Visually indistinct gun alias #7: Even more same weapons under different designations

Posted under Tags

BUR #19489 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias welrod_mk2 -> welrod
create implication welrod -> handgun
create implication welrod -> bolt_action

Welrod by itself is not ambiguous. The prefix Mk2 or such is way too specific to be used, while all Welrod pistol variants are extremely identical to each other. Same gun type under different slight alterations.
Once again, I found "duplicate" tag for the exact same weapon. Better prevent other users creating a lot of overly-specific tag for the same gun.

Well, the difference is the trigger guard, but apparently our users can't even tell those apart: post #5978359 and post #4817665 and a bunch of others were tagged with the mk2 tag.

BUR #19833 has been rejected.

create alias colt_canada_c7 -> m16

It is essentially the Canadian-produced variant of the M16. Nothing is visually distinct from the original one, except technical details in the barrel.
Don't feel like wanting to nuke this tag manually, but better prevent others from making redundant tags, despite most people know the weapon better under the name M16.

The C7 is a close copy of the M16A2, the rifle developed to replace the M16A1 in the United States military
