AK-47

JD0556: Just fixing the release date, it said 20032

'''The AK-47 and variants are used by the following actors in the following movies, television series, anime, and video games:'''

'''NOTE: Please keep in mind that while "AK-47" is often a catch-all term for 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov rifles, most so-called "AK-47s" in movies - particularly American movies - are actually either Egyptian Maadi ARM copies of the highly improved [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]], or variants of the Chinese [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]]. Please check carefully to make sure that the rifle in question is a true AK-47 and not an AKM or a Chinese Type 56. When in doubt, it is probably safer to assume AKM or Type 56.'''

It is noteworthy that the U.S. government had a ban on all weapons imported from Warsaw Pact nations during the Cold War years (1947-1989). Communist nations which were not part of the Warsaw pact, such as Yugoslavia and Mainland China, were allowed to negotiate trade agreements with the U.S., thus the influx of Chinese AK type rifles and Yugo AKs (Zastava). The Maadi ARMs (the US version of the MISR) were allowed because Egypt was never a Communist country nor a member of the Warsaw Pact. But, as a result of this, '''virtually no U.S. movie has a real original AK-47 prior to a certain date.''' The exceptions are, custom build ups after the mid 1990s when original AK-47 rifle kits were available (as was done on "We Were Soldiers", using original blueprints and US made milled receivers), and movies filmed overseas where foreign movie armorers had no such restrictions. This is particularly true for films made in Israel and some parts of Europe. This is not the case now, with the current crop of films made outside the U.S., mostly in the newly democratic Eastern European nations (Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, etc.) However, Russia has firmly blocked the export of their old AK-47 surplus guns outside of the country, having distributed most of them to client nations and guerillas throughout the world in the previous five decades. So the AK-47 one 'thinks' one sees may very well be a Poly Technologies Legend series AK (from China) or another AK Variant.

=== Animation ===

* ''[[Boondocks, The]]''

== AKS-47 ==

[[Image:Aks47e.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Type I AKS-47 - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:AKS-47.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Type III AKS-47 with stock folded - 7.62x39mm]]

Basically the same as the AK-47, but the rear-trunion is altered with a swiveling mechanism to allow for the under-folding stock.

[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg‎|thumb|right|450px|AKM, Stamped Steel Receiver w/ slant muzzle brake - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:MaadiARM.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Maadi ARM - most of the AKMs seen in movies during the 1980s were imported ARMs that were legally converted to full auto fire. This image is of an actual movie gun. The laminated buttstock was replaced with a hardwood one when the original stock was broken during a stunt. This example is also loaded with a 30-round bakelite plastic magazine - 7.62x39mm]]

The improved version of the AK-47, featuring a number of refinements such as a stamped receiver (as opposed to the milled receiver of the original AK-47), a slant compensator on the tip of the barrel (to reduce recoil), an improved gas tube (without vents), and use of lighter materials to reduce weight and simplify construction.

Most of the AKMs seen in Hollywood movies are actually Egyptian Maadi MISR copies, which were sold in the U.S. as the ARM in the 1980s - such weapons were first procured by Stembridge Gun Rentals for ''[[Red Dawn]]'' and subsequently re-used in numerous other motion pictures. The Maadi is almost identical to the original Soviet-built AKM, save for the markings, and is nearly impossible to tell apart.

== AKMS ==
[[Image:AKMS.jpg|thumb|right|450px|AKMS, stamped steel receiver w/ slant muzzle brake and under-folding stock - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:AKMSPistol.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Custom AKMS with shortened barrel, as seen in ''[[Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines]]'', ''[[Pineapple Express]]'', ''[[Rambo (2008)|Rambo]]'', and ''[[Taken]]'' - 7.62x39mm]]
Basically the same as the AKM, but the rear-trunion is altered with a swiveling mechanism to allow for the under-folding stock. The AKMS nomenclature also indicates that the rifle is not a milled receiver variant and has the AKM style of gas block, top cover, barrel assembly, front sight, and appropriate forearm furniture.

== AKMSU ==
[[Image:AK-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|right|450px|AKMSU Krinkov - 7.62x39mm. This is a blank adapted full auto transferable AKM (7.62x39mm) pistol that was converted into a Krinkov via parts kit. Guns just like this one have been used in ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'', ''[[Three Kings]]'', and numerous other movies and TV shows.]]

Chopped and shortened version of the AKM, made to resemble the [[AKS-74U]] except that it is still a 7.62x39mm gun. The AKMSU was never manufactured by the Soviet Union; however, many other countries, including Yugoslavia, built their own versions.

Most of the so-called "AKMSU" carbines seen in Hollywood movies, such as ''[[Three Kings]]'', ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'', ''[[Bad Boys II]]'', etc. are actually full-size AK variants that have been converted with Krinkov parts kits; many feature side-folding [[AKS-74U]]-style stocks. The picture to the right is an actual movie gun that is almost identical to those that have appeared in many films and TV shows.

==Norinco Type 56==

[[Image:ChineseType56.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Norinco Type 56 (fixed stock variant) with under-folding bayonet ("pig sticker") which was standard on PLA-issue Type 56s - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Type56Standard.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Norinco Type 56 (Imported into the U.S. as the Norinco AKS-47 or AKS-47 Sporter) - 7.62x39mm. Rather than having the underfolder pig sticker Bayonet assembly, this has the standard Bayonet lug underneath the gas block as the AKM and later variants.]]
[[Image:Type56S.jpg‎|thumb|right|450px|Norinco Type 56-1 (under-folding stock variant) - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Type56-2.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Norinco Type 56-2 (side-folding stock variant) - 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Type56withChicomDrum.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Norinco Type 56 (Imported AKS-47 into the U.S.) with Chinese 75 Round Drum Magazine - 7.62x39mm]]

The Chinese Type 56 assault rifle (manufactured by China North Industries Corporation, or Norinco) is by far the most commonly-seen AK derivative in Hollywood productions, both film and television. They are frequently seen impersonating Russian weapons in many films, since the Russians never sold a civilian AK model in the U.S. (or Europe) during the latter half of the 20th century. Most of the movie prop rental houses in Hollywood had dozens if not hundreds of Chinese AKs - mostly the Type 56s (7.62x39mm version) or the similar [[AK-47#Norinco Type 84S|Type 84s]] (5.56x45mm version). These were usually semi-automatic civilian versions (commonly designated "AK47S" or "AKS47" by the importers), in many cases converted to full-auto by Class III manufacturers.

There are three main variants of the Type 56 - the standard Type 56, which has a fixed stock, the Type 56-1, which has an under-folding stock, and the Type 56-2, which has a side-folding stock. Most fixed-stock Type 56 rifles have an under-folding spike bayonet, known as the "pig sticker"; this rifle is often seen in movies about the Vietnam War, and is correct for NVA throughout most of the conflict. Quite a few of the Type 56s seen in movies also have [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]-style slant compensators fitted; this was a common feature on semi-auto Type 56s exported to the U.S., but NOT the full-auto military model.

The easiest way to tell when an AK-type rifle seen in a movie or TV show is a Chinese Type 56 is by looking at the front sight; Chinese AKs have a distinctive full-circle ("hooded") front sight that no other AKs (including those made in Russia) have.

[[‎Image:NorincoType84STarget.jpg‎|thumb|right|500px|Norinco Type 84S "Target" Rifle - 5.56x45mm. Basically a standard Norinco Type 84S with a slightly longer barrel. This variant was ready for market just as the 1989 US import ban was implemented, so it is mostly seen in Canada. It has an 18.5" barrel and was very rarely seen in the U.S. Gun market.]]
[[‎Image:NorincoType84SMatch.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Norinco Type 84S Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm. Norinco was stuck sitting on a pile of 21" RPK barrels chambered for 5.56mm when the door slammed shut on U.S. imports in 1989. Norinco saved money by mating their 21" long RPK-style barrels to their stockpile of 84S Folding Stock receiver bodies and thus exported the '''Type 84S Match''' to countries such as Canada and Australia. Canada would suffer their own import ban on 'frightening looking guns' in 1995. Australian gun owners would suffer such a fate in 1997.]]

The Type 84 rifle is nearly identical to the Chinese Type 56 (seen above), but it is chambered in 5.56x45mm /.223 Remington. It is often seen impersonating the [[AK-74]] in movies and TV shows (particularly ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'', where it is carried by Russian SG teams).

The Type 84 was imported and sold with an AK birdcage flash hider and had a deep polished factory blue. Several other variants of the 84S Rifle (that are mostly unfamiliar to American Gun Owners) were victims of the 1989 Import Ban that barred most new 'assault rifles' from entering the United States. These rifles were thus mostly exported to Canada and Australia, and as a result, appeared in television shows or movies that were filmed in those countries. Listed here are two of the variants seen in Canadian or Australian television (the Target and the Match versions). If it were not for Canadian or Australian movie armorers, most of us in the U.S. would never have known these variants existed.

[[Image:Zastava M70AB2.jpg‎ |thumb|right|400px|Zastava M70AB2 folding stock rifle - 7.62x39mm (non-standard pistol grip). The military version of the M70AB2 underfolder rifle has a black plastic pistol grip as seen in the image above. However all of the Zastava M70AB2 rifles imported in the U.S. by Mitchell Arms had the wooden pistol grip seen in this photo. So a wooden pistol grip is indicative of a 'Mitchell Arms' rifle.]]

The Zastava M70 was the Yugoslavian variant of the Russian AK-47 (later AKM), however, it utilized a strengthened lower receiver, more akin to the RPK than the AK-47/AKM. It also has other design variations which make it immediately recognizable from its Russian cousin. Some of the variants also have finned barrels to aid in heat dispersion. It was made by Zavodi Crvena Zastava (Red Banner Plant), now Zastava Oružje / Zastava Arms in a Yugoslavian (now Serbian) city of Kragujevac.
It was most widely used and seen in the Wars in the 1990s of the former Yugoslavian republics - Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro (Slovenia and Macedonia were not a major combatants in the fighting). Yugoslavia also sold them to many countries such as Iraq (which produced a licensed copy known as the Tabuk, which lacked the grenade-launching sight) and Kuwait.

The Zastava M70 was produced in the following variants:

* M70 - milled receiver, fixed stock
* M70A – milled receiver, underfolding stock
* M70A1 – milled receiver, underfolding stock, mount for night or optical sights
* M70B1 – stamped receiver, fixed stock
* M70AB2 – stamped receiver, underfolding stock
* M70B1N – stamped receiver, fixed stock, mount for night or optical sights
* M70AB2N – stamped receiver, underfolding stock, mount for night or optical sights

* Variants M70B, M70AB and M70AB1 also exist, but they are rare and their specifications are unclear.

== Zastava M85 ==
The Zastava M85 is a compact carbine manufactured by the Yugoslavian Zastava company, similar to the AKMSU mentioned above, although with an underfolding stock instead of a side-folder, a three-holed handguard and is chambered for 5.56x45mm.

The Romanian clones of the AKM and AKMS, identifiable by the vertical foregrip integrated into the handguard. The folding-stock version of the AIM, known as the AIMS, originally had a conventional under-folding stock and the grip curving inwards at a convex angle. This was eventually replaced by a version which had a side-folding stock (copied from the East German MPi-KMS), as shown here.

[[Image:MPIKM72Wood.jpg|right|thumb|none|450px|East German MPi-KM-72 with fixed stock - 7.62x39mm. This was the transitional MPi-KM-72 that still used the wooden lower hand grip from the MPi-KM. These were common from 1965-1972. The Side folding stock was not widely distributed until 1973.]]
[[Image:EastGermanAK MPi-KM-72.jpg|right|thumb|none|450px|East German MPi-KM-72 with plastic stock - 7.62x39mm]]
The MPi-KM/MPi-KMS-72 are East German license-manufactured versions of the AKM/AKMS. Early versions of the rifles had wooden furniture, but later models have distinctive stippled brown buttstocks and pistol grips. The MPi-KMS also has a side folding single strut "coat hanger" stock, a feature which is shared with the Romanian AIMS rifle. After the German reunification, all variants of the MPi were removed from service, with most rifles being sold as surplus to the militaries of such countries as Finland and Turkey.

Note: The chance of seeing a 100% original East German MPi-K series of rifle in a movie or television show is extremely unlikely. Most of the "East German" AKs that are seen in visual media are regular AKMs using East German Parts kits.

==FEG NGM-81==
[[File:FEG-NGM 81.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Hungarian FEG NGM-81 with original PKM style flash hider - 5.56x45mm]]
The Hungarian FEG NGM-81 was a domestic rifle based on the indigenous Hungarian AK74, but built for export. For that reason, it was chambered in 5.56x45mm, though some 5.45x39mm variants exist. The Rifle was built between 1981-1990. The original rifles were only offered with a fixed butt and a wooden fore-end, made in the same Hungarian Blonde wood as the SA-85M export rifle. The Folding stock version of this rifle was called the NGV-81. Due to Cold War prohibitions against Combloc weapons within the U.S. (except those exempted by treaty), the vast majority of the export NGM-81 rifles went to Europe and Africa. Most versions omit the large [[PK machine gun|PKM]] style flash hider, opting instead for the standard AK-47 style muzzle nut. The FEG NGM rifle was noteworthy in that it kept the AK-47/Type 56 style of gas block system, with the gas relief holes in the gas tube, not the gas block (as is the case with the AKM and later style rifles). The Gas block itself and the front sight is the AKM style in shape and the rifle takes a Hungarian stamped metal 5.56mm magazine similar but not identical to the Wieger style AK magazine.

==AKU-94==

The AKU-94 is a bullpup conversion kit (built and originally sold as a kit by K-VAR) for the AK type rifle, Both the European style AKs (like the Romanian AKs or Egyptian Maadis) and the Chinese style of AK rifle (Type 56) can fit into the kit. In the Mid-2000s, KVAR stopped making and selling the AKU-94 conversion kit. All remaining kits were purchased by Century Arms International, and subsequently used to 'spruce up' AK rifles with a futuristic bullpup look. Currently the rifle with kit installed, is sold by Century Arms International. This bullpup configuration retains the standard barrel length but the design makes the AK rifle more compact making it more suitable for close quarters battle.

==Erm...==

I'm not sure how you think uploading a picture of a ''Korean'' tank is going to prove anything about what American tanks in Crysis are armed with. I put two images side by side in the article. It is exactly, precisely the same weapon model. There's no M60D anywhere, just a Type 88 with spade grips. [[User:Tim|Tim]] 04:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

*Yes, but this isn't the internet movie firearm noise database, we're going by what the gun looks like. Both guns are identical, so writing them up as if they're not doesn't make sense. And personally I haven't noticed any difference in firing sounds either, so I find that claim a little odd. The ASV Anti-Vehicle is definately a 20mm [the game actually says so when you take control of the Korean armoured vehicle armed with one during "Shore Leave"] so it's not an M2; it certainly has some design elements copied from the M2, but there's elements of the H&K GMG in there [especially the barrel] and the ammo belt is ''huge'', much too large for a 50 cal. [[User:Tim|Tim]] 04:22, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

**The majority of Crysis' weapons are based closely on real-life weapons, many being combinations of parts from several; that goes for the majority of the vehicles, too [for example, the US tank is a combination of the M1A1 Abrams, British Challenger I and Israeli Merkava 3: I don't know why they went for old versions of the three tanks, mind]. Avoiding precisely replicating real weapons means you don't have to pay fees to anyone for the image of that weapon to appear in your game; it seems 'Frankenguns' like the ones in Crysis aren't enough to get copyright claims filed.

Hrm, I failed to notice his comment left to you. Because I'm so generous, he gets one more chance. If he doesn't do anything bad in the future, he can go about what he wants. If he tries that smarmy shit with me or any other admins., he's banned for good, no second chances. Same for if he uploads bootlegs. BTW, he seems to have a problem writing with proper grammer (lack of spacing in words, spelling "muzzle" as "mussle", etc.) He even showed this poor grammar in the message he sent to you: ''Nobody cares about that,you bastard.'' Thanks for informing me of this, I've been busy working on Watchmen (which his works interupted) so I haven't been able to patrol the site in full like I usually can. Let me know if he does anything else in the future. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:Also, I wanted to point one thing out. In the bootlegs he uploaded, the gun he listed as a Kar98k was in fact the MG34 (you could even see the bipod and such), so if that's what you spotted in the original film, I'm not sure the Kar98k was ever present at all. I think it is kind of ironic, I had put some bootlegs for this movie on the forum (since I know bootlegs don't go here) to confirm and deny certain things, and I did a much better job finding good shots. :) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Lois & Clark==

Hi,

I've watched a handful of episodes of ''[[Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman|Lois and Clark]]'' on YouTube, and I've noticed you really made quite a few mistakes regarding the guns which appear in the show, which makes me suspicious of some of the other guns you IDed. Among those I've noticed so far:

* (1.) There is no Beretta 92F in the Pilot, and you missed out on the only two guns which DID appear in that episode - a S&W 3913 "Ladysmith" and an Uzi.
* (2.) Lex's pistol in "Requiem for a Superhero" is not a gold Desert Eagle. It's some type of revolver (I can't tell what kind), and it's unlikely that the Mark XIX variant of the Desert Eagle appears in any episodes of the show because this version was not introduced until 1995.
* (3.) None of the robbers in "Fly Hard" use MP5 variants. They use Glock 17s, MAC-10s, Ruger Mini-14s with Muzzelite bullpup stocks, and a pistol-grip shotgun that appears to be a Mossberg 500 Persuader. Off the top of my head, I can recall one episode of the show where an MP5 was used in a drive-by shooting, but I can't remember which one (I only remember that it involved the annoying and trigger-happy super woman).
* (4.) I have no idea if the Colt Model 733 is in "Barbarians at the Planet", but I have seen XM177s in a couple other episodes, so it's most likely that those are what you saw. The Model 733 isn't the only CAR-15 variant that existed before the M4.

I realize you may be more into guns from 1914-1975, so what I would recommend is that you post more screencaps if you have them and maybe we can help out more with the guns. There's nothing wrong with being unsure about certain guns, but it's best if you just admit this on the page instead of stating something that's incorrect. That way, other people who have seen the show can make a positive ID later. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:53, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

==re: Lois and Clark==

The YouTube video is too blurry to be sure, but I doubt it's a 1st Generation Glock 17. The Glock didn't start to appear in movies until around 1990, and by then, the 2nd Generation models had been available for several years. Personally, I would like to get rid of the Gen 1 Glock image from the Glock 17 page, because unless anyone has proof otherwise, it's safe to assume most Glocks in movies/TV shows are 2nd Generation models. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

:He's probably right about the S&W 3913. But personally, I don't think that a gun deserves a different entry just because of its slide markings (otherwise, we'd have to give the Beretta 92F and M9 different entries, which is something that I have already opposed and told IMFDB members ''not'' to do). Also, here are some other things I've noticed:

:(1.) The MP5A3s are not the "Navy" version; they seem to have the SEF lower receivers. Might want to replace the A3 Navy picture with one of the other A3 pictures.
:(2.) The Desert Eagle used by Ari is probably not a Mark XIX, because the Mark XIX wasn't around when that episode aired. It's more likely the older Mark I or Mark VII, one of those two.
:(3.) We have a picture of a Mini-14 with a Muzzelite stock, so ditch the picture of the regular Mini-14 and replace it.
:(4.) One other request...do you mind adding another picture of Lex's Beretta 92FS Inox? The picture of him putting it in the case is a little blurry; you should add a picture of him checking the chamber (which occurs only a few seconds earlier).

:That's all I see for now. Anything else I can help with? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==Re:==

*(1.) I'm not sure what the golden pistol is. It's not seen clearly enough to tell much. But it's definitely way too small to be a Desert Eagle, as the page used to say.
*(2.) Yes, you are correct, there does appear to be an MP5K in the background of that picture.
*(3.) Crysis is full of shit, and I explained why on the page.
*(4.) The weapon is indeed a sawed-off double-barrel shotgun, but I'm not sure what kind. Double-barrel shotguns are very hard to tell apart. Most of us just link to the [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun]] page and post the gun we ''think'' it might be, but it's often very hard for us to tell, so we rarely bother.

The sniper rifle looks to be a Ruger Model 77, but I'm not sure.

As for the guns in the water fountain, the gun next to the AR-15 HBAR is an Uzi (you already documented its appearance in the same episode). The nickel-plated shotgun appears to be a Winchester of some type, but I'm not sure about that one, either. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 14:37, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

:Sci-fi guns are only allowed on IMFDB if there is proof that they are based on existing guns (for instance, the M41 pulse rifle from ''[[Aliens]]'' was based on an M1A1 Thompson submachine gun, so that is a sci-fi gun which we do allow). I will have to watch "Double Jeopardy" again to see if that gun was based on a real weapon, but I don't think it was. I may be wrong because it's been a long time since I've seen that episode.

:Also, I have some more guns I've spotted after watching a few of the other episodes:

:(1.) None of the Nazis in "Super Mann" use Walther PPKs; the pistols they all carry are P38Ks. The exception is the head Nazi (can't remember his name) who shoots Hank West - he uses a Heckler & Koch USP.

:(2.) There are a LOT of guns in "Tempus, Anyone?" Besides the Desert Eagle Mark VII that Tempus himself carries (I got pictures for that one already), I spotted several M16A1s, a Galil AR, a Remington 870, a Ruger Mini-14, more Glocks and Beretta 92Fs, and a nickel Walther PPK that Tempus himself carries in the end.

:(3.) In the episode "Target: Jimmy Olsen", the first assassin (Malloy, or whatever his name was) carried a CAR-15 variant, which I think was a Colt Model 653.

:(4.) In "Super Mann", the supermodel Nazi chick used another Chinese Type 69 RPG, though the warhead on it was clearly fake.

==RE:Carbines, Repeating Rifles==

Good questions. Here's my take:

* (1.) Yes, carbines and lever-action repeating rifles should go under "rifles." And to answer (3.), yes, carbines are a type of rifle.

* (2.) As for the [[Ruger Mini-14]], that is a gray area. If you ask Ruger, they will vehemently deny that the Mini-14 is an "assault rifle". They sucked up to the Brady Bunch in order to prevent the Mini-14 from being banned as an "assault rifle" during the 1990s when the Assault Weapon Ban was being debated in Congress. So officially, the Mini-14 has never been classified as an "assault rifle" by law (and Ruger removed the flash hider and bayonet lug to keep it that way). But most gun owners in America think it's absurd that the Mini-14 is not an assault rifle, but an AR-15 is, since for all practical purposes, both guns do almost the same things. My personal take on it is that because the Mini-14 isn't a "military-style" weapon, it shouldn't be called an assault rifle, but that's a question of aesthetics. So long story short, I would probably just put it under "Rifles", not "Assault Rifles."

Hope that helps you. Also, the gun that you identified as a SIG-Sauer P226 is actually a S&W auto of some sort. I think it's a [[Smith & Wesson 5906]], or maybe a 659 (hard to tell). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:34, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean. Which ones? Ben41 has access to more Blueray DVDs than I do, so I'm alittle confused. Usually his shots are better. The only time I do better is when there is a HIGH DEF trailer. I download the 1080i Version and capture that at maximum scan on a Mac Pro Tower with a HUGE cinema flatscreen display and then crop and adjust in Photoshop. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 05:02, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

== Hi. About screencappin'... ==

Hi!
I was just wondering, how do you take you're screenshots? Do you take screencaps from DVD's or BLU-Ray's? What kind of program do you use? --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 19:58, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
::Okay, I myself use VLC player for both DVD & BLU-Ray... and Gimp 2 for editing, if necessary. But anyways, the reason I asked is your screencaps. You said you screencap mostly from DVD's. How come the screencaps are so big then? Do you blow them up with a picture tool? Most DVD's only give out small (about 700 pixels or 800 pixels, give or take), but your screencaps are (randomly) anywhere from 1,017 pixels to 1873 pixels. --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 21:26, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
::::I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but you shouldn't do that. I mean of course, you should take screencaps, as we need them, screencaps make a page look good and professional. ''However''... you shouldn't drag the sides of the WMP to make the images bigger. You're only stretching them, not actually improving the quality of the images. I mean when you blow them up, they look pixelated, and unclear. You're actually making the worse. If you wanna get better (and bigger) images, I suggest you get BLU-Rays and screencap them, as they are already more sharp and of better quality. But if not, DVD's are fine, most people screencap off of them. But yeah, treat DVD's as DVD's and HD as HD. Even though you're using WMP, I suggest you try VLC again, after downloading and installing some ''codecs'' (Try K-Lite codec pack). You might not have the proper codecs for VLC to run your DVD's. Again, I don't wanna sound rude or aggressive, and I'm sorry if I did. Cheers, and thanks mate. --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 21:42, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm stuck behind a proxy, so online gaming is a no-go. I'll visit a relative with a decent internet connection though, albeit for only 2 days. No idea if I try it out then. Oh, and the Jackal screenshot IS from the Nanosuit Progression Trailer. Go through it frame by frame and you'll see it.

Thanks for asking ahead of time. When I use VLC, I add a little bit more sharpness to the shots. I would request before you start overwriting all of them, that you would do one or two because I would like to compare. I think it's better to actually overwrite an existing pic instead of uploading completely new ones because you can see what the older pics look like compare to the new ones. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 20:53, 1 July 2011 (CDT)

The ones that are still on this site? I'm not so sure about them. I know he uploaded them onto his Movie Weapon Wiki, but I'm not worried about that. If you want to know my opinion, I would rather just delete them, I really don't like the idea of them remaining on the site if they are a copyright violation.

==Transformers BTS==
Sorry for the delay. Yes, we still have the images on our server, but since the film was released in theaters, I don't believe that changes the legal status of the pics. From what I gather, they were telephoto paparazzi photos of actors on the set. Not officially released but taken by a fan. Now this happens all the time and publications like the National Enquirer print stuff like that, all the time as well. I hope to get all the images we need from the officially released DVD/BluRay since that is an actual release. We may allow some of the pics, but I would be a lot calmer about the entire scenario when the film is available on DVD/Bluray. The mods may discuss this, but I tend to be very cautious when it comes to any activity that may bring IMFDB under the scrutiny of Major Motion Picture Studio lawyers. Trans 3 is such a high profile film and IMFDB is growing in stature within the industry itself. I would hate to have us get tainted in any way by any 'take down order' by the studio lawyers. But then I'm super cautious when dealing with certain entities in the business. But I'm not 100% against the images either. Perhaps the nature of the source of the images, someone whom we believe to be 'not entirely stable' also taints the images. '''You stated that the facebook account was suddenly deleted. Would this indicate some LEGAL action by the studio?''' I fear so. So if you're asking my opinion, I would rather wait than risk doing anything to piss off the studios.

You're quite welcome for the WotW help. As for the M16A2 and the Mk 19, the convoy scene should help. I believe one of the humvees (with the gunner wearing sunglasses instead of goggles) has the Mk 19 and the truck full of soldiers (one of which shouts to Robbie that he's gonna get run over) should be bristling with M16A2's. The hilltop battle scene would be another place to check for M16A2's if the convoy yields no results. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 18:30, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure. I have a dozen Remington 870s set up for films, but none in that variation, but I will ask around to the other Weapons wranglers and see who has one like the one you're looking for. I will be taking shots of my 870s in the standard police and police folding stock versions. I will also try to get a pic of the 870 that Linda Hamilton actually used in T2. But a lot of the guns are used in a film and then retrofitted to look different for another movie. Thanks for the compliment. I sure would like people to see that IMFDB has REAL pics of REAL movie guns and not just copies of pics from Gun sites or (worse!) Airsoft pics. You know it DOES cost me money to get pics of some of those particular guns from famous movies .... I have to take the armorer who worked on the specific movie OUT to a nice lunch! hahahaha.

I am also pretty shocked that you, Orca, MT and others are so damned young! Y'all are just kids! But you have an IMPRESSIVE array of knowledge and wisdom and maturity for your years! I can tell you now, that you guys act more mature than tons of guys who are old enough to be your dads!

== ''Armageddon'' screenshots ==

Thanks a lot for providing screenshots for ''[[Armageddon]]''! I only have the movie on VHS so wasn't able to get any images myself. You did a wonderful job, and really helped the article a lot. Keep up the awesome work, man! :) [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 19:18, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Orca1_9904

==[[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]==
Thanks, you're screen shots are good too. Keep up the good work.
:I read your guns held, do you have any pictures of it so someone could I.D. it here. I got some major gunsmith bibles with just about every gun ever made and even if I can't I.D. it by sight, I'd have that book. Or is it a case of you held it a long time ago and couldn't remember it if you tried? Let me know, I'd love to help.

[[Re: Screenshot Help]]
[[By the way, is it me, or does Bad Boys II have more guns than any other film on this site thus far? Orca1 9904 01:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)]]
:Now my [[Last Action Hero]] and [[Hollow Point]] pages have it beat. Cool!

::Distict B13 has tied with Hollow Point. Both have 37. But if I had sorted all the guns on the wedding table section, I'd have had him beat. I guess the most gun heavy movies are the ones no one hears of or hasn't in a long time. Last Action Hero is a great movie, 34 guns, but no one really even knows about it.

:::Let's see how my ''[[Hard Boiled]]'' page turns out once I get back to work on it. I realize it doesn't have either of those pages beat yet, but every time I watch that movie, I see another type of gun in it that I didn't notice before. I'm willing to bet that it could have even ''[[District B13]]'' beat once I finish the page.

==Re: Thanks==
My computer was recently so dark I couldn't have seen it myself, but I turned the brightness up recently so I could see what the hell was going on. I could tell the 2nd shotgun was a Wincehster 12 because my dad just got one to fix in the shop ''and'' I had just been looking at a book that showed the bottom of the shotgun, which looked indentical to the shot in the movie. Thanks for complementing my [[Toy Soldiers]] page. I actually bought it off Ebay just to screencap it. I had seen it on TV and wanted to put it on the site because I thought it was cool. I'm actually just about to upload [[Heartbreak Ridge]] page, so you can check that out soon. Keep up the good work. -[[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Re:Hey==

Oh, don't worry, I don't really want to "compete" or anything for most screenshots in a movie. But it must be said that ''[[Hard Boiled]]'' really does have a ridiculous number of different types of firearms, so once I get a new computer that's actually capable of playing DVDs without slowing down, I can get back to work on that. That, and the fact that making arrangements to move to Texas are proving rather difficult, are the reasons I keep delaying my work on the page.

You are right...I really should get the ''[[Boyz n the Hood]]'' and ''[[Belly]]'' pages re-done. I still have the screenshots I took before the Great Crash, and there aren't that many guns in either movie, so it's something I could get done.

:Wait, so you're one of the mods? And Orca, too? Whew! You know, for a while, I've thought this site's been going without any mods, because I see Bunni and Wykiscop (errr, I know I butchered that) so rarely. That's so odd that I just thought you guys were regular users like myself. Goes to show how behind I am...

:Yeah, I'm still trying to fix up the Beretta page. Is there a way to do breaks after each section for the different variants? I know there is in Wikipedia, but I couldn't get the same thing to work here. The Beretta page still needs some work, so does the SIG P220 series page, and the M1911 page is basically a disaster right now! Also, I did see your ''[[Shooter]]'' page - nice work! Sadly, I sold my Taurus PT92, which was a very old one (wood grips and no third position decocker) many years ago to pay for my AK, and now my S&W 4506 is my only pistol. I like Berettas and Tauruses, but I only prefer the Taurus slightly because I think the safety is in a better position (you can reach it with your thumb more easily than the Beretta).

==Re:MGS4 M1911A1==
Thanks, I wish I had one too. I hope to buy one soon but I'm unemployed and money is a big factor. I've got about $200 now, I'm half way there. I worship the 1911 from the 3rd game and hope to one day make one based on what is said in the game. The Uber 1911. I just wanted the code unless I get one anytime in the future.

==Re:Nice Job==
I can do those little pages day after day, it's the big movies that take a weekend to do. I'll take care of the other two Jurassic Parks sometime this week, I have the Rambos, Unforgiven, the other Sergio Leone westerns and a lot more on my list. -GM

==870==
[[Image:DotD Mossberg2.jpg|thumb|none|300px]]
Per your request: That looks like a Remington 870 but the rear ghost ring sights look like Mossberg 590 style sights. Weird. I can get a Remington 870 with Ghost ring sights, but the sights I've seen don't look like Ving Rhames' gun. Have you found any shot on the web of the exact configuration that he has? Or did their armorer just put Mossberg Sights on a remington? MPM2008

==Check out the vandal==
Some moron is now vandalizing the [[Commando]] Page. His last comment when i said 'not to delete page contents and replace them with gibberish' was ''"It's fun. Good luck"''. But he changes his IP address every time.

==Beretta==

Hi,

This is kinda minor, but just so you know...the Beretta 92FS is not spelled "M92FS", "M92F", or "92 FS" (with a space between the '92' and 'FS'). It's exactly as I've spelled it: Beretta 92FS. Sorry to be nitpicky, but you know, that's what we're here for.

:It looks awesome now! I actually have the trilogy on DVD and have thought about screencapping this movie (and the first) for a while, but like a lot of things, I never seem to get around to it. But...that's OK, cause you've done a fine job yourself!

:One thing I should point out is that you might want to take a screencap of the end when Simon's men are all grabbing MP5Ks out of the crates before they try to flee the cops. I remember all of the MP5Ks in that particular scene being Daisy BB replicas of MP5Ks, and I figured that might be worth pointing out.

::Appreciated!

==Re: Bad Boys II P226==

Yeah, I suppose we should, just because MPM2008 went to the trouble of taking the picture and it would be a shame not to use it. Especially if it's a more accurate representation of the gun that Lawrence uses in the film.

==Beretta M92FS==
Don't know if this is good enough. Let me know. I was trying to find one with a Pietro Beretta marking on the slide, but a lot of mine have Beretta USA marked on the slide. If it's not good enough, then I'll keep on looking for one that's not all beat up with a Pietro Beretta marked slide. Alot of our Berettas are heavily customized.
[[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px]]

::Hey, Alienqueen, now that we have our own genuine 92F picture courtesy of MoviePropMaster, do you want to start replacing the Beretta image that we've been using since the site was started? Last I checked, we have over 100 pages linking to the old Beretta image, so it might take a while, but I think it's worth our while to phase out older images taken from other sites, and replace them with MPM's images.

::BTW, to answer your question: There is pretty much zero difference between American-made 92Fs and Italian-made guns besides the markings. There are some internal differences between the original 92F and the 92FS, however, but I don't think it's terribly relevant for the purposes of this site.

==RE: Dawn of the Dead==
Feel free to remove them or add some of the info to the descriptions. -GM

==Re:==

Probably for the better...unfortunately, I'm not so good with shotguns (I have trouble telling Mossberg 500s apart from 590s, for instance). -MT2008

:Only thing is, I'm a bit worried, because isn't it going to fuck up all the links on movie/TV/game pages that go to the Beretta page? It's kind of a bad situation when you've got a page that's got so many other pages linked to it. Is there any way to find a list of pages that link directly to the Beretta 92F page?

:Also, I agree with you that people should not put links to gun pages in the titles. It looks really bad, and personally, I like pages to look clean and neat. -MT2008

:Oh, yeah, and I didn't realize you could delete stuff? Can I give you some other pages to delete? As well as images?

:::Hmmm, maybe I'll do it later. But right now, here are some pages that need to go, because the users who made them didn't check carefully enough to make sure that other pages existed, or because they just weren't relevant to IMFDB:

I leave for a few days and all Hell breaks loose! hahaha ;) What was going on? I think someone was being careless with image '''overwrites'''. I guess now I'm a mod, though I will pretty much only have time to protect images (and the occasional banning of a vandal, but only if I'm 100% sure). ;) You guys did a great job of reverting pics, many times BEFORE I even noticed it myself! :) That was pretty seamless and invisible support, but I suppose that it got tiresome for you guys. I guess I won't have to complain to a mod if I see more vandalism on the site. Thanks. I do like the ability to edit the uploaded images. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

edit: I still can't figure why someone would overwrite an image that was SHOT for IMFDB with a 'stolen' shot from the net. Weird.

==870==
As for the DOTD 870 I would have to get Mossberg ghost ring sights and PUT them on an 870, which is what I'm pretty sure the armorer did. I don't have ANY mossberg sights and currently aren't ready to spend the $$ to pick them up, but I will try to get someone with both to do us the favor and swap them for a pic. I'm pretty sure that will do it for the page. :) Will keep that on the list of things to do.

Excellent! Nice to be rid of that dude finally. I dunno what his problem was, anyway.

I appreciate the nomination for mod, but I must warn you that I'm not sure I can be all that helpful. I'm working 40 hrs. a week now, and I usually don't post from my computer at work. So it's kinda hard for me to keep watch on this site regularly like I could have done when I was still in college. -MT2008

==Requests==
Okay, I'll get to it when I can.

==Screencaps==

One thing I'd recommend...for now, we should leave the movie screencaps up, but only if they're ones that haven't been replaced by better ones on their pages. Choi's shots from ''[[The Killer]]'', for instance, are worth keeping. I'll put them on the page when I get around to it. [[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 05:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah, I think so. I'm guessing some of these images may have been uploaded for pages that were lost in the Great Crash. [[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 05:09, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

::Yep, that would be a good idea. And wow...between the two of us, we've REALLY put a serious dent in the number of unused images that were in circulation. Unfortunately, as I'm discovering, there are still some users who uploaded images of guns we already have JUST for their own pages - the ''[[Chaos]]'' page was a good example before I edited it. We're gonna have to watch out for stuff like that, too - unnecessary images of guns that appear on only one page. It looks like user [[User:Mmanalang|Mmanalang]] did this quite frequently - I'm gonna have to work on his ''[[Revolver]]'' page a bit, too. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 05:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

==Re:Jaws==
Go for it, I don't own it. I only added stuff to the page because I saw it on TV. If you do do it though, don't forget to cut out any widescreen bars and gets some nice shots of Sheider shooting his guns, because his current pic on his page is mediocre at best. -GM

:Nice work with Four Brothers, btw.

==New pics==
Thanks. I try to please. I will be shooting a a3 and A4 as well as a Diemaco soon. I really want to start replacing all of the Colt commando and 653 pics when I can. I got better versions of all these guns and as you probably can tell, I've started taking all my pics with a Nikon Digital camera instead of shooting with a film camera and scanning the pics (some of the older ones were that "old School" way). The Digital camera sure makes a difference. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:07, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

==Thank you much! :)==
I explained my lighting set up to GM45 (you can check it out on his talk page), but it seems pretty complicated, but not so much once it's already set up. But thanks anyway. 99.999999% of the gun pics on the net SUCK! (also they're probably not public domain which is why IMFDB should try to replace as many of the copyrighted images as soon as possible). I just wonder if anyone notices (other than GM, MT, you and the other heavy duty mods/contributors), i.e. people who just visit IMFDB. So far I haven't seen any of my images pirated on other sites, so that's a good thing. :) hahaha.
I replaced one of my older M4 pics with a new one done with the new digital camera... It's one with aftermarket Rails but it's an iconic M4 image that we didn't have a good one of. I will also try to do the LE version and one with an M203, more like Thomas Jane's version in "the PUnisher". [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Though that info is third hand is the only reason I don't post it because I don't have the info directly from the source. The Barrel was replaced about 20 years ago for some reason, which is why the finish doesn't match.

Hey, have you seen the special feature from the ''[[Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)‎]]'' DVD where Charles Taylor (the movie's armorer) shows off the guns used in the movie? Dunno if you've thought of this already, but you should screencaps from that and use them on the page, just as GunMaster did for the ''[[Bad Boys]]'' page. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I think this is the most pristine shot of an AK-104 ever on the net! ;) And only IMFDB has it. :) hahaha.

The buttstock is a converted synthetic AK74 (made to fold) but the sling swivel is on the wrong side and the big gap for the scope mount on the stock is not there. I am waiting for a shipment of the real buttstock for the 104. That's a movie gun so it's not a perfect example of the real world AK104. I'll put a note that this is will be rephotographed when I get the correct magazine and buttstock.
==Hostage==
Thanks, it looks much better but you missed one or two of them. How come the Beretta still has black bars but is squished now? -GM
:You missed one of the USP Expert shots. I always thought if they got all distorted that I did the upload wrong, now I knwo. Thanks for fixing it. It looks far better now. -GM

==Request==
I'll keep it in mind. I usually do a bunch of handguns at once, and then a bunch of Rifles at once because I have to shift and adjust the entire lighting setup to do each size. I've done a bunch of images that I haven't uploaded yet, because I want to edit out the plastic pegs holding up the guns in the photographic table. Edit: Some of the Berettas don't interswap. I tried it once. I'll try it amongst a variety of models to see what fits. I've noticed that some different finishes have different tolerances between the frame and the slide. Again I will add that to my long list of things to do.

hehehehe. Here's a weird one. I saw this WAAAAAAYYY in the back of the vault. Figured someone would be interested in it. ;)

hahaha sorry for being unclear and confusing with my file naming nomenclature :) . That's not an FG421. The file name is actually supposed to be FG42 1st pattern. It's a [[FG 42]] aka Fallschirmjäger Gewehr 42 - the full sized assault rifle that fired the 7.92 Mauser round, used by Fallschirmjäger (German Paratroopers) in World War 2. It's so rare that few people have one. I missed an opportunity to get the 2nd pattern one, and now I'm kicking myself for missing that opportunity. I could have had both versions.

==The Dark side of movie guns==
One of the original Type 56 rifles from the movie "Uncommon Valor" (and no, please Don't post this image on that page, I have access to other rifles from the movie that are in way better shape and I intend to delete this image after a little while). This is what SOME movie guns look like. (Click on the image to see it up close) And no, they're not MY GUNS. I have some guns I need to clean up, but any beaters I try to clean up and keep as good as I can. But I tend to pick and choose the most pristine examples I can find of each movie gun. As you can guess, a lot of the movie guns (not the HERO pieces) are pretty beat up. We have actors and stunt persons dropping them and mishandling them all the time.

==My thoughts on Molotov Cocktail==
Don't know what your thougts are on this but I posted the message below:
--------

Just so you know, I'm strongly against an improvised weapon like the Molotov Cocktail having it's own page. '''It's a bottle with gasoline in it.''' It's not '''manufactured or crafted''', like any of the weapons on the other pages including things like custom swords, bows and knives.

Also no user ever needs to know, "Gee, what was the make of that Molotov Cocktail I saw in that movie?" Since IMFDB is an information resource on stuff that people intuitively would NOT already know, I feel we should not put pages on things that are improvised weapons, like "the Bride" in KILL BILL using a piece of wood with nails in it to kill Gogo Yubari.

Also would you also list the propane tanks used to blow up Zombies in DAWN OF THE DEAD as a weapon as well? They had a road flare in them so they were 'modified' like a molotov cocktail.

Since the page was made and effort was put into it, I won't complain any more, but I thought you must realize how I feel towards improvised weapons. I lump them in the same category as a crowbar (weapon used in Half life), a rock, a stick or a brick. Sure Video games use them as weapons, but they don't deserve the page that a known firearm or munition does since no one will ever wonder what country they came from, who made them, what their history or caliber is, or what version or variation is being used. IMHO

==WTF? Now we have internet Flash animation webisode shorts?==
Anonymous user 98.216.249.226 has created a page for Taegukgi. This is NOT the Korean war Movie of the same name, but a Flash animated short that lasts less than 60 seconds, created by an (albeit talented) fan. WTF. Though the short is quite cool, it's weird and stylized animation of round headed figures duking it out for about a minute. does it count if it's only public release is a website? I think people are pushing the boundaries of what is a legitimate title here.

The page on IMDFB.
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Taegukgi

Where you can watch Taegukgi:Stagnant Fire (Stagnant Flame is the 2nd webisode)

Your thoughts are appreciated.

==The Dark Knight==
Thanks man, I'll get working on it soon. I was just starting when I saw gunny was adding shots. I stopped and started on Mail Call. Once I finish saving those shots, I'll get my DVD on. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== 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. If you got the time [[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]] 02:04, 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]] 10:28, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

:Yeah, they are as heavy as they look. They have a real feel to them, but still somewhat lighter since not all of the parts are made of steel. I do play to buy a gas powered M4. It doesn't require a battery and operates by gas, so there is a working bolt and bolt catch, giving it a more realistic feel and even recoil.

==Heckler & Koch UMP==

I'm sorry for the picture changes I just think it would be better if I could have a same replica of a UMP 45 and a UMP 9 to show how close and what the difference is. If you don't want it fine i'll just upload on other guns.

[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:10, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

==Finally Answering your questions==
Sorry, but sometimes I miss the obvious! :) The AKM Pistol was one of several, I saw one with a painted bolt carrier. The one I photographed has a faded blued carrier. Don't know which variation was in which film. I think Mike's is the full auto gun, Harry's is the Semi auto pistol with a folding stock (Rambo 2008) registered as an SBR, but I'm not sure. So that's why I didn't mention if it was in anything or not, but I'm 100% sure that's the same type of gun. You asked previously if any of my M16s were from Iraq. That is unlikely for any armorer. All of the US Property marked M4s or M16s are being used or utilized by the military or national guard or given away to allied nations. All of our guns are lower receivers within the domestic chains of commerce, either pre-1986 transferable full auto lowers or post 86 dealer samples, none of which would be overseas or used by any government entity, whether military or law enforcement. Sometimes we "could" pick up a post 86 sample that was used by a non government entity (aka private party) like Blackwater Security in Iraq, but that's hypothetical and it hasn't happened. It's also funny that IMFDB tries to determine whether or not an M16 was the A2 or A3 variant. I don't know how some of the other rental houses get their stuff nowadays, but I would venture a guess that 95% of all the M4s or A4s are just commercially purchased barreled upper receivers, mounted on existing full auto A1 or A2 style lower receivers (built up and registered with ATF). I have rarely seen any 3 round burst guns in Movie armories, since no movie director ever uses it, so why spend the money on it. It's all smoke and mirrors and we build and rebuild guns all the time to make things look like the latest and greatest incarnation of the guns. I just converted a bunch of M16A1s into A4s for an film (spring 08) and then had to convert all of them BACK to A1 for a Vietnam movie. So most of the time it's a moot point. There are no distinctive A2s or A3s or C7s, or at least we can't tell from the rate of fire since most of the guns are "Build ups". All M16s in inventory go full auto or semi auto only. (that's as far as I've seen and I've handled and inspected literally one hundred movie M16/AR15 variants, including carbines, 9mms, fake XM177s, A1s, A2s, M4s, A4s). So I wonder, how do we reconcile the difference between the real world and the movie world? I think we should keep on doing as we are doing. Designate the difference between the A2s and A3s (etc) since that's correct in the real world and (whether intentional or not) that's what's being represented in the movies, but be aware that most of the guns are just dressed up A1s. Sorry for the longwinded post. Didn't mean to ramble. Have a happy new year [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:07, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
BTW, I'm tickled (again) that IMFDB is the only place on the net to have a pic of this gun. :) (edit)(BTW: I will photograph a C7 for the site soon just to complete the M16 series)

==Mossbergs==
I'm putting up more Mossberg variants, but only those that have appeared in films. I also have some of the wooden stocked 500s (like the ones in The Way of the Gun). Which mossbergs do you want? Let me know and I'll put them on the list, but I am actively photographing more Mossbergs for the page right now anyway. Thanks. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 22:29, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

I see what you wanted. Sure, you did fine. I thought you wanted me to cut out the 500 with heat shield on the comparison pic and replace it with the straight model, which would have taken more time. But you did great. You also cropped it just like I prefer it :) hahaha. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:40, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

==Scarface==
Do you still own Scarface? If you do, could you add a few extra shots? I recently have looked at Legions of Fate's page and it is a lot more filled out. Since a lot of people see that page, I think we kind of owe it to them to fill it out. Not that I'm forcing you to do it, just let me know if you do and you can. Thanks. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:Thanks, I've been putting off [[Mail Call]] for almost a month now. Just finally uploading the season one caps. Then I'm going to do season two, which is pretty low on guns. The SNAFU dvd (which is goofs) has a LOT of guns and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm also going to link a youtube page showing the episode where Gunny goes to knob creek. Look up "Mail Call Knob Creek" if you have 20 minutes free and watch the pure awesomeness. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Nothing pisses me off more when people delete screencaps I take from a page. I think they do it because some of the shots look similair enough that they feel they should be removed. That isn't their right to decide. The person did it on [[The Dark Knight]] with the modified Glock with the shots of the Joker loading up and the flashpaper gun when it fires (the muzzle flash was very hard to catch) and he did this with the Collateral page when I noted how he missed the third guy and the muzzle flash shot with the USP in the club. Apparently anonymous users don't understand how hard our work can be. If he deletes another image, I'm banning his ass. If he returns and continues to delete images, I'm going to hunt him down and kill him. It is my right as a screencapper and an administrator. :) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:Do anonymous users have a hate for my work? Apparently that guy thought my opinion was irrelavent for the site. I blocked the page for obvious reasons. I have half a mind to block him. I've always been adamant that anonymous users should not be able to edit. Like you said, at this rate that will eventually be the case. Thank god we have the ability to revert these asshole's changes. I for one can't believe he got rid of the whole faulty scope section and anything that sounded like an opinion. I was just listing goofs. What a douche bag. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==RE:==

Yeah, it annoyed me, too, mostly because it wasn't even that good a picture. Considering how much shit you can put on an M4 (just look at all the stuff that's included in SOPMOD), I would rather these users not set a precedent where anyone can upload a new picture of a gun we have simply because we don't have one with the ''exact'' same accessories setup as one in a particular movie. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

==DOD shotgun==
Still working on the Ghost ring gun, but I did manage to upload a surelight version that Ving Rhames used earlier in the film.

==M1-C==
It loads the same. The whole point of the scope being off to the left (not right), is so the clip can be loaded and ejected. Personally I hate left mounted scopes, it makes aiming akward and you usually end up using your none dominant eye. Hope I helped.

And after so long, I finally am getting shoot em up screencapped. I tried downloading VLC media to screencap it but it was too hard to use so I used my sister's 1200 dollar laptop. It screencaps higher quality so it will look great. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Your question to Gunmaster45 about the M1C==
Sorry in interject here. I'm sure GM will say the same thing, but the scope are offset on these sniper rifles. They mount to the shooter's left off from the center line of the rifle. So you can still load and unload Enblocs from the top of the rifle. Here is an example I shot for you ;)
[[Image:M1CScopeMount.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M1C Garand Sniper rifle Scope mount - note how the scope hangs over the side, casting a shadow on the left side of the rifle wood.]]

==Usable pic?==
I was tempted to reshoot this on a pintle mount so that I can get closer to the gun. Let me know if this format is preferable. I am still tempted to reshoot some of the Aircraft guns much closer so that we see more of the gun and less of the mount. I had to shoot it in the warehouse and digitally wipe out everything else with white (what a pain!) since I was alone and this sucker was TOO heavy to lift by myself! ;)

BTW: I need a photo wish list again, so please let me know which guns you really want to see a good pic of :) I will try to track them down for pics. :)

==Beretta M9==

''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.''

I'm not aware of any external differences, besides the fact that the M9 says "M9" instead of "92FS" on the slide. Actually, I take that back...I have seen at least one M9 that had the dot-bar sight instead of the three-dot sight. From what I read, this either is or was standard, but it's not exactly relevant because if MPM took a picture of an M9 from the side, you wouldn't be able to tell.

Anyway, the thing is...I can't imagine that there are any movies that use real military-issue M9s. I'm pretty sure all of the movies you see that have U.S. military personnel use the same Beretta 92FS (marked) pistols that are available to civilians. You already know that armorers are in the habit of dressing up M16A1s to look like A2s, or Browning M2s to look like DShKs, because they know the average moviegoer won't know the difference, so why would they go through the trouble of getting M9s just for the markings?

So if you ask me, it seems like a waste to have MPM photograph an M9. No movies use it, and there's just so much other stuff on his request list that I think this site needs ''way'' more than a picture of a Beretta M9. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:10, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Am going on location and meeting with a director and television executive for the standard business stuff, but I will be traveling between midnight tonight and Tuesday, so I will be offline until then.

==Thanks==
I'm back again. hahahaha. i guess I should have CC'd you on the pics updates to Gunmaster45 and MT2008. My bad. I mentioned to them that I wanted to be the one to 'do the honors' of updating the pages with my pics, but you beat me to it. :) Well, that's what I get for getting yanked out of town on an emergency film shoot for a week. I will be posting about 30 new pics soon and I will be trying to update as I go along. best regards. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:00, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

==Updates==
So what did you think of my last massive update? past the initial posting on the 'obvious pages' any other updates that are required, are appreciated. :) I spoke to the armorer of True Romance and made changes that he pointed out (and also photographed the GUNS). I was pretty thrilled when I got to photograph the original Beretta Pistols (though I will have to call the armorer and double check on the movie chronology and model type again) for the movies Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. I got the original Model 19 from Lethal Weapon (though I don't know if Danny Glover keeps it in any of the other movies (I stopped watching them after LW2 when I realized the director's incredibly anti gun views). I sure hope people don't mind that I replace some of their pics. I am also trying to replace LMO's movie gun pics where I can (since they belong to Dan Shea) and frankly, I think I take better pics of the guns ... ;) Did you get to check out the XXX movie guns? :) I replaced the 629 from both films with my own shot. I still have to double check the filmography of some of the guns. When I'm photographing the guns, we're literally pulling them out of the vault like crazy and photographing them and putting them back as quick as I can. As you can tell I had a TON of help from some pretty heavy hitters in the movie Armorer crowd and I think they like the way I take pics of their stuff. Anyway, if you want me to keep on going, let me know :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:28, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

==Thanks for the formatting advice!==
Works like a charm! I fixed the 5906 page and it works great! As per the Berettas, yes, they were in a museum glass case. I just asked 'Hey! Can I take these out and photograph them?" So I did. I was very careful and put them on a Rubbermaid clear box that I brought with me and snapped away. It was less than Ideal photographic settings, since it was NOT in a studio with all the white backgrounds and special lighting rigs. I had just one working portable light and had to make do with that. I did a LOT of photoshop after the fact to clean up the pics. That I was pretty surprised that they were that beat up, but they have been used a lot and were in films as of 1986 up to the early 1990s. Anyway, sorry for my long winded post previously. You responded to me before I could post my initial comments! :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:47, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

==Saturday Shoot --- more pics coming --- just a heads up==
cc:d' to MT2008, GM45, Alienqueen11
I'm heading to another armory to photograph some more long guns this Saturday if all goes as planned. (I'll get a new StG-44 amongst other cool stuff (like a SR-25, all tricked out, etc.) I've been photographing a lot of pistols recently. Since the last group of famous gun pics took an entire day to photograph and multiple days to 'clean up and format' (and put electronic Copyright tagging) on the images. I am also returning to Stembridge/CW to photograph a bunch of their more famous subguns/shortshotguns. I already have permission to photograph the actual McMillan TAC-50 used in S.W.A.T. As far as my own inventory, I still have to rebuild and fix some of MY guns still. I still have an M249 full stock gun that I need to photograph and a Walther MPL that needs fixing. And a bunch of Benelli M3 Super 90s in different configurations :) I want to work some more on the M16 page. If I can't get a real 733 (for example) I will try to build up an exact duplicate of one in the right configuration and then take a pic of it. Some of my older photos of M16 guns (like the 733) were build ups (i.e. just a standard gun with the barrel cut down, and not the exact configuration of the original gun type). I want exact examples of each one so that our M16 page is '''the''' definitive page of M16 types on the net. BTW: I have to go down to CW again and I will try to grab more "the Quick and the Dead" guns ... :) More handguns, especially Sharon Stone's SAA and Russell Crowe's gun (and original holster) and all the original screen used guns from 'Iron Man'. ;) I am also trying to get a ton of more famous screen used western guns for GM45's pages. (I let HIM do the honors on the Western movie pages ;) ) Just a heads up guys! :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:35, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

==Titles starting with 'The' ....==
I am willing to start mass changing titles that start with "The" to the standard nomenclature (used by IMDB) (i.e. instead of '''"The Shining"''' (yeah I know we don't have that movie ...) it would be '''"Shining, The"'''. I can't count how many people have complained to me (in person, not on the net) about that.

I have some famous armorers complaining about that ;) SO I am willing to start changing them myself. Any complaints? Seriously, if any of you are seriously offended by that, I will change them back.... no charge ;) But the last straw was some blog making fun of us because of that. :( So I am going to start changing the titles. Just wanted to give a heads up....

''('''edit:''' I've done nine titles as a test. So far, I like them, but I think MT2008 had a cool technique regarding re-directs which would allow the main page to have the fixed titles, but when you click on it, it goes to the original named page. Let me know what you think) :)''

Update on the new gun pics....
I started the new photo shoot on Say, but had to cut it short. Will reschedule and complete my massive new gun shoot either tomorrow or the next day. When I have a bunch, I start uploading them. :) But you guys are already bored with guns pics by now.[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:55, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

== Got A Project Idea For You ==

Think I found a movie that might be of interest for you to make a page for here; the 1997 sci-fi/horror film ''[[The Relic]]''. It features a monster terrorizing a Chicago museum and at one point a SWAT team is sent in to try to stop the creature and in another scene survivors try to escape the museum via the sewers and I believe at least one of them is armed with some kind of shotgun. Let me know what you think. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 03:04, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

==You might get a kick out of this==
Would YOU want a handgun collection like this? The pistols on the right side belong to Syd Stembridge (he still has some stuff), and the back wall and left wall belong to Mike Papac. (And yes, the boxes on the ground are full, there is no room on the walls left. All the empty slots are for handguns that are either out for repair or out on rental. My own handgun inventory is less than half of theirs, so I'm a small fry compared to these guys. But I thought you'd get a kick out of this pic. A similar pic has been seen in articles in the past about Stembridge Gun Rentals, so it's nice to see that this room still exists, though I need a bigger wide angle lens, I can't get back far enough to even get a fraction of the room. It is massive.

==Imagine if you will.......==
Walking down a hallway in a warehouse, from floor to ceiling are wooden cubbyholes, in these cubby holes are jammed multiple items which comprise three specific things (either submachine gun, select fire pistol, or short barreled shotgun). I am not sure how these items are sorted but I don't care, I like it! I LOVE poking around places like this. It make me happy :) I also see some items which I will try to photograph for IMFDB in the future (recognizing some of the stuff that I have on my list to take pics of for some of the specific movie pages). I just needed to cheer myself up after hearing daily news from the new administration! Just thought I'd share it! :)

==Regarding message "Re: Imagine if you will......." on MPM's talk page==
The "green-looking Beretta" is a Taurus PT92 stunt gun from what I see. They typically use these for training people in gun handling who can't be trusted or for teaching disarming techniques when the gun needs to be dropped. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==You so owe me ;) ==
It was difficult to do the gun, but I said I would and I did. Mossberg and Remington parts are NOT easily interchangeable so I am mystified as to why the armorer for Dawn of the Dead did this franken-gun in the first place?

==Dawn of the Dead shotgun==
IMFDB member '''[[User:yournamehere|Yournamehere]]''' was right about the shotgun. He pointed out that it has an aftermarket extension tube, rather than the Stock remington one, and the tube clamp is set further back on the gun. I have one of those aftermarket extended tubes (easily swappable) and the tube clamp is easily moveable. I can swap out the aftermarket tube, put the shotgun back on the photography stand and rephotograph it. Argggh. More work for me, but I am glad IMFDB user's eagle eyes caught that, since I was building a gun based on screenshots. I will try to install that stuff and reshoot the gun tonight. MPM2008 Remember, if it ain't 100% then it ain't worth doing ;)

==Taking no more gun pics==
apparently it is becoming more acceptable for others to create 'frankengun' photoshop jobs out of my original pics and not even give credit. Heck. I would give credit to the previously Google jacked shots that I clean up with recropping, or color correcting if I knew who the original photographer was. But that's a minor point. My intent all along was to replace all jacked images with official licensed images. It's a lot of hard work and only a very few (like you) even seem to appreciate it. (plus you're way more tolerant of the inevitable flood of conflicting page styles and info from new (and some anonymous) users ... inevitable as the site gets more recognition). I'm on hiatus for taking pics of guns for a bit. Working hard for IMFDB should be enjoyable, not irritating. :( A break is good thing. MPM

==Re: Jacked images==

Oh, and look who it is that's been doing it, too...our good friend [[User:Cutaway|Cutaway]]. I've warned him about a whole bunch of things before (not the least of which includes uploading insane amounts of images we don't need).

==THANKS! for the note of support==
It was appreciated. Well I am back from a pretty tough assignment (over a week of 14 hour days and nothing but grief) Regarding the break, I actually didn't know WHO did WHAT on the so called franken guns. I was not really paying attention for months to the M16 page and only concentrated on the AP74 22 clones at the bottom. I didn't even know that some guy (Kin93) out of Hong Kong had made so many franken guns out of my pics. But after a really BAD week (which I will go into on a general note later) I scanned up on the M16 page and saw literally a BUNCH of Franken M16 pics. I thought "WTF?!!" It wasn't so bad, in just it was just the topper of a really bad week (where someone in the real world took a custom shotgun I built, replaced the buttstock, and then showed it off to various art directors as a gun 'HE' built even though I did 99.99% of the work). So it was kinda just the straw that bent (not broke! :) ) the Camel's back for that time. I KNEW I had to take a break, and I sure felt better when I put a stop to the 'picture requests'. like a weight was taken off my back. (Also I was getting a little TOO wound up over the wave of new anonymous/newbie users whose gun knowledge is only airsoft/Video Games making wrong edits on all the pages. hahahaha. It was bound to happen and is the risk we all take on an open wiki page. Anyway THANKS for the note. I am now motivated to photograph real versions of the Franken guns, also so that we (IMFDB) don't get accused of 'creating virtual/fictional weapons' on the Internet.) Hope you've been doing well. best regards MPM

While I do agree that this is a weapon, this is the Internet Movie ''FIREARMS'' Database. Molotovs don't qualify. Sorry.

==Image rewrites==
Well I am against re-uploads for several reasons. I put on an electronic tag (i.e. an electronic watermark) but only recently. I am concerned that some of the images are right click 'saved' and when they are reloaded, the older 'saved' image overwrites the version with the newer electronic (copyright IMFDB) info that was invisible and only viewable through special software. Just a thought, since I don't have them on all my pics and I haven't gone through and redone all the old pics. Other than that issue, it's just stupid unless they want to somehow take credit for the pic (which seems to be a temptation for some members of IMFDB). MPM2008

== k98k better than the smle? ==

ok I won't edit anymore. what do you think about what I said?

if you study it ,you will find that the Mauser is better than the Lee Enfield.

==Finally replaced some of the old images==
[[Image:Jerich941-Two-Tone01.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Two tone Jericho 941. All of our Jericho (original pics) are of the original 941. I don't have any of the 941FS, which seems to be the model which is used whenever they have two toned Jericho pistols - the FS has the decocker on the frame, not the slide. I'll check around to see if anyone has a 941FS model.]]

==Redirecting==
Go to "Move" at the top of the page. It is WAY easier than making a new page and writing "#REDIRECT" and then linking it, which I'm assuming is what you do? BTW, glad to see you making pages, I haven't seen your work in a while. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:Thanks, I hope you do upload some new shots for "I Am Legend". Bunni's caps on the page are too small IMO and some of the shots are jacked from Legions of Fate's site, which isn't cool. CTone has the right to be pissed if he finds his images on here. BTW, I linked The Hills Have Eyes so if someone searches it with the "THE" first it will redirect there. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::I usually only replace shots when they are low res or really small. In I Am Legend's case, I see the caps as kind of being both. So I'd recommend you replace them. Besides, it is easier to screencap a movie if you take every cap necessary and never think "Oh, that one's already on the site", because then it is easier to miss things. And CTone does a great job on his site, although he doesn't always capture every gun in the movie as the users on IMFDB do. He's better for commentary, which I find quite insightful. I look forward to seeing IAL. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:::It's cool that you're doing new shots, but...how did you miss that really good close-up of the Mark 23's handle when it's sitting in the door of his SUV? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

::::Yeah, it's just my opinion, but I figure that's pretty much the best shot of the gun in the whole movie. I remember people on HKPRO used to argue over whether the gun was a USP or a Mark 23 before someone posted that exact shot from the DVD.

::::Also, just an FYI...the civilian Mark 23 isn't called the "SOCOM"; it's just called the Mark 23. You can see the picture of the gun we have, it just says "HK Mark 23" on the slide. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::Not to be a pain, but do you think you could grab just TWO more shots from I Am Legend? We have images showing how it is equiped with a TA31F ACOG and a Pentagon light, do you think you could snap a shot of the false reticule and when he uses the light in the dark house so those sections can be filled out? I'd do it myself but I don't own the film, I just rented it one time. Thanks. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==WTF?==
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Beretta_M92_%22Samurai_Edge%22
This is a dedicated gun page to a firearm that belongs to the Resident Evil VG universe only. Do you think this gun deserves a separate page? Being that it is a weapon that only exists in either airsoft or the VG series Resident Evil and is based on the 92FS or Elite alreadY? Your thoughts are appreciated. MPM2008

==Thanks==
I had no idea that this guy plagiarized the entire page from another site. Yep, that's a sure fire DELETE in my book. Thanks so much for the input. MPM2008

==Thanks==
Thanks you for the compliment! I didn't like the older Taurus images. That low resolution Stainless model pic bugged me for a long time. Also movies change the components so now that I have the guns (or easy access to them) I can swap out items to make the gun look identical to the movie versions. It's nice to know that folks notice ;) BTW: do you think we're spoiled regarding gun pics. I remember the bad old days when we had so many jacked AIRSOFT images! ugh! LOL.

I could have sworn that someone, someplace requested that I photograph a Mossberg 590 shotgun (parkerized version) with a 500AT wooden furniture for some movie '''but I can't remember now what it was for'''. Well, here it is! :) I actually bought the AT wood to put on one of my 590s for the pic so I sure hope that a movie used this configuration somewhere :) best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:26, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

==Thanks so much!==
Yes, now I remember! Wow, I even made contributions to that page, but I forgot all about it and was searching through my requests to see who asked for a 590 in that configuration. Argghhh. I must be dyslexic or something! Those weren't AT stocks, but 500C stocks. I made the change to the Dead Presidents page to reflect that. AT has the vertical riot grooves. Sometimes my brain just doesn't work! Thanks again! You are too kind re: the photography compliment.[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

==Calico Weapons page==
Well I've been busy, photographing every Calico Variant I can think of (or that is available to me). The Calicos are probably the least photographed weapon on the Internet and a lot of the web based information pages on the Calico are either wrong or lame. IMFDB will soon be the only place where a lot of these variants are seen (well at least via a cursory Google search). Tell me what you think of the page and if you see a Calico on a movie page that is NOT listed, I would appreciate the help! :) best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:02, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

==Any old gun page will do!==
Cutaway is not the only one doing it. New members are starting to post gun pages on whatever gun they think is cool, regardless of whether they appeared in anything or not. I'm tempted to start giving them a deadline to list a film, television show, anime, VG in which this firearm appears ..... or else I am DELETING their page. I am also tempted to delete the pages (not the images but just the page) of those bizarre Cutaway experimental guns that don't appear in anything (Like the Siamese Tromix which is a ONE OFF experimental gun from some custom gun maker in the SouthEastern U.S.). to be fair I will also have to DELETE my own Browning Pro-9 page, since I don't think it has appeared in anything yet, even though the images are of blank adapted guns in active armorer inventory. Should I keep pages for guns that are (a) blank adapted and (b) already in active rental inventory of SOME armory? The chances of them appearing in a future project is far greater than these obscure foreign or experimental guns. I look forward to your opinion on this.

Unfortunately it is a detailed copy of the pistol, made by a gunsmith fan of the movie built up from a 357 DE. It is a live firing pistol and adapted for hollywood blanks. Since i KNOW it is not a screen used pistol from Red Heat, but it may be a screen used pistol for [[V.I.P.]], should I remove it? I took a pic of it because it was 99% accurate (everything but the trigger guard) and I believed it to be the best pic of the Podbyrin on the net.

==Honoring Actors who have passed away==
Since the news of David Carradine's death :( I was cruising around IMFDB and I noticed a nice touch to Charlton Heston's page. Someone put a photo of him, not a screenshot, in which it simply stated, "Charlton Heston: 1923 - 2008" I wanted to do something similar to Brandon Lee's page (1965-1993) :( , but I also thought that it would be nice (but completely optional) to put a DOB-DOD listing on actors who have passed away. I was going to do one for PhoenixEnt's page for Morris Ankrum the actor, I was going to put (1896-1964) but I figured I would check first. Also I thought it would be nice to know which of our famous actors have passed on. Thoughts anyone? I'm not going to do any sort of mass campaign to do so, but to know that no one else has objections would be nice. :) MPM2008

==Gran Torino==
I'm getting it for my birthday on the 27th of this month so I'll try to get it done by that time. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==template==
Thanks but PhoenixEnt designed the original template. I am just playing around with it to try to see what format seems best, and boy is it hard. I sure hope we all agree on something :) Thanks for the note, though. I am hoping my suggestions for the final version of the template will be instituted or something close, but I think the MODS should try to agree on something that we all think will suit the different pages well. Thanks. MPM2008

:Hey, Thanks for the good word. I am just part of the group that was thinking a little outside the IMFDB box. The template will be a great addition to IMFDB looks once it is all ratified between the Admins on the layout of the columns. -[[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

==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]]

==Template==
Thanks for the note. To the mods: Though my own preference is strongly towards chronological order, I can accede to the wishes of the majority. I do like the format of Title First, before actor. Please note all, in the [[Steyr AUG]] page that the title, then character, then actor template, dovetails nicely into the other genres (television) but also Anime and Video games. Since there is no Character in some and no Actor in Anime or Videgame, I think this order maintains the same look from Film all the way down to VG. Thanks and please look at the page to see what I was referring to. Thanks again. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:27, 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]]

==True Lies==
I've seen your [[True Lies]] page on the site for a very long time and you did an excellent job with it. It's one of my all time favorite movies. But I noticed both your DVD and mine put out some low-res squish images that look like some bizzare widescreen. I was wondering if I could re-do the page with specially treated images? I tried it with a shot of Arnie firing his Ruger P90 and it looks a little better:
[[Image:TrueLiesRugerP90test.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Granted the image isn't blu-ray quality, but it looks better right?]]
Let me know. It seems like I've been re-doing a lot of other people's old pages lately, mainly because I saved these movies on my list for last. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==the Hills have Eyes redirect==
I think it needs to be fixed. The part Category:Movie should be removed '''prior''' to the redirect and then amended later. After redirect we can put the Category":Movie part. Now the system thinks that there are two movies, one called "'''The''' Hills Have Eyes" sorted in the "T" section and "'''Hills''' Have Eyes, The" in the "H" Section. And I can't remove the Category:Movie part from the original redirected page. the other redirects were done like this. Can you fix it? I can't figure out how to fix it. Thanks [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

==Hills have eyes==
Thanks. I just noted it to you because I didnt' want to delete if you created it. The only way, it appears, to clear a ((category:Movie)) code from a redirected page is to delete it and create it from scratch. I've found that the re-directed page must be blank or uncategorized lest the blank page show up in the alphabetical listing. This was done several times intentionally with titles like Raiders of the lost ark, where someone input 'indiana jones and the raiders of the lost ark' so that it grouped in with all of the other films and yet re-directed correctly to 'raiders of the lost ark' as well as having an entry in the 'r' section as well. :) Thanks. I've been pretty busy so I've not been that active on IMFDB recently. Hope everything is still going well :) best regards MPM2008

==Alien vs. Predator: Requiem==

I did a bit of a re-vamp on the [[Alien vs. Predator: Requiem|AvP:R]] page. Nothing personal; just thought it would be better to post some improved screencaps with the correct aspect ratio, which is about 2.25:1 (instead of the 2:1 that yours had, which makes them look crushed horizontally). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:50, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

:Nah, I'm still using VLC Media Player. However, there's a setting on VLC that allows you to change the Prefix of the screencaps when they're sent to your "My Pictures" folder, so that they won't all have "vlcsnap" on them. Because I've taken so many screencaps for this site, and because there's only a finite number of 5-digit numbers, I started to have issues with screencaps having the same File Name when I uploaded them. Better to ditch the "vlcsnap" prefix and get one that's movie-specific.

:Most of the screencaps on pages you've worked on look a bit "crushed" horizontally. It's most likely because your media player (whatever you use) has the aspect ratio set too low. The previous AvPR images you uploaded had an aspect ratio of 2:1. A better ratio is about 2.2:1 or 2.3:1, depending on what your player allows. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

==Template Layout==
Hi Everyone, Now that I am back let's talk about the page layout template. On the forum we had one item brought up about the chronological order being reversed. Also another item was brought up about putting lies or boxing in the information. As admin it is up to us to police the site and make a decision that is agreed upon by the majority of admins and then implemented. Let's all go back to the [[Talk:Test Template Page]] and nail these last issues down. As we talk about it pages have been created and might need to be corrected so there is a standard look to all the gun and actor pages. Thanks for you input and help on the. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

==Re:Announcement 1==
The sporterized version has double set triggers used to lighten the trigger pull to make shots more accurate.

Info on sporterized version :After the World War I, the Treaty of Versailles left Germany extremely constricted in terms of military power. Civilians were not allowed to have any use of standard military weapons or ammunition. Since the 8 x 57 IS round was so stout and great for hunting, people did not want to give up on it, so a redesign of the cartridge was made for the civilian market and the 8 x 60 S accommodate the new longer case.

The also rare 8 x 64 S cartridge offers a comparable rechambering option for Mauser Gewehr 98 and Karabiner 98k rifles sporting 8 mm S-bores. Due to its larger case capacity the 8 x 64 S chambering offers better ballistic performance than the 8 x 60 S. Some custom rifles were made using Mauser 98's and rechambering them for the 9 x 57 Mauser.

Since the purpose for these rifles was hunting and sporting, the bolt was professionally bent down, gradually the bent bolt became the standard and replaced the older straight bolt (though that was of course not always the case). The standard military sights were replaced by a 100 m sight, along with a flip-up on the rear sight for 200 m. The military stocks were replaced by newer ones that did not include the extra piece of stock for the bayonet lug.

Today these sporter rifles are extremely rare and the 8 x 60 and 8 x 60 S, 8 x 64 and 8 x 64 S and 9 x 57 Mauser cartridges are nearly obsolete, as only few mainstream ammunition manufacturers along with some other smaller companies continue to produce them. When correct ammunition is used in a converted rifle, a 8 x 60 (S), 8 x 64 (S) or 9 x 57 Mauser modified Gewehr 98 can be an extremely potent and inexpensive long-range big-game rifle.

Also, many Gewehr 98 rifles acquired as trophies by Allied forces during the war and brought to the US were converted to the 8mm-06 wildcat cartridge, a modification of the original 8 x 57 IS chambering to 8 x 63 S to accommodate the use of common and inexpensive surplus .30-06 Springfield cartridges, with their 7.62 mm (.30 caliber) bullets replaced by 8 mm (.323 caliber) bullets. Such conversions are indistinguishable from unmodified rifle without careful examination, and can be quite dangerous if fired with the shorter 8 x 57 mm ammunition, as the cartridge case will stretch to fit the elongated chamber and possibly rupture in the process, spraying the shooter with leaked propellant gas. However, the Mauser 98 action is designed specifically to direct gas away from the shooter in the event of a case rupture. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 03:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

==(here is a note I've been posting around IMFDB)==
''I recently had the unpleasant experience of having some of the performers being insulted in some of our movie pages see what some of the IMFDB members write. there are some pretty condescending remarks regarding horrible grips, gun stance, bad gun discipline and blinking while shooting. I'm trying to promote the website and it's embarrassing to see actors getting insulted for pretty trivial reasons. What are your thoughts regarding this?

See below:''

'''I'm asking all members to stop with the sarcastic comments in the screencap descriptions'''
Too many members feel it's funny to be extremely sarcastic about actor's shooting stance, their blinking, their pistol grips. Only if it's so over the top as for the average person to notice, then don't keep on harping on it. Most actors are given only a bare amount of time to train, if at all. Many times the editor picks the worst take for pistol grip, but best take for other reasons like acting. Also much of the blame falls on the director. Some directors don't want to be bothered trying to train the actors and don't allow us armorers to even give them more training than the minimum safety training. People in the industry check out this website, and some think we're a bunch of obnoxious kids. I am not happy when people in 'the biz' look at the site and scoff at the snarky remarks. Some of them are the actual actors being insulted. We can always put in criticism, but IMFDB members going forward going to criticize a film, should try to do so in a scholarly manner or not at all.

So FYI MPM's images aren't lost, the revert function just isn't working for some reason - I'll have my network admins take a look. [[User:WikiSysop|WikiSysop]] 00:11, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

:Looks like you figured out my workaround for the moment. The network admins are working on tracking down the bug, it may have been caused by the recent server move. The network admins username is Unixy, you may see them playing with images - reverting and uploading - don't ban them! They're just testing it out. Thanks much! [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 01:29, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

::Man, it's too bad that loser came back and screwed with the images. When we banned him the first time, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he just had troubles with English or something, but now it's clear that he is an out-and-out vandal. Sucks what happened. Anything I can do? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:51, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

:::I still see the image he uploaded. I think it's another bug. Like Chris said, the server probably just has glitches. Earlier today, I tried to delete some pictures that someone uploaded unnecessarily, and I couldn't for some reason. Hopefully, the server team can get the glitches ironed out. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:32, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

==Thanks for your actions==
I was perusing the recent history and it looked like ALL hell had broken loose! I first thought that the server had crashed since multiple people were uploading what looked like my old files :) WTF happened? I guess now everything is back to normal, i presume. I think that the system is okay, since I saw the Blaser 93 on my page when I logged in and it looked okay. My own internet speed has been really SLOW today. I try to come in early today but it timed out several times. So I gave up and came back later. I guess that was a good thing. Whatever chaos happened, is gone now. Thanks for protecting my images. Now I have no problems with obviously superior pics being uploaded (I mean *I* do that to other pics, but I usually only overwrite crappy and obviously jacked images). Thanks..........so what else is new? ;) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:36, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

==What's going on with the site??!?!?!==
My IP address was blocked "indefinitely" for ''"Spamming to external links"'' WTF? Uh, that's not me. But I can log in and edit, but the first error message was just plain weird. It said to contact Alienqueen1 for information. Is the server acting really weird and mixing and matching errors and profiles around? Also I'm getting 503 error message more often than not. I figure something weird is going on, but I sure hope the system doesn't mix everything around and I end up getting banned because it thinks I'm someone else.

==Huh?==
Yep that's me. but No one uses my machine, it's locked up near the GUNS ;) and I would NEVER put Russian language gibberish on any page. Holy cow, can a Russian douchebag steal my IP address? I actually think the screwed up servers mistakenly logged MY IP address when this Russian vandal posted on the Main page. It all leads back to the servers.... The servers..... are evil.....

=='''Okay now that's weird'''==
(a) the changes on the Psych page were NOT me, however, MY IP address is seen on the history page. His changes weren't that bad. (b) the changes on the M1911 page AGAIN were NOT me. I would not put Dillinger's machine pistol M1911 on the page because it is a one off and like the Custom Remington 870 on Dawn of the Dead, should not clutter the M1911 page, except as a footnote. You are right. The anonymous user is using the same IP address as me and it is NOT ME. I always LOG in as MPM2008 when I edit now. I never edit while anonymous. That is weird....

Alright, if you don't mind doing it. But as of my current count, there are 57 pages where the image needs to be replaced. Also be sure to delete the old one once you're through.

==Thanks for your help==
On replacing the Glock 19 2nd Gen pics. I did that exactly why you thought I did. I wanted the file to be named Glock19 2nd Gen, not WViewpoint.jpg which made no sense, but it was the name of the original jacked image that I cleaned up per MT's request. Hope you like the new screen used gun updates. It's a ton of work but I"m still working on getting IMFDB the best pics of screen used weapons :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:07, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

==Where should I put this?==
People should realize that any film done after 1989 could have a Poly Tech Legend AK since it was the most accurate commercial copy of the original AK-47 milled receiver open front sight guns, other than using real AK-47 kits that became available after 1991 and making Domestic milled AK receivers (like they did for [[We Were Soldiers]]. Only films done outside the U.S. could get AK47s and after the fall of the wall in 1989-1990 Russia didn't export real AKs to the U.S. however their parts kits got here.
[[Image:AK47-PolyTechLegend.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Poly Tech Legend Series AK-47 Rifle - 7.62x39mm]]
Should I make a new section for it? or put it in the AK47 section? Either way a ton of work needs to be done on the AK47 page. I got a line on more original AK pics and also the "custom built" AKs like the ones in [[We Were Soldiers]].

::Um, I've seen veteran members, even one mod, get hostile or sarcastic in their comments. Depending on the circumstance, people sometimes get 'punchy'.

==You won't believe this==
Score! I've been holding off uploading these because I'm still waiting on an image for the [[Heartbreak Ridge]] page (their weapons are set up slightly differently) so I hope people will wait to update that page until I can get a good image for that page.

===Say Hello to My Little Friend!!!===
[[Scarface]] fans will crap in their pants. Got the ACTUAL '''screen used''' LITTLE FRIEND. Now I used black gaffers tape and taped two 30 round magazines together as best I could (to try to match the screenshots). Do you think that was smart? or should I just present it with a plain magazine? Anyway, I did that because I wanted people to see it as it was most seen in the movie (Wow that launcher is beat up, it's been 25 years after all since the movie was filmed!!!!) It is also the old launchers that were used before the Cobray 37mm launchers became prevalent.

===Screen used Zabala Shotgun===
This IS the gun used by 'The Skull' [[Gino Silva]] to blast Tony Montana in the movie. I also included a closeup shot of the top of the gun to show the markings.

===RUN! GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!!===
Recognize this lovely? I've been waiting to get pics for the [[Predator]] page for a while. So many weapons have either been sold off or taken apart and reconfigured for other movies.

'''IMFDB is the only place in the WORLD, now that has these images. How cool is that?''' :) I got some screen used muskets from Last of the Mohicans (from private collections), which is interesting since I usually don't get many pre 1848 weapons.

Thanks for deleting those jacked images. I thought [[User:Nyles|Nyles]] owned those when he uploaded them. I think I cleaned up one, but again, I am not sure, but for some reason I thought he did not jack them. Oh well. Of all folks on IMFDB, I think I hate jacked images the most.

:Also impersonating a Mod merits a stern warning.

Good to see you doin' the Mod thang again! :) Thought I was out there all alone! ;) I was tracking this 'guy' and realized that nearly all of his 'contributions to IMFDB' were things like this:
:''-Who pissed in your goddam cornflakes this morning??? Give the kid a break, he's having a little fun. So shut the fuck up unless you have something constructive to say, got it?''[[User:StrikerDelta|StrikerDelta]]
:''-I don't like your tone, so stow it! He was just trying to help you, so swallow your goddamn attitude!''[[User:StrikerDelta|StrikerDelta]]
:''-Yeah... this jackass doesn't know dick about firearms. Fucking moron.'' [[User:StrikerDelta|StrikerDelta]]
:''-Learn to fucking spell, asshole''[[User:StrikerDelta|StrikerDelta]]

It's like an angrier Oliviera without any of the actual contributions. LOL! So I hope you agree with my stern initial warning. So far it's just bad judgment versus actual intentional vandalism, but deleting sections of pages makes the Mods watch him very carefully. :)

Anyway, it's good to see you out there smacking down the attitudes on IMFDB again. :D regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:09, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

::I'm back for a few hours. I have Internet access but I'm not on my own computer so I can't upload any pics for now. Watch out for this Striker Delta. His IP address is 60.241.135.241 so he also does anonymous contributions under that as well. I noticed a few minutes ago that he is back to deleting whole sections of discussion sections. Now, those sections were kinda dumb anyway (one of them was the argument on the M16 page about full auto versus semi auto), but Mods should be the ones to delete sections, not some noob. It is not for a new guy to determine what is relevant in a discussion section, IMHO, not having had the experience of knowing what is relevant over a long time. Also he tends to delete QUESTIONS posed by other new members on discussion pages, some of which I think we should see so that we can address them. I can't monitor his activity being that I'm working 16 hour days this month, but I hope you can keep an eye on him. thanks.

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.

Okay. I was SNOOKERED. Apparently this member LIAM who is [[User:moviemaster1993|moviemaster1993]] is a fanboy who created the facebook page himself, even though the page says the "OFFICIAL" transformers 3 facebook page, thus falsely implying that it is sanctioned by the studio. NOT being a sanctioned facebook page, immediately makes it suspect in my eyes and I vote for deletion. These behind the scenes photos were not released by the studio. They were personally taken by people on set and 'leaked'. The only reason why I did not ban it immediately was because I thought it was an officially facebook sanctioned page. ''' It is not.''' We can get into serious trouble if studio lawyers all of a sudden get pissed at IMFDB and start sending us 'cease and desist' letters to 'remove' all of our screencaps. That would spell the END Of IMFDB. All because of one fanboy idiot. But I wonder what you think about the matter "No Harm done?" or "delete" ?

==The perpetrator==
of stealing IMFDB gun images and loading them onto the Zombiepedia site is User:MattyDienhoff [http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/User:MattyDienhoff].

Thanks so much for looking into this. Actually my copyright is a hidden metafile within the image. If you open it in Photoshop and pull down the menu "File Info" my copyright information is all embedded there. But a long time ago, GM45 thought that I should put a small visible watermark on the image to mark it as IMFDB's only. I thought this destroyed the image, but now I'm beginning to reconsider it :) What are your thoughts? [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:55, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi its Banukis517, I was hoping if there would be a picture of the Real Sig Sauer P220 in heat used By Robert De Niro. Than just having to only see the real Colt Officer ACP pistol used Al Pacino. If you can find any link or resource that would have the real picture of the Sig Sauer that Robert De Niro used like on screen used. That Will be huge thing for me. Thanks, Banukis.

Yes, I've been pretty busy. Some good. some bad. It's good to see some of the old timers (aka Mods hahaha) on the site. Sometimes I pop in from time to time, usually just to see what is up and it's kinda strange seeing all these new members whom I don't know. I tend to get nervous when I see tons of newbies making tons of changes, but I suppose we have a pretty good supply of not only Mods but Veteran members who try to police all that stuff. :) I just need to get motivated (and have the time) to set up the lighting and haul all those weapons out of armory to photograph them. Thanks, I like the new IMFDB logo on the lower right hand side.

Also, what is the status of the Transformers 3 images Liam uploaded? His Facebook gallery was gone when I checked a week ago, possibly because of copyright reasons, something else, or maybe Liam moved/concealed them into his Movie Weapon Wiki to possibly avoid copyright holders, considering that his wiki is not well-known. I am not sure whether the images are considered legal or not. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 22:55, 8 September 2011 (CDT)
:Yes, the ones that MoviePropMaster2008 hid in an old revision of the Transformers 3 page. I already talked to MPM2008 about this and expected a reply from him if he can. Maybe asking the admins before asking MPM? I have no other idea what to do as I am just an ordinary user. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 23:11, 8 September 2011 (CDT)

Yes, I was toying with you due to what I was expected you to do, so don't take it seriously. As for MoviePropMaster, we're not going to like everyone we meet, no one is saying you have to like him, but bashing him on this site will only ensure everyone including me defends him, and you won't win that argument. I understand if you really are sorry, but I doubt many users on this site are going to accept your apology and trust you for the past reasons. So the best thing you can do right now is just move on with your life, and leave this site alone. I won't block you right now, but if you do anything, you'll be gone again.

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.

::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)

==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)

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)

==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*

==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)

==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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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)

==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.

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)

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.

: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)

==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.

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)

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.

:Matt and Jcordell are both okay with an Archer page. MPM still has to be convinced. Also I was talking to Milkovich about breaking up Stargate SG-1 into seasons. What are your thoughts?

== RE. Screencapping ==

Well, as ''you'' once suggested, I'm using VLC player to screencap. I don't do much with them, I just cap them as jpgs and upload them. BTW, I've been meaning to ask, how do you/what do you do to tweak/edit your caps? Or do you do anything to them at all? 'Cause my caps are sometimes darker than average, and I don't know what to use to solve the problem...

==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

== Are you going to tackle Magnum P.I.? ==
I've been playing with the idea of renting all the seasons from Netflix and screencapping, but then I lie down and it passes. Are you feeling brave? --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 00:43, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

==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)

==Um, why are you deleting redirects?==
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)

::Thanks, we can't keep a 'dummy page' for every possible incarnation of a spelling of a title.

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)

But I take it from the change to Shinji Mikami that Category:Director is only for movie directors? The guy does have director credits on IMDB. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 01:34, 14 June 2011 (CDT)

:Oh, I just figured since he was credited as director or producer for all of the games listed that was enough to put him in category: director. Could we have a category: game director or something for people like this? I can think of Hideki Kamiya as another example of a guy who has multiple director credits for games we have articles for (three ''Resident Evil'' games and ''Devil May Cry''). [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 01:49, 14 June 2011 (CDT)

::Really? I'd just see it as a way to tie together a group of creators. Granted there's no point doing it ''now'' since AFAIK there's only one game director with his own category, but if we had several it would make sense to have a category to put them all in so they're not just floating around on nothing.

:The page as it is now lacks many of the best and clearest views of the weapons.

Okay, will do. Good job. Unfortunately I lost the DVD, never found it, and was never able to finish it.

Thanks for adding the extras screen on Robo 3 (Which I know is like, two), heh. Also good job on categorizing too.

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.

==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)

== 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.

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.

== 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)

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.

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.

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).

== 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)

==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.

== Re: Heat ==

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:

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)

== J.C. Higgins ==
If Sears Robuck was the company that sold the various models (despite who made them) and just changed the name of the model to reflect the changing times then I say go with Sears & Robuck. The way I see it it's no different then all the 38 caliber K frame revolvers S&W used to make. Despite all the different model numbers S&W still comes first when naming them. So why not Sears? You probably know this, but Ted Williams was one of the first big name ball players to get an endorsement deal. Sears even had fitness equipment with his name on it. When I was in 6th grade (1979-1980) I had (still have parts of it now) a weight set with his name on it. Funny. Wonder how much hunting and shooting Ted actually did? Anyway I say yes. It will reduce the confusion and clutter if we group all those different shotguns under Sears & Robuck.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 15:01, 21 July 2011 (CDT)

==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]]''?

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

==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.

: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-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==
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.

== 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:

==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.
[[Image:SC92FS-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Note how it has reverse tutone rather than the typical factory style.]]

Thanks -GM45

==Re: Reign of Fire==
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.

Hey MPM2008, I heard you were sick so I wanted to stop by and say get well soon.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 20:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

==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)

==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)

:: 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.

:::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 was not asking for a blanket-release of your work into the public domain or any such thing, just a few individual photographs of authentic and obscure and unmodified firearms, i.e. the CETME Ameli, FG42.

:::::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)

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

Same film different subject. Do you know who mounted the Shotgun under Billy's Rifle. It looks like a Ciener Ultimate only it uses a Mossberg 500 and it's several years before Jane's says such systems came out. [[User:Rockwolf66|Rockwolf66]] 08:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

==Hollow Point==
[[Image:Type84HybridRifle.jpg]]

Thanks for the Type 84S specific to the [[Hollow Point]] page. I really apprieciate it. Was the gun actually used in the movie or do you mean it is made to look the same? -GM

==The Mask==
I have it on my list, so I'll get it done eventually. -GM

Alienqueen11 here, sorry if I got in the way when you were uploading gun images when I was uploading those Resident Evil screenshots. --[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 00:38, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

==Thanks for the new guns==

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.

:Also, I appreciate the ID on Grange's shotgun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:13, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

==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:

[[Image:HostageBerettatutone-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|]]

Thanks in advance.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 01:42, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

That's an awesome shot as always, aAnd you're right that has to be the best shot of the gun on the entire internet. I like it the way it is, and excellent work on your most recent images too, I really like the M16A4. Also, are you still considering the Wikipedia user's offer?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 01:53, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

==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)

==Remington 870==
Closest thing I can find is this bird gun in [[The Unit]].
[[Image:Unit-Mack'sshotty2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]

: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
==Re:Morita==
Thanks, I'm feeling a little better. I was filling out some of the fictional firearms pages and I figured of all of them, you'd like the Morita page since I remembered you said you owned one. I deleted my page because yours came out better than mine. You know more about the movie any way, I have yet to see it fully and last time I saw it was too long ago to remember. -GM
:Nice SMLE pic! And I forgot to mention, the Colt Navy is beautiful. -GM

==Bankok Dangerous==
You made the page look much better now. Your shots are ''far'' clearer than mine. Thanks. -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)

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.

==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)

==Thompson==
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]]

== 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.

==Re:Predator==
Thanks, it wasn't on my list but I saw the page was incomplete so I made time for it. Sorry I edited your pictures, but it looks better than an empty spot for now.

Also, excellent job with the Uzi pic, it looks great. I too never liked that Uzi pic before. I just finished screencapping [[Unforgiven]] so be sure to check that out. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==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 ==

Could you replace the pictures of the H&K USP .45 and the H&K MK23 with better images. Thanks.

==Type 84 Target/Match==

So you finally got to take pictures of them. Nice! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:19, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

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. But nice job. And Happy New Year! Thanks for the wonderful gifts you have given us! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:33, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

==Rambo==
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. How did you get your hands on this thing? Whatever...nice job, and thanks for the awesome pic. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:57, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== 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)

==The PT92C==

==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. I think the page used to have the USPc simply because it appears on the DVD cover, before I screencapped it and generally gave it a huge overhaul. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

==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)

Could i replace them?[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 20:28, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

==Screencaps==
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]]

== 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.

==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)

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)

::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.

Thanks for the new 870, It looks amazing. Even the color of the stock and pump match the gun in the movie, excellent work.

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)

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-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]]

Outstanding work with the SOCOM pistols! How did you come across a REAL knight's arament suppressor? You've really outdone yourself this time! Keep up the good work. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==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)

==re:==

''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'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]]

==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]]

Hey, MPM, could you get me a pic of a Smith and Wesson 1006? That'd be awesome, thanks.

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.

==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]]

== 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?

== Re: Titles ==

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 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]]

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.

==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. ;)

If anyone deserves thanks it's you, but you're welcome. Also, since we're talking about shotguns, do you think you could get an old wood stock set on a Mossberg 590 for the Dead Presidents page? ~[[User:yournamehere|Yournamhere]] (I forgot my name, silly me.)

== Re: Dawn of the Dead Shotgun ==

Thanks again, it looks even more menacing now, a true zombie killer. One question, did you have to do something specific to the shotgun to get the sights on? such as drilling holes?. Anyway, thanks again for the shotgun, it was well worth the wait.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 05:30, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

== Omega Man pictures ==

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.

I don't own any selective fire weapons. Out of my price range right now.

My wife hates it. Oh well. [[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]]

==Re: Orphaned Image==
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 didn't know that if you saved over an image, it eventually stopped getting stretched, and I wasn't an Admin. yet so I couldn't delete them myself. I deleted that image and any other from that movie that pop up in random images. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Mauser Rifle Series==
I was wondering since you added the Mauser 98 to the page if you think the Gew 98 should be on the same page instead of a separate page? I was thinking that it should be for everything else except the popular Gew98 ans K98k rifles. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]
:: You rock on the Mauser photos they are beautiful. At Ellis we had 1891, 1895, 1898. Model 1935 and VZ's I just have to find my repair records before I list them. Thanks Steve

==re:==

I'm in the habit of making LOTS of new redirects, meaning that I do new pages for gun variants that we have grouped on particular pages, and then I redirect to the group page. The advantage is that it makes it simpler to insert gun page links when I'm doing a movie/TV page. Like, who wants to write '''<nowiki>[[Heckler & Koch USP#Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP Tactical]]</nowiki>''' when you can just write '''<nowiki>[[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical]]</nowiki>''' and be done with it? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:44, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

==Your Break==
You deserve a break, you've done a lot of hard work for us. I hope you find taking pics fun again, just remember, you alone have taken more movie gun pics than any other on the net. It was my fault for starting the whole Frankengun thing, but I think the best way to fix it is to not allow it from now on, and credit you for any of the ones in current use. 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 one hand, I think you definitely deserve a break. IMFDB doesn't pay the bills, after all, and anything you do for us should be done because you enjoy it, not because you feel obligated to do it.

: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. Besides your gun pictures (which are awesome), you're one of the most valuable people on this site. Even if you never post another gun picture again, your presence would be greatly missed. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:34, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to hear about your most recent problem, and I agree, they should atleast give you credit when they edit your pictures, that's what I would do. And believe me, there are a quite a few users on here who apprecite your work. You are one of the most important users on this site because you have helped bring this site very far, and if there is anyone who deserves a break, it is definitely you.

I haven't been talking to Rockwolf actually, I just figured I'd make the page because we needed it. It's understandable that no one wanted them, they are ugly and fire mostly unique cartridges. They are like 1911s on steroids. Anyway, I had Auto Mags on the mind because of the Sudden Impact page I'm soon to upload. BTW, how the hell do you write Auto Mag? Is it Auto Mag, AutoMag, or Automag? I figured it was the first since that's what's written on the gun in your pic (which looks great). That's a 180, right?

==re: Executive Decision==

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). Usually, when I do that, it's because a movie has made me enamored with the particular gun that gets more screencaps than the rest. 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.''

Haha, I should have recognized him! It was indeed Shaun Toub [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0869467/] who played both the crazy(er) terrorist with the AK folder in "Executive Decision", as well as the store clerk in "Bad Boys". -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==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'.

Hope that helps, if you care. -[[User:Unbreakablewatcher|UW]]

==re: Browning BDA==

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 mean, let's face it...there are SO many different Franken-M16s, H&Ks, etc. that you'd go insane trying to get every little variation.

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. It's your page of course so you decide what can stay or go. I tried to make every shot I took very important and took as few as possible. You may notice my images match yours pretty close, I finally figured out how to match your cap format. I need to brighten a little more though, they still look too dark. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
: 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.

==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.

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.

: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.

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.

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:

== 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"?

I remember you asked if I had Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Taps, and guess what? I bought Taps. I have it sitting in my screencapping box and will try to do it soon. I also grabbed Appaloosa, which I've been meaning to grab for a while. I'll be screencapping that now. :)

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. He said he owned a gas gun and I asked if it was a Federal M201-Z, which shocked him since most people don't know these guns off the top of their head. Needless to say I thought it was awesome. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

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.

==Shotgun Blanks==
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)

==Something you should check out==

Have you seen this:

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Special:MostImages

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.

:MPM: The page looks much, MUCH better now. I suck with Calicos myself (now that they're so much harder to find), and I get lost with the different variants. Also, have you ever noticed that Calico used to call their weapons the "Liberty I" and "Liberty II"? What is with the "Liberty" nomenclature, and which guns does it apply to?

Hey MPM, I have a request for you. When I was at Ellis Mercantile we had a pair of custom M-100's built by LaFrance Specialties for a show. Would it be okay to change your M-100 into that configuration? Or you can set it up yourself as there is a photo of it on World Guns.ru smg .Let me know when you can. Thanks. -[[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

:Hey MPM, Ellis supplied LaFrance with M100 rifles and he made pistols out of them. They are different then the M110 pistols as they still have the rifle looks. I can mod you photo with you permission and then upload it under LaFrance Specialties M100 Calico Pistol. If it's not up to you standard on the photo when I upload it delete it.Let me know when you can. Thanks. -[[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

:Hey MPM, I uploaded the image of the LaFrance built M100 Calico Pistol. I know that Ellis had two of these I will check with Syd to see if they had them also.

== Experimental Guns ==

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)

==S&W 60==
It's okay, it seems like a pretty easy mistake to make when a gun is improperly labeled by the factory.

:Also, could you get a good picture of a sawed-off Remington 870 with an Enforcer pistol grip?

==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.

==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]]

==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)

== Re: Honoring Actors who have passed away ==

Read your suggestion about the addon for the pages of deceased actors/ actresses, and I think it'd be a good idea. I also have a couple other additions for that list, namely [[Alexander Godunov]] and [[Heath Ledger]]. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 04:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

:Hey MPM, I think it's a GREAT idea to honor the actors that have passed away. I think that it would raise the level of IMFDB another notch considering that people from the industry are now checking out this site more often.

That's a very good idea, I say go for it. I would be great to honor some of the greatest actors seen in movies.

== 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)

::I don't see why the action movie is a fantasy. I could get someone to write us a script, and if we all pooled our resources... We have people who can be actors on this site (myself included), I'm sure. We just need money. How many members do we have?-protoAuthor

:::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.

:::MPM, wow, I had no idea blank costs had risen THAT high, even though my sources have always told me they are more expensive than live rounds. And sorry to hear about the SAG losses, though I remember hearing about it earlier (you're actually one of a couple people I know working in showbiz who have told me the same story about how it affects them).

:::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)

Hey, MPM, I just made a page for the [[Daewoo K3]].

Can you tell me more about the obstacles to buying M249s which led armorers to use the K3? I figured I should get input from both of you on this so that the summary is accurate as possible. Thanks. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:13, 16 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]]

== 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.

==Template Layout==
Hi Everyone, Now that I am back let's talk about the page layout template. On the forum we had one item brought up about the chronological order being reversed. Also another item was brought up about putting lies or boxing in the information. As admin it is up to us to police the site and make a decision that is agreed upon by the majority of admins and then implemented.

==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. But it's definitely the kind of thing I wouldn't expect to see anywhere except in American movies and TV shows. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

==The S&W in Constantine==

[[Image:C-RachelGunLoadCarA.jpg‎‎ |thumb|none|600px|Angela Dodson ([[Rachel Weisz]]) loads up her 6906.]]

This pistol has a single-stack frame, so it can't be a 6906. It's most likely a 3913 (the regular 3913, not the Ladysmith). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

:''WTF? you in the habit of reading Gunmaster45's talk page?''

:Yep, I'm just creepy like that. No, seriously, I was about to leave a message on his page when I decided to PM him on the forum instead.

: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)

:::I don't think the ''[[Barb Wire]]'' guns are a factory MGC config; I think they were built using real M16 parts. As you noted yourself on the page, they have real M16 mags that clearly don't fit in the wells.

:::Anyway, as far as the Photoshopped guns go, I noticed that somebody keeps re-adding many of the M16s (like that inaccurate XM177E1) to the M16 page even though I have removed them myself on various occasions. Not sure who keeps doing it, but I would not discourage you from removing them. I'm getting to the point where I'm a bit fed up with Anonymous users myself (I've undone their incorrect edits a whole bunch of times now). But I hope it doesn't make you completely hate us. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:51, 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)

:You might be right (and we both know I've screwed this up before), but just take a look at this one other shot:

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

:My eyes could still be playing tricks on me, but those do looked like the circular front sight. Also, I noticed that in ''Stargate: Continum'', Cameron Mitchell used a Type 84 with the same color wood:

:[[Image:SGAK7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==Nice new pics! + "Stealth" ==

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]]

:Actually, ignore what I said, I forgot that the existing Rossi Overland was the same one from ''[[The Untouchable]]'', and keeping it for that page only is a good idea. But I think we should use yours for all other pages that have the Rossi. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

::Nah, I ain't psychic, just happened to be online at the same time. It happens. LOL. As I said later, changed my mind...the LMO one can stay on the ''[[The Untouchables]]'' page only, but every other page that uses it should have the image replaced by yours. Also, I think there's already a sawed-off 870 besides that one from the Waco Police Dept. on here somewhere...we should just ditch it and use the other one.

== 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. All in all it's a better movie imho. Just has an edge that the remake lacks. Alot of the 1970 cop films had a bite to them. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 21:24, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

==From your TimeCop page==

MPM,

[[Image:Timecop-ShotgunEmptyA.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Lyle Atwood ([[Jason Schombing]]) looks down and finds his custom SBR empty. This weapon would later be used on Stargate: Atlantis. The Actor ([[Jason Schombing]]) would also have a recurring role as Dr. Robert Rothman on the show ''[[Stargate:SG1]]'']]

As you noted, this is the same gun used on ''[[Stargate: Atlantis]]''. The show's armorer, Rob Fournier, specifically said in an interview that it's a [[Desert Eagle]] .44 Magnum, and he also mentioned that the gun was originally built for ''[[Timecop]]'' even though it's been re-used on the ''Stargate'' shows several times now.

Also, unrelated, but would you be able to very briefly check this cap and identify the revolver. I had originally thought it was a heavy-barreled S&W Model 10 but Gunman69 identified it as a Model 15. He may be correct but I'd just like a confirmation. Thanks!

==The Cell==

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.

Also, the gun you IDed as a Glock 17 in ''[[Jeepers Creepers]]'' also appears to be a SIG P226. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:33, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

== 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. But I have checked on the IMDB that [[Khosla ka Ghosla]] has a UK subtitle, Khosla's Nest, and [[Rang De Basanti]] has an english international title, Paint It Yellow. 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. Why cant we take it as a fully global site instead of an American site? The server may be somewhere in the America but why are you restricting the site as an American only.[[User:Ritwikbmca|ritwikbmca]] 02:48, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

==Re: Seven Days==

Thanks! I miss this show and wish it would come to DVD, too. I do have quite a few more pics of other guns used in ''[[Seven Days]]'', including a S&W 640 Centenniel which Parker used briefly in an episode, Norinco Type 84 AKs, an NSV heavy machine gun, a custom shorty AK variant, the shotgun used to kill Olga in 1x04 "Come Again", the Dragunovs, etc. I will also document the Non-Guns used in the Pilot, which, as you pointed out, were due to the restrictions of filming in the District. 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.

Also, Nick Searcy, who played Ramsey on the show, is from this state (North Carolina). I can't remember if he still has family here or what, but I know he's been back at least a few times in the past 5 years. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 14:09, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

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.

==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.

==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 agree that some of the sarcastic remarks have gotten carried away in some instances.

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.

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)

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)

:Oh, wow! No, I missed those classic screen beauties. Must have been an update you did while I was away (I come and go nowadays). Nice! Also, you mean to say you have a lot more where these came from?

:Don't worry, I haven't died just yet. But I do sometimes expect my research and papers and everything is going to kill me, I must admit. It does seem a lot quieter without John around - he used to be the one who tackled all the big new films when they got released to DVD. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 17:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

== My Man ==

Thanks so much for the Beretta 92FS Inox, it looks great! Not only have you gave us a new Beretta Inox, but also a two tone Beretta, and the screen used Sage Control SL-6 from Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, you are great! By the way, how did you get the grenade launcher? Did you make another visit to Cinema Armory?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 18:29, 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. Your contributions are invaluable and really help imfdb to be a one-of-a-kind site! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 05:17, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

==Re: Screen used gun uploads==
Yeah, I have noticed a lot of those lately. Most recently, I saw those guns from ''[[Dirty Harry]]'', which made me happy. But the ''[[Miami Vice]]'' S&W 645 beats that out, at least for me :). Thank you so much! If you could get those other Miami Vice guns like you said, that would be awesome. :) -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 04:49, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

==Re: Live Free or Die Hard==
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]]''. So yeah, you should say that it's from both movies :). -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 15:09, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

==Re: MAG-7==

As best I know, ''[[Romeo + Juliet]]'' is the only major Hollywood movie that's ever featured the MAG-7. I'm sure it's appeared in movies filmed in South Africa, but I haven't seen any of those films.

You've really got a lot of cool stuff from the boys at Cinema Weaponry. Please, do tell me, how was your trip down there? This is a really awesome update you've put together for us. Also, have you seen Steve recently? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:43, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

== Re:Thanks for your help ==

No problem, I don't like the idea of gun pictures having names like that, like you said it's just too wierd and confusing. As for the recent waves of screen used gun, excellent work! 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. Thanks so much for your updates, I can't wait to see what you upload next time.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 04:40, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

== Re: Where should I put this? ==

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. Thanks again, let me know if you need anymore help.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 05:41, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

That's the power of the wiki structure! We'll both have at it and see what comes out. [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 04:38, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

== 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)

== insulting actors/films ==

I think we should include your notes on not insulting actors to the rules and standards page. Personally I feel this should be in the principles section under "Be nice." and let everyone behave like adults, but if we're going to enforce it maybe it should be a new rule. Thoughts? [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 00:00, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

== Your photo has been edited. ==

One of your 1911A1 photos has been edited to look like the Dillinger machine pistol used in Public Enemies. Also I think that image was edited over an image I had already posted under the Dillinger machine pistol in Public Enemies. The image I had up was an actual firearm, while this edit is just cut and pasted together. The "new" image that replaced mine still even has most of my original write up I did in the thumb. I know that you do not tolerate your photos being messed with, as I can now kind of relate since my image has been messed with so I figured Id let you know. --[[User:Mauser|Mauser]] 00:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

That would be awesome if you could build the machine pistol. I understand what you mean by the younger members too.

== Bauer .25 Automatic ==

Excellent find! I'd say you're right; there's almost a 95% chance that's the FB Bauer and I've seen ''Wonderboys'' (but don't own it) and I remember Tobey Maguire using a small nickel pistol like that, with Michael Douglas's character mentioning he thought it was a "cap gun". From the shots I grabbed from FB though, I'd say we can be almost positively sure it's the same pistol. Thanks and great work! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 10:53, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

== Gun image rule ==
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?

Pursuant to the Standards page...how many caps are considered too many? The reason I ask is that I have been capping for the "[[Sons of Anarchy]]" page and have a fair amount at the moment.

I posed this question to gun master a while back and he was unable to help me. I was hopeing you could provide some insight:
:I don't know whether or not you have the answer to this question but I thought I'd ask anyway. I was doing some reading recently and learned Colt's Positive Lock safety, separating the hammer from the firing pin to prevent accidental discharge, was developed fairly early in the twentieth century and applied to Colt revolvers, however, many Smith & Wesson revolvers continued to use the simple spiked hammer design for decades. I was currious if you knew when, if ever, S&W adopted a safer mechanism for their revolvers and if you had any details about the design.
:-Anonymous

[[Image:PaybackS&W27-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the pin on the hammer of Porter's model 27.]]

==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.

Back to the S&W Model 19 with the 2.5 inch barrel for the above stated reasons.

==Smith & wesson hammer repost==
'''''I asked this question a few weeks ago and I guess it got lost among all your other messages'''''

I posed this question to Gunmaster a while back and he was unable to help me. I was hopeing you could provide some insight:
:I don't know whether or not you have the answer to this question but I thought I'd ask anyway. I was doing some reading recently and learned Colt's Positive Lock safety, separating the hammer from the firing pin to prevent accidental discharge, was developed fairly early in the twentieth century and applied to Colt revolvers, however, many Smith & Wesson revolvers continued to use the simple spiked hammer design for decades. I was currious if you knew when, if ever, S&W adopted a safer mechanism for their revolvers and if you had any details about the design.
:-Anonymous

[[Image:PaybackS&W27-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the pin on the hammer of Porter's model 27.]]

After more thought I figured that Smtih & Wesson had to have some safety mechanism on their guns differentiating them from models like the Colt Single Actoin Army, but I haven't been able to find any details on them. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

[[Image:RH3-Glocka.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A triad holds a Glock 17 against the head of Soo Yung ([[Zhang Jingchu]]) - 9mm]]

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.

When I talked to [[Al Vrkljan]] about the guns used on ''The Boondock Saints II'', he told me that the Desert Eagles that his company built for the movie were chambered in .357 Magnum.

I noticed you recently made a page for bolt action sporting rifles similar to the pages for double barrel and pump-action shotguns. I was wondering whether or not a similar page for single barrel shotguns would be a good idea. I know they are not as common in film as the other weapons these types of pages were made for, but I think they are weapons where many people (certainly myself) have trouble distinguishing specific models.

==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. Again, thanks very much for your input and hopefully your latest four-day job went well! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 09:17, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

==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.

Any preference regarding the M29 vs. M57 debate going on between me and and another poster on that page.

That would be great. Perhaps Milius will be able to confirm that he had originally intended the M29 to have a four inch barrel and if the production really did obtain two working M29's from the factory. I was involved in an investigation several years ago and actually spoke over the phone with Roy Jinks.

==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.''

==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)

==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. But if so, the proper way to do so is to upload over the old one, whereas Mr. Joker is trying to add the image to just one page. And he's ignoring my attempts to talk about it. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

==Reply: Archer==
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]]

BTW, I finally learned why Canadian movies and TV shows have so many Olympic Arms AR rifles. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:42, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

==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)

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?

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)

== 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.]]

Greetings

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. 
Best regards, Mikhail. --[[User:RussianTrooper|RussianTrooper]] 11:42, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

* Thank's for the answer.
The images in question are
[[Image:FN-LAR-with-Wood-Stock.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Original FN LAR ''Light Automatic Rifle'' - full auto rifle with Wooden buttstock - 7.62x51mm.]] 
[[Image:Mossberg500AT.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Mossberg 500AT Shotgun - 12 gauge. Note the wood furniture.]] 
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 
http://s49.radikal.ru/i123/1010/f8/9eb6cf67b2db.jpg - FN FAL 
http://s004.radikal.ru/i207/1010/42/0ec59abd7996.jpg - M1A1 Thompson

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)

::- 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)

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).

Do you have an idea where this gun was used in the film? Did Stallone use it? I thought he used the 9mm Gold Cup as his pistol throughout the film. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:33, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
::Syd Stembridge provided the guns for the film and he swears that it was a screen used gun, perhaps in Sly's waistband, but I've questioned this on multiple occasions, and I usually don't argue with the armorers who were there :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

:: Lol, I was just about to tell you. I kind feel bad about the comment I made on his page, but then again, maybe not. Anyway, this will be his third strike, I say boot him for good. It's clear he doesn't care and/or doesn't listen. But, I don't know, I just can't even stand stuff like that. Of course I guess I'm one to talk... [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 01:17, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

:I was going to send you a message like this ''I'm not going give him a temporary ban, but if he builds it again. Then he's gone for good.

==New picture Ass-kissing==
Well, I'm not doing much to shorten your already absurdly large talk page am I? Heh, anyway, figured I'd give you some more thanks for the new images - The Remington 700P(SPS) is very sleek. The two-tone SIG P229 is very nice, too. But especially the Smith Model 15. That is very nice, glad to have one with the target grips. I'm gonna add it immediately to the original Halloween page, as it's pretty much the exact representation of the Smith that Donald Pleasence carried there. Thanks again, very nice. I wonder what we'll see next! :D [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 21:36, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I had to revert one of your images after another user decided to upload over it because it needed to have a scope. Should we go through your images and change the protection level for adims only?

== 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 saw the picture on your user page and got curious; Is the M76 obsolete from (modern) movies? --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 21:54, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== Taurus Model 80 ==
Excellent. It dawned on me a few days ago that there was a strong possibility that all those revolvers that almost look like S&W, but not quite could be (in some cases) the Taurus Model 80. So I made the page. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 01:48, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

== Photos from manufacturer's web-site? ==
Would it be okay to upload photos from manufacturer's website? Good quality, but there is one minor detail - technically this could be considered "copyright violation", buy really it is unlikely they would ever complain such thing if the copyright notice is given upon re-post (as many websites are reposting and according to Russian copyright legislation this could be considered fair use, technically). But the deal is in IMFDB policy to such things - if it is allowed - then I'll upload the pics.

''Note many in the list below could actually be Colt Mark IV Series 70/80 Government Models, Springfield Armory, or another manufacturer. Instead of a former military issued M1911A1, unless its a war film. Since the markings of the gun aren't always clear, M1911A1 is a catch-all term. Being most 1911 manufacturers pistols are based off the M1911A1 platform.''

:Sorry, just busy. Anyway, I didn't want the blurbs to sound like we're crediting them for the ''photos'', only the behind-the-scenes information. And yes, I admit some of it isn't that substantive, but it was sort of a quid pro quo for exclusive stuff that they did provide (like the pics of the Beretta 81). Sometimes, getting the language right is a bit tricky. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 14:16, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

== Re: In Cold Blood ==
Thank you very much! I had those pictures ready for about a week before uploading and kept trying to figure out exactly which they were. 870 didn't seem right to me but for some reason I didn't want to definitely go with a less common model in case someone wouldn't have been able to identify it correctly instead. I'll make the changes where I see them and if I have any more foul-ups, I greatly appreciate the help. - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 16:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
:No need to apologize, unfortunately the film doesn't offer too many shots of the very weapons that alter its plot! Thanks for keeping the pics coming; very nice touch with the watermark!

Do you happen to have both of them in your inventory, so that you could take comparison pics? I sometimes see Smith & Wesson 3000s misidentified as 870s. While they are very close, there's a few giveaways. 9 times out of 10 it is an 870 being used in most films. But on some occasions it's a Smith & Wesson. I think some comparison pics would help a lot. Thanks.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 18:49, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Was the Model 733 ever available with an A2 rear sight? On the ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' page a few actors are listed as using the M733, the one used by Jason Isaacs is definitely a shorty but it has an A2 rear sight, same with the suppressed one used by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The one used by Nikolaj I don't think it even has a short barrel. Probably a 14.5" or 16" upper with a fake can slipped over the barrel. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 09:32, 25 March 2011 (CDT)

== Just to explain the RPG thing (still can't post on the forum) ==

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] regarding the fact that it's a term used by professionals and authoritive sources. He's claiming I'm just saying "everyone" uses it, but I'm saying ''experts'' on the subject use it; people who's job it is to deal with these weapons, speaking officially and formally, call them RPGs (his reply is that he's a higher authority than defence contractors and the army on this site, which is...interesting, certainly). I'm also not saying we need to change everything: just that "Type 69 RPG" is no more incorrect a way to refer to the weapon than "Type 69 rocket launcher" or simply "Type 69." All three are valid in captions and on weapon lists, so there's no need to change anything from the way it is. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 01:36, 16 April 2011 (CDT)

== A Blank question ==

During the making-of for [[La_Linea_-_The_Line#Custom_CAR-15|La Linea - The Line]] a member of the film crew shows blanks loaded with BBs. I was wondering: Do these have a specific name? Are they used frequently on movie sets? I was hoping to make a trivia note out of it. Also: Could you take a look at the section for the carbine Liotta uses in the same movie? My own knowledge of firearms is too limited to make a proper identification. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. --Milkovich [[File:Milkovich Signature.jpg|20px|frameless|link=User:Milkovich|]] 03:40, 26 April 2011 (CDT)

: During the making-of a crew member is seen cycling multiple such rounds through one of the carbines. He does this in rather tight quarters.
: [[Image:The_Line_-_CAR15_special.jpg|thumb|none|200px|]]
: In Motion, you can actually see the BBs bouncing off the wall. From what you said it's a good guess that that is a pretty hazardous thing to do (especially since he isn't wearing safety goggles). Could it be that they simply wanted to make sure that the weapon is cycling correctly? It sounds logical to use a less expensive kind of ammunition before putting hundreds of movie blanks through it just to have it jam on you. --Milkovich [[File:Milkovich Signature.jpg|20px|frameless|link=User:Milkovich|]] 01:31, 27 April 2011 (CDT)

Yeah, it is amazing how much this site can change so much during a long absence, like the new layout similar to other wikis. Is it me, or was the search bar at the top of the site, then back to it's original spot of the left side? And yes, there are so many names I never seen, I do like how new user accounts appear in the recent changes list as they are created, it makes it easier spotting possible vandals and spammers before they act, but it's always great to have experienced users working around the clock to make sure newbies make the right edits. You did a great job on the watermark, originally I was against the idea after I saw the example Gunmaster45 made, but you, like always, makes everything work perfectly. Even though there will always be piracy, I will always be able to tell a MPM2008 image from a stock image as no one can do a better job then you.

== Question Regarding Documentaries ==

Hi,

I'm sort of new to the Internet Movie Firearms Database world, so forgive me if I seem a little naïve on some of the rules and regulations. The page that I created on the documentary series ''Secret Service Files'' was tagged for deletion. You made a note in my talk page about how there is currently a moratorium on crating new IMFDB pages for documentaries, and that the current ones on the website were "grandfathered in". It seems a little odd to me that IMFDB would make such a decision specifically on documentaries, whereas pages about movies, TV shows, anime, and even video games are allowed. The Rules, Standards, and Principles page describes IMFDB as ''"an information resource"''. In the interest of completeness, doesn't it seem that a database for firearms depicted within this type of media should include documentaries (just wondering)? I certainly would like to finish the page I started to create (provided, of course, it is acceptable to the IMFDB staff). You also mentioned something about ''"running it by the Mods first to see if it warrants a waiver from the ban."'' What is "the Mods" and how would I go about doing this?

Thanks,

==AVP==
Hi. There is one quick question that bothers me: What is up with the Aliens vs. Predator '''video game''' pages? Are they allowed or not? Just 'cuz I was thinking of creating a page for a 2010 AVP video game, but I do not want to screencap it if the page's gonna get "nuked" after. It must be noted that this game features perfectly modeled M41A pulse rifles, M56 Smart Guns just like the movie(s). And there is another game in development, which will be some sort of unofficial [[Aliens]] remake, you know without Predators and shit like that. So should I do this/these pages or is IMFDB better off without 'em? Thanks in advance! - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 13:03, 9 June 2011 (CDT)

== Heh, sorry. ==

Didn't realise you were on, and I wanted to make sure you saw it. Anyway, I picked the info up from imcdb (internet movie car database), one of their comments on the fake tanks had someone mention the M8A1 and I looked at the photos and realised that it couldn't be an M48: as well as the return rollers, the M48 has a really odd out-in curve to the hull sides while our shot of the ZSU hull bottom on the ''Red Dawn'' pages shows the hull sides were straight. That's where someone mentioned the Sheridan, too; it was only when I thought to check the ''Red Dawn'' page on our site that I saw it could only possibly be an M8A1. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 01:54, 29 June 2011 (CDT)

:Addendum: after further looking around, it looks like ultimately the source of the correct info was [http://filmpanzer.squarespace.com/journal/2006/11/6/veluzats-red-dawn-vismods.html Filmpanzer], though I don't know if that site got it from somewhere else again or he just ID'd them himself. It makes sense that they're use the M8A1, actually, since it would mean they only needed one set of spares for all their AFVs since they were all M41 derivatives (the M42 is, too). Still not sure why they'd get it wrong on the DVD, mind. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:50, 29 June 2011 (CDT)

::It's basically just a stretched M41 hull with a longer tread run, like those 6-roadwheel M113 updates some companies make; all the actual parts of the running gear and drive components are the same as far as I can tell, it's just a longer chassis (and if Wikipedia's stats are to be believed, an uprated engine, even though they say it's the ''same'' engine but give different horsepower figures for the M41 and M8 anyway. Ah, Wikipedia...). So yeah, they'd only need M41 bits for all the tanks in the movie since you don't tend to haul spare lower hulls around. :D [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 01:46, 30 June 2011 (CDT)

== Short films ==

Hey, I do a bunch of short action films, which I usually release on YouTube, published under my studio's label.

== Battle LA Helmet Cover ==

I think what he meant to say is that it appears that the helmet cover is turned inside out. Note how the seams are raised on the sides and that MARPAT pattern is not visible anymore on the helmet. I don't know about the flap though. It's possible that this was done to hide the fact that they used an Army helmet cover instead for this shot. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:31, 4 July 2011 (CDT)

[[File:BLA 214.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The MARPAT is very visible and the seams aren't raised.]]
[[File:BLA 028.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Here the seams are raised and the MARPAT is not readily visible.]]
:Sorry Ben but what I meant is that the flap is suppose to be at the rear of the helmet not the front. I explain further below. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 15:30, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

== Dragon Wars: D-War ==

I rewrote one of your trivia sections here since I figured out how they got all those tanks: they didn't. Only the front pair are real, you can tell by the way none of the others are obscured by smoke from the lead tanks' engines (look in particular at the one turning into the top of the street on the right compared to the tree next to it). I think the rear two Humvees are fakes too since they don't have the tall whip antenna the two at the front do. Also (and one I can't edit) I found out the Tiger tanks in Saving Private Ryan are T-34/85s. Happy 4th of July to you, too. :D [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:04, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

:Those would be the ones that use construction equipment rubber band tracks rather than real ones, like the fake tanks from XXX: State of the Union and Transformers? Yeah, I could see that, but unless the tanks were digitally cleaned up in post I can't see how they wouldn't be affected by the exhaust from the leads unless they aren't real. And it does strike me as interesting that every other shot we have of the tanks is blocked so that only the two Army Trucks Inc Chiefbrams are in it ;). Still, I'll check through and make sure I didn't say it for sure. Also, I think [[User:Grimbo]] is moviemaster1993: he's [http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Transformers:_Dark_of_the_Moon&curid=80260&diff=435382&oldid=432832 posting that he was innocent and we were mean and horrible] and has made [http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=433970 a particularly charming edit to the main page talk he then undid]. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 22:12, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

==RE Battle LA==
The thing that indicates that the cover is backwards is that the "big flap" is worn to the back of the helmet. It's purpose is for
"commo cables" not for NVGs as there is a vertical slit ''on the opposite side'' to accomodate the Rhino Mount Bracket (Yes I know I said for helmet band retention before-but thats what I used it for). Also while that flap looks large it actually only opens up about an inch, definitely not large enough to accomodate a "Notoros Mount". I also have no experience with Marine Gear and my experience all comes from the Army ACH/MICH but I imagine they are identical in function. Regardless I have never seen the cover with the flap worn anywhere but the back. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 14:26, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

== Stealth ==

I've been making some additions to ''[[Stealth]]'' and since you originally built the page and added it: can you remember where you saw an M16A2 in the movie? I've been flicking through scenes likely to contain guns rather than watching it all the way through, granted, but I've only found some guy in the background of the briefing scene after the intro with some sort of AR-15, and his looks like it has an adjustable stock. The carrier scenes everyone seems to be sticking to their sidearms. For now I've removed the entry since I can't confirm it. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 03:03, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

==Image Rules==
I recently uploaded an image of my personal CZ 85B (with licensing to IMFDB). We already have a stock image for it that is of higher quality, but it's a jacked image and does not show the right side of the gun (i.e. it does not show the biggest difference between the 75B and 85B). Should I replace the current stock image?--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 12:18, 10 July 2011 (CDT)

I've put up a couple like that (mostly for 2 XM8 variants we only had hideous GIFs of before), should I try to track down gun-only pictures for those? Are they no good as placeholders even if they're a better view of the weapon? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 16:31, 11 July 2011 (CDT)
:Ok, I'll work on that. The trouble with XM8s in particular is you can never tell if the damn things are Airsofts if you're just Googling (they usually are) and you can be fairly sure nobody would issue an Airsoft weapon on a real firing range (plus US army images have the advantage of being public domain). Still, if thems are the rules I'll have to go searching, I guess. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 16:48, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

I removed a comment he added that Ben41 told him off for ("What the fuck makes you so fucking special?") and he decided he should remove my comment that he was replying to. I reverted it a few times then gave up after telling him he was likely to get banned if he persisted: since then two other users (HashiriyaR32 and Rockwolf66) have reverted him too.

== Thinking of writing a "how to contribute" article ==

Since you suggested it and all. The way I was thinking of doing it was rather like a conventional article using screencaps to visually explain the various formatting rules we have and so on. Since that'd be too big for a forum post and have too many images, I'd probably start it out by posting it "floating on nothing" and then make a forum thread linking to it for comments and suggestions.

First question, though: what do you think would be a good example movie? I'm heroically resisting the temptation to use ''The Lord of the Rings'' ("Beholde as Legolas useth ye [[Glock]]"), and the ideal would be a movie with a title starting with "the" so I can explain the title rules regarding that. Any suggestions? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 23:55, 15 July 2011 (CDT)

== J.C. Higgins ==
If Sears Robuck was the company that sold the various models (despite who made them) and just changed the name of the model to reflect the changing times then I say go with Sears & Robuck. The way I see it it's no different then all the 38 caliber K frame revolvers S&W used to make. Despite all the different model numbers S&W still comes first when naming them. So why not Sears? You probably know this, but Ted Williams was one of the first big name ball players to get an endorsement deal. Sears even had fitness equipment with his name on it. When I was in 6th grade (1979-1980) I had (still have parts of it now) a weight set with his name on it. Funny. Wonder how much hunting and shooting Ted actually did? Anyway I say yes.

== M16A1 Lower ==

Hey, just curious, what lower is that on the pictures of the M16A1 variants you photographed?
[[Image:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|300px]]
Is it an A2, as it looks like it has the strengthening around the front push pin and buffer tube.

Also, on the following picture your description says it is an SP1 lower modded for full auto, but it has push pins rather than screw pins and a detent spring holder (partial magazine fence) rather than slab sides. Could it be that this is actually an XM16E1 type lower? (Although on second though that isn't it either, as it has the A2 strengthening around the front push pin.)
