I've removed the decimal point from "12 gauge". Shotguns, with the exception of the .410 are not named after decimal measurements of their bore diameters as most pistols and rifles are (e.g. .22LR and .40S&W). The 12 in 12 gauge signifies that it would take 12 lead balls of equal diameter to the bore of the weapon to produce 1 pound of lead. Therefore it is '12 gauge' and not '.12 gauge'. If 12 gauge were to be expressed as a decimal bore diameter (rifle style) it would be .729 Shane.Bell (talk) 09:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Third paragraph, first sentence.[edit]

Spelling error, "unability" should be inability.


Fourth paragraph[edit]

Grammatical error, "womens" should be women's and "gays" should be gays'.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.183.222.251 (talk) 23:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"unability" to "inability" was fixed; "womens" to "women's"; "gays" was, however, changed to "gay" per wide usage of "gay rights" and not "gay's rights" or "gays' rights". --SVTCobra 23:51, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
