In armed robberies, beating the victims with firearms is a more common way to complete the robbery, rather than to shoot or stab them.
and add this:

It's not good to mix infinitives and participles, and "to beat" would sound weird here. 175.39.61.121 (talk) 05:06, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Firearm description not correct
Description of "firearm" is not correct, although citation is correct it is out of context and applies to prohibited or controlled types of firearms. The better description is https://www.atf.gov/firearms/firearms-guides-importation-verification-firearms-ammunition-gun-control-act-definitions#:~:text=The%20term%20%E2%80%9CFirearm%E2%80%9D%20means%3A,muffler%20or%20firearm%20silencer%3B%20or Namely anything that can shoot a projectile by explosive means and is clarified to include the frame or receiver even if there is no barrel Pedia932 (talk) 20:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

- The term “firearm” is defined at 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(3) as:

- The frame or receiver of any such weapon. Any firearm muffler or firearm silencer. Any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm. Pedia932 (talk) 01:46, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

The current definition stated is closer to "Small Arms" not a firearm.
Change: A firearm is any type of gun designed to be readily carried and used by an individual
To: A firearm is a weapon which is designed to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive. 73.126.57.180 (talk) 23:42, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Not done: I agree with you, but it appears the entire article is written with that definition of firearm, despite the fact at least one of the three cited sources contradict it. I suggest you open a requested move instead. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 00:01, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
