My interest is mainly with 20th century small arms. Wikipedia is in my experience the first source for many people on this subject and I think it's vital to make sure the information they find here is correct.
My interest in firearms began at an early age. I can't tell how this came to be it just seems it always was. Since then I've never looked back and I continue to amass literature and do my own research into them, especially the mechanical engineering side and their practical and sometimes paradoxical application.
Here is my impression of Wikipedia:
There are five fingers on the human hand.[citation needed]
