- 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)
