[edit] Is this weapon autmatic

Stand alone can this be used in full auto?

No, the lever on the left side is like a regular pump action shotgun's pump. King Toast —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.128.253.170 (talk) 13:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

The link here on the thing at the bottom calls it an XM26, the picture calls it an XM26, all the links and references call it an XM26, so wheres the X in the article? In the article name? Call me a traditionilist but I prefer using the real name for things rather than a made up or anticipated name (it is my understanding that the X gets lost when it gets fully deployed or leaves experimental stages or something, something which some weapons never got but others such as the M16, I suppose, did, but I'm rusty on modern weapons and their facts). Even if it does not use the X anymore, you might want to explain when that was lost. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 08:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

The “X” (obviously, ‘experimental’) designator was dropped approximately 2003 when the first M-26’s saw action simultaneously in Iraq and Afghanistan. ¡Hope that helps!Andering J. REDDSON (talk) 17:59, 21 May 2008 (UTC)Andy REDDSON

Incorrect, an experimental weapon can see service without losing the X in its designation. The experimental status only ends when the weapon has received its "Full Materiel Release." D.E. Watters (talk) 23:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
