Talk:Weapon Comparison/@comment-3089108-20141229214205

Could someone explain to me how weapon subcategories and types are determined, specifically with regard to secondaries? Is it simply a judgement call on the part of whoever is adding a weapon...? For example, the Embolist is listed under "Special" as a "Toxinspewer", while the weapon type on the Embolist page is "Pistol". Is there any method to this madness?
