No, I'm just saying that isn't proof, and I think people need to accept that Wikipedia is not a factual source of information. Think of the people who edit Wikipedia, and wonder why it tends to be a good source of tech information. However, anything non-tech related such as military history, I would only use it to find links to other sources.

Now, the first thing that article says is "This article does not cite any references or sources." Good start. Now, let's look at what the article really looks like:

The French GIGN's knife has a liquid mercury vial hidden inside to help automatically orient the blade forward when thrown[citation needed]. The Soviet Spetznaz (special forces) throwing knife is actually a blade gun[citation needed], which uses a very strong coil spring hidden in the handle to propel the blade forward on the press of a button.

Doesn't look good. If you tried to find more information on that, your searches would lead you to a knife enthusiast forums where they find this entire paragraph to be bogus information. Personally, I'd trust knife enthusiasts on the issue of knives over some random Wikipedia editor. Continue searching for this magical french knife, and you won't find anything.

Taking information that seems wrong to begin with, and quoting a Wikipedia article which itself has no references, just isn't proof. I'm sure if you search hard enough, you could find a battle somewhere where throwing knives were used, but I doubt you'll find anything where it was part of standard training. If so, I'd be interested in reading it.

Ya I wasnt to sure about that french knife, but the Spetsnaz do actually have a ballistic knife, although its technically not thrown.
And im content with knowing that Spec Ops are trained with throwing knives, but I just dont care enough to try and prove it to someone who doesnt want to believe it.

Bah, I see this has turned into something different..
Ok, let me get it back on track.. I hate this idea just as I hate the grenade launcher, RPG and 3xfrags..

What the hell is wrong with the RPG? Its inconsistent with its aim quite often. Id say its a fair weapon.

[gekko]

Looks like this actually takes the place of frag grenades, judging by the location of the HUD icon.

[Bube]

The RPG turns the game into too much of a Half-Life deathmatch. Like I said, I like the game because it's a bit different than classic over-the-top shooters. The RPG ruins it.

And I think I'm probably the most-killed person by that stupid grenade-throwing at the start of the round. All the way from the other side of the map. I just die in some freaking impossible ways!

It's been announced that you can play in 3rd person as well. Interesting.

I agree with the end of the video.

I was reading or watching or listening... who knows these days, and its funny how MW has gained so much in 2 years. When it came out in 2007, it lost most game of the year awards to Bioshock/Mario Galaxy, but now it is the end all be all of games...

Anyhow, I think may skip this one. Just gonna stray from shooters for a bit.

[Angrist]

What was Bioshock again?

The only one I played of those 3 is Super Mario Galaxy. Actually I played it last night, got two stars.
