Banukis517: /* Manhunter shotgun */

Hey again, Banukis. Sorry for replying late, but I do not have the 1987 version of Man on Fire, nor have I seen it. There are a few other users that probably can help you like Ben41, he seems to own alot of movies, and probably can make a page if he has it.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 17:53, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey can u send Ben 41's link so i can send him a message about it.

Sorry, I don't have this movie. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 06:39, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Im just wondering cause ive been seeing the movie alot, and when that happens someone usually creates a page for it. And i also indentified in the movie, and One of Them is a Beretta 92SB-C.

And a Beretta 84F and a Beretta 89F Target pistol.

== Sig Sauer P220 ==

Hey Banukis, as cool as a screen used Sig Sauer P220 for Heat would be, that would be a request you might want to take up with [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]. He is our armorer who has provided us with tons of great gun images in the past, and he has even got high quality photos of screen used guns used in many of the the movies on this site. You can send him a request for Robert De Niro's screen used P220, but I'm not going to guarantee he'll get a photo of it, or have it up anytime soon since he is a very busy man, but he is full of many great suprises, and may be able to get ahold of the gun you're looking for. Best regards.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 06:16, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey Thank you Alienqueen....I will talk to Moviepropmaster. Sometimes i just cant tell who uploads all the pictures now. Well now I know.

== Manhunter shotgun ==

The shotgun used by Dollarhyde in [[Manhunter]] is a Remington 870 and not a Mossberg. The Remington 870 has a rounded ejection port, which wasn't clearly seen before in the screencaps, but I've uploaded Bluray shots for better clarification. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 07:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
:Also [[Jim Zubiena]] who trained William Peterson for Manhunter, said that they used his own personal 870 for the film.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 18:58, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Oh Sorry i just thought at first glance it was a mossberg. Hey can you upload a picture of the Sig Sauer P220 of the screen used version by robert De niro in Heat??

==US Navy Mark 12 MOD X Special Purpose Rifle==
Hi I was referred by MT2008 that you may have access to a MK 12 SPR or a similar weapon. If you have access to an image to add to the Mk 12 SPR section of the M16 page that would be appreciated. The current image has a watermark and is a graphic from somewhere and probably copyrighted so It would be cool if that image could be replaced. thanks, -[[User:AdAstra2009]]

Well thanks for looking into it, I appreciate it -[[User:AdAstra2009]]

: Check with Mike he has them in inventory. -[[User:Phoenixent |Steve]] 06:42, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

==YES!==

Thank you SO much! Those look great, and actually, they look very close to the ones that have appeared in quite a few movies. We can start replacing the two-tone SIG pics that we have on our other pages with these immediately! Again, I ''greatly'' appreciate you doing this for me. How will I ever repay you?

Out of curiosity, since you told me that they usually don't fit, how did you make them work together? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==Re: MP5A5==

Huh, that's interesting. I always figured Stembridge would have mostly -90 series guns that looked just like those "MP5s" that appear in so many productions they've rented to. Any idea why those HK94s were never converted further to make them look like more realistic MP5s? As my ''[[Air Force One]]'' page shows, Stembridge basically left those guns as-is well into the 1990s.

Thanks for the MP5A5 picture...I was actually close to replacing it myself (albeit with something from a Google image search). And yes, I'm sure more people than me appreciate them! At least, I hope so. You're pretty much the most important person we've got when it comes to gun images. I mean, how many sites out there get to have pictures of the same prop weapons used in many films?

==Thanks for the new pictures==

You've uploaded a lot of good pictures recently...I especially like the S&W 4506 and the SIG P220 Sport (is that the one from Cinema Weaponry that's appeared in several movies?) I thought of taking a picture of my own personal 4506 for a while, but gave up because I knew I couldn't take one as good as what you could do. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

Thanks for the pics, they are great- Beeteles

==One other thing...==

I know I keep asking for stuff from you lately, but this time it's talk only.

I just finished working on the ''[[Air Force One]]'' page for this site. That movie features some type of short-barreled AK which looks just like the one from ''[[True Lies]]''. Here's a picture:

[[Image:AFO-shortyAK-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]

The next time you talk to Harry Lu, would you mind asking him what these guns are and who owns them (Stembridge?) Thanks! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==Re:==

The new pictures are really cool, as usual. I especially love the M16A1 with A2 handguards picture, because there are a lot of Hollywood movies featuring guns with that config, and it's great that we now have a picture to prove to our visitors how you sneaky armorers have deceived so many of us common folk action movie fans with those fake M16A2s! Haha, just kidding. Anyway, how did you get your hands on a Diemaco? Remember Al Vrkljan, the Canadian armorer who helped me out on ''[[The Incredible Hulk (2008)]]''? He told me that Diemaco/Colt Canada wouldn't sell any of their guns to his company or any civilian companies, so where did it come from?

Also, you brought up an interesting point on the ''[[American Gun (2006)]]'' page...as an armorer who works in the film industry, how do you feel about the anti-gun attitudes that seem so prevalent in Hollywood? Does it ever frustrate you and make you not want to rent your guns out to people who are so overtly anti-RKBA? I've always wondered how armorers feel about the people they work with.

Appreciate the effort on the Type 84 and two-tone P226 pics. Whenever you get a chance!

== Oh, yes, and one other request...==

I have another request, this one a bit more unusual. I recently did a page for ''[[2 Fast 2 Furious]]'', which features a two-tone SIG P226 of West German manufacture that has a stainless frame and a regular black slide and barrel. It looks like the armorer just combined two existing guns to make it (since the two-tone P226s usually have black frame and stainless slide), and I'd love to have a picture of something identical for my page. So if you ever get out those two P226s that you photographed for IMFDB back in June, do you mind combining this:

[[Image:SigP226.jpg|thumb|none|250px|]]

..and this...

[[Image:SigP226Nickel.jpg|thumb|none|250px|]]

...to make this?

[[Image:2F2F-P226-10.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]
[[Image:2F2F-P226-13.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]

...and then taking a picture of it for me? Also, if you put the slide and barrel from the stainless P226 on the frame of the black P226, you'd have a gun identical to the one from ''[[Face/Off]]'' which we could use for that page.

:Now THAT is news to me. I'm really surprised...finishes really make the fit of the parts THAT difficult? Wow. I don't think the gun above is a factory job because the two-tone P226s that SIG has sold are always black frame and stainless slide, not the other way around. Do you by chance know who supplied the weapons for ''[[2 Fast 2 Furious]]''?

:Thanks for the info, as always.

==Re: Back for a bit==

I do think you're right and that there are some SKS rifles in ''[[Platoon]]'' (which may or may not be Chinese Type 56 copies, for all I know). I own that movie on DVD, so as soon as I get back to my place, I'm gonna have to pop it in my laptop and watch again to be sure. Also, thanks for backing me up on the CAR-15 variants in the film - I was pretty sure they were 653s, and I know that particular model was exported in large numbers to U.S. allies during the 1970s (if you ever check out any Arab-Israeli war photos from the news, even today, you'll see many IDF personnel using them).

I was also suspicious of the "MAC-9" page, because I have never heard of that variant. On the other hand, I had no idea that the 9mm variant of the MAC-10 was called the "MAC-10/9"; I've usually just heard it referred to as a MAC-10. I figure "MAC-9" was just somebody butchering the spelling of "M11/9", which has appeared in lots of movies (I made the entry for that gun under the MAC-10 page myself, though someone else put down - inaccurately - that it was used in ''[[Blue Streak]]'').

Sorry to hear Josh Brolin broke a gun...indeed, how DO you bend a trigger guard? Then again, he's had some issues with the law lately, so maybe it's not too surprising. What film is he working on that required him to carry a Police Chief Special, anyway? Some period piece, I take it? I don't know how frustrating it is to be an armorer, but I can imagine...I mean, if you've rented out dozens of guns to one production, doesn't that make you lose your nerve to think how much those guns must be getting tossed around, even with armorers on-set to supervise their use? Also, remember when you sent me that picture of guns to ID from your vault? How many did I get right?

That's cool if you can get a picture of a Chinese Tokarev. Later. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==Long-barreled AK under-folder==

Here is the gun from ''[[The X-Files]]'' I mentioned to you. Found these on a fan site for the show. They're not great quality, but you can see it pretty well:

[[Image:X-files-Type84-4.jpg|thumb|800px|none|]]
[[Image:X-files-Type84-3.jpg|thumb|800px|none|]]
[[Image:X-files-Type84-2.jpg|thumb|800px|none|]]
[[Image:X-files-Type84.jpg|thumb|800px|none|(This one is from a different episode)]]

It's clearly an under-folder, it has a long barrel, but it also has what appears to be a .223 mag. And it seems to have a hooded front sight in the first pic. Any idea what this might be? It's appeared in several episodes of the show from a couple of seasons, and I always thought it was a Type 84 under-folder fitted with the barrel from an RPK clone. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

::Mike Sudrow is listed on IMDB as having worked on a few episodes of ''[[The X-Files]]''. Since the show lasted so long (nine years), I imagine they probably had many, many different armorers depending on the season/filming location.

::As far as Canadian armorers go, Al Vrkljan of Movie Armaments Group was on here a couple months ago. He corrected me on the ''[[The Incredible Hulk (2008)|Incredible Hulk]]'' page by telling me that, interestingly enough, Diemaco/Colt Canada won't sell its weapons to film armorers in Canada! He also told me more about those mystery grenade launchers we were discussing earlier, plus he updated the page with more guns that I had missed. I really hope he comes back; he said he might be able to get some pictures of the launchers for us.

==Re:Re:Sahara==
As far as the source goes, I believe Crowntower Limited supplied the weapons that were used in ''[[Sahara]]''. I say that based on a couple of deductions: Sascha Robey was one of the armorers who worked on ''[[Casino Royale]]'' as well as ''[[Sahara]]'', Crowntower is listed in the credits of ''[[Casino Royale]]'' (but not ''[[Sahara]]'') as the weapons supplier, and finally, if you look at our ''[[Casino Royale]]'' page, the AKs in that film top look identical to the one in ''[[Sahara]]'' that we were talking about. Perhaps this Sascha Robey rented the same guns for two films.

:OK, you know what? My eyes ''do'' suck! I just stood way, way back from my monitor and squinted, and now I see that it's not a hooded Norinco sight; it's just the angle makes it appear circular. You are right; it can't be a Type 84, or anything that uses Type 84 parts. And I'm guessing that also means I could be wrong about the ''[[Casino Royale]]'' AKs, too.

:It's kinda strange, though...I wouldn't have figured British armorers would use civilian AK variants that were essentially geared towards the U.S. firearms market.

==RE:==

First of all, cheers for the update on the Type 84 picture. There's no hurry; I understand if it takes a while to get the appropriate mags (since obviously, a Type 84 doesn't look very different from a Type 56 without them).

Second, while I don't speak for everyone on here, I can say that I personally do not have any problem with you replacing pictures of guns on this site (even those that I uploaded) with any that you took. Nor do I see why anyone else would. The only reason I can imagine anyone getting offended would be if they went to the same effort you do to get the guns and photograph them on their own. But pretty much everyone else on here just uploads pictures they copied from other gun sites, in some cases ''airsoft'' web sites (like that picture we used to have of the SP89, which was just an airsoft MP5K fitted with an SP89 handguard from DenTrinity; terrible!). And it doesn't take much time or effort to copy and upload someone else's work.

Additionally, your gun photos are obviously of superior quality to anything else on here, and they're of guns that have actually appeared in movies (possibly the same movies as the pages they're on), so as far as I am concerned, there really isn't any reason why we can't replace any existing photos of guns with the ones you've taken. In fact, I would encourage you to ''not'' be so timid in the future when it comes to replacing photos. If you want an example of what I mean by this, take a look at the [[Armalite AR-18]] page. Your AR-18 picture is way better than any of those on the page, so I don't see any reason why you can't just remove some of the others (maybe keep ONE of the other photos of the gun with the scope, and even that could be replaced if you took an equivalent picture).

One thing I will point out, though: I have sometimes used pictures on my pages that are from the web site of Rick Washburn's company Weapons Specialists, Inc. (http://www.weaponspecialists.com/index.php). They provided the guns for ''[[I Am Legend]]'', so the page for that movie now features pictures of the guns used in the film that I copied and uploaded from them (including the tan-framed Mark 23). In cases like that, I'd prefer those particular photos stay up (you'll know them because I always provide links and info mentioning where they're from) because they feature the actual movie guns, and they're decent quality. Besides that, I don't have any problem with you replacing any and all photos of guns on this site with yours.

==Chinese Type 56==

First of all, I GREATLY appreciate the photo you took of one of the ''[[Goldeneye]]'' AKs for me. I didn't know you had access to any British armories?

However, I have one question: Do you think it's really appropriate to classify the Chinese Type 56 rifles with stamped receivers as "AK-47" and "AKS-47" clones, as opposed to AKM/AKMS derivatives? I realize that the Type 56s with stamped receivers lack just about all of the other features of the AKMs (including the muzzle break, ribbed receiver cover, rate reducer, grip rails, narrower front sight, etc.), but I've usually heard them described as AKM copies simply to distinguish them from the earlier milled-receiver versions. I know this is an over-simplification of sorts because the Type 56s aren't really orthodox AK-47s or AKMs (they're more like a weird hybrid version), but I figured it would be more appropriate.

:Well, I would say I know the differences between the two. I must point out that I own a Chinese AK (mine was imported by Golden State Arms and simply has 'AK47S 7.62x39mm - Made in China' stamped on the receiver). I was simply curious whether the presence of a stamped receiver on the Type 56 made it worthy of being designated an AKM variant or not.

:Personally, I think the best bet might be to literally just create a new sub-entry for the Type 56 under the [[AK-47]] page and then we can focus on finding any and all movies that feature the Type 56 and putting them under there. This would reflect best the fact that the Type 56 is sort of a weird hybrid AK-47/AKM with distinctly Chinese characteristics (such as the hooded front sight), which most other AK derivatives (like the Maadis) don't have.

::Haha, no offense taken, just wanted you to know I'm not a complete newbie when it comes to AKs, though obviously you completely blow me out of the water. Anyway, I would definitely appreciate the Type 84 pic whenever you get a chance. Not sure if there's anything else I need at the moment...but I would strongly encourage you to just take pictures of whatever you can get your hands on. As I've said, it's really great that we have you because this site is full of pictures that are copied from sites like world.guns.ru or (in some cases) AIRSOFT websites (i.e. the SP89 picture that we used to have before I replaced it).

::BTW, these are some incredible pics you've gotten us lately, moreso than usual. How on earth did you get that Romanian AIMS from "44 Minutes"? Do you know Thell Reed, too? Also, I'm going to do a LITTLE bit of additional work on the [[AK-47#Type 56|Type 56]] entry, and I think I'm also gonna ditch the AKS-47 one for now (simply because there don't seem to be any movies I'm aware of that have actual milled-receiver Russian AKS-47s or close copies) and move all the Type 56-1 entires down. If you disagree, you can revert (or partially modify) the edits and I won't mind. Also, good work on the [[RPG-7]] article getting the Type 69 mentioned (it's something I wanted to do myself - mostly because "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" also has a Type 69).

==Re: Editing Dogs of War==

Thanks for the info. I've seen those guns in a whole bunch of movies and I always wondered what they were, who made them, and why. I think they've also appeared in a couple episodes of ''[[The A-Team]]'' and a Chuck Norris movie or two.

I have some great screenshots of the fake Uzis which I took for my ''[[Raw Deal]]'' page (I've been meaning to work on it for ages, but so far, I just never have managed to get around to it). Here they are:

[[Image:Vlcsnap-59410.jpg|thumb|none|400px|]]

[[Image:Vlcsnap-59747.jpg|thumb|none|400px|]]

== Re: image ==

Sorry for the mixup. Feel free to replace the image with a better one if you have one handy. It's good to have a professional armourer on the site to help out, you've been doing some good work so far. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 10:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC) Orca1_9904

Sure, you can re-post the CZ99 pic. It isn't "mine"; I took it from world.guns.ru, which is where many of the photographs of guns on this site come from (as you can imagine, that's why I'm happy to have someone like you who is willing to give us original photos, especially when they're of actual movie guns)

== Hey ==

Hey MoviePropMaster, I'm Alienqueen11, and I seen the images you have uploaded, and they're great. I also want to know if you can do me a favor, if you can upload a picture of a [[Remington 870]] with Ghost Ring Sights and a High Capacity Tube like the one in the screenshot below for the [[Dawn of the Dead (2004)]] page, I would greatly appreciate it, and great work so far.
[[Image:DotD_Mossberg2.jpg|thumb|none|350px|]]

== Thanks ==

Thanks for complitementing my knowledge on guns, I also reverted a version of one of your MP5 pictures because someone copied over it with an airsoft image, I really wish some people would checked the thing while they're uploading an image to make sure the name isn't already used to avoid mistakes like this. And once again, thanks for your contributions and keep up the good work. Alienqueen11.

== Heartbreak Ridge M16's ==

I just saw ''[[Heartbreak Ridge]]'' on TV this afternoon, and all the [[M16 rifle series|M16]]'s I saw on-screen were the A1 variant, complete with bolt-forward assist buttons at the rear of the upper recievers. Even saw one fitted with an [[M203 grenade launcher]] used by one of the Recon Marines under Gunnery Sergeant Highway's command.

[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 08:01, 22 July 2008 (UTC) Orca1_9904
- He might want to look at my page and see they weren't ''all'' M16A1s.

==Question==
[[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]: Hi, I was just wondering how is it you take a picture of a gun and get a perfectly white clear background? What method is used to get that effect? My other question is that on the [[Hollow Point]] page I made recently, did I get the AK varient right? I figured I'd ask you as you seem to be the AK pro on the site. Thanks.
(My list of pages is on my profile if you feel like checking any of my other work as well.)

==M14 rifle==
I've noticed that the M14 and M21 rifle pictures on this site aren't really that great, is there any chance you could take some good shots? The pictures now are blurry, or black and white.

==37mm Launcher==
Thanks for fixing up that page, I was told by MT2008 it was a Colt Launcher, I guess it was a Cobray. Finding the pictures of them was probably the hardest thing on the page. Do you think we should keep the M203 to launcher comparison picture or is it irrelevant? -GM

::I built the colt launcher page based on what MT said, but your input greatly helped it. It's a shame taking professional pictures is so complex. The best I have is photoshop and an erase brush. I have a Norinco Type 54 pistol and I wanted to put pictures of it on the site soon. I'm not bad with editing, it should come out okay. I just need to find the time to do it. The M14 rifle pics came out great, let me know if you get your hands on an M21. I'll have plenty of films to be corrected in the future, my to do list touches the sky. One or two every friday or saturday. Stay cool. -GM

==Bren 10 "Peregrine Falcon"==
:Here's a tricky task, do you think you could find a Bren 10 "Peregrine Falcon"? Aparently it is what John Practice uses in [[Last Action Hero]] according to user input, and I can't find a good picture of it. Until I do find a good picture, I'll have to keep my horrible AR-24 picture I had on their before. If it isn't a Bren 10 PF, I'd assume you of all people would shoot me straight.
[[Image:StarMegastarLastActionHero.jpg|thumb|none|400px|This is the picture of him with the Bren 10 "Peregrine Falcon". His is a tutone model, but I'm not that picky. If both can be had, it would make a nice page in the Bren 10 gun section.]]
==M1911/M1911A1==
::I apoligize for asking one more thing of you, but the M1911 and M1911A1 pistols are infamous works of art in the firearms world, commonly used in films. We got a repro M1911 picture (modernized), a Springfield M1911A1 (when Colt M1911A1 is the genuine picture desired), another M1911A1 with pachmyr grips (better than springfield, but see how it sticks out on Platoon? It's ''too'' modern) So is their any chance you could find a genuine (or prefered, an ''authentic'' reproduction) of a Colt M1911 and Colt M1911A1 to snap some shots of, that would be awesome. I trust you know them apart, your a pro. Thanks. Good luck. -GM

==Re:Last Action Hero==
I saw [[Last Action Hero]] when I was young and loved it. Now, it is still one of my favorites. I like how it makes fun of action movies, by showing how Arnold can fire a billion rounds from a Desert Eagle and cars just explode for no reason. I'll fix those problems you mentioned. Your saying they are more likely civilian TEC-9s instead of TEC-DC9's? What physical traits help determine this, just the sling? And they were firing full-auto so they were probably converted.

== Hi! ==

Still no replacement grip for the M70?

Shame, it looks strange with that grip - I'm used to seeing them on M76s and M72s... which reminds me: about that mystery long barreled AK - I know that Crvena Zastava makes under-folder RPKs, namely the M72A (7.62 - based on M70), and the M90A (5.56 - based on an assault rifle of the same designation). The under-folder RPKs (those with an "A") have removable bipods (the standard, solid-stock ones have fixed), so w/ the folding stocks and w/o bipods they would look like those mystery AKs, no? Also, one more improtant fact: unlike the Yugo AKs (which have 3 holes), the Yugo RPKs have TWO holes in the forward grip (like the original AKs). http://pookieweb.dyndns.org:61129/Yugo/pics/m72a.jpg

I hope this was hepful, keep up the good work!

== Request ==

I'm sorry to ask, but if you get the chance, can you upload a [[Beretta M92F|Beretta M92FS]]? I know the ones on the site are already good enough, but I want to see how great one by you would be. I know you're already busy, so don't do it if you're too busy, and if you can't upload it, it's okay. Anyway, welcome back, the new pictures for the M16 and M14 are great. [[User: Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]]

== RE:870 ==

I think you're right about the Mossberg sights on the 870, they seem to match those on the Mossberg more then anything.

Here the picture I had on the page when I thought his shotgun was a Mossberg 500:
[[Image:Mossberg500.gif|thumb|none|335px|[[Mossberg 500]] 12 ga. with optional ghost ring sights.]]

And this is the image I have on the page now, seeing it now, they look nothing like the sights in the screencap:
[[Image:870p.jpg|thumb|none|335px|Remington 870 Police Magnum with magazine extention tube and ghost ring sights.]]

And it looks like the armorer must have put the Mossberg sights on the Remington:
[[Image:DotD Mossberg2.jpg|thumb|none|300px]]

Hope this helps, and thanks for the favor, I appreciate it. [[User: Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]]

== Done ==

Don't worry, he won't be able to edit again, if it happens again, I'll be sure to make so only registered users can edit the [[Commando]] page. [[User: Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]]

==Karabiner 98k sniper rifle==
:I recently noticed while working on the [[Saving Private Ryan]] page that we have no sniper rifle varient Kar98k rifle pic. I've noticed you [[Enemy at the Gates]] page is in need of this picture as well too. I apoligize for adding yet another gun to your to-do list but just let me know if you find one. -GM45

==Re: FINALLY==

Excellent! I already have a use for the 870 folder, too - just put it on the ''[[RoboCop]]'' page (which features an identical weapon). And thanks for the UMP-45 and the Gen 2 Glock-17 as well! There are so many movies that feature Gen 2 Glocks, yet all we have is that stock picture of a Gen 3. When I get back to my place later today, I'm going to start using your Glock in every movie page that features such a gun.

Also...that AR15A2 you photographed; can we consider it an M16A2? Is it converted to auto or burst? We really need a good M16A2 picture, because the one that appears throughout the site is yet another crappy airsoft picture.

==RE:==

Hmmm, I'll have to see. There's lots of loose women and great beer over here in Texas that I ''might'' be able to offer you, but the gold's gonna be hard to come by! Haha.

Thanks yet AGAIN for the improved two-tone P226 picture. Weirdly enough, I completely failed to notice that the one in ''[[Face/Off]]'' had a silver hammer until you pointed it out. But it's great that you have a better eye for detail than I do, and moreso that you corrected it. And, of course, thank you for answering my questions about movie guns to the best of your ability. I think your idea for a 12-gauge pump page is perfectly useful, though I must point out that if it can't be categorized, it's gonna be hard for other users to find it. In order to make sure people see it, please add links to it on pages for the shotguns it distinguishes from each other. That would be the best way to make sure your word gets out.

Hope you don't mind, but I've already shown your SIG pics on SIGforum.com to draw attention to our site. I'd show your H&K pictures on HKPRO forum (where I also post), too, if their forum wasn't down every other minute. I dunno if you post on any other gun-related boards, but if you do, show off your pics and point folks to IMFDB. The more attention, the better. We've already got 55,000 views from the ''[[Heat]]'' page (which features your P220 and M16A1 pictures, among others), so spread the word and more people will discover the beauty of IMFDB with its original movie gun pictures, taken by an actual movie armorer!

Oh, yeah, and I will respond to the topic of vandals on Bunni's talk page shortly. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==Re:Dibbs==
Feel free, one less thing for me to do. I only ask that you keep the bow and knife on the page so it fits the other two. I'll eventually add them to [[Rambo (2008)]] so that one fits as well. If anything I'll likely just add some shots like I tend to do. Thanks for asking me and not just doing it. Can't wait to see it. -[[User:Gunmaster45|GM45]]
::Almost forgot, MT2008 may have asked already but we really need a Poly Tech Legend AK pic.

:::Nope, I forgot, too! Yeah, it wouldn't be a bad idea. I've been looking for one on Google image search, but no go on any good ones. Also, speaking of AKs (and here I go again making your request list longer), a new AKM pic would be nice. Not to sound unappreciative, but I tend to shy away from the one you took just because the red stock looks out-of-place and ugly, plus the magazine is the plastic type rather than the ribbed type. If you can get a picture of one of the Maadi AKMs with the right stock, plus a metal ribbed-style mag (which is more the "classic" style, if you will)...great. If not, no worries. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==Re:Casino Royale==

Yep, that's the exact same picture I looked up to remind myself what an M76 was. Actually, I think I always thought that the M76 just referred to their long-range rifle, and I didn't remember that their smaller-caliber AKs were called M76. But I did know off the top of my head that it couldn't be Zastava because their full-sized AKs always have the folding GL sight, and the ''[[Casino Royale]]'' AKs don't.

BTW, any idea what's wrong with the [[Taurus PT92]] picture you gave us? I just put it on the page for ''[[The X-Files]]'', and now it's disappeared. A search of the page history indicates no act of vandalism.

Oh, yeah, and one other thing: I never thanked you for getting that Australian Automatic Arms carbine picture for ''[[The Matrix]]'' page. So...thanks! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

== DotD 870 ==

I don't mean to bug you, but did you have any luck with the Dawn of the Dead Remington 870, and did the message I sent you about about the sights help at all, please let me know. Also excellent work lately, The new Mossberg 500 and Remington 870 pictures are great, and so are the many other pictures you uploaded lately, I really like the two tone Sig P226s you got for MT2008, those are one of kind. Good luck, and keep up the good work.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:10, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

I was aware they were using FN BAR type D 8mm guns instead of american .30-06 BARs but I didn't know they were using the wrong mag pouches. Thanks for the info. -GM45

==Re:M1911 pistols==
The 1911 pictures are absolute perfection. The M1911 from 1913 looks great. I have one from 1913 too and yours puts mine to shame. Thanks very much. -GM45

:And thanks for the P38, too! Feel free to just delete the one that's been on the P38 already, and insert your image into any and all movie pages featuring P38s. I've been replacing old gun images on many pages with your new gun images (i.e. the Glock you uploaded earlier in the week). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

== Re: Beretta M92FS ==

It looks excellent, I don't mind an American made Beretta, an Italian made one isn't too different, is it? If you come across an Italian one in the future, you can upload that, but you don't have to, like I said, I like the new one as it is. Thank you soo much for the favor, you never disappoint.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 23:28, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

==Thanks for the USP!==

I was thinking of asking you for a USP pic, but figured I should hold off on it, just to prevent you from getting bogged down.

As you can tell, we're embarking on a campaign to replace any and all older images of guns taken from other sites, with the pictures you've uploaded. I'm also curious...what would you think of a page dedicated to explaining the importance of your gun images to new users of the site, and featuring examples of your work? It would be linked from the main page. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

== Should cartoons be allowed? ==

I want to know if it is either no one cares about the fact that cartoons like Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, and recently South Park had been allowed to this site. I have don't think these pages should exist because do you think about the rare guns that appears on those shows and wonder what they are? Cause I sure don't. I'm too busy laughing my ass off to how funny these series are, not wondering if the shotgun Homer used in the Zombie episode was a Winchester Model 1887 or that it never appeared in any other episode following. I don't care and I dont think anyone else should care. We're getting cartoon fanboys that thinks just because Family Guy has an episode where Stewie has a closet full of look alike guns, means we should write a page about them. Those guns are not the point of the show and the artist that drew them obviously didn't take much consideration for them or mention. I think Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, and South Park be removed at once. None of them deserve to be on this site. And whoever puts them here doesn't respect this site enough.
::That's a little harsh. I added some of the info on those pages, thank you. I was eventually going to do the South Park movie, because it does in fact have some pretty obvious guns in it. Personally I think they shouldn't be removed but if they are to stay, someone should take the time to screencap them and show us what they are talking about. -GM45

==Reign of Fire==
I just finished screencapping [[Reign of Fire]] and before I upload them on the page, I wanted to see if you knew what this gun is. Based on what I see I'm assuming it is a .577 Nitro Tyrannosaurus Rex rifle built personally by the Mauser company's greatest gunsmiths based on the Mauser rifle type extractor/bolt release and the Mauser style firing pin striker seen on the gun. At first I thought it was a Model 70 or a Mauser sporterized and then they show what big ass rounds he loads in it so now I just don't know. I figured of all, you'd likely know best. Also, if it is a T-rex rifle, I'd likely need a picture of it because as usual, the internet sucks for finding gun pics. I know this gun is rare but so is the .600 Nitro double barreled rifle, but that is seen in [[The Lost World: Jurassic Park]] despite that. I'm not expecting a picture from you because I know how rare and expensive it is but I figured if it ever came up I could count on you.

Here's the pics:
[[Image:ROFbigrifle-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|His rifle resting up against the table.]]

[[Image:ROFbigrifle-6.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Look at the monstrous rounds he loads it with. Only two fit in the gun! They look like either .577 or .600 Nitro rounds.]]

Hope you respond soon. -[[User:Gunmaster45|GM45]]
::I've decided to upload the movie tommorow to give you more time to respond. -GM

: I didn't expect you'd have one, after all it isn't a mass produced company gun. Major members of the Mauser company make it customly crafted. You'll see it all on the page in a sec. Also, the pic I uploaded I had to edit so it was horizontal and since it had 4 whited corners after turning it, I had to clone the corners in. Once you know, it is far more obvious to tell where I edited.

==Re: New Pics==

What I meant is that I want to make sure people on this site see how thorough you are, and how accurately you match guns to requests. Remember that AR15 Sporter that you visually modified to look like an XM177 from ''[[The Dogs of War]]''? Or the two SIG P226s you made to look the ones in ''[[Face/Off]]'' and ''[[Bad Boys II]]''? Those are the kinds of gun pics that I want to show off to new folks. What I would do is just make a page that briefly explains your contributions, and then shows guns you've photographed and how close they are to those in the movies. This is an unformed idea, I admit, but basically, I want people browsing this sight to understand (1.) That your images are exclusive to IMFDB, and (2.) That they're basically close representations of what those users have seen in movies. I know I'm not being terribly articulate, but do you understand what I mean?

And don't worry about replacing previous pics with your pics. The rest of us will continue to do that for you, as we've been doing. So far, we've pretty much replaced all of the old M16s, M4s, Berettas, Glocks, Kar98s, MP40s, etc. with your guns. I think I'm gonna start putting your USP pic on our pages, too (except those that feature the larger .45 variant of the USP, like ''[[Collateral]]'').-[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==AK-47 recognition page==
Now that you've made a Shotgun page, why not make an AK page to tell a Norinco from a Maadi from a genuine, from a poly tech, etc.
Also, maybe an M16 page for slab sides, A1s, A2s, etc.
It would probably help the users out a lot. I'm sure the shotgun page did. Personally, I have trouble telling a Norinco Type 56 aside from its hooded sight. Perhaps a couple of close ups of sight placement, recievers and all that will make me a more efficient I.Der. -GM45

== Dawn of the Dead ==

Hey, MPM2008, I uploaded some more shots of Ving Rhames' shotgun in [[Dawn of the Dead (2004)]] if you want to take a look, it's in the Custom Remington 870 section of the page. Thanks in advance.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

== Hey ==

Hey, MPM2008, do you want me to put protections on your images so no one can revert them if they've been upload over with images from the internet in the past, or upload over them? I'm asking this because some user keeps uploading a crappy picture from the internet over your H&K USP40 image. And if you want, I could ask Bunni to make you a mod or I can take the protections off them whenever you want to edit them or upload a new version of them. Let me know what you want to do.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 20:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Update: I protected all your images, and I also asked Bunni to make you an adminstrator so you can upload new versions of or revert them if want. If you not made an admin right away, just tell me what image you want to access, and I'll unlock it for you. I'm sorry I had to do this, but I wanted to prevent idiots like the guy who kept uploading over your H&K USP40 from changing your pictures, and I promise, if I ever get the ability to block users back, I will undo the protections. See you soon and good luck.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:07, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

:Made you a mod, enjoy. [[User:WikiSysop|WikiSysop]] 22:42, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== Response ==

Thanks, I will always make sure your images stay the way they are. And I didn't understand that user either, I told him politely a bunch of times to stop, but he wouldn't listen. What really intrigues me most is how somebody could prefer a crappy image they probably found on Google Images over an excellent well photographed image such as yours. As for being a mod, congratulations, but I most warn you that the block function is not working at this time, but Bunni is trying his best to fix it, but you will be able to delete any pages or images you don't want, and you will also be able to protect pages. And if we ever get the ability to block back, that one user is going to be the first on my list.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

As for the 870, take as much time as you need to, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait when it's uploaded. I will also have more requests in the future, but I won't bother you with them right now. And I also I have a question, I read your new project pictures thing on your user page, and when you say 870 riot configurations, do mean Remington 870s similar in appearence to the one seen in [[Walking Tall]]? Thanks, and good luck, I can't wait to see any future images you upload.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Update- MPM2008, you are now able to block vandals.

==Re:Special page==

Well, that's fine. But now that you're a mod and your images can be protected, I don't think there's much to worry about. I also think it would just be cool if new users understood right off the bat that IMFDB has essentially its own movie armorer. -MT2008

== Other Request ==

Hey, MPM2008, whenever you get the chance, is there a possiblity you can get me a Beretta 92FS Inox or Stainless model of the Beretta 92FS? Thanks in advance. Also, good work with your recent images, I really like the new Walther P99, I was going to ask for one, but you thought about it before I did. Keep up the great work.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 21:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

==Sin City Yellow Bastard's custom 92FS==
YB's Beretta 92FS in [[Sin City]] is a unique blend of a factory black and an Inox model, similair to SIG-Sauer used in 2 fast 2 furious. Since AQ11 just asked for an Inox, if you get your hands on one, do yuo think you could mix the two together. This is the gun in the movie.

Thanks. Take your time on the Ultimax, it isn't a big deal right now. Wiki just made me an Admin. so I'm feeling pretty damn special right now. I'm going to get the Punisher (2004) on today, than I'm finally back on track with my original list. -GM45

=="Non Guns"==

I just made a page for the [["Non Guns"]], and I'm curious to know what you think of it. I don't know a whole lot about them besides what I've read online, whereas I imagine you've probably got some experience with them, since I've heard many armorers rent them for scenes where blanks are unsafe. Any thoughts? Would say the summary I've done at the top of the page is a pretty good description of what they do?

Cheers.-[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

:Haha, trust me, I hear you on the "fugly" part. I cringe every time I spot a Non Gun in a movie or TV show, because they're ''soooooo'' fake-looking and too many idiot directors don't even think to film them at angles/lighting conditions where it won't be so obvious what they are. But, like you've said, our goal here is to be educational and informative, and no matter how crappy Non Guns might look, they are still important to the topic of guns in cinema, and that's what we're here for. :) The images are from Weapons Specialists' web site, which apparently subrents them; ISS has their own pictures, but I prefer Weapons Specialists' because theirs don't have the measuring tape above the gun.

:Sorry to hear you've been sick, but don't worry...you never have to apologize for anything. I really like the idea of your "Hello IMFDB!" card and think it would be great for our site. I will, of course, not demand it or anything, but it would be awesome if we had something like that. I agree with the idea of using the IMFDB logo, though if I can think of anything else, I'll tell you. As usual, thanks for all the work you've been doing (for us AND Hollywood), and thanks for the kind words on my Non Guns page. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

== 2nd-Gen Glock 23 ==

Hey, I was wondering if you could possibly provide an image of a 2nd-Generation [[Glock#Glock 23|Glock 23]] for the article on ''[[The Fugitive]]'', since the image for that weapon on the page is of a 3rd-Generation model with accessory rails on the frame as opposed to the smooth-framed 2nd-Generation model seen in the screenshots? I already edited the [[Glock#Glock 22|Glock 22]] section similarly for that article and the sequel ''[[U.S. Marshals]]'', and was wondering if you could help me out with that one image so I don't have to chase down an image on Google. Thanks in advance. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 08:11, 1 November 2008 (UTC)Orca1_9904

:I asked for Second-Generation Glocks, those are 3rd generation (note the accessory rails at the front of the frame). Seeing as someone identified the compact Glock model in the film in question as a Glock 19 it's something of a moot point now. However, a 2nd-Generation [[Glock#Glock 19|Glock 19]] image would be appreciated as there's none available here yet and there's several pages here that could benefit from an image of that weapon.

==My man!==

Awesome! The AKM and Type 84 look great; they're just what we needed. It's weird that I haven't been able to find a good picture of a standard fixed-stock Type 84 anywhere; yours might just be one of the best pics of this gun on the entire 'net right now. Question...is the AKM a Maadi, or is some other make? I would like to edit the entry on the AK-47 page to say if it is or not.

I will start phasing out the old pictures and replacing them, although it seems you guys have a head start on me. And thanks for the other new pictures as well - love that new PSG-1, the Uzi Carbine, and of course the "plain" 870 police (which, like you said, was something we REALLY needed). I'm also glad to see you're better, too. Take care. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:19, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

(BTW...dunno if you've noticed, but I only discovered this recently; if you hit the " ~ " key four times, it signs your posts automatically so that you don't have to type out your username. I've been using Wikis for several years now and I only just figured that out. Alienqueen discovered this long before I did, but just a heads-up.)

== Great work ==

Thanks for the police 870, it looks excellent. we really needed a standard since so many of the 870s on the site look like that. I'll be sure to replace all the 870s that need to be replaced with that. And also, I'm glad to hear you got better.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 18:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

==Pics==

Hi,

First of all, thanks yet again for the new pics! The SR9s are nice, but...I had no idea that some SR9s in movies are actually converted from HK91s? If that's the case, then by all means, you should still go ahead and put down those pics under the SR9 section of the G3 page. But does this also mean that the SR9(T) from ''[[The Replacement Killers]]'' is one of these guns? Again, this is just a huge revelation for me. I still see no reason to put them under the HK91 entry, simply because if they're meant to be SR9s, just as the converted HK94s are meant to be MP5s, then I think it's appropriate to label them as such.

And, thanks for the Type 56 that looks like the ''[[Goldeneye]]'' ones. If you want to shoot it again with the regular non-blued bolt carrier, that's fine by me. However, I should also point out that the ones in ''Goldeneye'' also have red bakelite magazines, so you might wanna give it one of those, too. Then, you'll have something identical to the ''Goldeneye'' "AKS-74s". But I will still use the picture you have in the meantime. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:15, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

:Hmmm. Yeah, I guess I figured when I noticed the trigger, but I wasn't sure if the gun from ''[[The Replacement Killers]]'' was genuine or not. Was this sort of thing done because real SR9s were too expensive? I figured since the SR9 used to be a readily available civilian "assault rifle", armorers would use it.

:However, if your guns are a fairly accurate representation of the SR9s that have appeared in movies, then it's better that you've given us images of these particular guns. I agree with you that our goal should be to have the most accurate representations of movie guns possible, and since you're an armorer, we can anticipate that yours represent what movies use.-[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:15, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

::''only 125 TCs were imported into the entire USA and only 100 T models''

::Wow, it was really that few? OK, that explains everything. I had no idea they were so rare to begin with. Even HKPRO, which has import data for most of the -90 series guns, didn't have that info. Thanks for those numbers.

::Like I've said, I think this means it's good that we have the pics you've taken because they are a very accurate representation of the SR9s actually used in movies. I would recommend you do one of those "Movie Armorer's Notes" in the SR9 section of the G3 page, just like you did for the Colt Commando section on the M16 page, explaining what you've told me. Hope it doesn't bother you that we're unmasking all of the various tricks that you armorers have been using over the years to convince moviegoers they're seeing one gun when it's actually another! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

==Re: SR9==

I think part of the problem is that there just aren't enough people who take Wikis in general seriously. As far as HK aficionados go, one of my pet peeves is that way too many of them I meet are way too arrogant towards non-HK owners for not being able to appreciate the "Teutonic superiority" (as Larry Correia put it) of HK weapons. Sorry to say that I dunno if you can please some of them no matter what you do. :)

Personally, I accept that there's some stuff that even Hollywood's people have to do in order to make our movie experience satisfactory. Like when we were talking about the ''[[Jarhead]]'' Abrams tanks...it's a necessary evil for Hollywood vehicle wranglers to dress up an English Centurion to look like an M1A1 simply because unless you're Spielberg, it's very hard to get the DoD to lend you a real one for a show. And likewise, in 1984, it was not possible to get real Soviet AKMs, RPG-7s, and DShKs, so the Stembridge armorers had to find the next best thing. But I also enjoy uncovering these tricks simply because I'm an enthusiast of firearms and military equipment in general, so I always like seeing how Hollywood's people think on the fly in adverse circumstances. There's an art to it, no? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction on the Four Brothers' HK33, it was labeled as a HK41 long before I started editing the page, I just took the screenshot. And also, thanks for the new images, I'm putting up the new M16A2 on pages right now.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 19:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

No problem, every image you upload is great. I also have a question, how do you get the pictures so perfect? Because your gun images are probably some of the best, if not the best gun images I ever seen on the internet. And yea, your new camera really does make a difference, the new versions of the images look great. Anyway, good job on your recent images, and can't wait to see your future M16s.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 20:33, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I see, you put alot of effort into your images and that's exactly what makes them great. I agree that alot of gun sites have bad images, some gun books don't have the best pictures either. One problem with some sites is that they also don't use the best examples, like they'll have a picture of gun but it'll have a whole bunch of modifications on it when the unmodified one is what's really needed, and I agree which should replace as many as the old images as possible. And I think visitors do notice your images because if you look at your Remington 870 Riot Model's file page, it has almost 200 views anad it's only been there since Sunday. And good work on the new M4, if you noticed, Hieloco (the user who kept trying to replace your images with "Net" Images) uploaded a version of the ColtM4 file with similar attachments, but yours beats his by by a long shot. And also is that the same M4 you mentioned on MT2008's talk page that the actor dropped? Just wondering.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 21:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

==re:M16A2==

First of all, thanks so much for the new M16A2! The AR15 A2 picture was nice, too, but I just thought it'd be better to have the real deal, and it's nice that we have it now. AlienQueen's already been getting to work on replacing the old M16A2 with the new one, and I'll help out, too. The Luger is another image we needed - and the fact that it's from ''Hogan's Heroes'' is especially cool! As far as the HK91 goes, I didn't notice the shadow, but the new one is fine by me. There's only one that troubles - I think the newer Taurus 85 image is a bit fuzzier compared to the old one.

As far as future stuff goes, I have another recommendation. You know how we have an AR15 section under the M16 rifle page? I'd like to get some more un-modified, basic civvie AR15 variants on there, especially Colt Sporters, because I've seen them used in quite a few movies and TV shows that stand in for mil-spec M16s. We've already got an SP1 with an A2 hand guard that you took for the ''[[Heat]]'' page, but I think we should also have SP1s without the forward assist (both A1 and A2 forearms) and a carbine with a 16" barrel. What do you think? (Sadly, I have added more guns to your to-do list...inevitable.)

And yes, we definitely have some of the best gun pics on the 'Net thanks to you. I must admit I'm still smitten with the fact that Norinco Type 84 pics are basically non-existent in just about any gun image site around (even World Guns, which is usually pretty reliable)...except here. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:05, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, one other thing occurred to me, something we need more than the Colt Sporter ARs...do you think you could get some pics of [[Thompson Submachine Gun]]s? All of our Tommy images are jacked from elsewhere on the Net. It's about time they were replaced. Of course, I know we've already given you a ridiculous number of requests, so I won't bug you too much. Thanks. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:41, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

==Sergio Leone Trilogy==
I finished the Leone Trilogy yesterday and I was wondering if you could I.D. the machine gun used in ''[[A Fistful of Dollars]]'', someone said it was a fake but wasn't very specific. I figured if it was some type of fake movie gun, you'd know best.

:Also, excellent Single Action Army picture, that's a beautiful gun. Care to tell me a little about the one you uploaded? Thanks. -GM

P.S. Check out [[Last Man Standing]], I just got that done.

Good job on the Luger P08, it looks great. I don't think the finishes are a big deal, to tell you the truth, I don't even notice it. And it's cool that it was used in Hogan's Heroes, because not only is it a special gun, but someone's destined to make a Hogan's Heroes page eventually, and it will be of a great use when someone does. Keep up the great work.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 01:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

::Speaking of LMS, his two .45s uniquely have diamond grips and I was wondering if you could take a special picture of A1s with diamond grips. I made a rough draft picture of what I had in mind.

==re: Taurus 85 & G3==

Haha...whoops, you're right. I keep forgetting, but...when you upload a new version of an existing image, IMFDB doesn't instantly replace it. Instead, the old image goes fuzzy for a period of time (which seems to vary from hours to days; no clue why) before the new image replaces it. I saw your Taurus Mod 85 pic when it was in this fuzzy "transitional" phase and the thought slipped my mind that this happens. The filter from my brain to my mouth (or rather, my keyboard) doesn't work sometimes, I guess.

As far as the G3 page goes, it is unfortunate. One thing I find annoying about Wikis is that there's apparently no way to confine an image to a particular section of a page when you use the "align" code, so when we follow page conventions and force an image to shift left, right, or center, it totally fucks up the formatting if the images are bigger than the text (which is going to be common for guns that don't have very many movie appearances listed). The only thing you can do is just add lots of space in between each section manually so that the images fit into the section.

But I do agree with you on one thing...why do we need a regular sporter SR9 with the thumbhole stock? Have you seen a movie with one? Do you or any of your fellow armorers have any in stock? Better yet, is there any movie or TV show that would NEED some heavily neutered civilian version of a G3? I kinda doubt it, so I would say it doesn't make sense to include the image. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 06:18, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

:Well, I ditched the other two SR9 pics. Til we get movies with them (and I know I haven't heard of any yet), no point in having them on there.

:Nice that you found those long-barreled AK folders. I'm pretty sure that Vollmer had at least one at sale (years ago, back when their sales site was still online), but they are quite rare in this country indeed. As far as the pics from World Guns go...it's a mix, just like here. Some of them are pics that the site's editors took themselves, others are jacked from other sites, and some are scanned from books or gun rags. I've usually just used them because (before us), they were one of the most comprehensive gun sites on the net. But I definitely think that because of you, IMFDB now has not only good movie gun images, but some of the best gun images, PERIOD.

:Good luck on your current projects, and don't let those idiot Obama-supporting actors fuck up any more of your guns. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:06, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

==The special page==

Remember how a while ago I asked you if I could try making a page that explained to new IMFDB users just how significant it was that we have a movie armorer who photographs his company's guns for us? Well, I finally got around to trying it out. Here it is:

[[MoviePropMaster2008: IMFDB's Own Armorer]]

The title is kinda cheesy, I admit, but it was the best I could think of. The other issue is that I'm not always sure my facts are straight, so if you want to correct anything, go right ahead. And I realize this might be kind of a lame idea - but I just feel it's important for everyone to understand how important your work is to this site. What do you think? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:32, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, trust, I fully understand what you mean about wanting to remain anonymous. Even if you weren't a pro-RKBAer working in an industry that is hostile to gun ownership (and non-liberals in general), it would still be perfectly reasonable to want to remain anonymous. When you're a professional of any sort, working in any industry, you don't want to do post something on a web site under your own name that could get you in trouble. As far as the page goes, however, I don't think it should be too big a deal for your anonymity as long as you avoid giving us your name. It's mostly just a way for us to brag that we have someone who can provide us with such great pictures, and to make sure that our new users understand the significance of those pictures. :-) But if you really are uncomfortable with it, that's fine, too...I can ditch it. It took all of 15 minutes to make.

:BTW, I dunno if you're OK telling me this or not (if not I understand), but are you a member of the American Entertainment Armorers' Association? I remember Dan Shea announcing its creation on a forum I used to visit, a couple years ago now. I understand that it was created specifically to address the threat from Cali's gun laws upon your businesses? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:35, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

==Image use on WIkipedia?==
Hi, I am an editor on the English Wikipedia. I came across this great site as it completes the media appearances lacking in our firearms pages. You've got some fantastic images of some obscure equipment in the idea configuration - that is, clear background and side profile shots. These would really help us illustrate some of our pages that are lacking in media content. Would you be kind enough to allow us to use these images on Wikipedia? We could upload them under an attribution license and provide a link to this Wiki in return. Kind regards, Koalorka from the WP:Firearms teams.

::If you are hesitant or have any further questions regarding licensing, feel free to ask. Wikipedia is by principle an entirely non-profit organization as you are probably aware and we could not compensate you financially for the images.

:: To Koaloarka, I appreciate your kind words and gracious offer. As you can probably tell, I've been thinking about the offer. I'm obviously not jumping at the opportunity or else I would have communicated much earlier than now. I must assess what I've been trying to do for the last six months. Since I joined IMFDB I've been working extraordinarily hard to provide the site with exclusive gun images that are available nowhere else. Everyone here knows the hard work, time and $$ spent on trying to get the best quality images of the weapons available anywhere (on the net). And obviously I do it for the benefit of IMFDB. I'm torn by the upside of increased awareness to the site, but I am also not eagerly anticipating the inevitable diluting of the 'exclusivity' of IMFDB's images when they start showing up everywhere on the web.

:: Some background to my thinking - I would not have done the images for a simple firearms site. I probably would not have worked so hard for six months to get these types of images for a gun wiki. IMFDB's unique focus is that it mixes weapons and CINEMA, especially movie trivia and factoids which are not part of the 'regular gun owner's lexicon. '''That is the field I'm in''', and I welcomed the idea of a place where I can contribute my experience and information (mostly 'lost' on the 'regular firearms crowd'). Many of my images are hybrid guns (M16a2s with A1 features or vice versa), or some of custom guns made for the movies (Custom Type 84s or AMD-65s), or weird combinations of uppers and lowers (like the M16 variants, or the 2 toned handguns,etc). which are not factory standards nor are they historically accurate. I remember once, when a firearms historian and enthusiast looked at some of my handguns (SIG P226s and USPs) and was wondering what was wrong with my barrels. He didn't fathom nor appreciate the fact that these were REAL movie guns. He was just disdainful that they were 'ruined' because of the customization needed for blank firing in movies. Anyway, I was toying with the possibility of a limit release of images with a specific watermark or copyright. I was thinking of using similar but not identical images (but still identifying IMFDB.org as the source of the image) with a translucent copyright logo, but that would take some time. But I have not decided yet and I hope you understand my reluctance at this time. I've only been doing this for six months and I don't think I'm ready right now to 'give away' the work I've done when I'm not complete updating the gun images for IMFDB. Perhaps when I've stopped or retired from getting gun pics for IMFDB ....
::''Now there are some sites who already have MY permission to use some MY images, but each one of those entities provided weapons to be photographed, so they helped me personally with the photography itself. (some FFLs, a few collector friends, other armorers, etc.) So you might see a recognizable shot somewhere else, but they will be watermarked and copyrighted as license granted to that entity.

::Anyway I'm still thinking about it. Give me a little time. I am also conferring with other Administrators of IMFDB and I welcome their input. Ultimately, I will have to make some sort of decision (as the original photographer and copyright holder) as to where I wish to release the rights. Hope that helps.

::[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

:::I agree with what you say about how many people in the gun-owning community aren't going to appreciate what these guns are if they see them on any random gun site. Like, who the hell is going to understand that in Hollywood, HK91s are converted to look like SR9s, or AR15 SP1 carbines converted to look like XM177s? However, one thing I think you should consider is that some of the guns you've photographed are hard to find pictures of, and your pictures represent not only good "movie gun" images, but good gun images, period. The Type 84 pics you've taken are a very good example, because like I said earlier, good pics of the Type 84 seem extraordinarily hard to come by. The new FG42 image is also one that I think can be considered particularly special.

:::I would say that at the very least, you should consider it on a case-by-case basis; whether the gun image you have stands as both an important gun image as well as an important "movie gun" image. But ultimately, these are your images, so the decision is yours. Take my opinion only for what it's worth. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:50, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

:::::I KNEW that. But work on Wikipedia WILL be jacked and seen all over the web. And the more removed the image is from the original source (here) the harder it is to force people to remove pirated images on their own sites. I fully intend to slam pirates who steal my images (which is my right), but it's harder when they can say'' "Oh I got it from Wikipedia, who are you? What authority do YOU have to tell me not to use a stolen pic?"'' It might be helpful to make a list of what you are interested in. I am considering creating an alternate image of the same gun with watermarks and attributions for 3rd parties (though it's not something I was planning to do at this time). Let me know your list and we can discuss it. thanks [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 18:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

::::::The attribution license is for that purpose specifically, if you are not properly attributed when the image is displayed, that person has violated your rights to the image and is liable for prosecution under international or US copyright laws. Keep in mind that those willing to pirate your images will do so whether or not you agree with it, this will happen at a higher frequency once your sites gains in popularity; by letting Wikipedia use your images, your images will proliferate the net with the proper license, exposing your work and Imfdb.org to the mainstream. Right now, we can do just one image to determine if you'd be satisfied with the end result; how about the Ameli? The CETME Ameli page does not receive too many hits due to the scarcity of the gun.

==Smiths==

Thanks so much for the Smiths, but especially the Model 29! All the ones on the page before now were 629s, and I figured we needed an original blued M29. In fact, it seems almost like blasphemy that this is exactly what Dirty Harry used and we haven't had the right gun until tonight. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 06:04, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, yeah, forgot about that other S&W 29, hehe. But still, an MPM2008 photo of a Smith is always preferable to some random image from Google. And to answer your question - yes, you should feel free to replace old pictures jacked from Google with yours. There's no reason why anyone should complain, because...

:*(A.) Your pictures are always vastly superior to the old ones
:*(B.) It takes no effort to copy an image off the web, whereas taking your own pics is a time-consuming process (especially the way you do it)
:*(C.) You're an administrator now, so you have the final word anyway.

:As far as the other Wiki guy's offer goes, I agree that you should only do it if you can mark the images as your own first, or if they give you proper credit (and link to this site, guaranteeing us more hits :). Come to think of it, it might not be a bad idea to do that with ALL of your gun images from now on, just to make sure that we mark them definitively as ours. But although I like being able to think of your gun images as exclusively IMFDB's, not so sure I like the idea of clamping down on other users. I mean, let's face it, we'd look like hypocrites because many of the images on IMFDB are still jacked from other sites (though this will change eventually, of course). World Guns would probably throw a fit if they saw this site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

:Well, I suppose you're right...if World Guns did ask us to remove all of the images we've used without permission, I would immediately comply with their request. However, you gotta admit that it's still going to be kind of flattering if people decide that IMFDB is a great source of gun images (not just "movie gun" images) and want to use our pics.

:BTW, have you talked to any of the other armorers about IMFDB? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:04, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

==Predator==
I never knew they tend to used A1 muzzle breaks but it does make sense, A1 star flashes look cool (I'm still in awe over the shot when the muzzle flash is out 2ft in each direction)

I hope you don't mind that I edited your pictures together, I just used what I had. I'll just leave them on the page like that until you take some SP1 pics. Thanks. More to come on the Predator page. -GM

I really like those new SIGs you uploaded (just ditched the old P220R image and replaced it with yours on all pages), as well as the Type 84 folder and the Madsen M50 (the movie ''[[City of God]]'' features those, so we gotta get that image on that page whenever someone screencaps it).

Also, can you by chance tell me what kind of shotgun this is (from my page for ''[[The Crow]]''):

[[Image:Vlcsnap-269025.png|thumb|none|500px|]]

Who makes that bullpup stock? I think it's a Muzzelite, but I dunno, and a Google search seems to turn up negative for info or images on this gun. I know I've seen it in at least a couple of action movies from the 1990s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:07, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

:Ah, OK, thanks for clarifying the type of gun used to kill Lee. I figured it was the 629 that killed him because I have heard from various articles that the gun was definitely a .44 Magnum, and the character of Funboy uses the 629 throughout the movie. Any idea why they switched to another gun for that one scene? Seems like it would have been identifiable as a continuity error had the scene been finished and Lee had not been killed.

:And don't worry; I do fully appreciate (have heard it many times) that the entire reason that the accident happened was because the production sent the armorer home in order to save money. And I have heard it was the fault of some clueless property assistant(s) who were responsible for the fuck-up that got Lee killed.

==Re:Dibbs==
I didn't think of it that way but I completely understand what you mean. I'll change the word. Dibbs is kind of declaring it is mine, simply saying that a movie is on my to-do list changes it sort of. The only movies I would really want to declare "dibbs" on are the ones I ordered on DVD, even when I own them on VHS already, just so I can screencap them. I'll remove my dibbs messages and just let people know I plan to do it, and if no one else plans to do it, I would like to. "Dibbs" was simply a poor choice of words. It's not like I'm locking the page from someone else to work on though. When Orca1 9904 asked to do [[Tears of the Sun]], I let him. (AQ11 even cut off the widescreen bars now). When you asked to do Rambo III, I let you. (P.S. Let me know if you need me to finish that.) I agree tho, it was a dumb idea.
P.S. I screencapped Iron Man, sorry. -GM

== One more request ==

Hey MPM2008, when I asked for the Beretta 92FS Inox, I happened to notice GM45 asked for a reversed Two Tone Beretta 92FS for use on the [[Sin City]]. If you happen to get ahold of them, I would like to know if you can combine them the factory style way as well and photograph it if you can, because a Beretta like that would be useful for pages such as [[Hostage (2005)]]. Here's a screenshot of the gun in the movie:

==AK-104==
It looks great. The magazine is no big deal. Even with that magazine, you still have the only well-taken AK-104 on the net. Don't worry about fixing it right away, it looks awesome even with the wrong mag. One thing though. You never know when one day a movie could have an AK-104 with a waffle mag so don't just cover over it if you take a new pic. You replaced the MAC-10 with the after market mag with the newer image, but you never know when one could be seen using one. Just a pointer. I'm almost done with [[Hot Fuzz]], then I'm gonna do [[Tropic Thunder]], [[Crank]], [[Shawshank Redemption]], and [[The Dirty Dozen]]. Should have them all done by the end of the month. (With deer season, my job to fix guns has been pulling me away. Plus, I hunt myself on occasion.) Keep up the good work. -GM

:If I use the word "sexy" to describe a gun picture, what does that say about me? LOL.

:I like it. And I agree with Alienqueen; I wouldn't worry too much about the mag. However, I must say that I'm a little more excited about some of the other pics you uploaded while I was at work today...thanks so much for re-doing that Type 56-1 picture for the ''[[Goldeneye]]'' page with the AK-74 muzzle break and plastic mag, and I also really appreciate you getting the Benelli M1 Super 90 (oddly enough, we don't have a page for that gun, for whatever reason). And the new XM177 pic is something we REALLY needed; time to ditch that old XM177 picture we've been using to represent "Colt Commandos" in movies (I think it's actually a Tokyo Marui airsoft replica, anyway).

:But...for now, I must do more GRE studying and personal statements for grad school apps. Sadly, I'm getting way too busy to make regular contributions these days, but real life keeps calling. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:44, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

:I wouldn't worry too much about the stock, because if you notice every image you upload always finds a use. There's no telling if a movie will come up with an AK 104 in the same configuration, plus if it's a movie gun, the movie it was used in will have to come up eventually. But if you want to upload a new one, that's entirely up to you.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:50, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

:So finishes can cause that much trouble when combining parts? Makes you wonder how they do it because I see soo many Berettas in wierd configurations in movies, I remember seeing a Beretta 92FS Inox with a black barrel in Kiss of The Dragon. And also, how rare is it to see a two tone Beretta 92FS? Because even if you search it on Google, there aren't many images of one.

And about the FG421, that is one wierd looking gun, is it German made? Because it resembles the MG42's from [[Saving Private Ryan]] a little bit, but I must say the grip dosen't look too comfortable with the way it's positioned. But another great image none the less.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 04:18, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

==FG-42==
Nice piece. It must be rare, I don't ever see them in my typical order books like Southern Ohio Guns or any other vintage firearms catalogs. Like AQ said, I think the grip is positioned ackwardly and seems uncomfortable. Like all the other cool German guns, I can't own it sadly. I don't see why they would make it a paratrooper gun, way too big. Nice pic. Glad you didn't ignore it in the back. -GM

==No Problem==
You're welcome. Despite not being such a great movie, it was quite interesting gun-wise :))

==Taps and Mr. & Mrs. Smith==
I don't own Tapps and have never seen it but I own the Extended Cut of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which includes a scene with a Mini-gun and cool other things. It is on my list and once my to-do list pile is reduced, I'll get on it. Right now I'm working on Tropic Thunder and The Shawshank Redemption. -GM

==The FG42==

Damn, that thing is beautiful! Reminds me why one can never fail to give the Nazis points for ingenuity when it came to weapons. I seriously want one, along with a Sturmgewehr. Good news though! Have you heard about this? http://www.ssd-weapon.com/engl_web/produkte_en/fg42_en/fg42_en.htm Apparently, they've got civvie reproductions of these guns now! Dunno if/when they'll get imported/manufactured in the States. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:57, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

:Your choice, I guess. Are they being imported to the states yet, though? The site doesn't list a U.S. distributor, and I haven't seen any for sale yet. But yeah, it would be cool to have a picture of a nice new FG42, plus you can get the 2nd version which you told Alienqueen you didn't have.

:BTW, speaking of rare German weapons, do you have access to a Sturmgewehr (either -42 or -44)? There aren't too many movies with them that I'm aware of (besides ''[[Escape to Athena]]''), but they do appear in lots of WWII-themed games. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:51, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

:I read your story on Brandon Lee, that's tragic. I sometimes make dummy bullets and I ''always'' fire the primers before I reload the bullet. Your supposed to use super glue to make sure the round stays in the brass. Then you go to a wire wheel and polish the brass and get rid of any super glue that seeped out. I wonder why they never made "dud" primers that could look live but not go "bang" when the hammer falls on them. I first made dummy rounds with 8mm rounds for my Kar98k, but I didn't super-glue them in, and eventually they all fell into the shells and got stuck. It sucked. I'm sick with something bad and Tropic Thunder is gonna have to wait because I feel like crap. Have a good day. -GM

==Tropic Thunder==
A Sporter II pic would be much apprieciated. To test the whole blank safety distance, I tested various blank calibers to a piece of paper and found 10 yards to be the ''dead zone''. Since I'm trying to make a movie with a few friends of mine (maybe something to show a film school), I'm going to use some blanks and want to know my limits. Obviously, since I'm the only one with true experiance and weapons intelligence, I'll be handling the blanks, post-production edits on my computer will fill the rest. I'll try my best to make them look like they know what their doing with guns, but they are pretty dumb. If you have any movie making tips, please let me know.
:P.S. I plan to make it a DVD and might even screencap it as a section on my profile. -GM

==Re:590==
Go for it, fine by me. Your pics are always better than what we find on google. -GM

==The new Cobray M11 picture==

The new Cobray M11/9 picture looks really cool! Thanks so much for that! Also, do you think it's appropriate to classify the M11/9 under the MAC-10 page? I have been thinking about giving that guns its own page for a while now. What do you think? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 17:02, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

:First of all, I completely missed the MAC-11. I've just been getting busier and busier (currently at work - on a Saturday! - indexing prior art PDF files now), and you upload so many images that I've missed a few here and there. I did like the SG550, though, and the the AMD-65 pics were also something nice (it's cool that you found the same style BFA as the Israelis). But that Type 56 is just...ugh, who the hell treats a nice gun that way? (in Africa or Afghanistan, sure, but not here in the states!) It's odd because I had no clue that the Type 56 was imported to the U.S. back when Uncommon Valor was filmed (82-83). I remember hearing it wasn't until 1984 that they reached these shores.

:As far as the Cobray page goes, I know what you mean about the mistake, but then again, we have the [[Taurus PT92]] page separate from the Beretta 92 page even though the PT92 is commonly mistaken for the 92F. The best thing to do would put a note at the top of the page suggesting people look at the Cobray page just in case.

:Appreciate the effort on the Thompson pics...like I said, we REALLY need some good ones. I hate the fact that someone put an Auto-Ordnance semi-auto Thompson clone with a long barrel to represent an "M1921". Also, from now on, whenever you upload pictures, please do the same thing you did with the Cobray; just upload them as a new version over the old ones. The way, we don't have to go back and replace the old image with your new image on every single page that has the old one. And like I said before, nobody should mind if you get rid of the old images, because yours are always better and you're an admin anyway. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:55, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

::Yeah, it makes sense, what you're saying. Were the Type 56s from ''[[Deer Hunter]]'' also the same as the ones from ''[[Uncommon Valor]]''? I mean, let's face it...you don't see that many Chinese AKs (or AK-type firearms, period) in American movies before about the mid-80s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:26, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

==That Type 56==
Holy shit, who handled that gun to make it that FUBAR?! One of my main jobs in my dad's shop is to clean up guns, so I understand how horrible that is. Mail it to me, I'll clean it up. -GM

Woah, that thing looks like it's 70 years old with every thing it been through. What did they do to it? I'll give it credit for one thing, that's a very good example of how durable and rugged an AK type assault rifle can be, especially with that kind of treatment.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:25, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

==Couple of questions regarding Walther pistols==

1) Has the current-generation P99 been converted or modified into a movie blank-firing gun that you know of? I ask because I see on the back cover of one of Wesley Snipes' DTV movies that he's holding one that appears to be a new-model P99, but it also looks like they took an UMAREX airsoft model and painted the tip black. Insight?

2) Word on a couple of forums is that the Walther PPS makes an appearance in Quantum of Solace, wielded by Olga Kurylenko. If possible, could you confirm? --[[User:Clutch|Clutch]] 02:41, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

==Request==

Just curious, could you get a good picture of the M4s used by the Air force in Iron Man? The ones with the ISM-V Scopes?
Possibly other pictures from the movie? Like the G36Ks and G36Cs?

== Another Request ==

I was wondering, would it be possible for you to get your hands on a stainless steel [[Jericho 941]]? There's at least a couple pages here such as ''[[The Kill Point]]'' and ''[[Transporter 2]]'' that could benefit from it. I'm also still waiting for a 1st-gen [[Glock#Glock 19|Glock 19]] (or whichever version of the 19 it is that doesn't have rails on the frame). Thanks in advance.

:I didn't know it was an order, rather than a request (re the Glock) and I don't have a 2nd gen of my own or I would have posted it already.

Hi, for some strange reason VLC does not catches screenshots in jpg, only in png. In the future I will convert them in jpg before uploading. [[User:Fimvit|Fimvit]]

==Re: Goldeneye==

That's fine. In all honesty, it's a bad habit that I'm afraid I have, and I seem to be influencing other forum members to do it even though it does ruin the "encyclopedic" format of the pages, as you've said. I'll try to remember in the future; bad habits die hard for me. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:31, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Hahahahahahaha, Blu-ray. I can't afford half a Blu-ray player. I'm still using DVDs, I guess this one just looks a little better. I've noticed some people use png files now, but they take too long to load and if you click on the image, it's just as clear as a jpg, so that's what I use. Thanks. Sorry I'm taking so long with it, I keep getting sidetracked. Go check out AQ11's profile talk and see my list of movies in my pile. Ugh. It's gonna be a long month. -GM

==Thanks==

Thanks so much for the new images (i.e. the USAS-12), and thanks for getting the Benelli shotgun page in order. It really needed an overall badly, and it's crazy that we never even had an entry anywhere for the M1 series before now. Also, nice work on ''[[Ultraviolet]]''; I've had that DVD in my collection for a while, but, like a lot of movies, simply never got around to capping it. No matter; yours are better than mine would have been.

Hope you've had a great Thanksgiving! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:48, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah, I agree, the Molotov cocktail doesn't need a page. This is the Internet Movie ''Firearms'' Database, not the Internet Movie ''Weapons'' Database. Also, dunno if you saw, but some anonymous user tried to delete your user page, and has thus been nuked. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

::Oh, yeah, almost forgot...I'm not really sure how to see page views besides going to "Special Pages" (under Toolbox on the left side) and there's a "Popular pages" section, but that's not quite what you need... -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:41, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

==Re: Molotovs==
I understand what you mean fully but many pages link to the Molotov page and it's one of those mistakes that kind of has to be there now. I'm making [[The Whole Nine Yards]] as we speak and that had a molotov. I don't think it is a weapon deserving a spot but too many pages already have it and it's just easier if it is there.

==Question about the SIGs from Double Team==

First of all, nice job so far on the ''[[Double Team]]'' page, even though it's not yet complete.

Anyway, I was looking at this picture:

[[Image:DoubleTeam-Gun-WallA.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

What type of laser controls are those on the grip of the SIGs? I ask because I've seen the same setup on a SIG P228 that Denzel Washington uses in the movie ''[[Virtuosity]]'', and I was wondering who makes it. Or was it something done just for both movies? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

==The Thompsons==

YES! They're awesome. Thanks so much...we ''really'' needed some good pics of Thompson SMGs. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:12, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

== Response (Sorry for being late) ==

Thanks for wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you had a great one as well. As for improvised weapons, I agree with you, Propane tanks even though they were made to be bombs shouldn't be listed as weapons. But I agree the molotov should stay since it's already a page for it and it's on quite a few pages. Also good work on Starship Troopers, the page looks great, and the Thompson pictures are great as well. Keep up the good work.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:05, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good to me, we need some Thompsons. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]] 21:22, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

:Please, in the future, never hesitate to replace the old pics with yours. Yours are always better, plus when you just upload over the old ones, we don't have to replace the gun pics on each movie/TV/video game page individually. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:49, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

== Good Job ==

Good job on replacing all the [[Thompson]]s, the new pictures look great. Also, are you still going to upload an M16A3? And also did some of the M16 type guns you uploaded come from Iraq? I mean like the M16A4, and the M4A1 with the scope and RIS Foregrip.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:02, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

== Care to take a look at my RE:E movie page? ==

Since no one did this page since the DVD release, I decided to do so. I need some check ups cause I always have a hard time telling Taurus from Beretta. Also see if you can ID the Cobray M11 for me if it is one. The previous guy posted up and even I thought it was an MP7 until I looked closer. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]

*''[[Resident Evil: Extinction]]''

== I can't be nice anymore ==

Someone has to draw the line. This guy Don whatever. He just posted a NEW flash animation on this site. What the hell? I've see the pics or trash that resembles pictures of guns and he thinks those are what they are? Is he high or some punk kid that thinks it's so cool that it deserves to be on this site. Sift Head and that other flash animation thing, Taegukgi. Those are pardon my language, pieces of shit that are NOT worthy of this place that some of us hold with respect. Yeah, they seem entertaining, but if we decide to let something this slide, then whose to stop from putting other flash animations that have "drawings" of guns on them because "Oh they have guns, so therefore they should be on this site". I want to remove it, but I like a majority vote instead of me acting pissed of. I'm asking everyone else their thoughts. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:05, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

== My airsoft ==

So what do you think of my airsoft? I know a lot of people have a bad idea about what airsoft is, so what do you think? I'm a guy who likes to show off sometimes, that's one reason why I ask since I've updated pictures on my page, but more to ask what others think, particularly people who are more into firearms. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:34, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

:Just the same, I know you can tell my ONE Glock is real over the others listed that aren't. I don't go to the range as often as I want. Bullets are expensive and so is renting time on the range closest to me. I only play with Airsoft because it's the only time where I get to shoot people and not feel the slightest remorse whatsoever. I'm killing them in a manner of speaking. I have ran into the types of guys that only knows Airsoft brand names. I on the other hand am really interested in the real life counter parts that inspires Airsoft, this is where I found out so much info on real guns...but I still have trouble telling Berettas from Taurus and between shotguns sometimes.

==Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"==
Do you think you could check your armory for a [[Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"]] rifle? Also, a lot of the ones in films are used as Henry rifles by removing the forend, the advantage being the lack of a spring follower pinching the shooter's hand. So if you do find a Yellow Boy, could you remove the forend and snap a shot of that as well? Thanks. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== H&K USP and H&K MK 23 ==

And thanks for the new .308 Valmet. Those appear in lots of movies, so I can use it on my ''[[Hard Target]]'' and ''[[The Negotiator]]'' pages.

==The HK94/MP5 conversion==

Thank you so much for this! I wanted it as much as GM did. Where did you find it? And you've actually confirmed already that it's one of the ''[[Air Force One]]'' MP5s? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:38, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

:Nah, of course that doesn't ruin it. If it's a movie gun, and it's the same type of conversion seen in those action movies from the 1980s and 90s, it's fine by me. It's the same ''type'', and that's more than enough for us. As far as Jedi Mind Powers, yeah, I guess I got something like that. Actually, I've just been glued to Facebook extending Christmas wishes to people most of today, and I check IMFDB pretty regularly. Also was working on ''[[24: Redemption]]'' earlier today.

:As far as your watermarking idea goes, I encourage it. However, there may be some way to actually disable right clicking on just your images so people can't save them to their HDs and re-post them later. Or, there may be a way of embedding copyrights into them. Not sure. But we'll figure out something. Asking Bunni about this would be the way to go, I think.

:Hope you've had a great Christmas. Over here on the East Coast, I've only got 1 hr. left before it ends, but you're in Cali, so I guess you still get a few hours left to enjoy today. And thanks for all the wonderful Christmas presents you've given IMFDB (again, I appreciate the HK94, the M78, and the long-barreled Type 84s). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:08, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

:The HK94 is great, I felt really bad chopping your pictures. Now I can get rid of them. And I read about your water marking idea. You should put one of your own personal insignias and maybe an imfdb logo. I hope you had a happy holiday. I got lots of movies to screencap including [[The Great Escape]]. I'm going to buy Romeo + Juliet and a few other gun movies with the money I got as well. I'm stilling working on Starsky and Hutch right now though. Great work with Stripes btw, I loved that movie. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Terminator 2 page==
What do you think of the T2 page? Did I over do it on the "fun facts"? As far as the guns go, did I get my info right? Colt Commandos are kind of hard to ID for me. Hope you have a happy new year. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==re: the images==

First, thanks again for the new images. It's nice to have a USP45 (especially since ''[[Collateral]]'' is one of the more popular pages on here, and Tom Cruise used one in that movie). The FNC is another nice one to have. Did you ever find out if the ''[[Heat]]'' FNCs were chopped-down Sporters with auto sears and M16A1 flash hiders installed, as you suspected?

As far as copyrights go...yes, it was inevitable. I know people have been talking about IMFDB and its images on quite a few gun forums, but I had no clue anybody would have the audacity to take your images and claim them as their own! How has your electronic tagging worked? Any particular software you used? The last time you and I discussed watermarking, I did a quick search for software that might be used. I found this: http://www.filetransit.com/view.php?id=10611 . But if you have a better one, that works, too. I do think you should start getting the images tagged ASAP, because I don't think people should be stealing your stuff. I still do worry somewhat about the "hypocrite" accusations, though, but as long as you keep getting new images up, especially for well-known guns (like ARs, H&Ks, AKs, Glocks, 1911s, etc.), those cries will have little validity.

Anyway, sorry to add to your growing list, but I have another request. I recently did a major re-vamp on the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series]] page, which used to be called just the "L96A1" page. All of the gun images I have on there now are jacked from Remtek's Accuracy International site, which I hated doing, but had no other choice. If you get a chance to photograph ''any'' of the AW rifles in your company's inventory, I'd be most grateful. I'm especially interested in the basic AW and the AWP (because my ''[[Jericho (TV series)|Jericho]]'' page has the latter), but anything else you have in stock would be great. Thanks so much for all your hard work. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:55, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

:The USP-45 looks great. As MT said, it will work well on the Collateral page (especially because I'm going to be adding shots to it later) and the FNC is excellent. Bravo. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

::Check IMDB for gun-heavy movies (you won't find specific IMDB forum topics in a Google search). It's very common now to see somebody ask a question about a gun in a movie and some other forum user will point them to us. Last one I recall looking at was "Hitman" where somebody mentioned us. I have also seen people make topics about us on everywhere from the AR-15.com to the 1911 forum to the Firing Line.

::As far as reactions go, sorta mixed. Some people draw attention to our mistakes (and let's face it - we had a LOT, especially before you came in), others say we're neat. However, there don't seem to be a whole lot of folks so far who understand the fact that our images are exclusive to us - which is another reason why your watermarking is such a good idea. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 06:22, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Hey MPM2008, I just wanted to say thanks for all your recent pictures, I really like the USP 45, and the Mossberg 590 Mariner. Thanks to you, Imfdb now has genuine pictues of all three calibers the USP is available in. Keep up the excellent work.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 04:01, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

==Screencaps==
I was trying not to do too many shots in Commando since I didn't want to muck up your page but I didn't know your limit was 4. I add so many shots usually because they illustrate different users and different scenes. I don't try to spoil the story but I try to run a path with my images. I was trying to respect your format more than how many screencaps (you'll see I kept the calibers after each description like you do and kept the size image under 600px. I'll admit that LMS had too many shots but don't hold that on me every time I go a little over on my screencapping. Hope you had a happy new year. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== Re:Finally Got It! ==

It looks awesome! Where did you find? Is it one of Cinema Weaponry's guns, as I suspected? Also, that gun appeared again this past summer in ''[[Pineapple Express]]'', so I added it to that page.

I noticed you are adding some new shots to Rambo. Do you think you could grab some shots of his knife and bow, since all the othe Rambo pages have them. If you can't, I'll do it eventually. If you can, note that he has two knives. His mini machete that Stallone actually made for the movie and the knife from Rambo II. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==The Auto 9==

You had access to the Auto 9? Wow, I had no idea they had any of them intact after all these years. Of course, ''[[Sin City]]'' features one, but theirs was actually a modified 92FS, not a 93R.

== RE: Finally Answering your questions ==

I understand now, thanks for the reply. So you can basically make it look like any kind of M16 if you have the right parts, anyway I can't wait to see your C7. Also, are you uploading more Mossbergs? Because if you want, I can edit the Mossberg 500 with the Heatshield out of the Comparision picture and upload it if want me to:

[[Image:MossbergComparisonMain.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|]]

But if you prefer to upload your own image, it's okay.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 22:07, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

About the Mossbergs, So you do want me to edit it out? Anyway, A simple Mossberg 500 with a High Capacity magazine tube to replace this image would be nice:

[[Image:50577.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mossberg 500 - 12 gauge]]

Also, if you can get an image of a Mossberg 500 with a pistol grip like the one in [[Training Day]] it would be apprecited. Thanks.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 22:37, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== Mossberg 500 ==

Hey MPM2008, I cropped and edited the comparison image, and uploaded the Mossberg 500 with the heatshield as a seperate image. I just want to want to know if it's okay before I add it to the page. I wrote that it belongs to you in the image description. What do you think?

[[Image:Mossberg500withHeatShield.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]

Thanks, I tried to make it looked as much like one of yours as possible. I'll put on the page now. Feel free to edit or overwrite it whenever you like.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 22:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

==Re: 24 Redemption==

Yep, I understand. I was just giving a reason to everyone why I was. I realize you wouldn't make that mistake.

==Thanks for the new FALs!==

They look great! We can always use more. Only question is...do you by chance have a picture of a 50.61 like the gun from ''Heat''? (or rather, something that looks like one)

The new Mossberg Bullpup also looks good. While I liked the one with the extended magazine tube, I like this new one better, simply because the standard models without the extended tube seem to be the ones which appear in movies most often. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:52, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

==Help with ''Transformers'' 1911 pistol ID?==

Hey, I was wondering if you could take a look at the M1911 being used by Captain William Lennox ([[Josh Duhamel]]) in my screenshots of ''[[Transformers]]'' and see if you could ID it? It appears to be a mostly standard M1911 pistol but has a Kimber-style hammer and slight beavertail to the grip safety. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 08:00, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

: Just took another look at the M1911 page and it almost looks like the [[M1911 pistol series#Colt XSE|Colt XSE]], only the weapon in the film lacked the second set of cocking serrations at the front of the slide. What do you think? [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 05:59, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

==Re:KIN93==

Not really. He has been warned before this, so being a bit frustrated is understandable. And yes, I agree that being released in theaters does not justify using bootlegs, and will certainly still be noticed by any studio police on the prowl. After all, if a movie hasn't been released on DVD yet, there's no way to get screenshots other than bootlegging. And that's why it's unacceptable. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I've been trying to cut back on the amount but I have my specific way I make my pages. I don't just tell what guns are used. I tell you what guns are used, who uses them, goofs, and fun facts. It makes the page a little larger but I like to think of it as being thorough, more like an article then just a "page". Since we have pages for actors, guns, and films/TV, it is good to show you the info. Sometimes I just can't pass up good shots. If you notice on my Last Man Standing page, the shot is either good, or is telling information. I understand that some of my pages are cluttered, but I've been doing my best to keep them organized. My limit now is usually ten or less images, but I sometimes have to makd exceptions. You are free to remove screencaps I add if you find them to be to many on one of ''your'' pages. You are free to do whatever you want to your own pages, if I add something you find it not needed, you have the right to remove it. I took some of the Mini 14 shots off your ''[[Commando]]'' page for that reason. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:I was looking at the [[Rambo (2008)]] page and saw some of the changes you made. As always, I was a little sad to see those images you removed go but it is your page and your right. While I understand the removal of the shot of the soldier sent airborne by the .50 caliber (I just thought it was worth noting how dumb "movie logic" can get, but it doesn't have a gun in it, so it is not needed), but why did you remove the shot of Diaz with his FN FAL Carbine? I thought it was a pretty clear shot.

I just added some shots to [[Flashpoint]] and soon I'm going to do [[Get Smart]] and a revamp on the Matrix series (the three films and that awful Animatrix) since I bought the four pack DVD - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== Thanks! ==

Thanks for your comments about my pictures from [[The Sting]]; it's always been one of my favorite movies (despite its use of suppressed revolvers!) Feel free to make the screencaps any size you feel appropriate, I appreciate your comments and interest! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

== A little help ==

I just started my [[Police Story 3: Supercop]] page, but I need some help IDing some of the guns. Can you give me a hand? [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 14:36, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

== Question About Bond Actor Category ==

I was wondering, in the "James Bond Actor" category page, should we limit it to actors who've played James Bond himself, or should we allow 'supporting' actors such as Bond girls (ie, [[Halle Berry]] & [[Honor Blackman]]) and villians (such as [[Robert Carlyle]] & [[Gert Fröbe]])? I'm proposing this to several admins and would like to get some feedback on this before making a decision. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 22:09, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

== Screencap limit? ==

Hey, I was just looking at some of my own pages and seeing that I tend to really really overdo it with screencaps (which makes some pages take way too long to load). I was just wondering if you know what a good suggested amount might be for the same gun? Thanks - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]
:That sounds like a very good amount for each. I'll try and go through some of my pages (especially ''[[Dillinger (1973)]]'' and ''[[Bonnie and Clyde]]'') and reduce some of the redundancy. I'll keep it in mind from now on. Thanks for getting back to me so soon! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

==Hi!==

Sorry I haven't been on IMFDB in a few days. To answer your question: It's not so much that life is kicking me in the ass, it's mostly that I'm in Washington, DC right now without my laptop. Even though I didn't vote for Obama, I came here for his inauguration, mostly because my Mom is a big fan, and because my boss got us the tickets, and well...you know, I do try to do nice things for Mom, even if I don't like the guy she helped elect President. Plus, I got several days off from work, which is always nice.

I should be back tomorrow, and I'll catch up on everything I've missed for the past few days. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:16, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

==Request==

I really like how you edit those jacked pics and make them look so much better. So, I figured I'd ask...if you get time, do you want to edit this pic of a Gen 1 Glock 19 that we've been using on several pages?

[[Image:Wviewpoint 0430.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Glock 19 9mm]]

If you get around to it, cool, but I realize it might be a while. It could use some removal of white space and shadows, and any other touch-ups you can do. Thanks! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

:Ah, alright, well, that's fine then. Just figured I'd ask because I thought I remembered you telling Orca that you didn't have a Gen 1 Glock 19 in stock at the time, and I wasn't sure if that had changed recently. And yes, DC was a whole lotta fun...until I had to go to the party where all the people from my firm were celebrating the inauguration. Try being the only Libertarian in a room full of mindless liberal douchebags and it's quite awkward. I loved how they were all clapping and cheering even when Obama was saying things that weren't really all that profound or moving. I don't think it matters how good or bad Obama turns out to be as President...this Stalin-esque cult of personality around the man is something I will never get used to. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:21, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

::It looks WAY better. Only thing is, next time, please just upload a new version over the old one. Thanks for doing this. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:55, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

::By the way, is there really a difference between the T3 AKMS pistol and the ones from Rambo and Pineapple Express? I keep comparing photos and I still can't see the difference in barrel length. The only thing I see is that the Rambo one may or may not have a smooth receiver cover (like the standard Type 56) instead of the AKM-style ribbed. And the True Lies gun is a different one entirely. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:03, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

==Rambo (2008==

Just to give you a heads up I changed the info on Rambo M2 Brownings. I talked to Kevin @ ISS about them and he told me they were M2. He was with the show in Thailand working on the 50's. As for the designation AN/M2 was used by the military to discribe the Browning Aircraft gun both 50cal and 30cal unitl 1944 it was changed in September 44 to M2 Aircraft. Thanks. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

== Thanks ==

Thanks for the new 870, It looks amazing. Even the color of the stock and pump match the gun in the movie, excellent work. So are you working on the ghost ring version right now or still looking for the accessories? Either way, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. Thanks again, and keep up the great work.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 22:10, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

==M1-C Garand==
Beautiful M1-C, thanks for uploading it. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Browning M2==
That is definately useable! It's great! I was going to ask that you replace the M2 pic but figured you had enough to do already. You might want to take a picture of it on a pintle mount though because that is the most commonly seen .50 in films. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:I like your picture! If you can do the pintle mount, great, but right now, I'm just happy we have a picture of an M2 at all that we can call our own. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:11, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

== Browning M2 ==

Thanks for the M1 Garand info, that picture helped me alot, I now understand how the scope and gun work. As for the M2, That is definitely a usable picture, it's excellent! .50 cals are huge, and I would say that type of format is perfect for them. If you want my photo wishlist again, it is these besides the ghost ring 870:

Beretta 92FS Inox

Two Tone Beretta 92FS (If you're able to combine the parts)

Heckler & Koch Mark 23 ("SOCOM")

And if it's possible, can you obtain a U.S Military issue Beretta M9, I know it's very much the same as a Beretta 92FS, but I heard there were some slight differences, and it would go great with the M9A1 you uploaded before. But if you can't get ahold of it, it's okay. The 870 and the Beretta 92FS Inox are the main things I want. Thanks.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 19:36, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Nevermind the M9 actually, MT2008 is right. We don't need it.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 20:14, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

==Re: Help on Alex Reid==

Looks like my Jedi Mind Powers are at work again. Creepy, eh?

Alex Reid uses several types of weapons in ''[[Ultimate Force]]''. She uses a SIG-Sauer P226 in at least a couple of episodes. In the episode where the SAS goes against the IRA, she uses an MP5KA1 to shoot at the terrorists during the ambush, and later briefly has a Glock 17 (the same one you see being pointed at her) before the bad guy takes it away. In the season 1 finale, she is given a PPK, but never gets to fire it herself. In another episode where the SAS goes after a Christian cult, she has an MP5SD3. In the season 2 finale where Red Troop goes to South Ossetia, she uses an FN Minimi. Here are some pics from the ''[[Ultimate Force]]'' page:

[[Image:Vlcsnap-77839.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Caroline Walsh ([[Alex Reid]]) unloads a SIG P226 at French special forces in Episode 2.1, "Communication".]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-136363.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Captain Caroline Walsh ([[Alex Reid]]) firing an FN Minimi in Episode 2.6, "Dead Is Forever".]]

Only problem is, these don't really show her face that clearly, so you can't tell who she is. I'll see about getting others... -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:23, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I think I got one. Give me a sec to cap it. Season 1, and the episode was "Just a Target" [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 06:34, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Also, just remembering, in season 1, forgot which episode, she is seen with a full length double barrel shotgun, but never fires it. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 06:34, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Here's the pic of her with her SIG

== Wikipedia pirate? ==

Hi, I requested several images from you a while back, but there appears to be an editor on Wikipedia going by the name Josh Woolstenhulme who appears to be uploading some of your gun photos and claiming to be the author. Here are his uploads: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Josh_Woolstenhulme

If this isn't you, just a heads up.

==My requests==
I don't have much but here's a few I thought of:

* [[MG42]]

* [[MG34]]

* [[Glock#Glock 18|Glock 18]] with/without 33 round mag

* I mentioned before how I'd really like a [[Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"|Winchester 1866]] with the forearm and without it fro when they mimick Henry rifles in movies.

* Any western guns are great, I'm one of the few who can apprieciate them (since about 90% of the western pages are mine)

* We still need a [[Mossberg 500]] with wood furniture for pages like ''[[Heat]]''

* Some more [[Desert Eagle]]s. The images are all .50AEs, we need some .44s and .357 DEs. We also need a black model.

* [[RPG-7]] (still using that ugly picture taken off google)

* [[M60]] series machine guns

That's all I got for now. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

::Was the extra holding that M60 an extra or someone well known? By the way, I could never do your job. The idea of so many idiots handling and breaking my guns would drive me to insanity. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== Good Luck ==

I would like to wish you good luck on your most recent business trip, and I hope you have a good time or try to, and thanks for notifying us about it. Also, sorry to put more requests on your list, but can you look around for these as well?:

* Browning Automatic Rifle or B.A.R

* Mossberg 500 with High Capacity Magazine tube

* Mossberg 590 with Ghost ring sights (I think this is what the Remington 870 on the [[Hostage]] page really is, and I seen them in movies such as The Last Castle)

* M1 and M1A1 Thompson

Thanks, and I wish you the best of luck on your trip.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:20, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

==Revolvers==
I have a question. I know auto pistols need to be milled and threaded to fire blanks but do revolvers need to be modified to fire reliably? I once had some acorn crimped .45 LC blanks which I put through a SAA. The primers backed out from a lack of recoil and the gun locked up. I tried putting it though a Colt M1917 and it hardly fired unless I angled it right. I've seen in movies how some of the firing pins are removed from the hammers (like the S&W 36 from ''[[Running Scared]]''). If they do need to be modified, could you tell me how exactly? Thanks.

P.S. If we have any more things to add to your list, can we just add them directly or should w ask you first in discussion? - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::I also forgot to ask, what movie was the M60 used on? - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Push==
Have you seen the trailers for the new movie ''[[Push]]'' coming out soon? I'd screencap the hi-def trailer but my computer is too slow to do it right. If you're free, could you give it a look? I'd rather you made a page with HD trailer shots than some anonymous user making an empty page. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==RE: Got a gift for you! ;) More coming==
You are awesome! These guns are great! I'll be sure to add them to the page. I'm going to have to go back and snap a shot of Ace with an SAA (they didn't show him too clear but I think I can find one). I can't wait to see what else is coming. Thanks! - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:I'm glad to see you've gotten more famous guns, they look great. It's quite impressive how many guns you're uploading that are well known as used guns by the actors. Did you meet with some important people lately? Keep up the good work, the pics look great. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

::All I can say is...Oh, my, God. You have outdone yourself this time. This is one of the best updates you've given us yet. I don't even know how to begin thanking you. I can't even express how giddy with excitement I am that we have these pictures. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:37, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

:::Yep, I saw those too! Really awesome. More than awesome, actually. And the new Desert Eagles and the Mark 23 are also VERY highly appreciated, too. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==Photos==
Nice photos you got the other day from our friend. I did not mean to rub you the wrong way last week. We could work better together and put this behind us. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

== Babylon .A.D/ SPAS 15 ==

I don't think the gun under the M4 is a SPAS 15. The gun pictured has a full lengh forend and the reciver doesn't match. I have seached every where and can't figure out what the gun pictured is. But thanks for help. Gunner313

== Welcome back ==

Welcome back from your trip, hope you enjoyed it, and thanks for the new goodies. I put your newest Smith & Wesson handgun pictures on most of the pages except the ones that had no screencaps or if I couldn't tell which kind of model it was, and I also put the movies guns you got on the S.W.A.T., Untouchables, and Pulp Fiction pages. Best regards.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 21:59, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

== RE: Thanks ==

Sorry about taking the honors away from you, those are amazing pictures though especially those guns from The Quick and The Dead. If you would like help replacing the pictures, let me know.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 06:23, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the new pictures, how many armorers did you meet with? Also the Berettas from Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are nice, so they took it out of the case for you? It looks well worn.
Also, about formatting, I noticed one or two users put at the bottom of sections a few times to space out their pages, I previewed it on pages a few times, it seems to work, but you have do it a few times in a row. Not sure how effective it is, but I figured it's worth noting.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 08:24, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

==Two requests==

Star Ultrastar, And a S&W 5906 w/ Adjustable sights
Nice job on the Beretta 92 section, by the way
~ Revolver

==Weapon Photos==
Nice photos you just posted. I hope you do well getting your next gig. This SAG BS will put a damper on things. I will have some non-industry related work coming into my shop so it should not hurt that bad. If you need anything PM me on the forum and I will see what I can do. Thanks - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

== Re: Update ==

You have really outdone yourself this time, all these new images are amazing. It's cool that you had help from the armorer of True Romance, and that you got to photograph the Beretta from the Die Hard and Lethal weapon films, it makes me wonder why so many why so many actors and directors are so anti gun, especially when they worked around guns so much. Anyway, no one should mind if you replace their pictures, yours are superior to anything else on the site, and I have seen the XXX guns, and those are cool, thanks for finding out what the mystery M1911 on XXX 2 was. It's also cool that IMFDB now has it's own pictures of these unique guns. It was nice of those guys to help you, that was by far the most guns I have ever seen you upload. One thing is for certain, if people don't come here to see what guns were used in which movie, it'll most likely be to see your pictures.

No problem about the formatting, a user named [[User: Vinniebar|Vinniebar]] used it when this site first started, hopefully it'll be the answer to our formatting problems. Anyway you did good with those Berettas, they came out great with what you had there, do the they still work good? Anyway I have to get to bed now. You can keep uploading gun pictures if you want, but you can take a break if you want, you derserve one. Thanks again.

P.S, sorry if it took me long to respond, I'm not the fastest typer.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 09:06, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

==The new stuff==

Your updates just keep getting more and more incredible. Having actual movie guns was cool enough, but having ''specific'' guns from movies handled by stars is just beyond cool. The new Berettas and the Tokarevs are especially appreciated. I just don't even know how to thank you anymore, and words just ain't gonna cut it.

BUT...I must ask you a really quick question. You say that this Beretta was used in ''[[Die Hard]]'':

[[Image:BerettaM92FS DH1&LW1.jpg‎|thumb|400px|none|Beretta 92F 9mm used by Bruce Willis in the film with extended mag release and slide release.]]

Only thing is, this gun clearly doesn't have the extended mag release and slide release, which is visible in this screencap from our movie page:

[[Image:DH_McClane2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|McClane with his [[Beretta M92F|Beretta 92F]] drawn while taking cover from incoming fire from both Hans and Karl.]]

My question is, isn't THIS the gun that Bruce Willis used in the first ''[[Die Hard]]'':

[[Image:BerettaM92FS-DieHard2-4.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Beretta 92FS - 9mm. This is the actual screen used Beretta carried and fired by [[Bruce Willis]] in the film.]]

...because this one actually DOES have an extended slide release and mag release. Also, LMO has a picture of this gun on their page for ''[[Die Hard]]'' (which isn't as good as yours) and it looks identical to this.

Furthermore, I doubt this gun (the one right above) was in ''[[Die Hard 2]]'' or ''[[Die Hard with a Vengeance]]'' because I don't think either of the Berettas in that movie had the extended slide release. On the ''[[Die Hard with a Vengeance]]'', I posted a picture of one of the Berettas which I took from LMO's site.

Anyway, point is, are you sure you didn't reverse the images? Thanks. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

:Also, I could have sworn the Beretta Gibson used in the first ''Lethal Weapon'' had a gold Beretta logo on the grips. Did they replace it with the blacked-out one later on? [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 18:45, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

::Oh, crap...you know, I barely even grasped the scale of what you uploaded because you did so many. The Auto Ord 1911 from "Pulp Fiction", the S&W 629 and the 1911 from "XXX 2", the P7 from "True Romance"...excuse me while I go pee myself with excitement. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:51, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

::And not only do we have a Jericho 941 that's stainless, but it's the '''same''' gun used in ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]''? (faints) -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

==The Berettas==

First of all, Cinema Weaponry has a display case for some of their famous movie guns? That's really awesome...do you other pictures of it? What else is in it?

Anyway, like I said, I'm pretty sure you just reversed the two Beretta images. THIS one is from ''[[Die Hard]]'':

[[Image:BerettaM92FS-DieHard2-4.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Beretta 92FS - 9mm. This is the actual screen used Beretta carried and fired by [[Bruce Willis]] in the film.]]

Again, if you look at the picture of Willis with the 92F from "Die Hard", it looks identical. Also, wasn't there more than one of them? I've always understood that you guys are in the habit of having at least one or two back-up weapons for each "hero gun" use? Did Mike Papac configure multiple Berettas in the same way as the one used by Bruce Willis in the first "Die Hard"? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:25, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

:OK, I'm looking at your picture of the display case. If you want my opinion, it looks like the 92F in the center of the picture (next to the "Enemy of the State" 1911) actually was used in "Die Hard 2" and "Demolition Man". You can see that it hasn't been modified for Bruce Willis (no left-hand mag release, probably because Sylvester Stallone used it later, and he's no lefty). However, the next Beretta over is definitely the one from the first "Die Hard" - it '''does''' have the left-handed, extended mag release. However, you probably just can't see the label for the gun because it's out of the picture.

:Do you think that might explain things? We should ask Steve about this, as I'm sure he knows well. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

::But I forget...didn't Syd Stembridge basically take all of his remaining assets to Cinema Weaponry? I've been under the impression that Stembridge and CW essentially merged with each other after Stembridge closed down in '99. So aren't the guns that Syd kept now in Mike's hands?

::And yes, I imagine Mike must have a lot of cool stuff to photograph. One other thing you should ask about...remember the H&K G11 from ''[[Demolition Man]]''? If you can at least get the story on where that gun came from, that would be awesome. I've always wondered...did they build it themselves?

::''ALOT of them in films are still those HK94 conversions, but now we can't tell visually if they are or not.''

::True, but that just means they're identical to almost every single other transferable MP5 within the chain of commerce, which were also converted from HK94s. I forgot...was it La France that did most of the conversions of HK94s for Stembridge, Ellis, etc.? Anyway, it's good that you got the picture of the one that you have. Those things may be obvious conversions, but they're still an important part of movie gun history! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

:::I figured Syd was still in business even though he doesn't seem to get many armorer credits these days - if you watch ''[[A Man Apart]]'', for instance, it says, "Weapons provided by Stembridge & Cinema Weaponry" in the credits. But I've been confused about what weapons he retained, what LMO sold, what CW received or what came under their umbrella, etc. Thanks for clearing that up.

:::So as far as the G11 goes, are you saying that the one in ''[[Demolition Man]]'' was actually a real G11 and not something that was built specially for the film? I figured it was built around something else, sort of like the way that "XXX 2" features G36Ks mocked up to look like XM8s (and I think Steve may have had a hand in that film as well). As far as getting a picture, don't worry, I won't pressure you. I realize how hard it must be. I was just curious to know if the gun in the movie was the real deal or not, because I couldn't imagine HK would ever trust some moronic actor with one of their rare prototype weapons (no offense to Wesley Snipes). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:37, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

==Confusion + Overseas visit==

I think I'm about to make you a whole lot more confused...

''Mike recalls that he didn't install the extended mag release button and slide release until the second movie''

If that's what Mike recalls, then it doesn't seem to match the evidence. Here is a screencap from the '''first''' ''[[Die Hard]]'' showing the Beretta:

[[Image:Vlcsnap-62528.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]

So again, this is the ''first'' movie that this image came from. If you look closely, you can see that McClane's (Willis') Beretta '''does''' have the extended slide release. Again, compare to the picture you took:

[[Image:BerettaM92FS-DieHard2-4.jpg‎|thumb|400px|none|]]

So Mike's memory must be failing him on this, with all due respect. It looks like he ''did'' put on the extended slide release (and mag release) for the first movie. I don't know about the Lethal Weapon movies (I don't have those on DVD), but the 92F from Die Hard 1 is a gun that has an extended slide release.

Also, did Mike do any work on ''[[Die Hard With a Vengeance]]''? I've always been under the impression that because that movie was filmed in New York, Weapons Specialists, Inc. provided the guns for that film. Rick Washburn is credited on IMDB as the armorer on ''[[Die Hard With a Vengeance]]'' (though it looks like Dave Fencl also did some work on the film). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:45, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

''I MAY have an opportunity to go overseas (France) and I will try to photograph some of Christophe Maratier's guns (Leon/Ronin/LaFemme Nikita/District B13/Taken/etc) I would like to also go picture taking in Britain at Bapty's or Sascha Robey's collection, but who knows? I don't have a connection/introduction yet with those guys. And with all the retarded gun restrictions going on over there...... ''

That is pretty wild! Unfortunately, Bapty auctioned off a whole bunch of the James Bond movie guns (including several of the original Walthers, plus the OICW replica from ''[[Die Another Day]]''), back in 2006, before the recent ban on "realistic imitation replicas" took place (they were all deactivated prior to the auction). Still, it would be really cool to see some of the stuff they still have. You would probably be able to get them to let you in, though. Dan Shea went to Bapty's back in 2003 (I think) and they let him photograph a lot of their guns (which appear on LMO's site), so if you told them who you were, you could probably get in. Have fun! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:48, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

::''Yeah, but WHO is the better photographer? ;)''

::Well, obviously...hehe. :-) The coolest thing is how you got a lot of the same guns as his site, but yours are 100x the quality. Speaking of which, have you ever considered professional gun photography for a living? Or do you already do it? Your pictures are the kind of thing that gun rags and books would kill for.

::''I was thinking of doing an actual table top book with the pics (including a bunch of other angles that I did not upload)''

::What about a book showing off specific "hero guns" from movies? Have any of you (the armorers) talked about that in the past? Of course, I guess the great thing about IMFDB is that you guys are free to use it for precisely this purpose, except that anyone can access it for free.

::''Either that or I'll say "MT2008 says you're full of SHIT!" heheheh. Those were done 23 years ago and we're all doing this from recollection.''

::Ugh, I dunno if I could stomach the idea of correcting Mike on his own work, being as I'm not an armorer. But I do realize that it's unreasonable to expect him to know all this stuff from memory. I have trouble remembering details about specific guns I shot as recently as 5 years ago. 23 years is a ''long'' time to keep details in your head, for any human being.

::As far as the (nearly) blank pages go...screw 'em. I've deleted several already. Also, one user made a page for ''[[The War Briefing]]''. I'm not sure it fits with the scope of the site. What do you think? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 05:02, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

==re:Asshat==

It's just some dude who's upset because I gave him a temporary suspension for fucking up the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page with inaccurate info when he didn't even have the courtesy to ''ask'' before editing. Maybe I over-reacted a ''little'', being that I did most of the screencapping and other work on that page, but the sheer audacity of his rudeness just pissed me off so much that I figured he deserved a time-out.

Don't worry, I wasn't fooled for even a second when I saw the "Warning" on my talk page (you can see my responses to him [[User talk:68.233.138|here]]). And yes, I ''could'' actually report '''him''' for impersonating an FBI agent and they might complain. But, this loser is too pathetic to even bother. Besides, I have the flu right now, so I don't feel like it anyway. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:27, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

==Arachnid==

OK, it's really interesting you made a page for this movie...I watched it on Sci-Fi not too long ago, but couldn't remember the title! And even though I'm an ''[[Ultimate Force]]'' fan, I completely failed to recognize [[Alex Reid]] in the movie. Weird...

As far as the guns in the movie, I may be wrong, but I remember the AR-15 carbine (the long-barreled one) being a Colt Sporter-1. Or at least, I think the upper was from a Sporter-1, because that looks to me like a 16" barrel. I can't remember - was the gun ever fired on auto? I remember the Model 733 was, but I remember the other AR only being fired on semi. In which case, I suspect it's most likely a factory civilian Sporter-1.

Also, I think Chris Potter's MAC (the one which magically becomes an Uzi) is an RPB clone or something else that's smaller. Unless Chris Potter is a huge guy with huge hands (and he doesn't seem that way in any of the other stuff I've seen him in where he handles guns), the receiver on the MAC looks a bit too small for it to be an original MAC-10. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:39, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

:No worries! I would have been really upset myself. My first week here, I remember editing a page while another user made a minor edit simultaneously, and I was really pissed off too because I lost all my edits which I hadn't backed up, which was nearly an hour of work down the drain. Nowadays, I'm in the habit of copying anything I write into a Word file before submitting in case that happens.

:Anyway, back to the movie...I'm not sure if Chris Potter has such huge hands or not. Not too long ago, I was watching episodes of ''[[Kung Fu: The Legend Continues]]'' on YouTube, which he starred in. His sidearm in that show was a Beretta 92FS Inox (which had a habit of turning into a Taurus PT92 in some scenes), and it didn't seem any bigger in his hands than mine, and I don't have big hands (just long fingers). I haven't compared a MAC-10 to an Uzi in size, so I dunno what the difference is.

:Oh, yeah, and I love how he fires his MAC/Uzi sideways, "gangsta style". He used to do that with his Beretta in "Kung Fu" as well! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:06, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

==Browning A5==
Do you by any chance have any [[Browning A5]] shotguns in your armory, as well as a Remington Model 11 copy, since I've noticed a few pages featuring them (like [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]'s [[Thunderball]] page).

And you never got back to me on my qeustion about blank converting revolvers. It's a little further up your discussion page. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==The Rundown==
I've had [[The Rundown]] screencapped for some time now (hadn't had time to upload) but would you mind if I replaced some of your shots with mine (they are larger resolution), but if you don't want me to, I could always delete my caps, but it took me a while to save them. I've had it on my list for some time now, it would really make me happy if I could upload mine. Get back to me on this. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:I realized this, so I only replaced one shot of the Remington 870 because it shows just a little bit more. You're shots are still on the page. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Thanks, I felt (I guess the word is self-conceous) since I knew I was uploading more screencaps than you would have, but as you see, I add comments on the crazy movie logic and other fun facts to fill out stuff (I always have a plan when I save screencaps, so I know when I plan to label these facts early, hence I sometimes have a heavy screencap load). I try to always catch EVERY gun in a movie, so I never use scene skip and rarely fast forward. When I do fast forward, I have a strange sixth sense that allows me to see guns that are only seen briefly on even normal speed. Anyway, I'll be uploading a movie called [[Legends of the Fall]] tommorow, I'm working on it now. I think it is a perfect gun movie because it covers the early 1900s, so we see old west guns, WWI guns, and prohibition gangster guns. It's great. Incredible film too, I recommend it. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Revolvers again==
Copied from above:

I have a question. I know auto pistols need to be milled and threaded to fire blanks but do revolvers need to be modified to fire reliably? I once had some acorn crimped .45 LC blanks which I put through a SAA. The primers backed out from a lack of recoil and the gun locked up. I tried putting it though a Colt M1917 and it hardly fired unless I angled it right. I've seen in movies how some of the firing pins are removed from the hammers (like the S&W 36 from [[Running Scared]]). If they do need to be modified, could you tell me how exactly? Thanks. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Thanks for clearing up the SKS, that was the only model I was aware of (not an SKS pro, only know what I've seen or held at shows) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Shoot 'Em Up==
I usually use my desktop computer for screencapping and it keeps the master images at a relatively simple size so I don't need to resize them. But I screencapped [[Shoot 'Em Up]] on my sister's HP Pavilian DV-6000 laptop because my screencapper on the desktop didn't except SEU's format. Her computer is HIGH-DEF and the images were gigantic, even after I resized them. I thought they were small enough after resizing but they were still pretty big. They certainly look nice though. You can tell based on the number of screencaps that I wasn't up to re-resizing all the images because they were a tad over sized. Next time I use her laptop to screencap (get ready for a much better documentation of the Matrix films), I'll be sure to resize them correctly. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

Also, from me again, how about making an UziMac10, like in Dogs of War?
::Those guns don't exist any more. Once regular Uzis became more prevalent (including the influx of semi automatic Uzi Model A and Model B carbines that were then converted into full auto guns in the 1980s) the MAC 10s were converted back to MAC-10s. And good riddance in my book. ;) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 05:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

== M1911 Question ==

I was wondering, would it be possible to take the hammer and grip safety from a [[M1911 pistol series#Colt XSE|Colt XSE]] and put them on a standard M1911A1?

==Colt 1903 Pocket Hammer==

Hi MPM. The Colt 1903 Pocket Hammer is a completely different weapon compared to the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless. The Colt 1903 Pocket Hammer is a shorter version of the Colt 1902 Military and is chambered in 38 ACP. You don't see them that much any more since the 1911 came out. We did send one out on Public Enemies but do not know if Harry used it. -[[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]
: No problem but someone at Colt was not think when they named their models. I can see the salesman trying to explain it and the customer rolling their eyes and saying what are you talking about. They had some neat weapons in those early movies. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

==Ever used one of these?==
While I was screencapping [[3:10 to Yuma (2007)]] (I'll be uploading it very soon), I saw in the special features that they use this special gun that fires balls of dust or spark so you don't have to set up squibs anywhere to imitate bullet impact. It looked pretty cool and I was wondering if you were familiar with these. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

Don't forget to tell me what you think of the watermark. If it is too big, I can make it smaller. Whatever you want. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== Re: Saturday Shoot --- more pics coming --- just a heads up ==

Thanks for the heads up, and good luck with the shoot. It sounds cool that you're going to photograph more great guns, I can't wait to see the McMillan TAC-50 and M249 , and anything else you have, you never dissapoint. If you get more western guns, that will be great, those guns look amazing and GM45 will be thrilled. It's cool that Imfdb will have pictures that no one else has or will have. Anyway, good luck with your shoot, don't work too hard. Also, can you try to get more cool Beretta handguns like the ones you uploaded last time? sorry if I'm bugging you with Berettas alot, I'm just really anxious to see you upload a Beretta 92FS Inox, it's one of the pictures I want most, that's all. Once again, good luck. Also did you tell any other armorers about Imfdb?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 05:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

:Hey, sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I have a '''burning''' request and I'm hoping you get this message before you go to CW again.

:You know those weird AKMSU clones (in 7.62x39mm) that have AKS-74U-style folding stocks? They've appeared in a zillion movies, and I know they must be the same guns being reused a lot. I think they're just full-size AK variants (Type 56s or Maadis, maybe) that have been converted with Krinkov parts kits. I have no idea whose inventory they're in, but I've seen them in a lot of movies that Mike Papac and other CW armorers worked on, which leads me to guess that CW must have at least a couple of them in inventory (unless they sub-rented from a different armory).

:Here is what I'm talking about:

[[Image:XxXAKMSU.jpg|thumb|none|500px|''[[XXX]]'']]

[[Image:BB2AKS-74U.jpg|thumb|none|500px|''[[Bad Boys II]]'']]

[[Image:A_MAN_APART-19.jpg|thumb|none|500px|''[[A Man Apart]]'']]

[[Image:TtAKMSU-9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|''[[Tropic Thunder]]'']]

They've also appeared in movies like ''[[Three Kings]]'', ''[[Crank]]'', ''[[The Kingdom]]'', etc. If you were to take a picture of one of these guns, I think it would probably become our standard AKMSU photo, because probably 90% of the AKMSU-type guns I've seen in movies seem to be these same guns. If you can get one on short notice, great. If not, no worries. But have fun! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:06, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

==Titles starting with "the"==
Personally I've always hated the format of putting "The" at the end, despite it being considered "prop format" and personally I like the titles the way they are. If it is absolutely necessary to make this change, go ahead, but I don't like it. I think titles look fine the way the are "MoviePropMaster2008, User:".

And for the people who make fun of us in chatrooms, FUCK EM! People make diggs at us all the time, but the ten or so admins. on the site work hard and productive and are constantly combating 1000s of anonymous users daily, which is more than most can say. We do what we do right and anyone who mocks our work is a dumbass. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:Getting tired of pictures? Every time you upload more guns, I feel like I'm getting presents, because I love seeing awesome new pictures of guns, especially movie guns. I almost peed myself with excitement when you uploaded all those screen-used weapons (like the P220 from "Live Free or Die Hard") on your last update.

:The titles thing may be able to be fixed as well, without actually doing any redirects. There may be a way to sort titles so that the word "The" is ignored. I know that on my iPod, bands that have the word "The" before them are grouped by the next word in their names on my "Artists" list. It can't be that hard to find a command which sorts them differently. I'll see if I can find it.

:And I share GM's sentiments on the people's who talk shit about us. They're just lames. Who cares what they think? If they were better than us, they'd actually make their own sites that are as thorough and informative as ours. Besides, I think IMFDB has already been influential in a lot of ways. I already see people on other gun boards distinguish now between a basic "AK-47" and a Norinco Type 56 look-a-like, which seems to be a trend we helped start, now that we've told people what to look for. For every negative comment I read about IMFDB, I see 10x as many people who love our site. Besides, how else do you explain the ridiculous number of views we've had in the last year? (nearly 3x as many in 2008 as 2007, the first year of operations) The numbers don't lie. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:06, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

::Nah, dude, I don't disagree with you that it's annoying, what I'm saying is that there may be a way to fix it besides doing re-directs (which is going to take ages if you want to do it). You may be able to fix the page code so that the listing ignores the word "The" if it comes at the beginning of a title. That way, a movie like "The Dark Knight" would be grouped under "D" even if it was listed as "The Dark Knight" instead of "Dark Knight, The". -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:55, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

==re: AK issues==

No, I don't hate you...actually, I've had the same thought myself for a while. The AK-47 page is getting too long and now includes variants it wasn't really meant to include. However, my idea for the solution is a bit different - that is, I'm not so sure we need to give the guns their own pages based on country of origin.

Broadly speaking, I think the AK-47 page should be limited to AK variants that are 7.62x39mm. You and I both know that the 7.62x39mm AKs which appear in movies and TV shows are the same types that used to be imported to the U.S. in the 1980s as civilian sporters. What that means is that the list is actually pretty limited - you've got the Egyptian Maadis, the Chinese Type 56s, the Hungarian SA-85Ms, and the Yugo M70s, and that's pretty much it. Of course, we've also seen the Romanian AIMS in a couple of movies (like "44 Minutes"), so maybe that one, too. So we can still classify the 7.62x39mm AKs by country, but on the SAME page instead of separate pages. You've told me yourself that armorers mostly stick to the old 1980s-vintage AKs and don't ever buy any of the newer guns (like the crappy Romaks and the Century Arms POSs), so doesn't that make our job pretty simple? We don't necessarily have to look for the more obscure derivatives that will only (at best) show up in movies filmed in countries where those guns were manufactured.

Besides grouping the 7.62x39mm AKs by their country of origin, I propose we also do the following:

*-'''Put the Norinco Type 84 on the [[AK-74]] page instead''': The logic being, the Type 84 often stands in for the AK-74 in American and Canadian movies/TV shows ("Stargate: SG1" being a good example), so why not put it on a page with the gun it's meant to imitate?
*-'''Move ALL AK-100 variants to their own page''' Even though they're basically modest updates of the classic AK-47 design, they're still different enough by name that I think they need their own page.
*-'''Keep any AK derivatives that are significantly different on their pages''' What this means is that something like the AEK-971 should not be on the AK-47 page. And likewise, the Galil and Valmet (which already have their own pages) need to be kept there.
*-'''Refuse to allow any foreign-made derivatives that don't appear in at least a few movies'''

How do you think that sounds? Maybe my defensive reflex is a bit strong on this, but I do really want to keep weapons that are basically identifiable as AK-47s and AKMs on one page. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey, MPM, how do movie effects people do RPG fire? Is it all CG, do they launch a dummy tip and edit it out, or what?

I knew somebody would start changing the titles like that eventually, a few users complained about it, and a website even noted to look for titles beginning with '''The''' in the '''T''' section.

I just finished [[The Boondock Saints]] and am in a pause between movies, were you planning to do this one or can I (I noticed you added shots)? It's been at the bottom of my pile for a while and it wouldn't hurt to start digging from the bottom now. If you have stuff saved, you can of course do it, but if not let me know if I can. Thanks. Great gun pics you've uploaded, we've needed a G36 for a while and the StG 44 is excellent. Superb work. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:I did the Matrix on my sister's laptop, which puts out some really big pics. I sent them to my desktop and uploaded them on the site but didn't have time to resize them. They look fuzzy? I thought they looked great. I'll be doing the other Matrix movies on the laptop too, but I'll try to resize those shots first. I'm super pissed right now because I screencapped Mr. & Mrs. Smith and 50 of the screencaps didn't save. So now I have to go back and grab the shots, many of which are from gun heavy scenes. So I had planned to upload the caps by tommorow but my crappy as computer has other plans. BTW, I only use my sister's laptop when the DVD doesn't have the right format and won't play on my screencapper (a rarity, but it happens), so I don't use it too often. It's her computer so I obviously can't bogart it for my own means alone. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Your images look a lot better, but didn't you buy this special machine that screencaps VHS and DVDs? I'd assume that would put out better images than any simple DVD player like mine. If I had put more time into it, I could have brightened the pictures to look better (I do that more commonly when adding caps to one of your pages, because my caps look like crap next to yours if I don't edit them). Compared to my regular desktop images, you can see why I would find the laptop ones more appealing. You'll see when I upload Mr. & Mrs. Smith that I brightened the pics. My personal favorite screencap from the Matrix is the Desert Eagle cycling blanks, it just looks cool. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

::BTW, how come your images are so small? Usually when I upload images, they are just a little bigger than the sample picture with a full resolution preview. Yours have no higher resolution.

== re: Congratulations! ==

Thanks! It's an honor to be a part of such a talented group. And I certainly understand, no need taking a risk when it's not necessary! While we're on the subject of controlling some of the stuff anonymous users add, I recall seeing a section about spoilers on the forums. I noticed today that someone had changed some of the words on my page for ''[[Godfather Part III, The]]'' to include some spoilers about the action happening (such as main characters getting killed, etc.) I realize this user was probably trying to help others specifically note when the gun was used, but that's what the screencaps are for. Would it be rude to rollback some of this user's suggestions to the previous format (which was more vague about deaths and killings in the film) or were they correct in adding this information? - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

== re: Spoilers ==

Absolutely, that helped a ton! There are also a few in the ''[[Scarface]]'' page which, in my opinion, needs some revamping (especially since its one of our most popular pages). I'm thinking of capping it sometime soon when I have about four hours to spare, so hopefully it'll look very cleaned up relatively soon. - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

==Mr. & Mrs. Smith pistols==
I had them IDed as a Browning Buckmark Camper with a suppressor and a Ruger Mk III with a suppressor. Your caps are a tad clearer than mine, and now I'm even more sure I was right. (I'll likely use your caps instead of mine since they show the guns better)

As for the big room full of pistols, that is awesome. I can just image that when you open the door, blinding light shines through and a choir sings. I could spends hours upon hours in there.

BTW, the Beretta 93R pic looks great.

I'm almost done working on M&MS, it's a big movie and has been taking me a long time to finish. I've also brightened my caps so they look nice. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:Yeah, I love when you post the pictures of vaults/armories and such. Thanks for sharing those with us. Also, the new gun pics lately (the G36, Sturmgewehr, Beretta 93R, etc.) are much appreciated!

Wow, all I can say is Handgun Heaven! That collection truly is amazing, it has everything from Flintlocks to Semi-Automatics, I enjoy it when you take pictures of vaults and museum cases, they're really cool. Btw, the G36 rifles, the Beretta 93R, and the other photos you uploaded this past week are amazing, thank you for uploading.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:48, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

== Who supplied armorers [[CornerShot|CornerShot's]] ==

I been to every gun selling site and read every youtube video and could not ever find a
[[CornerShot|CornerShot]] on auction. Probably because CNN said this weapon system will onfortunately not be sold to civilians.

==SP89 used in ''The Rock''==
Hi, I would like to know more about the H&K SP89 used in The Rock (1996).

Was it actually, based on a H&K SP-89? or just a H&K MP5k plus a SP89 type front grip?

Also,i would like to know What's the trigger set of it? 0-1? S-E-F? or with Navy type?

Would you mind to post a photo of it?

Thx a lot~

==Reply==
I'd probably stick my hand in the cubby with the MP5K-PDWs or the one with the sawed off/pistol grip shotguns below it to the left.

As for the "Colt 25", it is indeed a Colt 1908 Pocket chambered in .25 ACP, but most newcomers (and the person who made the page) know the cheap airsoft gun's name, which is the "Colt 25". - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::I was reading the Dawn of the Dead page, and I agree that the M16 they used looks more real than an Armscor. I own an Armscor M1600, it hits almost dead-on at 80yards but the pistol grip cracked so I don't use it much anymore. It hardly looks like an M16 at all. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Re: Colt Mustang==
I don't know. I had originally changed the Mustang because it had its own page and added it to the 1911. Basically it is still a Compact 1911 variant in .380 ACP (even refered to as Colt Government Model .380 by some and derived from such), but then again they make the Imbel M973 in 9mm and the Imbel MD1 in .38 Super Auto and both of them are fit for the 1911 page and based on the 1911 model. So my vote is no. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

The Chamelot Delvigne Model 1873 was issued in the white only they were never blued by the French.

==Re: Die Hard 2 "MP5s"==

I don't think we can call the MP5A3s in ''[[Die Hard 2]]'' "fake" MP5A3s because if you look closely, they don't seem to be partial conversions. On Stewart's MP5, you can see that it has a barrel with three attachment lugs, and the lower receiver has a pushpin (for swapping out different types) and a flipper magazine release. The partially-converted HK94s wouldn't have any of that stuff.

The MP5 handled by McClane (the one with the scope) may or may not be an HK94 partial conversion; I will have to check my DVD to be sure. But for now, I'm just going to call them MP5A3s because unless the gun is a partial HK94 conversion, we shouldn't call it a "fake" MP5 (even though we both know that 99% of transferable MP5s in the U.S. were actually converted from HK94s). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

:Oh, I don't disagree with you that we should separate the HK94s from the MP5 if they are '''partial''' conversions. I've been trying to do that more and more often myself (see my ''[[Air Force One]]'' page, for instance). But the only thing I'm saying is, '''the Die Hard 2 MP5s are ''not'' partial conversions.''' Therefore, we can't really call them "fake". I think your eye just slipped. The ones in the movie are the full conversions which are visually indistinguishable from standard MP5A3s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:04, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

::Just checked my DVD. The scoped MP5A3 used by McClane is also a full conversion (it has an SEF lower and barrel lugs, which are visible when he pulls it out of the snow, takes out the mag, and realizes it's loaded with blanks). But it's all good, since we're on the same page now, as you said. ;)

::I do appreciate the new pics! The AKMS and SL8 are quite nice, but the main one I was happy about was the S&W Sigma SW9F you gave me for my ''[[American Dragons]]'' page.

I love the new screenshots, way better than the crappy Youtube stills I had up. Thanks a lot for screencapping this page for me. One note though; the tank used in the film is actually a Ti-67; a T55 that was modified by the Israeli's , most notably having the main gun upgraded from the original 100mm D-10T to a western-built 105mm L7 gun (the same kind used in the American M60 Patton and the earliest version of the M1 Abrams).

I saw this film several times on TV a few years back, but I haven't been able to catch more than Youtube clips (where the previous low-res screenshots came from) lately. Some of the info came from those clips, while the rest came from memory and research on IMDB and Wikipedia. As for the screenshot captions, I don't mind at all, makes my job easier.

Hey great work on the OM page. I don't have the ability to capture stills from a DVD with my PC (I don't think I do) so way to go. [[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]]

== Yep I'm a fan of Omega Man. ==

I'm forty-one and I remember going to a drive in with my parents back in the summer of 73 and watching Omega Man. It was the second feature, but dad says that I stayed awake for the entire movie. Pretty impressive for a five year old.

I own a copy of I Am Legend, but I prefer OM. Own both actually.

The only guns I own from the movie are a 1911A1 and a 1903A3.Whoops sorry I do own an M-1 carbine as well. I own several S&W revolvers , but unfortunately they never make an appearance in the movie. And I belong to a couple Omega Man websites. For those who like the movie.

It belonged to the ''[[Quigley Down Under]]'' page, but I had replaced all the images later on since QDU was my first page I screencapped and had all widescreen shots.

I can imagine it must be frustrating to have people messing with your work. It annoys me how people like Kin93 almost MASS-PRODUCE your images in this manner, and I don't see your name anywhere on "his" pics. At least Steve told you he used your M16A1 and M16 pics. Kin93 never even contacted you. Anyway, hope your hiatus ends soon, we all love your gun pics and apoligize for those who don't appreciate them. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:On the other hand, I don't think you should take it too personally if IMFDB users make "franken gun" pictures. Yes, they should give you credit (as Kin93 failed to do), but it doesn't mean they don't appreciate your work. Whenever someone does that to you again, you should warn them that you don't like them butchering your work, but please don't treat all of IMFDB as if we're like this.

Thank you, sir. Though I think did get maybe a ''little'' carried away with pics of the Glock 19 (seven total, one of which shows just the magazine).

Watching "Executive Decision" has given me the worst urge to go out and blow $$$$$ I need for tuition on a Gen 1 Glock 19.

''When I see the 'crazy terrorist' with the Norinco Type 56-1 I always expect him to scream "I Blow You! Mother Bitches!!!!!" hahahahahaha.''

==Re:Redacted==
I can image that movie offended you (and other veterans), it made all soldiers look like pyschopathic rapists. But I cannot say I would want it removed. Why? Because then we are just as one-sided as the admins. on Wikipedia who delete all the negative crap about President Obama (remember how much we criticized that?). While the movie is offensive (as is Bowling for Columbine), they still have guns so who are we to say they are unfit to be documented on here. (but understand I still am for what you said, the movie was very offensive).

I'm a good example of why Redacted should stay on the site (about 4 years ago). I watched the film but didn't know all the guns that well, and thought "I wonder what they are using. What AK is that?" Even though I didn't like the movie these questions still arose. I doubt I'm the only person in the world who's done this, so those who hated the movie but still wanted to know what guns were used are at a loss.

So my vote for deletion is "no". - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

I like the changes you made to the fictional firearm titles, but gramatically speaking, the apostrophe should be before the 's'. It would only be placed after if it is a plural word ending in 's'.

Nah, unfortunately, I totally forgot about the BDA when I did the page. Gunmaster was the one who recognized it based on your picture. For some reason, I kept thinking it was a Beretta of some kind and spent 20 minutes searching Beretta photos. My brain is kinda dead right now because I let myself get talked into running 8 miles this afternoon, on only 4 hrs. sleep.

I don't think it's a problem if you want to create pages for some new guns that may/may not be in movies. The only thing I find annoying is when people make pages for guns that ''couldn't'' appear in movies because they're only rare prototypes or variants that you know armorers wouldn't have (like the original SR9). Also, if you ever want to upload your MAG-7 shotgun picture, we can put it on the ''[[Romeo + Juliet]]'' page. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==Barb Wire==

Hey,

It's awesome you're screencapping ''[[Barb Wire]]'', but I thought I'd make some comments here (so we don't have edit conflicts) after looking at the screencaps with my eagle eyes ;)

*(1.) The SIG-Sauer is a P228, not a P226. You can see in the first shot that the trigger guard is rounded, not squared like on the 226. Denzel Washington used an identical gun (maybe even the same one) in the movie "Virtuosity", with that same custom laser-control grip. LMO has a picture of it on their site under their "Movie Guns" section.
*(2.) The gun you IDed as a Browning Hi-Power also seems to be the two-tone P228.
*(3.) The Congressionals' M16s look to me like the MGC replica M16s, except with A2 handguards and A1 flash hiders. If you look closely, it seems they have the same style forward assist as the MGC M16s.

Here's the "Virtuosity" P228, which, again, looks like it's the same one that's used in "Barb Wire": http://www.longmountain.com/movieguns/Virtuosity

:I don't think it matters TOO much. I use widescreen myself when I can, but full frame is fine, too. As long as the guns are visible, that will do. :)

:As far as replacing the Franken-guns, go for it. I've said before - nobody's entitled to complain when you replace images because yours are better (and they involve actual effort besides just going to Google or Photoshopping other pics). However, I'm starting to wonder how we can even begin to get every single variant.

I watched ''[[Enemy at the Gates]]'' last night and saw some guns you missed, so I added the caps to the page, as well as a few minor add ons to the existing guns.

: Like I said, it is ''your'' page, you can remove any images I added if you don't like them. I only added one image to the Mosin Nagant section so Joseph Fiennes could have an image for his page if needed, and added two to the sniper version, because they were pretty good close ups.

==Category:B&W==
Hey MPM, I like your new sub-category for B&W films I came up with an idea for you. How about a category for Widescreen since it did not exist until after World War II somewhere about 1951 or 1952. Just a thought for you. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]
: Happy Easter to you too MPM. Don't let them get to you. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

==Bionic Woman==

Nice job on the page! It needs gun photos and links, of course, but we'll get on that. Anyway, here are some quick observations...

*(1.) The MP5s you IDed as MP5A4s seem to have collapsible stocks, which makes them MP5A5s.
*(2.) The Serbian gangster's pistol, which you IDed as an S&W 5904, looks like a Browning BDA (the DA version of the Hi-Power, not the BDA-380).
*(3.) John got the last two right...they are a CZ-75 (or some clone) and a two-tone Walther P99, respectively.

Take care. Hope you had a happy Easter! Also, when I get home (I'm at work now...ugh) I'll have to put in my "Die Hard III" DVD and see where that Seecamp 32 that's on LMO's site appeared. I really don't remember it, but I'll look for you. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:53, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

==RE:==

Ah, thanks for the new gun pictures! We '''really''' needed a two-tone Walther P99 because there are a LOT of movies that have them (''[[The Bourne Supremacy]]'', ''[[Underworld]]'', ''[[A History of Violence]]'', ''[[Far Cry (2009)|Far Cry]]'', etc.) I thought about asking you for one a while ago, but decided I should let you prioritize other stuff. Also, while I don't have screencaps for it, there were Browning BDAs used by Tibetan separatists in an episode of ''[[Ultimate Force]]'', so we can use that one on that page, too.

''Also what is with the gigantic ... but blurry ... screenshots that I see other users uploading?''

==Spawn AMT 380 Backup Pistol==
Hey MPM, That AMT 380 Backup Pistol that's used in Spawn is just dirty or due to the lighting. AMT built the Backups in Stainless Steel only with the frame and top of the slide bead blasted. My aunt worked at AMT and I knew Harry Sanford since I was a kid until he passed away. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]
:Hey MPM, No problem on the id for the Backup. AMT which was the last name for that company had several locations. As a kid I went to two different El Monte shops and my aunt worked at both Covina and Irwindale. I think my aunt has a couple of the earlier Backups I will see if I can get a photo of them. I filled in a few blank spots on unknown weapons on pages. It was fun doing that as making new pages can get a little tiring. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

==AMT==

The AMT Backup is really nice! It's good we have a picture of one for my ''Spawn'' page. I was about to upload a Google image search result, but obviously, yours is waaayy better.

So, I checked "Die Hard III" (got through about an hour last night, another hour this afternoon) and I don't know where the hell that Seecamp .32 appears in the movie. Either my eagle eyes are failing me (possible), or LMO got their facts wrong. Or maybe it was rented for "Die Hard III" for a scene that wasn't filmed. But it appears nowhere in the finished film that I can tell. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:32, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

==RE:==

That would be REALLY cool if you got pictures of some of the sci-fi guns. There are a lot of pics of the Moritas floating around the 'Net, but most of them are (A.) shit quality, or (B.) the rubber stunt versions. We both know yours will inevitably be 100x better! Haha.

Also, I notice you were curious about these machine pistols from ''[[Timecop]]'':

[[Image:TimeCop-AutoGunS00a.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|]]

I don't know what this damn thing is called, but it appears in quite a few TV shows and movies. Excalibur got some GREAT pics of them appearing in ''[[Smallville]]'':

[[Image:Clownrobbers2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]

They also appeared in at least one episode of the TV show ''[[Viper]]'' (which also had the ''[[Timecop]]'' Taurus PT99 in its pilot episode) and I think I remember seeing them in an episode of ''[[The X-Files]]'' as well. Some of the ones used in ''[[Smallville]]'' seem to be the same ones used in ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'', and we have a picture of a rubber stunt version:

[[Image:Gun Cylon stunt.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]

I agree with you about the overwrites, I think you should be only one who is allowed to decide whether your images are to be overwritten or not.

Hey MPM, Thanks for the compliment on the old movies that I have been posting. Some of them are harder to get clean screencaps on as the master has not been restored. But that is something I a lot of in my own library so I will keep filling the empty spots. I also have westerns dating back than also those will come in due time. One more note for you as it is important to both of us SAG signed Friday and will announce Monday. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

== re: bourne ==

Thanks! Yeah, I figured that because of its age and its less action-oriented story it would have less guns but it surprised me! Trying to identify that rifle really bothered me, I looked through a bunch of H&K and SIG rifles but then when I saw the side shot of it (which is much too brief), I wondered the same thing about the Ruger. That was really the only trouble I had save for the two pistols I currently have labelled as "unidentified" and the CZ-82 I had labelled as a Makarov (but GM45 helped out a good bit with identifying that, as well as noting the Beretta as an original 92 model rather than the 92S I had it labelled as). All in all it wasn't a bad movie at all, if some parts were a little slow (probably to draw in a more diverse audience rather than the typical espionage/action crowd.

==Re: New images==

'''Nice!''' I'm so glad we have a two-tone Jericho now. It seems like every other action movie made these days features the lead bad guy using a gun in the exact same configuration. As far as getting a two-tone FS model, I think it's mostly the British armorers who use that model because as best I know, the 941FS was the only version ever sold in Europe. I think the two-tone 941FS pistols that you see in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'', ''[[Casino Royale]]'', ''[[Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life]]'', and ''[[Children of Men]]'' are all the exact same gun, because all of those shows were supplied by Crowntower, Ltd. (according to credits). It's likely that you're seeing the same pistol being reused in many films. Fortunately, there are plenty of American action movies which use the original model with the slide safety in two-tone (i.e. my page for ''[[Under Siege 2: Dark Territory]]'').

I'm also happy to have a good Benelli M3, too! Thanks again for all of these. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

== Nice! ==

Awesome work on the new pictures, we needed a two tone Jericho 941. From the looks of it many of the movies on here use the early model Jerichos, the only page I've seen that had a Jericho without the safety on the slide is [[District B13]]. Anyway, Thanks for the new gun pictures, they're highly appreciated. By the way, is there a such thing as a reverse two tone Jericho 941? Just wondering.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 21:11, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
::Excellent work, I kind of missed seeing your work. Screencaps improve the site but your images complete it :). If the '94 doesn't have a saddle ring or holes for one, it isn't a saddle ring. I'd say its a Trapper Carbine, is the barrel 16"?

This is irrelevant, but I got to hand a Federal M201-Z gas gun today. I went to this man's house who was a former Correctional Officer, and he owns one.

As much as I love the Resident Evil videogames and it's guns, I would have to say no to a Samurai Edge page. The Samurai Edge is basically a Beretta 92FS with modified parts, but is still visually the same looking gun, not too different to be worth noting on anything else beside the videogame pages, mockups such as the Aliens' Pluse Rifle are a different story. Plus, not only did he make the page, but it seems that the user copied and pasted the entire article off the Resident Evil Wiki up to the placement of the images, See here [http://residentevil.wikia.com/wiki/Samurai_Edge], and you'll notice everything is the same.

Hi MPM, I was wondering if you could help me out with something. Me and my dad are building 12 Gauge shotgun blanks with a reloading press for a movie I'm making in June with some friends, and we were wondering, is there an alternative method of packing in the power than to keep the plastic wad in? Because that plastic wad can be lethal and while we know are safety, sometimes we have to fire blanks at people. Now, he figures something like a wad of cardboard could replace it, but we don't want to try anything unsafe without some more information.

Since a box of 20 blanks is $30 bucks, we figure shotgun blanks are way cheaper to make ourselves. I hope you know a method, or else I may have to pull out the heavy kevlar vests my dad has ;). Or we are going to have to use a LOT more camera tricks. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Re: Inox==

Yeah, two-tone P226s are pretty common in movies. The "reverse two-tone" from ''[[2 Fast 2 Furious]]'' is rare (mostly because it wasn't available that way from the factory), but the normal two-tone (nickel slide, black frame, nickel controls) has been in plenty of movies. At the very least, I figured we needed one for the ''[[Face/Off]]'' and ''[[Bad Boys II]]'' pages, since the tutone P226 is very prominently featured in both of those movies.

As far as the Inox goes, whenever you can get around it, please do it. The fact that we don't have a good image of a 92FS Inox is kind of embarrassing, since the stock image used on our Beretta 92 series page has appeared on almost 75 movie/TV show pages now. The way I see it, the more a gun image appears on IMFDB, the more urgent it is that it needs to be replaced if it hasn't received the MPM2008 treatment yet.

And yes, I agree that the newer Inox Berettas are pretty ugly; the fact that the controls are now black was obviously done to lower production costs. The older ones look way better. Also, I don't think I've seen an Inox with black controls in a movie (besides ''[[Shaft]]'', which featured those cheap 8mm blank replicas that also had black controls), and as I know we agree, it's best to use guns that look identical to the ones which our visitors have seen in their favorite action films. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:29, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

This shows the most-used images on IMFDB, and of course, they're all gun images. Anyway, you can see that most of them are gun images you uploaded, but a few in the Top 25 aren't. The Browning M2 image that was uploaded by Bunni when this site was started has been on 108 pages, the Inox image has been on 74, and the M60 has been on 70.

I say get rid of any experimental or old gun pages, since they have no chance of appearing in anything anyway, Cutaway created way too many pages like that. But we should keep the ones you created since you're a movie armorer, and like you said, they're already blank adopted, so they have a chance at appearing in a movie eventually, plus they're nice pictures. So my opinion is to get rid of the experimental guns, and keep the pages you created even if they don't appear in anything because you never when you'll be called to a set or work on a movie that will need them.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 20:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

==RE:==

First of all, I'm sorry I merged the Zastava M70 page without asking you. However, I didn't '''delete''' the page for that gun; I simply copied the text onto the AK-47 page and then '''re-directed''' the page to go to the Zastava M70 entry on the AK-47 page. If you type in "Zastava M70" in the search engine, it will take you to the new page.

If you want to change it back, that's cool, but I must ask you to consider whether your objections have merit. You seem to be worried that people won't be able to find the Zastava M70; if we do '''re-directs''', then this doesn't happen. And remember that our previous discussion about where to put the M70 was before we knew how to do re-directs.

Also, if SB2296 actually '''deleted''' the PSL page without doing a re-direct, then he is '''not''' doing the same thing I do. I would never want users to be confused; but I think that with re-directs, this doesn't happen. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:39, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

:The M70 may be built on an RPK receiver, but surely you can't deny that its '''role''' is that of an automatic rifle, not an LMG or squad automatic weapon (like the RPK)? Everything else about the gun is roughly AK-based (albeit with the many modifications specific to Serb needs, like the GL sight). That's how I see it - the AK-47 page is more-or-less intended for AK-type '''rifles''', not light machine guns. And the M70 is, fundamentally, still a rifle, even if it's built on an LMG receiver. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

::You raise a good point, and I actually considered moving the Galil and Valmet pages a while ago. Which raises another point - I wound up not doing it because the Valmet M78 and Galil look very different from the AK-47 or AKM, even though the receiver design is very similar. Whereas the M70 still does look like an AK, and is usually used to impersonate Russian AK variants in movies. On the other hand, I would ''maybe'' consider moving the Valmet M78 to the RPK page, since we both know that the M78 has most often been used in Hollywood to impersonate RPKs.

::Again, I don't want to sound like I'm fighting you too much or anything, and I don't want us to get '''too''' upset about this. I only raise these points because I think it's worth asking ourselves how to be consistent in our classification scheme. These are, of course, issues that are inherent to guns that don't fit into a particular page or category so easily.

::Also, before I forget...thanks so much for the new pictures you've uploaded recently! Where did you get those Howa Type 89s? It says on Wikipedia that the Type 89 was never exported out of Japan. It's also really nice that we have a good Blaser R93 picture. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:30, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

==FPK / PSL Sniper Rifle Page==
Hey MPM, I changed the FPK / PSL Sniper Rifle page back to it original format and added info explaining that the weapon is based on the stamped receiver RPK and not the Dragunov. Some think that it's a SVD but it's not it's more like a Yugo .308 AK. So all in good now. -[[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

==RE: Why do people forget Category:Movie?==

Yeah, I agree with you there. It just annoyed me because it's right in the description before they create page using the box, but like you said, it's probably better if they don't. One thing I hate the most is having a visitor find their favorite movie in the Categories, and clicking on it to find a blank or poorly made page, but hopefully that problem will be phased out with time. By the way, I got rid of and deleted those crappy movie templates that [[User: Dragon]] made, so you guys don't have to worry about seeing them anymore.

==Czech BRNO VZ24 Mauser==
Hey MPM, The Czech BRNO VZ24 Mauser Rifles built before the war were similar to the M24 Yugo or 1935 Peruvian with straight bolt handle, long handguard and different rear sight. It was during the war that the Germans changed them to K98K standard. We had them both in Ellis Mercantile pre-war VZ24 and wartime production. I think that if it is a VZ24 wartime production it should be in the K98k page as they were K98k but the pre war rifles should be on the Mauser Rifle page. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

==Small Request==
MPM, I know you're not taking requests right now, but I have a small one compared to my last request (The Proffessionals Ithaca 37; I'm sorry about adding it to your to-do list). Could you possibly create a Cobray M11/9 with a MAC-11 style stock (the parts are interchangable, right)? We could use it for our ''[[S.W.A.T.]]'' and ''[[Hard Boiled]]'' pages. Thanks and have a great summer. - [[User:Swordfish941|Swordfish941]]

==CZ75 WITHOUT Ring Hammer==
Hey, MPM, protoAuthor here. Do you have an early-edition CZ75? One without the ring hammer, but with the...damn, forget the term, but the 1911-looking hammer.

==Seven Days==

Yes, I am an absent-minded moron. I admit it. I even checked the page history and then forgot who I was planning to address. :)

Anyway, watching the AVIs of ''[[Seven Days]]'' has made me realize what a ridiculous number of franken-M16s there are in the biz. This show has some of the same XM177 mock-ups seen in ''[[The Rock]]'' and other movies/TV shows - the ones that have M16A2 receivers but chopped barrels with the fake XM177-style compensators. I've seen some episodes that also feature M16 SP1s with A2 hand guards and A1 flash hiders (just like in ''[[The X-Files]]''). Any chance you'd be willing to do some more franken-M16 pictures, or let me Photoshop a few? (of course, I won't do it without your permission)

Here's a couple from Season 1 episodes:

== Over reacting ==

Ok, I might agree the Team America one deleting might have been over doing it. I was just pissed off that no one cares about South Park, The Simpsons, and American Dad, not to mention Family Guy. I see HUGE discussions on what kind of weapons they are using when clearly most of them were fictional guns drew up because the guy drawing doesnt know a thing about guns or wasnt told to be more detail with them, the rest of the shows look like doodles, why make the guns look like guns. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 07:34, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

== VG guns ==

Well some games can be forgiven to be a little bit lack of detail, but quite a few games do go out, record the sound of the real gun shots and use those in the final production, the bigger problem most gamers has with VG guns is more on their accuracy and power compared to the real thing. VG developers sometimes significantly just make guns that would be powerful and accurate as hell weak as fuck for the sake of game balance. And going with Modern Warfare 2, some of the guns are just stupid for what real world special forces would use. I mean the Bushmaster ACR? I can see how it has military uses, but I don't even think it was even considered for military use. Russian Ultranationalist using AUGs and FAMAS? Spas 12s? Oh yeah and the one big thing a Kriss Super V. That thing last I heard wasn't even in full production yet and they somehow have Russian terrorists get ahold of one? At least with COD4, they were semi consistent with what primary guns people use, the SAS and Marines using M4 weapons, the enemy using AKs, but the random USPs, Berettas and the one mission where you as the SAS trooper holding and M24 sniper rifle was just piss poor. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 07:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

== RE: VG guns ==
I agree with you MPM, but only because most of those experimental and rare guns are pieces of shit. For exemple, look at how many games have the XM8! The XM8 sucks ass and video game developers love them. The same thing happens with the XM29. It's a piece of shit and video game developers love them because it looks futuristic and cool. It also happens wtih the SPAS-12. It's really fucking weird to see a discontinued, really expensive shotgun being used by police or Military soldiers in video games.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 18:55, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

:Speaking as someone who first got into modern military/LE weaponry by doing weapons skins for ''[[Half-Life]]'' mods in my teens, I can say that most game dev teams really have no common sense when it comes to weapons. The SPAS-12 is actually a very good example. I remember on my first mod (which never got finished), there was a lot of disagreement amongst the members of my team over what type of shotgun we were going to have. Most members wanted the SPAS-12 because they all thought it looked cooler, while I wanted a pistol-grip Mossberg with heat shield (I had just been to a gun show where I had the chance to hold one, and being 17, I thought it was the coolest gun ever). Ultimately, the SPAS-12 won out when we voted on our forum. Of course, this was an unprofessional mod being designed by high school and college students, but most of the professional teams in the business aren't that much different - the designers are all geeks who have zero real-life experience with firearms. Whenever they choose which guns are going to appear in the game, the team members almost always pick what they've seen in other video games or their favorite movies. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

== RE: SPAS 12 ==
Yes, the SPAS-12 apears in movies all the time, however, i was talking about how it's weird to see SPAS-12s being used by Militarys and terrorist/criminals because they are discountinued(I probably spelled that wrong) and expensive. The SPAS-12 does needs a place in IMFDB. So does the XM8 even though the only XM8s that appear in movies and television are Mock-ups like the ones in XXX 2.-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 20:52, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your editing of things specifically the star trek page which looks great now. You're Awsome!!!!!!

==Re: Our own movie==

OK, so the idea of IMFDB doing its own action movie (with an actual budget, storyline, and production staff) is a total fantasy, but here's something a little more grounded in reality: What would you think of a short home-made video where we show off some blank-adapted firearms, provide narration describing how they work, maybe even do a brief firing demo where we fire a few rounds through a pistol at someone's range? IMFDB already has a YouTube account (under Bunni's name) - we would just post it there. Nothing too fancy - just a video that would explain to people that, contrary to popular belief, the guns they see in movies are real. I'm still amazed at how many people seem to think they're "fake" (just talked to another gun owner on another message board who initially didn't believe me).

Also, that reminds me...what are rental fees at the armories nowadays? Does it cost significantly more to rent adapt a blank-adapted pistol as it costs me to rent an unmodified pistol from my local range? Of course, I'm guessing blanks themselves are the bigger expense (since the armories all do their own loads). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:55, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

:Oh, yeah, and by this, I mean that the blank-adapted firearms in the video would be rented/borrowed from one of the major rental armories. If that's even possible... -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:00, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

:::ProtoAuthor, I have been on some film sets (mostly when I was younger and several major shows were filmed in my home town), and I know enough about the industry to know that that's not a realistic goal.

:::That being said, the best I can say is that I'd rent one of the guns that hasn't "paid for itself" in rentals yet (i.e. one of your Springfield XDs or FNPs), so it would be a step forward to a return on the investment. But I do understand the issue with blanks, that and the fact that I appreciate how hard it is given your schedule. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:22, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

:::''rule of thumb is usually 10% of full replacement costs for one week.''

:::So, in other words, an $800 pistol would rent for $80 a week? Does it adjust as a gun loses Blue Book value? (i.e. do Gen 2 Glocks rent for lower prices than Gen 3 Glocks)? Also, I'm guessing daily rentals or student rates aren't SOP? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:13, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

==Standardize Template Layout==
Hi, As we are moving forward with the new layout on the Guns and Actors pages. We need to finalize a standard layout for the Template. We have been changing gun pages over and they do look better but everyone has their own style. Dates for instance some are on the right side some on the left, some have the most current movie at the top and some have the oldest. Then we have other issues like the headers are different from one poster to another. We need to fix these issues now before we have a ton of double work to do. Please give you feedback on pages completed like the [[M1911 pistol series]] and the [[Steyr AUG]] so we can have a standard on these pages. Thanks - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

I prefer Chronological order as well, since it neatly documents each year the guns appeared each year without needing a character to use it.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 04:37, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

:I figured there was already a consensus that we do things by chronological order? I definitely agree with the idea, 100%. Also, in situations where we have multiple movies featuring the same gun in one year, then we go to alphabetical order within those years only. For example, if we have listed ten films, all released in 1996, that feature the Beretta 92F, those ten films should be alphabetical order. There might even be a way to change the columns so that we won't have to write "1996" for all ten films, though I have no idea how right now. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:58, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

==Updated Template==
Thanks to everyone for the response. I have changed the first entry in the [[M1911#M1911|1911]] page to a blend of both mine, MPM and MT2008 which looks very nice right now. As to the other suggestions on lines for each entry I have posted samples at [[Talk:Test Template Page#Anime|Talk:Test Template Page]]. The third sample looks the best as in not quite as busy as the others. The colors can be changed to a lighter gray or blue if that need to be changed to make it a little more eye appealing. It looks like we are getting close to a standard on this pretty quick. As for added actors using the same weapon I have always included them on the listing instead of trying to place multiple actors on one entry that way it has less clutter. Thanks on your input on this. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

==Zombieland Mare's Leg pistol==
I understand my comment on the Mare's Leg gun disrupted the flow of the page, so I figured I'd tell you a little bit about it. I'd assume it is a C.B. Custom model. They've been selling the "Mare's Leg" in typical pistol calibers (.38spl, .45LC, .357Mag) and consider it a pistol so civilians can buy it without paying a tax for a cut down rifle. Since the gun looks so new and shiny, this could be assumed. Also, they sell the gun with a non-loop lever. LSI (Legacy Sports International) has also been reproducing Mare's Leg guns since 2008, so perhaps this film bought one brand new from the company to show it off (but since the movie was filmed at this time it would be BRAND new). - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Navy SEALs==
Hey MPM, would it be okay if I uploaded a few screencaps for [[Navy SEALs]]? When I say a few, I mean a FEW. I just wanted to add some guns you missed.

* Terrorists fire a DShK (or M2 mock up) at a helicopter during the film's start

* FN FAL seen in soldier's hands in news footage.

* Sheen uses a Browning Hi-Power to shoot a terrorist when he finds the conversation "boring".

* Stinger missile launcher, which is kind of pivotal to the whole story.

* One of the SEALs is seen holding a 92FS in one scene (during the night raid), it had a squared trigger guard.

I promise I won't fill up the page with huge amounts of screencaps, in fact I think each gun should only hail one or two caps each, total. I don't think I'll need to add any extra caps to the existing guns either, unless I come across something really, REALLY good. :) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::After screencapping it, I noticed all types of AK variants are seen, not just AK-47s and AKMS's. The Hi-Power was a CZ-75. The new footage had an FN FAL, and M16A1 with jungle taped magazines, and a DShK. The gun at the beggining is the same type of mocked up M2HB from Rambo III, except it is a dual mount. And a terrorist APC is seen fitted with dual M1919 .30 calibers. There are some other guns too but that was just some of the stuff I caught. I took a few more extra screencaps for the existing guns than I thought I would, so I'll put those in the discussion and let you okay them. Sound good? - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:::Shit. Damn my impatience! Well I only added some extras to the existing guns on the page and filled out the AKs in better detail. I'll leave everything else to you, and hey, if you miss anything once your done I still have all my screencaps saved and ready to use. Sorry to tread on your toes. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

Hey, I haven't checked the forums in awhile so I don't know if anyone's had this idea before, but I was wondering if we should set up a way of making pages for movie armorers or at least one page with the armorers and links to the movies they've done. I'm not sure how it would be set up, but I just wanted to consult with anyone else to see if this would be a good idea. I figured these guys do a ton of work and it'd be great to see who all's worked on what, etc. Again, if anyone's had this idea before just ignore this but I was just thinking it might be neat to honor these guys.

== Smith & Wesson Model 5943 ==
I read your comment regarding the 5943. I don't know if I came off as rude, condescending, or arrogant, but I assure you I did not intend offense nor did I mean to slight you in any way. I am merely a gun enthusiast whose knowledge is evergrowing, much like the rest of the people on this site.

The Smith & Wesson number system dictates that a "5943" is a full size, double action only, alloy framed gun, and there are numerous examples of this. However, the gun pictured to represent the 5943 has the 3.5 inch barrel of many of the 69 Series guns. You know without a doubt that it's a 5943, which, since I can't confirm with you due to your real life projects, I can only assume you can confirm by the marking number stamped on the frame. After looking some more online, I've found two possible answers to this phenomena. One, someone could have merged a 6946 slide assembly with a 5943 frame, but I don't know if you got the gun secondhand or not, so this isn't likely. The other answer is the 5943 SSV (short slide variant) which is exactly like the one you have pictured. I'll attach a link to an example. It has a blued slide, but I did find an example with a stainless slide, but the picture was removed before I could save it.

Again, sorry if I offended you, I'm just trying to figure something out and learn.

==Re: Primeval==

''I just saw a chopped and converted HK94 (masquerading as an MP5) on the BBC show "Primevel" tonight. WTF? Why on earth would the British Armorers have such a thing?''

Hmmmm, that is odd. I imagine that there were at least some HK94s imported to the U.K. before the 1987 Hungerford Massacre (and the subsequent ban on semi-auto rifles and shotguns), so it's possible that a few were acquired by the British armories and only partially converted to MP5 specs.

:As for the S&W, I'm not 100% sure it's a 3913. But remember that because Rachel Weisz is a woman, she's probably got small hands, so guns which look compact in the hands of a guy are probably going to look much bigger in her hands. Her IMDB profile says she's 5'7".

:Thanks for the new pictures. It's nice to have our own P18.9, and the old-school MGC XM177 look-a-like. I've actually handled one of the newer MGC XM177s (which has a more realistic-looking forward assist button). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

==UWE AKs==

''I think they're Bulgarian Arsenal ARs in 5.56mm not Norinco guns.''

Hmmm, you might be right (the dark wood is certainly not consistent with Chinese AKs), but I'm pretty sure they have the full-circle front sight hoods, which would mean they're Norincos. I'll have to check again to be sure. Also, the armorers who worked on ''[[Underworld: Evolution]]'' are the same guys who do ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'', and that show very often uses the Type 84 to equip the Russian SG teams (as an AK-74 substitute). So it would make lots of sense if the same guns were used here. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the new MP7 pictures! Are those yours? The Rossi Overland is also great, because now we can ditch the picture that was jacked from LMO (I think you can probably just upload over the old one, and nobody will mind).

Also, I still think that the MP7 that you documented in ''[[Stealth]]'' is actually a prototype PDW and not a production model, for the reasons I mentioned on the page (and which I guess we should move to discussion). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

== Assault on Precinct 13 ==
Oh yeah that movie is seventies all the way. My dad was a cop back in the seventies (1970 - 1994) and what that movie portrays was a very real concern of cops. The idea of a police precinct being besieged in an inner-city neighborhood seemed very real. Plus all the firearms are old school. Revolvers, pump action shotguns,even that unrealistic "silencer"on the C96. None of the bells and whistles that the remake had.Plus the bad guys was a street gang not some type of massive armyof "bad" cops.I like the fact that the original isn't so PC.

I doubt those SIGs are P220s. When in doubt, you should probably assume P226, because the 226 is by ''far'' the most common SIG pistol used in movies.

== Mera Gaon Mera Desh moved to ....... ==

You have moved Mera Gaon Mera Desh to My Village, My Country aka "Mera Gaon Mera Desh" as per IMFDB's standard that if a foreign has an English international title, that title takes precedence. But as far as I know, this film does not have any english title. Even in the IMDB it is listed as simply: Mera Gaon Mera Desh. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0232081/ My village, my country is a direct translation of the hindi phrase, mera gaon mera desh, however the movie is known by its original hindi name. Therefore It would be kind enough if you inform me the reason behind this redirection that has taken place. Thankyou. [[User:Ritwikbmca|ritwikbmca]] 08:42, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Also I would like to know that how this '''foreign films''' are defined in IMFDB. As this is an international detabase, US made films are also foreign to us. Had this been Hollywood movie firearms data base, then films made outside US could have been called '''foreign'''. But this is certainly not the case. Therefore, I think it is not fair to precede an english translation before a non-english title. I would be happy to here from you regarding this matter. Thankyou. [[User:Ritwikbmca|ritwikbmca]] 08:42, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

: Ok, now I can get the point that why you have changed the title.

Are these has to be changed as well? Yes, I can remember that I was told this before, but the reason I have raised this question again is that the word '''foreign''' and '''international''' appears contradictory to me.

There are also a LOT of appearances of airsoft guns in this show (many of them pretty obvious, even on the low-resolution AVIs I have) for the non-firing scenes.

Nice! Finally, you have blessed us with our own M60 picture! I personally like the bipod down a little more, but the bipod up is fine, too. It might even be more appropriate, because they're commonly wielded that way in movies. Whatever you choose, please make sure to upload over the existing one...it would be a nightmare to replace the M60 image by hand on over 100 pages! Hehe.

Also, I did a little more work on ''[[Seven Days]]''. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:47, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

==Apology==
Look, I'm sorry that I pissed you off about uploading that Remington 870 with a Pachmayr grip pic. Fist of all, I got it off this JC Devine site where they auction guns and I thought I can just save a few pics and upload them to help the site. Second of all, it matches the one used on ''[[The Kill Point]]''. You can delete if you want to and upload your version. - [[User:Swordfish941|Swordfish941]]

==The AK Krinkov==

Nice picture! It's really great we have our own picture of one of those [[AK-47#AKMSU|AKMSU]]/Krinkov-type guns, because that style weapon has appeared in a HUGE number of Hollywood movies and TV shows (if you check the "Links" section under the image, I just added your picture to almost 25 more pages which feature the same gun). Plus, up until now, that Zastava M92 which we've been using is just not a very good representation of the kind of AKMSU seen in the movies. Thanks for the image. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 13:48, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

:''I haven't checked on the various armories to see what exact version was used in what film, but I guess I will get around to it.''

:Steve mentioned to me that CW had quite a few of the Krinkov side-folders that look like yours. ISS has some, too, but I believe CW owns the majority of the ones that have been seen in Hollywood movies. Probably 95% of the AK Krinkovs that have been in American action movies are of the same type as the one you photographed - AKMs with the parts kit added and the side-folding [[AKS-74U]]-style buttstock. The movies that your picture now links to represent only a partial listing, I reckon.

:As for the unknown pistols in ''[[The Hunted]]'', here is what I can tell:

:*(1.) The suppressed pistol in the SF guy's holster looks to be a SIG P226 with a 20-round magazine. You can see the grip panels pretty clearly, and they're definitely SIG-style.
:*(2.) The pistol used by the Serb soldier looks to me like a CZ 75, though I'm again not 100% sure. But the CZ 75 is the most common Wonder Nine used by Eastern European military personnel in Hollywood, even in movies depicting military forces that never actually used the CZ 75 in real life.

::Hi, actually I dont have all those DVDs with me right now. I am trying my best to get those DVDs, so that I can finish all my articles as soon as possible. By the way, when I was creating the movie template one thing came into my mind, that, may be points like release dates, directer, producers are of less relevant for IMFDB. These data are easily available on IMDB and Wikipedia. So I have changed the format a bit. Could you please have a look at [[Template:Infobox Movie]] once again and tell me if this will be of any help. In that page I have changed only the box which has KAMINEY in it, the other two remains the same. Also could you please suggest me some more IMFDB related points that I can incorporate in the infobox movie, television and videogames.

==Warehouse 13==

I'm watching the Pilot episode now. The SIG pistols used by the USSS agents are a mix of P228s and P229s, not P226s. Lattimer's SIG is a 229 when he first loads it up (you can see the cocking serrations pretty clearly), but later at the museum, due to a continuity error, it becomes a 228. It becomes a 229 again in his apartment when he meets Mrs. Frederick, and then it's a 228 when he first arrives at Warehouse 13 and draws on Artie. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

:Nice! Those are really great. Of course, I see you already made the P225 picture the new standard version, but no reason anyone should complain; it looks ''way'' better. And the 8mm Bruni is much-appreciated; I think those have appeared in some other movies, too, besides ''[[Ultimate Force]]''. Also, the nickel Taurus PT92 w/ pearl grips used in ''[[Shooter]]'' was also used by Lex Luthor a few times in ''[[Smallville]]'' (literally, the exact same gun; both had the same armorers). You should add it to the ''Smallville'' page as well.

:I will watch some more episodes of ''[[Warehouse 13]]'' when I get the chance, but the Pilot definitely has P228s and 229s only. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 14:41, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

== sarcastic captions ==
I agree that some of the sarcastic remarks have gotten carried away in some instances. On ''[[Stand, The|The Stand]]'' page I remarked that Ossie Davis didn't use a good grip when holding the S&W Model 29. But I just mentioned it and let it go. Some of our members have trouble letting it go. But I like to write humerous captions as well. Read my captions on Ghost and the Darkness, Crossfire Trail and The Yakuza. I don't have any trouble with humor. But there is a difference. So ,to wrap things up, I think you're onto something. I never really considered that folks in the industry would be checking us out. I don't know why I didn't think about that. I would like to think that they would use us as a teaching tool, but if they are turned off by smart ass remarks then we're "shooting" ourselves in our foot and the same mistakes will continue to be made. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 15:18, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

==Captions==
I try to use the best shot without the actors looking bad. (I usually end up with multiple caps for each scene.) I guess the best thing to do is point out good handling, and that is all. I think the worst as far as comments go is [[Payback]]. While Mel has handled weapons before he may not care for them all that much and doesn't ever practice. Just because the Porter character has a USMC tattoo doesn't mean, Mel is going to go get USMC training. (He has better shit to do.) Most of those comments are written by GM45 correct? Who is a MOD, so some users may be following by example. -[[User:Predator20|Predator20]]
== Remington 870/Captions ==

Awesome work, it looks perfect. I put it on a few pages that I know use 870s with black furniture, so you can go in and start editing when you're ready. There could be more pages that use them, but I'm not sure. As for the caption thing, I agree, it's one thing pointing out stances and actors having their fingers on the trigger for trivial purposes, but calling them names and making fun of them shouldn't be allowed, because like you said, they never get the chance to practice proper shooting techniques, plus these are movies, and no one should take these things too seriously if they see them.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 19:15, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

No problem, your photos are part of what makes Imfdb great.

Beautiful! Did you make another trip to CW (I take it this explains the T3 SL6 and the "Fair Game" Beretta Inox?)

It's wonderful that we have a Beretta 92FS Inox now - that's been one of our site's biggest omissions for a while now. Also, do you know if that particular Beretta was used in any movies/shows besides "Fair Game"? I only ask because if it's Mike's gun, there might be a possibility it could have been used in ''[[The Last Boy Scout]]'' and ''[[Hostage]]''.

Thanks again for the new pictures. Again, they're beautiful. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 12:41, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

== Thanks for the response and info ==
Thank you for the apologue and responding back to me. When I first started contributing to pages I had though that I couldn’t use other member's photos. That's why I probably uploaded so many photos to pages that already had them. I've never received a message asking me to stop uploading images that were already represented, but that person could have posted it on the firearm page I posted on. If I have gotten a message to my discussion page (only messages I’ve gotten have only come from AdAstra2009, and didn’t concern photos) I would have stopped sooner. But I will check around to see what photos I’ve posted than present nothing and deleted them. As of now the only time I upload an image is when I can’t find one on this site, or trying to find something similar that isn’t posted. I wish I would have read MT2008 message but I honestly don’t know where he posted it. Not trying to blame him for anything, but know that I do know I will delete those photos. --[[User:Mauser|Mauser]] 07:51, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

== Re: Foxy Brown/The Getaway ==

First off, EXCELLENT work getting the shotgun used in ''The Getaway''! Having stuff like that is just part of what makes this site great! I'll try and watch for the shots you mean before the weekend, most likely tomorrow afternoon/evening or Friday afternoon. The shotgun was most prominently used in two or three big scenes but I'll watch the last half to try and catch it; that would be very impressive to match the numbers.
Also, thanks for the compliments on the ''Entourage'' page; a good number of those came from a "Behind the Scenes" feature in the fourth season DVD that showed good close ups of the weapons used to film the movie-within-a-show.
Finally, I'm glad you were able to help identify FB's pistol. Something bothered me about labeling it as a Baby Browning but since it had a similar look I figured it was a safe enough bet. Thanks for getting the correct identification though! Do you know if those were used in any other films or shows?
Good to hear from you and great work lately with the photos! [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 09:58, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
:Sorry if you've been waiting on that ''Getaway'' shotgun cap. I've watched those scenes a few times over and maybe it's me (so used to seeing the movie itself) but I'm not able to find the exact part you mean with a closeup of the side. Do you happen to know which part that's from? Also, GREAT job getting those exclusives from ''The Book of Eli'', ''Dirty Harry'', ''The Usual Suspects'', ''Pulp Fiction'', and the others.

I didn't call it the actual gun used because I wasn't sure that it was. I guess it makes sense because it's the EXACT same configuration :). And no, I don't think it would be too confusing if you said it was from ''[[Iron Man (2008)]]'' and ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]''. It's just like that Beretta 92F that was used in ''[[Die Hard]]'' and ''[[Lethal Weapon]]''.

It's an honor to know that IMFDB is the only site on the web to have this pictures, and what's even more impressive is that alot of the guns you uploaded are 20-30 years old atleast and they're still in great shape, plus you got guns from movies that aren't even out yet, I wouldn't be suprised if other prop sites are jealous of IMFDB.

Hmm, I'm not really too good with identifying AKs myself, but I'll try to help as much as I can. [[Congo]] could possibly use one, and it looks like [[Hard Boiled]] and [[Rambo: First Blood Part II]] use them, but I'm not sure, you would be probably have an easier time identifying them then I do, and yes I would suggest a new section for it, or atleast put under with the original AK-47s. As for the question about getting sick of your updates, definitely not, I could never get tired of seeing your pictures, they're too awesome. P.S, can you do me a favor? If you get the chance, can you get an Ithaca 37 with a high capacity magazine tube for [[The Terminator]] page? because the current image representing Reese's shotgun is terrible, and dosen't fit well at all, even if you get one that isn't screen used or has a full stock, it would be a better representation then that.

== M1911 history page ==

You've done a great job so far with the [[IMFDB Info - The History of M16s in Film and Television]]. It's a great way to add more information about one of our most popular pages. I was thinking: we should do a page like that for the 1911s. I'm always seeing confusion about 1) what 1911s were used in a movie and 2) how to identify different 1911 variants. I think this would definitely help clear up confusion about 1911s, as well as attract more people to our site who are interested in this weapon (the wikipedia article on 1911s is, in my opinion, substandard). Granted I'm only suggesting that this be done for Colt models, and not the different firearm company variants (S&W, Springfield Armory, Kimber, etc.) because not only would it be very long, but the real point is to inform about the history of the original Colt variants. Anyways, this is only a suggestion. I know how busy you are, so don't think I'm trying to pressure you, but I think it'd be a great idea :). -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 03:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I had a quick questoin regarding the rule that multiple images of the same gun should not be uploaded to this site. I agree that two images which are virtually identicle are unnecessary, however, would two images of the same weapon but with different finishes or barrel lengths be considered redundant as well? Granted they are identical from a technical standpoint, however having images with different finishes could help contributors post an image on an article which is a closer visual approximation to the weapon used in the film. So to reiterate, would uploading images of the same weapon with black, stainless, and two-tone finishes violate the principle posted on the rule page?

==Colt Canada C7==

Hey, I have a question: Have you taken any pictures of Colt Canada C7s/Model 715s that are on your hard drive? The reason I ask is because I've recently done pages for several TV shows filmed in Vancouver (including ''[[The Sentinel (TV series)|The Sentinel]]'' and ''[[Millennium]]''), and those shows have many of these rifles. I've also noticed that many of them seem to have the "Stowaway" pistol grip that used to come standard on Olympic Arms AR-15s, so I think the "C7s" used by the Canadian armorers are actually late-80s/early-90s Olympic Arms rifles converted to select-fire. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:41, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

:Sounds good if you have a C7 upper. Better yet, if you slap it on an Olympic Arms full-auto lower with the Stowaway pistol grip (if you have any of those), you'll have something that looks just like the guns that the Canadian armorers use. I'm not sure why they like the OAs, either, but they sure do seem to use a lot of them.

:Thanks also for that shorty M16 picture; I had no idea that anyone besides Olympic Arms manufactured guns with that style barrel. If the K23 series didn't exist in 1996, then yeah, I guess the gun in ''[[The Sentinel (TV series)|The Sentinel]]'' can't be one of those. Only difference, the one in ''The Sentinel'' has a different hand guard than yours (it doesn't have those horizontal cuts). Otherwise, they're the same, so I'll use the picture. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:21, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

== The Protector revolver ID ==

Okay here are my best educated guesses.

[[Image:P-Model28SnubA.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
S&W Model 19 with the 2.5 inch barrel. It had the full lug protecting the ejector rod and the Baughman front ramp sight as well as adjustable rear sights and it appears to have the engraved lettering on the frame typical of S&W revolvers. None of the .38 special K frame snubbies (Model 15 and Model 10) made by S&W have a full lug protecting the ejector rod.

[[Image:P-S&WSnubAielloBoatA.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
S&W Model 27 with the 3.5" barrel. Danny Aiello is a big guy so the N frame Model 27 might appear to be smaller in his hand, but the frame is bigger than the medium sized K frame Model 19 and the barrel has more length. But it ends right after the front of the ejector rod lug unlike the 4" barrel Model 28. But the big giveaway is the amount of light you can see between the front of the cylinder and the frame. The Model 27 is a .357 magnum and has a shorter cylinder than the Model 57 (41 magnum) or the Model 29 (44 magnum). On both those models the cylinder fills the frame. Also the cylinder fills the frame on the Model 19. That one feature alone makes me certain it's a Model 27. Also compare it to the snubbie held by Aiello in the screencap below.

[[Image:P-SnubAielloA.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
Back to the S&W Model 19 with the 2.5 inch barrel for the above stated reasons.

I think this is actually the Non Gun Glock. The trigger guard has that weird distorted look that the Non Gun Glocks have. But the barrel is definitely too short for a G17.

==Time for image standardization?==

Thanks for informing me about the needs for game screenshots. I'm no fan of jpeg artifacts in images, so I just set the "quality meter" in Adobe Photoshop to maximum in the jpeg conversion screen (my screenshot program only saves in bmp format). After your reminder though, I tried setting the meter to 3/4ths and it seems to be alright.

Maybe it's time for the "upload file" page to contain the rules and standards for images themselves, then. Right now it doesn't say anything about "preferred resolutions" or "recommended filesizes." If that page contained more information on those rules for the wiki, I'm sure it would eliminate a lot of confusion and inappropriate files.

As for the GRAW2 page, maybe you can remove the overly-large screenshots for the MR-C rifle--I can post smaller ones from the PC version. Unfortunately, the PC version's all I have, so until someone uploads screenshots for the console versions too, that page will likely stay incomplete for some time.

== Hunter ==

Hey MPM, I've been working a lot on the page for ''[[Hunter]]'' in the last month and am about two episodes shy of completing the first season. I'll be picking up the next two as soon as I can. Since there are at least 51 different firearms used during the first season (and undoubtedly more as the series continues), would you recommend splitting the page up by season like ''Miami Vice''? Also, as long as we're on the TV show subject, do we have a preferred format? I ''tend'' to try and keep the firearms in order of appearance, although this seems more practical for films rather than TV shows. Thanks ahead of time for your input! (P.S. I know some of the entries on the page are a little screencap-happy, but I wanted to try and get a wide pool to chose from, then delete whatever is deemed unnecessary or superfluous at the end of the season) - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 15:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
: Thank you very much for that response! I agree, the 4:3 really makes excess screencapping look even worse, but luckily with the first season complete and the decision to split up the seasons, I can streamline to a 4-7 limit. I'm going to delete some of the YouTube placeholders I had for guns used in later seasons (1-3 are the only ones that have been released on DVD so far) and cross my fingers that the rest will be released soon. I'll also start looking through the weaponry used and if it balances out in terms of handguns, rifles, etc., I'll split them up and leave the main weapons (Hunter's compensated P9S, for example) towards the top and sort the rest alphabetically.

==The Olympic Arms AR-15==

Thanks for the OA rifle! We do need one. But you don't by chance happen to have a C7/Colt 715 upper you can slap onto that lower, do you?

Also, one other thing...I just watched "The Education of Jamie Sommers", and from what I can tell, the M16 that the guy picks up and fires is not the same one seen on the floor. I think they use an Olympic K4B (with the distinctive "Stowaway" grip) when the rifle is lying on the floor, but when he raises the rifle to fire, it's an M16A1. In other words, yet another continuity error. The Olympic ARs used by the BC armorers always seem to be the C7 look-a-likes. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 06:06, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

:One other thing, while I'm at it, a few more things for the ''[[Bionic Woman]]'' page...

:* The Beretta 93R used by the motorcycle assassin is actually a 92FS converted to auto and fitted with a 93R grip (the firing weapon, not just the rubber one). I'm guessing it's probably the same one that was used in ''[[Harsh Realm]]'', and I've also seen that gun in ''[[Wrongfully Accused]]'' and ''[[Seven Days]]''.

:* The M249 used by the guards in the Pilot is almost surely going to be a [[Daewoo K3]]. The BC armorers don't seem to have any real M249s, for reasons I don't understand, so they always use the K3s as stand-ins.

I was tracing the background of a S&&W Model 23 that was in our evidence locker, but I think this time it would be an abuse of my authority to call him (he's now semi-retired and working out of his house)to see if that actually happened. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 19:56, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

==Dirty Harry Model 29 description wording==
It looks to me like someone either copied IMDb or they copied us. Plagiarism?

Imdb
'':Dirty Harry's gun is supposedly a Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver, chambered for a .44 Magnum cartridge. In the film, the gun is shown as being capable of sending assailants flying through the air, even when shot from a distance, however, in reality the gun does not produce such dramatic results. Additionally, the .44 Magnum round is not considered to be a practical caliber for urban police force use due to recoil (which makes target re-acquisition difficult) and over-penetration issues, which greatly increases the likelihood of the bullet going through its target and injuring bystanders. The actual gun used on set by Clint Eastwood was reportedly not a Smith & Wesson Model 29. According to a story circulated by a member of the studio's prop department, Smith & Wesson did not have a Model 29 in stock at the time, and so a Smith & Wesson Model 57 chambered for a .41 Magnum cartridge was used. The Model 29 and Model 57 are identical except for minute differences in bore size, chamber dimensions, and exterior markings, none of which are visible in the film. Fans however, have claimed that in a close up at the end of the film, the gun carried by Eastwood is in fact a genuine Model 29 chambered for a .44 Magnum. The close-up clearly shows the markings "44 MAGNU," with the final "M" blocked from view.''

I added "At the end of the film there is a close up of the gun that clearly reads 44 Magnum on the barrel. So the Model 57 may have been used until Model 29's were found."

==Proposed wording==

I don't think all that sending guys flying and over penetration stuff is necessary.

Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan's sidearm throughout the film is a [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] with a 6.5" barrel. John Milius who did uncredited rewrites for Dirty Harry notes on the [[Magnum Force]] commentary track. That he had written Callahan to have a Model 29 with a 4" barrel, like he had himself. But only the 6.5" barrel models could be found. There are several sources claiming that when filming began no Model 29's could be found, so the Model 57 chambered in .41 Magnum was used instead. At the end of the film there is a close up of the gun that clearly reads 44 Magnum on the barrel. So the Model 57 may have been used as a stand in until Model 29's were found.

Let me know what you think. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 17:51, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

== M2 Carbine ==

I read your post in the Forum about M2 Carbines. I can’t log into the forum for whatever reason so I am responding here. I made [[The Eagle Has Landed]] page recently and in the movie they us either M1 or M2 carbine. Now in the film the actors are seen firing them on semi auto and full auto. There is never a real good close-up. Could you take a look at the page and see you can tell if they are M1, M2s or both? I have read that it was pretty easy to convert M1s to fully automatic which would probably explain if they are not M2s, because in the film they clearly are firing on full auto. Any help would be appreciated.--[[User:Mauser|Mauser]] 03:56, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

==RE: Happy Now==

Excellent, thank you, sir! Yes, I am quite happy.

Well, OK, not quite (and I apologize in advance if I sound demanding). There is one thing I've mentioned: All of the "C7s"/"Model 715s" we have documented on IFMDB are actually Olympic Arms K4Bs. Those are what the British Columbia armorers use, because as we've noticed, they seem to love Oly. The M16 that appears on your page for ''[[Bionic Woman]]'' is also a K4B (the M16A1 only appears due to a continuity error when the guy fires it). So what I kinda hoped was that you take the upper receiver from this...

[[Image:Colt715 C7Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

...and fit it onto the lower receiver from this:

[[Image:OlympicArmsAR15.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

So that you would have (effectively) a pre-1994 OlyArms K4B rifle. Of course, I do realize that I can't demand anything, and how hard it is to take the pics. But ''if'' you were to do that, you would have an accurate representation of the "Model 715" rifles that appear in Vancouver productions (which account for almost all of the "C7"/"Model 715" appearances that we have ever documented on IMFDB).

BTW, thanks also for the M1 Paratrooper model. Something else we've needed for a while. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==RE: There's no pleasing you ==

I know, I know...it must be my "aspergian" tendency or whatever to be so obsessive. ;) Seriously, it's not a ''huge'' deal if we just use the Model 715 you photographed, since, pistol grip aside, it's the same gun as the Oly K4B.

''So are all the Canadian shows have the Oly grip on them? Are you sure?''

Obviously, I can't be 100% sure. But I can tell you that the Model 715s that appear in ''[[Millennium]]'', ''[[Viper]]'', ''[[Harsh Realm]]'', ''[[M.A.N.T.I.S.]]'', and now ''[[Bionic Woman]]'' all definitely have the Oly "Stowaway" pistol grip, so they must be full-auto conversions of Oly K4Bs. All of those shows were filmed in British Columbia, so my '''gut feeling''' is that if you see a show that was filmed in British Columbia and it has C7-type AR-15s, the rifles in question are probably from the same batch of K4Bs owned by whatever armory exists in Vancouver. It seems like a safe bet, right? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:50, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==RE: Stargate/Seven Days==

There are a lot of TV shows filmed in British Columbia (especially Vancouver), but I'm pretty sure there's only one major armory in the province that supplies to all of them. There aren't that many shows where the pistol grips on the Model 715s are visible, but it still strikes me as highly likely that they're all K4Bs if they all come from the same armory.

*(1.) I wasn't able to see the pistol grips on the episode of ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' that had the Model 715s (the one that Excalibur screencapped), but again, if it's the same armory that supplied ''[[Viper]]'' and ''[[Millennium]]'', then the guns are presumably the same ones: K4Bs.

*(2.) I don't remember if I've ever seen any Model 715s on ''[[Seven Days]]'', though I can check again. The firing M16s I can recall seeing on that show were all M16A1s with A2 handguards (the non-firing scenes all used Airsoft M16A2s).

As for the Photoshopped pictures, yes, let's keep deleting them. I'm trying to recall if I've seen anymore. The only one we still have that I recall is the XM16E1 picture that Steve Karnes made (it's still on the M16 page). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:14, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==RE: C7 stuff==

I'll replace the C7/Model 715 picture on all the other pages later tonight.

As for the receiver, what you've told me is interesting because it seems to explain why we probably see the Oly K4Bs in all of these Vancouver productions. You're saying that Colt wouldn't even sell its lowers to armorers? Presumably, this would apply to the Canadians, too. Maybe the armory in Vancouver wanted to buy C7-style rifles in case they ever had to work on a movie depicting the Canadian forces (since, in the early-90s, the C7 is what the CF still used). But since Al has told me that Diemaco wouldn't sell them any of its rifles, ''and'' since Colt wouldn't have either, OlyArms would have made the most sense for them, because the pre-94 K4B looks like the C7 and because Oly's plant is just across the border (a few hours away).

I'm speculating, of course, but it would explain a lot, no? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:50, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==RE: Colt cowards==

Yeah, I remember what cowards Colt were, long before the AWB was ever passed. I'm old enough to remember those badly neutered "Match Target" rifles being the only Colt rifles available at FFLs. I just didn't think they were such pussies that they treated ''armorers'' the same way. If they did, then I think it would go a long way towards explaining the use of Oly K4B rifles by the Vancouver armorers - they couldn't have bought C7s from Diemaco, but they also wouldn't have been able to get Model 715s or AR-15 A2s from Colt (without going through red tape, presumably), so going to OlyArms was probably the easiest way for them to get a C7-style gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==RE: 715 photo ==

Nah, I don't think it matters too much, since it's only the right side of the gun that's visible (not the left). It still looks extremely close to a 715, which is what matters most for our purposes.

I have also been planning to buy a 20" upper and A2 buttstock for my DPMS Panther carbine that I bought this past January. I already have a Stowaway pistol grip on the gun (which I bought direct from Oly). I was planning to buy an A2-style barreled upper, but do you think I should get a Model 715-style upper instead? I don't care too much about having the A1-style rear sight, after all (I can't imagine I'll ever be shooting at distances where I'd need to just for elevation, and I'm not that good, anyway). '''If''' I get a 715 barreled upper and slap it on my DPMS lower with the Oly grip, I will have a rifle that looks (from the right side) identical to an Oly K4B, so I can photograph it and you can edit it for IMFDB use. What do you think? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:12, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==RE:==

Cool. Yeah, I guess it does look a bit closer to the real thing, but you gotta admit: Few people will notice. Just look at all the mistakes on World Guns or Security Arms (or any other site with gun photos).

Also, I did the ''[[Harsh Realm]]'' page ages ago. Contrary to what I said on the page, the Model 715s which appear on that show are definitely OlyArms K4Bs. In the opening scene of the Pilot episode, [[Max Martini]] has his rifle slung over his back in one scene, and it's possible to see that it has a Stowaway grip. Plus, ''[[Harsh Realm]]'' was done in Vancouver, and like I've said, the armorers there definitely use K4Bs to simulate C7s/Model 715s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:37, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

==Archer==
I recently took alot of screencaps from the show ''Archer'' and when I went to create the page noticed that a page for that show had already been created and deleted with the message that western animation was not allowed on IMFDB. Below are a few of the screencaps I took from the show:
[[Image:Archerkalash.JPG|thumb|none|600px|Note the area above the magazine indicating that this was specifically intended to be an AK-47]]
[[Image:Cubanuzi.JPG|thumb|none|600px|This weapon is clearly a full sized Uzi]]

I refrained from taking images of any weapons that appeared in the show that were amorphous drawings that beared no resemblance to real weapons, however to ban western animation that clearly represents actual weapons seems to reflect more on personal prejudice rather than quality standards as there are Video Game and a few Anime articles on this site that feature guns with far less clear basis on real weapons than many of those featured on this show. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

==RE: P228==

Personally, I'm fine with your P228 picture for now. We can certainly replace it with a jacked image from Google if you really don't like it.

I only brought the matter to you because it appeared that you were the one who had previously deleted the ''Archer'' article. I too have never been a fan of having video games and Anime on this site (truth be told I'm not that fond of either media in general). The only articles I have created so far have all been live action films and television shows, however, watching the show ''Archer'' I noticed that the guns were rendered far better than in most western animation and thought it might be interesting to make a page for the series. I apologize if it seemed I was singling you out for complaints and would like to know if there is another admin I should clear the idea with first before I go through the trouble of building the page. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

==RE:==

Yeah, I hate those jacked images, too. I especially hate that people keep using the picture of a Type I AK-47, which is something that has almost surely never appeared in a single movie (not in the West, anyway). Even the Type IIs are pretty rare (although at least one appeared in ''[[Blood Diamond]]''). But I figure that since the ''[[We Were Soldiers]]'' AK is about the closest we have (for now) to a Russian AK that's all our own, we could use it as a placeholder until we find a "general" image. Kind of like the way that we use the nickel Baby Eagle from ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' as our standard version.

As for OlyArms and the Canucks, I got the following info from an anonymous source:

* The big armory in British Columbia is run by a guy named Tom Felcan. His company has changed names a lot (Felcan International, Felcan Enterprises, or just Tom Felcan), but it's the same guy in charge. '''Any''' movie or TV show filmed in British Columbia gets its weapons from Tom Felcan - ''The X-Files'', all of the ''Stargate'' shows, ''Seven Days'', ''Battlestar Galactica'', etc.

* In the early-90s, Felcan made a bulk purchase from OlyArms. The records are all gone (due to the fire at the OA plant from 10 years ago), but my source remembers Felcan approaching them to purchase a ''very'' large quantity of K4B rifles and K3B carbines, both complete guns and upper receiver kits, around '91-'92. These were all semi-auto civvie rifles, but a few years later, Oly sold Felcan a smaller number of LEO flattop K3B and K23B "stubby" carbines (again, as either complete rifles or upper receivers-only).

In short, that's why you see so many Oly guns in productions from that neck of the woods. Speaking of which, I'm doing some more work on the page you started for ''[[Jeremiah]]'', and that show has a ton of AR rifles made by OA. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:23, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

== The Sopranos PJK-9HP ==
Thanks for identifying the PJK-9HP used by [[Tony Sirico]] on an episode of ''[[The Sopranos]]''. I knew it was a FEG (thanks to the help of another contributor), but was unable to find exactly which model. With the fantastic new photo you uploaded, that page (one of my favorite of my own articles) is now even better. Again, just a small thing but I wanted to thank you for that contribution! Hope all's been well. - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 07:28, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey MPM2008, I remember you saying something about you not wanting any "Frankengun" pictures made from your images. Well, I found this on the Thompson Submachinegun page: [[Image:MiModtommy.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1928A1 Thompson with 30-round magazine, early 'simplified' rear sight, and side-folding stock - .45 ACP]]

It's been on the site for quite awhile, what do you want done with it?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 19:43, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

== Re: Hybrid ==
I took the Hybrid picture off the Thompson page, but left it on the movie page for now. As for the sniper rifle, beautiful image! Feel free to overwrite any of the gun pictures I uploaded whenever you please. Keep up the good work.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 04:47, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

==Interesting email I recieved==
I recieved an interesting email today in regards to deleting a duplicate image of an [[RKG-3 anti-tank grenade]], filename 'RKG-3 GRENADE REPLICA.jpg' and I thought I should share it to see what you and the other senior admins think of it. Below is the bulk of the message in its entirety:

"Hello,

Thank you for the image update on IMFDB, we didn’t load those images originally due to copyright issues and chose to use an image from our company website instead. Any questions you have regarding ordnance or weapons feel free to send an email. Thank you and any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.

If I'm interpreting this correctly, it sounds like someone uploaded a copyrighted image without permission and the owners of the image emailed me to thank me for removing it. What do you think? [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 18:42, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

==Re: Inert ordnance==
I was contacted by him on AIM not long ago; he's the person who uploaded the picture I removed. Apparently he uploaded it not realizing we already had a picture of that weapon. He's a pretty cool guy; served as an EOD in the Army prior to retiring. He's here under [[User:MPJOrdTech]]. Good to have yet another expert to add to our stable of professionals.

== Enfield Mk II revolver ==
I sure don't have any (non) jacked images. Wish I did. However Nyles might be a good resource. Not only is he an old gun collector with connections, but he's Canadian and the Mk II was issued to the Mounties so there might be several up north that can be photographed. Who was the armoer for [[Silverado]] ? That movie was filmed in 84 in New Mexico and John Cleese used one. Could that be a possible connection? Or did you already think of that? Anyway that's all I have for ideas. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 13:08, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

==Hudson AK-47 replica==
Thanks for the info, but are you sure those are the .22 AK clones? I saw one of those up-close once, and the one I saw had a less-curved magazine (almost shaped like a Norinco Type 84 mag). I can't remember what brand it was, but I think the receiver said that it was imported by Mitchell Arms. Also, haven't the Hudson AK-47s' manufacturing specs been changed a whole bunch of times? The ones that they made in the 1980s look quite different from the ones they make today (I've seen pictures of those, too). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 14:44, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

== Film Template page ==

I think with the poster line at the top, it makes the table of contents go all the way below the poster. With the way it's put on [[The American]] (which is one of the pages I started), I prefer having the top of the poster aligned with the table of contents. But that's just my preference. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 06:41, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

== Pictures Question ==
I was wondering, are you still closed to gun picture requests? I was asking because I was wondering if it would be possible to get a picture of an M16A4 with an M203 grenade launcher, as there are several articles (namely ''[[Legion]]'' and ''[[Project Reality]]'', to name a couple) that could benefit from such an image. I hope to hear from you soon on this, and wish you well. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 06:52, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

==RE: Limited Time offer==

Hey, MPM! First off, I'm on a pretty busy trip to the capital city right now (my first as a lobbyist), but thanks for making this offer. Right now, I'm pretty tired, so I can't really think of what I'd love to see on the site. But off the top of my head - can you see if anyone has a [[Daewoo K3]], especially a Paratrooper model? I ''think'' Mike Gibbons used to have a few of them, but not sure. Also, since ''[[Predators]]'' is out in theaters now (saw it recently, BTW), do you know who has the screen-used guns from that movie? I'm sure I'll think of ''lots'' more later, but those will do for now, LOL. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:46, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

:Oh, and one other thing: Do you know anybody who has a Knight's Armament Revolver Rifle? I've been searching in vain to find a good picture of one of those. They're pretty rare. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 13:40, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

==RE:==

Hmmm, I'm stumped. I can tell you that in some of the screencaps, it's a SIG Non-Gun. But a few of the images show a gun that looks like a Taurus PT945, yet the cocking serrations are too tall, so I don't think that's what it is. I'm really not sure, gonna have to look some more. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:22, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

== In reply to "You're gone I hear" ==

Hi, hope you are doing well. Probably you have gone through [[User:SB2296|SB2296]]'s talk page.

Yes you are right, this American site does not has to somehow change to suit my view of the world. Well you can have your American site. Neither I wanted this site to comply with my worldview, nor to start an argument with you. I just had a doubt. As far as I can recall, I have never claimed that IMFDB's '''I''' stands for '''INTERNATIONAL'''. May be you are right that the DEMAND made it INTERNATIONAL. But again, people from other part of the world could easily misinterpret this as nothing was mentioned regarding its STRICTLY American nature. It is quite difficult for a non-American to understand that '''Internet''' Movie Firearms '''Data Base''' '''is restricted to America'''.

You are talking about '''WORLDVIEW'''.
What world view can describe the '''obscureness''' of the film [[New York]]? see: '''22:39, 1 November 2009 AdAstra2009's comment''' here: [[http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Wallpaper&action=history]]. Irrespective of the fact that the page has clear screen caps and well researched, it is obscure. I can understand that wallpaper was removed as it was not in a typical desktop res but whats wrong with the film? 'high and mighty Americans' (your words, not mine) perhaps can answer this.

And last but not the least, You get revenue because people voluntarily contribute. Even my SUCKED UP pages give you revenue, no matter how small, but they still do so. If you think those pages are realy sucked up, please delete them (including all the foreign pages which does not meet quality standards). But please dont think in your mind that why foreign pages are left halfway finished.

==Picture Notes==
I was wondering if I could get your opinion on something I have been doing about notes in the frames of gun pictures. Because a lot of the weapon pictures we have uploaded to the sight have information already in the bottom of the frame, when I have needed to make a comment about the specific weapon featured in the show in comparison to the pictured weapon, I have made my comments bold and italicized to differentiate them from the information normally in the frame. Below is an example I did on the ''[[Bones]]'' article:

:''In the episode "Mummy in the Maze," the murderer dressed as a clown uses a sawn-off double barrel shotgun in his shootout with Booth.''
[[Image:SBS-Shotgun Scarface.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|'''''The weapon in the episode was sawn down to the semi-pistol grip portion of the stock with the barrels left relatively long, similar to this weapon''''' - 12 gauge.]]

The bold text is used to compare the weapon in the show to the one in the picture, something I also did on the ''[[Love Kills]]'' page. I was curious if you thought this might be something I should try to popularize or if maybe I should refrain from putting article-specific notes in the frames of gun images at all. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:56, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

No problem, I knew you said you had an electronic tag somewhere on your images, and that's what I told Philodox. As for watermarking, I really don't like the idea of having a big IMFDB symbol on the side of the image, as I too believe this ruins the image. But one idea I do like is to have the site's name or your name on one of the corners of the image, like you put on this Cetme Ameli you shot for that user from wikipedia:

[[Image:CetmeAmeliIMFDBVer2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Notice on the bottom left corner you put Courtesy of www.imfdb.org. I wouldn't mind something like that as it doesn't disturb the image so much and it won't be too noticeable, but users will still see it and know who it belongs to as long as the lettering is darker then this image.]]

Some great image work for sure. Is it possible to use three of your pictures (namely - those of Mossberg 500, FN FAL and Tommy Gun M1A1) for my gun articles written for my website?
Strictly non-commercial use intended, of course. 
PS- Although I'm in general oppose the very concept of "copyright" and Russian Civil Code grants some fair use rights for personal non-commercial use - I find that polite to ask the author first.

and this one 
[[Image:M1sb.jpg|thumb|right|400px|M1A1 Thompson with 30-round magazine .45 ACP]] 
PS- As for my conceptions about copyright- they are simple. If it is non-commercial use, it should be OK and free. For commercial use- royalties are to be paid to the authors.
PPS- Some of my notes about weapons in Fallout series of games were copied and presented as herself-written by the person who did the copypaste. The problem was - she didn't know a thing about firearms - like putting my description of a bolt-action hunting rifle to a semi-auto rifle, or more hilarious- putting the description of a double-barrelled shotgun to "suit" a single-cartridge home-made rifle. I just LOL'd at this.

== AK-101s and photos ==

Thanks))

Well, you are a sysop and it is in your discrestion to revert my edits if you find them unsuitable. Just in my point of view AK-101 is essentially an AK-74 chambered for 5,56mm. That's the reason.

About the photos - well I only uploaded that of better quality or just more correct ones- for example old AK-101 photo depicted a commercial semi-auto AK-74 clone, 5,45x39mm (more curved mag than AK-101).--[[User:RussianTrooper|RussianTrooper]] 20:06, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

> he reason is that most movies made in the U.S. and Canada during the 1980s used Chinese guns (and the random Egyptian or Yugoslavian guns) but the only variants we saw for decades was either 7.62x39mm or 5.56x45mm.
Well, this was also general case during 1980s here in Russia as well )) Most films used AKM and AKMS rifles, and AK-74s were not widely displayed in movies. Nowadays, however the AKS-74 and AKS-74U are the main Kalashnikov-type weapons used in Russian movies, they are supplied by MVD's Forces of Interior arsenals. 
PS- However, it is interesting, why the 007-Golden Eye movie sticked to Chinese Type-56 modified to look like AKS-74s rather than having real AKS-74 supplied by MVD. (Remembering they DID leased an actual TANK from MVD Interior Forces). 
PPS- By the way - are Soviet and Russian movies and TV-series OK to get an article here?--[[User:RussianTrooper|RussianTrooper]] 23:11, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Well - about the quality of screencaps from Soviet movies - sometimes it is just that the DVD version couldn't offer better quality than original film was - and they were filmed with traditional camera - non digital were awailable. 
PS And by the way - I spotted a Solo Voyage article here - wow- I thought that movie would be outright banned in USA. 
PPS- I put in an attribution tags on the photos. Here they are

Though there are some folks here in my city (where I both live and work) who hate my guts. I've invited them to come by and see me at my house since they're so quick to tell me where I live. But for some reason they never take me up on my offer. Very strange.

Well anyway not a problem. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 02:57, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

== Solo Voyage, movie bans and etc ==

Well - honestly saying, here in Russia back at Soviet times there was Goskino's (State Dept. of Movie Industry) instructions to generally refrain from depicting an all-out conflict between Russia and America. That was the general policy - therefore Soviet analog to your Red Dawn just do not exist. So, all American military get depicted as an OpFor in Soviet movies are portraid as renegade, and not of "main-line" US Armed Forces. ;) 
As for banning movies -nowadays it is IMHO of no use - both in Russia and in USA. There is an entire industry of 'pirated' (counterfeit) copies of movies - banning DVD release doesn't mean the movie won't be available on Pirate-bay and other sites. 
And about AK variants- isn't private possession of fully auto rifles banned? Here in Russia it is legally forbidden unconditionally to privately own full-auto capable weapons (full-auto weapons ownership restricted to Russian Army and official law enforcment bodies, however, law does not forbid to own military-style assault rifles after they are modified by licensed gunsmith to permanently restrict them to semi-auto.). --[[User:RussianTrooper|RussianTrooper]] 10:39, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

==RE: Removed Guns==

I seriously apologize for that, as well as any other wrongful edits I may have made (which I sincerely hope was not that many). Only in the Glock and 1911 pages did I actually do any serious removal editing and again, it was done solely because certain sections seemed extraneous at the time, had no listings, and before I myself gave serious consideration to the 'reference/completeness' point. Again, I'm very sorry about that, and any problems that have arisen because of it. I have found out I indeed removed the Glock 20, in addition to numerous other ones. I have since gone back through the edit logs and restored the Glock 20 section, as well as all other entries I removed, I hope that will be alright. I will certainly cease any serious editing of the sort and especially '''removal''' of entries from here on out making sure it is alright, if at all. I could probably take time and restore some other things I've edited, though I think outside of possibly the 1911 page (And most of the entries' thumbnails I reposted on the talk page, and several of them I think were posted by random users and have no listings or links to anything on the site), there shouldn't be any issues. In any event, in the interest of NOT doing any more serious editing, I'll just leave things where they're at unless another problem arises. Of course, please let me know right away if there are any further problems from my past edits and I will help out however I can. Again, I sincerely apologize to you, and the others. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 17:39, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

:- No problem sir. Frantic, no, but stern I definitely thought so. But that kinda comes with your title I suppose. Besides, I understand perfectly fine - Regardless of how crazy you may seem personally (I'm joking.. I hope :b), you still do an awful lot for the site here and spend a whole lot of your time and effort doing it so I get where you're coming from, and I definitely understand wasted effort, I'm sorry that even happened. As I said, glad I could rectify things to some extent, and I've since given up doing any edits of the sort. I appreciate your understanding. That said, keep up all the good work - I'm especially liking the M16 history page, quite a good read there. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 04:16, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

::- Nah, I'll trudge through he logs myself. It's my doing and I think I might be good at it anyway. :b Though at least this time it was easy, as the post I made in the talk page about removing the guns was still posted and had the date. Anyway, the magic ones are - '''Dan Wesson Panther''', '''Konigsberg M/1914''', '''Taurus PT1911''', and '''Para-Ord P15''' and '''P16'''. Considering how many 1911s that are posted now, that doesn't really sound too impressive.. Bah. Anyway, I kept the thumbnails for the Konigsberg, Taurus and Dan Wesson ones in the Talk page under 'Other Variants', but I can restore all the entries if you really want. I also removed a section for the LAR Grizzly a bit after all that, since it had it's own page already. That's all from me I believe, if there other missing ones, I didn't do it. Hope it helps.

==RE:Site title business==

Well, I was just making a joke but damn, I didn't even think about that. Guess I'm just another one of those narrow-ass arrogant ignorant and racist Amerikans.. Oh well. Seriously, I always figured 'Internet' was the first part of the title as so many other other sites/pages start out with 'Internet' also - I thought it was kinda common knowledge. Perhaps not. I don't get that second post you showed me, it seemed like an angry rant that went off on a tangent in spots, especially in that last part. Nevermind the fact he contradicts himself with his own statements, he was honestly bitching about the site getting paid of his work? Bah, so what, every wiki does, as well as Google, YouTube, etc etc. Again, that's pretty standard knowledge I thought. As for using American protocol and English language only articles and all that, it's not bigoted, it's practical - The man who owns/runs the RoboCop Archive is Swedish, yet his site is all English. Honestly, that dude just seems to be flipping his anti-American shit. It seems to him that y'all are acting racist for classifying pages as incomplete if they're for foreign films/etc (Never mind the numerous incomplete pages that aren't for foreign media, and/or if they're classified because they're actually incomplete) Bah, the dude has rubbed me the wrong way as you can tell. In the end though, the only answer I got for him is that noone's forcing him to stay, and if he doesn't like the site he can certainly leave. Pretty simple. As for the title, well, I can see now where it's 'for-dummies' inclusion really comes from, though I doubt it'll alleviate remarks like that entirely. Still, good to know, even if it may have gotten me a bit worked up. Anyway, thanks for the bit of light on the issue. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 23:52, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

==RE: Nickel 1911==

That is one beautiful gun! And as you can tell by the enormous number of pages on which I placed the image, we needed a nickel 1911 with pearl grips for a while (everybody keeps using the Auto Ordnance from ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' as a substitute, which I'd rather they didn't do). As far as other grips, I dunno...maybe ivory grips? I've seen that config in at least one movie page. But it's your call. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:31, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
:Wood grips would also be good, the gun in [[Sucker Punch (2011)]] is bright nickel with wood grips. While rarely seen on nickel movie guns, black grips like one in [[No Country for Old Men]].--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:33, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

::- I agree, another beautiful addition, along with the newer S&W Model 28. As for other variants, maybe one with the Ivory grips, but I'm not sure.

== Hi, remember me :) ==

Hi, remember me? :) It's me, Warejaws. Remember when I promised to screencap the '''[[I, Robot]]''' page from the BLU-Ray? Well... I done it. Sorry it took so long, I've been trying to keep up with my studies, and at work we have to move our shop/hardware store to another location. But yeah, the page is done, and I really hope you like it. I might have gone a little crazy with the amount of screencaps, so if you feel like something needs to go, it'll go.

Ps. Do you have actually have a Valmet M76 in your armory? The reason that I'm asking is that the standard issue assault rifle for the Finnish Army is the Rk 62, which is basically the same thing as the Valmet M76. And nowadays you rarely see the M76 is movies, even as a stand in for an AK variant.

I assure you, it is '''NOT''' a bootleg of any kind. But I see your point, and if removing those caps (for now) is for the greater good, I have no objection. We wouldn't wanna face legal consequences. But hey, can you at least save the screencaps? I mean just delete them from the A-Team page, not the whole site? 'Cos I spend almost '''4 hours''' taking and uploading those screencaps. That way, I could put them on the site on the 11th (or was it 14th) day, when the DVD is supposed to come out.

What looks like a USP is also seen in the hands of Yuuki in [[Jyu-oh-sei]]

== Heckler & Koch P8 ==
[[Image:pistole-p8.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Heckler & Koch P8 with magazine removed 9x19mm. Note the reversed safety lever.]]
The Heckler & Koch P8 is a variant of the USP adopted by the German army ''Bundeswehr'', chambered in 9x19mm. The P8 has minor differences from the standard USP model, these being translucent magazines, a reversed safety/decocker lever and a traditional lands-and-grooves barrel instead of a polygonal barrel.

=== Television ===

* [[Gedeon Burkhard]] as Kriminalhauptkommissar Chris Ritter in ''[[Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei]]'', seasons 11 & 12.
:''Note: As a police officer, Ritter should use a P10 (=modified USP Compact) or a P2000 (new modell based on the P10/USP Compact) instead of the military only P8.''

'''The following guns were used in the movie ''[[Brave One, The|The Brave One]]'''''
[[Image:BraveOneCover.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''The Brave One'' (2007)]]__TOC__ 

== Kahr K9 ==

Erica Bain ([[Jodie Foster]]) purchases a [[Kahr K9]] from a blackmarket gun dealer ([[Angel Sing]]) to carry for her own protection, eventually using it to kill several criminals as she gradually becomes a vigilante.

[[Image:TBO-Kahr9backA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A back shot of Bain holding her matte stainless [[Kahr K9]] pistol very loosely in her fingers as she peers around a corner - 9mm. This is appropriate since Bain is completely untrained and has started using her pistol with no formal training whatsoever.]]

===Kahr K9 Digital Gun flashes===
It is noteworthy that Foster never really fires her Kahr K9 throughout the movie. Every time she fires, it is a digital flash. Probably easier due to the restrictive New York City filming locations.It is pretty obvious, the scene when shes on the train,its a redue of Death Wish, which starred Charles Bronson pulling it off as a vigilante,which is the exact same routine but without a newspaper.She has a Book.[[Image:TBO-CGI-Flash-FosterA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Erica Bain ([[Jodie Foster]]) with an obvious digital gun flash from her Kahr K9]]

== Glock 19 ==
Detective Mercer ([[Terrence Howard]]) has a [[Glock#Glock 19|Glock 19]] as his standard service pistol. He gives it to Erica Bain to kill a gang member in the climax.

::::Okay, just for you I turned up the volume on my sight powers ;). The gun next to the S&W is actually the reflection of it in the glass, so that gun's IDed. The gun next to the reflection looks like a Smith & Wesson, likely the 659 since the grips don't wrap all the way around. And the gun laying on the top shelf next to the Cz pistol is very hard to see, but bears some resemblance to a Walther P38. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

'''The following guns were used in the movie ''[[Street Kings]]'''''
[[Image:StreetKingsPoster.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''[[Street Kings]]'' (2008)]]

==Smith & Wesson 4506==
After using his purposely-stolen car to track the Korean slavers to their hideout, Tom Ludlow ([[Keanu Reeves]]) retrieves a [[Smith & Wesson 4506]] and ammunition from his trunk. He then single-handedly storms the house and kills all four slavers with the gun. It would appear throughout the film he used the 4506 while on duty but uses a customized [[M1911 pistol series|M1911A1]] for his off duty activities.Note when he enters the house and kills the first guy,the other guy in the bathroom didnt react to the sound of gunfire when he first enters the bathroom hes still reading his newspaper like nothing even happen.

[[Image:SK-4506-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ludlow takes out his 4506 while at Wander's house.]]

==Custom M1911A1==
While off duty, Ludlow carries a [[M1911 pistol series|Custom M1911A1]] .45 pistol with raised adjustable sights, beaver tail grip safety, a combat hammer, extended ambidextrous slide stop safety, extended slide release, bevelled magazine well, stainless barrel, and long type combat trigger and is seen using it several times in the film.

[[Image:SKSW1911-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ludlow raises his hands with his 1911 in hand as Cpt. Biggs and his men close in.]]

==Smith & Wesson M76==
A [[Smith & Wesson M76]] or its copy, the M-K Arms MK 760, which has two magazines clipped together, is used by Fremont ([[Cle Shaheed Sloan]]) to shoot Washington at the convenience store, and later when Tom Ludlow and Diskant confront the killers at their apartment. The ballistics expert tells Ludlow it was loaded with 9mm FMJs or Full Metal Jackets, meaning simple ball ammo.

[[Image:Sw76-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Smith & Wesson M76 - 9mm.]]

==M3A1 "Grease Gun"==
An [[M3A1 "Grease Gun"]] is used by Coates ([[Common]]) when he and Fremont kill Washington at the convenience store. The magazine is held together with a metal clamp but when he reloads, the magazine is still on the same side. The ballistics expert tells Ludlow it was loaded with .45 full metal jackets, meaning it was loaded with .45 ACP ball ammo.
[[Image:M3 Grease.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M3 "Grease Gun" .45 ACP. The later model M3A1 would eliminate the crank lever for cocking the bolt, and instead used a simple hole in the bolt for the shooter to use their finger.]]

[[Image:SKM3A1Greasegun-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Coates mows down Washington with his Grease Gun.]]

==Colt Commander==
After Ludlow kills all the Korean slavers, he looks in their couch and finds a beautifully gold engraved [[M1911 pistol series#Colt Commader|Colt Commander]], which he then plants on the unarmed man he shot on the toilet.

[[Image:ColtCommander1911.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt Commander - .45 ACP.]]

oh man, i'm in love... ;) --[[User:FirearmFanatic|FirearmFanatic]] 12:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

==Colt Anaconda==
A stainless [[Colt Anaconda]] is used by the masked Korean slaver when Ludlow raids their house.

[[Image:SKCOLTAND-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==Beretta 92FS==
Several officers throughout the film are seen armed with [[Beretta M92F|Beretta 92FS]] pistols. Cpt. James Biggs ([[Hugh Laurie]]) is seen with a Beretta holstered when he first meets Ludlow in the hospital.
[[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta 92FS - 9mm.]]

[[Image:SKBeretta92FS-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A LAPD officer enters the convenience store armed with a Beretta 92FS.]]

==Beretta 92FS Inox==
Washington ([[Terry Crews]]) carries a [[Beretta M92F#Beretta Inox|Beretta 92FS Inox]] as his sidearm. Shortly before the Korean store is raided by the cop killers, Washington draws his Inox on a stunned Tom Ludlow ([[Keanu Reeves]]), who, in spite of his original intention of breaking his jaw, had entered the store to warn Washington of the impending robbery.
[[Image:Beretta-Inox.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta 92FS Inox.]]
[[Image:SKBeretta92FSInox.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Washington points his Beretta 92FS Inox at Ludlow.]]

==Kahr M9098 ''Elite 2003''==
One of the Korean slavers carries a [[Kahr K9|Kahr M9098 ''Elite 2003'']]. Only the ''Elite 2003'' has the polished Stainless Frame. The [[Kahr K9|Kahr M9098 ''Elite 2003'']] is the smallest of the Kahr 9mm pistols with a 3" barrel. Once Ludlow raids the Koreans house, he takes his Kahr K9, which he had barely drawn before being gunned down, and uses the Korean's hand to fire two shots into the door to look like he shot first.
[[Image:KahrM9098.jpg|thumb|none|400px|[[Kahr K9|Kahr M9098 ''Elite 2003'']] - 9mm.]]

[[Image:SKK9compact-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ludlow uses the Korean's hand to fire the [[Kahr K9|Kahr M9098 ''Elite 2003'']] into the door frame.]]

==Glock 17==
Detective Diskant ([[Chris Evans]]) uses a [[Glock|Glock 17]] as his sidearm throughout the film. When Diskant is shot in Freemont and Coate's apartment, Scribble ([[Cedric the Entertainer]]) is forced to pick up the Glock but refuses to shoot Ludlow and is gunned down by Freemont.

Freemont himself also carries a full-size Glock model which is most likely another G17. After his submachine gun empties, he drops it and reaches for his Glock before Tom blinds him with his flashlight and then puts him down with his 1911.

[[Image:Glock173rdGen.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Glock 17 9x19mm]]

[[Image:SK-Glock-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Freemont collapses holding his Glock 17 as Ludlow drops him with his 1911.]]

==Browning M2==
Ludlow pretends to sell a [[Browning M2]] heavy machine gun to two of the Korean slavers in order to provoke them into stealing his car and the gun, thus allowing him to track them to their final location. When they first see the gun, they complain how they wanted a machine gun they could carry, not a 120lb machine gun to scratch up his car with.
[[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2 - .50 BMG.]]
[[Image:SKBrowningM2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ludlow shows off the Browning M2 in his trunk.]]
[[Image:SKBrowningM2-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Browning .50 cal is seen on the Koreans' bed when Ludlow raids their house.]]

==Remington 870==
A [[Remington 870]] with a sawed-off barrel is briefly seen used by one of the Korean Slavers when Ludlow raids their hideout. He manages to hit Tom in the vest with it, before he is killed by Ludlow moments later. The magazine cap clearly shows it is not an [[Ithaca 37]] as it was previously stated, but more likely an 870.
[[Image:Remington870PoliceStd.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 - 12 gauge.]]

[[Image:SKShotgun-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Korean falls dead with the 870 in hand.]]

==Mossberg 500==
Coates ([[Common]]) uses a [[Mossberg 500#Mossberg 500|Mossberg 500]] with six extra shells in a saddle mount holder during his final confrontation with Ludlow.
[[Image:Mossberg500.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Mossberg 500 - 12 gauge.]]
[[Image:SKMossberg590.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Coates fires his Mossberg 500 at Ludlow.]]

==Benelli M3 Super 90==
Several police officers throughout the film are seen armed with [[Benelli M3 Super 90]] shotguns with saddle mount shell holders and tactical flashlights. Diskant is seen using a Benelli several times in the film as he aids Ludlow during busts.
[[Image:Benelli m3-1-.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Benelli M3 Super 90 - 12 gauge.]]
[[Image:SKBenelliM3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An officer enters the conveniance store armed with a Benelli M3.]]

==Rohrbaugh R9==
When Ludlow and Diskant chase down Quicks ([[Noel Gugliemi]]), Ludlow traps him in roof barbed wire and removes a [[Rohrbaugh K9]] which he had hidden in his waist.
[[Image:RohrbaughtR9.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Rohrbaugh R9 - 9mm.]]

==Romanian AIMS (AKMS)==
When Ludlow and Diskant raid Grill's ([[The Game]]) house, he reaches for an [[AK-47|AKMS]] which based on the stock configuration and furniture, is a Romanian AIMS.
[[Image:RomanianAIMS std.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Romanian AIMS - 7.62x39mm.]]

==Charter Arms Off Duty==
Ludlow keeps a stainless [[Charter Arms Off Duty]] hammerless snub-nose that he keeps loaded with .38 hollow points. When being attacked by Freemont and Coates in the store, he draws his .38 and fires all five shots, one of which hits Washington in his right shoulder.
[[Image:Charterarms offduty.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Charter Arms Off Duty - .38 special.]]

==Kimber TLE II==
Both Det. Dante Demille ([[John Corbett]]) and Det. Cosmo Santos ([[Amaury Nolasco]]) carry [[M1911 pistol series|Kimber Custom II]] pistols fitted with SureFire 310R flashlights. They mess with Ludlow as he crawls away by firing their Kimbers at him, but Ludlow manages to kill and disarm Demille with a shovel and then kills Santos with Demille's Kimber.

[[Image:SKBenelliM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Benelli M4 is seen on the wall rack top left.]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5SD6==

A [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5SD|Heckler & Koch MP5SD6]] is seen on the wall rack in the police armory when Ludlow and Diskant arm up to face Freemont and Coates. In further shots, the integral suppressor is visible.

[[Image:H&KMP5SD6.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5SD6 - 9x19mm.]]
[[Image:SKMP5A5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An H&K MP5SD5 is seen behind Ludlow lowest on rack. Note 4-postion trigger group for safe-semi-burst-auto.]]

==M4A1 Carbine==

[[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1]] carbine assault rifles can be seen on the rack in the armory when Ludlow and Diskant are suiting up to face Freemont and Coates.

[[Image:ColtM4.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4A1 Carbine - 5.56mm]]
[[Image:SK-M4s-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A number of M4A1s are visible to Ludlow's left in the armory.]]

==M16A2/AR15 A2==

A rack of [[M16A2]] rifles (or possibly AR15 A2s) is also visible in the armory when Ludlow and Diskant are loading up.

[[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|500px|none|M16A2 Rifle - 5.56x45mm.]]

:Based on the shape of the carry handle, I'd actually say they like more like M16A4s, the carry handles look removable. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Unknown AK variant==
On the rack, next to the Mossbergs, you can see the distinct wooden forearm and buttstock of an [[AK-47|AK Variant]].
[[Image:SK-M16s-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]

==CAW 40mm Launcher==
A Craft Apple Works (CAW) 40mm airsoft launcher is seen on the wall rack in the police armory when Ludlow and Diskant arm up to face Freemont and Coates. While airsoft guns are rarely used in films, a non-focused background shot is usually fair game for them.
[[Image:CAWlauncher.jpg|thumb|none|400px|CAW Launcher - 40mm.]]

Collateral

2010-07-25T02:27:35Z

Banukis517: /* Heckler & Koch USP-45 (Variant 1) */

'''The following guns were used in the film ''[[Collateral]]'':'''
[[Image:Collateral_Poster.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''Collateral (2004)'']]
__TOC__ 

==Heckler & Koch USP-45

Vincent ([[Tom Cruise]]) carries a [[Heckler & Koch USP]] in .45 ACP which we see him draw and fire several times. Of particular note for this film is that Cruise, as Vincent, fires the first five rounds of his "briefcase" scene attack with deliberate aim against two targets in less than one and a half seconds. This results in obvious physical, but also dramatic and cinematic, impact as it demonstrates that Vincent's degree of skill and focus is clearly on a different level than that of the armed street thugs he encounters.

Cruise trained on a LA County Sheriff's Department range in combat scenarios with a former SAS (British Special Air Service) operator, with live ammunition to increase his competency with a pistol, according to Michael Mann's DVD commentary. Cruise did not have live ammunition experience with a pistol prior to shooting "Collateral". Mann also specifically says in the DVD commentary that Vincent's USP is the .45 ACP model. It is also namechecked in the script as an "HK .45".

[[Image:HK-USP.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch USP-45 - .45 ACP.]]
[[Image:CollateralUSP-45-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Vincent does a brass check on his USP-45 before going to kill the second witness in the penthouse. Note that his finger is safely off the trigger, as is fitting behavior of a highly-trained ex-military assassin]]
[[Image:CollateralUSP-45-0.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Vincent retrieves his briefcase with six rounds of .45 ACP. After double tapping the first thug, he uses the "Mozambique Drill" against the second. A note of interest: In the script, the goal of this confrontation was to be 5 shots in 1.6 seconds. Tom Cruise clocked in at 1.39 seconds, beating the script.If you notice that they didnt use fake sound for the weapons in the movie, thats how the movie is realistic detail, and sound.

[[Image:CollateralUSP-45-8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Max holds the empty USP-45 after firing at Vincent on the train.]]

==Ruger Mk II Pistol==

Vincent ([[Tom Cruise]]) assassinates Daniel ([[Barry Shabaka Henley]]) with a suppressed [[Ruger Mk II Pistol]] chambered for .22 LR. He catches his head before it smashes on the table, but in reality the suppressed shots would be louder than the slam anyway, though this is possibly to keep the blood from splashing over the table, so the ruse that Daniel is just sleeping will last longer.
(An interesting note: Named in the script as a .22 Ruger with a thick, silent barrel.)

==Smith & Wesson 4516==

Detective Fanning ([[Mark Ruffalo]]) draws a [[Smith & Wesson 4516]] in .45 ACP when he goes to Ramon's apartment to find him and sees the door has been left open. (In the script, this was named as a Beretta.)

==Smith & Wesson 5906==

Vincent lifts a [[Smith & Wesson 5906]] from the desk guard he kills at the Federal building and uses it as he hunts down his final target, Annie ([[Jada Pinkett Smith]]). (In the script, Vincent would have had this gun as a back-up, and it was to be a Para-Ordnance .45.)

One of the robbers pulls a [[SIG-Sauer P230|SIG-Sauer P232]] on Max when he calls for help when tied up in the cab. He points it at Vincent when he confronts them for his briefcase before being killed. (In the script, this was simply named as a "Chrome .380".)

A two-tone [[Jericho 941]] ("Baby Eagle") can be seen in the hands of a bodyguard in Club Fever. He fires it into the air after mistaking an FBI agent for an assassin.

==Steyr SPP==

A [[Steyr TMP|Steyr SPP]] is seen in the hands of a bodyguard at Club Fever. The [[Steyr TMP|Steyr Special Purpose Pistol]] is the civilian version of the [[Steyr TMP]]. The major concessions the civilian model makes are the removal of the fore grip and the lack of full-auto firing capability which is rather evident since he is only seen firing it semi-auto (the full-auto bursts are heard off screen).

We briefly see an FBI agent entering Club Fever with his FBI issue [[Glock#Glock 22|Glock 22]] at the ready. When a bodyguard notices the agent with his gun drawn he mistakes him for an assailant and draws and fires his own pistol. (The identity of this weapon as a Glock 22 has been confirmed by an armorer who worked on the film.)

Thief

Banukis517: /* Colt Combat Commander */

''Thief'' is the 1981 film that marked the directorial debut of Michael Mann. It starred James Caan as Frank, a jewel thief. Mann, director of other famous films such as ''[[Heat]]'' and ''[[Collateral]]'' is known for his attention to detail, especially in firearms. He is supposedly a certified range instructor himself, but for this film, he and actor Caan attended classes at Gunsite, a renowned firearms training facility. The story goes that they trained in the "Modern Combat Technique," until Jeff Cooper (founder of Gunsite, and the technique) learned who Mann's film protagonist was (a criminal). Cooper insisted that a thief would never be allowed to learn the Modern Technique and refused to continue instruction. Allegedly, Chuck Taylor, Cooper's operations manager at the time (and a well-known instructor himself), then decided to take them off-site and teach them the methods you see in the film.

Caan's training is obvious, as he uses an exaggerated Weaver Stance, high thumbhold grip, speed reloading, and room clearing techniques directly attributable to the Modern Combat Technique.

'''The following guns were used in the movie ''Thief'':'''

[[Image:Jimmy_Cann.jpg|right|300px|thumb| ''Thief'' (1981)]]

__TOC__ 

==Custom Jim Hoag M1911A1==
One of the guns used by the main character, Frank ([[James Caan]]), is a 6" long slide [[M1911A1]] pistol customized by California gunsmith Jim Hoag. There is a long vertical cutout on the skeletonized trigger, which means the pistol is most likely a Colt Gold Cup National Match, or just used such a trigger. Hoag Gun Works modified the pistol by lengthening the slide, squaring the trigger guard, adding a Bo-Mar adjustable rear sight, skeletonized hammer and beavertail grip safety. If this pistol is indeed a Gold Cup, then it is presumably chambered in .45 ACP.
[[Image:ColtMKIV-Series-70-GCNM.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Colt Gold Cup National Match - probably the base pistol for the custom Hoag longslide used in the film.]]
[[Image:WA490 4 mark.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Airsoft Long Slide 1911A1 replica, very similar to what Frank used in the film.]]
[[Image:Thief_brass_chk.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Frank ([[James Caan]]) does a brass check on his Hoag M1911A1. Before going into Attaglia's business. Note that in the film, this is supposed to be the long slide pistol, but it is actually a normal Colt Gold Cup NM in this brief scene. Note the way he does a brass check, thumb in trigger guard, fingers in front of muzzle. At the time of filming this was the taught method, but is no longer taught anymore.(Note: Tyler Durden- Good thing its not taught or negligent discharges into hands would be everywhere.)]]

[[Image:Thief_longslide5.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Frank changing out a magazine outside Leo's home. Note that the slide isn't locked back, he only fired 5 to 6 rounds prior. So he would have 1 to 2 rounds remaining depending on how he loaded his gun. Frank is smart enough to swap in a fully loaded magazine at the opportune time rather than run out in the middle of the gun fight and then try to reload.]]
[[Image:Thief_reload.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Frank loading in a fresh magazine.]]

==Colt Combat Commander==
When Frank ([[James Caan]]) first goes to visit Attaglia ([[Tom Signorelli]]) about his money. A [[Colt Commander]] is seen in the hidden compartment of the door panel. In one brief scene, Frank flashes the Colt Combat Commander at a nightclub bouncer played by a young [[William Petersen]]. Frank is later seen with at his car lot when he is looking for Barry ([[James Belushi]]). But he is unable to use it because he gets knock out by a mobster with an M1 Carbine.
[[Image:ColtCommander1911.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt Commander]]
[[Image:Thief-COLCOMM-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|When Frank draws his custom longslide, a Colt Commander is also seen in the hidden compartment.]]
[[Image:Thief_cc.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Frank ([[James Caan]]) flashes his chromed Colt Combat Commander on a young Willam Peterson.Notice his finger is off the trigger shows that he was training for the film and so that he wont blow his testicles off.]]
[[Image:Thief-M1CAR-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Frank with his Commander as he gets knock out by the mobster.]]
It looks like the stainless model, but I don't think stainless CC's were available in 1980, so it's probably a chromed finish. It has a Bo-Mar adjustable rear sight, and custom skeletonized hammer. Even though the entire pistol cannot be seen, due to the crease in Frank's waistband and the shadow it casts, it appears to be the shorter slide of a Combat Commander.

==High Standard Model 10==
A [[High Standard Model 10]] shotgun is used by Carl ([[Dennis Farina]]), at Frank's car dealership and the final shootout. [[Dennis Farina]]'s role as a mobster in the film is contradictory as to what he was in real life, a Chicago Police officer for 18 years.

==Smith & Wesson Model 19==

==Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose==
Attaglia ([[Tom Signorelli]]) carries a [[Smith & Wesson Model 19|Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose]] in the film. It's mostly tucked in his waistband so it's hard to tell.

This appears to be a Model 66 as it appears to be stainless steel rather than shiney nickel plated.- Jon P

==Remington 870 Shotgun==
Sgt. Urizzi ([[John Santucci]]) is seen armed with a [[Remington 870 Shotgun]] when he pulls over Frank ([[James Caan]]). [[John Santucci]]'s role as a police officer in the film is contradictory as to what he was in real life, a former thief. In addition to being a technical advisor for the film, most of the tools used by Frank ([[James Caan]]) to crack the safes were his.

==Smith & Wesson 4506==
After using his purposely-stolen car to track the Korean slavers to their hideout, Tom Ludlow ([[Keanu Reeves]]) retrieves a [[Smith & Wesson 4506]] and ammunition from his trunk. He then single-handedly storms the house and kills all four slavers with the gun. It would appear throughout the film he used the 4506 while on duty but uses a customized [[M1911 pistol series|M1911A1]] for his off duty activities.

If you notice when he shot the first guy the guy in the bathroom never even reacted to it, until Ludlow breaks the bathroom door open and he was still reading his newspaper.

==Custom M1911A1==
While off duty, Ludlow carries a [[M1911 pistol series|Custom M1911A1]] .45 pistol with raised adjustable sights, beaver tail grip safety, a combat hammer, extended ambidextrous slide stop safety, extended slide release, bevelled magazine well, stainless barrel, and long type combat trigger and is seen using it several times in the film.

==Smith & Wesson M76==
A [[Smith & Wesson M76]] or its copy, the M-K Arms MK 760, which has two magazines clipped together, is used by Fremont ([[Cle Shaheed Sloan]]) to shoot Washington at the convenience store, and later when Tom Ludlow and Diskant confront the killers at their apartment. The ballistics expert tells Ludlow it was loaded with 9mm FMJs or Full Metal Jackets, meaning simple ball ammo.

==M3A1 "Grease Gun"==
An [[M3A1 "Grease Gun"]] is used by Coates ([[Common]]) when he and Fremont kill Washington at the convenience store. The magazine is held together with a metal clamp but when he reloads, the magazine is still on the same side. The ballistics expert tells Ludlow it was loaded with .45 full metal jackets, meaning it was loaded with .45 ACP ball ammo.
[[Image:M3 Grease.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M3 "Grease Gun" .45 ACP. The later model M3A1 would eliminate the crank lever for cocking the bolt, and instead used a simple hole in the bolt for the shooter to use their finger.]]

==Colt Commander==
After Ludlow kills all the Korean slavers, he looks in their couch and finds a beautifully gold engraved [[M1911 pistol series#Colt Commader|Colt Commander]], which he then plants on the unarmed man he shot on the toilet.

==Beretta 92FS==
Several officers throughout the film are seen armed with [[Beretta M92F|Beretta 92FS]] pistols. Cpt. James Biggs ([[Hugh Laurie]]) is seen with a Beretta holstered when he first meets Ludlow in the hospital.
[[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta 92FS - 9mm.]]

[[Image:SKBeretta92FS-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A LAPD officer enters the convenience store armed with a Beretta 92FS.]]

==Beretta 92FS Inox==
Washington ([[Terry Crews]]) carries a [[Beretta M92F#Beretta Inox|Beretta 92FS Inox]] as his sidearm. Shortly before the Korean store is raided by the cop killers, Washington draws his Inox on a stunned Tom Ludlow ([[Keanu Reeves]]), who, in spite of his original intention of breaking his jaw, had entered the store to warn Washington of the impending robbery.

==Kahr M9098 ''Elite 2003''==
One of the Korean slavers carries a [[Kahr K9|Kahr M9098 ''Elite 2003'']]. Only the ''Elite 2003'' has the polished Stainless Frame. The [[Kahr K9|Kahr M9098 ''Elite 2003'']] is the smallest of the Kahr 9mm pistols with a 3" barrel. Once Ludlow raids the Koreans house, he takes his Kahr K9, which he had barely drawn before being gunned down, and uses the Korean's hand to fire two shots into the door to look like he shot first.

[[Image:SKK9compact-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ludlow uses the Korean's hand to fire the [[Kahr K9|Kahr M9098 ''Elite 2003'']] into the door frame.]]

==Glock 17==
Detective Diskant ([[Chris Evans]]) uses a [[Glock|Glock 17]] as his sidearm throughout the film. When Diskant is shot in Freemont and Coate's apartment, Scribble ([[Cedric the Entertainer]]) is forced to pick up the Glock but refuses to shoot Ludlow and is gunned down by Freemont.

Freemont himself also carries a full-size Glock model which is most likely another G17. After his submachine gun empties, he drops it and reaches for his Glock before Tom blinds him with his flashlight and then puts him down with his 1911.

[[Image:SK-Glock-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Freemont collapses holding his Glock 17 as Ludlow drops him with his 1911.]]

==Browning M2==
Ludlow pretends to sell a [[Browning M2]] heavy machine gun to two of the Korean slavers in order to provoke them into stealing his car and the gun, thus allowing him to track them to their final location. When they first see the gun, they complain how they wanted a machine gun they could carry, not a 120lb machine gun to scratch up his car with.
[[Image:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2 - .50 BMG.]]
[[Image:SKBrowningM2-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ludlow shows off the Browning M2 in his trunk.]]
[[Image:SKBrowningM2-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Browning .50 cal is seen on the Koreans' bed when Ludlow raids their house.]]

==Remington 870==
A [[Remington 870]] with a sawed-off barrel is briefly seen used by one of the Korean Slavers when Ludlow raids their hideout. He manages to hit Tom in the vest with it, before he is killed by Ludlow moments later. The magazine cap clearly shows it is not an [[Ithaca 37]] as it was previously stated, but more likely an 870.
[[Image:Remington870PoliceStd.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 - 12 gauge.]]

[[Image:SKShotgun-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Korean falls dead with the 870 in hand.]]

==Mossberg 500==
Coates ([[Common]]) uses a [[Mossberg 500#Mossberg 500|Mossberg 500]] with six extra shells in a saddle mount holder during his final confrontation with Ludlow.
[[Image:Mossberg500.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Mossberg 500 - 12 gauge.]]

==Benelli M3 Super 90==
Several police officers throughout the film are seen armed with [[Benelli M3 Super 90]] shotguns with saddle mount shell holders and tactical flashlights. Diskant is seen using a Benelli several times in the film as he aids Ludlow during busts.
[[Image:Benelli m3-1-.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Benelli M3 Super 90 - 12 gauge.]]
[[Image:SKBenelliM3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An officer enters the conveniance store armed with a Benelli M3.]]

==Rohrbaugh R9==
When Ludlow and Diskant chase down Quicks ([[Noel Gugliemi]]), Ludlow traps him in roof barbed wire and removes a [[Rohrbaugh K9]] which he had hidden in his waist.
[[Image:RohrbaughtR9.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Rohrbaugh R9 - 9mm.]]

==Romanian AIMS (AKMS)==
When Ludlow and Diskant raid Grill's ([[The Game]]) house, he reaches for an [[AK-47|AKMS]] which based on the stock configuration and furniture, is a Romanian AIMS.
[[Image:RomanianAIMS std.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Romanian AIMS - 7.62x39mm.]]

==Charter Arms Off Duty==
Ludlow keeps a stainless [[Charter Arms Off Duty]] hammerless snub-nose that he keeps loaded with .38 hollow points. When being attacked by Freemont and Coates in the store, he draws his .38 and fires all five shots, one of which hits Washington in his right shoulder.
[[Image:Charterarms offduty.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Charter Arms Off Duty - .38 special.]]

==Kimber TLE II==
Both Det. Dante Demille ([[John Corbett]]) and Det. Cosmo Santos ([[Amaury Nolasco]]) carry [[M1911 pistol series|Kimber Custom II]] pistols fitted with SureFire 310R flashlights. They mess with Ludlow as he crawls away by firing their Kimbers at him, but Ludlow manages to kill and disarm Demille with a shovel and then kills Santos with Demille's Kimber.

[[Image:SKBenelliM4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Benelli M4 is seen on the wall rack top left.]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5SD6==

A [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5SD|Heckler & Koch MP5SD6]] is seen on the wall rack in the police armory when Ludlow and Diskant arm up to face Freemont and Coates. In further shots, the integral suppressor is visible.

[[Image:H&KMP5SD6.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5SD6 - 9x19mm.]]
[[Image:SKMP5A5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An H&K MP5SD5 is seen behind Ludlow lowest on rack. Note 4-postion trigger group for safe-semi-burst-auto.]]

==M4A1 Carbine==

[[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1]] carbine assault rifles can be seen on the rack in the armory when Ludlow and Diskant are suiting up to face Freemont and Coates.

[[Image:ColtM4.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4A1 Carbine - 5.56mm]]
[[Image:SK-M4s-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A number of M4A1s are visible to Ludlow's left in the armory.]]

==M16A2/AR15 A2==

A rack of [[M16A2]] rifles (or possibly AR15 A2s) is also visible in the armory when Ludlow and Diskant are loading up.

[[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|500px|none|M16A2 Rifle - 5.56x45mm.]]
[[Image:SK-M16s-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A rack of M16A2s/AR15 A2s is visible in the foreground, next to the riot shield that reads "Police".]]
:Based on the shape of the carry handle, I'd actually say they like more like M16A4s, the carry handles look removable. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Unknown AK variant==
On the rack, next to the Mossbergs, you can see the distinct wooden forearm and buttstock of an [[AK-47|AK Variant]].
[[Image:SK-M16s-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]

==CAW 40mm Launcher==
A Craft Apple Works (CAW) 40mm airsoft launcher is seen on the wall rack in the police armory when Ludlow and Diskant arm up to face Freemont and Coates. While airsoft guns are rarely used in films, a non-focused background shot is usually fair game for them.
[[Image:CAWlauncher.jpg|thumb|none|400px|CAW Launcher - 40mm.]]
