Because the texture in the game resembles the weapon used by the protagonist in a game I played, 《铁道战争》(Railway Wars), the weapon there was named "巴雷特反器材狙击步枪" in Chinese, which can be translated into English as "Barrett sniper rifle." This is a translation joke I made for personal use. Your repeated inquiries about the issue have drawn my attention. Is there something inappropriate or offensive about this translation? For example, does it violate any community rules or conventions that I'm unaware of? If so, please explain, and I'll remove the translation.
Another reason for using this translation is that a few years ago, in the old 1.3 version of the community Chinese translation, it was translated as "巴雷特(Barrett)," which was an inaccurate translation since "anti-materiel rifle" doesn't directly refer to "Barrett." However, I found this error amusing.
