The amount of users against this BUR is surprisingly high, regardless of technicality and legitimate reason. I hate it when people identify type of real world weapons incorrectly.
I know I'm probably ruffling more feathers than it's worth, but...
I've noticed a trend these past few months of arms and armor folk trying to enforce technicality in tagging. These BURs fail for the same reason:
They're non-visual technicalities.
Although we borrow some organizational and methodology-in-wiki techniques from them, Danbooru is not Wikipedia. We are not academically cataloging things based on concept and classification. For example, when I tag something harpy it doesn't imply european mythology, western mythology, greek mythology, and avian all at once as some sites do. We laugh at those sites. Nobody searches european mythology - it's not even a tag because of how useless it would be for searching - and wants pics of a bird girl jackin' a dude off with her talons. well maybe me every other tuesday
For an armor based example, take a look at what and why I did forum #185214 way back when. Approach tagging from the mentality of "how does this help someone with a cursory-at-best knowledge of firearms find this image", not "how many kudos on /k/ will I get".
