"Having an edit reverted so rapidly", ok, now it feels like we're getting to the real meat of whats up. It seems it's not that you feel that the bulldog should be called a mortar so much as an edit made by you was re-edited in a matter of hours. And yes, that is annoying but you really need to move on from it. For starters, my motivation for this isn't personal. I strongly believe that in order for a wiki to function, it needs to be challenged from time to time. You need to be able to give a solid defence for every single thing you put here.

As for how many people agreed, what struck me was that no one said they thought it was a grenade launcher. All of them, even if only two said firmly that it was, suggested that they edged towards mortar. "I think of it is a miniature howitzer. It doesn't have true indirect fire capability but you really have to compensate for drop to use it will beyond point blank range." " Yup, it's pretty much a mortar." " The initial bulldog had far slower projectiles, far larger arc, and far bigger explosive radius. It slowly became what we know today, but initially, it had very mortar like qualities." " Internally, parts of the mesh of the weapon itself is called as a "mortar."" " Originally mortars were cannons meant to give the projectile a high ballistic arc. I'd think that description is more accurate as a grenade launcher has a smaller arc than a mortar."

Where in these replies is it suggested that the Bulldog is a grenade launcher?
