Should we standardise using decimal points for foreign weapon names with commas in them like this? "5,56A-91M" is an incomplete translation. Evil Tim (talk) 21:50, 1 December 2013 (EST)

As it seems to me, if comma is a part of an official name of the weapon, it will be better to use comma. Greg-Z (talk) 22:11, 1 December 2013 (EST)
Well, really it's just part of the weapon's name in that language, in my view; the name is "5(decimal)56A-91M". Leaving the comma is like leaving a weapon's name in Cyrillic. Evil Tim (talk) 22:14, 1 December 2013 (EST)
I understand, your words make sense. If Cyrillic letters in the name were such that doesn't match the Latin ones, they would be transliterated (like DShK-12.7 for ДШК-12,7), so the symbol for decimal also must be used according to the language that is currently used.
