Please note that many times a semi auto only Mini 14 GB rifle is used to impersonate a full auto AC556, especially when mounted into a factory folding stock. Unless the rifle fires full auto, or one can clearly see the selector switch (which the Mini 14 doesn't have) it will be identified as a Mini-14 until its pedigree as an AC556 can be verified.

This is the full automatic version of the Mini 14 with a distinctive Barrel and bayonet lug. Ruger also offers the Mini-14 GB ("Government Barrel" Model) which is a semi automatic only version of the AC556 for Law Enforcement and (some) civilian sales. The Full Auto AC556 has a distinctive Auto Selector Switch on the back of the receiver that the Semi Auto Ruger Mini 14 does not.

''Please note that many times a semi auto only [[Mini 14]] GB rifle is used to impersonate a full auto AC556, especially when mounted into a factory folding stock. Unless the rifle fires full auto, or one can clearly see the selector switch (which the Mini 14 doesn't have) it will be identified as a [[Mini-14]] until its pedigree as an AC556 can be verified.''

=Ruger Mini-14 in Muzzelite™ MZ14 Bullpup Stock=
[[Image:RugerMuzzelite.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Ruger Mini-14 in a Muzzelite MZ14 Bullpup stock - 5.56x45mm]]

The '''Muzzelite™ MZ14''' is a polymer rifle stock that was designed to convert the Ruger Mini-14/AC556 into a compact bullpup carbine. Contrary to some urban legends, these were never seriously looked at as an alternative weapon for law enforcement. The trigger pull is shoddy, too long and the bullpup itself is back heavy. Most Police departments already had full auto AC556 rifles or semi auto Rugers (as well as [[M16 rifle series|AR-15]]s) if they needed a 5.56x45mm assault rifle. It is a simple vacuformed clamshell body that uses a rod to activate the trigger. The Muzzelite™ Stock was sold in configurations that could hold the Ruger Mini-14, the [[Ruger 10/22]] and the Marlin Camp Carbine in 9x19mm, though the only version used in most movies or television shows were the Ruger Mini 14 version. Also in films like ''[[Total Recall (1990)|Total Recall]]'', the AC556 full auto carbine with a shorter barrel was used inside this bullpup stock.

The Muzzelite™ stock enclosed Ruger Mini 14 has been used in countless B-Movies and television shows as a result of its futuristic appearance. Films like ''[[Starship Troopers]]'' utilized customized futuristic guns based on the Ruger Mini inside of a Muzzelite™ stock. These were preferred by the prop makers at Hollywood's Hand Prop Room, since the futuristic shape of the Muzzelite™ stock made it easier to create unusual science fiction rifles, but also the fact that it expands the appearance potential of the Ruger Mini 14, known in the industry as "The Jamless Wonder". The Mini-14 never jams or stovepipes using movie blanks, something that cannot be said of any of the other common 5.56x45mm weapons used in films.

24: Redemption

2013-09-07T17:10:33Z

S9771773G: /* Browning M1919A4 */

[[Image:24- Redemption.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''24: Redemption'' (2008)]]

'''''24: Redemption''''' is the 2008 television film that is set between [[24 - Season 6|Season 6]] and [[24 - Season 7|Season 7]] of the series ''[[24]]''. The film finds Jack Bauer ([[Kiefer Sutherland]]) living off the grid in Africa while helping an old friend with his school for young war orphans. Jack then finds himself having to escape through the jungle with the young men to keep them from being drafted into a rebel army. The majority of the movie was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa.

{{Film Title}}

__TOC__ 

==Glock 19==

When Jack Bauer ([[Kiefer Sutherland]]) learns from his friend Carl Benton ([[Robert Carlyle]]) that General Juma's ([[Tony Todd]]'s) rebel forces are approaching the school, Benton tells him to take out his personal arsenal, which includes a [[Glock#Glock 19|Glock 19]], a [[CZ-52]], and 4 sticks of dynamite. Jack uses the Glock 19 during the shootout at the school until it empties, and then uses an AK. Carl carries another Glock 19 which he is seen using quite frequently, but he hands this gun to Jack just before he enters the city to take the boys to the American embassy.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-106309.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Jack tries to talk down a child soldier who is pointing an AK at him.]]

==CZ 52==

A Czech [[CZ 52]] is among the weapons in Carl's arsenal. Due to a continuity error, Jack picks it up and then in the next shot it becomes the Glock 19.

[[Image:Cz52.jpg|thumb|none|300px|CZ 52 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-74408.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The arsenal box containing the Glock 19, CZ 52, and dynamite.]]

==AK derivatives==

Various types of [[AK-47|AK]]-type assault rifles are seen being wielded by General Juma's Sangalan rebels throughout the movie. The most common types are basic [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]-type rifles, which may or may not be of Russian manufacture (in all likelihood not).

[[Image:AKMRifle.jpg|thumb|none|500px|AKM, Stamped Steel Receiver w/ slant muzzle brake 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-50893.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Child soldiers firing AKMs. Note that the one in front seems to have an AK74M-style plastic stock.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-83181.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-99102.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

Some of the rebels have [[AK-47#WASR-3|WASR-3]] rifles...

[[Image:Romanian-WASR-3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|WASR-3 - 5.56x45mm.]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-75392.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the curve of the magazine.]]

...and at least one has a [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Norinco Type 56-1]], which seems to have been fitted with an [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]-style handguard and ribbed receiver cover, much like the Type 56-1s from ''[[Lord of War]]'' (in all likelihood, it ''is'' one of the same guns used in ''[[Lord of War]]'', since the armorers on ''24: Redemption'' were probably the same ones who worked on the South African scenes of the other movie).

[[Image:Type56S.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Norinco Type 56-1 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-58213.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

During the gunfight at the school, Jack Bauer grabs an underfolder AK rifle from a rebel he has killed after his Glock 19 empties. When he first grabs the weapon, it is clearly an [[AK-47#AKS-47|AKS-47]] with a milled receiver (possibly of Russian manufacture, but this is uncertain).

[[Image:AKS-47.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AKS-47 7.62x39mm]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-78285.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-78129.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

However, due to a continuity error, Jack's AK somehow transforms into a [[AK-47#Norinco Type 84|Norinco Type 84S]] folder after he ducks behind the tree while avoiding rebel gunfire.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-79451.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

During the finale, when Jack and the kids are trying to get to the embassy, a rebel child soldier who is apparently on drugs points a Yugoslav [[Zastava M70|Zastava M70AB2]] at Jack, which can be recognized by the folding grenade launcher sight in front of the gas tube. Jack encourages him to put the gun down, which he does and then flees.

==Armscor BXP==

A South African [[MAC-10#Armscor BXP|Armscor BXP]] submachine gun is carried by one of the rebels during the attack on the school.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-64002.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A very nice close-up of the BXP.]]

==Browning M1919A4==

A [[Browning M1919A4]] is seen mounted on a "technical" car when the Sangalan rebels raid the school. Note the inadequate mount the gun has.

[[Image:Vlcsnap-77170.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==Dual-mounted Galils==

During the raid at the school, one of the rebels fires a double-barreled machine gun mounted on a technical at Jack. The gun is actually made from two assault rifles which appear to be [[Galil|IMI Galil]] variants, judging by the folding stocks and charging handles. The guns have had their hand guards, rear sights, and front sights removed, and large conical flash hiders have been fitted to the ends of the barrels. They might also be South Africa R4 copies (since this movie was filmed in South Africa, and since the BXP appears in the film, it wouldn't be surprising).

==Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.I==

Carl Benton ([[Robert Carlyle]]) keeps a [[Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)|Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] rifle inside his SUV, which is handed to Jack, who then hands it back to create a distraction when Carl steps on an anti-personnel mine and sacrifices himself to kill Colonel Dubaku.

[[Image:LeeEnfield4Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I - .303 British. This was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces during World War Two, however, it was supplemented heavily with the older Lee Enfield No.1 MK.III. In service between 1941–Present]]

[[Image:Vlcsnap-102925.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Carl surrenders to Dubaku, who is unaware that he's stepped on a mine.]]

==SIG-Sauer P228==

When Chris Whitley ([[Kris Lemche]]) goes back to his apartment, he finds one of Jonas Hodges's ([[Jon Voight]]'s) men erasing the files from his computer which prove Hodges involvement in selling weapons to General Juma. The agent has a [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P228|SIG-Sauer P228]] pistol sitting nearby on the desk, which Chris eyes nervously (apparently, he's thinking of grabbing it, but never gets to do so).

[[Image:Sig-Sauer-P228.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SIG-Sauer P228 - 9mm.]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-95305.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==FN MAG-58==

An older-model [[FN MAG|FN MAG-58]] can be seen in the background while Colonel Dubaku ([[Hakeem Kae-Kazim]]) is talking to one of his men about recruiting more child soldiers for General Juma's army.

[[Image:FN MAG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN MAG-58 - 7.62x51mm NATO.]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-56916.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

== FBP ==

At least one Sangalan child soldier can be seen holding a Portuguese [[FBP Submachine Gun|FBP]] submachine gun which seems to have no trigger guard.

[[Image:FBP Submachine Gun.jpg|thumb|none|500px|FBP Submachine Gun - 9mm]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-57149.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

== M1A1 Thompson==

During the raid on the school, a rebel fires at Jack with an [[Thompson Submachine Gun#M1A1 Thompson|M1A1 Thompson]] before Jack takes him down with a burst of gunfire from his captured AK.

[[Image:M1sb.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1A1 Thompson .45 ACP as used by the U.S. military in World War 2]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-79188.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==L1A1 SLR==

Some of the Sangalan rebels are armed with [[FN FAL#L1A1|L1A1 SLR]] rifles, the British version of the [[FN FAL]].

[[Image:L1A1-SLR.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|L1A1 SLR (Self-Loading Rifle) 7.62x51mm NATO.]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-52372.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the SLR in the background.]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-111668.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==Heckler & Koch G3A3 (South African configuration)==

At least one Sangalan rebel can be seen carrying a [[Heckler & Koch G3#Heckler & Koch G3A3|Heckler & Koch G3A3]] which, judging by the barely-visible ventilation holes in the handguard, is a South African-made copy.

[[Image:SouthAfricanG3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch G3A3 (South African Configuration) - 7.62x51mm NATO.]]
[[Image:Vlcsnap-64633.jpg|thumb|none|600px|(The G3A3 is visible on the lower left of the picture)]]

== M16A1 Rifle ==

Several [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] assault rifles, fitted with [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] handguards, are seen in the hands of both Sangalan rebels and Marine guards at the U.S. embassy. However, one of these rifles seen in clear view has a cheap, plastic look, and seems to be an inexpensive airsoft replica.

[[Image:M16A1wA2Handguards.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 - outfitted with A2 handguards (from the movie [[Heat]]) - 5.56x45mm]]

'''''Company of Heroes''''' is the 2013 World War II film inspired by the [[Company of Heroes|videogame of the same name]]. The film focuses on a platoon of US Army soldiers who find themselves behind enemy lines in the Ardennes forest in 1944. After engaging enemy forces, the men find that Germany is devising a secret superweapon and resolve to retrieve the bomb for the Allies. The film stars [[Chad Michael Collins]], [[Neal McDonough]], [[Vinnie Jones]], and [[Tom Sizemore]].

The [[Gewehr 43]] is used by Nate ([[Chad Michael Collins]]) as a sniper rifle. While the rifle was used in World War II, this was a German weapon and it's not explained in the film why US forces were using it.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is used by Nate ([[Chad Michael Collins]]) as a sniper rifle. While the rifle was used in World War II, this was a German weapon and it's not explained in the film why US forces were using it. It is missing the front sight and during one battle, Nate works the charging handle like a bolt action rifle.

'''''Company of Heroes''''' is the 2013 World War II film inspired by the [[Company of Heroes|videogame of the same name]].

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is used by Nate ([[Chad Michael Collins]]) as a sniper rifle. Being a german weapon, it is however likely to be captured and used by American GIs. It is also notable that the rifle is missing the front sight, and during one of the battles Nate even works the charging handle like a bolt action rifle instead.

Also since none of the US forces have Garands, we constantly hear the familiar "ping" sound during battle scenes.

== Glock 22 ==

Just FYI for anyone that is wondering, I ID'd the Glocks as 22s from a ''Total Film'' article which had a closeup shot of the side of the pistol showing the slide markings. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:21, 2 August 2012 (CDT)

At the beginning of the film, the guy said his gun is a Glock 19 [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] ([[User talk:Excalibur01|talk]]) 00:36, 23 September 2012 (EDT)

:Look at the bottom discussion topic. if he says that it is a goof, as firstly it is a full size gun so would be a 17 if it was a 9mm, and promotional images show that the physical gun has 22 slide markings. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 13:46, 23 September 2012 (EDT)

==DEA Weapons?==

Saw a trailer for this earlier, and saw a DEA Agent armed with some sort of [[M16 rifle series|AR]]-type carbine. Anyone think they can ID it for the page? [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] ([[User talk:Orca1 9904|talk]]) 09:51, 16 September 2012 (EDT)

Can't see it from all the trailers I've seen. Guess we'll have to wait for the movie to come out. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] ([[User talk:Excalibur01|talk]]) 12:07, 16 September 2012 (EDT)

I think that literally all you see of it in the trailer is the fact that it has a Crane stock. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 12:34, 16 September 2012 (EDT)

The camera perspective in the scene is from the 'chest cam' so most of its shaky and his hand is covering the trigger and the fire selector is always facing the user so i can't tell what kind of AR-15 it is, other than it's a AR-15 (Had a flat top, FA, full fencing and possably a brass deflector, so i guess assuming it was a M4 would be fine >_>), had a Crane Stock(?), KAC rail covers, a foregrip and was using a EOTech XPS 3 or 2, also seemed to have a short barrel, a educated guess would be a 11.5" barrel. [[User:Scarecrow|scarecrow]] ([[User talk:Scarecrow|talk]]) 11:14, 24 December 2012 (EST)

The barrel looks a bit too long to be the Model 933 [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] ([[User talk:Excalibur01|talk]]) 12:31, 24 January 2013 (EST)

== 92? ==

Saw this in another trailer

[[File:Endofwatch92.jpg|thumb|600px|none|]]

Can't be 100% on whether the specific model is correct without seeing more of the gun, but think it is actually a [[Smith & Wesson 39]]. Either way, I think it is a S&W auto rather than a Beretta. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 12:45, 16 September 2012 (EDT)
:That's definitely some kind of Smith & Wesson auto. [[User:Jeddostotle7|Jeddostotle7]] ([[User talk:Jeddostotle7|talk]]) 12:50, 16 September 2012 (EDT)
On closer examination I'll upgrade what I said to it definitely being a S&W 39. Thought it might have been a 439, but you can just make out the hole in the hammer which wasn't there on the 2nd gen pistols. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 13:33, 16 September 2012 (EDT)

== Any chance the Glocks are actually 19's? ==

I ask because I saw the movie tonight and Taylor specifically calls his Glock a "Glock 19". Now I know normally I shouldn't go by what was said in the script but during one of the POV segments, I think I might have seen a 19 on the slide. [[User:Bristow8411|Bristow8411]] ([[User talk:Bristow8411|talk]]) 01:00, 22 September 2012 (EDT)
:I id'd them as 22 based on promotional photos in a magazine article where you could see the "22" slide markings. Will try and see if I can find the shot online. Also they look like they have full length slides to me, particularly in the shot where Zavala is coming through the door. Could be that the two of them are carrying different guns. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 04:50, 22 September 2012 (EDT)

Perhaps they could indeed be carrying 2 different guns, I honestly can't say without seeing the movie again and potentially a pause button. [[User:Bristow8411|Bristow8411]] ([[User talk:Bristow8411|talk]]) 17:56, 22 September 2012 (EDT)
:From that promo image it appears that at least Taylor is carrying a Glock 22 (contrary to the dialogue you quoted), and in other caps

:@Bristow Nope, this is a cap from the exact point where he says "This is the department issue sidearm, Glock 19."
http://i.minus.com/ibaxvcTJVzqYVG.jpg You can clearly see the markings noting it as a 22 in .40SW [[User:Scarecrow|scarecrow]] ([[User talk:Scarecrow|talk]]) 10:50, 24 December 2012 (EST)

Zavala has a full length Glock so if it was a 9x19mm it would be a Glock 17. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:01, 22 September 2012 (EDT)

:Well it wouldn't be the first time what was on the script and what is actually used on the screen is different. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] ([[User talk:Excalibur01|talk]]) 20:18, 25 September 2012 (EDT)

::Once again, you guys are over-analyzing too much. The explanation is very simple: The script called for Glock 19s, but the property master/armor chose to bring Glock 22s to the set, and nobody bothered to correct the actors on the inconsistency. It happens all the time (the classic example that comes to mind is ''[[Kiss the Girls]]'', where the film's antagonist calls Alex Cross's sidearm a Glock because the script dialogue was taken straight from the book, even though the gun actually used in the movie is a SIG 226). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 11:03, 24 December 2012 (EST)

== Detective sidearms ==

Can anyone identify the sidearms of the homicide detectives? [[Noahrussell007]]

== Cartel 1911s ==

I know it wasn't shown or mentioned in the movie, but being Mexican cartels, wouldn't the 1911s be more likely chambered in 38 super than 9mm? Hard to tell the distance of the mag channel from the back of the magazine.

== The Engraved Walther PPK ==

I think that engraved Walther PPK found on the cartel member was actually an Astra Constable, based on the Trigger Guard, markings, the square above the trigger, and the slanted slide serrations.

== Realism behind AKMS not penetrating Kevlar? ==

This question really spooks me. In the last shootout scene where Zavala blocked Taylor from the AK spree at point-blank range, is it really possible? I mean, Kevlar is made only to fend off small arms caliber like the 9mm and it far compared with military metal hard body armor plate so if the scene were to happen in reality, most probably Taylor can't survive right... So here's the question, will AK's 7.62x39mm penetrate 2 Kevlars? (Considering 1 for each officer, takes 3 layers to hit Taylor)--[[User:S9771773G|S9771773G]] ([[User talk:S9771773G|talk]]) 11:08, 29 August 2013 (EDT)

Great move making the redirect page with the PAL title of ''[[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies]]''.

==Ultimate Force==

I appreciate all the extra work you've done on ''[[Ultimate Force]]''. I started the page a long time ago when I was new to IMFDB, and in retrospect, there's a lot of stuff I would have done differently (like not grouping all of the AK variants under one entry for "AK-47 variants", for instance). It's good to see someone's revamping it, because I haven't had time myself.

That being said, some suggestions:

*Please do make sure that you are adding the gun photos, gun page links, and descriptions of the weapons' use (and by which characters). When Excalibur did some additional work on the page a few years back, he was a bit lazy about adding that stuff.

*Since I and Excalibur last worked on the page, IMFDB has a new policy of dividing up TV shows with lots of weapons by season (i.e. ''[[24]]'' and ''[[Stargate: SG-1]]''). The ''[[Ultimate Force]]'' page is getting to be really, really long, so you might want to consider doing the same thing. Since you (wisely) labeled all of your screenshots according to the episode, it should be pretty easy to do this. (I can help you with that, if you want.)

*You might want to group weapons of the same manufacturer near to each other (i.e. SIG P225 and P228 both appear way below SIG P226, which is near the top of the page).

*Your screenshots show that the "Colt CAR-15" with Cobray CM203 that is used by Henno and several other characters in Seasons 3 and 4 has a "Stowaway" pistol grip, which means that it's not a Colt but rather a 10" barrel Olympic Arms K3B carbine fitted with a fake XM177 flash hider. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:21, 20 July 2011 (CDT)

==movie guns==
beats me. Remember that movie arsenals have tons of franken guns. We have a pile of Bushmaster or Colt or (fill in the blank) full auto papered lowers and auto sears and another pile of barreled uppers. Sometimes the gun is a complete gun, but most of the time, it is built up from parts (and usually from different manufacturers). The pics, I just grabbed what looked right at the time from the gun rack. I would one day like to go back and make sure that each lower is properly mated to the right upper for historical purposes. Also even though we use COLT as the standard for IMFDB when talking about the various model types, there are TONS of receivers built by 3rd party manufacturers. I know of at least three makes in inventory from companies that went out of business in the 1980s. And we all know the many makers today. I need to go back sometime and fix the pics for the samples (try to make extra sure that all the parts are from the right lineage), but that takes time. It IS one of the many things on my list to do when I have time. But as per IMFDB, they are still good for our site, only in that they are (a) movie blank adapted weapons which have been used in movies and TV and (b) at least once or at the time they were photographed, they were used to represent that model type. I know post 1986 most of the AR type receivers built were A2 style with the strengthening bits. The only real A1 lowers were on guns purchased prior to the release of the A2. I slapped a ton of different colt Uppers on whatever lower was available at the time. Usually trying to get it as close as I could. The custom build ups were the most time consuming though. Hope this helps. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:58, 5 August 2011 (CDT)
::Okay, you da man. I did a quick check on one of the guns and it WAS a non-colt lower that was a pre-86 transferable full auto conversion. Your eagle eyes are keeping me honest! ;) LOL. I will try to mate a real Colt A1 lower to a Colt A1 upper and be sure it's a Colt. Back in the day when I first started, most of IMFDB's gun pics were horrible airsoft photos, the veteran members & mods can attest to that. I was just rushing to get real movie armory weapons as soon as possible. But I really should not have a mixed and match Hollywood built up gun when there are plenty of 100% complete guns out there. I just grabbed what was convenient on the rack to photograph it. Thanks to YOU, though, I will try to get 100% correct pics to replace the sample pics for the M16 page. Now I notice weird little things that I missed (for one, the old style rear sling swivel should not be on any of the post XM16E1 guns, etc.) I just wanted to thank you again for your sharp vision. It makes us more accurate when members catch things like that :D best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 16:16, 6 September 2011 (CDT)

Thanks for your comment, I think you're quite right. I simply assumed that because the movie was taking place in Russia, it would be a Russian Maxim, but upon closer inspection it does indeed look like a Vickers MK1. It's probably come off one of the Allied support shipment that went through Murmansk harbour in the early years of WWII.

== GAU-8 ==

Much as I'm kinda fond of that full-length shot of the GAU-8, it's not as good for a page image; it isn't as widely linked-to as the high-contrast version, and that version is cropped to focus more on the end of the gun / ammo drum rig you're actually likely to be trying to ID. It's a better image, that's why I put the other one on the talk page. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 19:21, 19 October 2011 (CDT)

:I don't know about that; the gun isn't "obscured" by the feed mechanism since you're very unlikely to see it ''without'' that mechanism; if anything, the one with the helmet is an inferior picture since it doesn't show a part of the gun it's always attached to if it's actually shown working. The drum isn't really needed since, well, it's a drum; it's not that distinctive and likely to be fictionalised if the weapon is shown in a non-standard mounting anyway. I'm trying to remember, but I'm sure I've seen GAU-8s in games which aren't attached to A-10s. I'd keep both; the one with the helmet is fine if it's shown on an A-10, the other is useful for ID'ing it if it's shown outside the aircraft. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 05:12, 20 October 2011 (CDT)

::Yeah, but as I edited, I think we should keep both the pictures that are there now. Goalkeeper would get its own subsection (like Phalanx on the Vulcan page) if we start having them spotted. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 05:42, 20 October 2011 (CDT)

==help with M16s==
So are you volunteering to be my detail check man? ;) I need someone who knows a lot more about M16s than I do to go one step further. Also my own knowledge has grown since I joined this site, because of the attention to detail. Of course there is the conundrum that many so called variants are never really seen in movies, the more common version will always be the norm. Case in point: the preponderance of C&C HK94s in Hollywood. And even those registered SMGs still exist, but they've been updated with correct trigger packs and barrels. Anyway, thanks for the research! It is always appreciated. I've struggled with the research element in the past. The easiest thing for me to do is to actually GET the gun and photograph it. Please let me know if you're interested in helping me with other M16 identifications. :) best regards. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 22:28, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

== re: M26/M76 ==

Trust me, I'm Finnish ;)

But in all seriousness, I'm 98.9% sure. The Rk 62's production numbers were closer to half a million (some sources say they're still produced as we speak), as it was adopted by our armed forces (it was designed with the Nordic climate in mind). Lots of (civilian/semi-auto only) Rk 62s were also exported. The M76 was later designed to be even more robust, but our armed forces (in all their glory) desided ''NOT'' to fully replace the M76s, as they didn't feel the need for it. (Sort of like what happened to FN SCAR as the replacement for AR-15 in your armed forces.) Of course some of the M76s were adopted, but in far smaller numbers (like what happened to HK416). It was only produced for about ten years, with smaller production numbers, and most of them were shipped overseas.

In America, the M76 ''could'' be more common, as half of the produced version were .223s (the more common/ preferred round in the US, I think?). But the Rk 62 was produced for over 50 years in huge numbers (also offered in .223 in export)

Oh, and I got some extra info for you, if you like:

[[Image:ValmetM62.jpg|thumb|none|300px|]]

The Rk 62 above is a very old model. The handguard with the small holes in it means that it has day sights.

After criticism (from Mihali Kalashnikov himself) the rifle was changed to have tritium night sights. The basic model of the Rk 62 was also changed to have plastic furniture (for ease of production), and if an Rk 62 has the modernized handguard (seen below:) it has the tritium sights. Some Rk 62 were still manufactured with the daysight/holed handguard, but as our winters are [[30 Days of Night|very, very dark]], they figured "what the hell" and scrapped it in mid 1980s.

[[Image:Rk 62 with m76 furniture.jpg|thumb|none|300px|The tubular buttstock has a small layer of plastic on it, so your cheek won't freeze on it in temperatures of -30 celsius (/-22 fahrenheit)!]]

::Beats me. I'd say that was a scope mount of some sort, but nothing like I've ever seen on a Valmet before.

Great shot. But do you know WHEN it was made? and who got it? It would help us ID guns that were used years earlier. Right now, guns like the Draco are place holders for what we suspect are customized AIRs (which were 5.56) and converted to 7.62x39mm but this would be more correct. But if it came out after the movies in question, then a customized movie armorer gun was used. Thanks for the AK help. We're slowly but surely filling in the historical gaps on guns.

==blank guns==
It's not an issue since your work can be merged easily into a generic page, but guns which are not real (but not part of the fictional guns section) are not considered worthy of their own pages. Previously we did not have any entries in the 'theatrical blank' fire only weapons, and only mentioned them in the pages that they appeared in. Even then, they usually had a spot in the REAL firearm page, upon which they were based. As this one and a few others are cropping up, we will have to created a new 'Blank fire only guns" page which are designed from the ground up to not be a live firearm, but also is not a copy of an existing firearm design. This and a few others fall into this category. Again, your nice work won't be lost but we should group all of the 'custom design or hybrid' blank fire only guns into one page, just like we did with the 'non-guns' (i.e. the flash paper guns). :) Thanks.

==blank guns==
this one [[Olympic 6 Blank Firing Revolver]] is a generic revolver design, not based on any LIVE weapon that we can determine. There will be MORE, I can guarantee that. So far 90% of the blank only guns are direct and pretty good copies of actual live gun designs and thus belong at the bottom of those pages. But we do need a page for the weird, nondescript or hybrid guns like [http://www.maxarmory.com/products/ASI_MAX_UZI_Blank_Front_Firing_Machine_Gun-3411-2.html] which I am sure will start appearing in some productions. They call it an "uzi", but to include it on the actual UZI page is an insult to the Uzi guns :D. Be sure to present the page as for those 'theatrical guns' which fire proprietary blanks only. What is interesting is that only recently the ATF and Customs are allowing import of 'front fire' blank guns. Previously only the fully blocked barrels and guns which flash only upwards were allowed. I think these guns fire 'backwards' like the old blow back toy guns from Japan but I have not seen one to inspect it's interior mechanism.

Hi. Thanks for the info on the M107. Looks like one cannot even trust Barrett's own page, the one page that should know it right... Anyways thanks. And here is what I wanted to know: Would it be a good idea to create a "United States Marine Corps" manufacturer page and move there the M40 from Remington, as well as add the M39 EMR and the Designated Marksman Rifle? Maybe even the MEU(SOC)... And the second thing: does your nick have anything to do with the 552 Commando rifle? :) - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 15:17, 19 January 2012 (CST)

== AK-200 in GRFS ==

I figured I continue the discussion here: There is still at least 4 months till the release of the game, so maybe they will change it to an AK-12. I will leave it as the 200 for now. I am a little bit confused about how the AK-200 actually looks like., after reading several different sources. If it is just a 74M/101/103 with rails, then you think you could create one in Photoshop and upload it? It would be just a PS job, but at least we had a pic of it. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 04:40, 31 January 2012 (CST)
:Thanks, the pic is perfect. And according to a video, there will be at least 3 different buttstocks for most of the weapons: fixed (reduces kick), folding (reduces weight penalty) and folding in folded position (increases maneuverability). Maybe they didn't know that since the 74M, the stocks can fold, that is why they added a wire stock. I am also starting to think that the AK-103 on the GRFS page is actually that AK-200 with a different stock and other attachments, like the X26 Taser. We will know more when they release the game. Thanks again for the help. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 07:06, 31 January 2012 (CST)

In all 3 games featuring the AWC, the rifle has an interesting stock. [http://www.imfdb.org/w/images/a/ad/RS3-AWC.jpg Here] is an image. (Look at the low left corner where the red HUD is.)

== The Dark Knight Rises ==
Why did you change the name of the AR-15 variant on the Dark Knight Rises page from a Colt Canada C8 CQB to a Mk. 18 Mod 0? As far as my knowledge goes the Mk. 18 has rails for handguards but the pictured weapon, wich coresponds with the weapon seen in the prolouge, has the short ribbed handguards.

==Sommer & Ockenfuß Griffrepetierer==
No foreign lettering allowed in Gun titles. We try to use the English romanization of the title. So we avoid using umlauts and ß. german has always been rare, we've been policing against Cyrillic most of the time. I did a google search under Sommer & Ockenfuß. Every page was a german language page. I did a google search under Sommer & Ockenfuss and then came up with all the English language pages about the gun. Since English is our primary language on IMFDB (and protocols are American) I ask that you change the title to Ockenfuss. Thanks.

== Proposal to create a page on Firearms used by Taiwan (ROC) Forces. ==

Hi there, after my academic examination, ends on 8 Oct,i would have all the time in the world to create a new page about firearms used by ROC forces.

Since that is my home country, i am pretty familiar and have the reference to the firearms. My intention is to simply contribute to the site, without stirring up political/diplomatic conflicts...

Is just that i have yet to create a proper page before and may need help in formatting and polishing the page...

:According to SIG the SEALs currently use a P226 with a Picatinny rail that is not the standard rail found on P226s. In the past they have used folded steel slides without any rail or other outward identifying marks. When they went to the stainless steel slides an anchor was added to be able to easily tell which were the new slides and which were the older model. At some point a rail was added during the use of the stainless slides, which lead to a complaint that not all light attachments worked on it (can't complain about an out of spec rail on a gun without a rail), so the current model was outfitted with a true 1913 picatinny rail.

And as I stated before, just because it isn't there doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For the record I never stated it was their 'standard issue.' I said it was their regular sidearm.

That is no closer match than the stainless one, as the M45 will have a tan finish. I was the one who made the entry with the XSE image, the reason being that it was the only image on here and I didn't want to add an image of a gun that hadn't appeared in anything yet. But as someone has now uploaded the tan one, might as well use it. Also, the reason I originally had it listed as an XSE is because that it what we currently list the railed frame XSE (which is what this gun is) as. Colt currently markets it as the "Colt Rail Gun" but it was originally called the "Colt XSE Rail Gun". As it seems that Colt have now split them, I suppose it might be an idea to split them on the 1911 page into "XSE" and "Rail Gun" sections. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 15:18, 30 July 2012 (CDT)

== Late 19th Century Special Operations Firearms? ==

This has nothing to do with this page per se, but of all the pages here this one is most fitting. I have been wondering what American "Special Forces" or what you would like to call them, would have used in the 1870/1880's?

If some soldiers/agents/assassains would been sent on a specific important mission, what firearms would they have used? Winchester 1873's? Sharps Carbines? Springfield Trapdoor Rifles? Spencer Repeating Rifles?

Would they use Shotguns? And what Handguns?

Thanks in Advance!--[[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 10:06, 12 September 2012 (EDT)
:Short answer what people would consider American "Special Forces" didn't exist in the 1870/1880's. The closest thing to that would have been the Calvary, or maybe Buffalo Solders, both of which would have used the carbine version of whatever rifle was standard issue (I think the Trapdoor Springfield, but in the early 1870's it could have been something else). The prevailing strategy of that time period was still to have troops gather en mass when fighting each other. The modern idea of special forces comes from the First South African/Second Boer War (1899-1902). In this conflict the British saw the the effectiveness of the Boer Commandos in reeking havoc on there numerically superior forces. Later the British implemented the strategy within there own forces, to the point where they even borrowed the name of those specialized solders from there adversary ie commando (Boer=white South African of Dutch decent). [[User:Dover500|Dover500]] ([[User talk:Dover500|talk]]) 11:06, 12 September 2012 (EDT)

How about a hypotethical situation then? If ever there was a national threat coming from a single concentrated group of people, who obviously had no army, and soldiers were sent to eliminate them and everyone else at whatever place they resided, would there just be ordinary soldiers with Trapdoor Rifles sent there then?

Also, while not related to the army, what would the Pinkertons have used around that time?--[[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 11:33, 12 September 2012 (EDT)
:In that hypothetical situation Calvary would be the first group sent in, most likely with light artillery for increased firepower. The main firearms would be Trapdoor carbines and colt SAA or Smith and Wesson model 3 revolvers. For the tactics that would be used, look at the conflicts in the midwest involving Native Americans, as that is rather close to the situation which you are describing. Pinkertons were known to use mainly shotguns and revolvers, as they tended to get in conflicts at close range, but as to specifics of which type of each I do not know. [[User:Dover500|Dover500]] ([[User talk:Dover500|talk]]) 12:26, 12 September 2012 (EDT)
::If you take the 7th Cavalry at the battle of Little Bighorn in 1876 as an example, they were generally armed with 1873 Trapdoor carbines and carried a pair of Colt SAA revolvers (sabred were not carried to cut down on weight and noise). The officers would have also potentially have carried personally purchased weapons which they would also use for hunting, such as Remington Rolling Blocks and Sharp's rifles along with shotguns and possibly Winchester 1873s. Custer himself was though to have personally carried a pair of custom Webley RICs and a sporterised .50 Remington Rolling Block rifle. Scouts would have carried a variety of weaponry, often having both a single shot "buffalo" rifle like a Sharp's for long range shooting along with a repeating rifle such as a Henry, Spencer or Winchester, plus whatever sidearms they had. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 13:03, 12 September 2012 (EDT)

Thanks, that is very informative. Were Henry's and Spencers still used at that time? I thought Winchester was all the rage then.

If no one has anything else too add then i have gotten enough answers, very helpful of both of you.--[[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 14:08, 12 September 2012 (EDT)

''Driven to Kill'' is a 2009 DTV (direct to video) thriller directed by Jeff King and stars [[Steven Seagal]] as Ruslan Drachev, [[Igor Jijikine]] as Mikhail Abramov and Dmitry Chepovetsky as Stephan Abramov. Twenty years after Ruslan has quit the Russian mob headed by Mikhail Abramov, the now husband of his ex-wife, he returns to the United States to attend his daughter's wedding. After a supposed robbery leaves Ruslan´s ex-wife dead and his daughter in critical condition, he decides to ignore the law enforcement officers who are ordered to look into the case and find out for himself who wanted his loved ones dead. The weapons on this movie were supplied by the Vancouver-based company Felcan Enterprises.

==Additional Game Info==

(moved from main page due to length.) - --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 20:21, 1 May 2011 (CDT)

Realism is taken to a new level in this WWII MMO. The weapons and vehicles are modeled utilizing historical data after hundreds of hours of research.

The advanced physics and ballistics systems create a military-grade simulation.
The game is a constant work in progress meaning it is always in development and new features, updates, weapons and vehicles get added over time.

For more information about the game visit: http://www.battlegroundeurope.com/

or the official wiki: http://wiki.wwiionline.com/

Free trial can be found here: http://www.battlegroundeurope.com/index.php/component/content/article/64-about-wwiiol1/6916-signupstaging

There are 3 Nations featured in the game, Germany, United Kingdom and France.

The infantry weapons can be used while standing, crouching and in prone position. All weapons have to be aimed with their 3D modelled iron sights, there is no cross hair. You can fire them unaimed too, but you will have a hard time hitting anything except with sub machine guns at close range.

Heavier weapons like the anti tank rifles and light machine guns can be deployed using their mono and bipods at geometry in the 3D world and also while prone. This will make them a lot more accurate.

Light mortars can only be used in deployed mode while prone.

This list only shows the infantry portion of the game, there are also about 90 vehicles of different types (air, land and sea).

Currently the game features the following infantry classes:

Rifleman

Submachine Gunner

Grenadier

British Anti-Tank Rifle

Sapper

Light Machine Gunner

Sniper

Mortarman

Each class has its own weapon loadout. This is also resembled on the third person avatars which all have different fieldgear and equipment according to the weapons they wield. There are also paratrooper models for each nation, they have different loadouts than the standard infantry classes but use the same weapons.

Please keep in mind that all screenshots are compressed for file size reduction. Some game content is still work in progress, screenshots on this website will get updated regularly. The HUD (heads up display) was disabled for those screenshots to get a better view.

==Discussion==

Can you delete the information about the game's classes, this website is not a game FAQ and should be about the firearms only.--[[User:Mpe2010|Mpe2010]] 21:41, 29 April 2011 (CDT)

Hello, I am working on it! Give me a few days please.--hchris

Done - hchris

:You're not quite done. Not how all of the quality pages are formatted; all images are oriented to the left, and the links to the weapon articles are in the descriptions placed immediately before the stock weapon image, not in the section headers.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 11:54, 30 April 2011 (CDT)

I made the pictures left and right so the page doesn't get too long and also the right space is used and not just white. There are a lot of pages where the links to the weapons are in the headers, I checked a lot of pages and it was done this way so I did it the same way, what is the problem? - hchris

Hchris,

You were told about putting the page in the correct format that what is on there now is not. Please refer to the [[Rules, Standards and Principles]] page for some details. The agreed upon format is that weapons are hyperlinked below in the description of the weapon. Also, putting the screenshots on the right is also not the proper format as well. A lot of pages (especially the videogame pages) need to be corrected of this and should not be followed. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 20:21, 1 May 2011 (CDT)

But why did you combine the British and French weapons?? Have you ever played the game? Those are 2 completely independent fractions NOT considered as combined Allied Forces. You cannot even play as French infantry when you choose your British persona, so why put them together?

I can understand the other modifications, but the combination of the French and British armes just doesn't make sense. Next time you change something please at least play the game first. -- hchris

I will try to put more work into this tomorrow so it finally fits your expectations -- hchris

All pictures now correctly displayed with "none", further work will be done in the next few days -- hchris

:Seeing as you have several listings for the same weapons, you may want to consider using the Handguns/Submachine Guns/Assault Rifles/Sniper Rifles/etc. format instead of organizing it by factions.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 00:33, 7 May 2011 (CDT)

Actally PistolJunkie is right, this site is about what guns are used in which movie/tv show/anime/video game, etc. This is not a "Who used what gun" site (Actor Pages don't count), the majority of the people who will read the WWIIO:BE page are going to be more concerned with "what gun is ______". Besides you can put in the description which faction the firearm belongs to.- [[User:1morey]] June 27, 2011 7:02 PM (EST)

The current format is fine. Whether or not you want it divided by faction or by firearm type, the page is sectioned well and is easy to navigate for anyone who uses it. There's no need to argue over technicalities when it works fine the way it is. [[User:Chitoryu12|Chitoryu12]] 08:28, 16 April 2012 (CDT)

==Additional Game Info==

(moved from main page due to length.) - --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 20:21, 1 May 2011 (CDT)

Realism is taken to a new level in this WWII MMO. The weapons and vehicles are modeled utilizing historical data after hundreds of hours of research.

The advanced physics and ballistics systems create a military-grade simulation.
The game is a constant work in progress meaning it is always in development and new features, updates, weapons and vehicles get added over time.

For more information about the game visit: http://www.battlegroundeurope.com/

or the official wiki: http://wiki.wwiionline.com/

Free trial can be found here: http://www.battlegroundeurope.com/index.php/component/content/article/64-about-wwiiol1/6916-signupstaging

There are 3 Nations featured in the game, Germany, United Kingdom and France.

The infantry weapons can be used while standing, crouching and in prone position. All weapons have to be aimed with their 3D modelled iron sights, there is no cross hair. You can fire them unaimed too, but you will have a hard time hitting anything except with sub machine guns at close range.

Heavier weapons like the anti tank rifles and light machine guns can be deployed using their mono and bipods at geometry in the 3D world and also while prone. This will make them a lot more accurate.

Light mortars can only be used in deployed mode while prone.

This list only shows the infantry portion of the game, there are also about 90 vehicles of different types (air, land and sea).

Currently the game features the following infantry classes:

Rifleman

Submachine Gunner

Grenadier

British Anti-Tank Rifle

Sapper

Light Machine Gunner

Sniper

Mortarman

Each class has its own weapon loadout. This is also resembled on the third person avatars which all have different fieldgear and equipment according to the weapons they wield. There are also paratrooper models for each nation, they have different loadouts than the standard infantry classes but use the same weapons.

Please keep in mind that all screenshots are compressed for file size reduction. Some game content is still work in progress, screenshots on this website will get updated regularly. The HUD (heads up display) was disabled for those screenshots to get a better view.

Hello, I am working on it! Give me a few days please.--hchris

Done - hchris

:You're not quite done. Not how all of the quality pages are formatted; all images are oriented to the left, and the links to the weapon articles are in the descriptions placed immediately before the stock weapon image, not in the section headers.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 11:54, 30 April 2011 (CDT)

I made the pictures left and right so the page doesn't get too long and also the right space is used and not just white. There are a lot of pages where the links to the weapons are in the headers, I checked a lot of pages and it was done this way so I did it the same way, what is the problem? - hchris

Hchris,

You were told about putting the page in the correct format that what is on there now is not. Please refer to the [[Rules, Standards and Principles]] page for some details. The agreed upon format is that weapons are hyperlinked below in the description of the weapon. Also, putting the screenshots on the right is also not the proper format as well. A lot of pages (especially the videogame pages) need to be corrected of this and should not be followed. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 20:21, 1 May 2011 (CDT)

But why did you combine the British and French weapons?? Have you ever played the game? Those are 2 completely independent fractions NOT considered as combined Allied Forces. You cannot even play as French infantry when you choose your British persona, so why put them together?

I can understand the other modifications, but the combination of the French and British armes just doesn't make sense. Next time you change something please at least play the game first. -- hchris

I will try to put more work into this tomorrow so it finally fits your expectations -- hchris

All pictures now correctly displayed with "none", further work will be done in the next few days -- hchris

:Seeing as you have several listings for the same weapons, you may want to consider using the Handguns/Submachine Guns/Assault Rifles/Sniper Rifles/etc. format instead of organizing it by factions.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 00:33, 7 May 2011 (CDT)

==Video game appearances of this pistol series==

Why is it that the "Video Game appearances" tables have a column named "Passwords"? I don't think it's for passwords to unlock them, because to my knowledge very few video games actually have a password system to unlock weapons. Wouldn't it make more sense to have a "Notes" after the "Mods" section where certain pertinent but miscellaneous information can be written, such as what copyright-infringement-avoiding name it goes under in the game, or whether it is chambered in a non-standard caliber?

I'd like this cleared up. Oh, and someone needs to include a note saying that "mods" is short for "modifications/customizations for the weapon," not "downloadable modifications to the game itself."--[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 06:20, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

:I agree. Frankly I think both the "Mods" and "Passwords" sections can go, since the latter is pointless and the former's purpose can be adequately served by "Notes". --[[User:MattyDienhoff|MattyDienhoff]] 15:17, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

==Colt Government Model Section==
With regard to the following sentence:

''"Aside from Colt selling the M1911A1 to the US military, the gun was also sold under the name "Colt Government Model" to the civilian market, and called the "Pre-Series 70" guns today."''

First, the Colt Government Model was introduced in 1912, and as such, it was originally in the M1911 configuration. When the U.S. Military switched to the M1911A1 configuration in the mid 1920s, Colt began manufacturing their Government Models in the M1911A1 configuration as well. So early Government Models parallel the military's M1911 configuration, while later Government Models (after the mid 1920s) parallel the military's M1911A1 configuration. Additionally, not only pre-Series 70 guns are Government Models. Series 70 and Series 80 guns are both Government Models. In fact, Colt still makes the Government Model to this day in various configurations.

With regard to the following sentence:

''"For IMFDB purposes, this can also be referred to as an M1911A1. In this manner, there is no need to list film, television, anime, video games in this section."''

It is sloppy to refer to a Colt Government Model as an M1911A1. "M1911A1" is the U.S. Military designation for a particular type of gun, and most of them were not even made by Colt (Remington Rand [the typewriter company] made most of them). I can see referring to a gun as an "M1911 type" or "M1911A1 type" if the manufacturer can't be determined, but when you simply type "M1911" or "M1911A1" you are referring to a U.S. Military contract pistol.

On top of that, the pictured gun in the Colt Government Model section is not even a "Pre-Series 70", it is a pre-enhanced Series 80 Government Model.

:So it's like how we don't call it the Beretta M9, we call it the Beretta 92FS. -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 03:52, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

::With the M9 vs. 92FS situation, it is next to impossible to tell the difference between the two onscreen, unless there is a closeup allowing one to read the markings. In such cases I would say, if a civilian character is using the gun, it is probably intended to be a 92F or 92FS. If a military character is using it, it is probably intended to be an M9, regardless of what the actual prop is. I would assume that most—if not all—movie and TV props are actually 92Fs or 92FSs, because I don't believe that actual M9s have ever been made available for civilian sale.

::With the M1911 or M1911A1 vs. the Colt Government Model (or other brands of 1911-type guns), it is usually possible to tell the difference onscreen without being able to read the markings. For example, the Colt Government Model does not have a lanyard loop. Most M1911A1s were parkerized, while no Government Models were parkerized. When dealing with more modern Government Models, there are even more differences. For example, starting in 1950, Government Models started coming with a full-shelf thumb safety; while all M1911[A1]s had partial-shelf thumb safeties. Also at this time, Government Models started being given a finish with polished flats and matte radiuses, while blued and Du-Lite (similar to bluing in appearance) M1911A1s had polished radiuses and brushed flats or entirely polished (depending on the manufacturer and/or time of manufacture); and of course the more common parkerized M1911A1s were simply all matte.

::Additionally, the newer Government Models as mentioned above have narrow hammers with polished sides left "in the white", and polished chamber hoods also left "in the white". Many M1911A1s had wide-spur hammers, and the ones that had narrow hammers were fully finished (no polished "in the white" sides) and they all had fully blued barrels, including the otherwise parkerized ones (no polished "in the white" chamber hoods).

::Most of the Government Models you see onscreen from the early 70s to the mid-to-late '80s were actually 9mm versions, though they were usually representing a "forty-five" onscreen. This had to do with reliable functioning with readily available 9mm blanks. Colt introduced the 9mm version of the Government Model when they introduced the Series 70 in the early 1970s, and the 9mm version of the CGM had a lowered ejection port (while the .45 ACP version still had the standard military style ejection port). With the introduction of the Series 80 Government Model in 1983, the .45 ACP version also got a lowered ejection port. No M1911[A1] had a lowered ejection port.

::I'll give an example. In the show Magnum, P.I., his gun is blued with polished flats and matte radiuses; polished "in the white" chamber hood and hammer sides, and a lowered ejection port. It is clear from looking that the gun is a Series 70 Colt Government Model chambered for 9mm (though it was always addressed as a "forty-five" in the show's dialogue); and is definitely not an M1911A1. Recently the gun came up for auction and is now in the NRA's National Firearms Museum, and it has been confirmed that that is exactly what the main prop gun was (serial # 70L33101 to be exact).

==Primary M1911 description==
Who wrote this? The historical paragraph (on the background of the M1911) implies that the M1911 was replaced by the U.S. Military AFTER Operation Desert Storm (1991) which is not true. The Beretta M92 (M9) was already approved and adopted by 1985.

Well for a period of time both the 1911 and M9 were in use by the U.S. military,therefore just because the M9 was in service does'nt mean it replaced the 1911 by that time, and for awhile soldiers actualy got to choose which weapon they prefered :o [[User:Leadback|Leadback]]
======================================
The Beretta M9 officially replaced the M1911 in 1985. They still used the M1911, but they weren't buying anymore. They simply phased them out over the years. Now there are some units in the US military that still use the M1911. The M9 is really only used by conventional military nowadays. For example, the Navy SEALs don't even use the M9 or M1911 anymore. They have the H&K MK23 Mod 0. Which is a purpose-built USP .45. I've even heard of some SEALs using the Ruger Mk. II. It's a .22 target pistol with an integrated silencer on it.

Soldiers were never given the choice to choose. They were given the M9, but many didn't like it. It was big, many could not shoot it accurately, and lots contested the effectiveness of the 9x19 round. Lots of people I work with were in the military around the time of the switch, were given the M9, hated it, and decided just to keep carrying the M1911. It wasn't until they were given an official order that they were forced to carry the M9. And even there, there were times when they went back to the M1911s the military had stored up. For example, out in the deserts. The magazines the military bought were junk, got sand in them, and jammed. The M1911 functioned perfectly. Same thing is happening over there now.

wrong. Special Operations soldiers are given their choice of a sidearm( and assault rifle). 1stSFOD-D has been using 1911s since foundation. infact Larry Vickers (Nighthawk Customs) has worked very closely with Delta Force. Nighthawk 1911s are being used by Delta. 2- the Seals in Vietnam started out with the Ruger Mk II Suppressed. and know one still used the HK MK23. it was fazed out years ago because of how bulky it is. SEALs use the Sig Sauer P226 or USPs. but that is still a generalization. because all SOF have a choice in sidearm [[User:Dirtdiver6421|Dirtdiver6421]] 00:20, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the M in the page title incorrect? These are Colt 1911s (or 1911a1s, etc.), not Colt M1911s, unless referred to by US military nomenclature, just the same way that a Beretta 92f is an M9 only to the US Army and a SIG Sauer P228 is an M11 only in USAF terms. Just because it's the model of 1911 doesn't make it an M1911, any more than a '67 Shelby GT500 is an M67 Shelby GT500.[[User:YourMessageHere|YourMessageHere]] 08:09, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
::No. The Colt pistol was formally adopted by the Army on March 29, 1911, thus gaining its designation, M1911 (Model of 1911). Only examples or prototypes prior to the year 1911 would NOT have the M designation (which is extremely rare). Between the years of 1907 and 1910 the Colt pistol was constantly being modified and re-designed to win the Army's trials for adoption of a new handgun. The gun was only mass produced AFTER winning the Army's pistol trials. The Beretta 92FS was already famous world wide and was commercially available as the 92F/FS for YEARS before the Army adopted it. Every 1911 design came AFTER the M1911 (aka Model of 1911) so it is the correct nomenclature. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:20, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Using "1911" to refer to any and all pistols based on the M1911 design has only been popular for about fifteen years. Prior to that, the vast majority of such pistols were Colts, and were usually called "Colt .45s", even if they were pistols made by wartime contractors like Remington Rand. Those commercial guns that weren't made by Colt, as made by Vega, Randall, Federal Ordnance, Essex, etc., were called "clones", as they were generally close copies of the Colt. When makers started adding previously "custom" features to production-line guns, and branching into areas that Colt hadn't, a new name was needed, and "1911" became popular. The problem that I have with the various names on the site is the mixing of military and commercial designations; a gun cannot be a "M1911A1 Government Model", as M1911A1 is a military designation, and Government Model is what Colt has always called the civilian version of the "M" military pistols. Colt has made M1911s (1912-circa 1924), M1911A1s (circa 1926-1945), and Government Models (1912-date), but you can't mix or combine those names without confusing the issue.

==Caliber question==
I thought I would ask permission before making this change considering how important this article is: in the specifications category the caliber is listed solely as .45 ACP. I was wondering whether or not that should be changed to include .380 ACP, .38 Super, 9mm, and .40 S&W?
:-[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

No, since the ORIGINAL Colt M1911 is .45 ACP Caliber, it should stay like that, since copies of the M1911 maybe have different calibers those should be put on the "copy" section

Agreed --[[PunisherDave]]

==M1991 Series==
I was wondering: what exactly is the difference between the 1911 series and the 1991 series? -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 17:18, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Colt introduced (announced) the M1991A1 in 1991 as a sort of economy version of the Government Model, resembling the military M1911A1, and with the serial numbers picking up where the military gun left off after WWII. The gun was made in that form until about 2003, at which time the finish was changed to polished blue rather than matte blue, and the black rubber grips replaced with checkered wood.
:I heard a guy explain on youtube that 1991 got "extra safety feature" which blocked firing pin movement entirely when trigger was not pressed; allegedly this modification appeared after a incident involving police officer accidentally killing suspect while snapping him with the gun. However, this modification somehow managed to eject firing pin from the slide during decocking so only few people liked it --[[User:Cover72|Cover72]] 21:59, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
::The YouTube guy doesn't know what he's talking about. The Colt M1991A1 did have the Series 80 firing pin safety, but this was introduced on all Colt Government Models in the early 1980s when the Series 80 version replaced the Series 70. The modification has never caused any problems, aside from perhaps complicating the trigger pull slightly, making it a little more difficult to achieve a good "trigger job". Also, the Series 80 parts are easily removed (and normally a few other minor things are done), and the gun will function just fine, in the same manner as a pre-Series 80 gun. The Series 80 firing pin safety wasn't prompted by any specific accidental police shooting. The only thing a non-Series 80 1911-type gun can accidentally shoot due to the lack of a firing pin safety is the ground. In other words, if a non-Series 80 1911-type gun is dropped from a significantly high height (6 feet or so I believe) directly onto its muzzle, the firing pin can continue forward with enough inertia to dent the primer, thus firing the gun (into the ground of course).

::It is too bad that Colt went to the trouble of designing the Series 80 modifications back in the early '80s, because the remote risk of accidental discharge as I described above is more easily solved by simply using a titanium firing pin (rather than the usual steel firing pin) along with a different weight firing pin spring. Since the titanium firing pin weighs less than a steel one, it has less inertia, and a 1911 so-equipped will pass the drop test just fine. In fact, Colt now uses titanium firing pins on their Series 70 Government Models that they started reissuing several years ago. If Colt had thought of the titanium firing pin idea back in the early '80s, they wouldn't have had to make any actual changes to the legendary 1911 design (changes which annoyed a lot of people), and they might not have lost so much of the 1911 market.

::Now, about the M1991A1: it went through a few different incarnations, but it originally was simply an economy version of the Series 80 Colt Government Model. Instead of the polished blue finish of the Government Model (polished flats and matte radiuses), it had an all-matte blue finish. It also had really cheap plastic grips that didn't fit well (they fell short of the bottom of the grip frame by about 3/16"). It also had a big, ugly rollmark on the slide, with "M1991A1" emblazoned in huge block letters. Finally, it came with a flat mainspring housing and a long trigger (both plastic), which was like the original M1911 (pre-M1911A1), which was ironic considering it was named M1991'''A1'''. --[[User:MaximRecoil|MaximRecoil]] 09:13, 17 December 2011 (CST)

==Police service pistols==

Before the 90s were American Police ever issued the M1911, or were they're only given to the FBI and SWAT team?

- Some regular state/county/municipal departments might have used a 1911 as a standard duty-weapon before semiautos came into heavy use following the eighties, but I imagine that's a very low number. I certainly don't know of any specific departments myself offhand. Not that many departments use 'em much today. As a 1911 generally was considered a large pistol with a fairly powerful round it wasn't considered easy to use and handle by regular officers. Same general reason why departments in older times stuck with .38s over .357s - The .357 was generally considered too powerful for standard-duty officers. As such, most police departments used 9mms when they first went to automatics in the eighties as there were few semiauto calibers with lower recoil impulse and power at the time than .45ACP.

Some other police units might have used 1911s when it suited them - Homicide detectives in our county's police dept. carried 1911 type pistols, though I don't think that was the county's standard sidearm for uniformed officers. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 02:04, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

:There's another reason, besides caliber, that the 1911 wouldn't have been too popular in the old days - it's a single-action. Before DA-only became more acceptable (i.e. Glocks), most LE departments preferred handguns that were SA/DA. Almost all police revolvers used prior to the 1980s, like the S&W Model 15 and 19, or the Colt Python, were single- or double-action. This bias continued into the 1980s when a lot of departments started adopting the Beretta 92F and the 3rd Generation Smith & Wesson autos. Now that Glocks have been around long enough, DA-only is finally becoming the standard. But SA-only is pretty much a no-go to any LE agency, and that's the way it was even before the 1980s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:30, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Isn't Glocks SA-only? The firing pin is cocked by cambering a round?

Would a Smith and Wesson Model 39 or 639 or Colt Commander be more acceptable for police use back then?

- To MT, that's a good point as well. SA weapons do require a lot of training and familiarity to operate effectively and safely, and as such, again, weren't considered practical for regular police officers either. Very good to point out. If I'm not mistaken, that's one of the main reasons why the 1911 fell out of favor in the Armed Forces as well - the fact they required extensive training and familiarity to use and carry safely. DA weapons are easier to train and operate with. Very true.

As for the Glock question, no, Glocks are actually DA only.

As for actions - In a Single-Action (SA) firearm, the hammer must be manually cocked to a firing position prior to pulling the trigger. Just like revolvers of the old west. Double action firearms will both cock and release the hammer when the trigger is pulled. SA/DA firearms use double-action by default, but feature an externally accessible hammer to allow single-action style firing (by cocking the hammer back and then pulling the trigger). Modern revolvers are perhaps the simplest examples of this.

DAO (Double-Action-Only) firearms only fire by double-action as they don't have an accessible hammer for single-action cocking. Such as Glock and various other semiauto pistols.

So if you have empty casing in the chamber, an pull the trigger several times, you would hear a loud click every time because the firing pin would be cocked every time? That's what happens in a DAO gun. If not, it's a SAO.

And on the last question, yes the Smith 39/59 pistols were used by police departments back then. Illinois State Police used the 59 back in the 60s/70s if I remember my Jane's Gun Recognition book correctly. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 05:07, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
::::Correction, Glocks are not DAO. They fire from a half-cocked position. When you dry fire the gun, the hammer falls and must be recocked by racking the slide, it does not cock by double action springs. That's why the have a slightly heavy trigger pull, they are half cocked, and are brought to full cock and dropped by pulling the trigger. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::::: Bah, how did I miss that.. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 20:05, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

i thought glocks were striker-fired?

I think I read that Tacoma, WA police carry 1911s as standard issue service weapons.

I read on another forum that the LAPD authorises 1911 varients to officers, however they have to go through an intense training program to be authorised for it and they have to re-qualify ever few months too. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 16:30, 28 March 2011 (CDT)

Yes. A Glock is a "striker-fired" weapon so technically it is not either double action or single action because a glock doesnt have a hammer but instead releases the firing pin inside the slide. However if you were going to have to compare it, Single Action would be the closest term. Because the firing pin is "cocked" when the slide is racked and then the trigger only releases it and firing the round. Additionally a Glock does not qualify as a double action because it in no way cocks anything with the trigger. The trigger on a Glock can not be pulled again without cycling the weapon, whereas on a gun that is a double action the trigger can be pulled and the hammer actuated multiple times without cycling the weapon. -[[User:Peejn8r|Peejn8r]]

==Versus modern pistols==

One thing I've noticed about this pistol is that almost everyone loves it, as though it were the best, most versatile handgun ever made. But really, what makes this thing, almost 100 years old now, any better than any modern pistols? Really, modern pistols can fire the same rounds, bigger clips, better design, picatinny rails, etc.--[[User:Zblayde|Zblayde]] 21:54, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Familiarity, accuracy, ease of getting parts, feel, simplicity (yes I know there are designs that are simpler, but for what this pistol is, it is simple), many different makes and models of the 1911, modularity, traditionalism. There are many makes and models of the 1911 style that have the same features as many modern "wonder guns". Want more ammo? Get a Para Ord P14, ditto for DA, and DA/SA. Want a 9mm/ 10mm/ etc? there are many types of 1911 platform pistols ranging from .22lr to .44 Magnum. A quote I heard about the 1911 a few years ago is "It's like a '32 Ford Hotrod, its cheap, reliable, powerful, fun, and is easy to make it your own. Just don't think you'll get much mileage out of a tank of gas." Now tell me can you put custom grips, barrels, sights, slides, frames, triggers, hammers, finishes, safeties, slide releases magazines, etc etc etc on a Glock, XD, SIG, Beretta, etc? Maby a few of those, but at what price, and can you do it all? -[[User:Ranger01|Ranger01]] 08:51, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

::Actually, that's another thing I'm questioning. Really, what is the difference between the detaachable box magazines and clips? I mean, clips hold bullets for easy loading, right? SO wouldn't modern detachable magazines be classified as clips too?--[[User:Zblayde|Zblayde]] 20:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
:::Simplest way I can put this - a clip loads a magazine. The magazine is what the gun feeds from - NOT THE CLIP. It just so happens that on some guns, the magazine is affixed to the weapon (the M1 Garand and the Mauser, for example). Thus, users have to use clips to reload them. On, say, a M1911 or an M16, the magazine falls out, thus allowing the user to swap in a new one when needed. A magazine could hold a clip, if so designed...but that particular road is one-way only. --[[User:Clutch|Clutch]] 20:47, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

::The "clip vs. magazine" distinction is something that really needs to be clarified, and one of the reasons why I asked for the "general information" section in the first place. Hopefully someone can make a good article there showing the various type of bullet clips and why they should not be confused with magazines. By the way, revolvers when not loaded manually use bullet clips. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 05:03, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

considering that this page is dedicated to the 1911 which is generally made in .45 does anyone else find it somewhat stupid that our military and most police departments are using handguns that have been known for their lack of stopping power. there are better handguns out there that hold a generous amount of .45 ammunition anyway. for example the Nighthawk FLX holds 12-14. the HK USP/HK45, and the Infinity handgun line are double stacked. and even if most .45s hold 7-10 isnt that enough in most scenarios. 7 .45 slugs does the work of at least 20. [[User:Dirtdiver6421|Dirtdiver6421]] 00:26, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Its the same reason that police used the .38 Special for so many years even after the .357 came out. Politics, logistics, ability to handle the round, etc etc... -[[User:Ranger01|Ranger01]] 20:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

:With regard to caliber, police need rounds that can penetrate car bodies, doors, walls, etc. .45 rounds are not known for penetration. Also, while the .45 round is more effective against soft tissue than 9mm and .40 S&W rounds, anyone who tries to claim that 7 .45 rounds can do the work of 20 9mm or .40 rounds is completely dillusional. Watch ballistic test videos. A .45 slug entering the body does more damage than a 9mm round entering the body. If you try to claim that one .45 wound is more damaging than 2 9mm wounds with any decent grouping than you clearly have no understanding of physics or human anatomy.

But the fact remains with a 9mm you dont want him dead in the half hour it will take for him to bleed out. you want him dead NOW. with the .45 hes going to feel it. he aint gunna get back up. with the 9mm he might just keep firing.
:Depending on shot placement. A 9mm slug to the heart or any of the major arteries surrounding it will cause death within several seconds. The same is true of a shot to most areas of the skull. .45 does have increased lethality over 9mm, but that degree of superiority has been greatly exaggerated.

Yeah but a 9mm can pass through a person and keep going, a .45 doesn't. I would imagine you wouldn't want those two 9mm rounds going through a person and hitting an innocent bystander. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 16:28, 28 March 2011 (CDT)

It all really comes down to preference. Honestly a body shot with any round is not guaranteed to kill or stop anyone. The only thing guaranteed to immediately incapacitate someone is to severing the brain from the rest of the body. Recoil is also a big factor. If you cant shoot it it doesnt matter what you carry. People and police departments have to find the weapon that will work best for them. Personally I like the .45 and I own a 1911. The most important feature on the 1911 for me is its thinness with the single stack mag. Honestly I think my Sig 229 .40 kicks more violently and is harder to shoot than my .45. I know a lot of people who do not like the .45 and much prefer their 9mm because they are better with it. -[[User:Peejn8r|Peejn8r]]

Modern 9mm JHP and .45 ACP JHP in ballestic gel create near equal wounds. I can post reference links if anyone wants them. The whole thing about magazine capacity isn't really a problem as 99% of the time, only three shots are fired at most. Even with police, most of the time, no more than 3 rounds are fired.

Carry what guns suits you best, whether its a .22LR or its a .45 ACP. Once I turn 21, I plan on getting a SIG 1911 with a 4" barrel in .45 ACP but for the time being, I have to stick with my XD40.--[[User:FIVETWOSEVEN|FIVETWOSEVEN]] 22:01, 11 October 2011 (CDT)

==Variants NOT listed with any film/TV/game appearances==

- I've taken it upon myself to remove several listed variants that had no list of anything that they've appeared in. Guns posted that didn't say they were in anything - Not one movie, TV show episode, video game, nothing. A couple of which I don't think have appeared on anything and seem to have been put up just for the hell of it.

Now I know we have a lot of 1911 variants on the page, but the page is not intended to show/describe ''every'' variant of 1911 ever made, but only those ''that have actually appeared in something'', as quoted by some of the admins. I just find it a bit annoying to have to scroll down the page and see numerous 1911 pistols that have nothing listed under them (Again, with some looking like they were just added for the sake of being there), and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Anyway, clearing said sections out now. If it seems like an unusual or otherwise noteworthy variant, I'll add it to the 'additional variants' section below. Bottom-line, if it ain't actually been in anything, ''don't add it'', no matter how cool it is or whatever. If it has been in something, then next time, don't half-ass - If you're going to bother with the effort of putting it up in the first place, do it 100% and say what it's appeared in. Thanks.

I am fully aware that what I am about to say will probably ignite the greatest firestorm of controversy this site has seen in a while. I have fired several 1911 pistols and found them to be a good, solid design. That said, it doesn’t change the fact that I think this is undoubtedly the most overrated firearm in history. Throughout the entire gun community there is the consensus that this is the absolute greatest thing ever conceived by the mind of man and anyone who says anything different is a blasphemer. Again, I am not saying it is a bad pistol, I just don’t think it is best (I won’t say what my top choice is for fear of causing even more indignation to come my way). Though even if it were the undisputed best pistol design around, I still don’t think it would be so significantly greater than other designs as to warrant being the object of the worship and masturbatory fantasies of every gun enthusiast in the world as it currently is.

I'd say he's not because he seems to explain his point. At least his reasoning isn't 'this gun sukzz' [[User:BeardedHoplite|BeardedHoplite]] 17:42, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

:My main reasoning is that the weapons are predominately single action only, which necessitates that they either be carried condition three (which makes the pistol slow to bring into action), or condition one (which many consider unsafe). The double/single action and double action only systems have become omnipresent in most modern combat pistols for good reason. Additionally, while a generally reliable design, many other pistols have surpassed 1911 models in ruggedness and reliability. Another thing that I find odd is the vast variety of weapons that are claimed to be “1911s.” For instance, I have seen subcompact, double action only, double-column “1911s” in many calibers other than .45acp. At this point the only common feature between these weapons and the original Colt 1911 design are a loose aesthetic resemblance. The internal mechanisms maybe similar as well, but many other pistols share a far greater functional similarity to 1911s yet do not bear the moniker. At what point does a gun cease being a “1911” and become something simply trying to cash in on a famous name sake?

It is human nature to emulate successful designs in the hopes of getting a piece of that pie, especially in the modern business world. Less-refined terms for this behaviour include "jumping on the bandwagon" or "riding a gravy train." It's nothing new now in the firearms industry, what with all the AR-15 variants, Glock knock-offs, and (of course) countless "1911-type" pistols around. What defines a "1911-type" pistol is really matter of personal preference.

I would, however, agree that it's foolish to fetishize a type of firearm or a firearms manufacturer just because of its track record or Public Relations budget. There is no such thing as the "perfect" weapon in the real world--every design involves tradeoffs, and that's even before you include the "human factor." Designs can always be improved. What matters most is what you can use the most effectively in a consistent manner. And if you can't, then you ought to get yourself another weapon or train more.

Speaking of "best pistol ever," I remember how H&K tried to label their 4.6x30mm pistol as "the Ultimate Combat Pistol," but it got unceremoniously cancelled, because of "inadequate ballistics in a handgun format." So much for "Ultimate Combat Pistol"--now it joins the legions of "Useless Cancelled Pistols" that came before it. Perhaps it could have had a chance if it were a machine pistol instead, dubbed the "MP7 UltraComPact," in essence an MP7 PDW in handgun format. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 00:34, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

:What I would like to know is what is it about the 1911 that supposedly makes it the best. I've heard people say it is the greatest pistol ever for more than a decade yet never explain what ''specific'' features or advantages it has that make it so good.

You should head on over to the forum and ask that question: "What makes the M1911 pistol so great compared to everything else, and when does an M1911 stop being one and start being a pistol just pretending to be one?" I'm sure there are more people there who could answer your questions better than what you could get here. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 22:24, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

What makes the 1911 the "best"? There are many reasons for the following it has. I am of course referring to the original 1911A1 model, not the double stack nor double action variants. For one, the single action trigger is extremely easy to train with and use by a lot of people. Second, it has redundant safety systems in place. Even with the manual safety off, it will not fire unless the grip safety is fully pressed, though this safety system is seen by a few as a con of the design. Third, it utilized a single stack design. That coupled with the angle of the grip is a very comfortable for a majority of the people. The degree of the grip angle was chosen because, for a lot of people, it is a natural point meaning that one could close ones eyes and bring the pistol up and have it pointing directly at the target. Fourth, it fired the .45 ACP. The .45ACP is a proven manstopper especially when compared to the other rounds utilized at the time of its adoption and until the development of reliable hollow point designs. Lastly, I would argue that compared to many other designs, such as the Mauser C96, Luger,etc..., the 1911 was easily field strip as the pieces of the pistol were designed to aid in the stripping down of the firearm. Compared to todays plethora of firearms, the 1911 is no longer the only pistol to chamber effective rounds or reliability. Why is it still popular then? Because some people still favor the 1911 design. Overrated, I don't think so. There is a reason why it is still chosen over other designs. Is it the end-all-be-all of pistol design? No, I would say it isn't. Anyway, from everything I've read, personal experience, and research that is what I have come up with. [[User:GaBoy45|GaBoy45]] 21:15, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:Everything you have described establishes that the gun is a good design, perhaps the best gun around when it first came out, but does not explain it's enduring following. The grip may be confortable for many people, but that is far too subjective to explain why so many people (with so many different hand sizes) still favor this gun. It's single stack magazine make it a confortable target and practical concealed carry weapon, but the limited capacity it offers can be a death trap in a combat weapon (which many still claim the 1911 is the quintessential example of). The .45 ACP is a great round against soft targets, but does not offer very good penetration or long distance acuracy. And with the isistance on reliable "Soldier Proof" weapons in most of today's militaries, many modern pistols are more reliable and easier to strip than the original 1911s. I don't deny that the 1911 was most likely the best pistol in the world when it came out and for a few decades after, but I don't think it still warrents that praise anymore, yet almost every gun Television show, magazine, website, etc. seems to constantly proclaim its supremacy.

To answer your first point. The single stack, thin handgrip is easily usable by people of differing handtypes. You say its subjective but isn't how something feels in someones hand subjective? For example, the M9/Beretta 92FS has a thick grip. Bigger hands have no problem with the grip but smaller hands do. The slim 1911 grip can be used by big hands or little hands. The grip angle is something else that many people find comfortable. You second point that you made was the single stack "death trap". You say that the single stack is a liability. But capacity isn't everything. 7+ rounds of .45 ACP is good. The .45ACP has a well known reputation for one shot stops. The 9mm of the Beretta 92 or Glock 17 does not have that reputation. As for the .45ACP, it is not meant to penetrate body armor, neither is the standard 9mm, but it is accurate over long distances. There are very few pistol rounds that are meant to penetrate body armor of vehicle armor, which is what I think that you are getting at. If you draw a pistol in a combat zone, you are already in deep trouble or in a position where a high capacity is not needed, i.e. MP's. Anyway, a pistol is not meant to be accurate at long distances so the point is moot. As for the "Soldier Proof" weapons, that is just a cheap way out of training soldiers correctly, as they did with the A2 model of the M16. A milspec 1911 is just as reliable as newer designs. One such argument is that the 1911 was only tested for 6000 rounds with no failure before cleaning while Glock for example is tested at 30,000 rounds. What soldier won't clean his sidearm after 6000 rounds? What battle involves firing 6000 rounds out of a pistol? If you can't see why the 1911 design is praised and still being used then I can't help any further. The 1911 design has many good points that apparently many people still find better than other designs, and many still find the 1911 a proven and effective design.[[User:GaBoy45|GaBoy45]] 22:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:Apparently I wasn't clear when I rebutted you last time. The single stack is confortable for people with small hands yes. However, people with larger hands, and even some small handed people, have no problem with thicker grips and so the capacity limiting single stack serves no purpose. The grip angle is a completely subjective feature and so it is imposible to argue that one style is better than another. What matters more is simply what one is used to. You are right that 7-9 rounds of ammunition and 6000 rounds before cleaning is more than adequate for most applications, however my point wasn't that the 1911 is bad (it is a good weapon) but simply that there are better guns out their. 7 or 8 rounds may be enough for most encounters, but having 12-17 rounds and being able to fire 30,000+ rounds before cleaning is an advantage, whether or not one will utalize those features often. Also, when I referenced penetration I had things like doors, walls, and car bodies in mind, not armor. The .38 Super cartridge was specifically developed because the .45 could not penetrate car bodies effectively. Your previous post all focuses on arguing that the 1911 is an ''adequate'' combat pistol which I completely agree with. My whole point is that the features you mentioned ''do not make it the best pistol around.'' When I first began this conversation I stated that the 1911 is not a bad gun, simply that with all the pistol designs that have emerged in the past century it is no longer the greatest pistol in the world, yet nearly everyone in the gun community (yourself clearly included) still claim it is for no other reason than people like its grip (which is subjective), its caliber (which is used in many much modern modern firearms), and its history (which can easily make it a favorite gun but can not be used as justification for it being the best).

::'''"You are right that 7-9 rounds of ammunition and 6000 rounds before cleaning is more than adequate for most applications"'''

::"Before cleaning"? What do you think; that it will malfunction on the 6001st round if you don't clean it? The gun is as dirty as it is going to get after a few hundred rounds. When you've fired a gun 6000 times in a row without cleaning and with no malfunctions, that means that when the gun finally does malfunction it won't be because it is dirty; it will most likely continue to function properly until something breaks.

::'''"but having 12-17 rounds and being able to fire 30,000+ rounds before cleaning is an advantage, whether or not one will utalize those features often."'''

::Just so you know, the M1911 didn't malfunction on the 6000th round. It didn't malfunction at all. They stopped after 6000 rounds because that is how many rounds they had decided beforehand would be adequate for a test. Any gun that can fire 6000 rounds without malfunctioning can most likely fire indefinitely without malfunctioning, until something breaks. And keep in mind that the M1911 did this 100 years ago, being built out of the relatively poor grades of steel of the day (steel was greatly improved after WWII, even though no U.S. military M1911 or M1911A1 ever got to take advantage of it, because none were bought after WWII). Also, those things you mentioned are ''potential'' advantages. A potential advantage that isn't used at all is not an actual advantage, obviously.

::30,000 rounds is overkill for a test. Most people will never fire anywhere near that many rounds through their handgun (especially without cleaning), and even if they did, who would want to trust their life to a gun that has 30,000 rounds worth of wear and tear on it? --[[User:MaximRecoil|MaximRecoil]] 13:18, 17 December 2011 (CST)

You were arguing the design flaws but it is the design that is one of the big reasons it has such a following. Since you are arguing one view against the other. Why a lot of people think that it is the best. The design is one reason, history is another, the round it fires is yet another reason. I actually don't think it is the best I was merely stating the reasons that it is popular and why people say it is the best. I like the Beretta 92fs for its grip and certain design attributes and the Glock 21sf for different reasons. Would I object to using the 1911 in combat. No. Would I use the Beretta 92fs in combat with FMJ ammo? Not if I didn't have to. With HP ammo, I wouldn't hesitate to use the Beretta. But even your view of other designs being better is subjective. If a pistol, rifle, shotgun, etc...is reliable and fires a moderately effective round then it is a good design. What makes it the best is subjective as far as it goes. What one pistol may be best at is what makes it worst at something else. There is no way to objectively define the "best" just what is better than something else.[[User:GaBoy45|GaBoy45]] 00:17, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

:I agree. I don't have any gun in mind that I think is indisputably better than all others. The features I pointed out I did so to demonstrate that in certain aspects the 1911 is inferior to other disigns, not that said other designs are the perfect weapon. Every design is a give and take of different features. Because of this, my main complaint was a pervaisive belief that the 1911 is unquestioningly the greatest gun ever (I have heard that phrase Verbatim in many issues of Guns & Ammo). Is it better in some aspects than double-collumn, double-action 9mm pistols? Yes. Is it better across the board? Absolutly not. I apologize if at any point I have come across as confrontational, it is just that I have heard so many people assert the 1911's complete supremacy so many times that it has really gotten on my nerves and I wanted to know what others thought.

Google "1911"...then google any other gun...now tell me which one has the most varieties...which one has the most after market parts and pieces for the specialist. Which one has the most surplus parts. Its so popular and so famous because if you wanted to you could make one look like no other one or you could make it look like that one in your favorite movie. Not only that but all the diffrent calibers from 45cal to the awesome and unbeatable 10mm. Plus they are sexy as hell. To sum up you can basically have a beautiful, functional, all steel combat pistol in your choice of caliber and its going to feel like a dream in your hands.--[[User:Spades of Columbia|Spades of Columbia]] 00:48, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

:The madness of crowds surely knows few bounds--just look at how the various bottled water companies manage to make a killing selling what is essentially tap water, because people will do often do things just because enough other people tell them it's a good idea. Then again, I suppose the "cult following" that some pistol-types have over others is due in part to the following facts:

:*Pistols are rarely if ever primary combat weapons anymore, with the exception of law enforcement.
:*Few people who routinely carry pistols have to regularly use them in gun battles against opponents who are earnestly trying to kill them.

:Therefore there aren't many occasions for most pistol-carriers to test their assumptions in the most revealing field of all--life-or-death situations. So depending on your circumstances you can go a lifetime without ever putting the hype in the harsh light of real return-fire. I'd bet on the M1911-type (the "pure" single-stack .45 ACP M1911s) pistols selling so much mostly because of its hype and history, and that it is, at its heart, a serviceable (though hardly optimal) weapon. Given how many clones there are, however, I really must wonder what would have happened had Colt become the sole copyright holder for this pistol type--would we see more innovation that way, or just countless clones of some other pistol type? Perhaps a more revealing, specific question would be "How does the M1911 platform compare to the Glock platform or CZ-75 platform?" That could work because all three are successful pistol types offered in multiple calibers, including 9x19mm, .45 ACP, and 10mm Auto.

:Bottom line? The "pure" M1911 works, but we can certainly do better. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 04:07, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

::Exactly

Ok, well answer me this then. Why if the 1911 is all hype and legend does MEUSOC still issue 1911s? Why does Delta give out a stipend to have an operator buy his own custom 1911? Why does the FBI HRT use 1911s? and LAPD SWAT? and so many other groups that use pistols? The reasons the wonder 9s came into popularity are lower recoil (marginal), size (marginal) higher capacity (less training in marksmanship), weight (long since gone by the wayside), to match ammo with other NATO countries (Military), and hype/ cool factor (civilian). The 1911 has served admirably (in one capacity or another) with few major changes to the platform for almost 100 years. The Beretta, Glock, CZ-75, etc. have been redesigned and "improved" since they came out just to try and match the 1911s in popularity, reliability, etc.-[[User:Ranger01|Ranger01]] 17:30, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

:Sure thing. How many of these operators you mentioned fulfill the conditions I mentioned above, namely that they regularly use pistols as their primary combat weapons instead of SMGs/PDWs/Rifles and often engage in gunfights with earnest, aware opponents? And other combat platforms for the .45 ACP won out, such as the Mk. 23 SOCOM pistol which won out over Colt's version. The "improved" Beretta, Glock, CZ-75 you mentioned have done so to fit consumer demand and market competition, but national armed forces aren't that commercial and competitive most of the time because of how many contracts and vested interests are running the show. I simply said that the "Pure" M1911 platform works when used, but it can be improved, otherwise the Mk.23 SOCOM wouldn't have won the OHWS program. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 02:05, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

::A lot of Special Forces don't even use the Mk. 23 due to its bulky and awkward size. Many Navy SEALs opt to use 9mm SIG-Sauer Pistols

H&K won the competition because they strictly adhered to all of the requirements (some of which were asinine), and they put in the best bid. When USSOCOM received the Mk. 23 they got exactly what they asked for but not what they had actually wanted. The SEALS who used it complained about how it was too big, heavy, and its cons outweighed its pros. They tried to pawn them off on the ARMY but no one there would touch them, so most of them went back to H&K. As with all things military, big brass does not listen to the guys who actually have to use the equipment until its too late.-[[User:Ranger01|Ranger01]] 06:13, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

I would like to toss my thoughts into the mix. Being a Brit getting a hold of a real firearm is harder than getting away with stealing the Popes hat, but I am an avid airsofter and I have held and fired many different types of airsoft pistols ranging from HK USPs, to Glocks, to Berettas, to SIGs. But I still go back to my 1911s to which I have 2 (I'm awaiting delivery of a third). I don't have tiny hands but I don't have big bear hands and the 1911 design feels right in my hands. I use a weaver stance and the 1911 is the best pistol for hand placement in that stance, I had an issue with the Beretta that sometimes my thumb could slip onto the slide locking mechinism and prevent slide lock. With Glocks they felt too top heavy for me, maybe it's how the airsoft Glocks are designed and it's not like that on the Real steel. I used a SIG for quite a while as that felt pretty good, but as soon as I picked up a 1911 I needed one. After a little practice I can draw, remove the safety and bring the pistol up to the target in a little under 2 seconds. Why do I like the 1911 so much? It's all about the placement, the safety is right by your thumb so when you draw it you can use one motion to bring the pistol up and deactivate the safety. I found the Beretta to be a bit of a fumbling job deactivating the safety mid draw. Why the 1911 design is still praised isn't down to some cult following, it's down to simple ergonomics, it looks great, the functionality is great, the placement of everything on the pistol is perfect. I saw someone post that they would rather be able to fire 30,000 shots and not have to clean their pistol rather than 6000. I don't know about you but if I only fired off one shot from my pistol in a battle I would still clean it to make sure nothing is going to cause a problem next time. Better to be safe than sorry. --[[User:Cool-breeze|Cool-breeze]] 17:19, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I think it depends by what you define as 'best', and what you need the gun for. In my mind, if you want an M1911 variant, get a Para-Ordnance LDA. Like the P14.45, but double action. If you want a cheap, reliable, accurate semi-auto, do what everybody else does, get a Glock 17 and stop moaning. Your moaning about not people liking 7-round magazines (we've moved on to higher-capacity ones-in my mind, if armies must use M1911 variants, use Para-Ordnance's. 7 or 8 rounds plus one in the chamber is just awful, and you'll run out quickly.) is making the world of semi-auto's remain stuck in the 20th century. Embrace the future! With pistols like the Caracal, FN Herstal Five-seveN, and many other great ones, it's not half bad.

==.45 Blanks==

I've read a lot here that .45 blanks used to be unreliable. I was wondering when they started to become a bit more reliable and why they were unreliable? I can't find that anywhere.

I thought it wasn't really the blanks being unreliable so much as it just being easier to blank-convert a 9mm than a .45. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 10:29, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

.45 pistols require more recoil force to cycle their actions than 9mms. Since blank rounds have virtually no recoil, .45s are much harder to convert to use blanks.

Ah right. Is there some new way of converting them now because I've started to notice that in recent years there have been a lot of films using .45 ACP versions of pistols that are also chambered in 9mm. Die Hard 4.0 for example, McClane as a P220 in .45 ACP. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 17:37, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

::''"Is it explicitly stated that the prop gun was chambered in .45"'' We have a pic of the actual screen used gun and is listed as .45 ACP. I think all newer P220s are chambered in .45, only some of the older ones were chambered in 9mm and .38 Super. Also the .45 being unreliable with blanks. I don't think it encompassed all .45 chambered pistols. I think it was only in the 1911 platform. With the 9mm being a much smaller blank and having the large ejection port made for the .45 it was easier to eject them.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:09, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Long (and detailed!)story short. For a 1911 to fire blanks reliably you must first drill and tap the barrel for a blank adapter, then taper the barrel hood, then grind off the locking lugs, and remove the barrel linkage. Once that is done, the testing for a reliable adapter and blank combo ensues (you may or may not need to enlarge the ejection port too). I figure its pretty much the same with other pistols...-[[User:Ranger01|Ranger01]] 19:11, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

I read an article in a gun magazine a few years back about blanks and it said that it comes down to the casings used. According to the article, blanks are made from rifle brass because it has to be long enough to be crimped and still be long enough to be the length of a real cartridge. The problem with .45 acp ammo is that until recently there was no rifle brass in .45 diameter that could be used for blanks. I remember reading back when "Miami Vice" was on that Timothy La France had brass custom manufactured in .45 for blanks. -- David, 3 December 2010 (well, its the 3rd where I live)

The big problem is there is no single model that is the M45/ MEUSOC Pistol. The "M-45s" in service are a mix and match of Kimbers, Springfields, Colts, etc. The "M-45" is a set of specs that any pistols built for MEUSOC have to comply with. There are SOME retrofitted M1911A1 pistols that were done by USMC Armorers at Quantico, but they are going to be near impossible to differentiate from the M1911A1 they were built from.
Here's a good thread from AR15.com (dear lord its hard to say that haha) about the M-45 MEUSOC pistol variants.

== More proof of the M1911's greatness ==

According to the news, the M1911 is now the official state gun of Utah! This is kind of cool, since John Browning lived in Utah, and it's just in time for the great .45's centennial anniversary. [[Special:Contributions/74.192.58.206|74.192.58.206]] 21:16, 19 March 2011 (CDT)

Happy 100 years of service M1911! Thank you for providing some of the most nastiest knockdown power available to the armed forces and for providing an eternal name of badassery in motion pictures!

Here's looking forward to 100 years more! --[[User:ThatoneguyJosh|ThatoneguyJosh]] 15:40, 29 March 2011 (CDT)

My favorite semi-auto is the 1911. I've had affairs with others but I always come back to a good ole Colt .45. I didn't understand why until I did some research and figured out we shared a birthday. Still saving for an anniversary model... [[User:USGIMar29|USGIMar29]] 19:40, 2 September 2011 (CDT)

==9mm 1911s==
I'm not sure if this is an appropriate question to ask but could anyone recommend some good 9mm 1911s? I live in Australia and the maximum calibre you can get without doing competition shooting is .38 or 9mm rounds. --[[User:GunEnthusiast|GunEnthusiast]] 07:07, 21 July 2011 (CDT)

== Naming the MEU(SOC) pistol ==

On M1911's page (and correspondingly on pages that list the weapon) it is named "M-45 MEUSOC":

1) While calling it "M-45" wouldn't be incorrect, it should be changed to "M45" in line with other officially adopted names on IMFDB;

2) Using "MEUSOC" in conjunction with "M45" is incorrect. It is either "MEU(SOC) Pistol" or "M45 Close Quarters Battle Pistol" / "M45 Close Quarters Combat Pistol".

::Will be done right now. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 03:17, 3 October 2011 (CDT)

:::I think they are the same pistol. I remember seeing a story about how the MEU(SOC) was reclassified as the M45 Close Quarters Combat Pistol at some point, and have also seen documents that use the term M45 MEUSOC (no brackets). What do you think the differences are between the two? I think there is some confusing as there have been various different versions of the MEU(SOC) pistol built from various off the shelf parts. There are at least 5 versions that I know of, and main fetures are as follows. 1: original version with unflared ejection port and Springfield Armoury logo behind the ejection port. 2: newer slide with flared ejection port and logo in front of the ejection port. 3: front slide serrations. 4: wide slide serrations and Novak sights, with grip safety with "bumb" at the bottom. 5: 4th version with skeleton hammer rather than Commander type hammer. You also have the ICQB which is a Kimber made pistol with a railed frame. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:26, 3 October 2011 (CDT)
::::Sorry, just realised I totally misread your original post. Though you were saying that the MEU(SOC) and M45 were different pistols.

To be fair though, I have seen official documents that refer to the M45 being the MEUSOC, Close Quarters Battle or Close Quarters Combat pistol. I think this whole conversation is irrelevant however, as on looking into it, I think the M45 pistol and the MEU(SOC) pistol listed on this page are different weapons, with the M45 being a commercial of the shelf pistol made by either Colt, Sprinfield Armoury or Karl Lippard Designs. This article from the [http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2011/01/marine-marsoc-pistol-45cal-012511w/ Marine Corps Times] seems to back this up (this time referring to it as the Close Quarter Battle Pistol) stating that the M45 is modelled on the MEU(SOC) but will be a COTS pistol, which is currently being evaluated. For the sake of simplicity, I think the pistol on this page should just be called the MEU(SOC). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:19, 3 October 2011 (CDT)

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.

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.

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.

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 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. [[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!

==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'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)

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.

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.

===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.

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:

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)

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.

== 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?

In the "Screenshot" category, is there any way to increase the number of images seen in the page?

== 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".

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)

== 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)

== 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)

==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?

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.

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.

== 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.

Hey Bunni, it's me.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

:::Well yeah, but we explain which variant is which.

Hey, wow, chill man.

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

Hi Funkychinaman,
I am also a Taiwanese, currently studying in Singapore. There is a Taiwanese drama, TV series, called Rookies Diary 新兵日記. I am not sure if you know about it but it is filmed by Formosa TV, on aired from 2010 July 2nd to 2010 September 16. There are two seasons in this series. First part is about teenage boys serving their national services and underwent military training and second part is about joining the Special Forces. called 新兵日記之特戰英雄.

Thanks for the screencaps. Just a reminder. Be sure to identify who is on screen and what they are doing in the shot. Also identify which actors used which guns.

::Excellent! Great work! Thanks! [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

==Hi==

Hey, Ben,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==.PNG Images==

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

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

==The Interpreter==

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

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

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

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

==Marked for Death==

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

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

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

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

If you look closely at the screencap you will notice no adjustable sights. The revolver appears to have fixed or duty sights which would make it the Model 10. Also I went ahead and listed the weapons used by Hemlock on [[Clint Eastwood]] 's page. And also showed on the respective firearms pages.

:BTW I have 100% confidence that '''you''' will populate the page with great caps, but the worry is that others will do the first part and not the second part. thanks.

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

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

==Virtuosity==

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Some Last of the Mohicans guns==
Hey there. Glad to see how much work you've done on the page. :) I had some pics of some of the background muskets (used by civilians and indians) that were 'rescued' from the production by one of the gunsmiths I knew who worked on the picture. As you know, the vast majority of the guns were destroyed during the filming (the stuntmen pretty much used their muskets as clubs in most of the fight scenes) and over 400 Brown Bess muskets were destroyed. I have a pic of two background guns. Is there any screenshot which may have these in them? I know they were for background people. One is a modern repro of a common commercial flintlock firearm of the time period, the other is known as a trade gun, i.e. a lesser quality flintlock that had less parts and craftsmanship, developed specifically for trade with the Indians (i.e. they let the 'locals' get the more cheaply made muskets). Anyway, just wondering if you thought we should add this to your excellent page.
[[Image:LastOfMohicans Musket2.jpg‎ |thumb|none|700px|Last of the Mohicans background screen musket]]
[[Image:LastOfMohicans Trade Musket.jpg‎ |thumb|none|700px|Last of the Mohicans background screen musket - fortress siege scene only]]

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

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

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

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

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

cont...

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

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

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

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

== The Kingdom ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

:::RE:RE:A-Team 2010
Hi Ben, I was wondering that now when the DVD for The A-Team has appeared in the US, could I upload/or add (the rest of) my screencaps to the page?? Oh, and do I have to replace my previous screencaps with new ones (since they were uploaded before the official release date), or can I just revert the page to the latest version by me? --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 12:17, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

==The Way of War==
Great work! but actually, IMFDB rules states that IMDB is the final say on U.S. release titles :)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1133995/combined
So it is "The Way of War" not "Way of War". I can't figure out why the Poster says that. Only the Australian and French Video releases changed the named to "Way of War", but I would still conform to the U.S. Release standard. :) Just giving you a heads up :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:50, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

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

== Screencaptures and watermarks ==

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

== Are you going to tackle Magnum P.I.? ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== How do I ask users to help me identify guns? ==

I've completed most of the weapons for the Gangster's Paradise: Jerusalema page, but I have one photo which is an assortment of weapons that I can't name. How do I contact several users or put out a message asking for experts to visit the page and try and ID the guns? Or do I have to just leave the page until someone is interested enough to contribute?

I would ask in the forum, but my account hasn't been approved. Thank you. [[User:2deal2|2deal2]] 16:53, 8 June 2011 (BST)

Sorry about that. Re: Jamie Bamber, I thought they had phased out the old style pistol that late into season 1. As for the Nolan Hemmings entry, I was looking on the BoB page last night, and all I saw was the picture of him with the bazooka, but the bazooka was completely obscuring his face. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 11:25, 11 June 2011 (CDT)

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

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

::Really? I'd just see it as a way to tie together a group of creators. Granted there's no point doing it ''now'' since AFAIK there's only one game director with his own category, but if we had several it would make sense to have a category to put them all in so they're not just floating around on nothing. Anyway, I'll stop bothering you with hypotheticals and let you get back to work on your article, I know how annoying it is trying to have a conversation and upload at the same time.

:The page as it is now lacks many of the best and clearest views of the weapons. If you're going to do the page, the only thing I ask is that you actually watch the movie from beginning to end and make sure you get all the best shots of the weapons (which is what I am in the process of doing now). If you're not going to do that, then I'd prefer you let me finish the page instead. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 09:03, 15 June 2011 (CDT)

Okay, will do. Good job. Unfortunately I lost the DVD, never found it, and was never able to finish it. I suspected it had been stolen by a relative's acquaintance (if you have to steal a 10+ year old movie that would cost you $5, if even ''that'' much, in a bargain bin, you must be in a bad place), but was never able to prove it.

Thanks for adding the extras screen on Robo 3 (Which I know is like, two), heh. Also good job on categorizing too. I would like to request you get a couple of the regular 'XM-177s' used in the movie, there are several. I'd screencap it myself, but unlike before when I was having troubles with my DVD drive and players... I just don't have that DVD. Some would ask me what kind of diehard Robo fan am I, but I would ask what they thought of R3.. hehe. ANYWAY, good job. I hope you like my work on the other two Robo pages. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 16:50, 30 June 2011 (CDT)

: Yeah, I hadn't made screencaps in some time and forgot it leaves the black bars there. I certainly will keep note of it in the future.

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

== Multiple people with the same name ==

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

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

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

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

== Language ==

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

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

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

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

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

== I did. ==

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

==Type 56==
I'll get to it. Been busy and I have not seen my source for those weapons in MONTHS. BTW, will you ever do a Blu Ray Version of Terminator 3: rise of the machines?

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

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

== Spammers ==

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

Thank you for the nice words. I usually create/edit video game pages only, so I'm really unexperienced with IDing stuff in movies. (It's much easier in video games.)

== Heaven's Burning ==

Hi Ben,

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

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

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

Cheers,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Re: Heat ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Doom ==

Hi, Ben! About 32 hours ago I have uploaded Blu-Ray versions of the caps on the [[Doom]] page, but they did not update. I saw that your new images for National Treasure 2 changed almost instantly. I can't figure out why the Doom caps would not update. Any solution to this? (When you click on an image it shows the old version stretched to the size of the new one. I bet it has something to do with CloudFlare...)- [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 09:28, 10 September 2011 (CDT)
:I know it's a little bit late now but I have figured out that changing the size of the picture will update the thumbnail only.

==A Soldier's Story==
Damn I added the 1911 to Denzel's page after watching it yesterday and you capped the movie. Did you cap it off Netflix? At the beginning there's a close up of the 1911 used, it looked to be WWI M1911 instead of a WWII M1911A1, not sure if that's what Denzel actually used though. If you could get some caps of it that would be good. Thanks.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 11:50, 20 September 2011 (CDT)

You know, the modified Leopard tank can go on the main movie page, because it is a gun platform.

==Black Hawk Down==
I am planning to work on Black Hawk Down by this Saturday and would probably replace your saturated images as I believe it is better that the images retain the movie's slight desaturated look. What do you suggest I do? Replace your saturated images with ones from my iTunes copy (which is in a 1280 x ??? configuration) with the sharpness added or upload screenshots in your configuration, which is slightly added saturation, sharpness, and brightness? - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 23:03, 9 October 2011 (CDT)

As you can see, both are similar. Also, how did you reduced the size of your Blu-Ray pictures?

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

Thanks. I was surprised that the page hadn't been made. I own all the movies so it's not an issue. I've been a fan of Tom Selleck since [[Magnum P.I.]] came on the air in 1980. I was twelve! Yes I can do that. It might take me a few days, but I will get to it. Or maybe I'll do it tonite. I never know. As far as his time. All I can think of is ''BLue Bloods'' is filmed in New York City and the Stone movies are filmed up in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick (can't remember). It's not ''that'' far and his character in BB is only in about 25% - 30% of most episodes. I imagine when he needs some time they can have an episode that has him in front of the camera even less than usual. I'm sure they'll work with him. That show is still on because Selleck is popular with middle-aged viewers like me. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 19:35, 3 November 2011 (CDT)
:One of Selleck's stipulations when he signed on to Blue Bloods was that the filming of that show would not interrupt the filming of the Jesse Stone films because of how much Selleck loves playing the character. When you see him talk about it in interviews it looks like Jesse is his most favourite character he's ever played. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 18:52, 13 November 2011 (CST)

:Well, second is the same, just with a barrel extension, I just picked what I thought were the two best images that weren't that pistol we're still trying to ID. I figure we could use a few videogames in the rotation (if only because then we can point people to them and say "this is a correctly formatted article" more easily); we used to have ''Call of Duty: World at War'' in there until I guess someone actually looked at it and realised it had links-in-headings formatting and was only half-written.

==Hi==

Hey, Ben,

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

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

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

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

==Your screencaps are too big==
Gorgeous work on the Dark Knight Blu-ray pics .... BUT ... 1925 pixels across?!?!?! 925KB sized files?!?!?!?! These MUST be shrunk down in that the original size won't be looked at full resolution anyway and they are taking up way too much space. Have you noticed how long it takes for these images to be loaded when clicking on the page?

Thanks. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 14:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

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

I use the VLC too. I never tried saving them to PNG first then the JPEG. I may try that. Also I uploaded a new version of my cap. It's the same frame now. The first one I took was a little bit after.

==.PNG Images==

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

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

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

==The Interpreter==

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

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

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

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

==Extreme Prejudice==
Thanks for redoing those caps. Gunmaster45 uploaded them for me before I knew I how to do them myself. Also I had figured Atwater's pistol was a Smith & Wesson 39, not a Commander. But I couldn't tell enough from my cap. Since you redid it, it's clear. I really need to start messing with the colors on the VLC payer like you talked about. I pretty sure there is only one dvd version of Extreme Prejudice. Also there is an M60 used by the cartel in the final shootout that I missed. I think they are killed by Atwater. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 16:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

==Marked for Death==

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

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

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

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

Could you enhance this image from Dirty Harry. The reason I ask is to better see the magnum markings. This one guy keeps changing it to a Model 57 a 41 magnum.

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

I love your HD screencaps. And I know that you have the discipline to put in an appropriate number of screencaps. Heck you can replace even the ones I put in. LOL. It's all about the quality of the pics and the page. I'm just trying to get rid of the full screen caps which I dislike. Anyway, I know you're busy so I started working on the page - it being one of the most VIEWED pages on IMFDB. Did you notice I added more SCREEN USED hero guns to the page? ;) I can probably get more in the future when I have time.

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

==Virtuosity==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== New RoboCop pics ==

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

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

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

Well, I sorta knew this was comin'. The source where I got those screencaps for the movie is this: http://www.discshop.fi/shop/ds_produkt.php?lang=&id=75676&lang=fi&subsite=bluray&&ref= <-- That is a website in finland, which concentrates on films, games, music, etc. I ordered the BLU-Ray about 1½ weeks ago, and it was released on October 29th in Finland. I assure you, it is '''NOT''' a bootleg of any kind. But I see your point, and if removing those caps (for now) is for the greater good, I have no objection. We wouldn't wanna face legal consequences. But hey, can you at least save the screencaps? I mean just delete them from the A-Team page, not the whole site? 'Cos I spend almost '''4 hours''' taking and uploading those screencaps. That way, I could put them on the site on the 11th (or was it 14th) day, when the DVD is supposed to come out.

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

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

== Screencaptures and watermarks ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Oh, ok ==

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

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

I've been following their edit war on this subject, and have already locked the [[RPG-7]] page to administrator-only edit access. I hoped that would settle the dispute, and if those two are still bitching about it, they need to grow up and move on. So far as I can tell, they're just bickering like little children over a dead issue. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 01:37, 20 April 2011 (CDT)

==Everyone hates chris==
Don't do that. That page was NOT the "everyone hates chris' page that YOU made. It was ANOTHER one that was mispelled and thus deserves to be deleted. Your original one is still there. Don't undo what I've done. Thanks. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:47, 20 April 2011 (CDT)
::Thanks, we can't keep a 'dummy page' for every possible incarnation of a spelling of a title. Then we would have "everyone hates Chris" "Everyone hate CHris" "everyone HATES chris" etc. etc. You get the drift. I would rather keep the CORRECT imdb title page as the placeholder (and locked), and if anyone creates a new page by typing in the title wrong (which happens for titles other than ones we've banned), then we delete it and warn the new user (or ban them if they become problem children).

== Ok, just one issue with that though: ==

Under "Film" heading for "Taurus PT941 (Stainless)," what order is the table actually in? Is it supposed to be sorted by year, oldest to newest? I ask because when I fixed [[GE M134 Minigun]]'s tables I went with what was already on the page (newest to oldest) and if that's not right I'll have to turn those the other way around too. Also, is "name / character / notation / date" the right format for videogame entries? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 06:34, 20 April 2011 (CDT)

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

:Oh, I just figured since he was credited as director or producer for all of the games listed that was enough to put him in category: director. Could we have a category: game director or something for people like this?

::Really? I'd just see it as a way to tie together a group of creators.

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

== Multiple people with the same name ==

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

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

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

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

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

== I did. ==

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

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

Great. thanks. Like I said it has been a couple years. Now I know why I thought/remember it was a grease gun. The ventilated sleeve was removed from the barrel.

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

Thank you for the nice words. I usually create/edit video game pages only, so I'm really unexperienced with IDing stuff in movies. (It's much easier in video games.)

== Heaven's Burning ==

Hi Ben,

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

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

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

Cheers,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Re: Heat ==

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

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

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

What do you think I should do with the caps? Should I bring this up on the talk page? As for me, I'm ready and willing to complete the revamp, no sweat. I have already converted my caps to .jpegs (per standard), and made those caps in which are two shots put together (sorry, have no idea what thay are called in English), like the one below:

When I happened to see the page a few days ago, I thought it was a typo (B3 where it should have been B2) so I revised, being dedicated to correct contents.

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

Hi, Ben! About 32 hours ago I have uploaded Blu-Ray versions of the caps on the [[Doom]] page, but they did not update. I saw that your new images for National Treasure 2 changed almost instantly.

Thanks. I was surprised that the page hadn't been made. I own all the movies so it's not an issue. I've been a fan of Tom Selleck since [[Magnum P.I.]] came on the air in 1980. I was twelve! Yes I can do that. It might take me a few days, but I will get to it. Or maybe I'll do it tonite. I never know. As far as his time. All I can think of is ''BLue Bloods'' is filmed in New York City and the Stone movies are filmed up in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick (can't remember). It's not ''that'' far and his character in BB is only in about 25% - 30% of most episodes. I imagine when he needs some time they can have an episode that has him in front of the camera even less than usual. I'm sure they'll work with him.

== Criminal Minds: Female serial killer's gun ==

I suppose the female serial killer of the parking at Dallas is Megan (Brianna Brown), from the Episode ''"Pleasure is my business"'' of the 4th Season.

:Hi, Tim, I have to present some of my research today (I'm in grad school), so I apologize for being so busy yesterday and today, but quick update:

:(1.) I think I got you approved to post on the forum. Try it now and see if it works.

:(2.) I did used to think that Burt might be PoI re-incarnated, and he certainly sounds like PoI sometimes, but I haven't been able to be sure of this. Being stubborn and argumentative is not a personality trait exclusive to PoI, and Burt hasn't demonstrated some of the other personality traits that made PoI so unlikable (in my opinion, anyway). That being said, PoI was quite technically competent (setting up sock puppet accounts after he got banned), so it's not impossible that he and Burt are the same person. But as Brian told you, their IPs were very, very different.

:(3.) We'll get to the bottom of the Type 69 issue. Promise. :)

Unless you know for sure with a verifiable source be careful NOT to declare it as a definite fact.

==Re: Ace Combat==

That's a good question. I have the PS2 titles in the series myself and have played the demo for ''AC6'', but lack a means to take screenshots that wouldn't look like crap. Ideally, I'd like to see the weapon ports for each aircraft mentioned in the articles (ideally with the gun firing so as to show the viewer where the firing port is via the muzzle flash), but I know that might be a bit excessive with some of the games such as ''The Unsung War'' which has something like 16 aircraft that all use the [[M61 Vulcan]] cannon. If my ideal suggestion is not possible, then try to get the player characters' signature aircraft (F-14A Tomcat in ''AC5'', F-22A Raptor in ''AC04'', F-15C Eagle in ''AC Zero'', F-16C Fighting Falcon & F-15E Strike Eagle in ''AC6'', etc.). I greatly appreciate your interest in helping to complete these articles, and look forward to seeing your input on them. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 04:07, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

:I would exercise caution with some of the ground vehicle weapons, as that can easily stray into territory not within the scope of the wiki. If you can find a tank or APC with a machine gun or a ZSU-23 AA gun, that's fine, but please avoid things like heavy artillery systems or large-caliber flak guns. There is also a screenshot I would like to see for the ''AC5'' article, but it's extremely difficult to get; namely an image of the player's aircraft being engaged by a [[FIM-92A Stinger]] in "Powderkeg" with the Yuktobanian radio chatter that specifically mentions that weapon system by name. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 04:43, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

::The 'tricky' part of the "Powderkeg" shot I mentioned is having that piece of dialogue appear at the same time as you're being engaged by said SAM. Both things happen at random during the mission if I remember correctly, so getting them to happen together so as to create a decent screenshot could be difficult. I also thought of another shot I would like to see for ''AC Zero''; a pic of a Belkan BM-335 bomber firing its defensive M61 Vulcan armament (I've noticed that the BM-335 seems to be the only heavy bomber in the series thus far that has any defensive gun armament; the in-game B-52's & Tu-95's appear to have been 'neutered').

The amount of offensive language should be kept at a minimum level in order to maintain the professionalism of the site.

It's a wee bit tough since all those Yugo AK variants are in a vault about 65 miles away from my home (though I live in a major metro area of California, the state government of CA won't allow those types of restricted weapons in major dense population centers, even though the movies are all shot here, but we know how stupid most politicians are.....)

I am having an issue that I hope you can help me with (2nd time today!). Do you have any idea how to delete pages? Yes, I asked you earlier but this time is different...

Reason is that I created a page for the [[Bruni Magnum]] because it appeared in one of my movies. MPM suggested me to make that page a section of the [[Colt Python]] page because it is in fact a blank-firing copy of that revolver. I could not use 'move' and have automatic redirects created because that would mess up the Colt Python page.

Instead, I cut-and-paste my info to an additional entry in the Colt Python page but now I am left with a completely empty page ([[Bruni Magnum]]) that has no use but unfortunately this is where people get directed when they type in 'Bruni Magnum'.

==copyright==
well actually I only started copyrighting the images explicitly after some ugly piracy issues between 2009-2010, but if you were here from the start, all the veteran members already knew that my pics were MY pics :D Putting the copyright all over the place is a recent trend, and I've been trying to over write a lot of the older pics with an explicit copyright but it takes time. Most of the members back in the day knew enough when they saw the quality and that I had uploaded it. They knew better than to over write it. Also when I load someone else's pic as a place holder I usually put a note on it that it's not mine. So, no I did not overlook anything. These image files are OLD, from the early days of IMFDB and it takes a while to over write over 700 original images. But I'll get to it. He is NOT correct though in overwriting the image that he did. :D Whether it is mine or not, the IMFDB rule is NOT to overwrite a superior image with a lesser quality image (whether it be lighting style, clarity or size). So in that respect, he was wrong. The usual procedure is to upload a NEW image, if for some reason a member feels strongly that an existing image doesn't represent the gun well. :) I know you're relatively new (compared to some of the OLD timers of the site hahahaha) so I thought I'd put that out there since it is something we've all done since 2008, but never really explained to anyone new. :D lol.

== RE: GAU-8 ==

The reason the full length is not linked to as much as the cropped contrast images is that up until 2 days ago the cropped one was the only one on the site. I'm not a great fan of it personally as it is a digitally manipulated version of the full length image, which if you blow them up to full size the full length one is actually much clearer on the detail of the gun itself. Regardless, I'm going to use the image of the gun with the helmet and ammo box for any new pages I put it on, as this is the only image that shows just the physical gun, unobscured by the feeding mechanism, making it more in keeping with the other automatic cannon pictures on the site. I'm going to move the contrast image to the discussion aswell, as I see no reason to use it because even though it is slightly larger, it shows less of the gun and is more blurry and grainy.--[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:06, 20 October 2011 (CDT)
:The only part of a GAU-8/A I have ever seen in a movie or game is the muzzle, so for an ID of a non standard installation anything apart from that is irrelevant to be honest. All the other aircraft cannon pictures on the sight, such as the ones for Vulcan variants, don't have the feed mechanism which is also required for them to fire. With the avenger the drum is needed for the weapon to work, which is part of the reason I put the full length picture on the main page, and is an integral part of the gun. As the weapon is link-less, the rounds are not pulled along on their belt by the feed mechanism, but are actually driven to the gun by the drum which stores the rounds nose towards the centre in a spiral channel, with a grooved rotor in the centre which rotates to move the rounds along the channel. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:38, 20 October 2011 (CDT)

== Arkham City ==

Yes, Two-Face uses a Milkor grenade launcher in the final Catwoman mission, possibly the same one Penguin used in the Batman campaign. On a related note, I think I should like to clarify that the unknown rifles that Tyger troopers carry in Arkham City are intended to be CAR-15s, instead of a completely fictional rifle. For example, in the comic book tie-ins, there is a scene when a Tyger squad bursts into a building, weapons at the ready. The guns depicted here, while obviously based off those in the game, do not have the inaccurate carry top or exaggerated handgrip. They are much more recognizable as their RL counterparts.

In addition, an unknown AK clone and a bolt-action sniper rifle both appear in unlockable ''Arkham City'' concept art. One is entitled "TYGER Sniper" and the other shows Catwoman on the ceiling over a guard's head. Haven't actually unlocked either of these yet, so I can't say I've viewed them up-close, but perhaps you have? Maybe they deserve a section in the ''B:AC'' article.

== Team America ==

Allow me to raise a matter to you since you're the only Administrator that I know. This weekend, I watched the 2004 marionet-animated comedy [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372588/ Team America] for the 2nd time since it came out and seen through IMFDB-eyes the guns used were actually quite appropriate and identifiable (see below screenshot).

[[Image:TeamAmerica-screenshotexample.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]

I am dying to get started on a good IMFDB page for this movie, but since this movie is a bit of an odd-one-out, I raised the question on the IMFDB main page if anybody has strong objections. I get mixed feedback and since I'd hate to see a page that I created eventually getting deleted I am asking your expert opinion as an Administrator.

My point is that even though this is a comedy and the marionettes walk clumsy, the production team actually did take great care to create a believable environment as far as (95% of the) prop guns are concerned. The Production Designer the 35-year veteran Jim Dultz and his team consists of such people as Ramsey Avery (Art Director for e.g. [[Edge of Darkness]] and [[Minority Report]]) plus Thomas Valentine (who was the Supervising Art Director for [[Battle: Los Angeles]]). These guys have a reputation and don't just shop around at the Toys“R”Us toy soldier department, wouldn't you agree?

With many anime and video games rightfully having entries for fantasy weapons derived from existing guns (like e.g. [[Crysis 2]]), I feel Team America deserves a well-done IMFDB page telling fact from fiction. I hope that in the light of above info, you can agree with me and I am looking forward to hear your thoughts on this matter. Thanks for your time, --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 06:04, 14 November 2011 (CST)

==RE: two-tone P228==

I switched it back because that two-tone P228 is a factory version which is identical to the ones seen in ''[[24]]'' and other movies.

It is interesting about them two editing just certain pages. If I remember right when MT2008 banned POI, I think he banned certain IP addresses he was using, I don't think Burt's IPs matched. But they are both in Cali. They were on the forums about the same time posting, they may have made replies back to each other. I don't remember. Hopefully the other mods will come to a decision on the RPG issue.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 09:13, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

:Hi, Tim, I have to present some of my research today (I'm in grad school), so I apologize for being so busy yesterday and today, but quick update:

:(1.) I think I got you approved to post on the forum. Try it now and see if it works.

:(2.) I did used to think that Burt might be PoI re-incarnated, and he certainly sounds like PoI sometimes, but I haven't been able to be sure of this. Being stubborn and argumentative is not a personality trait exclusive to PoI, and Burt hasn't demonstrated some of the other personality traits that made PoI so unlikable (in my opinion, anyway). That being said, PoI was quite technically competent (setting up sock puppet accounts after he got banned), so it's not impossible that he and Burt are the same person. But as Brian told you, their IPs were very, very different.

:(3.) We'll get to the bottom of the Type 69 issue. Promise. :)

Muzzelite IS a tactical aftermarket accessories company that is independent from Ruger. and their most famous contribution to society is a trademarked line of bullpup kits. at the time the TM was just a way to break people from the bad habit of using the Muzzelite as a generic firearm term, that's all.

It this a very early M5906? I thought I ask you since you visit the site every day, and know a lot about guns. :) Thanks in advance.

Unless you know for sure with a verifiable source be careful NOT to declare it as a definite fact.

==Re: Ace Combat==

That's a good question. I have the PS2 titles in the series myself and have played the demo for ''AC6'', but lack a means to take screenshots that wouldn't look like crap. Ideally, I'd like to see the weapon ports for each aircraft mentioned in the articles (ideally with the gun firing so as to show the viewer where the firing port is via the muzzle flash), but I know that might be a bit excessive with some of the games such as ''The Unsung War'' which has something like 16 aircraft that all use the [[M61 Vulcan]] cannon. If my ideal suggestion is not possible, then try to get the player characters' signature aircraft (F-14A Tomcat in ''AC5'', F-22A Raptor in ''AC04'', F-15C Eagle in ''AC Zero'', F-16C Fighting Falcon & F-15E Strike Eagle in ''AC6'', etc.). I greatly appreciate your interest in helping to complete these articles, and look forward to seeing your input on them. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 04:07, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

:I would exercise caution with some of the ground vehicle weapons, as that can easily stray into territory not within the scope of the wiki. If you can find a tank or APC with a machine gun or a ZSU-23 AA gun, that's fine, but please avoid things like heavy artillery systems or large-caliber flak guns. There is also a screenshot I would like to see for the ''AC5'' article, but it's extremely difficult to get; namely an image of the player's aircraft being engaged by a [[FIM-92A Stinger]] in "Powderkeg" with the Yuktobanian radio chatter that specifically mentions that weapon system by name. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 04:43, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

::The 'tricky' part of the "Powderkeg" shot I mentioned is having that piece of dialogue appear at the same time as you're being engaged by said SAM. Both things happen at random during the mission if I remember correctly, so getting them to happen together so as to create a decent screenshot could be difficult. I also thought of another shot I would like to see for ''AC Zero''; a pic of a Belkan BM-335 bomber firing its defensive M61 Vulcan armament (I've noticed that the BM-335 seems to be the only heavy bomber in the series thus far that has any defensive gun armament; the in-game B-52's & Tu-95's appear to have been 'neutered').

:We're not talking about Jessica Biel or Josh Lucas, we're talking about their characters, who are US Navy Lieutenants. If we're going to bother listing their ranks, we might as well do it correctly. And as I said, "Lt." is not shorthand for a US Navy Lieutenant, "LT" is. If you want to write out the whole rank, go ahead. But if you're going to abbreviate it, then do it correctly.

::I thought being correct trumped readability. "Lt." may be short for the *word* "Lieutenant," but we're talking about the specific rank.

If you want to write out the full rank, go ahead, but keep in mind, the abbreviations do exist for a reason. And of course there are no hard feelings, we're resolving this like reasonable adults. As for [[Stealth]], I think it A) REALLY deserved a good video game adaptation, B) felt like a fifth grader's attempt to remake "2001: A Space Odyssey," C) is an absolutely gorgeous, yet absolutely terrible film, like [[Pearl Harbor]], and D) like Pearl Harbor, makes me wonder if the Navy leaves deciding whether or not to assist on a film to a chimp. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 01:05, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

(I haven't had a PS2 in four years, and yet still have my copies of AC04, AC5, and Zero just in case I do get one again.) Considering it's taken them FOUR YEARS to make a console sequel to AC6, I'm willing to make room for a few clones, like a Stealth game. (As long as it's good.

I am having an issue that I hope you can help me with (2nd time today!). Do you have any idea how to delete pages? Yes, I asked you earlier but this time is different...

Reason is that I created a page for the [[Bruni Magnum]] because it appeared in one of my movies. MPM suggested me to make that page a section of the [[Colt Python]] page because it is in fact a blank-firing copy of that revolver. I could not use 'move' and have automatic redirects created because that would mess up the Colt Python page.

Instead, I cut-and-paste my info to an additional entry in the Colt Python page but now I am left with a completely empty page ([[Bruni Magnum]]) that has no use but unfortunately this is where people get directed when they type in 'Bruni Magnum'. Sorry for the mess but do you have any suggestions how I cabn fix this. HELP!!! --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 09:29, 26 September 2011 (CDT)

==copyright==
well actually I only started copyrighting the images explicitly after some ugly piracy issues between 2009-2010, but if you were here from the start, all the veteran members already knew that my pics were MY pics :D Putting the copyright all over the place is a recent trend, and I've been trying to over write a lot of the older pics with an explicit copyright but it takes time. Most of the members back in the day knew enough when they saw the quality and that I had uploaded it. They knew better than to over write it. Also when I load someone else's pic as a place holder I usually put a note on it that it's not mine. So, no I did not overlook anything. These image files are OLD, from the early days of IMFDB and it takes a while to over write over 700 original images. But I'll get to it. He is NOT correct though in overwriting the image that he did. :D Whether it is mine or not, the IMFDB rule is NOT to overwrite a superior image with a lesser quality image (whether it be lighting style, clarity or size). So in that respect, he was wrong. The usual procedure is to upload a NEW image, if for some reason a member feels strongly that an existing image doesn't represent the gun well. :) I know you're relatively new (compared to some of the OLD timers of the site hahahaha) so I thought I'd put that out there since it is something we've all done since 2008, but never really explained to anyone new. :D lol.

== RE: GAU-8 ==

The reason the full length is not linked to as much as the cropped contrast images is that up until 2 days ago the cropped one was the only one on the site. I'm not a great fan of it personally as it is a digitally manipulated version of the full length image, which if you blow them up to full size the full length one is actually much clearer on the detail of the gun itself. Regardless, I'm going to use the image of the gun with the helmet and ammo box for any new pages I put it on, as this is the only image that shows just the physical gun, unobscured by the feeding mechanism, making it more in keeping with the other automatic cannon pictures on the site. I'm going to move the contrast image to the discussion aswell, as I see no reason to use it because even though it is slightly larger, it shows less of the gun and is more blurry and grainy.--[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:06, 20 October 2011 (CDT)
:The only part of a GAU-8/A I have ever seen in a movie or game is the muzzle, so for an ID of a non standard installation anything apart from that is irrelevant to be honest. All the other aircraft cannon pictures on the sight, such as the ones for Vulcan variants, don't have the feed mechanism which is also required for them to fire. With the avenger the drum is needed for the weapon to work, which is part of the reason I put the full length picture on the main page, and is an integral part of the gun. As the weapon is link-less, the rounds are not pulled along on their belt by the feed mechanism, but are actually driven to the gun by the drum which stores the rounds nose towards the centre in a spiral channel, with a grooved rotor in the centre which rotates to move the rounds along the channel. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:38, 20 October 2011 (CDT)

== Arkham City ==

Yes, Two-Face uses a Milkor grenade launcher in the final Catwoman mission, possibly the same one Penguin used in the Batman campaign. On a related note, I think I should like to clarify that the unknown rifles that Tyger troopers carry in Arkham City are intended to be CAR-15s, instead of a completely fictional rifle. For example, in the comic book tie-ins, there is a scene when a Tyger squad bursts into a building, weapons at the ready. The guns depicted here, while obviously based off those in the game, do not have the inaccurate carry top or exaggerated handgrip. They are much more recognizable as their RL counterparts.

In addition, an unknown AK clone and a bolt-action sniper rifle both appear in unlockable ''Arkham City'' concept art. One is entitled "TYGER Sniper" and the other shows Catwoman on the ceiling over a guard's head. Haven't actually unlocked either of these yet, so I can't say I've viewed them up-close, but perhaps you have? Maybe they deserve a section in the ''B:AC'' article.

== Team America ==

Allow me to raise a matter to you since you're the only Administrator that I know. This weekend, I watched the 2004 marionet-animated comedy [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372588/ Team America] for the 2nd time since it came out and seen through IMFDB-eyes the guns used were actually quite appropriate and identifiable (see below screenshot).

[[Image:TeamAmerica-screenshotexample.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]

I am dying to get started on a good IMFDB page for this movie, but since this movie is a bit of an odd-one-out, I raised the question on the IMFDB main page if anybody has strong objections. I get mixed feedback and since I'd hate to see a page that I created eventually getting deleted I am asking your expert opinion as an Administrator.

My point is that even though this is a comedy and the marionettes walk clumsy, the production team actually did take great care to create a believable environment as far as (95% of the) prop guns are concerned. The Production Designer the 35-year veteran Jim Dultz and his team consists of such people as Ramsey Avery (Art Director for e.g. [[Edge of Darkness]] and [[Minority Report]]) plus Thomas Valentine (who was the Supervising Art Director for [[Battle: Los Angeles]]). These guys have a reputation and don't just shop around at the Toys“R”Us toy soldier department, wouldn't you agree?

With many anime and video games rightfully having entries for fantasy weapons derived from existing guns (like e.g. [[Crysis 2]]), I feel Team America deserves a well-done IMFDB page telling fact from fiction. I hope that in the light of above info, you can agree with me and I am looking forward to hear your thoughts on this matter. Thanks for your time, --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 06:04, 14 November 2011 (CST)

==RE: two-tone P228==

I switched it back because that two-tone P228 is a factory version which is identical to the ones seen in ''[[24]]'' and other movies. Whereas the picture posted by Commando is a regular blued P228 which had only its slide nickeled - it lacks the nickel-plated controls. I agree that the image quality is a little better, but I prefer something that more closely matches the factory two-tone 228s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 10:16, 16 November 2011 (CST)

In the book, evan wright mentions benelli shotguns being used by officers

:Sure but in the series, we don't see any. Did see a shotgun carried by the Iraqi translator.

There is a Major in the series who carries a shotgun with him (Nate Fick's book refers to him as "Major Benelli") though from the looks of it it doesn't look like a Benelli. The PALS webbing on his body armor has shotgun shells stowed in them.

:I just finished watching this whole series. I feel that it was a day well spent-[[User:S&Wshooter|S&Wshooter]] 22:58, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

:Major Todd Eckloff (Benjamin Busch's character) is in fact "Major Benelli" from both books. In the show he carries Remington 870 instead of a Benelli, but then again his portrayal in the series is very different from both Evan Wright's AND Nathaniel Fick's depictions of him (incorporating elements of several real-world marines), so the change of his weapon might be related to the change in personality.

Maybe someone could enlighten me as to why a '''night sight''' is shown being used in broad daylight? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:50, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

he switches it of you can see in screewby he switches it one again at night most of the time it isn't shown when he does that, I bet he didn't have another scope to mount so he just used it switched of

the scope can be used during the day or night. If you notice the cover on the lens, it has a small hole in it, this allows a small amount of light into the unit if the cover was removed during the day time it would danage the scope. At night the lens cap is removed .

Actually the scope Colbert uses in the series is just a prop, and doesn't quite look like a AN/PVS-17.

i recently bought the book after watching the series and love them both. in the middle of the book it has a series of pictures in cluding thereal brad colbert with an M4 with M203 and night-vision scope. the same setup his M4 has in the series and many other soldiers have the same setup aswell [[user:smish34|smish34]]

-Real operators used NV scopes in broad daylight because they can see their AN/PEQs laser (you know, those infrared aiming devices). I assumed it'll be the most logical answer there is. Oh well, just sharing my mind right now... [TeeKev]

==Older Teardrop Forward Assists on m4 Carbines?==
What's up with that? I don't think Colt ever made m4s with anything but the newer round style forward assist.

- maybe an airsoft replica? i read a discussion on an airsoft board where they claimed they could read Classic Army designations on the guns in some scenes (then there was a flamewar about it...)

::It's possible that they may have used some airsoft M4s for the ''non-firing'' scenes, but I would never take the airsoft community's word for it. Airsofters tend to be full of crap and think that ''every'' movie uses airsoft guns and CGI muzzle flashes (because most of them don't appreciate how much more expensive and unrealistic CGI is for creating muzzle flashes...it's actually cheaper to use the real thing and blanks).

::Anyway, it is kind of strange that the M4s in this movie have the teardrop forward assist, but it's fairly easy to replace forward assists on AR upper receiver units. I've seen pictures of M16A1s with the round forward assist (even though Colt only made them with teardrop) and M16A2s with the teardrop forward assist (in fact, many of Colt's early AR-15 A2 uppers had the teardrop style). It's possible that whatever armorer supplied the weapons for this movie just happened to have an abundance of teardrop forward assists in inventory, but it certainly doesn't mean the weapons are airsoft. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:47, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

:I actually never paid too much attention to the forward assist and never knew about the different styles, [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]

::I did notice a Classic Army airsoft M4 in one scene of Episode 4 (been seeing a lot of those in movies/TV recently, i.e. ''[[The Hurt Locker]]''). But most of the M4s on this show are real guns; the teardrop forward assist is something that can be replaced in maintenance. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 14:19, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

== M733? ==

That barrel looks a bit long to be an M733 [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]

I think it is an M733, the picture is low quality which (combined with the motion blur of the scene) makes it hard to distinguish where the barrel ends and the flash hider begins, thus making the barrel appear longer. Then again I'm no expert on AR variants, so take that for what you will. If anyone with a higher quality image (or more knowledge on ARs than I) could confirm/correct the entry, that would be great.--[[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 23:14, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

[[Image:GKC15A.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Another view of the Marine's Colt 733.]]
Look at the length of the handguards, it's not a shorty. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 23:31, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
[[Image:GKC15B.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Marine not wearing his helmet carries the Colt 733.]]

Okay, anybody have any ideas as to what it is then?--[[User:Lynx|Lynx]] 21:54, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
Hard to say. Barrel length looks longer than a 733, but the handguards look too long to make it a 723. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 17:53, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
:No, look at the forward assist. Its an MGC replica. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 17:58, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

==PEQ-IV==

Does anyone know if the AN/PEQ-IV (the type of laser aiming module seen on many of the Marines' M4s in this series) is actually used by any service in real life? I've only ever seen airsofters (who can't afford PEQ-2s) using them. I didn't think the PEQ-IV was considered mil-spec equipment. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 14:06, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

-It's actually AN/P'''A'''Q-IV, but yes it is mil-spec and was widely used by the USMC in the earlier stages of the Iraq War.
However they are technically inaccurate to Force Recon, who make use of the SOPMOD package for their M4/M16's, which includes the
AN/PEQ-2, not the PAQ-4.

::Thanks for the info. I just did some more reading, and it turns out that the Recon Marines were using the PAC-4/C literally right up until the invasion when they started getting the PEC-2s. Also, I notice that in the images of 1st Recon that appear in the book ''Generation Kill'', several of the Marines do in fact have PEC-2s on their M4s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:58, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

== M-136 use. ==

One can be seen being used in the Johnny cash montage at the ending. An M-240 can be seen being used also.

==the M4s in this show==

Here is a Blu-Ray image of Sgt. Colbert with his M4 in the last episode of the series:

[[Image:GK1.7-M4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|'''(Enlarge this to full-size by clicking twice on it)''']]

All of the M4s in this show appear to be fitted with accessories that are not mil-specification. Some questions I have:

(1.) What brand lower receiver is Colbert's M4 built upon? It doesn't seem to be Colt; the markings on the magazine well look wrong. Anyone have any thoughts on who manufactured these lowers? (we've already pointed out that the uppers have the older teardrop forward assist; maybe the maker of the uppers is the same as lowers)

(2.) Contrary to what the page says, none of the firing M4s in the show are fitted with Knight's Armament RAS forearms (although the airsoft Classic Army M4s that are used as non-firing stand-ins do have KAC). You can see that the forearms have four wide air slits, rather than seven circular holes (as on KAC forearms), so they must be some other brand. Can anyone tell me what?

(3.) Sgt. Rudy Reyes also has a vertical foregrip on his M4 that does not seem to be either KAC or ERGO (again, contrary to the page). Any thoughts on the brand?

-[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

The rail covers on the rails in the above screen cap are UTG, I am not sure of the rail system itself though. It is possible they used UTG rails for filming even on the firing rifles.

:Yep, you are correct. Both the rail forearms and the rail covers are made by UTG. It also looks like the rubber pistol grips on many of the M4s, as well as Sgt. Reyes' vertical foregrip, also were made by UTG. Apparently, the show's armorers really like UTG accessories for some reason. Nice catch, thanks! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:15, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

== MK-19 AGL ==

The screen cap labeled "MK19 AGL disassembled" is incorrect. The weapon is fully assembled in that cap, but not mounted.
:agreed, just removed from the mounts, i'l make the change, if theres someone that has used a MK,19 and can say its disassembled then go ahead and change it back. also if there is any guys that have used a MK:19 the series portrays it as a half decent weapon that jams every time its used, i wouldn't mind hearing a comment from a present/past user of one [[User:Scarecrow|scarecrow]] 14:06, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
::Never used one, but in the series they were always short of LSA to lubricate the barrels, so that would explain why they always jammed.--[[User:Crackshot|Crackshot]] 03:55, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
:::My brother used one whilst in Iraq and said they were quite awesome to shoot, but you needed to clean and grease them an unhealthy amount of times a day. -[[User:The Winchester|The Winchester]]

[[Image:Generation_kill.JPG|thumb|right|300px|''Generation Kill'' (2008)]]

''Generation Kill'' is a seven part Iraq War miniseries that premiered on HBO in the summer of 2008. It is based on the book of the same name by Rolling Stone writer Evan Wright, who was embedded with the Marines of the First Reconnaissance Battalion during the initial stages of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.

'''The following weapons are featured in the miniseries ''Generation Kill'':'''
__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
== M4A1 Carbine ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 Carbine]] is the main rifle used by the Marines of First Recon in the miniseries, including Corporal Josh Ray Person ([[James Ransone]]) and Sergeant Brad 'Iceman' Colbert ([[Alexander Skarsgård]]). The M4s seen in the series all have UTG full quad rails (as opposed to KAC rails, used by the real-life Recon Marines). Most of the Marines' M4s have no additional accessories, while the team leaders all have M4s fitted with [[M203]] grenade launchers and AN/PAC-4 infrared laser designators (in real life, the AN/PEQ-2 was used by the Recon Marines instead, which is why the show's dialogue makes reference to the PEQ-2 batteries). Sgt. Colbert's M4, which is the most unique of the M4 Carbines in the series, sports an AN/PVS-17 night sight (sometimes replaced with an ACOG scope), a M203 grenade launcher, UTG rail covers, PAQ-4 laser module, and an ERGO grip. Colbert appears to be the only Recon Marine whose M4 is fitted with optics, rather than the standard carry handle/iron sights. Sgt. [[Rudy Reyes]] carries an M4 with a UTG vertical foregrip and a PAC-4; he is the only Marine who isn't a team leader and gets a PAC-4, and also the only Marine whose M4 has a vertical foregrip. Also note that with the exception of some officers, First Recon are the only Marines to carry the M4A1 as standard issue; probably the result of a need for a lighter weapon that's easier to carry in cramped Humvees.
In Episode 3, at 34'10", the M4 appears to be a Classic Army airsoft replica (look at the carry handle and Armalite white markings).

== M16A2 Rifle ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] is carried by numerous Marines, including Lt. Nathaniel Fick ([[Stark Sands]]),
Cpt. Bryan Patterson ([[Michael Kelly]]), and Hospital Corpsman Second Class Robert Timothy 'Doc' Bryan ([[Jonah Lotan]]). The M16A2 has been mostly phased out for the newer M16A4, but because the mini-series depicts the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, the M16A2 was the standard rifle of most Marine units at the time.

==AKMS==
[[AKMS#AKMS|AKMS]] rifles are used by Iraqi soldiers, civilians and even American Marines, in particular one platoon commander, Captain Dave "Captain America" McGraw ([[Eric Nenninger]]). Whilst all of the AKMS rifles in the series are of normal length, none are seen with the folding stock deployed.

== M203 grenade launcher ==
The [[M203 grenade launcher]] is usually carried by the Marine team leaders and officers, including Sergeant Brad Colbert and Lieutenant Nathaniel Fick. In episodes 5 and 6, the M203s are used to launch blue smoke grenades in an attempt to prevent accidental shootings at roadblocks. In one tragic scene, a smoke grenade is fired to only ricochet off the ground and strike the head of a civilian.

==M242 Bushmaster chaingun==
The 25mm [[M242 Bushmaster chaingun]] is the main gun of the Marines' LAV-25 armored personnel carriers. The LAVs are seen firing their Bushmasters after the First Recon encounters enemy forces at the bridge. All LAVs that are seen in the series are computer generated. Originally they were practical vehicles made from plywood and sheet metal on a truck chassis, but due to their poor quality appearance the military advisers insisted that they be replaced with CG models, at the cost of $240,000.

Generation Kill

2011-11-22T17:38:20Z

S9771773G: /* Recoiless Rifles */

[[Image:Generation_kill.JPG|thumb|right|300px|''Generation Kill'' (2008)]]

''Generation Kill'' is a seven part Iraq War miniseries that premiered on HBO in the summer of 2008. It is based on the book of the same name by Rolling Stone writer Evan Wright, who was embedded with the Marines of the First Reconnaissance Battalion during the initial stages of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.

'''The following weapons are featured in the miniseries ''Generation Kill'':'''
__TOC__ 

=Rifles=
== M4A1 Carbine ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 Carbine]] is the main rifle used by the Marines of First Recon in the miniseries, including Corporal Josh Ray Person ([[James Ransone]]) and Sergeant Brad 'Iceman' Colbert ([[Alexander Skarsgård]]). The M4s seen in the series all have UTG full quad rails (as opposed to KAC rails, used by the real-life Recon Marines). Most of the Marines' M4s have no additional accessories, while the team leaders all have M4s fitted with [[M203]] grenade launchers and AN/PAC-4 infrared laser designators (in real life, the AN/PEQ-2 was used by the Recon Marines instead, which is why the show's dialogue makes reference to the PEQ-2 batteries). Sgt. Colbert's M4, which is the most unique of the M4 Carbines in the series, sports an AN/PVS-17 night sight (sometimes replaced with an ACOG scope), a M203 grenade launcher, UTG rail covers, PAQ-4 laser module, and an ERGO grip. Colbert appears to be the only Recon Marine whose M4 is fitted with optics, rather than the standard carry handle/iron sights. Sgt. [[Rudy Reyes]] carries an M4 with a UTG vertical foregrip and a PAC-4; he is the only Marine who isn't a team leader and gets a PAC-4, and also the only Marine whose M4 has a vertical foregrip. Also note that with the exception of some officers, First Recon are the only Marines to carry the M4A1 as standard issue; probably the result of a need for a lighter weapon that's easier to carry in cramped Humvees.
In Episode 3, at 34'10", the M4 appears to be a Classic Army airsoft replica (look at the carry handle and Armalite white markings).

[[Image:GenerationK 013.jpg|thumb|none|600px|none|In Episode 1 titled "Get Some", Sgt. Rudy Reyes prepares to run laps around Camp Matilda in full gear and carrying his M4, which has a UTG vertical foregrip and AN/PAC-4 laser sight. ''Trivia: [[Rudy Reyes]] plays himself in the series, and also helped train the actors.'']]

== M16A2 Rifle ==
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] is carried by numerous Marines, including Lt. Nathaniel Fick ([[Stark Sands]]),
Cpt. Bryan Patterson ([[Michael Kelly]]), and Hospital Corpsman Second Class Robert Timothy 'Doc' Bryan ([[Jonah Lotan]]). The M16A2 has been mostly phased out for the newer M16A4, but because the mini-series depicts the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, the M16A2 was the standard rifle of most Marine units at the time.

==AKMS==
[[AKMS#AKMS|AKMS]] rifles are used by Iraqi soldiers, civilians and even American Marines, in particular one platoon commander, Captain Dave "Captain America" McGraw ([[Eric Nenninger]]).
