:Variants usually don't have their own page. Since the Halo 2 sniper is a variant of the Halo 1 sniper, they are on [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Matériel|the same page]].

It ''depends''. The rationale is that "as long as the variant provides a similar gameplay experience as the original model, the variant would not have its own page". Length, while a small factor to consider, is largely irrelevant. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  19:45, 12 August 2012 (EDT)

:::::The ones listed by ArchedThunder are variants of the original. For example, the MA5 rifle is the original; since it is modular, it can be configured for a B-variant (60 rounds), C-variant (32 rounds) or D-variant (not sure how this is different from C); all of which capable of owing to different gameplay experience... however little difference it is. This also applies to the M6 PDWS (not modular, but each variant is tailored for a specific role, capable of owing to different gameplay experience). This is, to say, different to the M45 since the two variants offer no difference in terms of gameplay; it is however aesthetically different but that is not noteworthy to award its own article. Of course, this is simply a Doylist approach; a Watsonian take on this would consider if there is a great historical significance of the weapon, such as that of the MA37.— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  08:27, 14 August 2012 (EDT)
