[edit] Project Assessment

In addition to overall expansion, this article needs to be more direct and specific, in the very first sentence, about what the 4.5 mm mkr is. It may be obvious to the writer of the article, or to a reader with an interest in guns, but to someone like me who specializes in pre-modern history, I look at this and I immediately think - Is this a gun, or a type of ammunition? What does mkr stand for? What exactly is 4.5 mm? The diameter of the bullet? Please answer these sorts of basic questions as directly and as early in the article as possible.

Added link to cartridge page (which should have been done at the start, oops). As far as what 4.5mm is, that is already stated to be the bullet diameter in the article. Hope that helps. :) Tengu99 (talk) 01:07, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
