Renaming this article will set a precedent for weapon articles. On the other hand, we could use the [[Template:Title|Title template]] and not rename it directly. Which one is more suitable?

::There's nothing wrong with setting a precedent as there aren't too many weapon and vehicle articles with long-form names, most of them being from the games. Keep the short hand designation (example: ''current title < M41 SSR MAAW or M41 rocket launcher'') for the article's title and within the introductory paragraph and infobox, use the long-form. Having to get every little designation word for these articles correct is a real bitch. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | ::There's nothing wrong with setting a precedent as there aren't too many weapon and vehicle articles with long-form names, most of them being from the games.

==Formal Name?== | |||
Shouldn't the formal name (and thus page name) be the M41 Rocket Launcher? It seems unprofessional to name it by it's secondary nickname.[[User:The Ragin Pagan|The Ragin Pagan]] ([[User talk:The Ragin Pagan|talk]]) 02:17, 19 February 2018 (EST) | |||
