports that Green Beret officers singled WerBell’s invention out for praise in Congressional budget hearings... Army rifles equipped with his silencers helped kill nearly 2,000 Vietcong in the first six months, and reduced the number of bullets per kill to one-point-three rounds... the SIONICS silencer was widely recognized as a huge advance in the science of killing. WerBell emerged from the shadows to become a patriotic cult hero to the fathers of those now agitating for silencer deregulation. In 1972, WerBell played a starring role in David Truby’s admiring study of these new tools and their uses, “Silencers, Snipers, and Assassins: An Overview of Whispering Death.”"

New company?

• The SIONICS name was adopted by Josh Katz, the owner of a small gun shop in Tucson, AZ. Operating out of The Armory on Pima, SIONICS currently assembles AR15 style rifles from parts purchased from various manufacturers; SIONICS marked receivers are made under an BATFE approved varience by a firearms manufactuer in California.

• SIONICS Weapon Systems currently manufactures AR-15 style rifles in Tucson, Arizona - www.sionicsweaponsystems.com

If there's no source for the connection between the old company and the new one I'd be inclined to delete all of this. Rezin (talk) 21:17, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

For some reason an editor keeps changing what I posted above. Please don't. The editor also altered the article text to read:

• SIONICS Weapon Systems has no relationship to the original SIONICS. SONICS Weapon Systems manufactures AR-15 style rifles in Tucson, Arizona

That's more acceptable than the original formulation, which implied a connection, so I'm fine with leaving it that way. Rezin (talk) 21:30, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
