Sorting out ammunition_belt

Posted under Tags

BUR #14439 has been rejected.

create alias ammunition_belt -> ammunition_belt_(firearms)
remove alias ammunition_belt -> ammunition_belt_(firearms)
create alias belt_feed -> ammunition_belt_(firearms)
create alias belt-fed -> ammunition_belt_(firearms)
deprecate ammunition_belt

Continuing from topic #22584. This tag is just too ambiguous. I don't like the qualifier, so if someone has suggestions please say so, but as it stands it's just too prone to mistags for bandolier. Even a glance at the tag shows that there's a shitton of mistags currently, it's a complete mess.

"(firearms)" is the qualifier that wikipedia uses.

Also aliasing the existing belt feed and the utility belt-fed to it, for findability, and because imo it doesn't much matter if the ammunition belt in question is attached to a gun or not, but if there's disagreement on that I'll separate the request for voting.

create alias belt_feed -> belt-fed_weapon

The alternative is just getting rid of the distinction, and using belt-fed weapon for when an ammunition belt is actually being used on a weapon, because let's get real, given the current usage nobody's ever going to tell apart one from the other.

I support all the BURs, captain. post #5978913 shows ammunition belt which is not made to be inserted into firearms. The belt-fed weapon is extremely useful to describe the RPD, M60, PKM and others.

Bandoliers can also be used to hold grenades and (jokingly) cans and healing potions. +1 on belt feed -belt-fed weapon.

Note that Wikipedia calls it "belt (Firearms)", not "ammunition belt (firearms)". This might make a difference.
