Weapon behavior describes the reference. AoA remix is an original proposal, not an implemented feature. Each image is embedded here. Watch opens its video directly, not a search. Preview means a video thumbnail rather than a separate weapon photograph. Chapter means the linked timestamp identifies the item; collection identifies an explicitly labeled multi-item showcase. Titles, sources and chapter metadata have been checked; this does not claim every video was watched in full. Source credits and detailed matching evidence remain in the media ledger.
