If this is the wrong forum, please move to where appropriate, thanks!

I've had a friend ask me several questions about "what does xxxx stand for" or "what's the proper word for xxxx?"

I just had to look up what M&P stood for (Military and Police) and stumbled across this firearms (and forum) acronym thread... Thought it might be useful.

The Firing Line Forums - FAQ: Web Acronyms / Firearms Terms
