colour code signals the credibility of data:

















green: Jane's Information Group, producer, official dealer or army

read: among the best that you could get without examination of an actual weapon














red: just my best guess

read: calculation, guess based on graphics, interpolation of data































*: OB = open bolt position, CB = closed bolt position


































note: The „year“ is only an approximate info - sometimes, it's the date of design, sometimes the date of first production































note: Everything here is in metric measurements. Much of the – even greenish – data was originally given in inches. Many companies give lengths of barrels and such in inches without being exact, so a 11“ barrel might in fact be 11.25 inches long, but you'd read here 279 or 280mm as barrel length. Same with weights (pounds -> grams). I tolerated these inaccuracies because this page is primarily intended for comparison purposes.
