Thanks for the spotlight!

I'm the creator & mod of !forgottenweapons@lemmy.world if you have any questions about our community I'll be glad to answer them!

I consider this at it's core to be a community for people who like learning. So even if you don't consider yourself a history buff or into guns (and that kind of thing) please stop by and poke your head in. We've got some really weird stuff, especially if you sort by top of all time.

Thank you for putting in the work and taking care of your community!

Thanks, I'm so appreciative for all the positivity towards the community I've seen so far. We're almost at the 500 member mark (in under 2 weeks!) and I haven't seen a single comment that needed mod action.

We're just now at the point where others are starting to post.

I managed to find this infographic specially regarding the Auto-5. Hopefully this is helpful.
