Pointless disambiguation
Edit
Isn't this completely pointless since there's a hatnote on top of each pointing at the other? All it does is assure everybody has a splash page instead of half of them. It's generally bad wiki policy to do this: see WP:TWODABS — Ilvandel (talk to me) 22:17, November 13, 2012 (UTC)

- This begs the question why have a disambiguation if A: Nothing links to it and B: Half the people searching (Or really everybody) are looking for one of the two instances, and in the event of the wrong instance they're already on a page with a hatnoted disambiguation to the other option? If Hellfire were moved back here then nothing would have to be changed save the bl2 weapons which should point at bl2 — Ilvandel (talk to me) 23:28, November 13, 2012 (UTC)
Remove disambiguation because of "Hellfire" vs "HellFire"
Edit
Should we remove the disambiguation? As the title implies, the weapons don't actually have the same name. We could just:
That said, please consider moving any of these two pages with care, as they are one some our most linked to pages... happypal (talk • contribs) 12:02, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
