Well that list is quite achievable - the only slightly harder one is the Spanish Civil War. Although funnily it is probably 95% completed by just combining all the firearms used in the other 3 wars in the list.

Not to mention the foreign troops deployed to, for instance, the Russian Civil War. Did you know that there were about a quarter of a million troops from about 10-15 different national armies that intervened? I mean US Army deployed ~25,000 troops. British and French Armies together sent ~50-75,000. Imperial Japanese Army sent ~75,000 by itself. Then there were the Czechs, Canadians, Greeks, Romanians, Italians ...
Also, a really big hint of potential 'troll-ness' is the use of the term 'War of 1812' by a European. That's pretty much a term used only by Americans, who couldn't have cared less about what was going on in the rest of the world at the time, and it was just a minor sideshow to what should have been called the First World War, running from about 1792 through 1815. Or, actually off and on since the late 17th century through 1815 or so...

Ok, skip the Russian Civil War then.
I was just hoping some website would have listed this by now ....
What would a European call it then? Is there another name?
Yes, perhaps so, but if you want to limit yourself to the 19th century, Napoleonic War would be to broad a term and misleading.
I've actually been thinking, why aren't the Napoleonic wars WW1? Then WW1 WW2, and WW2 WW3? Maybe even the war on terror can be considered the beginning of WW4.
Also, isn't WW2 justa continuation of WW1? So maybe they should be the same.
Being philosophical, are we?
No, he's just attempting word-play to make his statement seem sophisticated.
Did you not check out the spoiler in his post?Oh, Mauser did a couple in 1998.
But I'm sure your comment was sarcasm.
The 1911A1 is a great pistol even these days, solid, reliable and hard hitting. If you want cheap ammo costs I hear the CZ52 is a good option.
The War of the Spanish Succession and the Seven Years' War could probably be included too.
But then there would be little point in asking what guns were used, as gun usage was very small and the difference between guns were not large either, as well as gun model names being mostly unknown.
No, i do not. Please inform me.
There would appear to be a significant difference between those wars and those i asked about.
