I was looking for information about my friends A5 for him and ended up finding it in the Encyclopedia LOL.

Sortof...
I wouldn't use it as a reference for a paper. It isn't a legitimate encyclopedia.
However, I do think that it is a collection of popular culture, and therefore, enclyclopedia is as good a word as any for it.

Yeah, I had pointed out a couple of months ago that there *wasn't* and entry, and BLAM, Tom put up a page within a couple of hours. He's definitely the man.

Hey everyone, I think it would be cool if we could "wikify" AGD into wikipedia.org (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page).

Since Tom Kaye already started a wiki, we as a forum should submit more information. Airgun Design should be the main wiki, while the automag, minimag, etc. should branch off of AGD.

i was reading about the FN 303 and saw this...

"Subsequent tests by Israel Police indicated that the 303's accuracy "decreased significantly" after about three hundred firings."

i was wondering how that could be possible?

encyclopedia:
a work that contains information on all branches of knowledge or treats comprehensively a particular branch of knowledge usually in articles arranged alphabetically often by subject

Wow, it is an encyclopedia. That suprised me. I suspect the social editable and ever changing nature of Wikipedia would make it not authoritative enough to refeance on a paper.

maybe the guys using the fn 303 forgot to change out the air tank....
