Minor items
editAnother interesting article! A month's development, that was quick. Here are a couple points:
- "the traditional bazooka's weapon"? Isn't the bazooka a weapon? Is that redundant? Perhaps, "more armor penetration than that of the traditional bazooka". Even "traditional" is kind of odd. Conventional? Established?
- In the sentence, "to use the HVAR or napalm;[8] with the end of the war in 1953", that semi-colon should probably be a period.
- Which planes carried the Ram? The photos show the Ram loaded on a Corsair and a Bearcat, but neither those nor any other planes are mentioned in the text.

Major discrepancies
editIt's odd that the information credited to Ms Babcock's Magnificent Mavericks and the major Caltech historical documents on their Anti-Tank Aircraft Rocket (ATAR a.k.a. RAM) program state contrary "facts". Are we to disbelieve the Caltech reports of their own rocket programs? I hope some of the other editors will work with me on this, especially if you possess a copy of Mavericks.Magneticlifeform (talk) 06:12, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- More specifically, can anyone confirm that page 181 of Mavericks actually claims that RAM can penetrate 24 or 25" of steel armor plate?Magneticlifeform (talk) 06:57, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- Can confirm. HERE--MandolinMagi (talk) 03:49, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
