I've examined the articles.  They should have been speedy-kept because
"gives info useful to child pornographers" is an invalid and utterly
absurd reason for deletion -- we have articles on an enormous variety of
weapons that give info useful to terrorists, but we don't delete them in
spasms of self-loathing.

Then the articles should have been deleted because they are unsourced,
unverifiable, and unencyclopedic.  WP:NOT a random collection of code words.
