Removal of name 'Buford'

This name only appears in the title of the Globalsecurity article, but not in the body of the article, and not at all in the Jane's article. It's believed to have actually been coined by Tom Clancy in his book Armored Cav: A Guided Tour of an Armored Cavalry Regiment and picked up on by others.

Heard it mentioned in new A-Team movie dealing with a tank that fits the bill of this Xiahou (talk) 00:52, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought 'Buford' was a Mike Sparks invention. Lots of Mike Sparks sympathizers at global security. Marcus Qwertyus 03:00, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change of manufacture of XM-35 identity from Rheinmetall to Watervliet Arsenal

The Xm-35 was developed and constructed by the Benet Lab of the Watervliet Arsenal from 1983 to meet the requirements of the mobile protected gun system.reference- http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-Armour-and-Artillery-Upgrades/105-mm-M35-low-recoil-gun-United-States.html And; http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA397903 page 21. It was the first cannon developed in the United states since WW1 but I cannot find the documentation at work. I will post it when I locate it. 19K5MPA8K8 (talk) 19:36, 28 December 2011 (UTC) 19K5MPA8K8 (talk) 19:36, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
