== Band of Brothers ==

Thanks for inserting information onto the page such as characters, situations, episodes, etc. It looks much more cleaned up now! [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 19:45, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

==U571==
Thanks for the screencaps. Just a reminder. Be sure to identify who is on screen and what they are doing in the shot. Also identify which actors used which guns. That is really important information for the individual actor's pages. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
::Excellent! Great work! Thanks! [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

==Hi==

Hey, Ben,

Great work on all the screencaps and contributions you've so far, but I must insist that you try to follow format:

*(1.) Always include gun pictures along with the screencaps from the movie.
*(2.) Always make sure you link to the gun pages.

If you want to save time, you can just go to a page for another movie in which the same gun appears, and copy and paste the code from that page to save time. If I'm doing a page for a movie that has a SIG-Sauer P226, for example, I will just go to a page that has the same gun (like ''[[Air Force One]]''), copy the entry, and then change the code as needed. It's a good habit to get into, and it's important for this site's completeness and cohesion.

Thanks, and again, great work so far. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:36, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

== Hey Ben ==
I was wondering if i could redo your page for [[Rules of Engagement]]. I dont want to step on any toes, but with your permission, I'll make it look real pretty. :) -[[User:The_Winchester|Winchester]]

If you want redo the descriptions, that's fine. I just pretty much did the screen caps. [[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 14 Oct 2009

==Your screencaps are too big==
Gorgeous work on the Dark Knight Blu-ray pics .... BUT ... 1925 pixels across?!?!?! 925KB sized files?!?!?!?! These MUST be shrunk down in that the original size won't be looked at full resolution anyway and they are taking up way too much space. Have you noticed how long it takes for these images to be loaded when clicking on the page? I know that some of our veteran members (and mods) sometimes upload gigantic images, but I think yours are now the biggest on the site. Please make them smaller to allow quick loading of your page. Thanks. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 14:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I'll make sure the rest of the pics I'll upload are smaller in size, but I think the reason it's still loading slow is because the majority of the pics are still PNG's. I'm trying to replace them, but there's a lot of pictures. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 03:38, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

== Robocop ==

Hey, great job at improving the screencaps on the [[Robocop]] page. They look great now! -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 08:10, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, still a work in progress, but I really wanted to up the quality of the pics. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 08:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

==New Heat screencaps==
Were those taken from a Blu-ray? --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 15:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

:No, these caps are from the Special Edition DVD. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:01, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok, did you mess with the color? The reason I ask is the new pic you uploaded of DeNiro seems to have more grain in the pic.
[[Image:Heat-M16A2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Your pic.]]
[[Image:HT-00001.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A quick one I took]]
It's not the same exact frame but close. My DVD is the '05 Two-Disc Special Edition. Also when someone sends you a message on your talk page, you reply back on theirs. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 02:53, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I use the VLC too. I never tried saving them to PNG first then the JPEG. I may try that. Also I uploaded a new version of my cap. It's the same frame now. The first one I took was a little bit after. Some of the shots you took look better than others. The shot of Pacino and Studi in elevator looks great, more color.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 03:25, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

==The Unit==
Please tell me you're going to replace all of the older pics with your newer more awesome pics. That will motivate me to get more screen used guns for the page. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

==.PNG Images==

I have always used .PNGs in lieu of .Jpegs because, while they are bigger, they are of superior quality, especially when it comes to thumbnails. Therefore, identifying guns is easier as the images are clearer. Since the rules, standards and principles insists on space conserving .jpeg images, the Carlito's way page will probably be the last one I do using .PNGs. I decided this yesterday before you sent me this and just didn't think it was worth announcing, and the only reason the Carlito's Way images are .PNGs is because I was halfway done with doing them all when I picked up my work yesterday. Needless to say I'll conform to the rules this time, so long as the quality of the screencaps doesn't suffer too much. --[[User:Yournamehere|Yournamehere]] 22:50, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

==The Problem with the Pirates pages==
Thanks for asking ahead of time :) But I hate those pages. There is little we can identify other than 'flintlock pistol, 'flintlock musket', 'flintlock blunderbuss', etc. It's crap. We can offer no other information other than what is completely obvious to the audience. Gee. Jack Sparrow uses a flintlock pistol. So what? They didn't need US to tell them that. And if we cannot identify what make, model of pistol (which is hard since so many are custom), then it is a complete waste of IMFDB server space to have the page. I'm going to go on a deletion spree for all the lame pages with no screencaps on them. It's a part of the rules and standards, that bad pages are NOT better than no pages at all. Lame pages, especially lots of them, makes us look bad. Good thing you're trying to fix a bunch of the bad existing pages. I wish more members did that rather than create endless NEW pages that are lame. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:45, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

==Aliens==
I wasn't sure if you were going to be adding anymore pics to the page. I added 3 screencaps, I have a few others that can be added too if you're finshed. I had already capped the film the same time I uploaded the behind the scenes images. Which was at the end of Nov. but I didn't get off my ass and upload them so you beat me to it. Which is no big deal.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 16:44, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

==Stargate==
:I've noticed that the screencaps that you upload are much brighter/clearer than mine -are you using Blu Ray? --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 05:22, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

==The Interpreter==

[[Image:Henry US Survival.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Henry US Survival .22 LR with M68 Aimpoint red dot scope]]

The rifle you see in this picture is the exact same one that was used in ''[[The Interpreter]]''. I got the picture from the web site of Weapons Specialists, Ltd. in New York, which is the company that supplied the weapons to the production. So it's a safe bet that this exact gun is the one from the movie. You can see it's the same configuration and everything. This same gun was also used in ''[[Lord of War]]'' (another movie for which Weapons Specialists supplied guns).

Also, the AK rifle in the movie is an AK-47, not an AKM (and most likely, it's a converted Poly Tech Legend). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

== White Hunter Black Heart ==

I'm into double rifles. Hope you weren't offended by my post on the discussion page, but it's fairly common for folks to mistake a double rifle for a double shotgun.I used to until a few years ago whne I set out to educate myself.Unfortunately it's all book learning. Personally I would love to own a double rifle - even a German double. But the German rifles start at $10,000 and go up to $20,000. The British doubles start at approximately $70,000 and go as high as $250,000. *Sigh*

I have the soul of a snob and the bank account of a working class joe. Oh well. The page looks good by the way.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 06:38, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

==Last Samurai==
WOW! Great work on the replacement screenshots!!!!!! are those Blu-ray? Stunning! Now I need to secretly ask you to fix some of the popular (but poorly screencapped) pages ;) nudge nudge wink wink ..... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:41, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
::BTW, per IMFDB rules, you can replace existing screenshots with your much superior widescreenshots. Some of the pages you've worked on, you seem hesitant to replace the crappier pics. By ALL MEANS replace the crappier pics! Great screenshots are a wonder to behold. Like [[Eraser]], i hope you can replace the full screen caps. No one can complain. The rules say that Widescreen are preferable to fullscreen. :) Also, do you check the forum? I was hoping to PM you there. Send me a PM there so I can reply to it. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:56, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
==Extreme Prejudice==
Thanks for redoing those caps. Gunmaster45 uploaded them for me before I knew I how to do them myself. Also I had figured Atwater's pistol was a Smith & Wesson 39, not a Commander. But I couldn't tell enough from my cap. Since you redid it, it's clear. I really need to start messing with the colors on the VLC payer like you talked about. I pretty sure there is only one dvd version of Extreme Prejudice. Also there is an M60 used by the cartel in the final shootout that I missed. I think they are killed by Atwater. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 16:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Alright you must a magic setting when it comes to adjusting the colors on the VLC. I was able to make them better that what it was but still not as sharp.

What adjustment am I missing? --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 02:20, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
==VLC setting==
Deinterlace? Where is that at? I didn't see it in Video effects. I messed with the gamma some. Maybe I need to use it more instead of brightness. What about hue and contrast also? Thanks for your help on this. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 02:55, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
:Edit found Deinterlace. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 03:14, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

==Burn Notice==
Your Burn Notice stuff is looking fantastic! Great screen caps and information, keep it up! --[[User:ManiacallyChallenged|ManiacallyChallenged]]

:Yeah, you've really filled out the page. It was a mess before you started working on it, but now it looks a lot better. I was actually planning to do some work on it for a while, but your screencaps are much higher-quality than mine, and so far, it's coming out great anyway. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:17, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

==Hi and thanx...==
Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it and from now on will do screencaps with VLC... :)
But if you're referring to the [[Universal Soldier: Regeneration]] screencaps, I am not the one responsible for those ones... I'm just now gonna upload my screencaps and remove those ols trailer caps... [[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 13:21, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
==HD and MM quotes==
You forgot, so I added it.

@@@
'''Marlboro Man ([[Don Johnson]]): '''Guns are made to be shot Harley, not thrown. -- ''[[Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man]]''

HD: You're gonna get shot up here.

MM: Well you're gonna get smashed down there!

HD: Hey man I'd rather get smashed than shot.

MM: Not me!

Another one of my favorites, not sure if it would work on the main page.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 05:04, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

==Hi, you need to categorize your pic uploads==
Great job, but when you upload screenshots, you need to put in the Category in double brackets and then put in 'screenshots'. Check out how other screenshots are 'categorized'. Thanks. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:28, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

== RE Screencaps ==

Yeah the program I have been using is not the best, and I could not change aspect ratio settings for some reason. I just downloaded the VLC player that you wrote about on your main page. I will try using it and if it works out fine then Ill probably go back and rescreencap pages Ive don in wide screen. --[[User:Mauser|Mauser]] 21:28, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

==Marked for Death==

I'm glad to see someone is doing a page for this movie!

That being said, Hatcher's 1911 in the movie is not an SVI (I don't think those even existed when the movie was made). We had a topic about this in the forum, but the 1911 in the movie is a Federal Ordnance PSP-07. It's mentioned in the credits for the movie. Check out the forum topic here:

http://www.imfdb.org/forum/showthread.php?t=853

Also, the H&K automatic weapon used by Hatcher is not an HK53 (in fact, it's not even a .223-caliber weapon, if you look at the magazine). It is called the "HK51K", and it's a custom G3 conversion done by Bill Fleming, a Class III manufacturer.

-[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 05:31, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

==Enhanced image request==
Could you enhance this image from Dirty Harry. The reason I ask is to better see the magnum markings. This one guy keeps changing it to a Model 57 a 41 magnum. It looks like it reads 44 magnum on the barrel. But an enhanced image would make it read better. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 19:22, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
[[Image:DH1S&W25-8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This close up is at the end of the film.]]

Thanks. I have the newer box set too. But you usually have a way of making them appear a little bit better. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 14:36, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

== The Eiger Sanction ==
I'v made a couple changes. Hemlock is actually using a [[Smith & Wesson Model 40]] and not a Model 49 Bodyguard. Also the henchman is using hwat appears to be a snubby [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]] instead of the [[Smith & Wesson Model 15]] snubbie. If you look closely at the screencap you will notice no adjustable sights. The revolver appears to have fixed or duty sights which would make it the Model 10. Also I went ahead and listed the weapons used by Hemlock on [[Clint Eastwood]] 's page. And also showed on the respective firearms pages. But nevertheless it's good work. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 00:49, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

==Great work on Waterworld==
I hope you finish the page. :) There are many dressed up guns in that movie. Alas, most of the weapons were changed back after the movie was over, but I can see what I can get from Syd Stembridge regarding what guns still exist that appeared in that movie. Thanks [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:12, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
==EP==
Since you're still in the process of replacing images, could you replace the one below?

With the guy above firing a MAC-10. Don't really need two images back to back with Clancy Brown. Thanks. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 04:28, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

thanks for upgrading it. I had run out of time and had to go to work. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 00:04, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

I like the image of the movie poster. Nice. Really added to the page. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 21:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

== RE ==
I actually created disambiguation pages for CSI and Delta Force to make page navigation easier. I will try to make as many such pages I can, since unlike Wikipedia, page navigation needs a lot of improvement because sometimes even if we type the proper page name in the search box, we get the result not found.--[[User:SB2296|SB2296]] 10:41, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

== Re: Actor's Pages ==

Thanks for the heads up, Ben. I agree that the pages look ''much'' better in the table format, but I've seen several different examples on different pages in terms of what column is which, so I figured I'd leave them in the basic format. However, it seems that now we've reached a more streamlined pattern (such as on the page you alerted me to), so I'll be sure to follow that from then on. On a side note, all of your pages look great, the screencaps are very sharp! Nice work! --[[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 00:45, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
==Writing spoilers==
On the [[A Perfect Getaway]] page it would hard to write what's going on without spoiling anything. GM45 came up with this on the [[Se7en]] page and I have used it on several pages.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

==Actor page response==
Sorry, but I'm not that familiar with that format. I know enough about it to modify and add to pages already using that template but have never created one from scratch. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

==New pages==
Hey, Ben41! :) You're an awesome screencapper and page fixer, but, please, don't create multiple new pages with no screen caps. At least have some of the graphics ready to roll BEFORE the page is rolled out. Creating new pages with no screenshots or graphics inspires other (less capable page makers) to create scads of new empty pages with only gun listings. Thanks. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 00:42, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
:BTW I have 100% confidence that '''you''' will populate the page with great caps, but the worry is that others will do the first part and not the second part. thanks.

==We Were Soldiers==
I love your HD screencaps. And I know that you have the discipline to put in an appropriate number of screencaps. Heck you can replace even the ones I put in. LOL. It's all about the quality of the pics and the page. I'm just trying to get rid of the full screen caps which I dislike. Anyway, I know you're busy so I started working on the page - it being one of the most VIEWED pages on IMFDB. Did you notice I added more SCREEN USED hero guns to the page? ;) I can probably get more in the future when I have time. I just have to check with Mike Papac as to what guns were used on the production (but that takes time and checking records, etc.). [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 00:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

==Thanks for the help on WWS==
Your screencaps look awesome. A little favor though. We're trying to keep the screencaps from between 7-10 per section. I was going to cull the XM16 page, but since you did an awesome job of replacing the full screen shots, I was hoping you would do the honors. A big criticism of the page when it was done earlier was the overuse of screenshots (the XM16 page had 33 screencaps at one point). Thanks again for your great work on the page.

By the way, excellent work replacing screencaps all over IMFDB with much better ones, you have improved many pages on here alot. Keep up the good work, and let me know if you need anything.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 23:54, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

==Virtuosity==

Hey, Ben, good work on ''[[Virtuosity]]'', but I have a question. Do you have screenshots of the following characters/weapons from the movie:

* Denzel Washington gets an H&K USP from a transport guard and uses it later in the movie.

* A bunch of the police officers in the movie also use the Beretta 92F, especially at the club.

* One of the terrorists in the flashback sequence is armed with an M16-type rifle, I think an M16A1 with A2-style hand guards (can't tell).

If you don't mind grabbing these screencaps, I'd appreciate it. It would complete the page. Gracias. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:22, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks! Also, I think the subguns used in the movie may be [[Walther MPL]] or MPK, not Franchi LF-57s (I started a discussion about it). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:33, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

==Some Last of the Mohicans guns==
Hey there. Glad to see how much work you've done on the page. :) I had some pics of some of the background muskets (used by civilians and indians) that were 'rescued' from the production by one of the gunsmiths I knew who worked on the picture. As you know, the vast majority of the guns were destroyed during the filming (the stuntmen pretty much used their muskets as clubs in most of the fight scenes) and over 400 Brown Bess muskets were destroyed. I have a pic of two background guns. Is there any screenshot which may have these in them? I know they were for background people. One is a modern repro of a common commercial flintlock firearm of the time period, the other is known as a trade gun, i.e. a lesser quality flintlock that had less parts and craftsmanship, developed specifically for trade with the Indians (i.e. they let the 'locals' get the more cheaply made muskets). Anyway, just wondering if you thought we should add this to your excellent page.

[[Image:LastOfMohicans Trade Musket.jpg‎ |thumb|none|700px|Last of the Mohicans background screen musket - fortress siege scene only]]

Thanks [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 00:35, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
::Actually those were real firing muskets (modern replicas) of civilian muskets, so they were issued to the Colonists volunteers to represent 'private purchase' weapons of the civilians. The Trade muskets were issued to allied Indians to the British Army as they were the 18th century equivalent of 'lend lease' to friendly Indian tribes. They were indeed fired. All non-firing guns were rubber. The reason why so many guns were destroyed was that after 2 weeks of filming a lot of the actors and stuntmen and background extras were really banging on each other with the guns as clubs during the many days of 'hand to hand fighting' filming. I suspect the filmmakers expected this since the production '''purchased''' the muskets, they didn't rent the majority of them, except for select hero guns. Thanks. So the info on the movie page isn't quite right. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:05, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

==Kuffs==
I noticed you did the caps for Kuffs. Do you still have the movie? A quote could be added to the template.

== Re: 24 - Season 5 ==
I'm still working on 24 - Season 5. Unlike most users I don't submit or save my work until it's completely done but I'll just save the first 8 episodes now that your asking. I've been stuck on Kalashnikov variants in the first 4 episodes that's why i haven't finished yet. - [[User:HKFan|HKFan]] 14:02, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

:Those black sidebars only occur during the first 3 episodes. I think those are caused by the DVDs since I am using VLC Media Player. As you could see I've decided to finish up [[24 - Season 5|Season 5]] since someone already have been posting low res screencaps and not leaving much detail like I did in [[24 - Season 7|Season 7]]. Can you help identifying the AK Variants when I'm done with episode 4. I think if I do one episode per day so I could get much more done. I can't make the caps any brighter since they've already been sitting in My Pictures for 3 months. But I look forward to doing seasons 4, 6, and 8. - [[User:HKFan|HKFan]] 22:26, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

==RoboCop==
Do you plan on adding any more caps to it? Emil Antonowsky ([[Paul McCrane]]) uses the Ithca 37 to shoot Murphy in the warehouse and some shots of him could be added. I have the dvd and can add them, but if you're still working on the page. I'll let you take care of it.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 00:02, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah looks like a TEC-9 mini.
[[Image:TEC-9Mini.jpg|thumb|none|215px|Intratec TEC-9 Mini with barrel shroud removed - 9x19mm]]

==The film page template==
I noticed that you changed the template for [[The American]]. That template has an interesting history. I've never used it because I was one of the early ones who didn't like that formatting change. Some users created a template that had the poster line BELOW the summary line amongst other slight changes. There was no consensus. I think just one person came up with it and used it. But I always did it the way that Bunni did it. The majority of the site was Bunni's way. But ever since one of the Mods made their own 'user's template' people have started changing pages to conform with it, which I never agreed with. Just letting you know, as a mod, I've always been changing them back to the original style from when the site first began. I still think the poster should be aligned top most and to the upper rightmost corner of the page to start with, which means the poster image line should be first on the page, just because that's the way 90% of the site was when it first started and I thought it looked best. Just thought I'd give you some of the interesting background history, (and why most of the pages which I work on are changed to that way, moreso if I did all the work on the page, which I did NOT on [[The American]] which is someone else's page. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 05:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

==Jesse Ventura==
I'm not one to trust Wikipedia. Ventura might have served in Vietnam, but is said not to have saw actual combat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Ventura#Navy_career Otherwise I would have included him when I wrote up the Richard Chaves page. I was wanting to do more research into Ventura's military career. Ventura is a veteran though.

Also before I build an actor page I search their name before I build the article, take Melanie Griffith she also used a SIG P230 in Season 3 of Miami Vice.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 14:08, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

cont...

I thinking the wording Chaves' page should be: "Best known for his role as Poncho in Predator, Richard served in the Army's 101st Airborne Division, he is one of two actors in the film that served in the Vietnam War. The other being Jesse Ventura who served in the Navy's UDT."

Alt wording could be "Best known for his role as Poncho in Predator, Richard served in the Army's 101st Airborne Division, he is one of two actors in the film that are Vietnam veterans. The other being Jesse Ventura who served in the Navy's UDT." Or if you can think of better wording, go for it. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 14:36, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

==Miami Vice vs 24==
I'm going to wrap up season four of Vice probably next week. Then I'll get started on season five. When that gets finished we'll be able to do an accurate count on the total number of different guns used. You can go ahead do a count on 24 if you want and see where it's at. Also don't just add the number of guns per season together. A Beretta 92FS counts once not eight times. If we did that 24 would be at 234 and Miami Vice would be at 195 currently with a season and a half to go. I think Vice was at 100+ different guns before the page was split into seasons. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 01:39, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

You're doing great work but you're doing too many pages at one time. I clicked on one of the images you uploaded for the film a few weeks back. It was Ben Johnson holding a SAA (I'll always remember him from The Wild Bunch), I checked the paged today it wasn't on there. I went through your uploads and found it along with another that had Brion James with a Winchester 1897. I put them on the page. You may want check your other films and see if any images are missing. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 00:01, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

== The Kingdom ==

Any specific reason why you reverted the close-up of Sykes with the 91? And the one of the MP5? Your over-brightened (and sorta yellow-ish) shots aren't exactly better. --[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]] 12:19, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

: I personally cant see the point of using your 91 pic over the new one. It´s more detailed and you get to see the stock fully. Though in retrospective reverting the MP5 picture was a good idea indeed. And the whole .png to .jpg thing isn´t necessary for me. I own Photoshop, so I can regulate the quality of my .jpg´s fully (which is also the reason why all my uploads until yesterday were so big, I only started to use lower compression then)..--[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]] 05:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

VLC never made it darker for me. Are you sure that you have the video effects off? It might also simply be your screen.

== New RoboCop pics ==

Well, I'm a good bit late here, but I want to congratulate you personally on putting on the upgraded caps for RoboCop, especially the newest Blu-Ray caps. It's my all time favorite film and it looks bitchin' in Blu-Ray from the pics I've seen (on here and elsewhere). Anyway, it looks great - Excellent job on it, as well as the others you've done, man. Glad to have every gun on there now. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 00:07, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

:: - Rather than make a new section, I'll just post here. I've seen RoboCop again recently and since you have gotten images for it before, I'd like to ask if you could help add a bit more to the page. I've been having problems getting screencaps off DVDs lately, hence why I'm asking you, plus you have Blu-Ray. Anyway, it turns out that not every single gun is on the page; one of the 'new' images I'd like to try and grab is the where Lewis and Murphy pull up to the Steel Mill following the van chase - there's a rack in the car with a Colt Commando/CAR-15-style rifle on it. It's not really a good shot of the gun but should be included (I'll be adding the section in a minute). Another one is right after that in the mill, when Murphy confronts Emil and the other crook. Right before he says his 'Dead or Alive..' line, he shoots the other crook who grabs his 870 shotgun. I'd like to get a couple shots of him when he gets shot by Murphy, as there's a blooper where the gun changes from a standard 870 Police Folder (which he picks up) to one with an extended mag tube when he gets shot. Again a minor thing but I would like to make a note of it. Anyway, that's pretty much it, I can understand if you're busy and all so take your time and let me if you're able to do them or whatever, I'd appreciate it and I think the page would benefit that much more. Thanks for your time. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 20:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

:::- Actually, on second thought, the gun on the rack might be a shotgun. Well, anyway, I guess that's it. A Blu-Ray cap might help the ID out, but maybe not - again, it's not shown that well. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 03:42, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

For some reason when you use <nowiki> {{Film Title}} & __TOC__ </nowiki> it will put the weapons list at the bottom of the movie poster. But if you type out "The following guns were used in the film" and use <nowiki>__TOC__ </nowiki> it doesn't. While I like using <nowiki> {{Film Title}} </nowiki> because it saves on typing, but when you have to use clear=all also it doesn't work to your advantage. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 14:18, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

The source where I got those screencaps for the movie is this: http://www.discshop.fi/shop/ds_produkt.php?lang=&id=75676&lang=fi&subsite=bluray&&ref= <-- That is a website in finland, which concentrates on films, games, music, etc. I ordered the BLU-Ray about 1½ weeks ago, and it was released on October 29th in Finland. 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.

PS. I was also bewildered when I noticed that a film had come out in Finland looooong before it comes out in the US.

==Spitting up TV pages==
Even Vice which has a large amount of different guns used, has quite a bit of overlap of the same ones used each seasons. I would say about 30 to 40%. Also I did a quick look at the weapons list on [[The Unit]] it has around 120 guns plus another 10 miscellaneous weapons. [[Mail Call]] has 98 including repeats (it probably only has 60 to 70 actual different guns). So The Unit should actually be listed at number 2. (It was at #1 for while before Mail Call which wasn't done by a true count anyway.) I'm going to look into doing an actual count for Mail Call, 24, Vice and compare them to the other large TV pages that aren't split. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 20:46, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

== Screencaptures and watermarks ==

This is weird legal/etiquette territory. Since no one (outside of the movie studios) who posts screen captures from DVDs on the internet owns the content in any way, is the rule about watermarked images merely about the "work" of capturing a screen-shot? It's my understanding that review sites are "allowed" by the studios to post captures because reviews help the studios with sales, not because review sites have a legal right to do so. -- Blokhed 2/14/11

==S&W Revolving Rifle==
Hi Ben, I couldn't answer you before as for some reason all the 'edit' functions vanished off my screen.

I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge or tools to do screencaps to do films at this time. I thought a small page on the weapon would be good as a)someone may wish to do 'Son of Paleface' or other films with that ususual weapon in and b)Once people see and can identify the weapon they may do pages on other films they've seen it in.

I've learned a tremendous amount from this site as I really can't identify most weapons, fashions, songs, automobiles, hairstyles after 1975. (i.e. I can watch a film and if it's well done identify what part of which decade the film is meant to depict; from 1975 on it's all one big blur). As I'm still learning about your site it I've noticed you can not have 100% of things, for example the Single Action Army Revolver or Winchester 1873 or 1894 (I haven't yet learned to diffrentiate between the two) would have literally hundreds if not thousands of films with the those weapons. I thought some unusual weapon that to my knowledge is fairly rare in film would fit in and perhaps encourage the others to do pieces of the film or actor (I guess Roy Rogers would have a page with the same three weapons I mentioned) for the edification of your fan base.

Thank you for your help.[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] 03:47, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

Sure some are lame, but most are what people would type into the search function. The nomenclature of putting "The" first is standard when typing in a title name for a search.

== Just to explain what's going on here, since I haven't been approved on the forums yet: ==

Burt has apparently decided that he should remove all uses of the term "RPG" to refer to anything but the RPG-X series of weapons made by Russia, since apparently the term is "incorrect" if it's used to mean anything but it's original Russian meaning; this includes removing references to projectiles as RPGs, something the US military (and English-speaking militaries in general) would disagree with him on. Obviously, he's wrong; I've quoted a BAE Systems press release ("[http://defensetech.org/2007/07/18/the-mrap-cage-fight/ The LROD system provides lightweight, low-cost RPG protection that is easily adapted to virtually any armored vehicle]") and the [http://books.google.com/books?id=ygqNt3ra-vYC&pg=PA403&dq=#v=onepage&q&f=false Historical Dictionary of the US Army] both using RPG to mean a general class of weapons, but he's apparently decided that everyone, including professionals who manufacture and operate weaponry, is wrong and he's right on what the proper term is. Saying "Type 69 RPG" is about as incorrect as saying "M4 carbine" in a caption; it might not be needed, but that's no reason to delete it for being ''wrong''. Then again, given the pages this guy hangs around and the general attitude it looks like he's good old PersonOfInterest. Isn't he banned? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 04:57, 14 April 2011 (CDT)

::I've already explained how saying "Type 69 RPG" is not the same as saying "M4 carbine". If Evil Tim just wants to disregard any and all points I make, then I'll just have to go over his head. Yes, I'll wait for official moderator/admin approval. MT2008 is already leaning towards my position. It should be noted that I have multiple points and arguments supporting my position, and all Evil Tim has to say is "well everyone's doing it so it must be ok." He doesn't actually refute any of my arguments. And no I'm not PersonOfInterest. --[[User:BurtReynoldsMoustache|BurtReynoldsMoustache]] 17:46, 14 April 2011 (CDT)

I looked it up to make sure it wasn't some obscene acronym I wasn't aware of, and the way I read it made it seem like ESU was a bigger unit that SWAT and HAZMAT teams belonged to, so since the team wasn't HAZMAT it would still be correct to say it was SWAT. So it's actually that ESU guys do any of the roles as the situation demands? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 03:17, 17 April 2011 (CDT)

Under "Film" heading for "Taurus PT941 (Stainless)," what order is the table actually in? Is it supposed to be sorted by year, oldest to newest? I ask because when I fixed [[GE M134 Minigun]]'s tables I went with what was already on the page (newest to oldest) and if that's not right I'll have to turn those the other way around too.

::Thanks Ben41! :) Wow. I don't even REMEMBER that forum thread! I was at Fremont when they filmed the Cyberdyne sequences of T2. I know that Arnold fired 30,000 of 7.62 rounds all by himself with that Minigun. :) But in that very thread you linked to, didn't Steve K. point out that We Were Soldiers fired at least Half a million rounds that he knows of? That would Knock Starship Troopers off the top. It's funny. I was there for a week during some of the location shooting (well that's where nearly all of the firing took place) and I recall that most of the actors had dummy guns. I think I only counted about 12 guys who were rocking and rolling at any one time but that was just a mental note I made during the damned heat wave! I still have some stuff from the film including the Morita but it's all messed up. I still haven't fixed it up enough to photograph it for IMFDB :( Also back to Steve's comment, the only reason why that 'stat' mentioned by others sounded strange was that I was sure that there are quite a few full blown WAR movies that would easily come close to that number. :) Thanks again for the reply :) As for background stories on movie sets, I sure wish I could write out some of the stuff I see! hahahahaha, but then I don't want to get into trouble! :) Remember, on the internet, it's forever! :D best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 18:04, 29 May 2011 (CDT)

I would like to request you get a couple of the regular 'XM-177s' used in the movie, there are several. I'd screencap it myself, but unlike before when I was having troubles with my DVD drive and players... I just don't have that DVD. Some would ask me what kind of diehard Robo fan am I, but I would ask what they thought of R3.. hehe. ANYWAY, good job. I hope you like my work on the other two Robo pages. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 16:50, 30 June 2011 (CDT)

: Yeah, I hadn't made screencaps in some time and forgot it leaves the black bars there. I certainly will keep note of it in the future. I'd go back through and clean them up, but seems you're gonna do that, so... Well, again I'll just remember for next time. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 20:00, 30 June 2011 (CDT)

:: EDIT - I'm actually going through my Robo caps and cleaning them up. I'll upload the better pics in just a bit. EDIT again - Done, I hope. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 20:08, 30 June 2011 (CDT)

==Helmet covers==
There is a big freakin difference between describing a helmet cover as "BACKWARDS" and "INSIDE OUT". hahahaha LOL. For one, you can't mount the covers backwards (though you 'could' on the old Kevlar "fritz" helmets, I've done it plenty of times, especially on a stretched out helmet cover that is broken in). But I don't buy the seam arguement. I've seen MICH helmet covers with raised seams and flat seams. Also the Desert Marpat pattern fades in the sun, but more importantly in the context of the movie, DUST coats the helmet cover making it seem solid versus patterned. I've seen this tons of times. Right now I still don't see the compelling evidence to justify the 'quote' :D Happy 4th, [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:11, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

Can you please give me an example of when I haven't done what you said? As that's what the purpose of my edits are. If I've missed any on pages that I've done I'd be grateful if you pointed them out. [[User:TheHeartbreakKid15|TheHeartbreakKid15]] 09:05, 7 July 2011 (CDT)

==New Robo2 screencaps==

I take it they're from the Blu-Ray? They look good, but many of them seem kinda dark. Any way to deal with that perhaps? [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 18:44, 7 July 2011 (CDT)

== Multiple people with the same name ==

Since you seem to be the man regarding actor pages, I figure this is best pitched to you: what do we do when we have multiple actors with the same name? I ask because I've found the "Korean officer" in ''[[Stealth]]'' is a named character ("Colonel Yune") played by a guy called Jason Lee, but it's not [[Jason Lee|this guy]]. So what do we call this new guy's page? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 16:20, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

:Probably the right idea, but I don't think (IX) is the best way: IMDB's list includes everyone who's ever been called Jason Lee in a movie credit; writers, producers, etc. We'd probably be best off calling ours Jason Lee (II) since we're only listing the ones we know have handled firearms.

== Westerns ==
So you've decided it's time to add to the number of westerns that are represented here on imfdb I'm assuming. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 23:34, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

It's really not a big deal to me. If you want to re-do Rooster Cogburn go for it. If not I'll get to it. Right now I've gotten sidetracked with ''[[21 Jump Street]]''. My wife ''loved'' that show when it was airing back in the eighties and she has gone and purchased the series on DVD. That page needs some work. I started on it yesterday. I also plan to do ''Coming Home''. That one will be simple. Just the M16A1 and an SKS are featured in the movie. One of the problems I'm not encountering is that the last of the video rental stores in my town has closed. I don't stream video right now (though we plan on getting it when our Direct TV contract runs out in December)so I'm reduced to Redbox and buying the DVD's of movies that I like. ''[[Bite The Bullet]]'' was the last of the westerns that I wanted to add to my collection. Well that's not true. I do plan on getting a copy of Eastwood's ''[[Hang 'Em High]]''. Well wait I just remembered another one. It would be great if either you or I made a page for ''[[Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid]]'' starring [[James Coburn]]. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 10:57, 12 July 2011 (CDT)

== Language ==

Last I checked we don't censor quotes containing swearwords (there's quite a few pages with them) and I seem to recall some discussion about that a while back that concluded we shouldn't. Has that changed recently? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 11:24, 14 July 2011 (CDT)

: Well, I personally would be against censoring quotes, and I do think the site leans towards that view. However, I'm sure Ben probably just removed it to keep you and the other guy from editing it over and over and filling up the logs, not because it has a dirty word. The quote isn't absolutely necessary anyway. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 12:00, 14 July 2011 (CDT)

:We do allow it in discussions, remember Oliveira and his tendency to swear at least four times per paragraph? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:38, 15 July 2011 (CDT)

::I just rather object to the idea that a random newbie can sail in, throw asterisks into a quote on a page and get it deleted; after all, nobody has ever said "fstarck" in a movie. It's not strictly necessary to have movie quotes in captions, I'd agree (though such is true of any quote, cursing or no), but if they're already on a page I don't think we should accept people making the quotes ''wrong'' by sticking random symbols in them. I don't disagree with all forms of censorship (in fact, I think we should put a rule in saying we don't allow NC-17 or equivalent rated movies on the basis someone will try it sooner or later) but it makes the wiki look childish to have people quoted saying "f*ck." [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 06:32, 15 July 2011 (CDT)

::: The guy has done it again. Frankly, by my view, the rule is about restricting language on article descriptions and personal comments, not movie quotes, and it states to keep cursing to a minimum, not to eliminate it or censor it entirely. And quite frankly, the way that's he doing it, arbitrarily and on random pages, is very disconcerting and I would say almost vandal-like, as if he's trying intentionally to be annoying (which in my case, is working). I've left him a message that he should stop and consult an admin before doing any more of those edits, but I wanted to let you know personally. I might speak to some other admins about this also. I'd really like to get this settled because I'm starting to see it as a bit of a problem. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 14:14, 17 July 2011 (CDT)

== I did. ==

I put it on the talk page of the user who made the edit: "Lupara" is a term for a configuration of shotgun (ie, sawed-off) not a type, so changing "unknown shotgun" to "lupara shotgun" is a bit like changing "unknown rifle" to "carbine rifle;" we still don't know. More to the point, the shotguns in the movie ''aren't'' sawed off, they've still got long barrels and full stocks. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:55, 18 July 2011 (CDT)

==Type 56==
I'll get to it. Been busy and I have not seen my source for those weapons in MONTHS. BTW, will you ever do a Blu Ray Version of Terminator 3: rise of the machines? I don't think the Ruger Mini 14 entry for that movie is correct. But I can't tell exactly what from the shot. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 21:06, 18 July 2011 (CDT)

== Ben help ==

Hey there buddy. Help me out man. At this particular point in time I am unable to get a copy of the old [[Walter Matthau]] movie ''[[The Laughing Policeman]]'' (1973). Could you screen-cap that page? I don't believe there are more than four or five firearms that make an appearance in the movie. Most notably a [[Smith & Wesson Model 15#Smith & Wesson Model 15 Snub|Smith & Wesson Model 15 Snub]] , [[M16A1]] and an [[M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun"]]. You know how I am about the old movies. I've already added the movie to Matthau's page as well as the above named firearms. Oh and I recall the smg used by the bad guy to be a Grease gun, but I might be wrong. It's been a couple years. Thanks. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 09:16, 29 July 2011 (CDT)

thanks again. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 18:48, 29 July 2011 (CDT)

Great. thanks. Like I said it has been a couple years. Now I know why I thought/remember it was a grease gun. The ventilated sleeve was removed from the barrel. I think they wanted it to look like a Grease Gun. In the movie they find out from an informant that the suspect was wanting to buy a Grease gun.Thanks again.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 09:35, 30 July 2011 (CDT)

== Spammers ==

One thing you might want to note when deleting spam pages; I ''think'' spam-sites can still get links counted from our recent changes page, so it might be a good idea to blank the links out from the "reason for deletion" otherwise it could still be helping them out (and thus encouraging them to keep doing it). [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 09:08, 3 August 2011 (CDT)

== Re: The Mechanik ==

Thank you for the nice words. I usually create/edit video game pages only, so I'm really unexperienced with IDing stuff in movies. (It's much easier in video games.) And with the pic of the headshot I just wanted to show the lame reticule the rifle has.

== Heaven's Burning ==

Hi Ben,

Just so you know, I have finished the page for 'Heaven's Burning'. I added some guns that you had not included (e.g. the High Standard K-1200 riot gun) and included more detailed text with the screenshots. In addition, I revised 3 guns, see below.

(1) Smith&Wesson 27 ==> Smith Wesson 28 (because the movie gun has the matt finish)
(2) Federal Ordnance PSP07 ==> Springfield Armory Omega (just check the slide, you will see why)
(3) Winchester 1300 Defender ==> Remington 870 Police Magnum (check shotgun discussion page and e.g. the rim between stock and casing)

In any way, thanks for getting this page on the road a few months ago. If you want to discuss this page, please leave a message on my talk page.

Cheers,

--[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 10:00, 22 August 2011 (CDT)

Thanks for your comments, I was unaware of that SWAT was not used in Australia so let's keep your suggestion. Also, with regards to Patrick Dugin, you're right. I will upload a screenshot later today where his face can be seen. --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 06:24, 27 August 2011 (CDT)

Thanks for your comments, I revised [[Heaven's Burning]] for the two points you mentioned. I checked on www.imdb.com and most scenes were shot in South Australia so STAR (instead of SWAT) would indeed be more appropriate.

Also, I added screenshots that have actor's faces on them, except for Tony (Patrick Duggin). He only appears 'unmasked' for just a few seconds but he's not carrying a gun in that scene. For this reason, I kept his 'masked' screenshot in the movie entry, but in the actor page did I put the 'unmasked' screenshot.

Thanks for the cooperation! --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 11:10, 28 August 2011 (CDT)

== What did you do to my shotgun? ==

I had never intended or thought someone would use my 870 for a gun image. If you want I'll see about taking a better shot of it (like my 870 #2 is) and you can white it out. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 08:22, 25 August 2011 (CDT)

==Thanks for ''The Glades'' Screenshots==

I wanted to thank you for providing the screenshots for ''[[Glades, The|The Glades]]''. I had been meaning to do that for a while but never got around to it. I'm a bit disappointed to see Longworth switched his S&W 4506 for a different sidearm in the new season, but oh well. I believe one of the recent episodes that aired earlier this month was quite gun-heavy, even had what appeared to be a firefight in a junkyard with one of the episode's villains firing on Longworth with what looked like either an H&K G3A3 or an HK91. Again, thank you very much for the help, I greatly appreciate it. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 20:21, 25 August 2011 (CDT)

==Do me a favor==
I need your help in an experiment. Go to the Heckler & Koch MP5 page. Scroll down. Go to the first MP5 Pic you see. It should be an MP5A2 (slim handguard, full stock) which was a pic of my MP5. Click on the picture itself to go to the image page. Does the image suddenly get brighter and the IMFDB logo suddenly appears in the lower right hand corner? Now click on the image again to blow it up to full size. What do you see? Do you see an image of a completely different MP5? I am asking several people to do this to check what their experiences are. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 13:14, 26 August 2011 (CDT)

==This is what I see==
Regardless of whether I refresh or empty the cache and reload or not .... it always comes up the same.

The first image I see is this. Darker thumbnail of MP5A2 with NO imfdb logo.

[[File:TestPicture 2.jpg|thumb|none|800px]]

Then when I click on the picture, I see a lighter version of the same pic WITH the IMFDB logo

[[File:TestPicture 4.jpg|thumb|none|800px]]

And when I want to blow up the MP5 picture to maximum size (1200 px) I get a thumbnail of a completely different MP5.

[[File:TestPicture 5.jpg|thumb|none|800px]]

So you're seeing something completely different on your end? Now that is weird.

Thanks for helping me with this experiment. These are actual screencaps of what I see. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 14:44, 26 August 2011 (CDT)

== Re: Heat ==

I noticed. But my screencaps are of bigger resolution, and usually when I revamp/redo something (i.e. a film page), I replace all screencaps to make the page look consistent. --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 18:39, 29 August 2011 (CDT)

ps. I'm in the process of reuploading the rest of the screencaps in the next coupla days.

I almost put a heads up on the talk page, but then I thought to myself what harm would it do? I went ahead and replaced some of the caps, as one would think is for the benefit of the page and for IMFDB in general (as it is a major, classic film). Know that I had no intention whatsoever to "vandalize" (in lack of a better term) or to go over admins' heads in the matter. It just never occured to me that way. (Once again, sorry if I sound straight-forward, I'm not trying to insult you or anything.)

What do you think I should do with the caps? Should I bring this up on the talk page? As for me, I'm ready and willing to complete the revamp, no sweat. I have already converted my caps to .jpegs (per standard), and made those caps in which are two shots put together (sorry, have no idea what thay are called in English), like the one below:
[[Image:HeatFNC-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Like this shot.]]

== B-3 versus B-2. ==

I checked the history of the Broken Arrow page and I didn't change "B-3" to "B-2", the user above me on the page revisions list did.

Yep, it was me (--[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 02:46, 1 September 2011 (CDT)) who changed that. I saw the movier ages ago but I don't remember that anymore. When I happened to see the page a few days ago, I thought it was a typo (B3 where it should have been B2) so I revised, being dedicated to correct contents.

In any way, it might hasve been more appropriate to indicate that B3 is mentioned in the movie as some sort of fictional aircraft (at that time), before somebody else changes it again... --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 02:46, 1 September 2011 (CDT)

Hi, Ben! About 32 hours ago I have uploaded Blu-Ray versions of the caps on the [[Doom]] page, but they did not update. I saw that your new images for National Treasure 2 changed almost instantly. I can't figure out why the Doom caps would not update. Any solution to this? (When you click on an image it shows the old version stretched to the size of the new one.

Hey Ben, so I was wondering, do you guys use DVD's / blu rays to get your screen caps? Because whenever I try to get ones from online streaming (like Hulu) the quality sucks... That's why I lean towards promo images because the photographer uses a flash that lights up the gun nicely whereas bad quality screenshot + low light filming = failure... --[[User:Sergei Titov|Sergei Titov]] 23:08, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

Hey dude, so i've got some great screenshots of the previously watermarked chuck pics, and i "uploaded new version" but it dosen't show as the new version. I'm confussssssssssseeeeeeeed!!! plz help. is it possible to delete pics that ive uploaded or sumthin? any help is appreciated! :P --[[User:Sergei Titov|Sergei Titov]] 22:22, 25 October 2011 (CDT)

Ok so i read about wiki formatting and apparentely only admins can delete pics. could u plz delete my upload http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:Strahovski-ep215-032.jpg so I can upload the right one. this screencap displays the weapon well, and the 5906 (main gun of sarah) section needs some episodic variety rather than just 3 caps from like 3 eps. dont worry i wont go stark crazy again with a million frontals of the gun. i weeded the selection to like 3 or 4 that show in in either clear close up or amazing sideview. it'll look pretty epic :):) --[[User:Sergei Titov|Sergei Titov]] 22:22, 25 October 2011 (CDT)

And damn, [http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=newusers&user=&page=&year=&month=-1 it looks like about 90% of new accounts are this spambot]. This current pair (and the other one I deleted) were all registered on the 9th, so it looks like it tries to lie low and / or wait out any block a wiki might have on newly registered users doing certain things. Seems to do NameNameXXX or NameXXXName where XXX is up to three numbers. So any objections to just banning those as soon as I see them instead of waiting for them to do anything?

==Important Note==
An important note to editors: Please differentiate between "a" (firearm) and "the" (firearm). "the" (firearm) should only be used when you are describing 1 single firearm that can transfer hands as many times as it does, whereas "a" should be used when you are describing the same type of firearm, but have no proof to back up that that single firearm "storywise" was in other screenshots. Cpacu6o :) --[[User:Sergei Titov|Сергей Титов, Sergei Titov]] 19:50, 1 November 2011 (CDT)

And please when adding episode titles for this show use the word "Versus" instead of the abbreviation "Vs." since the official title for each episode spells it out such "Chuck Versus the Intersect". --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 03:53, 2 November 2011 (CDT)

==Trank Guns==
The trank guns are Baby WE high capa 3.8 green gas airsoft guns. WE makes several variations of these high quality all metal airsoft guns that field strip, and function very much like the real deal.

Looks like a customized P226 with a 20 round magazine, the lack of a beavertail and the presence of the forward serrations make me think of the P226 Extreme. I also think it's what Casey has been carrying in the last few episodes. --[[User:Crazycrankle|Crazycrankle]] 07:22, 3 June 2011 (CDT) - This is definitely the gun that Casey has been using namely the shootout at Ms. Winterbottom's house, I can tell by the long grip. Ms. Winterbottom refers to it as "That damn pea-shooter" - that being when she pulls an M60 from her dainty cedar chest. - Sergei Titov (Сергей Титов)

:It's not a P226 Extreme - doesn't have the right grips. Look at the slide design - it has the space between the cocking serrations and the rear of the slide that is seen only on the original German-made P226s with stamped-steel slides. It looks to me like this is an older-model SIG P226 that has been customized to look like a P226 Equinox, just as Casey's SIG P229 is an older-model 229 modified to look like an Equinox. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 09:03, 3 June 2011 (CDT)

==SIG 229==

I just have a quick question, for those of you who play video games: What game could Morgan possibly be referring to that would allow him to identify Casey's weapon as a SIG 229? The only game I'm aware of that has the 229 is ''[[Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain]]'', and even then, the gun isn't IDed by name (to my understanding). So what game might Morgan have played? It's nothing particularly important; just curious. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 17:00, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
::We can assume that Morgan is such a game dork that he would have identified (or had the gun verbally identified by another geek to him) while playing the game. For the record, I know next to nothing about Video Games. When I have to choose hmmmm, shoot the 229 in a video game or shoot the 229 for real? I tend to choose shooting the guns for real 100% of the time ;) LOL [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:20, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't think the producers looked to see if it was in any games. They assumed that it would be in a game, and that Morgan's nerdiness would allow him to identfiy it.

Enter the Matrix has a Sig 229 sporter in the game and it should be in any game dealing with the secret Service, and it is in "Secret Service: The Ultimate Sacrifice". [[Spades of Columbia]]

:I don't know much about video games either, but even in games about the secret service would they identify the weapon by its actual name? I thought video games always made up names for the weapons they feature, even if the weapons are based on real models. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

I doubt they were thinking of it, they just wanted to show that although he is a nerd he can identify a weapon, besides TV shows and movies have often used games that don't exist for when character has to play something, why would they bother with thinking which game has the gun or if there is one that has it at all--[[Special:Contributions/188.112.128.8|188.112.128.8]] 13:11, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Good example: In "Chuck vs. the helicopter" I believe the simulator games mentioned were fictional.

Going off on a bit of a tangent would Casey's SIG be chambered in .357 SIG as are the secret services 299's, i know morgan said it was a 9mm but this has never been confirmed either way and you never see and guns chambered in this calibur on television - Captain Snikt

:Dude, you see this picture:

:[[Image:IMG 1680.JPG|thumb|none|600px|]]

:Enlarge it to full-size and you can see that it says "9mm Para" on the top of the barrel visible from the ejection port. And the gun you see in this picture is ''the'' actual SIG 229 that Adam Baldwin uses on the show, as I wrote in the caption on the page. So yes, I'd say that this '''does''' confirm his gun is a 9mm. Remember, this is a TV show, not real life; Hollywood's armorers tend to use 9mm pistols instead of other calibers because 9mm used to be the easiest caliber to convert to blank-fire. What the Secret Service uses in real life is irrelevant (and Casey is said to be NSA, anyway). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:20, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough, It's just a shame we never get to see any of the more powerful lesser known rounds in movies/tv, but thanks for clearing that up - Captain Snikt

==Glock prop==
While I'm not sure, it's not likely the Glock 17 used is an airsoft gun from airsplat. Airsoft websites have a tendency to bs about having their guns used on movies and tv shows when they aren't, and since ISS was supplying plenty of real blank converted weapons it seems unlikely they'd use a gas blowback airsoft gun. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Well access to the weapons is not the primary point. When you have a network budget, you ALWAYS have access to blank firing weapons. But blanks ARE expensive and loud. They could have been filming in a location that prohibited the live fire. We all have been in areas where we could NOT fire loud blanks for one reason or another. That's when you use the Gas blowback guns and have your post production guys add in flash, brass casings and gas from the ejection port (or in the case of SyFy channel original films, you use a spring airsoft gun, mime fire it and put in endless crappy CGI muzzle flashes that exceed the magazine capacity of the weapon)..... But NBC has a contract with ISS, so ALL GUNS in ALL NBC shows have to come from ISS, so one can assume that if they needed a non firing weapon, they would have just used an ISS non-gun (aka flashpaper gun). mpm

==SIG-Sauer P228==
Did anyone notice in the episode "Chuck vs. the Aisle of Terror, how after disarming the CIA informant of his cocked P228, (looked to me like it was finished with Robar Np3) Casey decocked the gun while barely glancing at it? I am not sure if this was part of the script, or a result of Adam Baldwin having used the nearly identical SIG-Sauer P229 for the past four seasons and being familiar with the system. - [[User:SIGmund|SIGmund]]

:It was a factory nickel SIG P226 (I saw the squared trigger guard), not a P228. But yes, Adam Baldwin obviously was familiar with SIGs. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:19, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

==Where can I get a SIG finsihed like that?==

I think the 229 looks awesome with polished flats, much better than factory 2 tone.

-[[user:k9870]]

:T.J.'s Custom Gun Works does it. They finished P229s in the same style for ''[[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]]''. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:51, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
As you know im a 229 fanboy, just love them, Id like a 229R with a reduced power mainspring, and the lide flats polished like that (i dont like full out 2 tone.)

CT rubber overmold lasergrips are comfy and id get some. Useful too. And Id NP3 the barrels, leave controld alone, polishing those is too much bling. Id get a .40, with a 357 sig barrel, and a 9mm bar sto conversion barrel and mec gar p228 mags. Then a .22 conversion slide. o i could have 4 calibers in one gun.

==What does polishing slide flats require?==

Do you add a new finish on or remove old finish? Wondering what finishes it can be done to, like nitron models, roguard, etc.

==P90's==

:Looks like a two-tone [[Smith & Wesson SW99]] to me. It was also shown close-up in the pile of the guns, and that's what I remember thinking it was then, too. They've also had SW99s in a couple episodes now, so it would make sense if they were reusing them again in this episode. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:58, 24 March 2011 (CDT)

==Casey's gun switch==

Is it just me or did Casey switch guns in the latest episodes, I only noticed while I was watching "Chuck vs. Agent X", but I don't recognise it, is there anyone that can identify it? -Jacco Croon-

If it's the handgun, he switched to a custom Sig Sauer P226. [[User:Bristow8411|Bristow8411]]

I wonder why he switched? Seemed rather random to me. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 12:35, 29 August 2011 (CDT)

== Post Ban Magazine? ==

I know it says it's a post ban magazine but it looks like there's not even a magazine in there on the P229 custom.

There is a magazine, if you look at the size of the gap it's too small for a magazine to go in, and if you look around the outside of the gap you can see where the magazine meets with the grip towards the back. It might look like there is no magazine but there is definitely a magazine in there. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 11:55, 24 July 2011 (CDT)

:It's definitely a post-ban magazine. SIG post-ban mags all have a base plate with a huge gaping hole that extends up into the length of the magazine and limits their capacity (and they're also shorter in length than a standard-capacity mag, which means that you can't expand their capacity simply by swapping the base plates). You can see a picture of one [http://www.nelsontactical.com/products/images/sig/226-9mm-10Rd.jpg here]. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 12:25, 24 July 2011 (CDT)

== Amen brother ==
I read your preference for SA/DA pistols over striker fired and DAO guns. I myself firmly hold this belief and strongly dislike the way most new guns are adopting the striker system, especially in the law enforcement market. Though I have to say I have a far stronger dislike for hammerless revolvers regardless of their superior snag resistance. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

==Reply==
Thanks for responding to my post. With regards to law enforcement sidearms I think agree that liability probably plays a major role in their weapon selection but personally I still don't think that explains their choices. A Glock or similar pistol with a light trigger pull and no manual safety is a Plaxico Burress situation waiting to happen. The New York City Police solution, modifying DAO weapons to have 12 lbs triggers, seems like a real dumb idea as that can't be good for accuracy, something I would like to think police have mastered. The only reason I can think of why Striker guns are good from a liability standpoint is drop safety, but modern hammer guns are just as safe in most real world senerios so I still don't understand the striker craze.

Also, I did screen cap alot of Archer episodes that featured realistic weapons right before I found out that the article already existed and had been deleted. If you wanted to see how good their quality was so as to make a case for an Archer article being allowed I would be happy to post some of my screencaps.

P.S. The Bersa Thunder 380 is an amazing little gun, though you are right .380 ACP is almost impossible to come by recently. Most stores in my area get 2 or 3 boxes a month which quickly get sold for close to double what they used to cost. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

==Chekhov's Gun==
I noticed you're comment about the .25 Chekhov mentioned in Archer. This is a somewhat esoteric joke about a literary technique known as the Chekhov's Gun, which refers to a seemingly minor object mentioned early in a story turning out to have a major impact on the plot later on. Here's a link that explains more about it. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitlexn9xzsjd5fif?from=Main.ChekhovsGun] Toward the bottom of the page it even specifically mentions the example from Archer. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

==History==
Of the reality shows, things like ''Pawn Stars'' and ''American Pickers'' make sense as they involve historical artifacts, however, Ax Men, truckers, and that new swamp show don't belong at all. As for Arms and Armor, I've never even heard of that show (probably before my time). What I miss is ''Conquest'', there used to be reruns on History International but they've stopped. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

I've never heard of that show either. I think 30 min was too short for Conquest as well. More running time would have made the show alot better. Other improvements would have been to use different people each episode (like Fear Factor or Dog Eat Dog) and change some of the final challenges like those in the Pirate and Ninja episodes which were clearly staged and fairly corny. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

The feeling that History has completely abandoned its initial mission statement is very pervasive. TVTropes.com also has several articles that mock the History Channel, though admittedly not in flowchart form. I've always loved Cracked.com, very insightful information presented in their endearing snarky, jackass tone. The worst show imaginable on that list is ''Ancient Aliens'' where people who seriously must functionally retarded try to rewrite history in the most asinine way possible (Noah's ark was a DNA Bank, Gold eating aliens founded Babylon, the moon is a hollow space station monitoring earth, and ancient aliens in bronze age India fought wars with atomic bombs). THIS IS NOT HISTORY. Technically neither is ''[[Top Shot]]'' but as a gun enthusiast I'm willing to look the other way ;). -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

What I found more interesting than the HD WWII documentaries was a mini-series they did several years ago called WWI in color. It was an actual documentary series with each episode exploring a different topic (trench warfare, the birth of Aerial combat, the eastern front, the war at sea) but augmented the historian and veteran (they actually found a dozen WWI vets) interviews with colorized footage from the front lines. Color footage of WWII may be rare but it's unheard of for WWI. Also, the show didn't entirely rest on the color footage but simply used it to supplement a good documentary. As for a show about horsemanship, it sounds interesting if they could encompass things from the entire history of mounted warfare. Have the contestants use javelins, lances, bows, swords, and guns, from horseback, chariot, camel, possibly even elephant. Unfortunately with the way the history channel has been headed it would probably end up less like ''Conquest'' and more like ''[[Deadliest Warrior]]''. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

==Cracked Article==
A little while ago you sent me a link to a cracked.com article about the history channel. I just found another article on Cracked I believe is written by Gunmaster45. I found it very amusing and thought you might enjoy it [http://www.cracked.com/funny-2939-top-10-mall-ninja-guns/]. It lists 10 overrated, impractical guns including a tactical double barrel shotgun. Let me know what you think. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

== Thing is... ==

...We're not compiling an official Navy listing here, we're just using Lt. as a shorthand for "Lieutenant" in the same way "Mr." is a shorthand for "Mister." It doesn't really matter what service the pretend people are part of, and Jessica Biel and Josh Lucas aren't Lieutenants. I might agree if we were talking about ''real'' pilots here, but we're not. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 14:38, 8 July 2011 (CDT)

:Either is correct, but Lt. is better for readability. "Lt." is always short for lieutenant regardless of what else might be; US Navy lieutenants are ''officially listed'' as "LT," but that's just an administrative choice, it doesn't change the entire rest of the English language (any more than Capt. stops being short for "Captain" if you happen to have joined the Army). It's about people understanding what you're using it as a shorthand ''for'', not about using a term that will have the uninitiated wondering what "LT" is an acronym for because there's no full stop after it to say it's an abbreviation. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 14:54, 8 July 2011 (CDT)

::I don't know, if you're trying to educate people there's no point being correct if nobody understands you're correct; the first time I saw someone allcaps'ing rank names I just thought he was being a moron (in my defence, he was a moron in a multitude of other ways). The proper abbreviation only helps in differentiating ranks if you already know that's what it is; it's a little like "Hg" is only a useful shorthand for "Mercury" if you already know the periodic table well. It's much easier to tell they're Navy airmen by the fact that there's an aircraft carrier in the movie. Anyway, I'm just going to change it to the full word. To show there's no hard feelings, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMWr3OY0xEM&feature=related skip to 1:30 to see what it looks like when an M167 VADS is actually firing]. I laughed. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 00:09, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

:::Well yeah, but we explain which variant is which. What I mean is that it's useless using a ''shorthand'' if it won't help people get it, since the purpose of a shorthand is to say something quickly in a way people can still easily understand. As for a videogame, it's called Ace Combat :D [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 01:11, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

::::I dunno, I guess it just bugs me because it doesn't look right. And yeah, I'm annoyed at the wait too, much as I was annoyed that AC6 was 360-only. Still, I've got the three PS2 games lurking around while I wait for a next-gen one I can actually play or a HAWX that doesn't suck. What were they ''thinking'' with those point-and-click UAV missions in HAWX 2? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:02, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

==Ranks==
Hey, wow, chill man. I only changed them because (a) the Navy ranks looks stupid on the page (no offense) (b) they are harder to read (c) the Average Joe won't propably understand the rank, and is most propably unwilling to spend 5 seconds on Google to find out about them, and (d) there's no rule or regulation the ranks should be presented in their absolute correct from, since we see the other ones more frequently.... --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 20:24, 12 July 2011 (CDT)

== Reply to: H:LotS ==

You're welcome. I've been watching the show from the start, and I could make out a lot of guns on the show. Though I'm still trying to ID the revolver that Det. Bolander ([[Ned Beatty]]) carries. - [[User:500Magnum|500Magnum]]
:You only see Bolander's gun a few times, but I remember him pulling it out and holding it behind his back, though it's hard to make out due to the angle. And there are moments where you get a look at Howard's Colt DS, and it didn't look like a 1st Generation Colt, the grips and the barrel looked more 3rd Generation. I also noticed in the first season that Bayliss had a Beretta (IDed from the grips) and not a Glock at first. - [[User:500Magnum|500Magnum]]

See, it's not so much writing it down as just having a list of passwords scattered over a dozen sheets of paper, very few saying what they're for. It turns out I ''was'' using the right one, but when you enter a password for a new account it's logged all in lowercase, even though the enter password screen is case-sensitive. So, you're fumbling around trying to remember where the shift characters were when they're all gone from the actual password. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 18:30, 18 October 2011 (CDT)

EvilTim: /* Chuck "Versus" against "Vs." */

== Show Pages I Will Contribute To ==

[[Burn Notice]], [[Chuck]], [[Nikita (2010)]], [[Covert Affairs]], [[Hawaii Five-0 (2010)]], [[Human Target]]

==My Rules==
I will not upload photos of a gun already readily represented

I will only upload pics of a same gun if a different character is using it or it is suppressed

I will add unrepresented firearms to the page

==Chuck==
In the future, when adding screenshots, please crop the black bars off before uploading. Also, please be specific about what episode a weapon you're describing was in. Namely, the apartment sofa armory is from what season and what's the episode name. Also, try to keep your comments in the captions to have some kind of relation to the screencap other than just a quote. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 22:05, 13 October 2011 (CDT) Thank You for the tips! I am a relatively new user and every little bit helps!

== Burn Notice ==

Some of the production stills you uploaded for [[Burn Notice]] have a red border around them that needs to be cropped out. Please crop and reupload. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 17:15, 14 October 2011 (CDT)

K. I cropped and reuploaded the ones with black bars. I will start working on the red bars.

== Burn Notice Production Stills ==

A lot of the screenshots you've uploaded for the [[Burn Notice]] page are in fact production stills that are not of uniform dimension and sometimes do not display the weapon prominently. Due to the already large amount of screenshots already on this page, please limit your screenshots to actual stills from the show that display the weapon in a different way than what's already there (such as a scope, shell holder or laser sight fitted on the weapon). Some of these shots therefore will be moved to the discussion page. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 17:48, 14 October 2011 (CDT)

Hey so I cropped the red lines off one of the images, and tried to upload a new version, but it won't allow me to. It just is the same image over and over. plus if I try to upload it as a different file, it says its a duplicate, which it is but without the red bars... thank you screenshot snipping tool fml >:/

== Production Stills vs Screenshots ==

You're doing the same thing for [[Chuck]] as you did for [[Burn Notice]]. These appear to be production stills (photographs taken during filming) as opposed to actual screenshots taken from an aired episode. Because these production stills are generally have odd dimensions and causes the page to look awkward, please limit the number of production stills and specify that the image is a production still in the caption (ex. A production still shows Chuck holding the weapon.) Please in the future, try to upload more screenshots instead of production stills (unless the production still shows the weapon more clearly). Also, please upload the entire frame of the screenshot and not just a closeup such as of the trank guns (again because the dimensions will be off). --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 02:31, 19 October 2011 (CDT)

OK thank you :) --[[User:Sergei Titov|Sergei Titov]] 20:19, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

Do you guys use DVD's / blu rays to get your screen caps? Because whenever I try to get ones from online streaming (like Hulu) the quality sucks... That's why I lean towards promo images because the photographer uses a flash that lights up the gun nicely whereas bad quality shot + low light filming = failure --[[User:Sergei Titov|Sergei Titov]] 21:30, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

Yes, DVD's, blu-rays and HDTV broadcasts are the best sources for television shows. Netflix is a better streaming source than Hulu because they often have the newer shows in HD. You can use a screencapture program like Fast Stone Image Viewer to capture sections of what's on your computer screen and then use the enhancement tools to brighten and sharpen the image. If you don't have these resources, I would ask that instead of more production stills, that you just reference the weapon on the page with a lot of detail regarding when the weapon was used and what episode (Season, title, and episode name would be greatly appreciated). Then one of the other users such as myself and others can put the screenshot up. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:42, 22 October 2011 (CDT)

== Please no Cyrillic and screenshot limits ==

1. Due to the site being in English, cyrillic script is not allowed. Many computers cannot read this font and it appears as gibberish when seen. It could also be mistaken for spam and could be deleted. Please, english only on the site.

2. Please limit the amount of screenshots for one particular weapon. You've added a bunch of screenshots to the [[Chuck]] for the 5906, when there were already several of them.

3. Please avoid screenshots that have watermarks other than the network logo. It's obvious that several of the screenshots you uploaded were from a particular fan site. Although they were also screenshots from the episodes, we do our best to put up our own work and not just take someone else's.

Please take a look at the [[Rules, Standards and Principles]] page for some more guidelines. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 00:51, 23 October 2011 (CDT)

== Replacing Screenshots ==

When overwriting a screenshot, you need to change the "500px" to "501px" in order to see the difference. Also, we limit the number of screenshots for one gun to 10. The preferred screenshots have no logos or watermarks on them. Please also limit your shots to ones that show off a difference of the gun, such as it having a suppressor or the gun in closeup.

Also, I changed the resolution of production stills on purpose (to make them different from screenshots), so please do not change them. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 02:22, 26 October 2011 (CDT)

==Chuck Screenshots==
Since I have the entire series on DVD, I'm most likely going to replace your screenshots since these all still have the NBC logo on the left. Instead of you going through the trouble of uploading screenshots in the future, are you there any other weapons that you were planning to upload? Just let me know and I'll put up the screenshot. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 20:47, 27 October 2011 (CDT)

Just got ur message, I added a few with the logo so sorry :( but I was about to upload a pic of sarah shooting the grappling pistol in "Chuck versus the Seduction Impossible" --[[User:Sergei Titov|Сергей Титов, Sergei Titov]] 20:52, 27 October 2011 (CDT)

You're not restricted, but it's preferred that users do their own screen captures. The ones you uploaded are just cropped versions of ones that are available from that site and the DVD's and HD versions are much better and cleaner. If you want to point out what episodes have weapons that are missed, than I would put that on the discussion page. Details such as what episode and season they're from are also good to include. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]]

== Now I'm asking you to stop ==

Most of the screenshots for [[Chuck]] you've just uploaded are either weapons that already have a lot of representation (no more Sarah 5906 shots!) or don't show anything new about the weapon. If there was a variant on the weapon or another character was holding the weapon, there might be a reason for a new screenshot. As for now, your screenshots are just repetitive and make the already long page more difficult to navigate.

I'm in the process of adding a lot more shots to the page, so please do NOT upload any more screenshots for [[Chuck]] unless there's a brand new weapon that's already listed on the page. Also, do NOT replace any of the shots I've uploaded unless you have a HD version of the shot.

I'm asking you this nicely, but if you continue on, I may be forced to place your privileges on temporary hold. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 23:10, 27 October 2011 (CDT)

K, I'm sorry :( I have a tendency to overdo things. I just replaced one of the 5906 shots with one that showed it better from a dif episode (the one from cougars one almost completely blacked out), i added the glocks cuz.. watev I guess you can delete them or move them. I only replaced the one shot u had of rafe with a p229 cuz mine was a closer up. Sorry --[[User:Sergei Titov|Сергей Титов, Sergei Titov]] 23:13, 27 October 2011 (CDT)

== Hawaii Fivie 0 Taurus ==

If you had looked at the discussion page for season 1, you would have seen that there were already the exact same screenshots and a weapon pic already uploaded. There was much debate about whether this was a Taurus so that's why it was not put on the page yet. When you uploaded your pics, you didn't get a warning that this was a duplicated file? --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 14:25, 29 October 2011 (CDT)

I know, I found that odd too. I looked on the Discussion page and I didn't find the pictures. the whole debate about the pistol wasn't there so I assumed it was settled or deleted? Thx for adding the jericho and usps from Zoom!! --[[User:Sergei Titov|Сергей Титов, Sergei Titov]] 14:57, 29 October 2011 (CDT)

== Chuck "Versus" against "Vs." ==

When adding episode titles for [[Chuck]], please spell out "Versus" instead of using the abbreviation "Vs." since this is the official way the episode is named (as seen on the DVD materials). This is also to match the style of the rest of the page. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 19:18, 2 November 2011 (CDT)

Actually there is nothing in the rules, standards, and principals about that. So forget what Ben41 stated.
