Watson's Wound

Does this article really need a paragraph discussing the mystery of Watson's wound? Jezail rifles have been mentioned countless times in fiction, how is this relevant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:61D5:9900:4DC8:F412:CAE2:8860 (talk) 21:13, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I must respectfully disagree completely. What is a “jezail” would never BE a topic were it NOT for the mention of its’ “famous” bullet striking the good, if fictional, Watson, in one or other of his redoubtable “limbs”. 72.45.6.37 (talk) 17:58, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Picture?

We need a better photograph of a good example of this type of gun. The ones I've seen were all long elegant weapons profusely decorated with silver pins or nails and brass plates. In fact works of ethnic art in their own right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.36.226 (talk) 22:19, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. I'll let you get hold of one and photograph it. Take several shots from different angles and try to make the backdrop either inconspicuous or appropriate. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 17:09, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A more better and bisible photo of the jezail would be nice. Multiple photos of the tribesmen hding the jezail would be nice and close ups of the guns features. Pashtunfacts (talk) 14:11, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the specific period in which it was in use.
