Firearm Specs turns gun titles into Joomla article tables

Firearm Specs parses firearm and ammunition product titles into displayed specifications and cost-per-round figures.

Firearm Specs is a content plugin and module that extracts details such as model, caliber, capacity, barrel length and ammunition quantity from product-title text, then displays them in Joomla pages.

This task arises on catalogue, review and price-comparison sites where the same information appears repeatedly in titles. Joomla core can publish article text, custom fields, category descriptions and modules, and template overrides can control how manually entered fields are presented. Those options do not, by themselves, interpret an unstructured title or calculate ammunition cost per round. This extension goes beyond core by parsing the title through the GunsNPrices library and supplying tags such as {firearmspecs} and {costperround} for articles, category descriptions and Custom modules.

It is aimed at English-language US firearm retailers, catalogues, publishers and comparison sites with many product titles to process. A general Joomla site, or a site that enters specifications manually in custom fields, has little reason to install it.

The listing marks it as a free download in the article elements section. It says Joomla 5 and 6 with PHP 8.1 or later are supported, and describes the package as GPL v2 or later, with separately licensed parser data. The developer claims coverage and accuracy figures, but we have not tested them; unusual naming, non-US titles and parsing errors deserve checking. The page shows no reviews, so it offers no directory track record to assess. Confirm the output, override requirements, documentation, update/support arrangements and licensing fit before deployment.
