Requested move[edit]

I propose moving this article to CMG-1. The current name, "Colt Colt machine gun-1 machine gun", is utterly ridiculous. "CMG" stands for "Colt machine gun and the weapon is almost exclusivly known by that acronym, so no need for spelled out name. CAR-15 already uses a name like this. What do you think?--Patton^t/c 14:04, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just do it. Articles can be moved over redirects which don't have a history without administrative intervention. I don't think this is controversial, what with WP:NAME superceding the naming conventions at WP:GUNS if the simplest and most common title is not ambiguous.

Alright done. WIll remove requested move stuff.--Patton^t/c 18:29, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changed "M13 link" to "M27 link," the M13 is the link for the 7.62mm NATO cartridge, as used with the M60, M240, etc. The M27 is the 5.56mm version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.230.63.56 (talk) 06:34, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changed "M27 link" to "S-63 link". The M27 link did not exist when this gun was made and it used the same link as the Stoner 63 LMG which is the S-63. The link differs from the M27 in pitch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.198.82.221 (talk) 07:40, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CMG-3[edit]

Possible addition for a section?

Since CMG 1 and 2 were present, 3 seemed logical.MartinezMD (talk) 18:15, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
