==Site down==
Was it my imagination or was IMFDB down for at least one day? Is this something we should be concerned about? :) Was it the server change over? Things DO LOOK much faster right now. :) Hope everything is okay and we haven't moved the servers to Haiti or some other hurricane ravaged place. ;) MPM2008

==Hey==
Hey Bunni, thanks for helping me create the Resident Evil page, just to let you know it's all done. Also, I wanted to know if you allowed 18th century weapons on this site too because I'm thinking about doing a page on The Last Samurai. Thanks.

== Reply ==

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure it was okay with you before I started, and no problem, it was fun creating the Resident Evil page.

== The Last Samurai is finished ==

Hey Bunni, I just wanted to let you know The Last Samurai page is finished, but some of the images I put up might need to be fixed. Sorry to bother you about it, but I don't know how to make the images fit together as well as you can. And also, I noticed you are creating a page on Heroes. I know a website where you can find the guns used on the show, go to this site:

http://heroeswiki.com/Main_Page

And search weapons, and it should bring you to a page that shows you the weapons that are used in the show, hope it helps.

== Taking a short break. ==

Hey Bunni, I just want to let you know I'll be taking a short break so I can think of a film to make a page about next. Also, thanks for editing the pages Orca and I made and putting them on Wikipedia.

== Image:Prof-Case.jpg semi-autos ==

Took a look at the pistols in Image:Prof-Case.jpg, and I believe the one in the back is a Beretta Inox while the one in the front seems to be some sort of custom job using a 1911 frame. I think the revolver -might- be a Taurus of some kind. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Thanks for the tip, that looks like the gun. RE: Apocalypse should be done today, I just have to add three more guns.

== Re: Scarface ==

Thanks, I also like the job you did on Saving Private Ryan, you take better pictures then I do! Also, it might be awhile before I make another movie page, I have to get more Fullscreen dvds because most of my dvds are in Widescreen, and my picture don't come out so good with the two black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, but I'll do as much as I can. And thanks again for commenting my work on Scarface.

== The Beretta/M16 issue ==

I think that the [[M16 rifle series]] page should be kept together, since the guns listed on the page are essentially the same weapon, though giving the Beretta 93R its' own page is possible, so long as it's done well and kept up to the same quality standards as the other gun pages on the site. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 22:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

: I'm afraid I goofed on making a page for the Beretta 93R; it somehow ended up getting labeled as "[[Beretta 92]]". If you could fix this, I'd greatly appreciate it. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

:: Disreguard, [[Alienqueen11]] took care of it. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]]

== Merge Sig Sauer P220-series pistol pages? ==

I would like to suggest that all the pages for the Sig-Sauer P220-series pistols be merged into one, since they're all essentially variants of the same weapon. This merger would include the [[Sig Sauer P226]] and [[Sig Sauer P228]] pages, and any others I might have overlooked. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 16:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

: I've copied the Sig P228 material onto the Sig P226 page, I just need someone to retitle the P226 page and redirect the P228 page. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 20:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

== RE: Congrats ==

Thanks, that's great that they're featuring it. It's also good for this site since it's being advertised. And sure, I'll keep checks on the Scarface page, I already deleted one vulgar comment, I wonder how you block users like that from editing.

== We need moderators ==

Hey Bunni, I was wondering if you knew how to get some moderators on this site to block some of the users because there's been alot of vandalism since we're gettting alot more visitors. This one user deleted the content on the main page, Scarface, wallpaper, and support, but don't worry I fixed them.

== Relation between IMFDB and a former Wikipedia article? ==

Hey Bunni, I was curious, aside from the overall theme, is there any relation between this site and the former Wikipedia article "List of Firearms in Films" and its' sister article, "List of Firearms in Video Games? I was a frequent contributor to that article and a fervent advocate against its' deletion, and was wondering if that article is living on here? [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 22:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

== Re: Adding Admininstrators ==

Sure, I be more then happy to take up the status, just let me know when it's done, Thanks alot. Alienqueen11.

== Re: Wikipedia article ==

I'm afraid I don't know any of the admins over at Wikipedia, I'm just another user there. As for your suggestion that I be a moderator here, I could give it a shot. Also, don't forget to retitle the [[Sig Sauer P226]] page so it covers all the P220-series pistols, and/or let me know how to do it should you give me moderator privledges. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 01:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

== Suggestion for movie articles ==

I just had an idea to help add something to the movie articles. How about adding movie poster or DVD/VHS cover images to them, like their articles over at Wikipedia have? Just a thought. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 01:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

== The Sig P220 pistol page ==

Thanks for fixing the Sig Sauer P220 pistol page. I'll start fixing the links as nessicary. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 02:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

== Re:Digg ==

Cool, You mean vote for it? I have to have an account there to do it, I'll make one.
I just voted for or digged it, it has 7 diggs now.

== New Category suggestion ==

Hey Chris, I was wondering if you could make a new category for movie posters & video covers? I'm considering adding movie posters & case cover images to some of the articles to improve them, but need a category to put those pictures in, since they don't exactly qualify as screenshots. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

== Re: Cover and Poster Categories ==

How about we combine them together into "Poster and Cover Art"? make things a bit simpler and avoid mis-categorizing. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 02:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

== Poster and Cover Art category created ==

I just created the "Poster and Cover Art" category. If you could create a link for it on the main page, I would appreciate it. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 22:18, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

== Re: Funny ==

lol, that is funny. I still have more stuff to add before it's complete though. And also, when do you need those revolvers from Sin City identified? Alienqueen11.

== Sin City Revolvers ==

I know some of those revolvers you're uploading, would you like me to tell you what they are here, or do you just want me to edit the screenshots? Alienqueen11.

== RE: Sin City ==

Yeah, I was thinking that too, plus a few of them look like Colt Peacemakers or Single Action Armies.

== Call for screenshots ==

I was wondering if you or Alienqueen111 could help add some screenshots to some of the film & game articles I've made? I'm only limited to images I've been able to scour off the internet, which sadly isn't much. Any help you two could provide would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 21:56, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

== Update on SC. ==

I identified some of weapons, and created some headlines for them and placed thier screenshots were they needed to be. but there are still four unknown guns though. Alienqueen11.

== Re: Screenshots ==

Thanks man, I appreciate it. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 22:25, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

== Ghost's 'mystery pistol' in The ''Matrix Reloaded'' ==

From what I've been able to dig up, it looks like Ghost ([[Andrew Wong]])'s mystery pistol in ''[[The Matrix Reloaded]]'' is a customized SIG P220-series pistol, most likely a P229. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 03:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

== Screenshots ==

Hey bunni, do you how to take a screenshot from a Widescreen movie and not have those two black bars?

Nevermind actually, I found a way to get rid of the black bars. Alienqueen11.

== BHD M1911A1 ==

Why did you delete the M1911A1 pistol from the ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' article? That weapon is indeed used in there by the Delta Force operators. In the scene at the beginning of the film where Blackburn and Eversmann first meet, you can see one of the Deltas draw and fire his M1911A1 on the shooting range. It is also used by Delta snipers Shughart and Gordon in their ill-fated attempt to defend the second crash site. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 20:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

== Shoot 'Em Up ==

In Shoot'Em UP, Mr. Smith is not firing a AKS-47U and the men chasing Mr.Smith are not firing FN SCAR's they both are armed with Mico Gali's.

[[Image:Galil_m.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Micro Galil.]]

The picture you have of the FN SCAR is not correct. You have a picture of a 'Robinson Arms XCR' with an EoTech sight. Here is a picture of an FN SCAR.

[[Image:FN_SCAR_-1-.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN SCAR with Aim Point sight.]]

On a side note the SCAR has not been released to the civilain market yet, just like the H&K G36.--[[User:Gunner313|Gunner313]] 17:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

== No Problem ==

No Problem, I blocked that user, and undid all his edits with the help of another user using an IP address so everything should be fine now. Alienqueen11.

== Pistol ID Needed ==

Hey, do you think you could ID this pistol? I was browsing still images from ''[[The World Is Not Enough]]'' on IMDB and came upon this pic:

[[Image:TWINEPistol.JPG|thumb|none|500px|The "Cigar Lady" moments before using an unknown pistol to blow up a hot air balloon and kill herself in ''[[The World Is Not Enough]]'']]

Any help would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 20:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

== Re: Glad to see you back! ==

Sorry about my absence, my computer ate it hard back in mid-september, and my internet access has been spotty at best (presently using my mom's laptop, hence why I haven't made pages for some of the things I've seen in the interim). I'm trying to get my computer back up, but it's looking to be a lengthy process due to financial troubles. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]]

== About [[Snatch]] ==

There are a bunch of pictures of the S&W 686 being used, but when you click the pics, it says they're Colt Pythons. The pictures aren't that clear, so I can't be too sure, but at least one (the pic with the titles in it and the arm in the picture) is very likely not a Colt Python. The Python has a noticeable "railing" on the top of the barrel. S&Ws don't. The "Boris" picture, though, does look like a Python, although the top of the gun is hard to see.

==thanks==
is this how this works? I hope so. anyway, thanks for the message. I was thinking about signing up.

== RE: SVT-40 ==

It's too big to upload here, but here's an imageshack link:
http://img248.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tokarevsvt40fa7.jpg

I paid about $300 for mine after a large number were imported to Canada, they're going for $400-$500 now as they got bought up. We got them because Russia signed a agreement with the Clinton government not to export certain firearms (including the SVT-40) to the US.

I will warn you, it's a real pain to strip, so if you're at all lazy about cleaning don't fire surplus ammo in it. I use Igman and Bell almost exclusively, it's still pretty cheap and I don't feel bad about firing it in some of my rarer rifles.

== Shooter ==

Hey Bunni, can you please upload more images for [[Shooter]] when you get the chance, I want to see more great screenshots. I'll greatly appreciate it, thanks.

==Re:Platoon==
Thanks. I still got plenty to do. It should be done in an hou or two.

By the way, why did you pick Platoon for the front page? Just curious.

And if okay with you, you should add some of the larger articles like [[Hard Boiled]] (biggest with 54 guns) or one of my lesser ones like [[Last Action Hero]]. Or find articles that convey the different time periods. My [[Quigley Down Under]] page shows the 19th century side of the site. [[Heat]] should definately deserve a spot on the main page, being such an infamous gun movie. Sorry to advertize my work, I'm just shooting some ideas. Great site, still got many more articles to come. On my to-do list are Rambo II & III, and I got this western film called "Young Guns" to do. I might do [[The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly]] eventually. Weekends will be my time to shine now that I'm back to school. -[[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==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.'' ((Edit: AlienQueen took care of it. Thanks! ) I hate these vandals. ''

==Old site + front page==

I'm trying to make the front page code function again so that we can see the same stuff we used to see, but no go. Also, someone is still editing the old site, apparently after accessing it via the link on the front page...maybe we should lock it so that source code can still be copied, but no new changes can be made?

== Images ==

I noticed that the images of guns and screenshots on movie pages on this server are a little pixaleted and fuzzy when they were crystal clear on the old server. I'm sorry to bug you about this issue, but I would like to know if this is just a bug that will be worked out (hopefully), thanks. --[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 01:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

You're the second person to tell me this - but I don't see it at all in my browsers? I've looked on OS X and Windows XP with Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Chrome... [[Special:Contributions/76.174.56.4|76.174.56.4]] 02:13, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

:Same here. I've been looking at several articles (mostly my own, admittedly), and I don't notice a difference. It might be the fact that I'm viewing the site on a laptop with a pretty small 13" screen, but I also viewed the site this morning on my desktop at work, which has a 19" monitor, and again...no difference in image quality that I could see.

I think I've found a solution, I found that if I change my Magnification from 100% to 101%, the images on the pages look fine, the page is a little wider, but it looks better. I think the site could have been slightly more magnified on the last server, is this possible?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

==Main Page==

I added some more pages to the feed on the Main Page. Not just my own either...old favorites like ''[[Heat]]'' (still our most popular) and ''[[The Matrix]]'', as well as various articles from the past few months by myself, Gunmaster, MoviePropMaster, and Orca. My criteria was to add thorough pages that have screencaps for all of the guns listed, and which generally meet high standards. This is, of course, your site, so feel free to judge which pages meet your standards for the Main Page, but I just think we should make sure we're promoting the best pages by our users.

:Hah! I could hardly call it my site - too many great users, including yourself, have made huge contributions of time and energy to call it *mine* - I'm just trying to keep the hardware up to our growing needs and the site backed up daily! :) [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 03:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

::LOL...thanks, dude, but seriously, you started it, and you run it, so that does ''kinda'' make it yours, no?

::BTW, what's wrong with the article feed? I've tried a couple of little edits that haven't made it work any better. Any idea what bug is causing that? Also, I edited the proportions of things slightly...the "Featured Page" now takes up 65% of the horizontal width, and the "Featured Image" 35%, which seems a little more ideal. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

:::The article feed relies on an extension that's giving me nothing but errors at the moment... I'm looking for a different version or a bug fix... [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 06:06, 3 October 2008

==Uzi==
The Uzi page is down last I checked, thought I'd let you know. -GM

== Moderating ==

Hey Bunni, I sorry to bother you about this, but there is a bug with my moderating abilities. I am unable to block users who vandalize or spam pages, there are these two users who inserted gibberish into [[The Rock]] page and [[Commando]] Talk page, and I'm unable to do anything about them. If this isn't too much trouble for you, can you fix this as soon as possible? Thanks.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 17:49, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== Re: Admin Rights ==

I'm sorry, but I'm still getting an error message. Any ideas to what could be going on?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Here's the Database error message:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "Block::insert". MySQL returned error "1054: Unknown column 'ipb_by_text' in 'field list' (localhost)".

I'll going leave a message on Orca's talk page right now asking if he has the same issue.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 04:03, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

==Unregistered Users==
I think anonymous users should only be allowed to edit a page if they have an account because any random troll can defile these pages whenever they please and if they register and troll, they are easier to ban. Also, when an anonymous user messages you, you can't respond back. By all means they should be allowed to read and view the pages but they shouldn't be allowed to defile the pages we work so hard on so much whenever. I know they can be blocked but still they do it so much, something should be permenantly done. Does it sound like a good idea? I'm not trying to make things harder for you so if it is too hard to do, dismiss my message. It's just when the Commando page and other pages keep getting trolled it makes me mad.
P.S. What do you think of the new and improved [[Saving Private Ryan]] page I spent all day on? -[[User:Gunmaster45|GM45]]

== Re: Which User? ==

I contacted Orca, and he has the same problem. Go to the [[Commando]] talk page, and look at the revision history and it's the first user down, and on [[The Rock]] page, there was a user that vandalized the page, but it has since been undone. Also be sure to read Gunmaster45's comment, it sounds like a way to protect the site, but I'm also afraid the site will loose activity if done so. I'll be sure to create a new account Thursday or Friday, I'll let you know the name when I do. Thanks, and good luck.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:47, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

:Personally, I don't agree with the idea of banning anonymous users from editing, for precisely the reason Alienqueen has cited. However, I do think we should probably get some more moderators around here. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

Okay, it was a ''bit'' harsh, but I was just throwing out ideas. In most cases, anonymous users make unprofessional pages, add incorrect info randomly, troll, and other things which wouldn't be missed (But not all. Some of the more knowledgable ones should just sign in with a user name and join the club), yet the main lot of us on the site with user names makes new professional pages and add good pictures everyday. I'm saying if it is harder to edit the site, more of the negative editors are weeded out and more of the dilligent users will sign in. And if a die-hard troll does sign in, he is far easier to ban and prevent future trolling. Obviously my plan is flawed but not a horrible idea. -[[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

--------------

My 2 cents on the issue. The person who was vandalizing the [[Commando]] page was doing it repeatedly from different IP addresses. IP addresses that changed from minute to minute, so this guy must have been doing it from a computer room at a school/college, or at a workplace with lots of IP addresses. This anonymous vandal taunted me with the words "Good Luck!" & "It's fun!" when I warned him to stop messing with IMFDB pages. One has to weigh the consequences, and personally, making it so that certain targeted pages are protected by these individuals, (and have to be edited only by persons who have bothered to make an online account), is a good compromise. Any other course of action, we can quickly lose control of IMFDB to people whose only desire is to do it harm. This comment coming from a member (me) who had to UNDO this weirdo's vandalism THREE times in the course of a few hours. If that had spread to the rest of the site ... I shudder to think what would happen. The fact that we have MODS who are willing to protect the site from this intentional vandalism is a good thing, and such action keeps members like myself from abandoning the site. I appreciate the quick action taken to protect the page. Members take a lot of their time to building good pages and it's one thing to lose info due to a hardware issue and it's another entirely to spend all one's time undoing the gibberish from a bunch of infantile internet vandals. Just something to think about. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

I just created a new account called [[User: Tyrannosaurus|Tyrannosaurus]], so you can try to upgrade whenever you're ready.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 19:55, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

::I can understand the frustration with these vandals. However, the fact is, most anonymous users are perfectly law-abiding and make useful contributions to the site. The way I look at it (and I say this as a libertarian who believes in personal freedom and responsibility), it's similar to the issue many of us have with gun control laws: A few gangbangers shoot up their "hoods" with AKs, so the liberals feel the need to ban everyone, including law-abiding citizens, from owning AKs. And the liberals might argue, "Well, if we don't ban assault weapons, think of all the criminals and terrorists who are going to use them to out-gun the police and take control of the streets!" But most of us would disagree with that, no? It's the same issue of freedom and responsibility here. I've had some pages I've worked on vandalized, and it's annoying, but it is fairly simple to undo the damage (go to "Page History", select the version that precedes the vandalism, and undo it). I think the biggest issue is the lack of available moderators to ban the vandals as soon as they strike. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

== Nominations for new mods? ==

The site has a lot of great users who I would be happy to have as additional moderators - however not everyone wants the responsibility. So, rather than foisting administrator status on some users I'd love for you guys to either step up to the plate or nominate other users you trust.

== Hey ==

Hey, Bunni, I would like to know if you can make [[User: MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] an adminstrator because a user has been uploading over his images, and I would like to put locks on his images so only he can upload new versions and revert them. Also, sorry if I'm bothering you, but did you ever find out what the bug was? I would really like to have the ability to block people again, because right now it would be very useful.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to say this but it still refuses to work, but it sounds like you getting close to solving the problem, I'm unable to block Users or IP adresses, but I'm still able to protect and delete pages, I think it says the error is in the function "Block::insert". . Is there a possiblity moving to a new server could fix the problem? (Not that you have to, It's just a thought). But thanks for making MPM2008 a mod though.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 23:14, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Thank you so much, Bunni. I'm going to ban all the vandals we couldn't before now. If you still have the nomination thing up, I would like to recommend [[User: Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]] and [[User: MT2008|MT2008]] for positions as new Admins. I will also let Orca and MPM2008 know about the good news. Once again, thanks.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

==RE:Top pages==
The page still needs a lot of work though. I'm still working on adding cars and knifes to the Punisher dicussion page for anyone to use, so I can't. Other wise, I would try. Any ideas on how to automate the page so it changes the information on its own? -GM

==The Leone Trilogy==
I just finished the last of the three Sergio Leone westerns, [[A Fistful of Dollars]], [[For a Few Dollars More]], and [[The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly]]. I was wondering if their is any way to put them in order on the "next page" options and in order on the movie page instead of alphabetical order. It isn't a big deal but let me know if you can. Also, keep your eyes out for my next projects. I just got [[Last Man Standing]] in the mail today and I also planning to do The Whole Nine Yards and The Whole Ten Yards soon. -GM
:That sounds like a good idea. -GM

== Beast of War ==

Hey Bunni, Orca discovered another bug on the site. [[The Beast of War]] page is broken for some reason. If you can find a solution to that, I would be thankful.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 19:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

==Defiance==
Hope you don't mind. I replaced some of your pics on the ''[[Defiance]]'' page along with some other screencaps. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:33, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Forums ==

Good Job on getting the forum back, but I recommend you put the anti-spam thing on it like you did with the one before the crash. Because you're already getting spammers on the off topic forum now.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 23:33, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

==Empty pages==
Anonymous users have been making far too many empty pages and it's kinda getting out of hand. Is there anyway we can stop anonymous users from making pages (before I was thinking too harshly by saying they shouldn't be able to edit the site), now I think it is a little less harsh if we can stop them from making the 20 empty pages a day. Even if this isn't possible, is there any way we can notify them to stop making these empty pages? [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]] 21:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== Another Mod recommendation ==

Hey Bunni, it's me again, and I have another mod recommendation. If you can make [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] an admin, it would appreciated. He has done alot of great work on the site, and is deserving of a promotion. Thanks.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Bunni, you may have noticed [[User:Speakeasy804]] has been doing an exceedingly good job of screencapping pages for some time now (sometimes two or three in a day!), do you think you could make him an Administrator, I think he's earned it. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== Thanks! ==

Thank you very much for the new privilege! I'm honored and I'll try and keep up the good work! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

==Screenshots==

Bunni, please do tell...how are we doing as far as server capacity goes? Do you want me (and other admins) to engage in another huge deleting spree of unused images/pages? We did it a while ago, but if it would help, please don't hesitate to ask.

Also, what kind of server upgrade do you need? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

:Yeah, I admit that many of us (myself included) have been getting WAY out of hand with screencaps. I used to make pages where I might have 10 images for a single gun, which is definitely overdoing it. And since many of our pages are the ones getting used for the Featured Article section, it makes sense. If you want, we can always start enforcing rules against having so many screencaps.

:As far as the new server goes, how much are you going to need? In the forum, we've discussed the possibility of finding advertisers. This site's Main Page has had over 1,000,000 views, and in the last month since we reached that benchmark, we've now had close to 200,000 more. At that rate, we can definitely start shopping around for sponsorship deals, especially in the American gun owning community. It might help with finding money to upgrade servers.

:The idea for the Main Page that you have seems like a decent enough idea, but I just worry that it will take away a great deal of the visual splendor from the site. After all, featured pages do a great job of showing casual viewers what IMFDB is like. An alternative might be to start being a LOT more frugal about what pages we put on. We can limit it only to articles that have, say, no more than 20 guns and no more than 3 images of each. I would be willing to edit some of my pages to fit this standard. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

::I know what you're saying about the featured page, and that was my intention when I first added featured articles to the front page - but at this point we are receiving enough traffic that it has become a serious strain. I've just updated the front page with a couple examples of what I was talking about using only one screenshot and then linking to the article. We have so many new visitors daily that I think it's important our front page load quickly so they can access the rest of the site - I don't want to discourage new visitors with an unusually long load time as their very first experience with the imfdb.

==A new member asked me for help==

Here is the repost of his query... Any idea why the system keeps kicking him out?

::I am having difficulty trying to assist with the website. I have registered using the user name "sgtmonroe". Unfortunately I cannot seem to get anything to work on the website. Everytime I go to a page to upload an image, or something to that effect, I get logged out.

::I am the "mystery user" that posted some additional information under the "Wild Geese" entry about the actors and firearms [such as the M1934 Beretta, SIG P-210, etc.]. For some reason when I posted my user name would not show up. I cannot figure out why the site keeps logging me out...even when I check the "Remember my login on this computer " box.

::I would love to assist with the website...I have prepared screen caps for the film "Lost Command" and was going to update the page for it...since the entry is very lacking...the film features around 25 different firearms...yet the entry just has the "MAT 49" at this time.

::I would appreciate any assistance you could afford me...BTW...after reading the forum entries I have noticed a trend in the complaints...just for your information I am 40 yo, former military and current law enforcement, can form a complete sentence, and have been a film "couch commando" pretty much my entire life...oh, and I own real guns!

::Thanks for any help as well as your time concerning this matter.

::C.A. Monroe

==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]] 04:28, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I had to make another account because [[User: Kenny99|Kenny99]] has account problems. When I clicked on to my user page, it is always blank and nothing else. I am not sure why this happens, but I uploaded a drawing from my camera, uploaded it, and the uploading progress disappears. I don't know why, but probably my camera probably has problems. - [[User:Kenny199|Kenny199]] 02:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

== Help! ==

Bunni, I really need your help, there is an error on this site preventing us from undoing revisons on Pages and Images, and this asshole named Hieloco just ruined a few of MoviePropMaster2008's images, and I can't fix them, please respond as soon as possible.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 23:53, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I just sent you a message concerning this on your Gmail.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 00:10, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Bunni, and yeah, I was assuming Unixy was someone was an administrator or someone like that. I'd also think the bug is affecting some pages such as a few talk pages too because if you look at ones such as Orca's and yours, a whole bunch of text in missing at the top, but it appears in the edit page. Anyway, whatever it is, I wish the best of luck in fixing it, and thanks for your help again. P.S sorry if I overreacted earler.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 01:42, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

==Thanks==
I will only exercise the function when deleting or banning spammers (don't know how to do that yet, but the next time someone spams the forums with gibberish, I'll get the chance to practice). Thanks again. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

==Thanks for deleting the old re-directs==
Those were back in the days before I was able to delete spam pages. As a regular member, all I could do was blank the page and change it into a legitimate gun or movie page. Anyway, that hasn't been an issue for a long time. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:41, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

== forum login ==

Well the weird thing is that there were 2 instances when the forum asked for my password when I wanted to delete and ban a spam bot. Those 2 instances when I typed my password correctly, it lead to a thing that said that it was the wrong password and that I should wait 15 minutes to try again. I then clicked on the button that saids send me password to my email to see if I did used the wrong password, but I never got any emails from the forum. Later on, when I tried again, I was able to delete spambots by typing in my password, unchanged. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 15:31, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, it seemed as if we were conflicting each other's edits. I will stop if you want to flesh out the page uninterrupted :) My apologies. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

==Insulting actors==
I was torn on putting it in the commentary section (which I have not had time to flesh out yet) rather than the principles section. It could belong in either section. In the commentary section I was going to address (a) inappropriate comments (b) moving commentary to the discussion page, (c) insulting actors (d) noting that observing flaws or goofs or anachronisms in a scholarly way is not being insulting (e) to limit sarcasm in all descriptions and commentary on pages (f) limit requoting entire sections of the movie in commentary 'just because it's cool' .... stuff like that. I'll put it in whatever section you deem appropriate though. Just let me know. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 00:48, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

==My forum login is still screwed up==
Not only can I not log in most of the time, the forum logs me OUT after a few minutes. I was composing a response to a question and I was logged out and not, again, cannot log back in. Can this be fixed? No much I can do as a Mod if I can't get into the forums. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

==Forum problems login==
Yes, I cannot login most of the time, because when I click on 'remember me', even if I carefully type in the correct username and password, I still get booted out with the warning that I've used up my login attempts, WTF? Only if I don't click on 'remember me' can I log in, but then I get logged out very quickly (within fifteen minutes) I know this because I was composing a forum reply to someone and just as I was about to post it, I got a NEW error message that I must be logged in, in order to post, but I was already logged in. So when I tried again to log in, I got the same Error message that I had used up all of my login attempts, even though the last time I tried to log in was obviously successful. I gave up trying to reply to ANYONE's forum posts, because I get booted out alot and can't get back in. Hopefully this description helps.

==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.

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.

==The new 870==

Nice shotgun you got there, Chris! I was in the market for a shotgun myself recently, and I thought about getting the 870 Express Tactical (with the rails and the door breacher), but ultimately decided on the Mossy 500 Mariner instead (because the stainless look won me over). Here's mine:

[[Image:MTMariner-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|(I now have a pistol grip for it, too)]]

Still, that 870 looks sweet. Again, good choice. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

:Congrats on the 229R, too. As for me, I love my SIG. It's a good, dependable shooter and far more accurate than I can ever hope to be. As for the 229, it's a good choice, although I personally find it a bit too wide (its grip circumference is a bit wider than that of the 226 and 228). But I'm sure you'll like it. It's a very popular LE pistol, and for good reason. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:50, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

==Interesting email I recieved==

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

"Hello,

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

If I'm interpreting this correctly, it sounds like someone uploaded a copyrighted image without permission and the owners of the image emailed me to thank me for removing it. What do you think? [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 18:46, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

==Deseart Eagle page edit==
Hey, I know your not the original creator but since you the second person to work on it and the original creator doesn't have a page, I figured I would ask you. I was wondering if I can fix up the Desert Eagle page by turning the lists into tables and ordering them in the correct time line. I just wanted your permission before I started screwing around on that page. Thanks, --[[User:ThePotShot|ThePotShot]] 23:33, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

==Small image upload problem==
I just tried to upload a new version of this [http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Image:ATeamS2_2006.jpg] image, but for some reason it wont show. I tried reverting to it, but to no avail.
Can you do something about this? Thanks in advance! --[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]]

Thanks for answering, but no, it still does not work. When I try to replace a screenshot the first time it refuses to do so and ''re-uploads the original'' instead http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Image:ATeamS2_2009.jpg.
The one picture that seems to work only has a working thumbnail. Try clicking the picture and it will redirect you to the old version. --[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]]

Hi Bunni,that happens on me too. I just registered 2 days ago and still I cant post any threads. So [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] told me to ask for your help. Please?

==Feature article problems==
Sometimes the feature article is not showing up on the main page. I think it has just started in the last few days. It may have been doing it before, but I never noticed. Could it be the number of articles on the feature list, even though it's random? 3 new articles have been added in the last few days, I've added one of them. I usually try to take an old article off before adding another. Just wondering what the problem could be.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:28, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

==Note my comment to the NUTCASE 'inventor' on the Total Recall Page==
If he were real he would NOT be talking to a lawyer. Despite being a gun inventor, he sounds like a kid when he writes. In order to be liable, one must inflict some sort of 'damage' whether to reputation, marketing, sales, review, etc. This guy is 2 bottles short of a sixpack based on his comments. I have no problem telling him where to shove it. (his rant was moved to discussion page and my response as well) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 22:13, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

== Axeman and Lost Images ==

On the [[Lost]] page, the user Axeman keeps reverting the screencaps back to originals he put up. Axeman's images weren't cropped and were too dark. I put up a comparison of his images next to mine on the Lost Discussion page. I think mine would be preferable, but I want to get some other opinions. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 22:40, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

== Question ==

Ok, Question I need to ask.

I notice that this website operates alot like a wiki. How did you do that? Does it cost money to operate a website like this? The reason I am asking this is because I have my own Wiki, but, do to circumstances beyond my control, I must find a new home for this wiki. Why? Simple: Because the new layout SUCKS! Also I know this is asking alot, but Do you now a way I could do this change quickly? However the big thing is making act like a wiki, but having the good old layout that you somehow have. So please answer back.

Someone noted that if we're discouraging uploading of PNG files, then it should be removed as an acceptable format on the upload page. This has been asked in the forum, but is there a way to do that?

==Searching Images==
In the "Screenshot" category, is there any way to increase the number of images seen in the page? Currently you can only search for 200 images at a time, and with the amount of images we now have, it takes forever just to get through the "A"'s. Another way maybe to put the Alphabetical index up there like the one seen on the Main Page? Thanks for your time. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 02:01, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll put it up shortly. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 06:46, 7 March 2011 (MSK)

== A Few More Things ==

A couple more things of note:

1. The additional advertising banner at the top seems to be overlapping with the edit commands.

2. Should the Trivia box also be left justified (as the Quote box is)?

3. Are you planning on adding back the recent discussions and recent articles? (I believe you removed these to test the loading speed of the page).

--[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:57, 8 March 2011 (MSK)

==Responses==

1. The browser is Firefox and the skin I was running was "minibanners", but I switched over to Vector and it doesn't seem to have that problem.

2. I hope you can bring back those recent discussions and recent new articles because they are very helpful to keep up to date on what's going on the site.

3. As more progress on fixing that login bug on the picture pages? Could it have something to do with the thumbnails of the previously uploaded screenshots? That wasn't there before and don't know if it causes any slowdown. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 23:46, 8 March 2011 (MSK)

==Article Problem==

I think you should take a look at this: [[Talk:Iron Eagle II]]

==Old image problems==
Is it because images were originally called image instead of file it's causing the problem where you can't upload over them because it acts like you're logged out and when you try to log in you get an error message? I uploaded some images today and it seems like you can upload over them.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 03:19, 12 March 2011 (MSK)

== Hey ==

Hey Bunni, sorry if I'm not on as much as I used to, but I want to say I like what you did with the site.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 08:45, 12 March 2011 (MSK)

== Image Upload Problems continued ==

Couple of problems still with the uploading images:

1. There's still the problem with the site not recognizing my login on the image page.

2. When I try to overwrite an image, the site doesn't recognize the new image (there's no revision seen).

3. The movie page doesn't recognize the new image revision even when I refresh the page.

Anyway, thanks for doing the png thing. Hope you can get to these when you can. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 22:42, 14 March 2011 (CDT)

==Re fixing image upload text==
Thank you :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 22:56, 14 March 2011 (CDT)

== Image Uploads ==

Tried a few images on [[Back to the Future Part II]], but it still doesn't recognize it. I'll describe my workaround for uploading over old images:

1. Copy filename of old image.

2. Go to "upload file" and copy filename into the "Destination filename: " box.

3. After uploading new image, it takes me back to the image page, but it doesn't record that a new image has been uploaded.

Before, I was able to just click on the old image and do an upload file from there. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 00:07, 16 March 2011 (CDT)

==2011 Topic: Type 69: RPG or no RPG? ==

Recently, there has been some controversy about whether a Type 69 launcher should be indicated as an RPG or not. I've started a topic in the forums about this and also here to see if we can get to a consensus about this. Moderators, please respond in the "Type 69" Rocket Launcher thread. For further information about this, you can take a look at the [[User Talk: BurtReynoldsMoustache]] page and the [[User Talk:Evil Tim]] page. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:21, 20 April 2011 (CDT)

== Unusual spacing in Actor pages ==
When I view the site on using Internet explorer (at 1366 x 768 resolution), I've noticed some of the actor pages that have multiple pictures, the tables get shoved down below some of the pictures that it was doing before. I've had to place the picture coding underneath the "Film" heading in order for it to look right. Take a look at the [[Amanda Tapping]] page to see the unusually large spacing.
Also, the actor title template I was using also has unusual spacing, as everything after the actor's name gets put on a second line. Please refer to the [[Sam Phillips]] page for an example.

I just took a look at it in Firefox at the same resolution and it was fine. Don't know what's the problem with Internet Explorer.

== Massive Vandalism ==

Just in case, you didn't see it, but there was a massive attack on the site by what appears to be a spambot. Perhaps a moratorium on unregistered users making changes might be in order? --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 06:14, 11 May 2011 (CDT)

Do it works on wikia.com ?

== new captcha ==

A captcha has been triggered a few times when I've been uploading some screenshots? What's been going on? Also the site's been taking awhile to recognize an overwrite of a screenshot. Because of a server switch? --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 00:23, 20 June 2011 (CDT)

Thanks for the update. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 20:13, 20 June 2011 (CDT)

== Strange issue ==

Clicking on a recently uploaded image by [[User:Pz.Abt.100]], I got this:

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

As you can see, it showed his login at the top instead of mine and displayed what I assume are his language preferences. Luckily, the "preferences" link still goes to ''my'' preferences rather than his so it's not a security issue, but it's still pretty weird. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:29, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

:Hey, Bunni, I'm having the same issue as Tim here: If I click on screenshots, IMFDB mistakes me for [[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] and displays his user name at the top right corner instead of mine. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 10:56, 10 July 2011 (CDT)

::I think I've figured it out: it's Cloudflare, rather obviously. It seems that until it updates, Cloudflare serves image pages ''exactly'' as they looked when they were first uploaded; one of mine tells me I have new messages when I look at it because I did at the time. I'm guessing this includes showing the language settings of the uploading user and their user bar. So, this is another incarnation of the issue that makes image upload pages take a long time to register any change to them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 11:14, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

== Returning Vandal ==

Hey Bunni, it's me. We have a small issue on the site involving this previously banned user constantly returning every other day and vandalizing the site and creating numerous pages ranting on how the admins are corrupt which we have been deleting everytime he come back, and many of these rants are toward MoviePropMaster2008. He seems to be constantly switching IP addresses and making a new account every other day, the last time he was banned was last night. Do you think you can find out anything about his IP address and get rid of him for good? . here's a list of some of the usernames he had so far:

Bj

Jmd1

A1234

Jables

Jamalpickmycotton

Dimaggio1

They're all on the block list so you can see them there along with his last IP address. Thanks for any help you can provide.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 16:49, 7 September 2011 (CDT)

== Re: IP bans ==

== Cloudflare ban issue ==

We've had some trouble recently with a spammer using randomly-generated names (see [[User_talk:Predator20#Spammer_.2B_ones_to_watch]] for the details and his potential accounts) but we've had an odd development; earlier, Predator20 banned one of his accounts ("3f8WoqN8") which has apparently made 173.245.53.76 a blacklisted IP. Thing is, IP checking says [http://www.ipchecking.com/?ip=173.245.53.76&check=Lookup that's one of CloudFlare's servers], and it appears it's now edit-blocking random users who get served by that one. Is there some workaround to stop account banning from blocking CloudFlare accidentally? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 10:15, 30 September 2011 (CDT)

That's actually my PS3. Had a copy reserved, and while BF3 is likely to join Far Cry 2 on the list of "games I own two copies of because of IMFDB," it's kinda nice to record video rather than hammering the screenshot key and hoping.

So I've been updating a lot of gun entries and one thing that is always annoying is having to use a converter to get the info in both metric and "standard".

Hi there.I hope I'm formatting this correctly I've never posted here before. I'm a big fan of [[Robert Culp]] and I'm curious about the part about him being a helicopter pilot. I'm part of the I Spy Fan community and most of the folks there are dedicated lifelong fans and no one over there has evey heard of him being a pilot.He never mentioned it in any of his interviews, such as his three hour archive interview. I was wondering where you got your information from? Not arguing, just want to increase our Culp knowledge base. Would dearly love any info you have.Also do you have any furher info on the skeet shooting competitions or guns that he had?.We only have one photo of the skeet shooting, no details about competion. As near as we can tell he owned the S&W from Trackdown and the rifles from Home to Judgement. But would love to know any other info about his collection.There's quite a bit of info available about his training, fast draw etc. from his Trackdown days but not much after.

It's not within the scope of this website (because I saw it on a book cover) but it's just been bugging me for a few weeks that I can't get a clear ID. Guess that's what happens when one spends some time on IMFDB hahaha

My first thought was a [[Walther P99]] but this particular gun has a safety switch and an external hammer so I have two options; (1) some kind of [[Walther P99]] version or (2) a blank gun based on the [[Walther P99]].

He says he thinks I am that person because I changed the gun on the Perfect Dark page to the one on the Goldeneye 007 page. I only did that because the "classic guns" in PD are based off the ones in GE 007, I was only going off what I thought was accurate, and at the time the GE 007 page said the DD44/CC13 was the Tokaypt or whatever, I was fooled I guess. I am sorry I didn't know that it was actually the Tokarev, but I am not Burt Reynold's Mustache(lol) and I really wish to be unblocked again, I wish there was a way to explain to Evil Tim that I am not that user besides the fact that my IP would be different than his.

:According to the information I have in my file about the shooting (I'm a rangemaster with my department so I collect data) the agents were carrying the classic "F.B.I. Load" in their revolvers. The 158 grain +P semi-wadcutter hollow point. It's a good load. Dove and Grogan had the 115 grain Winchester Silvertip hollow-point in their S&W autos. I carry the Federal HST 124 grain +P hollowpoint in my [[Glock 19]]. But then much of what we now use in law enforcement is directly due to the Miami shooting and what was learned. The ramifications have gone far beyond just the creation of the .40 S&W.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 11:03, 13 January 2012 (CST)

::Actually I'm with you. The Airweights and Scandiums are nice to carry, but I don't like shooting them. The .357 magnum Scandiums are terrible to shoot. Which is why I own a Smith & Wesson Model 49. It isn't that heavy to carry, but that all steel frame is nice for recoil control. Well that and the Pachmayer Compac grips I have on it. I have to say that i have come to really like my Glock 19. I had no real experience with Glock before I was issued mine in 06. I have since come to really like the G19 and the 9mm Parabellum. I also own a G26 which I like as well. It's funny. When I was younger I was all about magnums and 45ACP. I sneered at the .38 Spl and 9mm. Now all my handguns are 9mm, 38 Spl and 22LR.
Well that's not entirely true. I own a couple .357 magnums and a Webley Mk VI, but I primarily shoot 38 Spl/9mm and 22LR. They're more affordable, comfortable to shoot and I shoot them very well. Good bullet placement beats missing with a magnum. Anyway I also carry a Remington 870 loaded with 00 buck and slugs when on patrol and several other officers on my patrol team carry AR-15 rifles. So I have artillery as well.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 20:01, 13 January 2012 (CST)

==RE: SIG cont.==

It looks pretty nice! I've always loved the "reverse" two-tone SIGs (like the one in ''[[2 Fast 2 Furious]]''). That being said, if it says "Made in West Germany", that means it was made before 1989. Are you OK buying such an old gun that you can't inspect up-close? I'm kinda paranoid about buying guns that I can't inspect first, but if you're OK with it, then go for it. It's definitely a good-looking piece, and I think no gun collection without a SIG is ever complete (though I have an obvious bias).

Also, CCR does a great job on finishes (my 226 had its slide re-finished by them). If they did any work on the gun, it's probably in good shape, but personally, I would rather try it before I buy it. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 13:35, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

:The checkered style gives a better grip, but you can't use the newer trigger bar springs with them (only the old ones, which have a tendency to break after extended usage). My recommendation is that when you get the gun, ditch the "pebble" grips and put on a set of Hogues (provided your hand is big enough). That's what I've got on my 226 right now. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

::Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I like the two-tone one better. I think you made the right choice. And yeah, don't get the finger groove Hogues, those are too big. The regular Hogues are also pretty thick, but they do improve the grip. In my opinion, they're superior to the factory grips. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:42, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

:I would need to see either the receivers or the sight to be sure. If they're real guns, they're most likely to be Norinco Type 56s. But if they're replicas, probably Hudson model gun AK-47s. Also, hope you enjoy the SIG; post pics when you get it! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:07, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

::Looked at 'em closely. They have milled receivers, so my guess is that they're the Hudson AK-47 replicas. When there's multiple types of a certain weapon in a scene, you're usually looking at replicas of some sort. Like, if there's a cache of M16s, there's usually going to be some MGC replicas. Same with the AKs. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:48, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

That said, I figure I'll let you know about this (if you don;t already), and I suppose you can pass it on to MT2008 and the others. Anyway, I think there's a problem with [[Special:Contributions/76.121.27.16|76.121.27.16]] - He's been warned several times before to stop uploading/posting redundant gun images on pages (I just remembered MT was one of the ones who's warned him), yet he's kept on doing it. He's done a handful just earlier today that I've reverted back. I hate tattling on another guy but I have have a feeling I'm not the only one he's annoyed with this crap. The guy does seem to add to the site and all, but I just don't like him continuing to do this stuff, it's kind of irritating. So, well, there ya go.

== Stevens 520/620 Shotgun ==

The Stevens 520/620 is a John Browning design. The 520 went on the market in 1904 and was discontinued in 1932. The 620 was a more streamlined version. The abrupt angle at the rear of the reciever on the Model 520 was eliminated with the 620.Other than that the 520/620 are mechanically identical. The 520/620 was manufactured in 12, 16 and 20 gauge. The 620 was discontinued in 1955. Both models were avilable in riot configuration and sport/field configuration. I saw you post on Nyles discussion page. Also I think a 520/620 page is a great idea. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 02:05, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

== Stevens 520 ==

As I understand it (and I'm a little fuzzy on the details myself as there's not all that much info available), the 520 was the original model with the stepped receiver, and the 520-30 was the later model with the flat receiver (pictured). Very cool shotguns, actually - they were designed by John Moses Browning and were actually the first side-ejecting hammerless guns on the market. They were made 1904-1932 and then another production run in the 40s for the US Army in trench gun configuration. - [[User:Nyles|Nyles]]

== CC Revolvers ==
Snagging can be overcome with practice, but why when there are so many great hammerless and concealed hammer models now days. If you plan on shooting your concealment piece frequently I would suggest one of the S&W J frames. Personally I like the 649 or 49 and there are still many lightly used S&W J frames out there that will cost you a anywhere from a couple hundred to several hundred dollars less than a new one. The 38/638 is a good gun, but the alloy frame isn't as sturdy as the all steel if you're looking at a lot of shooting. Also if you can find one of the Ruger SP101 with the 2.25" barrel with the DA hammer you have a good little revolver there. However alot of folks prefer the trigger action on the S&W revolver. I prefer Smith & Wesson, but I appreciate Ruger and aknowledge that the company makes a very solid and strong revolver.Just remember that the Ruger is heavier, but will also withstand alot of heavy usage. Look at your requirements.

Now be careful with Colts. Like I said in that other posting the old Colt revolver action (Pre-Mk III/IV/V/King Cobra/Anaconda) is tricky and there aren't that many gunsmiths left anymore who know how to work on the action. I would recommend a Colt for collecting, but a Smith or Ruger for real world. Be careful of Taurus. The company has come a long way, but I still have doubts about the quality control. And that's not good for a revolver being used for the real world. Life or death in other words. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 23:46, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about adding this to your main page. I was working on it and I was also talking to my kids and dealing with the family pets (no not the kids). Guess I got distracted. Anyway glad to help. Also in all fairness to Taurus I am thinking of buying a Judge just as a "neat" revolver. Oh and that reminds me of something else. Somebody asked me about Charter Arms a few days ago. I would put that company in the same category as Taurus. It's come a long ways, but I'm still not sure about the consistency of it's Quality Control.Anyway talk to you later.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 12:53, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I think the mid size snubbies are great revolvers.I own a Colt Mk III Lawman with a 2" barrel. It'a a real Bulldog. They also look cool as hell. But they aren't really designed to be concealed. I know there are people who make them work, but I think they're more belt or shoulder holster revolvers. I suppose if you wear a sports coat all the time it would work, but that's not me. My dad carried a Model 19 snubbie for a few years back in the 70's and he described it as heavy after a few hours and dense. He said that he was always worried about it printing. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 17:52, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Glad to help. The 642 is a good revolver. You might want to get Snap Caps so you can practice your dry firing without worrying about breaking your firing pin.I like them even with frame mounted firing pin designs like Ruger. Also you can practice loading. I use tem in all my firearms. Handguns, rifles and shotguns. I tell all our new officers to do dry-firing at least a couple times a week. It's helped me over the years. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 18:41, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

i have tried its japanese name Sukūru Ramburu still noting has come up, so im wandering if i could make a page

im new to editing these pages its just the pics i have trouble with

my page is still unfinished, when you look at it you can see what the problem is, sorry im still new to making pages like this. just need to know how to get those images right with the text

its just the cover of the anime that im stuck with now, sorry i must be bothering you now

i guess its fine.
Thanks for the help :)
im still stumped on what gun Oji kurasuma has i dunno what it is. but i guess someone who does know will change it.

my dad took my laptop off me yesterday so, sorry if i was unresponsive. i was going to make the changes. but thanks anyway, you've been a real help :)

==RE: gun discussions==

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner...I have no problem with allowing some discussions of guns, as long as they don't deviate too much from the scope of the site. I mostly just hate people using the talk pages for the kind of discussions we saw on the Beretta 92 page, because I think that kind of stuff makes us look bad. Also, some of those topics on the 1911 page look to me like they were started by an anonymous user who seems to be a bit of a poser (I remember he started a topic on the M16 page where he said he liked M16A1s better than A2s because you can "spray" with an M16A1, LOL). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 12:48, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for watching my back. Actually it's pretty easy to revert those pics, but I'll start protecting them, but there are almost 700 custom pics I've uploaded ;) yeow. We can do them when we get to them. What is this guy thinking? A high resolution shot of a gun that's already IN motion picture armorer inventory? That makes it a little more site relevant than some snapshot of some dude's private property gun in his back yard. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

==Raw Deal==
Well, I usually put 'screen used' on the caption if it is indeed a screen used gun. That's a build up. As you can see, the choke is slightly different. That was taken from a Browning Field shotgun and 'crammed' onto the Mossberg LOL! Also the original movie Mossberg was a different finish than mine. And also the original gun was lost or destroyed sometime in 1990 on another movie set so it is no longer (from what an armorer friend told me) but that was yet another off hand comment, second hand, so I can't verify it. Either way, that gun was just like the Hollowpoint Type 84S or the Dawn of the Dead Remington 870. Built up by [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] for imfdb using the parts (which I have) :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

==Mac-uzi?==
Are you kidding? For one, that gun is hella gay. Two, those parts were made back in the 1970s from scratch when armorers had trouble getting Uzis (the early 70s the Uzi was hot, Presidential security, the Raid on Entebbe, the gun was all in the news). Why would I have 35 year old fake gun parts that aren't even correct and were custom made in a metal fabrication shop to fit a MAC-10? :D So I guess the answer is HELL NO. No gay fake franken guns here! LOL!!!!!! [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

:This is a memory I've brought up before, but I remember going into a K-Mart probably thirty-five years ago with my dad and walking out (dad & I) with a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in .357 magnum. What's amazing is here in my town there is a drugstore (yes an old fashioned drugstore with an honest to go lunch counter) that sells both handguns and long-guns as well as ammo, fishing equipment and so on. A few years ago I purchased a Ruger Blackhawk from them just to help support a local business. Going into that store is like walking through a time-warp.

:It's definitely possible the barrels were swapped out for a later movie, though I can't imagine which one. Also, as far as the Glock in ''[[Eraser]]'' being a G21, it's possible, but it's also a bit strange to me because the opening credits scene shows a Glock 17 being loaded (the mags aren't long enough to be G21 mags). Though of course, the opening credits gun wasn't necessarily the gun used by Arnie in the rest of the movie. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:11, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

==RE: M1911A1 disclaimer==

Sure, I think that would a good disclaimer to add. I also wonder if we should add the info about how most firing 1911s in movies are 9mm derivatives (like the Mark IV Series 70 or Star Model B). But this has been a big problem. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:08, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

:''The Mark IV Series 70 in 9mm while it was available they aren't all that common, I very rarely see them come up for sale. (maybe the armories bought them all).''

:You'd have to ask one of our armorers about this, but I would guess that could very well be true! Also, because movie guns always get sent out on lots of shows, it's possible for them to be disproportionately represented in Hollywood compared to real life (I've seen too many movies and TV shows that have had bad guys using the SIG P220 and P226 Sport models, which are pretty rare and hard to find.)

:And yes, it's possible to re-chamber a .45-caliber 1911 to fire 9mm blanks. It's also not uncommon for gunsmiths to re-chamber weapons to fire more commonly available cartridges (i.e. re-chambering Japanese Arisaka rifles to shoot .30-.06 blanks). I have no idea how common this is with 1911s, though. The impression I've usually been under is that .45 ACP 1911s were used mostly for non-firing, the 9mm Star Model B or Mark IV Series 70 were used in firing. I dunno when gunsmiths in the industry started figuring out how to make 1911s function more reliably with .45 ACP blanks, but I'm guessing it wasn't until some time in the 1980s or 1990s, which would explain why 9mm pistols were still more common than other calibers up until recently. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 05:01, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

:::In early gangster films you see Colt 1911's that were not converted to blanks but were still live fire weapons. The 1911's and 1911a1 are a delayed blow back weapon and were more difficult to convert than the straight blow back pistol like the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless. Also the .45 ACP blanks were made from a cut down .30-06 cartridge and were mainly used in the Colt Thompson Submachine Guns but the 1911 had some issues due to the hard rifle primers. So you will see most 1911 and 1911A1's used in film prior to 1950 firing one shot since they were not converted to blanks or a mock up 1911 that has a small revolver inside an aluminum shroud to stand in for a 1911 when firing multiple rounds. About 1950 the Star Model B was brought in to the US for sale and several studios and armories purchased these since 9mm blanks worked and a conversion on a delayed blow back weapon was developed. From 1950 through the mid 80's the Star Model B, Colt 9mm and Colt .38 Supers with a 9mm barrel were used. About 1985 a new .45 blank cartridge was developed that used a large pistol primer allowing the armories to activate there 1911's to fire reliably. The Stembridge had both Colt 1911 and GI 1911A1 in there inventory also had Colt 9mm Series 70. They did try to convert 45's to 9mm but had problems due to the larger breach face in the 45 slide compared to the 9mm slide. The rentals of 9mm 1911 pistol have slowed down when the .45 came on line but they still go out on shows when a Propmaster wants to limit the amount of different blanks on set. Hope this helps some it will be hard to decipher pistol types unless you study the photos closely. --[[User:Phoenixent|phoenixent]] 23:36, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

The machine pistol used on [[Public Enemies]] was originally a 38 Super converted to 9mm. It's a funny thing with those machine pistols that the original ones built for Dillinger in the 30's were 38 super. I have seen Barstow barrels in 9mm plugged and modified for blanks in Stembridge parts bin so that gives some credence to converting 38 Supers to 9mm blank. Also Stembridge had great connections at Colt and they would build custom pistol in 9mm for Stembridge. The pistols used in Cobra were 38 Super National Match made in 9mm by Colt for Stembridge.--[[User:Phoenixent|phoenixent]] 04:21, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

:That photo from [[Cobra]] is nice as it shows the ejection port. Colt made that pistol in 45 ACP and 38 Super only but they did build it special order in 9mm for Stembridge according to Syd Stembridge. The firearms companies do a lot of special builds if the time allows for it. Ellis Mercantile had new S&W Highway Patrolman revolvers built by Smith & Wesson for [[A Perfect World]]. They sent S&W an original from inventory and then S&W built them almost exactly like the sample. --[[User:Phoenixent|phoenixent]] 17:14, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

:I had a 38 Super National Match with Elison rear sight in 1981 that came back from Mexico. The pistol came from a batch of guns imported by Odin International. As for the [[Cobra]] pistols Colt built them special in 9mm for Stembridge. That would be easy for Colt to do as the just run a couple of unfinished National Match slides though the 9mm machine operations for the firing pin hole, Extractor Hole, Ejector Slot and Breach Face. It is a lot easier for the manufacturer to do those for us than trying to do it in house. We also have Glocks that are marked Glock 23 but are in 9mm blank again it another special build by Glock for one of the armories. You are correct on Clint's revolver in [[A Perfect World]] as a Model 19. But they ordered the Model 28's for the show I am not sure who used them in the show just knew they were ordered and they went out on the show.--[[User:Phoenixent|phoenixent]] 17:43, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

:: On the Glock 23 in 9mm some scripts call specifically for the Glock 23 since that is what the FBI use at this time. But to make things easier for the armorer or propmaster we had them made in 9mm instead of 40 cal. There are 40 cal Glocks in other armories as I have used them on some films but it would have been easier if it was 9mm as we had other 9mm pistols on the show. No problem on using what I told you about 45 blanks and I can get more info to fill it out for you. I will be talking to the guys about a new category for IMFDB on studios and armories of the past that should include a page on motion picture blanks. It depends on what the conversion was on the revolver. I have seen several from back in the early days with the cylinder bored or shaved for 5 in 1 blanks. Also we have some revolvers the have the barrels plugged and ported in different directions for close up use. It's very rare now a days for a revolver to be modified due to caliber as we have access to almost all calibers of brass. But we do still modify the barrels for the close in shots but usually on a spare barrel. The industry looks at it's guns as just props to assist in make a film so we due think that would make collectors cry like the 1st gen Colt Single Action with the bent barrel in the movie [[Unforgiven]]. The gunsmith was told to use one of the single actions on the rack so he did what was told. --[[User:Phoenixent|phoenixent]] 17:33, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

:: Sure thing. That would simplify things. I finally discovered the identity of the Model 21 because I bought the 1965 edition of ''Gun Digest'' at a used bookstore today. Mainly because I thought it might help with identifying older more obscure firearms (which it did) plus I like reading old gun articles from the past forty-seventy years.

:: Ok, thanks. Hmm, funny coincidence with Tarantino and the 1911. One can't help but wonder if it's a conscious choice... Anyways, back here in Finland, it's like UK or New York for us "gun-nuts". Not a lot of people do ,for example, gun-related sports (well, other than hunting I guess) in here, especially young people. It's a tough nut getting a firearm. And if you are into guns/or have a gun (other than basic hunting rifles/shotguns) people thinks you're nuts :D (I had a point here somewhere, I think...) Anyways, when there's not a lot of people into guns, there ain't a lot of guns either. So if you wanna have a 1911 -type pistol, Norinco is the most easily acquirable, and more importantly, cheap. And I've heard a lot of people bad-mouthing the piece. As for myself, I don't like to judge anything if I haven't tried it myself. (<-applies for guns, not people :P) --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 00:40, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
:::: Yeah, we don't got a lot to choose from. I mean when you walk into a gun store in Finland... hmm, I don't think we even have other than a few gun shops in the whole country! Well, when you walk into a gun shop, or a hunting store, you got dozens of shotguns (O/U, pump-action, you name it), hunting rifles (Lot's of Finnish Sakos and Tikkas, then lots of others), and your .22s. I mean every place you go you have dozens of .22s, some basic every-guy-knows-them-guns (92FS, P226, etc.), and only a few others. I mean of course they can get them, but they're more... "special". If you ask for e.g. a Springfield 1911 TRP, they're gonna have to import it from somewhere. I've heard some people get the Norinco, and use it as a basis for something they wanna build. In here Norinco's are about 400€, give or take. Less if they're used. --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 01:28, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

==RE: AK==

First of all, I just viewed the auction, and it says someone bought it. Are you that someone? If not, this discussion is (sadly) moot.

Second, yes, $1K for a PT Legend is a really good deal. I paid about $950 for mine (in 2004), but mine is a stamped receiver, not milled. Milled receiver AKs are always more expensive. However, I'm personally a lot more partial to stamped; they're lighter and feel a lot less...antique, I guess.

As far as other brands: Norincos are pretty good, but their fit and finish isn't as good as PTs. In the 1980s, they were considered the bargain-price "no frills" AKs (they often sold for $300, which is crazy considering what they cost today). They're also built to almost the same specs as the PLA-issue Type 56 rifles, so if you want something identical to what Hamas militants or Iranian Revolutionary Guards carry, the Norincos are cheaper and closer to mil-spec.

Hungarians are my second-favorite after the PTs. I've handled an SA85M and it was quite possibly the most beautiful AK I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the FFL wanted $2,500 for it, and from what I've seen, it's hard to find one for under $2K because only about 7,000 were imported to this country before Bush, Sr. banned them in 1989. Right now, there are some manufacturers who are building SA85Ms by taking Hungarian parts kits and putting them on American-made receivers; I haven't seen one firsthand, but I would be suspicious of anything made in this country. American companies are never going to be as good at making AKs as their counterparts in Eastern Europe or East Asia, IMO.

-[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:13, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

:Sorry, I phrased that poorly. My gun isn't a Legend (Legends are milled receivers only). Mine says "AK47S" on the side of the receiver, and it was imported by Golden State Arms, which was one of Poly Tech's front companies in California. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:37, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

== Splitting Up by Season ==

It would be nice to split those shows by season, but I've found that both those shows as well as NCIS are pretty much the same each season so there would be a lot of overlap of weapons used. [[24]] was different because each season was pretty much a different story. [[Miami Vice]] had a lot of different weapons each season. Splitting Burn Notice and The Unit would mean having to go back and examine each episode of each season to reexamine which weapons went with each season. In other words, I would vote not to split.

Holy crap, I think you're right! When I saw the film the first time, I spotted the gun as a Series 80, peace of cake. I didn't care to think anymore, since I had already recognized it. I couldn't have even thought it to be not only 2, but maybe 3 different guns.
The second screencap looks like an M1911A1, as you already noticed. The third might as well be a Norinco, I mean they even used plastic shotguns for some scenes. I'll have to watch the film again to see if it changes even more. Thanks for spotting that, I appreciate it :) And thanks for the compliments --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 00:57, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

== Re: Killshot ==

Now that you mentioned, the Smith looks like a possible alternative. Btw, the film was full of continuity errors and such. A real nightmare. It didn't help production that they had to cut and re-shoot the movie several times.

But about the shotgun, I'ma wing it and say that it is a Winchester Model 1300, even though I don't know if they make it with a full synthetic stock with a regular mag tube. But the foregrip reminds me of the 1300 Defender...

I think you're correct, good catch! Still wish we could ID the other shotgun, though (the one with the long tube).

Also, as far as the Type 56 section goes: I think it's fine to add a note that they were originally made with milled receivers. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 08:06, 9 March 2011 (MSK)

:Yeah, I think it's a Hatsan. Also, I don't know if the tube is unsupported; I think it's just that the connector blends with the suit of the agent in the background. Also, I'm pretty sure that same shotgun appears later in the movie, and it definitely doesn't have an unsupported tube. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 08:23, 9 March 2011 (MSK)

== Just to point out since I can't post on the forums (don't have permission): ==

Burt's argument is basically that "RPG" is not the correct term to use to describe an RPG; I've shown him links to BAE Systems and the US Army using the term to describe a class of weapons, but he insists they're incorrect as if he's somehow in a position to overrule experts in the defence industry and the military on what the correct term is. This is why he wants to remove "RPG" from all mentions of the Type 69; he thinks it can only be applied to the RPG-X series of weapons, not to RPG weapons in general or their warheads. Given he's seemingly immune to logic, fixated on "correcting" things that aren't wrong, [http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=upload&user=BurtReynoldsMoustache&page=&year=&month=-1 doesn't contribute anything of merit] and edits the same articles in the same way, I'm fairly sure he's actually good old PersonOfInterest; this probably explains why he's trying to describe me as a "troublemaker" (I haven't caused anything resembling trouble in years, last I checked; "good contributor" is probably a better label) since I disagreed with him before. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:48, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

*Further to that, here's something fun: PersonOfInterest's last activity is [http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/PersonOfInterest 26th August 2010]. He made a new account and came back (and got banned again) just under a month later on [http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/PersonOfInterest2 September 28th]. [http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&target=BurtReynoldsMoustache Burt's first edit is a month and four days later] and he's soon back to editing Goldeneye and the N64 The World Is Not Enough, which were POI's weird little obsessions. He also has that POI quirk of often taking two tries to sign talk page edits, if he bothers to sign them at all (look for places where he edits a talk page twice in a row, including his first two edits). Interesting, huh? Another little thing: [http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:007:_The_World_Is_Not_Enough&diff=prev&oldid=363154 the user who posted the top comment was PersonOfInterest]. How come "both" of them think this is the right way to say things on a talk page? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 08:49, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

**Well, people seem to be seeing through his rather ridiculous attempts at character assassination on the forums (yeah, I'm a disruptive user, damn me for posting over a hundred screencaps in the last five days while he's never posted a single one ever). It's basically common sense: if the experts say something and a random person on the internet says something else, the experts are going to be the ones in the right. Anyway, I've copy-pasted the POI stuff to MT2008, so we'll see what he makes of it. Any idea why I can't post on the forums?

==RE: Feast==

Now that you mentioned it, it seem like the shotgun used in [[Feast]] definitely changes during the film. The trigger guard looks like it's from a Winchester, but the pins resemble Remington. Damn, I guess I'm gonna have to watch it again, to get a good look at it. It's been a couple of years since I saw the film, and just recently I upgraded the pics used on the page to .jpgs. It was one of my first pages, so I wasn't familiar with how the site works, and I initially uploaded them as .pngs. The .pngs are still here somewhere, I couldn't write them over with my .jpegs. I guess they can still be deleted, though? --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 14:24, 19 April 2011 (CDT)

I tried to do a little Googling but I found nothing enlighting. My dad said that he had subscribed to a Finnish gun magazine when he was younger. So I went to my father's attic and found a stack of old Finnish gun magazines. One of them had a big shotgun comparison article. Still nothing, altough the article itself was very interesting. Coulde the shotgun in the film be like a chinese copy of the 870? Oh and I found a couple of screenshots I hadn't used for the page, I think I'll upload some of them to get some better images. Ps.

I thought the consensus was that they were basically spam and bunni's take on it was "The outbound links need to be removed and the images (he) uploaded need to be off the main pages and on the discussion pages unless they are actual screen used props."

Hi friend, I replied to your comment on that movie which is apparantly so insulting it needs a special disclaimer.

:::Dear mister Tec-9, quoted below is one of your comments: '''''"If the people who run this place feel that is an offense or breach to the rules of this wiki, then I'd be happy for them to ban me. It just proves this wiki is run by ignorant red-neck gun-lovers who lack the open-mindedness and moderateness to question the actions of their service members. "''''' You IMMEDIATELY cop an attitude and insult the people on this site. If our biases are so egregious, you Mister Tec-9 are welcome to go elsewhere. The Mods of IMFDB have banned tons of guys who violate the rules. Having a foul attitude or elitist demeanor is not one of them. Don't parade your self important "I am non biased" BS and try to make changes that are inappropriate. Your comments already belie a pre-existing bias. You have a bias against gun "lovers", 'rednecks' and "Americans" or you wouldn't use the terms as an insult. You obviously don't care that unlike [[Casualties of War]]. the film [[Redacted]] came out in the middle of a conflict, stoking the fires of Anti-American hatred, giving a huge propaganda boot to the enemy, stoking anger and hatred when our men and women are out there risking their lives to fight terrorism. This arrogant insulting tome usually manifests itself when we encounter European or Foreign based IMFDB members. Now I don't know where you hail from, but your attitude immediately rubbed me the wrong way. :) best regards MPM2008

I wont ruin Predator20's page, in writing my arguememt against your statement, so please check out that page. And I'd just like to add that they are not fighting terrorism - you used to be able to enjoy a nice cold beer an a bellydance at a decent hang-out in Baghdad before, now alcohol is banned and the government in Iraq is run by the Ayatollah Islamist scumbags in Iran, with Persians and terrorists crawling out of the woodwork everywhere. US soldiers have caused more suffering to innocent Iraqis than terrorists. Also, please feel free to reply back on my Wiki page for further discussion.

'''Predator20:''' Thanks again for the reply. I do completely agree, that the term "The members" should probably be changed to "Some members". However, a IMFDB lacks a comprehensive framework of just how many members need to be express insult at any particular film for it to have a disclaimer. Also, even if we say 'X-number of members need to express insult for a disclaimer', this will be open for abuse by people who'll herd in loads of new members just to get that disclaimer. And finally, IMFDB is a wiki to document movies - it should have no place for opinions - no matter how burning some members feel they are. This will keep it's credibility as an unbiased source for everyone as opposed to a politicied forum. Members can also always join the plethora of Right-Wing/Conservative NRA-type forums out there to express such opinions. I feel this is the first step of a very slippery slope in the politicisation of this place.

==RE: .38 Supers==
Yeah, I remember that talk with Steve as well. I can't remember for sure, but I think the gun from Public Enemies was a 9mm from the start (I've looked over the image of it though and can't tell). But he said that there are currently no registered .38 Super blank guns in Hollywood armories. Since someone on the Desperado page claimed the 1911 looked like a .38 Super, I corrected it because if today .38 Super blank guns are unheard of, it's highly improbable that one was used in a low-budget film from 1994. The only chance is if they were being supplied by an armorer in Mexico while filming there, since .38 Super is the largest military caliber permitted, giving it a higher chance of being used in place of a .45. Like you said though, it's very likely a 9mm Series 80, and not a Colt Super .38. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:I stand corrected. I misremembered what he said I guess. Matt sent me the picture as well, it didn't click with me that the pre-series 70s weren't sold in 9mm. My bad. >.< - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

This guy has done random censors (by using asterisks in the word) on a few pages now and frankly, I've become annoyed.

The rules state to keep swears to a minimum, not to censor them entirely, and also it relates to user comments and article descriptions, not movie quotes. I could be incorrect but that's simply how I interpret it. I've left him a message on his talk page and Ben's but I wanted to bring this to the attention of other Admins as well, because I'm seriously starting to consider it a problem. I've posted this to you and JCordell so far (in addition to Ben) but I think I'll stop and let you guys go from here.

== Variations of guns missing in overview ==

Sorry to bother but there's a thing I hope you can help me out with.

A few months ago you were kind enough to add the Bruni 92 to the Beretta 92 page. Do you have any idea why this particular gun (and e.g. the Springfield Armory Omega which I added on the M1911A1 page yesterday), don't show up in overviews when you type their names? For instance, when I choose the search function on the left side of the screen, and go to 'B' for bruni, then there's no trace of the Bruni 92.

Aren't variations of guns like e.g. Beretta 92 and Colt M1911A1 supposed to show up in the search function and does one need to scroll down from the 'mother' model? In any way, look forward to have your opinion on this. Thanks a lot --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 06:20, 27 August 2011 (CDT)

Hey Predator20, that vandal that's been abusing all those accounts came back under the username: JD0556, I think I may have talked some sense into him this time, so he might have stopped for good, but do you think you can't keep an eye on incase he does whenever I'm not around?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 22:55, 8 September 2011 (CDT)

I have access to four (4) cut down Ted Williams Model 21 shotguns. If you want, I can check and see if there is a model that matches the look of the others, just let me know which films you want me to look at.

== A little help... ==

Hello again. I just screencapped the page ''[[Hannibal Rising]]'', and there's a [[Hannibal_Rising#Unknown_Heavy_Machine_Gun|heavy machine gun]] I do not recognize. At first I thought it was a [[DShK]], but then again I'm not sure. Do you perhaps know what it is? --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 08:44, 12 September 2011 (CDT)

== WTF? ==

I wanted to add tens of download links (none not tested by myself and virus free), thought to try only a few times since I wasn't sure if it was allowed, why was I accused of "spamming" and IP banned?

Here you go:

Crap. Just my luck. I'm presented with FOUR cut down Model 21s. I grab the one with the flush cut because at the time I think that's what IMFDB needs.

He's been warned by Alienqueen11 to knock it off ([[User_talk:Cbeattie#Hey]]) but the first thing he did when his ban expired was go straigh back to harassing the same user over the same issue; Mr. Wolf has ''repeatedly'' told him he's never played the game and doesn't care for this discussion.

== Automated notices after revisions/new comments on pages ==

Sorry to take your time but as a semi-novice on IMFDB, I would appreciate your expert input. I have created a number of pages already (movies, guns, actors...) and of course people have made changes to them, which is of course the fun of IMFDB. However, I only see these changes when I check 'my' pages manually and with the number of pages increasing by time, this is not ideal.

Would you have any suggestion as to how I could keep track of revisions/updates on pages that I originally created? This way I can see all comments, respond in a timely manner and learn from others. In an ideal situation, you'd have automated notices (like the ones generated for new posts on MyTalk pages) but maybe you are aware of other options. Thanks a bunch, --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 07:40, 26 September 2011 (CDT)

== Spammer + ones to watch ==

[[User:Nm7efSk94]] is another spammer, and registered a couple of days back. I'd also kill [[User:Lcb63g9Yk]] as it was registered around the same time (and at the same time that "Aiai00125" was registered) and is the same pattern, username made with a password generator, I guess to stop us blocking common strings if it's just working from a list. [[User:Solow6s]] registered around the same time as that "CAllgood50" guy you dealt with the other night and seems to follow a theme (price being so low / all good). [[User:Raul00977]] is the same name format as Aiai00125 (four letters with initial capital, five numbers with two leading zeroes). [[User:Tempfile]] is another worth watching; weird username, hasn't done anything at all after registering. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 06:28, 28 September 2011 (CDT)

Also, kinda weird that Nm7efSk94's spam message didn't actually include any links. Botfail, I guess. I can't imagine Ford would hire a spam company to post PR material for the Focus. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 06:40, 28 September 2011 (CDT)

:New one: [[User:Curt923028]]. Four letters / initial capital again, but now new and improved with six totally random numbers. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 09:45, 28 September 2011 (CDT)
Just to let you know. We have another incoming group of spammers that registered around the same time period: [[User:6qzWH3fiyS]], [[User:Hws5i2iS3]], and [[User:3f8WoqN8]]. They are using the same distinctive username format as the other users. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 08:04, 29 September 2011 (CDT)

::[[User:3f8WoqN8]] was using an IP address from my ISP ([http://www.orange.co.uk/ Orange], a UK ISP), and I briefly ended up banned until I turned my router off and on again. Orange has an actual, proper TOU that it enforces; we should probably get Bunni to send the IP and access times to them and see if we can get rid of this guy for good. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 06:44, 30 September 2011 (CDT)

:::Ok. Sadly I forgot to make a note of the banned IP, but we have action from him on 30/09/11 at 2:47 GMT, and he registered 29/09/11 at 06:19 GMT. According to the [http://www.orange.co.uk/images/editorial/Home-Network-Terms-010911.pdf TOU] you can't use the service "to send or procure the sending of any unsolicited advertising or promotional material" (18.1.4). [http://www1.orange.co.uk/documents/about/Orange-complaints-code-20110118.pdf This] is the complaints procedure, which I think would apply to this. So all you need to do is pass this stuff and his IP to Bunni and see if he can make fireworks appear under this guy's ass. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 07:06, 30 September 2011 (CDT)

This might be something to do with Bunni's new host, actually. I just looked up that IP: [http://www.ipchecking.com/?ip=173.245.53.76&check=Lookup look at the whois information]. It's somehow autoblocked one of ''CloudFlare's'' servers rather than what I thought (one of my ISP's addresses), which I imagine means it's just dinging random users who are served by it. So what I said above doesn't apply. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 10:06, 30 September 2011 (CDT)

== Weapon Naming Question ==

Hello.

I wanted to inquire about one standard that is absent from [[Rules, Standards and Principles]] page. The weapon naming. If the weapon was called incorrectly in the first place, is it allowable for users to change it to correct one, provided they provide serious sources (that is, not some unsourced Wikipedian stub)?

An example of such weapon is '''SVU''' (incorrectly called 'SVU Dragunov', as I was explaining on the [[Talk:SVD Dragunov|corresponding talk page]]. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 07:56, 13 November 2011 (CST)

==Mythbusters==

Hey man. Thanks for the help with the Mythbusters page. To answer your question, I'm trying to put them in Alphabetical order. Seemed to make the most sense to me... I'm just learning to use this site so bear with me.
Also I agree with you that the 1911 looks like a Colt Series 70. If you feel like it, go ahead and change it. The Colt Series 70 also needs to be added to the 1911 page.
Thanks again.

== Top Shot ==

I noticed that you seem to be the admin for the Top Shot page. I have been updating it over the past few days and it's started to get pretty full. With at least a 4th season on the way, should we maybe split the page up into a separate page for each season? I have a feeling people with a slower internet connection will have a hell of a time trying to open this page. Let me know your thoughts.
--[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 21:50, 5 December 2011 (CST)

:I just had another user ([[User:Ben41]]) tell me that the non-guns had to be removed from the main page of each season of [[Top Shot]]... Since you're an admin i want to check with you regarding this. I really feel that they belong on the main page. They play a pivotal role in the show and are the focus of attention when in use. It also is for "completeness" sake. I don't want to only list 20 out of 24 weapons. In a movie, when you see a kid playing with a paintball gun for 10 seconds, I agree that THAT would not belong on the main page. Also, I feel that anyone unfamiliar with the sight who finds them selves here looking at the weapons will not know to check the discussion page (personally i never looked at a discussion page until I joined the site after using it for months to look things up). I found at least three other cases where this is NOT the way it is done. In [[Rambo (2008)]] for example, the machete and bow are included on the main page. Same with the Custom Torque Bow in [[Predator]]. Finally in [[Punisher, The (2004)| The Punisher]] the compound bow is included. I would appreciate your input on this.--[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 15:52, 7 December 2011 (CST)

:Since posting the above message I have learned that Ben41 is also an administrator and I made a few mistakes with my handling of his changes. I still disagree with the removal of the non-gun items from the main page however, particularly things like the canon and the crossbow both of which have presidents for being included on the main page.

On another subject, is there an easy way to rename a photo? I have uploaded a couple of pictures only to find out i thought they were the wrong gun.

Hey. I got another question for you. I noticed that some pages don't have the category listings (Handguns, Shotguns, Machineguns, etc.). Is there a rule of thumb for when to use or not to use the headings? Obviously if the movie has only 2 guns, or only handguns it isn't necessary. Just wondering. Thanx! --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 10:52, 12 December 2011 (CST)

==M1911==
Thanks for the RIA change. I've said before that I'm NOT an M1911 expert. There are guys who obsess over that gun and read every book on the subject. I'm just learning to recognize the details ''(got lots of weapons to remember after all, just recently had to teach another gun guy how to assemble the three types of Uzis - full size, mini and Micro)''. If the gun afficionados don't have a bad attitude, they can be a true asset to IMFDB. People can point out mistakes without exhibiting jerkish behavior. :) I'm just working my butt off trying to get good pics of movie weapons (under difficult circumstances). YOU can pretty much change or correct any description of my pics, if you know on good authority otherwise. :) I don't get all bent out of shape when '''trusted''' mods and members make corrections. I go by the tags, and sometimes the tags are wrong. People forget that these guns aren't in some public display where the ID tags have to be 100% verified. In fact many of these weapons are '''NEVER''' seen by the eyes of the general public, except in a movie/tv show ..''' or here''' :) Good to know you're working so hard to improve IMFDB on a daily basis. :) Oh, and happy holidays.

You must hate me for continually bombarding you with questions... Hope you know I'm only doing it cause I want to make sure I am helping and not just causing problems... Also you are so much smarter than me... Anyway enough kissing up... With guns that have Variations ([[Heckler & Koch P2000]] or [[Heckler & Koch USP]] for example), should each subcategory have its own specifications with the different length, capacity, etc. For example should the [[Heckler & Koch P2000]] have just one specifications section for the page or should there be one for the H&K P2000 and one for the H&K P2000SK. (This is the way I did the page but I want to make sure that this is ok.

== I need you or another admins help, my other account was blocked wrongfully. ==

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I am having. Admin "Evil Tim" blocked me for no reason thinking I was some guy named "Burt", which I am not, my name is Danny. I tryed to contact him about it on my blocked account "Glock17gen4", but it wouldnt let me so I'm forced to use this account I made. I tryed to contact him and I have no received a reply, I think he is ignoring the msg or something. I was wondering if you could help and unblock my other account, thanks. [[User:SaferSephiroth|SaferSephiroth]] 16:24, 7 April 2012 (CDT)

== Thank you for helping, but Evil Tim blocked me again... ==

Yes, he thinks I am this Burt Reynolds Mustache guy, I dont know why, it seems he doesnt check IPs before blocking. He says he thinks I am that person because I changed the gun on the Perfect Dark page to the one on the Goldeneye 007 page. I only did that because the "classic guns" in PD are based off the ones in GE 007, I was only going off what I thought was accurate, and at the time the GE 007 page said the DD44/CC13 was the Tokaypt or whatever, I was fooled I guess. I am sorry I didn't know that it was actually the Tokarev, but I am not Burt Reynold's Mustache(lol) and I really wish to be unblocked again, I wish there was a way to explain to Evil Tim that I am not that user besides the fact that my IP would be different than his.

== Kampfpistole ==

Thanks for your remarks, they make perfect sense. I did not check my e-mail in the last few minutes so I was totally unaware that somebody else (you) was working on the same page. This way we can keep eachother busy, right? My apologies for driving you crazy!

Reason that I wanted to rename 'Walther Kampfpistole' to a more generic 'Kampfpistole' is that today I read an about the history of this gun. Originally a flare pistol ("Heeresmodell 1934"), from 1943 onwards it was produced by both Walther and Erma as ‘Kamppistole’ (no further numeric nomination) having a big 'Z' on the side indicating that it had 'Zuege' (German for grooves) so that small explosive charges could be fired more accurately. The article did not indicate an original designing manufacturer so I figured removing ‘Walther’ would be the right thing to do. If you say that Walther is indeed the company where it all started, then I can only agree to keep matters as they are.

As for the LP-42, I see what you mean. Problem is that ‘Kampfpistole’ is actually a very generic name simply meaning ‘battle pistol’ (just like ‘assault rifle’ may apply to AK-47 and M16 alike). In this case, both guns are correctly referred to as ‘Kampfpistole’ but they are of completely different design. As such, I would suggest to remove the ‘Kampfpistole Z’ image from the LP-42 page, leave matters as they are and not merge, wouldn’t you agree?

By the way, what do you mean by “please don't edit war, it doesn't help”? I am not aware I have been changing anything else today than the Kampfpistole. Take care, let me know what you think and Merry Christmas, --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 10:36, 24 December 2011 (CST)

:Good to see your remarks, be my guest to make changes; I will stay away from the subject for a few days hahaha Not sure of you are aware, but 'Leuchtpistole' is yet another generic nomination. It's German for 'Flare Pistol' so I think it would not be correct to put all 'Leuchtpistols' on one page, not in the least because the designs are very different.

==This guys is crazy==
He's a raving asshat. He's another Liam, save for the fact he does know his 1911s. But he's also being a jerk. Okay, so M1911 is the MILITARY designation, the Colt Govt. Model is the company's name for the pistols they sold to the public. M1911 is used by a lot of people as a generic description for that type of pistol. When I say Commercial M1911, I mean a commercial version of the M1911. There is nothing actually erroneous about that description. But think about it. People KNOW the difference between the M1911 and the M1911A1, they know that there were improvements made between the wars. Just calling them the Govt Model doesn't help people to ultimately get to know the difference. Boy, I sure attract a lot of guys who hate on me. This guy needs anger management. Now if we need to update the descriptions, we can. On his conduct, you were right. His rage makes him an unacceptable element on IMFDB. Doesn't matter how much he knows. If he becomes that abusive that quickly, then he is not the personality type that moves IMFDB forward. Thanks for the note. I think I (we as in you're a mod too) need to come up with a code of conduct that warns people to be polite. There are sites out there that are so deathly afraid of offending someone's sensibilities or their freedom of speech, that they are often held hostage by people who promote bad behavior.

For example, if you look at the [[M1911A1]], about halfway down the Films section [[Nowhere to Run]] (1993) is listed, but there is no page for it. Should it be removed when I convert it to a table?

== Top Shot - Season 3 ==

Hey man. I saw your edit on [[Top Shot - Season 3]]. While I get what your saying that revolvers technically are pistols... That distinction isn't made elsewhere on the site. For example, the [[NCIS]] and [[Burn Notice]] pages, some of the most popular on the site, list '''Pistols''' and '''Revolvers'''. It seems like an unnecessary distinction to make... I respect my elders and know you are an admin, I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest or anything but it just seems unnecessary to me, particularly since that isn't the way it is done elsewhere on the site. Thoughts? --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 15:44, 23 February 2012 (CST)
:IMHO, it seems like '''Pistols''' and '''Revolvers''' fall under the overall heading of '''Handguns'''... "When distinguished as a subset of handguns, a pistol is a handgun with a chamber that is integral with the barrel, as opposed to a revolver, wherein the chamber is separate from the barrel as a revolving cylinder." Webster gives a similar definition. I take back what I said previously. Based on a little more research it seems that a "pistol" always refers to a Handgun where the chamber is integrated in the barrel. For example, a [[Derringer]] would be a pistol despite not being semi-auto. Any handgun with a rotating cylinder would be a revolver and they would all fall under the overall category of '''Handguns'''. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 16:48, 23 February 2012 (CST)

== Top Shot - Season 3 ==

Hey man. I saw your edit on [[Top Shot - Season 3]]. While I get what your saying that revolvers technically are pistols... That distinction isn't made elsewhere on the site. For example, the [[NCIS]] and [[Burn Notice]] pages, some of the most popular on the site, list '''Pistols''' and '''Revolvers'''. It seems like an unnecessary distinction to make... I respect my elders and know you are an admin, I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest or anything but it just seems unnecessary to me, particularly since that isn't the way it is done elsewhere on the site. Thoughts? --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 15:44, 23 February 2012 (CST)
:IMHO, it seems like '''Pistols''' and '''Revolvers''' fall under the overall heading of '''Handguns'''... "When distinguished as a subset of handguns, a pistol is a handgun with a chamber that is integral with the barrel, as opposed to a revolver, wherein the chamber is separate from the barrel as a revolving cylinder." Webster gives a similar definition. I take back what I said previously. Based on a little more research it seems that a "pistol" always refers to a Handgun where the chamber is integrated in the barrel. For example, a [[Derringer]] would be a pistol despite not being semi-auto. Any handgun with a rotating cylinder would be a revolver and they would all fall under the overall category of '''Handguns'''. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 16:48, 23 February 2012 (CST)

So I'm in the middle of leaving a message for Commandoninja137 (the guy who created the SOCOM 4 page, if were calling 'that' a page...) warning him that the page was about to be deleted because of his lack of effort. I had JUST added the ''nuke'' tag to the page right before i posted the message on his discussion page. When i posted it with the <nowiki>[[SOCOM 4]]</nowiki> tag, the link came up in red. I'm thinking "huh, I musta mispelled it"... but no. You beat me to the punch and got rid of the page literally seconds after I nuked it.

==Site down==
Was it my imagination or was IMFDB down for at least one day? Is this something we should be concerned about? :) Was it the server change over? Things DO LOOK much faster right now. :) Hope everything is okay and we haven't moved the servers to Haiti or some other hurricane ravaged place. ;) MPM2008

==Hey==
Hey Bunni, thanks for helping me create the Resident Evil page, just to let you know it's all done. Also, I wanted to know if you allowed 18th century weapons on this site too because I'm thinking about doing a page on The Last Samurai. Thanks.

== Reply ==

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure it was okay with you before I started, and no problem, it was fun creating the Resident Evil page.

== The Last Samurai is finished ==

Hey Bunni, I just wanted to let you know The Last Samurai page is finished, but some of the images I put up might need to be fixed. Sorry to bother you about it, but I don't know how to make the images fit together as well as you can. And also, I noticed you are creating a page on Heroes. I know a website where you can find the guns used on the show, go to this site:

http://heroeswiki.com/Main_Page

And search weapons, and it should bring you to a page that shows you the weapons that are used in the show, hope it helps.

== Taking a short break. ==

Hey Bunni, I just want to let you know I'll be taking a short break so I can think of a film to make a page about next. Also, thanks for editing the pages Orca and I made and putting them on Wikipedia.

== Image:Prof-Case.jpg semi-autos ==

Took a look at the pistols in Image:Prof-Case.jpg, and I believe the one in the back is a Beretta Inox while the one in the front seems to be some sort of custom job using a 1911 frame. I think the revolver -might- be a Taurus of some kind. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:02, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, that looks like the gun. RE: Apocalypse should be done today, I just have to add three more guns.

== Re: Scarface ==

Thanks, I also like the job you did on Saving Private Ryan, you take better pictures then I do! Also, it might be awhile before I make another movie page, I have to get more Fullscreen dvds because most of my dvds are in Widescreen, and my picture don't come out so good with the two black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, but I'll do as much as I can. And thanks again for commenting my work on Scarface.

== The Beretta/M16 issue ==

I think that the [[M16 rifle series]] page should be kept together, since the guns listed on the page are essentially the same weapon, though giving the Beretta 93R its' own page is possible, so long as it's done well and kept up to the same quality standards as the other gun pages on the site.

Why did you delete the M1911A1 pistol from the ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' article? That weapon is indeed used in there by the Delta Force operators. In the scene at the beginning of the film where Blackburn and Eversmann first meet, you can see one of the Deltas draw and fire his M1911A1 on the shooting range. It is also used by Delta snipers Shughart and Gordon in their ill-fated attempt to defend the second crash site. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 20:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

== About [[Snatch]] ==

There are a bunch of pictures of the S&W 686 being used, but when you click the pics, it says they're Colt Pythons. The pictures aren't that clear, so I can't be too sure, but at least one (the pic with the titles in it and the arm in the picture) is very likely not a Colt Python. The Python has a noticeable "railing" on the top of the barrel. S&Ws don't. The "Boris" picture, though, does look like a Python, although the top of the gun is hard to see.

== RE: SVT-40 ==

It's too big to upload here, but here's an imageshack link:

I paid about $300 for mine after a large number were imported to Canada, they're going for $400-$500 now as they got bought up. We got them because Russia signed a agreement with the Clinton government not to export certain firearms (including the SVT-40) to the US.

I will warn you, it's a real pain to strip, so if you're at all lazy about cleaning don't fire surplus ammo in it. I use Igman and Bell almost exclusively, it's still pretty cheap and I don't feel bad about firing it in some of my rarer rifles.

== Shooter ==

Hey Bunni, can you please upload more images for [[Shooter]] when you get the chance, I want to see more great screenshots. I'll greatly appreciate it, thanks.

==Re:Platoon==
Thanks. I still got plenty to do. It should be done in an hou or two.

By the way, why did you pick Platoon for the front page? Just curious.

And if okay with you, you should add some of the larger articles like [[Hard Boiled]] (biggest with 54 guns) or one of my lesser ones like [[Last Action Hero]]. Or find articles that convey the different time periods. My [[Quigley Down Under]] page shows the 19th century side of the site. [[Heat]] should definately deserve a spot on the main page, being such an infamous gun movie. Sorry to advertize my work, I'm just shooting some ideas. Great site, still got many more articles to come. On my to-do list are Rambo II & III, and I got this western film called "Young Guns" to do. I might do [[The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly]] eventually. Weekends will be my time to shine now that I'm back to school. -[[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

I'm trying to make the front page code function again so that we can see the same stuff we used to see, but no go.

It might be the fact that I'm viewing the site on a laptop with a pretty small 13" screen, but I also viewed the site this morning on my desktop at work, which has a 19" monitor, and again...no difference in image quality that I could see.

I think I've found a solution, I found that if I change my Magnification from 100% to 101%, the images on the pages look fine, the page is a little wider, but it looks better.

Not just my own either...old favorites like ''[[Heat]]'' (still our most popular) and ''[[The Matrix]]'', as well as various articles from the past few months by myself, Gunmaster, MoviePropMaster, and Orca. My criteria was to add thorough pages that have screencaps for all of the guns listed, and which generally meet high standards. This is, of course, your site, so feel free to judge which pages meet your standards for the Main Page, but I just think we should make sure we're promoting the best pages by our users.

==Unregistered Users==
I think anonymous users should only be allowed to edit a page if they have an account because any random troll can defile these pages whenever they please and if they register and troll, they are easier to ban. Also, when an anonymous user messages you, you can't respond back. By all means they should be allowed to read and view the pages but they shouldn't be allowed to defile the pages we work so hard on so much whenever. I know they can be blocked but still they do it so much, something should be permenantly done. Does it sound like a good idea? I'm not trying to make things harder for you so if it is too hard to do, dismiss my message. It's just when the Commando page and other pages keep getting trolled it makes me mad.
P.S. What do you think of the new and improved [[Saving Private Ryan]] page I spent all day on? -[[User:Gunmaster45|GM45]]

== Re: Which User? ==

I contacted Orca, and he has the same problem. Go to the [[Commando]] talk page, and look at the revision history and it's the first user down, and on [[The Rock]] page, there was a user that vandalized the page, but it has since been undone. Also be sure to read Gunmaster45's comment, it sounds like a way to protect the site, but I'm also afraid the site will loose activity if done so. I'll be sure to create a new account Thursday or Friday, I'll let you know the name when I do. Thanks, and good luck.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:47, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Some of the more knowledgable ones should just sign in with a user name and join the club), yet the main lot of us on the site with user names makes new professional pages and add good pictures everyday. I'm saying if it is harder to edit the site, more of the negative editors are weeded out and more of the dilligent users will sign in. And if a die-hard troll does sign in, he is far easier to ban and prevent future trolling. Obviously my plan is flawed but not a horrible idea. -[[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

--------------

My 2 cents on the issue. The person who was vandalizing the [[Commando]] page was doing it repeatedly from different IP addresses. IP addresses that changed from minute to minute, so this guy must have been doing it from a computer room at a school/college, or at a workplace with lots of IP addresses. This anonymous vandal taunted me with the words "Good Luck!" & "It's fun!" when I warned him to stop messing with IMFDB pages. One has to weigh the consequences, and personally, making it so that certain targeted pages are protected by these individuals, (and have to be edited only by persons who have bothered to make an online account), is a good compromise. Any other course of action, we can quickly lose control of IMFDB to people whose only desire is to do it harm. This comment coming from a member (me) who had to UNDO this weirdo's vandalism THREE times in the course of a few hours. If that had spread to the rest of the site ... I shudder to think what would happen. The fact that we have MODS who are willing to protect the site from this intentional vandalism is a good thing, and such action keeps members like myself from abandoning the site. I appreciate the quick action taken to protect the page. Members take a lot of their time to building good pages and it's one thing to lose info due to a hardware issue and it's another entirely to spend all one's time undoing the gibberish from a bunch of infantile internet vandals. Just something to think about. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

::I can understand the frustration with these vandals. However, the fact is, most anonymous users are perfectly law-abiding and make useful contributions to the site. The way I look at it (and I say this as a libertarian who believes in personal freedom and responsibility), it's similar to the issue many of us have with gun control laws: A few gangbangers shoot up their "hoods" with AKs, so the liberals feel the need to ban everyone, including law-abiding citizens, from owning AKs. And the liberals might argue, "Well, if we don't ban assault weapons, think of all the criminals and terrorists who are going to use them to out-gun the police and take control of the streets!" But most of us would disagree with that, no? It's the same issue of freedom and responsibility here. I've had some pages I've worked on vandalized, and it's annoying, but it is fairly simple to undo the damage (go to "Page History", select the version that precedes the vandalism, and undo it). I think the biggest issue is the lack of available moderators to ban the vandals as soon as they strike. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

== Nominations for new mods? ==

The site has a lot of great users who I would be happy to have as additional moderators - however not everyone wants the responsibility. So, rather than foisting administrator status on some users I'd love for you guys to either step up to the plate or nominate other users you trust. [[User:WikiSysop|WikiSysop]] 19:55, 11 October 2008 (UTC) [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 19:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

== Hey ==

Hey, Bunni, I would like to know if you can make [[User: MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] an adminstrator because a user has been uploading over his images, and I would like to put locks on his images so only he can upload new versions and revert them. Also, sorry if I'm bothering you, but did you ever find out what the bug was? I would really like to have the ability to block people again, because right now it would be very useful.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to say this but it still refuses to work, but it sounds like you getting close to solving the problem, I'm unable to block Users or IP adresses, but I'm still able to protect and delete pages, I think it says the error is in the function "Block::insert". . Is there a possiblity moving to a new server could fix the problem? (Not that you have to, It's just a thought). But thanks for making MPM2008 a mod though.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 23:14, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Thank you so much, Bunni. I'm going to ban all the vandals we couldn't before now. If you still have the nomination thing up, I would like to recommend [[User: Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]] and [[User: MT2008|MT2008]] for positions as new Admins. I will also let Orca and MPM2008 know about the good news. Once again, thanks.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

==RE:Top pages==
The page still needs a lot of work though. I'm still working on adding cars and knifes to the Punisher dicussion page for anyone to use, so I can't. Other wise, I would try. Any ideas on how to automate the page so it changes the information on its own? -GM

==The Leone Trilogy==
I just finished the last of the three Sergio Leone westerns, [[A Fistful of Dollars]], [[For a Few Dollars More]], and [[The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly]]. I was wondering if their is any way to put them in order on the "next page" options and in order on the movie page instead of alphabetical order. It isn't a big deal but let me know if you can. Also, keep your eyes out for my next projects. I just got [[Last Man Standing]] in the mail today and I also planning to do The Whole Nine Yards and The Whole Ten Yards soon. -GM
:That sounds like a good idea. -GM

== Beast of War ==

Hey Bunni, Orca discovered another bug on the site. [[The Beast of War]] page is broken for some reason. If you can find a solution to that, I would be thankful.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 19:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

==Defiance==
Hope you don't mind. I replaced some of your pics on the ''[[Defiance]]'' page along with some other screencaps. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:33, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Forums ==

Good Job on getting the forum back, but I recommend you put the anti-spam thing on it like you did with the one before the crash. Because you're already getting spammers on the off topic forum now.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 23:33, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

==Empty pages==
Anonymous users have been making far too many empty pages and it's kinda getting out of hand. Is there anyway we can stop anonymous users from making pages (before I was thinking too harshly by saying they shouldn't be able to edit the site), now I think it is a little less harsh if we can stop them from making the 20 empty pages a day. Even if this isn't possible, is there any way we can notify them to stop making these empty pages? [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]] 21:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== Another Mod recommendation ==

Hey Bunni, it's me again, and I have another mod recommendation. If you can make [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] an admin, it would appreciated. He has done alot of great work on the site, and is deserving of a promotion. Thanks.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

It says he is a sysop, and I've never heard of him nor seen him post. Did you or WikiSysop give him this rank or is there foul play? - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Speakeasy804==
Bunni, you may have noticed [[User:Speakeasy804]] has been doing an exceedingly good job of screencapping pages for some time now (sometimes two or three in a day!), do you think you could make him an Administrator, I think he's earned it. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

Thank you very much for the new privilege! I'm honored and I'll try and keep up the good work! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

==Screenshots==

Bunni, please do tell...how are we doing as far as server capacity goes? Do you want me (and other admins) to engage in another huge deleting spree of unused images/pages? We did it a while ago, but if it would help, please don't hesitate to ask.

Also, what kind of server upgrade do you need? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

:Yeah, I admit that many of us (myself included) have been getting WAY out of hand with screencaps. I used to make pages where I might have 10 images for a single gun, which is definitely overdoing it. And since many of our pages are the ones getting used for the Featured Article section, it makes sense. If you want, we can always start enforcing rules against having so many screencaps.

:As far as the new server goes, how much are you going to need? In the forum, we've discussed the possibility of finding advertisers. This site's Main Page has had over 1,000,000 views, and in the last month since we reached that benchmark, we've now had close to 200,000 more. At that rate, we can definitely start shopping around for sponsorship deals, especially in the American gun owning community. It might help with finding money to upgrade servers.

:The idea for the Main Page that you have seems like a decent enough idea, but I just worry that it will take away a great deal of the visual splendor from the site. After all, featured pages do a great job of showing casual viewers what IMFDB is like. An alternative might be to start being a LOT more frugal about what pages we put on. We can limit it only to articles that have, say, no more than 20 guns and no more than 3 images of each. I would be willing to edit some of my pages to fit this standard. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

::I know what you're saying about the featured page, and that was my intention when I first added featured articles to the front page - but at this point we are receiving enough traffic that it has become a serious strain. I've just updated the front page with a couple examples of what I was talking about using only one screenshot and then linking to the article. We have so many new visitors daily that I think it's important our front page load quickly so they can access the rest of the site - I don't want to discourage new visitors with an unusually long load time as their very first experience with the imfdb.

==A new member asked me for help==

Here is the repost of his query... Any idea why the system keeps kicking him out?

::I am having difficulty trying to assist with the website. I have registered using the user name "sgtmonroe". Unfortunately I cannot seem to get anything to work on the website. Everytime I go to a page to upload an image, or something to that effect, I get logged out.

::I am the "mystery user" that posted some additional information under the "Wild Geese" entry about the actors and firearms [such as the M1934 Beretta, SIG P-210, etc.]. For some reason when I posted my user name would not show up. I cannot figure out why the site keeps logging me out...even when I check the "Remember my login on this computer " box.

::I would love to assist with the website...I have prepared screen caps for the film "Lost Command" and was going to update the page for it...since the entry is very lacking...the film features around 25 different firearms...yet the entry just has the "MAT 49" at this time.

::I would appreciate any assistance you could afford me...BTW...after reading the forum entries I have noticed a trend in the complaints...just for your information I am 40 yo, former military and current law enforcement, can form a complete sentence, and have been a film "couch commando" pretty much my entire life...oh, and I own real guns!

::Thanks for any help as well as your time concerning this matter.

::C.A. Monroe

==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]] 04:28, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I had to make another account because [[User: Kenny99|Kenny99]] has account problems. When I clicked on to my user page, it is always blank and nothing else. I am not sure why this happens, but I uploaded a drawing from my camera, uploaded it, and the uploading progress disappears.

Bunni, I really need your help, there is an error on this site preventing us from undoing revisons on Pages and Images, and this asshole named Hieloco just ruined a few of MoviePropMaster2008's images, and I can't fix them, please respond as soon as possible.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 23:53, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Bunni, and yeah, I was assuming Unixy was someone was an administrator or someone like that. I'd also think the bug is affecting some pages such as a few talk pages too because if you look at ones such as Orca's and yours, a whole bunch of text in missing at the top, but it appears in the edit page. Anyway, whatever it is, I wish the best of luck in fixing it, and thanks for your help again. P.S sorry if I overreacted earler.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 01:42, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

==Thanks for deleting the old re-directs==
Those were back in the days before I was able to delete spam pages. As a regular member, all I could do was blank the page and change it into a legitimate gun or movie page. Anyway, that hasn't been an issue for a long time. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:41, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

== forum login ==

Well the weird thing is that there were 2 instances when the forum asked for my password when I wanted to delete and ban a spam bot. Those 2 instances when I typed my password correctly, it lead to a thing that said that it was the wrong password and that I should wait 15 minutes to try again. I then clicked on the button that saids send me password to my email to see if I did used the wrong password, but I never got any emails from the forum. Later on, when I tried again, I was able to delete spambots by typing in my password, unchanged. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 15:31, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

==Insulting actors==
I was torn on putting it in the commentary section (which I have not had time to flesh out yet) rather than the principles section. It could belong in either section. In the commentary section I was going to address (a) inappropriate comments (b) moving commentary to the discussion page, (c) insulting actors (d) noting that observing flaws or goofs or anachronisms in a scholarly way is not being insulting (e) to limit sarcasm in all descriptions and commentary on pages (f) limit requoting entire sections of the movie in commentary 'just because it's cool' .... stuff like that. I'll put it in whatever section you deem appropriate though. Just let me know. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 00:48, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Not only can I not log in most of the time, the forum logs me OUT after a few minutes. I was composing a response to a question and I was logged out and not, again, cannot log back in. Can this be fixed? No much I can do as a Mod if I can't get into the forums. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

==Forum problems login==
Yes, I cannot login most of the time, because when I click on 'remember me', even if I carefully type in the correct username and password, I still get booted out with the warning that I've used up my login attempts, WTF? Only if I don't click on 'remember me' can I log in, but then I get logged out very quickly (within fifteen minutes) I know this because I was composing a forum reply to someone and just as I was about to post it, I got a NEW error message that I must be logged in, in order to post, but I was already logged in. So when I tried again to log in, I got the same Error message that I had used up all of my login attempts, even though the last time I tried to log in was obviously successful. I gave up trying to reply to ANYONE's forum posts, because I get booted out alot and can't get back in. Hopefully this description helps.

===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.

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.

Nice shotgun you got there, Chris! I was in the market for a shotgun myself recently, and I thought about getting the 870 Express Tactical (with the rails and the door breacher), but ultimately decided on the Mossy 500 Mariner instead (because the stainless look won me over). Here's mine:

[[Image:MTMariner-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|(I now have a pistol grip for it, too)]]

Still, that 870 looks sweet. Again, good choice. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

:Congrats on the 229R, too. As for me, I love my SIG. It's a good, dependable shooter and far more accurate than I can ever hope to be. As for the 229, it's a good choice, although I personally find it a bit too wide (its grip circumference is a bit wider than that of the 226 and 228). But I'm sure you'll like it. It's a very popular LE pistol, and for good reason. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:50, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

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.

Sometimes the feature article is not showing up on the main page. I think it has just started in the last few days. It may have been doing it before, but I never noticed.

If he were real he would NOT be talking to a lawyer. Despite being a gun inventor, he sounds like a kid when he writes.

On the [[Lost]] page, the user Axeman keeps reverting the screencaps back to originals he put up. Axeman's images weren't cropped and were too dark. I put up a comparison of his images next to mine on the Lost Discussion page. I think mine would be preferable, but I want to get some other opinions. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 22:40, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

== Question ==

Ok, Question I need to ask.

I notice that this website operates alot like a wiki. How did you do that? Does it cost money to operate a website like this? The reason I am asking this is because I have my own Wiki, but, do to circumstances beyond my control, I must find a new home for this wiki. Why? Simple: Because the new layout SUCKS! Also I know this is asking alot, but Do you now a way I could do this change quickly? However the big thing is making act like a wiki, but having the good old layout that you somehow have. So please answer back.

P.S. Sweet 870. :) [[User:Drjuki|Drjuki]] 20:33, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

== Not allowing PNG's ==

Someone noted that if we're discouraging uploading of PNG files, then it should be removed as an acceptable format on the upload page. This has been asked in the forum, but is there a way to do that? Is there a way to just restrict the uploading of files to just JPG's only? --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 07:31, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

==Searching Images==
In the "Screenshot" category, is there any way to increase the number of images seen in the page? Currently you can only search for 200 images at a time, and with the amount of images we now have, it takes forever just to get through the "A"'s. Another way maybe to put the Alphabetical index up there like the one seen on the Main Page? Thanks for your time. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 02:01, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I can't see any screenshots (or any pictures at all), as if they have disappeared into thin air. I just get a message like this: "Error creating thumbnail: File seems to be missing: /home/imfdb/tmp/5/54/24S7E4_H&K_MP7A12.JPG" on top of a grey area where the picture usually is.

== Taking out PNG's ==

Since you're upgrading, is there still no way of removing PNG's from the permitted file types on the upload page? --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 03:25, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

== Upload Page problems ==

Just letting you know that after I upload an image, the final image page doesn't recognize that I've logged in (so I can't delete any images if I need to). Also the "upload file" command is missing on the left side in the "toolbox". It's useful when I'm uploading multiple images that I don't have to go back to another page to do it. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 07:02, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

== Deleting history ==

== Still having problems uploading ==

You're welcome with the RB page. Here's the problem I'm still having. When I click on a picture and brought to that picture's page, the site doesn't show that I'm logged in even though I am. Also when I'm on that picture page, I use to be able to go to the "toolbox" on the left side and be able to click "upload file". It's missing now on the picture page only.

Here's the snap of a page as it looks now. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 07:36, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

[[Image:Picture page.jpg|thumb|800px|none|Note in the upper right it only says "Logged in" and then on the right there's no "upload file" command in the toolbox.]]

== One more Thing ==

The top ad is not centered anymore (probably because the side ads are gone). Are you planning to put up the side ads again? While it's nice to have more space for editing, if it helps to pay the bills, I would say go ahead. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 07:59, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

==Re: Ampersand Links==

Also, the glitch with image pages showing users logged out, which me and several other users have observed, is still present. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 10:56, 7 March 2011 (MSK)

== Changing Trivia Format ==

Just wondering if it would be okay to change the trivia to more of a statement format instead of a question format. I have it all set up already and would like to test it out on a trial basis, if it's okay with you. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 06:40, 7 March 2011 (MSK)

Thanks, I'll put it up shortly. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 06:46, 7 March 2011 (MSK)

== A Few More Things ==

A couple more things of note:

1. The additional advertising banner at the top seems to be overlapping with the edit commands.

2. Should the Trivia box also be left justified (as the Quote box is)?

3. Are you planning on adding back the recent discussions and recent articles? (I believe you removed these to test the loading speed of the page).

--[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:57, 8 March 2011 (MSK)

==Responses==

1. The browser is Firefox and the skin I was running was "minibanners", but I switched over to Vector and it doesn't seem to have that problem.

2. I hope you can bring back those recent discussions and recent new articles because they are very helpful to keep up to date on what's going on the site.

3. As more progress on fixing that login bug on the picture pages? Could it have something to do with the thumbnails of the previously uploaded screenshots? That wasn't there before and don't know if it causes any slowdown. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 23:46, 8 March 2011 (MSK)

==Article Problem==

I think you should take a look at this: [[Talk:Iron Eagle II]]

==Old image problems==
Is it because images were originally called image instead of file it's causing the problem where you can't upload over them because it acts like you're logged out and when you try to log in you get an error message? I uploaded some images today and it seems like you can upload over them.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 03:19, 12 March 2011 (MSK)

== Hey ==

Hey Bunni, sorry if I'm not on as much as I used to, but I want to say I like what you did with the site.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 08:45, 12 March 2011 (MSK)

== Image Upload Problems continued ==

Couple of problems still with the uploading images:

1. There's still the problem with the site not recognizing my login on the image page.

2. When I try to overwrite an image, the site doesn't recognize the new image (there's no revision seen).

3. The movie page doesn't recognize the new image revision even when I refresh the page.

Anyway, thanks for doing the png thing. Hope you can get to these when you can. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 22:42, 14 March 2011 (CDT)

== Image Uploads ==

Tried a few images on [[Back to the Future Part II]], but it still doesn't recognize it. I'll describe my workaround for uploading over old images:

1. Copy filename of old image.

2. Go to "upload file" and copy filename into the "Destination filename: " box.

3. After uploading new image, it takes me back to the image page, but it doesn't record that a new image has been uploaded.

Before, I was able to just click on the old image and do an upload file from there. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 00:07, 16 March 2011 (CDT)

==2011 Topic: Type 69: RPG or no RPG? ==

Recently, there has been some controversy about whether a Type 69 launcher should be indicated as an RPG or not. I've started a topic in the forums about this and also here to see if we can get to a consensus about this. Moderators, please respond in the "Type 69" Rocket Launcher thread. For further information about this, you can take a look at the [[User Talk: BurtReynoldsMoustache]] page and the [[User Talk:Evil Tim]] page. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:21, 20 April 2011 (CDT)

== Unusual spacing in Actor pages ==
When I view the site on using Internet explorer (at 1366 x 768 resolution), I've noticed some of the actor pages that have multiple pictures, the tables get shoved down below some of the pictures that it was doing before. I've had to place the picture coding underneath the "Film" heading in order for it to look right. Take a look at the [[Amanda Tapping]] page to see the unusually large spacing.
Also, the actor title template I was using also has unusual spacing, as everything after the actor's name gets put on a second line. Please refer to the [[Sam Phillips]] page for an example.

I just took a look at it in Firefox at the same resolution and it was fine. Don't know what's the problem with Internet Explorer.

== Strange issue ==

Clicking on a recently uploaded image by [[User:Pz.Abt.100]], I got this:

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

As you can see, it showed his login at the top instead of mine and displayed what I assume are his language preferences. Luckily, the "preferences" link still goes to ''my'' preferences rather than his so it's not a security issue, but it's still pretty weird. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:29, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

::I think I've figured it out: it's Cloudflare, rather obviously. It seems that until it updates, Cloudflare serves image pages ''exactly'' as they looked when they were first uploaded; one of mine tells me I have new messages when I look at it because I did at the time. I'm guessing this includes showing the language settings of the uploading user and their user bar.

Hey Bunni, it's me. We have a small issue on the site involving this previously banned user constantly returning every other day and vandalizing the site and creating numerous pages ranting on how the admins are corrupt which we have been deleting everytime he come back, and many of these rants are toward MoviePropMaster2008. He seems to be constantly switching IP addresses and making a new account every other day, the last time he was banned was last night. Do you think you can find out anything about his IP address and get rid of him for good? . here's a list of some of the usernames he had so far:

Bj

Jmd1

A1234

Jables

== Cloudflare ban issue ==

We've had some trouble recently with a spammer using randomly-generated names (see [[User_talk:Predator20#Spammer_.2B_ones_to_watch]] for the details and his potential accounts) but we've had an odd development; earlier, Predator20 banned one of his accounts ("3f8WoqN8") which has apparently made 173.245.53.76 a blacklisted IP. Thing is, IP checking says [http://www.ipchecking.com/?ip=173.245.53.76&check=Lookup that's one of CloudFlare's servers], and it appears it's now edit-blocking random users who get served by that one.

'''The following weapons were used in the film ''Goldeneye'':'''
[[Image:007GEposter.jpg|thumb|300px|right|''Goldeneye'' (1995)]]

=Handguns=

== Walther PPK ==
[[Pierce Brosnan]] as James Bond uses a [[Walther PP Pistol Series#Walther PPK|Walther PPK]] as his sidearm (in the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, it is fitted with a suppressor). In one scene of the film, Bond points this gun at Valentin Zukovsky ([[Robbie Coltrane]]), who identifies it by the sound of the hammer being cocked as a "Walther PPK, Seven-Point-Six-Five-Millimeter", thus leaving the viewers with no doubt about the weapon's caliber. He also comments that, "Only three men I know use such a gun. I believe I've killed two of them." General Ourumov uses it later to kill Russian Defense Minister Dimitri Mishkin ([[Tchéky Karyo]]) and a nearby guard, before handing it back to Bond after unloading the magazine (but not the chamber!) and calling the guards to kill him. Then, in the final action scene, Bond uses this to kill a few guards trying to kill him.

==Browning BDA==

In the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory which takes place in 1986, Alec Trevelyan ([[Sean Bean]]) uses a [[Browning BDA]] fitted with a suppressor as his sidearm. It should noted that due to a continuity error in the same scene his sidearm anachronistically switches to the [[Browning BDM]], which wouldn't be manufactured for several years.

[[Image:Browning-BDA-9mm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning BDA 9x19mm]]
[[Image:GEBHP.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Trevelyan points his suppressed Browning BDA at Bond while he confirms his identity at the chemical weapons factory.]]

== Browning BDM ==

During the finale of the movie, which takes place at Trevelyan's secret Goldeneye satellite control dish in Cuba, Trevelyan is seen brandishing a [[Browning BDM]], a modernized, double-action variant of the [[Browning Hi-Power]]. He is also seen wielding the BDM with a suppressor in the beginning of the film, although it's appearance at that time is anachronistic. During the fight between Trevelyan and Bond on the transmitter above the dish, Bond gets a hold of the BDM, and turns it against Trevelyan, who later reclaims the weapon from Bond, but eventually runs out of ammo.

[[Image:GEbdm8.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Bond with Trevelyan's BDM.]]

== Makarov PM ==

General Ourumov ([[Gottfried John]]) uses a [[Makarov PM#Makarov PM|Makarov PM]] as his standard sidearm. It is used most notably in the opening sequence at the chemical weapons factory, when he uses it to shoot Trevelyan (unknown to Bond, this killing is fake - merely part of a plot to help Trevelyan disappear). Ourumov then uses it to shoot an unlucky soldier for shooting at Bond against his orders (as Bond was hiding behind a cart full of volatile chemicals, so Ourumov told all the soldiers to hold their fire). He is then seen using it to hold Natalya ([[Izabella Scorupco]]) at gunpoint with it when he captures her. At the satellite dish in Cuba, Bond gives one to her and she uses it to hold a helicopter pilot at gunpoint with it.

== CZ 52 ==

During the scene in which Bond meets Zukovsky at his night club in St. Petersburg, he makes a disparaging comment about the singing talents of Zukovsky's mistress. Zukovsky does not take kindly to this comment, so he pulls a Czech [[CZ 52]] pistol from beneath his jacket and fires a round at the couch between Bond's legs. He then fires two more rounds to try and shoot off Bond's legs, but misses, and Bond later calms him down.

[[Image:GE52.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Zukovsky with his CZ 52 after trying to intimidate Bond.]]

== Unknown Pistol ==

Xenia Onatopp kills the two Tiger Pilots with an unknown pistol. Speculation suggests that according to a production photo, Xenia is posing with what looks like a suppressed Llama Especial XV. However, a signed publicity photo from the movie shows her (Famke Janssen) with what is clearly a [[Walther PP Pistol Series#Walther PPK|Walther PPK]] (or perhaps a PPK/E due to the small diameter barrel) with the same finish and suppressor configuration. Regardless, in the movie the pistol doesn't sound suppressed at all.

[[Image:GEpistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unknown handgun]]
[[Image:Goldeneye_Famke.jpg|thumb|none|200px|Famke Janssen as Xenia with a Walther PPK]]

== MAS / MAC mle. 1950 pistol ==

When Bond attempts to stop the Tiger helicopter on the frigate La Fayette, he is stopped by French sailors, one of which points an [[MAC Mle 1950|MAS / MAC mle. 1950 pistol]] in Bond's face.

==Glock 17==
In a deleted scene, the Pakistani arms dealer tries to sell a [[Glock#Glock 17|Glock 17]] pistol to Valentin Zukovsky. However, Zukovsky points out to the arms dealer that the pistol was a Chinese counterfeit of the original Glock 17. Eventually, Zukovsky threatens him with it, revealing the otherwise perfect copy's only flaw.

[[Image:Glock_Goldeneye_2.jpg|500px|thumb|none|- Lucky for him, those silly Chinese made the firing pin too short. All the dealer gets is a click and some soiled pants.]]

=Assault Rifles=

== AKS-74U ==

Bond very frequently uses the [[AK-74#AKS-74U|AKS-74U]], the compact version of the [[AK-74]], by taking them from slain or incapacitated Russian soldiers. He first acquires this weapon during the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, and then again during the escape from the Soviet archives (he takes this AKS-74U in the T-55 tank with him, and then uses it again when he confronts Trevelyan on his train).

Xenia Onatopp ([[Famke Janssen]]) also uses an AKS-74U (with two magazines "jungle-taped" together). She first uses this weapon to kill all of the technicians at the Severnaya Goldeneye control center, and then is seen carrying it again on Trevelyan's missile train (however, she drops it when the train crashes, and when Trevelyan tries to grab it, he is stopped by Bond, who points his own AKS-74U at him).

==Norinco Type 56 and Type 56-1 (mocked up as AK-74 and AKS-74)==

The weapons used by the Russian soldiers throughout the movie (and by Bond and Trevelyan during the shootout on the satellite dish) are often referred to as [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74]] or [[AK-74#AKS-74|AKS-74]] rifles. This is correct in some instances, but wrong in most cases. The vast majority of the so-called "AK-74s" used by Russian soldiers in this movie are actually [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56]] and [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Type 56-1]] rifles, Chinese copies of the [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]] and [[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]]. The prop weapons used in the movie have been fitted with AK-74-style muzzle brakes and plastic magazines to make them resemble AKS-74s, but the giveaway is the fact that the weapons clearly have under-folding stocks (on the AKS-74, the stock folds to the side), and more curved magazines for 7.62x39mm ammo (the AK-74 magazines are less curved). The weapons are clearly identifiable as Norinco Type 56 and Type 56-1s because they have the distinctive hooded front sights which characterize only Chinese-made Kalashnikov variants.

On a few occasions in the movie, it is possible to spot genuine AK-74 and AKS-74 rifles in the hands of some of the Russian soldiers (see below), usually in non-firing scenes. These are not nearly as common, however, as the mocked-up Chinese Type 56s which are intended to pass for AK-74s.

[[Image:Norinco56Mockup.jpg‎|thumb|450px|none|A Norinco Type 56 rifle (7.62x39mm) mocked up to look like an AK-74 in the film ''GoldenEye''. This example has the orange "bakelite" magazine rather than the standard metal one and an AK-74 "Style" buttstock. In ''GoldenEye'', there are also '''underfolder Chinese Type 56-1 rifles''' similarly mocked up as all as a few real '''AKS-74''' (5.45x39mm) rifles in the scene at the chemical weapons factory.]]

[[Image:GEtype566.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Bond drops his Type 56-1 after running out of ammunition]]

==AKS-74==

As mentioned previously, there are some genuine [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74]] and [[AK-74#AKS-74|AKS-74]] rifles in the film. At least one AKS-74 can be seen clearly in the hands of a Russian soldier in the chemical weapons plant, and another is fired at Bond's T-55 during the chase through St. Petersburg.

[[Image:Aks74.jpg|thumb|450px|none|AKS-74 5.45x39mm]]
[[Image:GEAK74aa.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A genuine AKS-74 in the hands of a Russian soldier at the chemical weapons factory. Unlike the rifles above, this weapon appears to be an authentic AKS-74 because it has a side-folding stock, and the magazine has less of a curve, indicating that it is a 5.45x39mm model. It also does not have the hooded front sight of the Chinese AKM variants seen above. The soldier to the right can be seen with a fixed-stock AK-74 as well. The soldier on the far left appears to be aiming at his comrade!]]
[[Image:GEak742.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A genuine AKS-74 in the hands of a Russian soldier, being fired at Bond's T-55.]]

==AK-74==

Full-stock [[AK-74#AK-74|AK-74]] rifles are visible in some scenes, though most of those used appear to be rubber stunt versions.

[[Image:AK-74 NTW 12 92.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-74 5.45x39mm]]

[[Image:GAKaa.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A soldier with a rubber AK-74 charges Bond, only to be taken down by his AKS-74U. Note the missing charging handle in this shot]]

== M16A2 Rifle ==

At the end of the film, Bond and Natalya are making out in a field near the destroyed Janus base when CIA Agent Jack Wade ([[Joe Don Baker]]) approaches them and calls out a squad of U.S. Marines that had been hiding all around them, the Marines being armed with [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2 rifles]].

=Machine Guns=

==RPK==

Outside the chemical facility, before General Ourumov emerges through the crowd of soldiers, one Russian on the far right is holding an [[RPK light machine gun#RPK-74|RPK light machine gun]], distinguishable by the bipod on the bottom. Like the Chinese Type 56 rifles seen in the film, it is fitted with an orange bakelite magazine. The weapon may be a Chinese clone of the RPK, such as the NMD-83, but it is hard to tell.

[[Image:RPK lmg.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPK light machine gun 7.62x39mm with 40 round magazine]]
[[Image:GERPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPK-74 in red circle]]
[[Image:GERPK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPK-74 in red circle]]

==RPD Light Machine Gun==

An [[RPD light machine gun|RPD]] light machine gun is also used by at least one of the Soviet soldiers in the opening scene. The RPD is somewhat anachronistic for the time period shown, as the [[PK machine gun]] had largely replaced it by this time.

[[Image:RPD-Light-Machine-Gun.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPD light machine gun 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:GERPD.jpg|thumb|none|600px|RPD in purple circle]]

==PKM Machine Gun==

Another weapon visible in the opening sequence in the hands of a soldier is a [[PK Machine Gun#Kalashnikov PK/PKM Machine Gun|PKM]] light machine gun (or some other copy).

[[Image:PKM-mg.jpg|thumb|450px|none|PKM machine gun 7.62x54mm R]]
[[Image:GEPKaa.jpg|thumb|none|600px|PKM light machine gun in orange circle]]

== DShK ==

A [[DShK heavy machine gun]] is mounted on a T-55 tank that Bond commandeers for the St. Petersburg chase scene.

[[Image:GENSV.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A T-55 tank with a DShK heavy machine gun mounted atop the turret. This vehicle appears to be modified, since it is fitted with rubber-padded tracks from a British Chieftain.]]

== M134 Minigun ==

Also mounted on the Polaris Big Boss 250 all terrain vehicle, is a [[GE M134 Minigun#GE M134 Minigun|GE M134 Minigun]].

[[Image:M134.JPG|thumb|none|450px|GE M134 Minigun 7.62x51mm NATO]]

=Sniper Rifles=
==SVD (?)==

Another soldier is armed with what appears to be an [[SVD Dragunov#SVD Dragunov|SVD Dragunov]], but it is too hard to tell for sure (it may also be a Chinese Type 79 or some other copy).

[[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|450px|[[SVD Dragunov]] sniper rifle - 7.62x54mm]]

[[Image:GEguncase.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Zukovsky's gun case]]

== MAS-49 Rifle ==

When the Eurocopter Tiger demonstration is being given aboard the French Navy ship a French Sailor can be seen briefly armed with an [[MAS-49]].

=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch MP5A5==
In a deleted scene, Valentin Zukovsky ([[Robbie Coltrane]]) is seen handling a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A5|Heckler & Koch MP5A5]] submachine gun during a deal with a Pakistani arms dealer. However, Zukovsky pointed out to the arms dealer that the MP5 he selling to him was a Czech counterfeit gun.

[[Image:H&KMP5A5.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler and Koch MP5A5 9x19mm - Same as the MP5A4 but with a telescoping stock. Both the A4 & A5 variants have the additional option for '3 round burst' on the selector.]]
[[Image:Mp5_Goldeneye.jpg|500px|thumb|none|Zukovsky picks up the Czech-made H&K MP5A5 copy.]]

=Other Weapons=

==Norinco Type 69==

When the Soviets pursue Bond on the runway, a couple of them can be seen wielding [[RPG-7#Type 69 RPG|Chinese Type 69]] launchers.

[[Image:Type69RPG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Norinco Type 69]]
[[Image:GERPG.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Type 69 in green circle]]
[[Image:GERPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Type 69 in green circle]]

== Mk 19 Grenade Launcher ==

When Bond is meeting with Q ([[Desmond Llewelyn]]) in his lab, a [[Mk 19 grenade launcher]] can be briefly seen mounted on what appears to be a Polaris Big Boss 250 all-terrain vehicle. I believe an M134 Minigun is also seen around this part in the Q-Lab but only very vaguely for about a second.

== M47 Dragon==

In addition to the aforementioned Minigun, the ATV is also shown with two [[M47 Dragon]] missile tubes on it.

__TOC__ 

==Colt Double Eagle==
The [[Colt Double Eagle]] appears as the Falcon 2. It is the workhorse handgun of the Carrington Institute, available with a suppressor or a scope, but not both at the same time. The Falcon 2 is almost always given to the player at the start of a mission, in one of the 3 flavors (suppressed, scoped, vanilla). Each flavor comes with a laser aiming module (LAM) attached to the front of the trigger guard.

[[Image:Falcon2_%2B_Load.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Joanna chambers a new round in her Falcon 2 with suppressor. ]]

==Beretta 93R 'Auto-9'==
The Mag Sec 4 is a large handgun based off of the modified [[Beretta_93R#Beretta_93R_.22Auto_9.22|Beretta 93R 'Auto-9']] from ''[[RoboCop]]'' (and many later films) in function. It is carried by security personnel at Area 52. The Mag Sec 4 is able to fire single shots or 3 round bursts from a 9 round magazine. It is noticeably inaccurate, even at short range. In appearance, it has been given some futuristic contours, that don't really disguise the design beneath.

==Colt Python==
The DY 357 Magnum, based on a stainless [[Colt Python]], is a revolver carried by FBI agents and G5 building guards in the Chicago level. It can only be fired in double action, and there is a fairly long delay between pulling the trigger and the gun actually firing. Trent Easton, the NSA director turned Skedar pawn, carries a custom gold 357 called the "DY 357 LX." It is described as being loaded with frangible bullets that cause an instant kill.

==Steyr TMP==
The CMP (combat machine pistol) 150 is a SMG with the secondary function to track targets. Passing the reticule over a target marks them, and the weapon auto tracks them in the order that they were tagged. The CMP is carried by all the rank and file of dataDyne, and local unit commanders seem to enjoy the unique privilege to carry two. The CMP 150 is based on a [[Steyr TMP]], except that the shells eject to the left.

==FAMAS==
The AR 34 is the Carrington Institute assault rifle, and is pretty much just a really wide [[FAMAS]]. Carried usually only by CI guards, at one point in development Joanna was going to get one for nearly every mission. That would have made the game too easy (too fun) so it was decided against. As stated by the game, the bullpup design makes it quite accurate. In easily the most enjoyable scene in the game, Joanna uses an AR 34 to provide covering fire for an escaping friendly dropship and fend off an attack of alien warriors, all in her best party dress.

="Classic" Weapons=
The basic weapons from [[Goldeneye 007]] are unlockable in Perfect Dark through qualifying at the shooting range. They have had their names changed for legal reasons (one must assume) and their appearances slightly changed to fit Perfect Dark's style.

==Walther PPK==
The PP7, based on the [[Walther PPK]] has been renamed to the PP9i for the express purpose of trying to confuse you with the [[Walther P99]].

==Tokarev TT-33==

==SA Vz.61 Skorpion==
The newly leet-speaked "KLO 1313" (named after Ken Lobb, a Rareware employee), is based on the [[SA Vz.61 Skorpion|Skorpion]] sub-machine gun. As in Goldeneye, it can be dual-wielded, though this does little to make up for it's inaccuracy and next to harmless bullets.

==Micro Uzi==
The old ZMG 9mm has been renamed the ZZT 9mm. It is modeled after a [[Micro Uzi]], though has been scaled up to look big and impressive.

==Heckler & Koch MP5K==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears in the game as the DMC, originally called the D5K Deutsche in Goldeneye. It can be dual wielded.

==FN P90==
The [[FN P90]] appears in the game as the RCP-45. Despite the similar name and function to the RCP 120, it is not the same weapon at all. In Goldeneye it was called the RCP-90, but it has not lost 1/2 of it's power, fear not.

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears in the game as the KF-7 Special, called the KF-7 Soviet in Goldeneye. It has the folding stock removed.

Still looks like a pencil in first-person view.

==M16A2==
The [[M16A2]] appears in the game as the AR53. The AR53, previously called the AR33, has no stock when it is being held and it is also held only with one hand(!), just like in Goldeneye.

Okay. Clean slate. If you must argue, argue here and not on the gun page itself. Okay? Please refrain from making changes until they have been discussed.

I just wanted to let people know that I took the liberty to talk about the 1986 film Aliens pulse rife in this section because the similarities are to big to be ignored. Look for yourself. (6/26/2010)

Nice page, i recently got addicted to this game. but what real firearm would the laptop gun be based on?
:Nothing. Read the in-game description. It unfolds, boots up, etc. Can be a sentry gun with a gatling barrel. What have you. Does that sound like a real gun? It may have been based on another fictional gun in a different show or movie, but that doesn't really count. --[[User:ManiacallyChallenged|ManiacallyChallenged]] 20:36, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
::Actually, that's not quite true, the Laptop gun could have been loosely based off the Russian PP-90 or the American Ares FMG which was mean't to fold up into a sort of case. They likely just added the Sentry gun as a cool secondary mode and modified it to look more like a laptop to make it look more futuristic. [[User:Draco122|Draco122]] 20:05, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

== RCP-120 ==

It only very superficially resembles a Muzzlelite. If anything thinking the RCP-120 is a muzzelite is simply the result of an overactive imagination. The goal of this site is to find the weapon that the PD weapon was based off, not to find a weapon that superficially resembles it and claiming that it is what the RCP-120 is. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 19:44, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
:The RCP-120 was the successor to the RC-P90 in Goldeneye, which was based on the FN P90. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 22:04, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

- So until it can be determined/decided what the gun may actually be based off of, it's completely unacceptable even to merely point out it does resemble a Muzzelite to a fair degree? Or even to state how it ''could'' be based off a Muzzelite, and that that point can be discussed? The Dragon below it still has text in it along those lines.

== I am putting my foot down because pages like these cannot be ignored for long ==

We don't know if they are actually based on any guns at all. Sure they LOOK like guns we've seen, but mostly this is an old game and it's hard to tell. We should just delete the guns that just aren't real. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 17:48, 7 October 2011 (CDT)

It does not look like a WA2000 at all. I might as well continue ignoring this page solely on the fact that it is on a console that is old and the graphics back then are subpar compared to today, but it just looks so awkward that it can't be a WA2000. And if you disagree with me on that, what about the others I deleted? They don't look like anything real [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 18:03, 7 October 2011 (CDT)

:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v453/GMCMA/Other%20stuff/LPPD/SRifle2.jpg

:Same general layout, same grip, same distinctive rectangular frame around the lower part of the barrel. Aside from a texture that makes it look like part of a steam engine and a silly scope, it's basically the same weapon. The others I mostly agree with, I'll give you a bulleted list when I get home from work. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 20:32, 7 October 2011 (CDT)

:Ok, here goes:

*Laptop Gun: I kinda see where this is coming from (which makes sense, since I was the one who made the connection in the first place) but it shouldn't be labelled as a UC-M21; it's pretty obvious they based it on Hob's gun from ''Robocop 2'', but it's based on it conceptually ("let's have a gun that folds up like that one in ''Robocop''"), it doesn't actually look like it at all. It might be worth keeping it just to make note of the connection (they got the idea from here, but did not base the weapon's looks on a real gun) but that's about it.
*RCP-120: Yeah, that doesn't look like a P90, and "based on a gun based on a P90" doesn't really fly when even the original didn't look much like a P90.
*Dragon: It's a pulse rifle because it's green and has a carrying handle. That's about as far as that one goes.
*K7: I kinda agree with the Morita resemblance, but it's like the sniper rifle, you really can't see it except on the item menu, and in the K7's case it's a pretty loose resemblance even then.
*Shotgun: I have no idea how that is supposed to resemble a SPAS.

:I'd say definitely restore the sniper rifle and I can get you a better screencap if that one isn't clear enough (it's even called the CI2010 in the manual, it's one of the most clearly real guns in the game) and I'm in two minds about a couple of the others, but definitely leave off the RCP-120, Dragon and Shotgun.

== Walther PPK aka PP9i is chambered in .32 ACP, not .380 ==

In the Goldeneye Movie, and I quote this from this link on this site: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/GoldenEye

"Walther PPK, Seven-Point-Six-Five-Millimeter. Only three men I know use such a gun. I believe I've killed two of them." -Valentin Zukovsky to James Bond.

.32 ACP is the same as 7.65 mm Browning as explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.32_ACP

The PP9i is based off the PP7 which is the .32 ACP PPK from the Goldeneye movie.

The caliber on this page is inaccurate and must be changed here and on the Goldeneye 007 page. [[User:RugerLord|RugerLord]] 14:10, 8 April 2012 (CDT)

While it's better having the weapons in some sort of order, the Goldeneye order is weird; for example, a revolver next to a sniper rifle and SMGs and assault rifles mixed up together for no good reason.

== Automatic Shotgun ==

It's not a SPAS-12, it looks nothing like a SPAS-12, can we remove any mention of SPAS-12 from this article.

If you absolutely have to have to have to call it something, its a wood furniture Remington 1100 with a pistol grip, no stock, a sawed off barrel, and a Mossberg heat shield. Somebody do a mock up of that (it doesn't exist on GIS, I've looked) and do a comparison.

Still doesn't make it that though, so just keep it "Automatic Shotgun". [[User:PersonOfInterest|PersonOfInterest]]

*Most people seem to be able to see some SPAS-12 in it [we've got at least three who've added it or suggested it stay so far]. The heat shield plus that diagonal slant down onto it is the main point of comparison, though you're right it's a horrible resemblance and turns into a generic pump action as soon as you get past the heat shield. Also, if you want to mock up guns in photoshop, try this: http://avro504.hp.infoseek.co.jp/teppoo/gunicon.html Also, the article doesn't say it's a SPAS-12 anymore, just that the front end has a couple of similarities. I might edit it to be even more clear that it certainly isn't a SPAS, and add this for proof:

[[Image:Automatic_Shotgun.png|thumb|none|400px]]

:Since that shows any similarity is purely confined to the front (as a side note, I especially like how the pump seems to travel all the way back to the pistol grip on what appears to be a shelf bracket which ''covers the trigger completely''). A more simple evaluation: it's an FPS, it's an automatic shotgun. It's not a Jackhammer, so it's a SPAS. If it's not a SPAS then it's a USAS-12 and I don't think we should go there.

===BIG FAT SWEATY UPDATE===
It's a Remington 1100.

I searched and searched and it seemed such a gun did not exist, so i said "fudge it" and went home. Then I came across this little gem right here.
[[Image:Vlcsnap-222544.jpg|thumb|400px|none]]

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the [[GoldenEye 007|Goldeneye]] automatic shotgun is modelled after the gun used by [[Kurtwood Smith|Red Foreman]] to put a boot up [[Robocop|Robocop's]] ass. "But the color of the forearm is different and that one has a folding stock" you say. AKMS's and SPECTRE M4's are supposed to have folding stocks too. P90's are supposed to be green. Point Game Checkmate. - POI

PS The pump-action shotgun so closely resembling the folding stock 870 from [[Terminator 2: Judgement Day]] backs up my theory IMSO (In My Smug Opinion)

Why is it OK to mention the pump shotgun resembling the 870 from [[Terminator 2: Judgement Day]] and that the sniper rifle resembles the WA2000 from [[The Living Daylights]], but it is verboten to mention that the auto shotgun resembles the customized 1100 from [[RoboCop]]?

==Speculation You Say?==
This game is full of guns that are copied from other movies. The fake AK-74 from Goldeneye is the most obvious, and Dongs pointed out the very unique infrared scope set up on the sniper rifle copied from The Living Daylights. The grenade launcher is quite a good match for the launcher from Predator. The folding stock 870 with the shells on top is a very iconic image from Terminator 2: Judgement Day, what else could it possibly be? As for the "automatic shotgun", yeah I guess that technically would be speculation, but consider all the other guns in this game ripped from movies, the popularity of Robocop, and the fact that I described a gun similar to Kurtwood Smith's customized 1100 as a potential candidate for this shotgun BEFORE I had even seen the screencap that I later used to identify it. Pretty safe speculation, I would say. - [[User:PersonOfInterest|PersonOfInterest]]

:"This game is full of guns that are copied from other movies" well I just see a bunch of crappily generically modeled weapons. The only reason that you see them as movie guns is because it is what you are used to seeing/want to see. Your mind is matrixing so that you see what you want to see. There is no indication AT ALL that these weapons were ripped from a movie. Maybe its where the artist could have gotten his inspiration but anything else is pure speculation. To label such a crappily drawn generic weapon in this game as a such certain a specific weapon is a mockery of IMFDB in my opinion , akin to if someone were to parody IMFDB on SNL. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 20:11, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

::Well if you want to take it to a logical extreme then nothing in this game can be defined as anything. The PP7 is a black pocket pistol, the DD44 is a grey pistol. The KF7 would be better described as an AK-47 or AKM with the wooden stock removed due to a lack of holes where the folding stock would be. Being labelled as "AK-47" in the beta version doesn't mean anything, it's just another misidentification, a common occurance in games AND movies The RCP90 shouldn't count as anything. If you're uncomfortable giving a concrete identification of anything then at least mention the similarities. You can't completely ignore when something bares a resemblance to something that actually does exist. Example: don't say the auto shotgun definitively is a Remington 1100 a la Robocop, say it is most similar to the Remington 1100 from Robocop.

It looks nothing like an AT4. It most resembles a Type 69 because it has a single pistol grip and an external warhead, neither of which are present on the AT4.

And what is so surprising about a slow firing weapon being powerful? There are lots of video game weapons that are powerful and slow. You can't have powerful and fast because that wouldn't be balanced. And it is not at all worth mentioning that it "[retains] lethal force" because other guns that fire through objects (AR33, RCP90, Moonraker Laser) also "[retain] lethal force". Just mention that those guns can all shoot through doors, objects, and people and that's all that needs to be said.

Please don't ban me again, I'm not a vandal and banning me from the wiki because of my conduct on the forums was grossly unfair. [[User:PersonOfInterest2|PersonOfInterest2]] 05:40, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

: Well, it can ''also'' be used by the player (be it by cheats or whatever), so the grammar isn't technically incorrect. And as for the section's text.. Other than some words and phrases bothering ''you'', there doesn't seem to be any problem with it as far as I can see. The section didn't say 'THIS GUN RULEZ AND IT KIKS ASS' or something like that. Don't be such a childish nitpicker. As for you getting banned, that's irrelevant here. Though I will say myself that it'd be pretty pointless to ban you off the forums and continue to allow you to be around and post on the actual Wiki itself. But that's just me.

Notice the shape of the grip and the horizontal lines. [[User:BurtReynoldsMoustache|BurtReynoldsMoustache]] 23:52, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== The real Grenade Launcher ==
I just found it. It's a Defense Technologies Penn Arms 40mm rotary launcher but it's missing the stock, tactical rails, and the handgrip at the front. [[User:RadiumMetal|RadiumMetal]] 12:47, 18 August 2011 (CDT)

:I'm not entirely sure the PGL65-40 even existed in 1997. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:35, 19 August 2011 (CDT)

The picture of the Grenade Launcher in the watch shows that it appears to have an unusually long top barrel, a shorter bottom barrel, and a pump. Other multi-shot launchers like the MGL or an RG6 don't have stuff like this, it's hard to pin down what it is. My jaw dropped when I figured out it looked like the Penn launcher, because of the pump underneath it. I can't find any production dates on the PGL65-40 and I'm coming up blank. So whether the PGL was developed in that time frame I don't know. [[User:RadiumMetal|RadiumMetal]] 19:52, 27 October 2011 (CDT)

Can one of the higher-ups please lift the protection on this page (atleast temporarily) so I can spruce it up? When I say I'm done you can put the protection back up if you want, thank you. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 03:42, 9 September 2011 (CDT)

== The Cougar Magnum is actually the Ruger Blackhawk, NOT Redhawk ==

Take a good look at the sight, the spacing between the front of the cylinder and the barrel, and the very bottom of the gun under the cylinder. On the Redhawk, the bottom is straight, on the Blackhawk and Cougar Magnum, the bottom is diagonally sloped.

Also, in the Beta Version of the Goldeneye game, the Cougar Magnum was infact called the "Blackhawk Magnum" as shown here http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101004041545/goldeneye/images/thumb/a/a1/BlackHawkWatch.jpg/185px-BlackHawkWatch.jpg .

Therefore the image and section needs to be changed to the [[Ruger Blackhawk]] .357 Stainless Steel Magnum. [[User:Glock17gen4|Glock17gen4]] 11:36, 1 April 2012 (CDT)

== Walther PPK aka PP7 is .32 ACP, not .380 ACP ==

In the Goldeneye Movie, and I quote this from this link on this site: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/GoldenEye

"Walther PPK, Seven-Point-Six-Five-Millimeter. Only three men I know use such a gun. I believe I've killed two of them." -Valentin Zukovsky to James Bond.

.32 ACP is the same as 7.65 mm Browning as explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.32_ACP

The caliber on this page is inaccurate and must be changed here and on the Perfect Dark page. [[User:RugerLord|RugerLord]] 14:10, 8 April 2012 (CDT)
