== The Sopranos ==
Great job on the Sopranos page! There are some small mistakes with the Glocks (some 19s in 17s sections etc.) but the page is very thorough and well made. Keep up the good work. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:Yeah, this page is very nice and thorough. However, pretty much all of the Glocks you have IDed as -17s are actually 19s. Also, I have posted a picture of one of the "unidentified pistols" - it's not a real gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

::No problem. Also, it looks like quite a few episodes of this show feature some of the other Non Guns. I think one of the SIGs may be a Non Gun, too. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:53, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

==The Sting==
EXCELLENT job on the screengrabs for the Sting. Usually the general picture size on the pages is 500px, which I think should be the case since the members should be able to fully enjoy your crisp clear screengrabs. Usually we don't have 600px or higher since it looks too big on monitors which are 1024x768 (and believe it or not there are still smaller monitors on 800x600 settings). 500 seems to be the standard that most pages ended up with. I hope you don't mind if I upgrade your screengrab sizes to 500 px (from the 400 px you have). They are excellent images and deserve to be enjoyed in their 'larger' size. :) regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 23:48, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

==The Godfather==
Great job with [[The Godfather]], the page really needed to be done. It looks great. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Thanks for the note==
Yes, I was freaking out a bit on Dillinger and didn't know how to tell you since you did so much hard work. I personally try not to put more than four images (sometimes up to seven or eight) But the shots must be completely different or show another character. I also only put more than a few shots if the weapon is hard to see and several different angles will make it easier to identify (but I only do that with fantasy, custom or unusual weapons. I think everyone already knows what an M1911 looks like from every angle.) I feel bad about bringing it up. I know that some of us slammed Gunmaster45 previously for some of the extensive screengrabbing on his pages (poor guy). The problem is that it's a matter of preference. I prefer the pages to be concise and educational, and tend to think that too many images will being to make the viewer's eyes blur and you start making them lose interest. I tend to think that we DON'T need to see every single instance of the weapon's appearance in a film, but listing them in the description is fine. Twenty shots of the M1928 thompson on [[Dillinger]] set a dubious record of the most amount of 'overkill' on a weapon section on a movie page :) hahahahaha. One has to consider when the viewer will just get '''bored''' with the page and move on. Don't want that to happen. I've been wanting IMFDB to adopt a uniform code or rules for posting, but the number of screengrabs tends to change with the movie or page. Sometimes less is more. Sometimes you need more pics to make the point. But we must all be careful to NOT overdo it. This is my own standard, mind you, but I would limit screengrabs to less than eight (8) if there is no '''important''' new information that can be gleaned from more pics. There is also the issues of slow loading for new users and overtaxing of the servers. Hope this helps. I was venting to MT2008 since I was also seeing a trend with some of the other users and was concerned that we still don't have a uniform 'code' or template for the pages to guide newer members. best regards. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
:IMO, if a user gets bored after viewing 11 or so screenshots, they should be taking ritalin. After maybe 25 or so, then it is getting tedious. Great work with Dillinger. I've limited myself to ten or so screenshots, and like MPM they are usually different people in different scenes. At the rate you are screencapping movies, you could soon be among us as an admin. But put some info on your profile so your name isn't written in red. It looks like you're more serious if your name is in bright blue. And with [[The Getaway (1972)]], I changed the (movie) thing to a date because that's what we do when there are several versions of something with the same name. And I recomend you replace Rafa's images with your own, your's are much better quality. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:I'm glad to see you added info to your page. Would you like me to protect your page from any anonymous users who might feel compelled to vandalize it? - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::You're protected. Now only registered users can even touch your page. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
==The Untouchables==
Great job, that page has needed some screencaps for quite some time. I wish I was getting more done, I've been busy with other stuff lately. Hopefully I will finish season 2 of Mail Call and work on some of the movies on my list soon. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:You got all the shotguns right this time. You just needed some corrections on the revolvers. Good job. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Re: Bourne Identity==

That's OK if you can't get a ''good'' picture of Conklin's gun, but at least take the best shots you can find, and then put down "Unknown semi-automatic pistol" and explain that the lighting conditions make it difficult to tell what it is.

Also, you forgot another gun...the automatic weapon used by the guy in the safehouse who's shooting at Bourne from several floors down. I'm pretty sure it was a [[SIG SG 550#SIG SG 552|SIG SG-552]], though I had trouble telling without being able to pause the TV. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:22, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

==Re: Bourne Supremacy==

People have been saying it's a WA2000 for years. The IMDB page used to say it was a WA2000 until I edited it. But you can't believe what you read on the 'net all the time, I'm afraid. People mis-ID guns all the time. That's why IMFDB has to be better than the average site. My guess, which I put on the page, is that it might be a Keppeler & Fritz precision rifle, though I can't say I'm at all positive about that.

Also, there's another gun from this movie that you forgot about...when the CIA team is going to Jarda's house, there's a shot inside the car where one of them is loading a Micro Uzi. Might wanna grab that one, too.

Thanks if you can get the new screenshots of the SL8 and the P99. Also, don't forget about the ones from ''[[The Bourne Identity (2002)]]''! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 06:05, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

==Thunderball shotgun==
At first it looks like a Remington 870 (I can't guarantee it is a Wingmaster, but it looks like one and fits the 60s time era). In the last two screenshots, it is a [[Browning A5]] sporting shotgun. Google has pretty piss poor images of it, I'll ask MPM if he has one in his armory. I ought to be able to ID these shotguns, they are two of my favorite. :) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Tomorrow Never Dies==

Nice job on ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies]]''! I did make some corrections, though, in case you want to look 'em over. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 17:40, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

:We actually have a picture of a fake MP5K-PDW under the MP5 page. It's the one right above the picture of the real MP5K-PDW that you posted. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:50, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

==Badlands==
You were right the first time. The user made an inappropriate change. The preferred size for thumbnails on a page is 500px. Though it could be 600px if the image is a widescreen pic, but 300 is too small. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

==A and AN==
As far as titles, I am just going by the standard sorting standard utilized by places like Hollywood Video or Blockbuster or Netflix. I don't think we need to change the "a" and "An" titles since there aren't that many. As you can see, we had TONS of "the" titles, which when sorted in the video catalogs is done with the "the" at the end. Thanks. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:30, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

== You're now a Sysop, Congrats! ==

Gunmaster45 recommended you for an admin position as a thank you for all of your hard work screencapping - I agreed with him. Thanks for all of your contributions to the community, enjoy your new privileges. [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 00:16, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

==Congratulations!==
Welcome to the club! I hope you didn't infer from my conversations with Gunmaster45 that I didn't want you to be an Admin. I was just talking in generalities about the membership as a whole, noting that we must be careful, since we've been very lucky so far in that we have had admins that all get along with each other and all operate from the same template as far as how the site should look. You fit that bill! So Welcome aboard! Now you will have the task of also policing for idiotic weird stuff that people put in at random! Just like Wikipedia! hahahaha. best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 21:11, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
::BTW, You've done an excellent job so far. Don't know if I ever said that! :) MPM2008

==Spoilers==
Well for the record, I'm totally against spoilers. IMDB (the movie site) also has a policy that if a member reveals a spoiler without warning people, their accounts will be suspended. On IMFDB.org (our site) I've seen people put in ridiculous amounts of information that really has nothing to do with identifying the gun. If a person has SEEN the movie, then they will know what scene the gun appears in with well written "Generic" information. If a person has NOT SEEN the movie, then their viewing pleasure will not be destroyed. I remember a long time ago, (don't remember the movie) where someone was talking about a gun, and revealed some sort of double twist (the killer turns out to be imaginary, a fictional persona in the mind of the hero who is actually the serial killer himself ... something like that .... ) and I thought "WTF?!?!?!" That ruins the entire MYSTERY of the movie since all throughout the film we're trying to figure out who the killer is. That spoiler was outrageous. And it had NOTHING to do with the guns people were carrying. So yes, SPOILERS, IMHO are frowned upon, not just in the IMFDB community but the movie fan community as a whole. If a gun reveal also puts out a spoiler that is unavoidable (which is RARE but it happens) then a spoiler warning at the top of the page is needed. But by all means. Some of these anonymous users are 12 year olds who may not have the world experience to know what is not appropriate, so that is the job of the ADMIN/MOD. Hope this helps.

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

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

==Re: Young Guns==
Thanks, I had that movie in my DVD pile too long. I included the image of the real Billy the Kid because that was taken on a tin slab (and is reversed when printed on the slab), so I thought the movie picture was WAY off. Now I'm doing all my Eastwood films, starting with Dirty Harry. It's harder than I thought it would be so far, some of the guns are very hard to catch. Hopefully the other DH films will be easier. BTW, excellent work yourself, I like how you've covered all the Bond films, now this site has one more genre (a huge one too) to brag about ownning. Keep up the good work. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== ''Patton'' Up Next? ==

Just saw you upload the DVD cover fot ''[[Patton]]'', does this mean it's going to be your next screencap project? I saw part of it earlier today on AMC, and the page for it here is in pretty sorry shape to say the least. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 05:49, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

==Nice Work==
Patton came out great, excellent work. I originally came here to discuss something else though. I was scanning over random pages and The Godfather came up, and I remembered a gun that you missed. When Pacino is in Italy walking with the other guys carrying shotguns, American soldiers drive by in a jeep and one of them has a Thompson, I believe it was an M1A1. Not that its a big deal, but if you feel like going back to check, I'd appreciate it. I don't own the movie myself, I just rented it a few times.

Another thing, I bought the Untouchables recently and if it's okay with you, I was gonna add some Star B shots and clean up the differences between them and the 1911s, because Costner actually used the B a lot in the start of the film, before the raid where he finds umbrellas. If you'd rather do it though, feel free. I wouldn't be doing it for a while anyway since I'm still working on the Dirty Harry movies. Again, great work and keep it up. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::TWINE (wierd acronym) came out great, I made some corrections. I'm gonna keep working on Magnum Force now, I started it last night but didn't finish it. How many Bond films are left now to do?
::BTW, do you have Casino Royale in your collection (or Quantum or Solace yet)? Because even though I personally feel those films kind of killed classic Bond, they are still considered Bond films and the pages could use some work. Those movies took away the gadgets, and the general coolness of Bond IMO. Bond doesn't chase free-runners through construction sites, he finds a tank and follows him whilst destroying things in the process. And Bond was almost poisoned and had to be saved by the girl using the defibrilator. Bond shouldn't need saving, he's Bond! Now Bond is using his PPK again, so instead of making Bond more high-tech, their taking him back (???) to his really old habits. I bet Walther is pissed their new PPS isn't Bond's new gun, since Walther's been advertizing their guns in Bond films since the beginning. And the gadgets have always been my favorite part of the Bond movies, so until they bring in a Q to the new Bond series, I won't be interested. ;) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:::Unfortunately I didn't get Magnum Force done yet but that's because I've been catching up on screencapping Flashpoint, which is a pain in the ass because I can't fast forward and have to watch 40 minutes just to get 6 measly caps. Anyway, I'll be staying up as late as I want because it's friday and I can, so I'll still probably get MF done tonight. I look forward to seeing more of your work, as always you do an excellent job. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
== Thanks ==
Thank you good sir. Rockwolf66

==RE:==
Yeah, I double checked, it is a CZ-82 in all the shots. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:It would be the CZ-82/CZ-83 pistol series, since the guns are basically the same, although some 83s have squared trigger guards (the 83 is the civilian export, the 82 is the military pistol). A woman is seen using one in [[XXX]] and MPM took a picture of one, but I don't think he did a CZ-82. Apparently proper designation from the Czech military is "vz. 82", but I personally think CZ-82/CZ-83 is fine. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Glad I could help. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Scarface talk page==
Actually I agree with the poster who cleared the talk page. That discussion was way before the page was even remotely worked on, and the discussion isn't even relevant to the movie page as it is now. To keep the old discussion, for what it was, is a bit confusing. I wasn't the one who cleared the contents of the page, but I agree with it. Let me know what you think. :) best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:47, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

==Dukes of Hazzard, The (TV series)==
Nice job on the Dukes page. The prop house I worked at Ellis Mercantile supplied all the weapons and props for the show. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

==Thanks==
Thanks for the compliments on the Bionic Woman page. I've screencapped the entire show, but are rotating which pages I am updating, just so I don't get burned out on any one page.

As a side note, I finally got an email response from the effects house that did the guns for Starship Troopers, Space Above & Beyond, Star Trek Voyager and Babylon Five. I might be able to get high quality custom pics of these fabricated weapons for IMFDB, which would be pretty cool, since IMFDB would (again) be the only place to have the pics. I've known these guys for decades, but trying to get them to commit to taking the time out for a photo shoot of prop weapons has been a REAL CHORE. :) best regards MPM2008

==Re: Old movies==

Hey Speakeasy, Thanks for the compliment on the old movies that I have posted. So the master are bad that I use shadows and run them through Photoshop just to ID the weapon but can not use the image on IMFDB because of condition. I will check out the others that you have posted during the week. I am getting ready to screencap the Thin Man series of movies. Let me know if you help Id'ing a weapon and I will check it out. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

==bourne===
awesome work on the original bourne movie! it was about time. I wonder if the sniper has a ruger mini 14 in a factory folder stock with 'junk' stuck to it. I love how those old lasers sights were so BULKY! [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 16:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

==Re: Memento==

Ah, damn it, you got me! Haha. Yeah, I failed to notice that it doesn't have a double-stack frame. Good eyes.

If it doesn't have a double-stack frame, then it's most likely a S&W 4556 in .45 ACP. We don't have a page for that gun yet (maybe I should make one), but you can find a picture of one on the page for ''[[Collateral#Smith & Wesson 4556|Collateral]]''. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:36, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

:Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and make a page for the 4556. If it's appeared in two well-known movies, then it deserves one. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:47, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

==Re:Inside Man==

Maybe, but some of them, it's hard to tell for sure. The only thing I can say is that if the gun has a milled receiver, it's probably a regular AK-47, while Type 56s can be distinguished if you see the front sight and it's circular. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

:I take back what I said earlier. I've looked more closely, and now I'm not so sure there are ANY Type 56s in this picture. As best I can tell now, upon closer inspection, they are all original AK-47s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

::Don't worry; I made the same mistake myself. One of them really does appear to have the Chinese-style front sight, but then I looked closer and realized it didn't. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

==Re:Taurus Model 66 in Pulp Fiction ==
Hey Speak, It's a Taurus Model 66 in the photos. I prep all the guns for Pulp Fiction when I worked at Ellis Mercantile. The propmaster rented the Taurus along with the other guns for the show. Hope this ends the debate but it will probably keep going. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]
: Hey Speak, Nice Job on Pulp Fiction. I am doing setups right know for some more B&W movies should be ready by the weekend. Posted the Thin Man Series already check it out. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]
::Hey Speak, The Ingram is a MAC-10 in 9mm also known as a Ingram M10 most call it a MAC-10. They were built in both .45 ACP and 9mm that one is 9mm as are 95% of the MAC-10's in the film industry. The Model 36 that is listed is actually a 1952 Centennial Model hammerless with a grip safety. The correct model number for it is Smith & Wesson Model 40 - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]
:Hey Speak, You are going to shoot me on this one.:) The Taurus was bothering me so I went to a friend of mine that could get me copies of the rental sheets for Pulp Fiction issued by Ellis. The Taurus is a Model 689 6 shot .357 magnum not a Model 66 like I thought. Sorry about that I will fix the page now. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]
::Oh well I can't win them all. HAHAHA. I had John Travolta in the shop at Ellis showing him how the Star Model B works. Working on some more B&W movies hope to have them up next week. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

==Scarface (1932)==
Hey Speak, I checked out the photo of the arsenal and here is the id's for the weapons.
:'''Handguns on left wall Top to Bottom'''- Colt 1911,Colt New Service,Colt 1902 Pistol,Colt New Service,Colt Official Police.
:'''The weapons rack left or right'''- Colt 1921A Thompson,Winchester 1987 Shotgun,Colt 1921A Thompson,Winchester 1987 Shotgun,Colt 1921A Thompson,Winchester 1987 Shotgun.
Also can you check the film to see if there is a clear shot of Cesca with that .22 rifle in her hand in the same scene.- [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]
:: Hey Speak, Nice catch on the Colt Police Positive and the Colt 1902. I just watched the film last night and notice those same weapons. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

==RE: Deadwood==
I don't know if I would consider myself a pro but I've been looking at the page and you appeared to do a decent job. I recommend you group all the SAAs into one group though, since the only difference is barrel length (and it is Cavalary, not Cavalry ;) ).

I'll be uploading [[Joe Kidd]] on Friday or so because I've had the caps saved since tuesday and still haven't WATCHED the movie (I screencapped for guns, didn't have the sound on!) So if I uploaded I'd have to guess everyone's names, which is a real pain. Lot of rare firearms in that film, more than your standard selection in most westerns. The writer must have been a gun buff. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:Hey Speak, Nice page on Deadwood covers a lot of weapons not like the old westerns were they might have six different weapons on the whole show.- [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]
::I'll take a look at the Deadwood page in a second, I just have to finish adding SAA pics to the ''[[Two Mules for Sister Sara]]'' page. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Clint Eastwood and others==
Yeah, organizing them might make them look a little better. But make sure sequels are together, etc., etc. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Three Days of the Condor==
Hey Speak, I was looking over your page for Three Days of the Condor. Could you get a screen cap of the suppressed 1911A1 pistol used by Wicks? It would fill that out nicely. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]
: Hey Speak, I don't know about any other guns in the movie since I have not watched it in a long time. I just came across it by working on a new project it post.- [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

thanks for the compliment. It's actually been enjoyable going through all the photos. Call it a labor of love.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 04:08, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

==Weapons Page Layout==
Hey Speak, If you what to go ahead and dig in. The [[Daewoo K3]] has the latest update on the layout and I will update the Test page with the correct spacing and wording. Thanks -[[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

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

==Template==
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 and I look forward to your input on this matter. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:31, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

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

==Public Enemies==
Check out the [[Public Enemies]] page, I added a few HD screencaps you might like. I plan on seeing this opening day so if you don't I'll let you know how it is. This looks like an epic movie to screencap. To think of it, I've tackled two Mann films now (Collateral and Heat), and am seaking out Thief to do. I'm a major Mann fan. That sounds wrong... :) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Fight to the death? ;) I wish there was a way for us both to screencap it too, but I guess I'll let you do it. You know more about the people and the situations than I do and I've already done two Mann films already (and working on three), so it's all yours. Have fun. :) Just make sure you replace the HD trailer images with DVD images in full, DVD always looks better. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:::I'll be sure to watch Dillinger (1973) sometime. John Millius is a pretty good director, he seems pretty familiar with firearms too. I'm going to do some studying on Dillinger and Purvis so I know a little more about the two films' accuracy. I'll be seeing [[Public Enemies]] with my friends (it's my 4 day late Birthday party), so it'll suck that I can't talk guns with them, they are all clueless on that stuff. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::::I'll look for that book, I've been looking for something good to read lately. I read up on Dillinger and Purvis and now I'm annoyed that Dillinger's death is such a mystery. I don't know what to believe! And Purvis... I don't know if I should root for him or not since he is shown as both a good guy and a bad guy. One side shows a man who worked hard to bring down public enemies, the other shows a man who gave local authorities little credit and gunned down Dillinger in cold blood. It seems to be a debatable topic, but when it comes to the FBI, what isn't? Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday, I'll be 16 on the 27th. I can finally drive! - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Re:And Then There Were None==
Hey Speak, Not a problem on that one I don't think I have that in my library. I am working on screen caps for The Killing and The Big Heat right now. Thanks for asking. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]] 01:28, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

==What did you think?==
Did you like [[Public Enemies]]? I thought it was great although Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd died after Dillinger (that's creative liscense for you, but hey, it didn't hurt the story). I don't want to edit and get editing conflicts with you so I'll tell you some guns used in the film I saw:

* The Michigan City prison guards fire Winchester 1892 rifles at Dillinger and his men. A citizen hits Dillinger in the shoulder when firing one from a window. It was during the bank robbery that Nelson botched and went crazy on.
* Prison guards at Michigan City prison use M1903A3 rifles (Remingtons I believe), one of which is used to kill one of Dillinger's friends, who he is forced to leave behind. US soldiers use them as well.
* Winchester 1897 shotguns are carried by FBI agents and police. When Billy Frachette is captured by the FBI, one of them is carrying a "Trench" model with a heat shield and bayonet lug.
* Some FBI agents carry Browning A5s (or Remington Model 11s). Some carried sawed off models too.
* US soldiers are seen manning a Browning M1917 Water Cooled machine gun when Dillinger nervously waits at the red light after escaping Crown Point prison in Indiana.
* Dillinger takes a Colt revolver from the Crown Point prison armory, I think it was a Police Positive but I couldn't see it very long. Other Colt revolvers are also hanging on the armory racks.
* The fat FBI agent who charges Dillinger outside the Biograph theater is using what looks like a Colt Official Police. Other people are also seen firing them as well, like during the first jail break in Michigan city (they could have been Police Positives too).

I missed some things I thought maybe you could clear up. Did Purvis fire more rounds than his 1911 could hold when gunning down BF Nelson, because by the time he was done unloading, I forgot to count. I have to hand it to Christian Bale, he didn't blink once when firing that gun. I think Purvis' 1911 may have been a .38 super model. And during the first bank robbery, there is a VERY excellent side shot of an M1921 Thompson. :) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Nah, you didn't ramble. I believe nickel 1911s were available in all calibers at the time and not just .38 Super. BTW, I'm trying to convince my dad to help me build the Dillinger machine pistol (even if it isn't full auto), so if I ever get that done I'll let you know. And like your friends, my friends were very confused as well. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:::Depp appeared to actually field strip the weapon. You see him take apart the upper and lower and then it closes in on his hands as he removes the bolt and springs. He says the gun jammed twice on him because a spring coil was messed up, but I don't think that would affect anything at all. Likely he just needed to clean it. The IMDB thread is very fascinating, but real life kind of sucks when it comes to these events. Dillinger may not have said "Bye-bye Black Bird" as he died, but it was a sad and romantic ending (I mean, he was living with a prostitute and a new girlfriend, did he even give a damn about Billie at that point?), and Purvis may not have met with Dillinger in Tuscon, but it is the classic confrontation seen in Michael Mann films (like Pacino and DeNiro sitting together in the diner in Heat). Now, about the Machine Pistol. I have no idea how I would attach the Thompson foregrip (I'd assume you'd have to drill through the frame to mount it), I assume I could modify a 1911 compensator to look more like the Cutts comp on the pistol, since I don't know how to fit a Cutts comp on a 1911, and no way in HELL will it be in .38 Super. That round is rare and expensive. .45 is the obvious choice, but 9mm fascinates me, I may look into this. And if I still own the gun when I'm older and get a Class III liscense, I'm making it full auto. :) - `~~

== The Illusionist ==

Im not a member here, but big fan of the pages, and noticed the revolver in the Illusionist is identified as a Mle. 1873 Chamelot Delvigne. It very clearly is not, so i went ahead and edited the page in text, but of course, i have no idea what im doing, how to format such edits, or, to the point, what the revolver is. But i can tell you it isnt a Mle 1873, evidenced by its fluted cylinder, barrel profile, blueing, front sight, ejector setup and the stud on the front of the trigger guard. and i didnt want anyone to be confused by it, so i did edit it, with the hope that someone smarter than i would see it and clean it up. If i figure out what it is, ill be sure to let you know.

EDIT: Same annon. After looking, i believe the revolver in question is a later civilian marketed variation of the Hungarian 1876 Gasser-Kropatschek revolver. I cant find the exact variation that is pictured, as there were many of them at the time, but i think the distincive shape and style of the ejection rod, as well as the full octogonal profile and the distinctive stud on the front of the trigger guard make this the most likely candidate, and my material does state that the civilian model did come with fluted cylinders. It isnt a particularily common revolver, it would be interesting to hear why it was chosen, as well as the history of that particular gun, and how the armorer found it.

Here is what little material i was able to find online, though the model pictured is an earlier military model. http://www.sunblest.net/gun/Gass76.htm Hope that is of some help you you.

==Re: Sound Effects==
I don't know any good ones, but for the movie I'm making I'm having a computer whiz rip sound from movies like Heat, since they sound the most realistic. My best guess to help you out is to scour google until all sources are gone. If you find a good one, let ''me'' know, I could use some sound too. Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more help. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==RE:Armorer Pages==
Eh, I don't know. Maybe we could make make a "Armorers of the Industry" page, but seperate pages would be a lot. Since armorers are rarely linked to their own pages (aside from occassional credit link for something such as firearms training, armorers usually don't have film roles). One example is [[Al Vrkljan]], who is a Canadian armorer who has had several cameo roles in movies. He actually joined the forum recently. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:It's not a terrible idea, but it really does depend on their own input. Remember that while Steve and Al didn't mind giving us their real names, not all of the armorers will feel the same way. Some of them prefer anonymity and remaining behind-the-scenes, due to the weapons-unfriendly environment of Hollywood. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

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

Hey, do you think you could get a shot of Lt. Hunter's Python? I ask because remember how it was previously identified as a S&W Model 29? Then it was changed to a Python because he refers to it as .357 Magnum. Well I thought about it, and it could be a S&W Model 28. It's essentially the same as a 29 but in .357 Magnum. Anyway, a picture of it would help to identify it. Even if it's just in the holster, I could identify it by the grips. Thanks! -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 01:20, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, post it on my talk page and I'll check it out. Regarding the Hi-Power, I didn't really notice any difference between it and the 1911. I think it's a 1911 because it's what all other EATer's use (except Hunter of course). I know a lot of times character weapons change between seasons (''[[Miami Vice]]'' is a good example), but that doesn't appear to be the case in HSB. Most characters keep the same weapons. If you come up with a new shot of an EATer using a Hi-Power, then we ought to change it back. But for now, I think it's a 1911, so is it OK if I change it? Regarding the MK IV Series 70, I guess I didn't notice the grips on it. You're probably right, so I'll delete my comment. Thank YOU for creating an HSB page! It's a great show and I'm glad to help. And yes, ''[[Miami Vice]]'' has been pretty busy. It's the biggest page on IMFDB. Would you happen to know what TV show has the most firearms? We currently have 100 and I was curious. I know we just took 2nd place, bypassing ''[[The Unit]]''.-[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 02:36, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

==Se7en Spoilers==
Thanks, I'm being lazy but I'll get Se7en done soon enough. I got woke up early today to dig trees with my dad so I'm kind of tired.

And as for spoilers, I was scouring the net to find those blockers you see on IMDB that disapear when you hover over words to reveal spoilers, but I couldn't find ones for wikipedia. Then I realized I could turn the letters white and voila! I think we could run back and fix some pages with this, but it can only go so far (like on Wanted, you can white out the letters all you want but Cross is clearly dying in the pictures). I'm seeing if anyone on the forum can find something like the spoiler hiders I was looking for, so this is just something I'm trying out. Hopefully it can be perfected and used in the future. I wonder if spoiler blockers could block images too, which would fix that problem as well... - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

Please complete the page being that many of them are deceased. Many of these actors from films in the 1930s-1950s are already passed on. I've been putting in the (DOB-DOD) and added the Category:Deceased Actor (others did it, but now it seems like I'm the only one continuing the discipline of separating living actors from dead ones, and it would help my efforts immensely if others put the date of passing details (please check out the Category of Deceased Actor to see the format). Thanks again. MPM2008 I am passing this note on to other members of IMFDB who put together actor pages for deceased actors so that I don't have to be the only one doing it. :) Great work! BTW

==The Getaway (1972)==
Help. I need your help. I noticed that you did the excellent job of screencapping the Getaway. I got the shotgun that Steve McQueen used in the film. Woohoo!

In the film there is a closeup of the OTHER side of the shotgun (the flip side of the photo I have on the page) in which the viewer can see two small numbers stamped into the receiver. Can you screencap that closeup of the shotgun? I took closeups of the Screen used shotgun's side with the two numbers stamped on it to prove that it is the same gun. thanks so much and I hope you can do it. best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:07, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

==Spy Game==

Hey,

Nice job on ''[[Spy Game]]''. However, there are no [[AKM]] or [[AKMS]] rifles in the movie. The gun you identified as an AKM is actually another AK-47 (if you look closely, you can see the milled receiver), and the guns you IDed as AKMS are actually more [[Norinco Type 56-1]]s (the bottom one especially has a visible hooded front sight). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:48, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

==The Getaway Shotgun==
Hi there. Thanks so much for looking. The Armorer told me some of the history of this gun. Pre-1968 High Standard shotguns (or most non military generic long guns, other than the "major manufacturers") didn't have any serial numbers. Armorers had to stamp their own unique numbers for the purposes of tracking which gun went where. the original on set armorer (and I forgot his name for now) tried stamping the prop houses' unique serial number on the side, but after two strikes (9 --- 8) it was apparent that the side of the receiver was NOT the place to be stamping Serial numbers. It was denting in the receiver, so the full S/N was engraved on the underside (where Mossberg puts their "Model No" on their guns) where it would not dent inwards. You can still see the dents whenever you look at this side of the gun.
[[Image:K1200CloseUp.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aborted serial number stamping on the side of Steve McQueen's gun ..."98". Apparently this indentation is visible on this side of the gun in the movie somewhere]].
Does this help? Kinda cool movie trivia there. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:15, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

==So what should I do with this? ;) ==
[[Image:NickelBauer25.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Nickel plated Bauer 25 Automatic - .25 acp]]
Syd Stembridge has it listed as Toby MaGuire's gun in the movie ''Wonderboys'' with Michael Douglass, but it has been in inventory for decades. We suspect it was in movies in the early 1970s, but to definitely prove it we would have to go through invoice records going back 30 years (that stuff is not computerized, it's filed on paper in large file cabinets). Since they didn't have many of these, I opined that this is a good candidate for a screen used gun, it definitely has been in multiple movies. Hope you like. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 05:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

==Clue gun==
I'm thinking it could be a H&R Model 642 (.32 S&W) in that the front of the revolver seems too large to be a .22 LR? the revolver is pretty much the same gun except different caliber. Thoughts? the side shot is deceptive in that the .22LR and the .32 S&W have the same profile, the only way to tell from a photo is to look at it from the front. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

===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.

They deserve a lot of credit (Stembridge, Cinema Weaponry, The former Ellis Mercantile, ISS, including some actual museums (for the rare old stuff).)

===Screencaps===
Yes, well good thing you said something. I was about to freak out about the number of screencaps (not the quality which was awesome, but serious editing should be painful, the cuts we make should be tough, it proves that everything is well done). I like your methodology, though of putting everything in and then being more decisive with editing when the season was complete. :) It is a GOOD method and ultimately results in a really well constructed page. I was talking with Bunni about that a while a go. He suggested 2, I said that 2 was fine but sometimes you need more, but NOT more than ten, with a preferable limit of 7-8. I am seriously considering locking down the SEVEN shot limit in the rules. How you do TV shows is get the BEST SHOTS of each gun, some of those caps are not as good as others. Don't go over the limit, and then list in the descriptions which episodes featured the gun and which character used it. Since you have so many images, you need to seriously consider cutting it down. It is made WORSE by the fact that the show was shot in 4:3 Full screen (if it were 16:9 widescreen it would not SEEM to take up as much space). With the fact that the images are 4:3 full screen, try to limit the screenshots as much as possible. Fantastic work! I know it sucks to have to edit your images, but we work to serve others and the viewer will notice a section that takes forever to scroll down, than any coolness of having so many screencaps. But you knew that already, sorry if I seem like I'm repeating something that's obvious. I'm tired ..... LOL
===Seasons breakup===
As for seasonal breakups, do it like Miami Vice. Putting all seasons on a page will overburden the single page and cause it to load ridiculously slowly, even on fast connections. It's more work, but it allows you to put more screencaps without looking like a screencap maniac! ;) But you knew that already again. Why am I writing this again? ;)
===Order of appearances===
Actually the order of appearance sometimes diminish the BIGGER and more complex the page becomes. Once the gun list becomes really large, you sort by sections (handgun, submachine gun, shotgun, assault rifle, machine gun, heavy weapons, etc.). Right now, being a 1980s show it seems that it's mostly handguns, shotguns and 'some' rifles & SMGs. If the types of weapons don't expand past a few categories, then doing it by order of appearance is the best way. Hope that helps. It's just my immediate thoughts. I'm typing from a state of exhaustion, been working for four straight days on a gig and I'm going to sleep now ;) best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:47, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I was sixteen and I had never heard of [[Sam Neill]] at the time. Now he's one of my favorite actors. I've always liked the time period covered and I've been a big fan of old firearms and espionage stories for for the same amount of time so the series clicked with me almost immediately.

==Lebel Picture in Flyboys==
Hey, I wanted to point out that you posted a picture in the [[Flyboys]] page of a Lebel firing at the camera. I'm fairly certain it isn't a Lebel. It's nearly impossible to see the gun, so I'm basing this on the fact that the soldier firing it is a German soldier. You can tell by the helmet. This means it is probably a Gewehr 98 with a scope.

Good job on [[The Friends of Eddie Coyle]]. And you're right that was a good movie. Mitchum got better as he got older. That world weary persona and that hangdog look of his were perfect for playing guys who had been around the block and got their teeth kicked in a time or two. I wish [[Farewell My Lovely]] was still out on DVD. Mitchum made that movie in 75, but it went into moratorium in 99. The only thing that I can see is that it looks like the agent is actually using a Remington 870 instead of a Mossberg 500. Friends was actually the movie that made me want to get a S&W Model 27 with the 3.5" barrel. I had to settle for a 4" Model 28 Highway Patrolman, but the search is still going. I am going to make a page for [[Steven Keats]]. We now have him in Friends and [[Black Sunday]]. Guy should have a page. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 04:09, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

==In Cold Blood==
Nice job on the page, but I seriously doubt those are Remington 870s. Even though the 870 existed in the 1950s, those look like a Remington Model 31 in one shot and another shot looks like a Remington Model 10. But I know they are NOT 870s. And I believe the 1897 is actually a Winchester M1912, all of which were more common in the late 1950s when the story is placed. Hope this helps.

:I was wrong. Forgive me. Now that I have photographed a Model 31, I can see by the trigger guard that it is NOT a model 31. Now I don't know what it is. Is there ANY better screenshots of that shotgun? I apologize profusely for fucking up THAT identification! ;) Doh! Hope you like the pics of the shotguns (with the new IMFDB watermark) ;) . Getting good shots of all these various shotguns is really helpful identifying them in films. Thanks and best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:34, 8 May 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.

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

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

==RE: SIG cont.==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Stevens 520/620 Shotgun ==

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

== Stevens 520 ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

But clearly tell why you are banning again. If he does it a fourth time, then permanently ban him. We can't have guys doing obviously stupid things and ignoring the mods.

I just checked the fine print on the side of the gun. It's a Savage/Springfield Model 67, not a Savage/Stevens Model 67. I 'think' the Model 67 is virtually identical save for a few differences (the ribs in the forearm is a wee bit wider). What do you think? Keep it or trash it? The problem is that Stevens also has a Model 77 which looks the same. Arghhh.

==RE: gun discussions==

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

That makes it a little more site relevant than some snapshot of some dude's private property gun in his back yard. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

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

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

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

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

==RE: M1911A1 disclaimer==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

:: Ok, thanks. Hmm, funny coincidence with Tarantino and the 1911. One can't help but wonder if it's a conscious choice... Anyways, back here in Finland, it's like UK or New York for us "gun-nuts". Not a lot of people do ,for example, gun-related sports (well, other than hunting I guess) in here, especially young people. It's a tough nut getting a firearm. And if you are into guns/or have a gun (other than basic hunting rifles/shotguns) people thinks you're nuts :D (I had a point here somewhere, I think...) Anyways, when there's not a lot of people into guns, there ain't a lot of guns either. So if you wanna have a 1911 -type pistol, Norinco is the most easily acquirable, and more importantly, cheap. And I've heard a lot of people bad-mouthing the piece. As for myself, I don't like to judge anything if I haven't tried it myself.

:::: Yeah, we don't got a lot to choose from. I mean when you walk into a gun store in Finland... hmm, I don't think we even have other than a few gun shops in the whole country! Well, when you walk into a gun shop, or a hunting store, you got dozens of shotguns (O/U, pump-action, you name it), hunting rifles (Lot's of Finnish Sakos and Tikkas, then lots of others), and your .22s. I mean every place you go you have dozens of .22s, some basic every-guy-knows-them-guns (92FS, P226, etc.), and only a few others. I mean of course they can get them, but they're more... "special". If you ask for e.g. a Springfield 1911 TRP, they're gonna have to import it from somewhere. I've heard some people get the Norinco, and use it as a basis for something they wanna build.

==RE: AK==

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

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

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

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

It would be nice to split those shows by season, but I've found that both those shows as well as NCIS are pretty much the same each season so there would be a lot of overlap of weapons used. [[24]] was different because each season was pretty much a different story. [[Miami Vice]] had a lot of different weapons each season. Splitting Burn Notice and The Unit would mean having to go back and examine each episode of each season to reexamine which weapons went with each season. In other words, I would vote not to split. (Stargate's another matter). --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:24, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi I was wondering if you could confirm for me what the name of the pistol is.
Is it a M1911A1 or a Beretta 9000?

Sorry I haven't responded sooner. BTW, you're doing an EXCELLENT job as mod. I see you kicking ass and taking names when it comes to banning spammers and keeping error prone 'drive by anonymous members' in check. I'm taking a break from photos for iMFDB. the problem is that members LOVE the pics, but too many members feel that I'm being some sort of jerk in trying to protect the images from piracy by other websites. IP (intellectual property) seems to be a foreign concept to most of the membership on IMFDB. We're legal on the screencaps, I know that much. But I put a ton of work into gun images and recently some of the arguements (on and OFF the forums/discussion pages) have left a bad taste in my mouth. So officially I'm on strike for now. No more pics. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 21:44, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

== RE: Killshot 1911s ==

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

== Re: Killshot ==

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

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

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

:Yeah, I think it's a Hatsan. Also, I don't know if the tube is unsupported; I think it's just that the connector blends with the suit of the agent in the background.

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

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

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

**Well, people seem to be seeing through his rather ridiculous attempts at character assassination on the forums (yeah, I'm a disruptive user, damn me for posting over a hundred screencaps in the last five days while he's never posted a single one ever). It's basically common sense: if the experts say something and a random person on the internet says something else, the experts are going to be the ones in the right. Anyway, I've copy-pasted the POI stuff to MT2008, so we'll see what he makes of it. Any idea why I can't post on the forums? I registered a new account name (Evil Tim) since I can't get a password reminder for "Vangelis," but that says I don't have permission to post. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 09:20, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

==RE: Feast==

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

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

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

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

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

And I'd just like to add that they are not fighting terrorism - you used to be able to enjoy a nice cold beer an a bellydance at a decent hang-out in Baghdad before, now alcohol is banned and the government in Iraq is run by the Ayatollah Islamist scumbags in Iran, with Persians and terrorists crawling out of the woodwork everywhere.

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

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

This guy has done random censors (by using asterisks in the word) on a few pages now and frankly, I've become annoyed. User Evil Tim and myself talked to Ben41 about it but he did it again and I'm now wondering if's he purposely doing it solely to annoy users like myself. The rules state to keep swears to a minimum, not to censor them entirely, and also it relates to user comments and article descriptions, not movie quotes. I could be incorrect but that's simply how I interpret it. I've left him a message on his talk page and Ben's but I wanted to bring this to the attention of other Admins as well, because I'm seriously starting to consider it a problem. I've posted this to you and JCordell so far (in addition to Ben) but I think I'll stop and let you guys go from here.

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

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

Thanks a lot for your comment on how to make redirects, works like crazy! Even though I have only created 3 movie pages, I like this site to be as complete as possible and I'd hate certain guns to be missing from the general overview. Also increases the risk that people create duplicate pages.

By the way, I checked your personal gunpage; WOW! My favourite is the Hi-Power with the Captains' rear sight, awesome! --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 11:39, 28 August 2011 (CDT)

== Nazi Fishwife ==

Hey Predator, thanks for getting rid of Nazi fishwife. I've been watching him for the past week now, and I sent him a message telling him to stop with his language and insults. I was hoping to get a response from him, but by his edits, he was just another troll, and I was probably going to block him eventually myself. Thanks, you do your job well.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 13:29, 4 September 2011 (CDT)

== Deleting a movie page ==

I was hoping you'd be able to tell me how to delete a movie page. Reason is I created a page for [[Leningrad]] but after I created the page, I noticed that the correct title should be [[Leningrad (Attack on)]]. I copied all the coding to a newly created page for the correct title, but the empty page [[Leningrad]] still remains. Thanks if you can spare me a few minutes to let me know how I can correct this, --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 09:16, 5 September 2011 (CDT)

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

I have access to four (4) cut down Ted Williams Model 21 shotguns.

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

== WTF? ==

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

Here you go:

[[Image:ThePunisherTedWilliamsFront.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The best shot of the front of the barrel.]]

That is the clearest shot of the front of the barrel, even though a bit shaky.

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

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

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

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

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

== Spammer + ones to watch ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yeah, I still have the DVD. I just don't know where it is yet, as I just recently moved into a new apartment.

== Weapon Naming Question ==

Hello.

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

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

==Mythbusters==

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

== Top Shot ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== 1911 Gallery ==

Hey man. Thanks for the feedback on the [[1911 Gallery]]. As I have said before, I'm still a newbie with guns so it is always great to get feedback for the more experienced/knowledgeable folk. If you are willing to help me out with the page, it would be great to organize it in a more useful manner. I really like what [[User:--JazzBlackBelt--|--JazzBlackBelt--]] did with the [[SIG-Sauer P220 Pistol Series Gallery]]. I'm going to try too modify the [[1911 Gallery]] so its more like the SIG one. More categories is a definite must. Also a 1 sentence description of identifying marks would also be helpful. Any and all help is, as always, appreciated. :-) I'm in the middle of college final exams so I probably won't do much work on this until the weekend. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 12:24, 22 March 2012 (CDT)

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

*The minigun in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is modified to be futuristic. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]]

:: The Minigun was a lightweight version developed by Dillion Aero with a Titanium Receiver, Rotor, De-Linker and several other parts to reduce the weight. I made the D grip and pistol grip mount to set it up as a hand held weapon. --[[User:Phoenixent|phoenixent]] 19:28, 17 November 2011 (CST)

==Sgt. York==
I see you did Sgt. York, which I'm glad to see because that's a famous movie that the site can boast about owning. I have just a FEW more notes to add about proper page format.

* When listing a gun, you see we usually do it like this:

--M1911-- (substituting equal signs)

Sgt. Alvin York ([[Gary Cooper]]) guns down six German soldiers with his [[M1911]] pistol.

(PICTURE OF GUN|Caption:Colt M1911 - .45 ACP.)

(Screencaps)

What I mean is link all actors and guns to their appropriate pages by putting double brackets over them (that's why we have actor and gun pages, so the movie pages link to them). With guns, some pages have multiple categories, so linking them properly is prefered. Look at the edit to see how I write this: [[M16 rifle series#M16A1 Rifle|M16A1]] Rifle.

Also, instead of writing "An example of said gun used in film", it is prefered you copy and paste what the image cpation says on its page or write it yourself and keep it basic. Like a 1911 picture could say "Colt M1911 - .45 ACP." This way caliber is listed as is the gun's name. (look at some of my newest pages and see what I mean)

But you have the right to make the pages however you want, it is just prefered you try to follow the site's format closely. Thanks. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Thanks, there are still some users on here who are a little... ignorant of these guidlines. Glad to see you're willing to cooperate. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:I'm a little confused what you mean. Can you rephrase that somehow? - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::BTW, I like your fixs to Sgt. York, but you don't need to link the title, just the info inside. And look at the Luger section, it is prefered you write a paragraph above the images instead of inside the images. The captions are usually used as guidlines so the viewer knows what's happening and when in the film. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Re: Mr. & Mrs. Smith 1911==
I'm pretty sure it is not a left handed gun, the image is just flipped (look at the DVD cover in which he holds the gun in his right hand, it appears to be properly flipped).

The webiste didn't have any images I could find so I couldn't compare. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::I checked out that image and I'm not too sure the lefty gun is right.

==Actor Pages==
I don't block actor pages and anyone who does seriously takes too much pride in their work. As if an actor page, which is the easiest to make, is going to be destroyed by someone adding info.

In most cases, we protect pages from anonymous users. We see that the most serious people make a profile if they wish to knowledgabley add to the site. One too many anonymous users gave us garbage and trolled so we got sick of it. It usually isn't a concern but when I make a 40+ page, it is a pain to remove the dumb comments and such in a maze of information. So if we block the anonymous, the serious make profiles and the trolls move on. If they make profiles to continue trolling or saying dumb things, we ban them.

If anyone of the admins. blocks a page for sysop only access that doesn't need it at all, I'll have a talk with them. Only our profiles and rules pages need that protection. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Chamelot Delvigne Model 1873==
You overwrote a net based image of the 1873 gun that I uploaded. Normally this is standard practice, since the replacing shot is much higher quality than the replaced image. I was just wondering. The original shot was of a blued revolver. Your replacing shots is of a revolver that's either 'in the white' or a different finish. Wouldn't it be better to have both images to show the different finishes?[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

==Actor pages==
I noticed you put in a lot of actors pages from classic films which is good since I don't even have those movies that you've listed, but when you're screencapping the movie pages, could you get a good facial recognition screenshot of the actor for placement on the actor's page? Some of the actors I don't know and since I don't have those films I can't put up a decent shot which shows their faces. I usually screengrab a good shot of an actor or actress that is not a gun pic since when we're all doing gun pics, we always focus on whether the gun is clear in the shot, rather than the person. Anyway, that would be really cool if you did that. Thanks again. MPM2008

==Mauser==
I didn't add the Mauser 98 entry. Someone else did it when I was updating the other Mauser pictures (so the history of the page looks like I did it when I was actually updating something else). '''As for my opinion, I'm with you. the Gewehr 98 and the Karabiner 98 should have their own pages since they are classic Mauser and way more famous than all the Mauser variants. ''' I am going to remove the entry and put it as a footnote or a note in the summary. this page is for all of the 'forgotten' Mausers and also a guide to identifying them when we see them. Don't know if you noticed, but if you click on the image and click again, you'll see the picture at 1200 pixels wide. These are probably the biggest images of these Mauser variants on the web and can help non-Mauser experts see the details (I'm NOT a Mauser expert) but I will try to get pristine images of each variant that is listed on the page. best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

== Machine Pistol Category? ==

I just saw you created a category for Machine Pistols, isn't that a bit redundant? I mean, don't machine pistols fall into the Submachine Gun category? I know it's a bit controversial in some gases (such as the [[Glock#Glock 18|Glock 18]] for example), but it just seems a bit unnessicary to me.

Okay, I had no clue what I was writing when I did that, I was a total amateur when I added those pics. I have plans to add screencaps to that page at some point, Rafa was a little non-thorough.

==XM16E1==
I just saw the picture you uploaded of the XM16E1. Did you take that picture yourself profesionally like MPM does or did you just edit it together with MPM's pics. Either way it looks great. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:I don't think he'll mind TOO much as long as editing his pictures doesn't become a new fad among users. IMO the little things make a movie and it is a shame when people fail to notice these things. I'm not very good with helicopters but that's pretty impressive that you guys got real Hueys. I own WWS on VHS, and I might just have to watch it again now. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

::That's a really nice picture of a LaFrance M16K. I was actually looking for one myself, but Google didn't give me what I wanted. I believe Jackie Chan also used one in ''[[Police Story 3: Supercop]]'', so I'll add it to that page. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:08, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

::BTW, speaking of ''[[We Were Soldiers]]'', I remember Mike did an interview where he said that CW actually manufactured the AK-47s used by the NVA in the movie.

==XM16E1 Photo==
Thanks! for the note on the XM16E1. It was appreciated. Well I am back from a pretty tough assignment (14 hour days and nothing but grief) Actually I didn't know who did what on the franken guns. I was not really paying attention for months to the m16 page and only concentrated on the AP74 22 clones at the bottom. I didn't even know that some guy (Kin93) out of Hong Kong had made so many franken guns out of my pics. But after a really BAD week (which I will go into on a general note later) I scanned up on the M16 page and saw literally a bunch of Franken M16 pics. It wasn't so bad, in just it was just the topper of a really bad week (where someone in the real world took a custom shotgun I built, replaced the buttstock, and then showed it off to various art directors as a gun 'HE' built even though I did 99.99% of the work). So it was kinda just the straw that bent (not broke! :) ) the Camel's back for that time. I KNEW I had to take a break, and I sure felt better when I put a stop to the 'picture requests'. like a weight was taken off my back. (Also I was getting a little TOO wound up over the wave of new anonymous/newbie users whose gun knowledge is only airsoft/Video Games making wrong edits on all the pages. It was bound to happen and is the risk we all take on an open wiki page. Anyway THANKS for the note. If you don't mind, I will try to build up a gun (I have a chromed bolt carrier somewhere) and actually do the pic. I am now motivated to photograph real versions of the Franken guns, also so that we (IMFDB) don't get accused of 'creating virtual/fictional weapons' on the Internet.) Hope you've been doing well. best regards MPM

==LaFrance Specialties M16K Question==
Hi Steve, I'm screencapping [[Dead Pool, The|The Dead Pool]] right now and one of the assassin's trying to kill Dirty Harry is wielding an AR-15 pistol which I'm pretty is a LaFrance Specialties M16K, except it has a forward assist, unlike the picture you took, which is a slab-side:
[[Image:LaFranceM16K223.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]

Are there versions of the gun that have an A1-style reviever with a forward assist or can you steer me towards what it would be with an A1-reciever? Here's an image I just made:

[[Image:DH5LFSM16K-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The assassin attempting to reload his AR-15 pistol before being killed by Callahan ([[Clint Eastwood]]).]]

==Collateral==
Hi Steve, I have a quick question for you. On the ''[[Collateral]]'' page, [[User:MT2008|Matt]] said that the Jericho 941 in the film was the only gun we see used by the club security guard, I'm assuming because he discussed it with you? Anyway, the gun clearly has a different slide design and trigger guard, so I don't think it is a Jericho. Do you have any information on the matter? - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Thanks, but no need to hurry over it. Whenever you can find the paper work is fine, I'm patient. BTW, I had so much free time I got FOUR movies ready to upload. They are:

If it weren't for all the modern movie pages people made with FULL screen DVDs.... sigh... that would be interesting. Also quite a few films were shown wide screen, but only released full screen (some of the lower B movies from the 1990s for example, including movies that I myself worked on). How would we reconcile the tag "released in widescreen" when we can only get FULL screen "Screenshots" for the movie page. best regards and a Happy Easter [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:12, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

==AMT==
Fascinating :) I don't profess to be an expert on the AMT. That pistol I photographed is my own gun from blank adapted inventory (which is usually the case with 85% of my gun pics) and I looked at the gun in my hand from several angles, and that screenshot sure looks darker than possible with just lighting. I wonder if the propmasters on set 'subdued' the finish some how with black paint. I know of some people personally who have subdued their Stainless guns because of personal preference. Anyway, I always welcome insider information like that :) the pistol I have is a BACK II, don't know what the Back up I or previous variation is like. :) If you have access to a good historical summary I would love to see it on the Backup gun page :) thanks and best regards. MPM

PS. It's funny. I have a lot of these guns but I don't catch the tell all details that enable someone to Identify it. Only when someone IDs the gun I pull it out of the vault and look at it from different angles (which is really helpful) and sure enough, it's THAT gun (something I should have known but didn't notice). Anyway, for any other page as well, feel free to pipe in when my eyes misidentify a gun! :)

Thanks for all the help with weapons IDs! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:28, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

:I have a question about ''[[Man on Fire]]''. There's something weird about the Glock 34 used by Denzel. Here's a screenshot taken from Legion's Fate's blog:

:http://s259.photobucket.com/albums/hh284/CTone03/Guns%20in%20movies/Man%20on%20Fire/?action=view&current=Glock34IGen.jpg

:http://fateoflegions.blogspot.com/2008/11/movie-guns-xxviii.html

:You can see that in this shot, the Glock has a Gen 2-style frame, but in the shots which appear on [[Man on Fire|our page]], it has a Gen 3 frame with accessory rails. And Legion's Fate himself also notes that the barrel of this Glock is not ported, which it should be. Plus, I'm not sure the Glock 34 was ever available with the Gen 2 frame (as best I know, it was introduced after the Gen 3 styling had been introduced), so was one Glock 34 a custom job that CW did for the movie, while the other was a standard factory weapon? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:36, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I just finished the first two seasons tonight and I'll try and do the rest of the show during the next week or so, so feel free to make any more adjustments you see as you'd be the expert.

==Old movies==
For the record, I must say I am delighted that you have become the 'custodian' or 'gate keeper' of classic B&W war and noir crime/gangster films. I don't particularly watch these films myself, so I would never have contributed them, but they ARE an important part of film (and guns in movie) history, and I am happy that you are adding so much rich movie history to IMFDB. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:31, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
:I agree with MPM all the way on this, I think your collection of such classic movies is very impressive and great for imfdb! You're very good at identifying the firearms (even if the film's resolution isn't that great, which can really hinder me when I try and work with older films). I noticed you were able to help out on some of my pages like ''[[White Heat]]'', but I know there were a few weapons in ''[[Little Caesar]]'', ''[[The Public Enemy]]'', and ''[[Scarface (1932)]]'' that I was having trouble with. If you'd ever be able to check those out, I'd greatly appreciate it! I have some other older B&W films I'll be putting on soon (once finals week is over) so you can always feel free to check them out and make any adjustments (I trust your word over mine, I'm certainly no expert!)

Yes, I knew about that. I track Nikki Finke and also get the L.A. Weekly, they seem to have a real pulse on the issue. What I Don't like is how they estimate all of the lost $$ because of the 'lack of signing' of the contract, but the idiots in the press only count ACTOR'S WAGES, not everyone else's! So all of the caterers, art designers, costumers, grips, carpenters, couriers, lighting designers, camera crews, and of course, the rental houses like GUNS or the all important, Armorer ;) ... our lost income isn't counted. If they did, the cost would be immeasureably higher. I love how all of the rest of us in the industry are INVISIBLE. Anyway, Rant OFF ;) MPM2008

==CDS==

Hi! Thanks for that new Colt Detective Special 3rd Gen picture. Perhaps I can get your opinion on something that's piqued my curiosity...

John and I did some work on a page for the movie ''[[Hard Boiled]]'', but we weren't sure what kind of snub-nose revolvers are used by the CID undercover inspectors in the movie. We IDed them as Taurus Model 85s, but do you think they're actually CDS 3rd Gens, like the one you pictured?

Here are John's screencaps:

== Taurus Model 66 in Pulp Fiction ==

I noticed that on the ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' page, you said that the "hand cannon" used was a [[Taurus Model 66]].

:Thanks; I noticed all the Thin Man pages, they look great! Also, I was curious if the other Pulp Fiction guns were correct, I had basically the same labels as were on before but someone on the page was wondering the MAC-10 was a MAC-11 and the revolver I have labeled as a Smith & Wesson Model 36 appears to be a hammerless model.

I just got some DVDs with a good number of old 1940s/1950s noirs so I can make some pages for those. Also, if you have a chance, could you check the image of Tony's armory (the 2nd photo under the Thompson entry) to see if there's anything you could identify? I hate to ask but you're much better at those than I am. Thanks and keep up the good work! [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 02:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

==Appaloosa==
I finally got Appaloosa, I just watched it (great film) and am going to start screencapping now. I was very impressed by the 8 Gauge, excellent work. In the special features, they talk about it but never credit you as the designer :(. Anyway, I'll be sure to give you the credit you deserve when I revamp the page. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:Thanks, I'll try to get the screencaps done too. BTW, was it just me, or did they keep the original gun shot sounds used during filming for the final cut? Usually you hear the standard issue gunfire sound effects but there was something different about this. The guns didn't have the echo like in ''[[Heat]]'' though. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Hey Steve, I got Appaloosa done yesterday, so if you have time do you think you could check it over and make sure I got everything right? Thanks, looking forward to the 8 Gauge photos. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==7.7mm Arisaka Type 02 Paratrooper Takedown rifle==
I actually had one in original configuration when I was 18 years old. It was a gift along with a bunch of other Imperial Japanese firearms. Some FFL told me that the gun was worthless and offered to take it off my hands for $150.00. Being a stupid teenager I sold the rifle. I also sold this same 'expert' my 7.7 dedicated Arisaka sniper rifle with Nikon late war scope (with chrysanthemum). I guess that was a bitter lesson early in life... :) On Dirty Harry, it's hard to ID the weapon (now since I don't have mine any more) from the sportization. I do have some Sporterized Type 99 rifles rechambered for 30.06. I was buying them up for almost nothing, at gun shows during the 1980s when I needed background generic hunting rifles.

== Re: Scarface (1932) ==

Thank you very much for the help there. I made an entry for the page using the rundown you gave me (giving credit where it is due, of course) rather than making a new entry for each gun and posting the same picture several times throughout the page. I recall trying to get a good shot of Cesca's rifle but I don't believe I was able to get one. I'll try again now, as I'm determined to make the page a little more organized and complete-looking once we can get her rifle identified and Guarino's revolver. His shouldn't be too difficult, but I'm unable to clearly see the sights, cylinder release, etc. to identify it. I'll pop the DVD back in soon to see if I can get better images of either gun. - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 06:59, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

==Re: Joe Kidd==
The Lighning and Thunderer are my weak points. I'd assume the Cimmaron Bird's Head could go on the SAA page, but adding things like Uberti replicas is usually only necessary when we don't have anything better, and MPM uploaded genuine Colts. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Calico M100==
I'm confused here. why would I remove my image of the standard configuration and replace it with a customized version? The standard configuration appears in films, so actually removing my pic and replacing it doesn't make sense to me. If you mean substituting the custom gun for movie pages where it is actually used? Well that's what we want to do anyway. But don't replace MY pic of the original configuration gun.

''[Edit] You mentioned M100. Are you talking about the M100 rifle? or did you actually mean the M110 Pistol (which is NOT my pic and is a crappy google jacked image). :)''

As for the RU page, I don't see anything out of the ordinary on the page (I think that russian based page is starting to get funky when it comes to viruses, because my security software is starting to go haywire when I go there).

''[Edit} Is it the M110 pistol on the Guns RU page? I have managed to clip save that image, but I wanted to make sure we were talking about the same image.''

Thanks, Also which films did these custom m100s appear in? Also are they still available for photos? :) Thanks again. MPM

Hey, Steve, I noticed you were talking to MPM about the La France-converted Calico pistols. I think they appeared in the TV show "Homeboys in Outer Space" - do you remember if Ellis supplied the weapons for that show?

thanks for the update. Now I understand. I am really looking forward to seeing if this appeared in anything. It looks pretty cool like that. I will also contact you more, but now I'm off to deal with an emergency. :) regards MPM2008

==RE:==

Ah, OK, thanks. I actually wasn't 100% sure, but in the screenshots from "Standoff", the receiver looked somewhat FN MAG-ish to me. But I see what you mean...I didn't think they'd turn an M60 upside-down!

Thanks for the correction on that rocket launcher, too. I wasn't sure what it was. Also, do you by chance have any idea what those Unknown SMGs are? The ''[[Smallville#Unknown SMG|Smallville]]'' page has better pictures of them. I've been trying to find out what they are for a long time, and I can't tell. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 23:59, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

:Thanks, although they might be pretty hard to find. MPM2008 was unable to ID them; he thinks they might be something manufactured in Canada that was never imported to this country (''[[Viper]]'' and ''[[Smallville]]'' were both filmed in Canada). Given their relatively crude appearance, I wouldn't be surprised if they were actually something homemade by the shows' armorer. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

:Steve,

:I like it! I think it works much better than the way we do things now. Dunno how the other admins feel, but I imagine they'll agree with me that it makes the pages look way more organized. The center one (with title, actor, character, and date) is probably the best way to go. The only thing I'm not sure about is dates, only because we've heretofore neglected to put them down, but I guess we can try it. If not, might be best to just have title, actor, and character for now. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:47, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

:::NP on the topic. I would like to do it, but the only thing is, it will take us a long time to get all of the thousands of gun pages on this site (many with multiple weapons, like the 1911 and M16 pages) re-formatted this way. Should be start with the most popular gun pages ([[http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Special:PopularPages]]) and then work our way down the list? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:18, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I can grab a shot of it when I have time. I figured we don't usually document tranq. guns but I see on Legions of Fate's site he has it documented. I've seen the model tranq gun IDed on other pages on IMFDB so I guess tranq. guns are okay now. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

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

== Re: Three Days of the Condor ==

==Re: Wilkinson Arms Linda Pistol==

Yeah, I think it would be great if we had some good pics. A Google image search turns up relatively poor-quality pictures of both the carbine and pistol, so we would have bragging rights for only good pics of those guns on the 'Net. Haha...anyway, I guess it would best to group them together, since that's what we usually do with weapons that are the same basic design (i.e. SP89 and HK94 both go on MP5 page).

And wow...you really seem to know a lot of the manufacturers personally. I'm always amazed at how well-connected you are. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:13, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

:Oh, wow, you really built those? My contact at ISS sent me the pictures of the guns and mentioned to me that they were under-used. He also told me that Sgt.

I don't know if you check your private messages anymore, but I was still wondering about hooking up for pics. It would be awesome to get some of your beautiful custom stuff! :D I sure wish you could hook me up with Galotti to get pics of his stuff! ;) hahaha. I still haven't wandered back to CW because of work and family issues. I'm lining up a shoot that I'm sure GM45 will love.... one of the biggest private collections of original Western guns (i.e. not replicas but original 1st gen western revolvers and long guns in pristine condition, not the beaters we have in rental inventory hahahaha ;) ) west of the Mississippi. They are being yanked out from behind museum glass cases for the shoot for IMFDB. That's pretty exciting. I am trying just for classic examples of original historical guns. Anyway, feel free to PM me when you get a chance to try to re-schedule something. Thanks MPM2008

==OK, I need your help==

I've been watching some movies which allegedly feature the FN Minimi/M249 Paratrooper, and realized the guns in question may be a different LMG. If you want examples of what I mean, check these out.

Here's an M249 Para model taken by MPM:

[[Image:M249ParaWAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|400px|]]

...and here are some movies/TV shows which allegedly feature this gun:

[[Image:3000miles minimi-1.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|''[[3000 Miles to Graceland]]'']]

[[Image:AD-Minimi-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|''[[American Dragons]]'']]

[[Image:SGSAW2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|''[[Stargate: SG1]]'']]

[[Image:SGASAW2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|''[[Stargate: Atlantis]]'']]

[[Image:WTLMG-4.jpg|thumb|600px|none|''[[Walking Tall]]'']]

In all of these movies, the guns look almost like Minimi variants, but something's not right about the receivers and front sights on them. Which leads me to suspect they may not be M249s or Minimi variants at all, but rather something else. What do you think? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:50, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

:Aha! I should have known. Also, it seems Ron Blecker or members of his team were the armorers and military advisers on all of these shows, so that's the common denominator. Well, when I get back, I think I had better make a page for the Daewoo K3, using the new format.

:Speaking of which, I think the "Note" column is a good idea, though maybe we should make it a little wider? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

::Wow, so far, I have found almost a dozen movie/TV pages where we mis-IDed Daewoo K3s as Minimis. -[[User:MT2008|Matt]]

:One other question...should we continue to italicize the titles of the movies/TV shows/games, exactly as we did in the old format? Also, I'm working on the Daewoo K3 page now. If you can help me out with info, it would be appreciated. For instance, do you remember who was the U.S./Canadian importer for the K3? Was it the same company that imported the K1 and K2 in both civvie and LEO versions? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:15, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

::I guess I'm just pretty surprised because I figured the M249 would be the cheaper gun to acquire, seeing as it's manufactured on these shores. Why were the K3s cheaper? Were the M249s just not being offered for anyone besides the military at the time? I would love to write a better summary on the Daewoo K3 page explaining why they're used as M249 stand-ins, but since I'm not an armorer, I'm scared I might get details wrong.

::If you don't mind taking a picture of one of the vismodded K3s, that would really be awesome. I'm going to have to look more closely, but I have a feeling we may have mis-IDed the K3s on several more pages (''[[Swordfish]]'', for instance).

== Template ==

Hey Phoenixent, I want to say great work on the template you created, it makes pages look better and neater. I complimented MPM2008 on it, but he said you orginally created it, so I came here. Also, awesome work on all the pages you created so far, it's great to have another armorer on the site.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 22:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

==Templates==
I think the templates are looking pretty good, although they stretch all the way across the screen when not next to an image, which may cause problems for people with small screens (they would have to scroll sideways, which can be a pain). I don't know if this can be fixed but if it can I'm throwing it out there. Just wondering, is there anyway to put lines in between each entry, so the films are seperated by columns? I figure if the entries are in a more chart like organization it will be easier to see what lines up with what. If not it's no big deal but I was just wondering. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

I think the templates are coming out great as well, I like the way it is on the [[Steyr AUG]], were the years are listed earliest at the top and most recent at the bottom. I also want to know if lines can be put between entries to seperate them more.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 04:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

==Template==
Thanks for the note. To the mods: Though my own preference is strongly towards chronological order, I can accede to the wishes of the majority. I do like the format of Title First, before actor. Please note all, in the [[Steyr AUG]] page that the title, then character, then actor template, dovetails nicely into the other genres (television) but also Anime and Video games. Since there is no Character in some and no Actor in Anime or Videgame, I think this order maintains the same look from Film all the way down to VG. Thanks and please look at the page to see what I was referring to. Thanks again. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

==More on Templates==

Hi, Steve,

I think the way you did the [1911]] page (and thanks for taking time and doing that, BTW) is pretty much perfect and should be the standard. There are only two suggestions I'd make:

(1.) I think we should probably put the Title before actor, as MPM suggested, just because that seems to make a bit more sense. When we were doing the standard bullet point list, it made more sense to say "<actor> as <character> in <title>", but as a straightforward table, I think it would make more sense to go with title first. I imagine that's what most people's eyes are drawn to, anyway, but maybe that's just me.

(2.) Chronological order should probably be the most recent films first, and then work our way backwards. That way, any time a new film comes out with a particular gun, it'll be near the top of the list, since it seems like many visitors come to our site to look for guns in current movies (as evidenced by the disproportionately high number of views on our pages for last summer's blockbusters like ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' and ''[[Wanted]]'', both of which got tens of thousands of hits when those films were in theaters).

I have one other question: Have we figured out how we're going to handle situations where multiple actors handled the same gun (or same type of gun) in a particular movie or TV show? Do we list each actor on a separate line? That's the one and only issue with the tables that I think we need to figure out. I'm not really sure what to do about this myself. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 04:50, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
::After looking at the test templates, I really like the one with each bit of information in its own box. It makes it easier to read across without mixing things up. Thanks for figuring that out, I'm starting to like this template stuff now. You may have noticed I've been applying it to the actor pages I've made recently, although I might go back and try it with columns now. BTW, when everyone agrees on the final product of this template stuff, please make sure the [[Test Template Page]] is cleaned up and user friendly so I know exactly which template to use for Actor and Gun pages. It is kind of trial and error currently because the page is also a discussion page so its hard to find what I need. Sorry if I'm adding more work to do but you seem to know how this stuff works better than I do (I'm still trying to memorize all of the simple code stuff so I don't need to constantly copy and paste). - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:::Hey Steve, check out the [[Daniel Roebuck]] page to see the box-style format in use. I like it! - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:It's not bad but I still kind of like the boxes personally because everything is both vertically and horizontally seperated, where as the newest one only horizontally seperates the entries. But of course we'll have to hear what everyone else thinks before a final decision is made. My vote goes for the boxes :) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Sorry for the late response Steve, I just got back from a four-day trip to LA. I really like the new template and my vote is for chronological order as well.

== Just a note ==

The way I was doing it was placing the TOC call straight after the poster image; that avoids shunting the introductory text down below the table, and means you get a good intro where the '''Following guns are used:''' heading is right above the table of contents that lists them all. [[User:Dongs|Dongs]] 02:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

What I did for [[Crysis]], [[Far Cry]] and [[King Kong (2005)]] was to put the title image below the text. I've edited the link you gave me, take a look now: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=A_Slight_Case_of_Murder&oldid=136910

Now, this isn't perfect for ''that'' article because it has a long lead-in with a small pic, and it might be ok to just put the TOC after the text with the picture at the start; I don't think there'll be issues with the picture being larger than the intro as with some articles. It's mainly for ones like Kong where the poster was shoving the table off the bottom of the page when it first loaded up. [[User:Dongs|Dongs]] 02:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

==The Wilkinson Arms carbines/pistols==

Nice! Those really are the best pictures of the guns anyone's put on the 'Net, anywhere. Off the top of your head, do you recall any other movies/TV shows they've appeared in? It seems to be a pretty rare weapon. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:00, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I just got two caps from an old 1945 B&W called ''[[And Then There Were None]]''.

Steve,

Thanks so much for finding that info for me, and pictures would definitely be much appreciated if you can find the K3s that were mocked up as M249 Paras. I did my own crude version of this gun using MS Paint, but obviously, the real deal would be preferable.

Also, how do you feel about changing the Template a little bit more so that TV Show and Episode are separate categories? Or do you think we should keep it as-is? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 12:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

==Public Enemies==
Hi Steve, after watching Public Enemies and doing some work to the page, I was hoping you could answer some questions on the guns in the movie, since I see you took pictures of some of the screen used props.

* Were Johnny Depps M1911A1 pistols in the film chambered in .38 Super? Or any character's 1911 for that matter?

* The page lists the M1928A1 Thompson being in the film. I never saw it in the configuration shown on the page, were they mocked up as 1921s by adding foregrips? Also, I never saw a 1903 Hammer Colt, where was that used?

* Do you know any of the revolvers used in the movie? I couldn't ID them in the theater and can't remember them well.

* The .38 Machine Pistol. I gotta know more about this thing. Who built it, was it actually in .38 Super, all that stuff would be awesome.

So if you have any info, please let me know. Thanks. :) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Thanks, the information was ''very'' useful. So you're saying the Thompsons in the film are 1928s not 1921s? Or was it a mix of both? Because I saw some firing drastically slower than others, which led me to believe both were used. And I would have assumed they would have used 9mm 1911s to represent .38 Super 1911s, but I guess they only did that for the Machine Pistol. Anyway, thanks a ton, this will definately help the page out. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:::I mis-read your Thompson post, I get it now ;) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:::Yeah, we'll have to wait for the DVD for better IDs. I saw tons of revolvers in the Crown Point jail armory, but I couldn't ID any of them . I did ID one Colt Official Police used by the FBI agent who charges Dillinger outside the theater. And that was a Colt 1928 machine gun? I thought it was a 1917 water cooled Browning. Hrrm. BTW, do you know if the 03A3 rifles were Springfields or Remingtons? Same goes for the Browning A5/Remington 11s in the film, what were they? Thanks. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

Does anyone know who suplied the Thompsons for the movie? I really want that laynard attachment but don't know where to get it.

==Test Template Page==
Recently I completed formatting the [[FN Minimi]],[[FN FiveseveN]].The G36 article is almost complete with the exception of the G36K section.Hope to complete the Glock and MP5 article soon for which I may need your help too.I also agree with MT2008 that there should be a seperate column for episodes in the television section.-[[User:SB2296|SB2296]]

:Actually, I'm beginning to think maybe I shouldn't have made my suggestion about the Television column, because the problem is that when guns appear on shows, they tend to appear on MANY episodes, not just one. In which case, the only thing the column will say is, "Various episodes" or something to that extent. I think a better idea is to just briefly mention episodes and other details (such as how the character uses the gun - i.e. "Standard sidearm of ______") in the "Notes" column.

:Also, I am trying to get the [[M16]] page updated to the new format (which is going to take a LONG time, as you can imagine). Hope to get it done this holiday. At some point, I also want to work on the [[Beretta 92 pistol series]] page. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 15:15, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

==The Shadow==
I'm watching ''[[Shadow, The|The Shadow]]'' on TV right now, and I gotta say, those "Silver Heat" pistols are very cool. I also read your interview from the page, and I like the insite you gave. After watching the scene on the bridge, I think it's pretty funny how the drum flew off the guy's Thompson. And Alec Baldwin's problem with the safeties was an interesting fact too (you could see he kind of let the pistol's noses hang when he was shooting them). Anyway, nice work, sometimes I forget I'm talking to a guy who in my opinion, is very famous. :) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::Cool, can't wait to see. And were you wearing ear protection, or were they just so loud you could tell even with ears on? Aside from the Grizzlies, I saw your Thompson (1921, 1928, or custom?), a Colt DS, and a Remington Rolling Block cavalary pistol. Also both the bad guy and Baldwin fired guns at each other where the bullets hit head on, what were those pistols? I didn't see the end so I may have missed some stuff but I think I might pick that movie up now. It was kind of cool. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
:::Awesome, thanks. I thought the snubbie was a Colt DS but I guess not. Anyway, I'm trying to get Tightrope, but the only place I can get it is best buy and I can't go there till monday. One last thing, do you think I could use the box-column format on one of the bigger gun pages so people can see how that looks? Because I still really like the box-column style, but I'm not so hot on the non-box style being used on the other pages. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== Armorer page idea ==

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

==1911 adaptation==
As a film armorer and fan of older movies I was hopeing you could answer a question I had on blank-adapted automatics in older films. In alot of older movies I have seen automatic pistols are pointed and waved around but most actual shooting is done with revolvers. I read years ago about how 1911 pistols could not be adapted to cycle blanks untill fairly recently, but how well did other automatics handle blanks in the 1920's-40's era films. Also, if you could tell me when exactly the process for altering 1911 pistols was developed it would be greatly appreciated.

==Follow up==
Thank you for your responce to my question concerning blank adaption for 1911 pistols. I quick follow up question on a similar subject occured to recently. Many old WWI movies from the early 1920's feature large numbers of Maxim machine guns and other early recoil operated weapons. Being as many of these guns were the first self-loading designs developed, thus the first guns requiring modification for blanks, how did early armorers approach and solve these issues. Where these early machine easy to modify for blank fire or did they simply fire live rounds on camera as you described. Also, just out of curiosity, when they fired live rounds on screen in early movies did they use standard or special, low-powered ammunition. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

==Transformers 3==
Interesting that the production company actually made an 'official' facebook page and uploaded all those Behind the Scenes shots. Should we excise IMFDB of the pics when supposedly the pics have been released through a social networking site? Just curious. Now I've had BTS shots that I did not approve of me working on stuff end up on social networking sites but those were of crew who were snapping their own pics which should not have been allowed. But these really do look like officially released pics, so I can't really slam a member for forwarding them. :) Good to see you around the site. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]
::Okay. I was SNOOKERED. Apparently this member LIAM who is [[User:moviemaster1993|moviemaster1993]] is a fanboy who created the facebook page himself, even though the page says the "OFFICIAL" transformers 3 facebook page, thus falsely implying that it is sanctioned by the studio. NOT being a sanctioned facebook page, immediately makes it suspect in my eyes and I vote for deletion, but since you are working on it, I trust YOUR judgment on the matter. You said that since it is still in production, that it should not be listed. The only reason why I did not ban it immediately was because I thought it was an officially sanctioned page. It is not. But I await your call on this. You can delete it, or any one of the rest of us MODS can delete it, but I hope to hear your opinion before we do. "No Harm done?" or "delete" ?

Thanks Steve, but I've only updated the HK416 and the M4s on that page so far, but I plan to revamp the whole page entirely with better screenshots soon and fill in missing guns. If there are any more obscure guns from the film I may need your help to ID them. Like aside from the T-600 DA Miniguns, I saw what looked like a GE Minigun on the tanker truck front, and another Minigun that was mounted on a resistance chopper had a unique muzzle break I'm not familiar with. Also, I saw a refugee woman with an unknown compact 1911 pistol, and I can't ID the AA guns on the back of the tanker. If you know any of those let me know if you can. Thank you. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==1911's in films==
I sent this comment to MT2008 and MPM about adding this disclaimer to the [[M1911A1]] section.

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

Matt made a comment about also stating a lot of them probably being chambered or converted to 9mm for better reliability. When did that practice stop (or is it still done) and .45s became more reliable? From what I could tell it wasn't until the mid or late 80s. At least that's what I could get from looking over this auction list [http://www.originalprop.com/blog/2008/06/21/little-johns-auction-service-june-2007-event-catalog-the-world-famous-]. (Magnum P.I. and Blues Brothers had 9mm Series 70s, while late 80s and early 90s Seagal films had .45 Series 70s.) What was the most common Colt 1911 variant in Stembridge's inventory before other manufacturers started producing them, surplus M1911A1's or Series 70/80? Where there a lot of factory 9mm Series 70s or converted .45s to 9mm? --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 23:13, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

:Dang I'm going to have to add a lot more info to the disclaimer. Thanks for the info. The Post War/Pre Series 70 Government Models were only available in .45 and 38 Super, not in 9mm, correct? It wasn't until the Series 70 did I remember seeing them in 9mm. It was available in the Commander. There could be 9mm conversion barrels easy enough. But I'm not sure about parts in that era. I figure most likely Star Model B for most extended firing scenes in that era. Like [[The Wild Bunch]] & [[The Getaway (1972)]]. Now before they were taken down, the full auto 1911 used in [[Public Enemies]] looked like it was Post War/Pre Series 70 Government (the pic was the ejection port side, which didn't have the caliber listed which is usually seen on the Pre War Commercials, making it a Post War). It was chambered in 9mm, which means it was originally in .38 Super, before it was converted, unless they have better luck converting .45 to 9mm these days. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 01:53, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
::Yeah when you told me about converting 38 Supers to 9mm blanks it made think of the gun in Public Enemies. Just glad it was a Post War instead of a Pre War, that would have been heartbreaking to me. I wish those screen used guns could get put back up.:( In Cobra you can see 9mm Conversion Unit on the slide (the tapered barrel is a giveaway too). I hardly ever see Series 70 or 80 9mm come up for sale, so that makes sense about Stembridge getting a bunch of 9mm Government Models from Colt. In that auction list there were several 9mm Series 80 Models that weren't even listed as being converted to blanks. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 04:48, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
::[[Image:Cobragoldcup.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]

They made Colt National Match in 38 Super? I remember seeing a Super Match 38 Super, but those are pricey. I have seen National Match in .38 Special mid range, which you had to fire wadcutters. (They were made before the Mark IV series, if I remember right) But if they made a 9mm Conversion, a 38 Super would be easy enough also since the slides would be the same. S&W Highway Patrolman's are Model 28s only right? We got Clint's gun listed as a Model 19 in [[A Perfect World]]. Looking at the screencaps it seems a bit large. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 20:04, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
[[Image:SUPERMATCH1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]
[[Image:SUPERMATCH2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]
Wow that's crazy, you said it came from Mexico. Maybe they had special export run, since they aren't allowed .45 ACP in Mexico. With the Model 28's that seems crazy they didn't see much use. Maybe they had script changes or scenes that were deleted. The Glock 19's marked 23, are there some productions that are that anal about having to have a .40 Glock?

Also is it okay to use that summary you wrote about the 1911 blanks use with some rewording? I would send it to you to make sure you're okay with the changes.

I know you have got to be tired of my questions but I'm going to ask anyway. (Since you actually answer mine.) Why are some revolvers converted to blanks only? I know on some that had the cylinders bored to fire more common blanks that sense. But on some it seems like a gun was ruined for no reason. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 18:14, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
:A history on the armories of the past sounds like a great idea, it would be a worthwhile feature here. Original Prop has a few articles from old magazines on Stembridge.

==HK45 predators==

Hello,

Could you tell me how you got the compensator mounted flush to the slide of the HK 45 in Predators?

Was it a fully funtional prop?

::The compensator was built so it could use the threads in the barrel that are for the BFA. I machined the comp to blend with the slide per customers request. The weapon is a fully functioning blank operated pistol was were the other blank pistols with comps used on the film. I have photos of the comps prior to installation but I will not be posting those as they are for my personal use. --[[User:Phoenixent|phoenixent]] 14:05, 16 March 2011 (CDT)

Thank you, so you basically slipped the compensator over a threaded barrel and used a “nut” to secure the compensator in place (attaching the nut from the front of the compensator).--[[User:Sauerkret|Sauerkret]] 14:25, 18 March 2011 (CDT)
:: That's is correct but the setup is different on a blank pistol due to the internal thread for the BFA so we could not thread the outside for a nut so we made a barrel extension using the the internal threads of the BFA. --[[User:Phoenixent|phoenixent]] 15:24, 20 March 2011 (CDT)

== Kampfpistole (Z) ==

Hi there, sorry to bother but could I ask your assistance in renaming the '''Kampfpistole Z''' page to just '''Kampfpistole''' (without the 'Z')? Reason is that I just read an article about this gun in a Dutch gun magazine (yes, we have those too!). In there it says that the gun was simply the already existing flare pistol Modell 1934 (German: 'Leuchtpistole 1934') that had grooves added from 1943 onwards for more accurate delivery of explosive charges.

This version went by two names; most common one was '''Kampfpistole''' (German: 'battle pistol'). However, alternatively it was also referred to as '''Leuchtpistole Z''' (German: 'flare pistol Z') with the 'Z' referring to 'Züge' which is the German word for 'grooves', to differentiate from the basic flare pistol Modell 1934 that had no grooves. I know this can be fixed with the 'Move' button but to be honest I am not confident to use that function. Can you assist please?

*I just added alot of Images of real weapons from the gun pages. I'm trying to use them as both examples of the real weapons and as Placeholders until we can get some more Screenshots in. [[User:Rockwolf66|Rockwolf66]] 04:33, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

==Re: U.S. Marshals Screenshot Needed==

Yeah, I think I can do that. However, right now, I'm still not back at my apartment, and my DVDs and my external hard drive (where I keep my downloaded movies) are over there. It may be another day or two before I get back.

Also, do you think you'll change the guns on the ''[[Men in Black]]'' page? Like I said in the message below this, they're not real SIG P225s; they're just fake SIG look-a-like flashbulb guns.

:OK, how do you like these?

:I had trouble finding any good ones of him with the PT945. There's one that might be OK from the swamp scene, but I only have a poor quality AVI rip of the film, and it's hard to see his face or the shape of the gun. Maybe if someone who has the actual DVD takes the shot, it'll look better. Judge for yourself:

:[[Image:Vlcsnap-245106.jpg|thumb|none|800px]]

==Men in Black==

Nice job on the new ''[[Men in Black]]'' article! BUT, as usual, I must point out one correction. You identify the guns used in the shooting gallery scene as SIG P225s. However, if you look closely, you'll see that they actually aren't shaped quite like real 225s. You might also notice when you watch the film that when the guns are fired, the slides don't move at all. That's because they're actually the "non gun" SIG flashbulb-firing replicas made by International Studio Services. Here is a picture of one:

[[Image:SIGnon-gun.jpg|thumb|none|800px|]]

Got it from here: http://weaponspecialists.com/insiteTemplate.php?includeWhat=propView&id=107&category=&primaryCategory=sub&refID=24&cf=bpic

Also, LMO has a picture of the actual Redhawk revolver used in the film, if you want to use that.

==Lord of War==

I dunno, I've been re-doing a lot of pages I've worked on to make the screenshots bigger (including ''[[The Siege]]'' and ''[[The Negotiator]]''), because I figured they were small enough that fitting them on the page in their original size would be better than shrinking them. Does it really look that bad when I do them in full-size? I can't tell because I can only judge by my laptop screen, where they appear too small.

:No, I agree that posting full-size shots is a bad idea when they're so huge, but the ones I take are usually pretty low-res and small, because they often come from AVI rips of DVDs, and because my capture software only takes low res (a trade-off for being able to hit a key and snap a shot instantly, I guess). Some of them are so small that it's hard to even tell what a particular gun is without clicking, and I figured people would prefer to be able to just scan the page quickly and correctly discern the weapon's make and model.

==Duplicate RPD page==
If it's okay I will delete the duplicate [[RPD Light Machine gun]] page you created on June 7th. I created the previous one on June 28th, 2008. [[UserId#MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

I've been trying to get higher rez original pics to IMFDB for a little bit now. One of the major beefs I have with site like Security arms.org or Guns of the world.ru is that there are some really crappy pics, and lots of those pics are weird hybrid variations that are not good representations of the mainstream version of the firearm. Though I've had some nice comments from a few folks, I need to verify that it's kosher to try to eliminate the bad resolution 'stolen from the net' pics and replace them with original photographs. (granted permission by me the copyright holder) Don't know if I am stepping on anyone's toes or if anyone would be offended that I replaced their image (which was 'borrowed' from the net originally) with another image. If anyone thinks I should NOT be replacing pics on existing pages with new gun images, please let me know. Do the majority of IMFDB users even care? I'm fully expecting '''other sites''' to start stealing images from IMFDB when the level of pics goes up. :) hahahaha. Thanks for your comments at any rate> :)

== Re: Incredible Hulk Grenade Launchers ==

You might be right, but the Milkor M32 has the tubular new-style M4 collapsible stock (plus, isn't the furniture usually painted in desert tan?) The ones in the movie have fixed stocks that bear a lot more resemblance to the DefTech 37mm launcher I posted. It looks to me like they might be DefTech launchers that were visually modified (given different front ends) to resemble the M32 because the armorers couldn't get ahold of actual M32s.

But I really am not sure; I'm not at all an expert on grenade launchers.

== No Problem...==

Hi,

Always happy to help out. The screencap of the SPAS-12 in "Future's End" I posted on your ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' page is actually from a YouTube video, but I figured it would be decent quality for now. I couldn't get a good shot of either the M16s/AR15s or the Beretta, though (I can't even tell for sure that it is a Beretta and not a Taurus PT92).

Also, maybe you can help me with ''[[The Siege]]'' - do you remember where the Browning M2 and M203 appear? I checked the stadium scene and I really can't see the M203 anywhere...it might just be because I have a pretty crappy AVI rip of the movie, so the quality makes it hard to tell.

:OK, I finally did manage to find the M203. I'll get a screencap of that, plus the grenade used in the chop-shop. I'm also trying to get good shots of the Colt 9mm SMGs used by the special ops guys who capture the Sheik in the beginning, and the Glocks carried by the N.Y.P.D. officers.

:As far as the Browning M2 goes...I may be wrong, but I think that's actually a Mark-19 automatic grenade launcher on the top of the APC. It's hard to tell, but the barrel looks a bit too short and a bit too thick to be an M2, so Mark-19 would be my next guess.

::All right, I'll take your word for it because I'm having a great deal of trouble being sure myself.

== Sid Vicious? ==

Hahaha, dude... Sid Vicious is a pro wrestler (according to a google search). The villain from Cowboy Bebop is simply just "Vicious". I used to be a big CB fan.

== Detonics 1911/ ICQ / .223 vs. 5.56mm chamberings ==

Working on getting you a Detonics 1911 (A1 variant denotes a curved Mainspring housing, slightly larger controls and in this case I cannot tell if a detonics is an "A1" variant or not. It could also be a Series 70 or 80 mod; I'll find out more). I mostly work on Springfield Armory, IMBEL, Kimber or Colt variants. But, here is what I found:

Check these sights on the Detonics line of 1911's out, they should help,

http://securityarms.com/20010315/galleryfiles/0900/903.htm

http://www.handgunsmag.com/featured_handguns/master_121305/

When you get a chance, also check your ICQ, I added it to the list and sent an authorization request.

All Ruger Mini-14's are chambered in ".223 Rem" (as exactly etched on the receivers. I have a Police-turn-in GB and can take a Screenshot if you need me to). There is a difference (look up SAAMI or Mil-Spec. 5.56mm is slightly larger. They both use the exact same casing dimensions, though the 5.56mm brass casings are usually more regularly annealed and tempered. 5.56mm are also a bit "hotter", which is where the military comes in. .223 was developed by Remington Peters, and adapted by the Military (who uses metric now) as the 5.56mm. If a rifle has "5.56mm" stamped on it, rest-assured it can fire either 5.56mm or .223 rem without a problem (so long as the ammo is quality). If a rifle has ".223 Rem" stamped on it, usually you can only use .223, as the hotter pressures created by the 5.56mm and slightly different bullet profile (not cartridge, just bullet) can cause problems. The Ruger Mini-14, however, is a moot point, as even though it is marked ".223 Rem." on the receivers, it can fire both 5.56mm and .223 rem without issue, as Ruger has cut its Mini-14 Chambers in a unique "universal"-cut chamber that is designed to fire either military or commercial cartridges.

Here is a good example of the slight difference:

http://www.ammo-oracle.com/images/556cham.gif

Check

for more info on the subtle variances between the two chamberings.

--Kyro

== Subtleties of AK Variants ==

The only reliable means of telling a AKMSU and an AKSU-74 (AKA AKS-74U) apart are to look at the curve rate of its 30rd magazine; to look at comparative bore-diameter (usually not possible from screenshots), or to see the cartridges it is firing up close (definately not possible from a screenshot, and also movies generally use star-crimped blanks and blank-adapted firearms).

In the instance of A Man Apart, you have an AK Carbine of some type, where a "Krinkov" type handguard is present (Black), and a waffle-pattern magazine with a 7.62x39 signature curve in it (It could be Bulgarian, East German or U.S.A. ProMag in manufacture). AK furniture, for the most part, is interchangeable. A pistol-grip from an AKM will work on an AK-74 and vica-versa; same with handguards, FCG's, butt-stocks, etc... Some muzzle-breaks are the same style too (not necc. bore dia. or thread-pattern), as seen in that "Krinkov" style AK Carbine. I've even seen AK-74 styled Muzzle-breaks on AKM's and AK-103's, so it's not unique to 74's.

The only REAL difference between the functional aspects of an AKM and AK-74 are the bolt-faces, magazines and bore/chambers. Most of the rest of the functional aspects are nearly identical, or identical (enough to be swapped). With some variance in bakelite furniture and certain muzzle-breaks and/or flash-hiders, they are functionally the same firearm, simply chambered in two different cartridges.

Point being, with simple tools and some know-how, ANYONE can modify an AK to their liking. The only real way to tell on screen, at least with an AK is the curve of the magazine. Slightly-Curved Magazine = AK-74 in 5.45x39mm or a SAR-3 equivalent (*.223/5.56mm Variant AK from Romania; Bulgaria also makes an SLR-106 type in .223/5.56mm AK Variants. The .223 AK variants use the 5.45x39 mags with a swapped-out follower to accept the cartridge profile of .223 Rem)... Deep-curved Magazine = AK-47, AKM, in 7.62x39.

And I wouldn't even call it an "incident", rather just an example of clashing info on a firearm. A Man Apart wasn't THAT great of a movie anwway (I'd give it 7 out of 10). I don't think it'd be worth my time to keep things accurate to just have my contributions deleted. By all means, if my formatting is not clean or the layout desireable, correct away; this is NOT my site. But I will not post ANYTHING on database sights like this unless I was certain my info was certifiably correct. I do make mistakes though, and if anyone believes I am mistaken, I wish to be called out on it.

I don't want to sound effete, but I have lots of experience building Romanian GP-75's from de-milled parts (Romanian National Guard AKM's chopped up and shipped to the U.S.), and have fired many different builds from different country kits (Polish, Hungarian, Yugoslavian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Russian/Siaga, Egyptian/Maadi, Chinese/Norinco). I have also built a few Hybrid-Stag/Bushy/RRA AR's and Metric FALs (Mostly IMBEL) in my day. Not to mention several other projects with 1911's.

And It wasn't that big of a deal dude, I was just trying to dileniate the extreme variety inherent in Kalashnikov variants. The only way to tell for certain is to handle it up close, but there are "Easy tells" on screen that give away a firearm's identity. I just don't like getting into pissing matches over who's right; no one wins in a pissing match. It was late and I just gave up changing or adding anymore to "A Man Apart" anyway. My PC was pissing me off and the screen-shot function on my DVD player was not working so well (look at the M4 Screenshot from the movie; some weird graphical glitches going on). I think my GC may be over-heating.

Either way, I'm going to have to let someone else finish it. I may pop in from time to time and add things here and there, and offer any wisdom that I may bring to bear; should it be needed. I don't know everything. I know a good deal, but still have tons to learn, so hopefully I can still learn stuff by checking in here and there.

== Nice ==

Orca, nice catch on the Colt 9mm Submachine Gun - I'd never seen it before and assumed it was a 9mm AR-15. Do you know if the Colt 9mm SMG is actually fielded or if it's just used as a trainer? Thanks for all your recent additions to the site. [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 06:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks. ==

Hey Orca, I just wanted to say thanks for putting the rest of the weapons up on the War of The Worlds page. I got pictures of all, but two of them, but I don't worry, I'll try to get them later.

== Thanks ==

Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to get Tim Robbins' shotgun too. And thanks again for your help.

== WoTW is done. ==

Hey Orca, I got the rest of those shots, be sure to tell me if I got the right ones. And thanks again for the help.

== Sorry ==

Sorry about that, I uploaded a new image of it, tell me if I got it.

== Splitting M16 and Beretta 92 up ==

Someone suggested splitting up the Beretta 92 page into its variants, when I started the site there really wasn't enough content to do so but it might make sense now to do so for both the Beretta 92 and the M16 series - what do you think? [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 22:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

:I'll leave it up to you then, when and if you think the 93R is ready for its own page feel free to do it. I'm going to come through this weekend and do some quality control work on all the new pages, get the formatting uniform again. [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 22:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem, I'm not going to let my favorite pistol's page be a mess, plus quite a few of the pages on this site need to cleaned up. And sorry that I deleted the # on the links, I didn't know what they were for.

No relation to the article, honestly I've never seen it - was it very complete? If you have some connections at Wikipedia an admin can provide you with a copy of a deleted article - that could be a treasure trove of new articles for us. The Wikipedia links I was creating to the imfdb on the gun and movie pages were just recently all tagged as link spamming and removed so my account is worthless on Wikipedia at the moment. Also, I think it was Alienqueen that suggested we create some admins to help block users vandalising the wiki - I'm all for that, you and alienqueen are the only ones I'd trust with admin status though.

Uh, just a note. The image you uploaded in Sep 07 "SGside2.jpg‎" is NOT of the WA-2000. It is a photograph of the SG-2000 (Shuster gewehr) Custom .22 target rifle made by Ironwood Designs in San Jose, California. I know. I was the photographer who shot the image and copyright belongs to me and to Ironwood Designs, Inc. Thanks. I would not mind so much but it's of the wrong firearm. - '''MoviePropMaster2008'''

==re: image==
Thanks for the reply. I will be trying to take a pic of the real WA-2000 in the future. Right now I'm trying to get back to the warehouse and pull out some more stuff to take pics of. I know there are some high resolution pics already out there, but I'm probably going to try to take some pics of some PKMs, RPD, DPMs, MAG-58s, FN MK 48, plus some more of the Russian RPG variations. I also have access to every variation of the M60, though I know there are tons of AIRSOFT pics out there, I figured that people wanted to see high resolution pics of the real stuff. I usually just pull stuff out of my own personal inventory but I got two friends who are Title one and two/Plus Destructive Device manufacturers who can get samples of lots of original stuff. Since so many guns have crappy low resolution pics (on sites like Security arms or guns of the world) my holy grail is to get high resolution pics of the RARE stuff or the newer exotic foreign stuff and post them HERE. :) Also, since I've worked on some of these movies or know the guys who have, I will try to fix some of the 'errors' or 'myths' about the productions. There are a LOT of 'Franken-guns' out there, done in the 1970s and 1980s when access to foreign full auto guns was sketchy so special effects guys tried to 'imitate' certain models of guns with slapped-on aluminum or plastic outer housings. Also there are the fictional guns, like the ones for movies like 'Total Recall' or 'Spawn' (where Melinda Clarke used M-11s dummied up to resemble P90s! hahahaha.)
I'll try to get pics of THOSE guns as well. :) Thanks and best regards. '''MoviePropMaster2008'''

==Your Glock Request==
:''Hey, I was wondering if you could possibly provide an image of a 2nd-Generation Glock 23 for the article on The Fugitive, since the image for that weapon on the page is of a 3rd-Generation model with accessory rails on the frame as opposed to the smooth-framed 2nd-Generation model seen in the screenshots? I already edited the Glock 22 section similarly for that article and the sequel U.S. Marshals, and was wondering if you could help me out with that one image so I don't have to chase down an image on Google. Thanks in advance. ''

:Sorry I misread that and posted the 3rd generation new pics. Sorry they are of no use to you. Will try but these models are far rarer in 2nd gen than the other models like the 17 and 19.

::Orca, just an FYI: There is no such thing as a "3rd Generation" Glock 22 or Glock 23. Only the Glock 17 and Glock 18 were ever made in three versions, the earliest "1st Generation" being the one without the checkered front and backstraps. For any of the other Glock models, from the 19 on up, "1st Generation" means the standard non-railed/checked front and backstraps, while "2nd Generation" means railed frame, finger grooves, and thumb reliefs. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] (posting from work)

==Kill Point==

NP on posting screencaps. I dunno about DVD, but these episodes were purchased from iTunes. I only have 4 episodes, but fortunately, they're all those that are particularly gun-intensive, so I should be able to get just about all of the guns on this page, and even a couple you missed (like the Ruger P94 used by one of the 10-13 guys during the subway shootout).

Also, just an FYI: The carbines used by SWAT in firing scenes aren't M653s. You'll see soon when I get some new screencaps of them (there are some GREAT ones from the last episode), but they have 16" barrels and no forward assist. It's far more likely that they're old (1970s-era) AR-15 Sporter carbines. All of the assault rifles on this show are civilian models, which is probably because the budget was so low. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 17:52, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

==Non Guns==

Just so you know, the MGC M16s didn't belong on the "Non Gun" page. "Non Guns" are a special type of flashbulb firing replica made by International Studio Services, whereas the MGC M16s are something else. The "Non Guns" page isn't a page made for fake guns in movies; it was made specifically for this particular brand of flashbulb (or "flashpaper" guns, as GunMaster often calls them in his articles) weapons. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Someone has to draw the line. This guy Don whatever. He just posted a NEW flash animation on this site. What the hell? I've see the pics or trash that resembles pictures of guns and he thinks those are what they are? Is he high or some punk kid that thinks it's so cool that it deserves to be on this site. Sift Head and that other flash animation thing, Taegukgi. Those are pardon my language, pieces of shit that are NOT worthy of this place that some of us hold with respect. Yeah, they seem entertaining, but if we decide to let something this slide, then whose to stop from putting other flash animations that have "drawings" of guns on them because "Oh they have guns, so therefore they should be on this site".

==Bond Category==
I think it should just contain the actors who played Bond, not people in Bond movies like Bond girls and Bond villians. Maybe sub-categories for Bond Girls and Bond Villians could be made seperate, but personally I think all this sub-category stuff is kind of pointless. What is so hard about finding a page that it needs to be moved from its normal category of Movies, Guns, and Actors into sub-categories like Comedy Movie, Rifle, and Actor Male, Actor Female, Actor Bond? IMO it is unecessary. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
::though I dislike adding even ANOTHER layer of categories, GM's suggestion about Bond girls and villains makes the most sense. The Bond Actor should be for the lead actor only. The real issue is "does anyone sort by these categories?" I really don't know if they are useful or not. If they are useful for someone to do a 'search' then they have a purpose, I guess. MPM2008

I think I may have mentally confused DH 2-3-4 with LW2-3-4. I have to double check that. I made over 30 images updates last night, new P9S, New Model 19 from Lethal Weapon, I replaced the old images on the AMT longslide and AMT 5", New Para Ordnance P14, New Kimber TLE II, Added the Beretta 92S and 92SB, added a remington 1100 tactical, replaced the S&W 586, added the screen used S&W 3913 from Demolition Man, added the early S&W 5904, etc. When I have that much stuff, I might get some stuff mixed up.

==Re: Transformers==

Orca,

I'm not sure about the 1911 from ''[[Transformers]]'', but I don't think it's an XSE if it has no cocking serrations in front. My guess is that it's probably built on a Colt Mark IV Series 80 or something else from that generation. Keep in mind that there are lots of custom 1911s in films which may be built from several components. It's hard to know what any of them might be for sure, unless we could ask Rock Galotti (the armorer who worked on the movie). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I have a question for you. Why are you removing the dates of production?

Hi,

Pheonixent asked me to fix the Carl Gustaf M/45 page. He said that it was incorrectly labeled "Carl Gustaf m/45" (with a lowercase "m"). However, what's weird is that for me, it doesn't look that way, even though it seems to be that way for him. I took a screenshot to show him that there doesn't seem to be an error, and then posted it in a PM I sent him on the IMFDB forum.

==re: In The Army Now==

That movie was actually on TV not too long ago (can't remember channel), but I remember the M16s as having the wrong receiver style for A2s. Also, keep in mind that in the 1990s, the M16A2 was harder for movie armorers to acquire than it is today. That's why it's common for them to use older M16 variants (like the A1) fitted with A2 hand guards to simulate the newer rifle.

==Actors pages==
Just so you know, I was updating a lot of the actors pages with images of their faces, not just shots of them with guns. It was a personal choice, I know, but alot of the actor pages didn't even have decent screenshots. Since the actor page is for that actor, I tend to put more '''flattering''' shots of them for recognition purposes and then put another shot of them with a firearm. There is no rule for or against this, but I just wanted to let you know. A lot of the users create actor pages with NO images, so I've been updating them. The Female actors, I actually try to put up pics that don't make them look hideous. :) MPM2008
P.S.: I did Alex Reid, Jurgen Prochnow, Mira Sorvino, and Rachel Weisz where I focus more on them than the screengrab with a gun since most of the screen grabs focus more on the gun than the actor (rightfully so for the gun or movie page).

==Re:Machine Pistol Category? ==
Actually Machine Pistol is the correct classification on these as the are made from pistols. The Sub Machine Gun designation by manufacturers and by ATF is a weapon that is carbine size but fires a pistol cartridge. The Machine Pistol is a pistol that is is developed in selective fire. That term has been around before ATF dates back to the First World War but had a different meaning. Machine Pistol back then meant Machine Gun Pistol Cartridge. I just figured that it should be correct on the site. Thanks - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

==M4 vs. M4A1==
I always thought the M4-series had a detachable carry handle, meaning both the M4 and M4A1. Perhaps you are right. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

:Only the very earliest M4s delivered to the military had fixed carry handles. After that, both the M4 and M4A1 were only bought with detachable carry handles. The earliest M4s with the M16A2-style receivers were listed in the catalog as the Model 777 carbine and fired semi or burst. The first M4s with the flattop receivers were known as Model 920s, and they also fired semi or burst. So basically, the DoD bought a small shipment of Model 777 carbines initially and then switched to buying the Model 920, but they designated both guns as the "M4", even though they had different receiver styles. Also, the M4A1's catalog model number is Model 921, and differs from the Model 920 only in that it fires semi or full-auto. You have to understand that sometimes the military adopts slightly different versions of a particular gun, but gives them all the same designation. It also happened with the M249 (some of the earliest "M249s" in military service were actually standard factory FN Minimis, which are a bit different in design). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:51, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

==The Marine AK==
On The Marine page I had the AKs listed as Poly Tech Legends but you changed them to Type 56s. I was under the impression 56s had stamped recievers like an AKM, while PTL had milled recievers like older AKs, which is what the guns in the film had. Am I wrong? - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

==Beretta M9==

I notice you uploaded a Beretta M9 picture and changed many movie pages to feature this picture. However, the problem is that there are almost no real M9s in movies. As best I know, armorers always use the civilian 92F to substitute for the M9, even in movies where they're in the hands of U.S. soldiers. So I doubt you've ever seen a real M9 in a movie. There's a difference between what a particular army/police force uses in real life and the actual prop gun used in the movie.

==KF7 Soviet==

It'll fire a single shot in aim mode and it's stuck in three-round burst only when not sighting [so, um, it's a special AK with the fire selector as a pressure switch on the back of the stock, I guess?]. The reason I identified it as an AK-47 is that's what the developers said it was back when they were using real gun names; see http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/goldeneye/images/7/76/Kalashnikov_AK47.png for proof of this; similarly, the AR33 was called "Commando M16A/2" in the Beta version. I'm not sure how you can call the rocket launcher a specific RPG-7 derivative since I don't know many versions that are enormous grey cylinders, that's why I went with the generic 'RPG-7' label.

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.

== Candian Gun Laws ==

In response to your question on my profile, yes, Canadians are allowed to privately own firearms. You require a Possession and Acquistion Liscence (PAL) for firearms, for which you have to take a safety course and submit to a background check. All firearms except antiques have to be registered, and there are some fairly lenient storage requirements. There are 3 classes of firearm - non-restricted, restricted and prohibited.

Non restricted basically covers any manually operated long gun, and hunting semi-autos. Restricted is basically non-concealable handguns (anything with a barrel over 4") and a very short list of semi-auto rifle (AR-15s, mainly) - these require an Authorization To Transport when you want to take them outside your house - usually you just phone in and they fax you one, takes 5 minutes.

There are 6 classes of prohibited firearms, basically full autos, converted autos, a specific list which basically covers almost any semi-auto versions of full auto guns, and concealable pistols. You can't get a liscense for prohibited firearms, but those who had them before the current laws came in in 1995 can continue owning them.

I don't necessarily like our laws, but I live with them. Some of ours are better than in the US, with regards to shipping and import / export.

Hey, I noticed that on the ''[[Light It Up]]'' page, you changed the page link to [[Glock 17]] under the entry.

==Courage Under Fire - FN Minimi==

It's unlikely that the SAW used by Lou Diamond Phillips in ''[[Courage Under Fire]]'' is a Canadian C9; I think it's just a very early-model FN Minimi. As best I know, the first production Minimis from the 1970s had the open front sight (if you check World Guns, you'll see they have a picture of a Minimi which has this style sight), but FN later switched to the hooded front sight. For whatever reason, the C9 retains the earlier style sight, but this is not necessarily a distinguishing characteristic. Also, this movie was filmed in the U.S. and the guns used were provided by an American armory, so they're more likely to be genuine FN weapons. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:47, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad you picked the box-column page template, since I think that looks the best.

Also, we've been modifying the redirects on page links now, so instead of writing '''<nowiki>[[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Inox|Beretta 92FS Inox]</nowiki>''', which takes a long time, you can just write '''<nowiki>[[Beretta 92FS Inox]]</nowiki>''', which saves time.

::For the record, if an actor page has a picture of the actor but the actor hasn't used any guns, that doesn't mean the page doesn't need to be made.

I think the one you used is the old version; the current standard seems to have the middle fields in the videogame table as 'Referred as' and 'mods' (some also have a "notes" field, I'm not sure what's standard) rather than 'mods' and 'passwords,' since it was determined the 'passwords' field is largely useless.

== Why are you putting mines in the gun category? ==

It seems a little odd to find 'Category:Gun' at the bottom of a page about a landmine. If we're going to have a super-category for all weapons, shouldn't it be 'Category: Weapon'? [[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 11:41, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

:Hm. I'll have a look into how Wiki categories work sometime and see if it can be fixed so the supergroup is 'Weapon' rather than 'Gun' without editing every single page individually, though it'd need someone to modify the sidebar to point to that category rather than 'gun.' Still, worth looking into. [[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 11:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

==Need Help with the S.W.A.T. 4 page==

Hi,

I'm in need of your help again, this time with the S.W.A.T. 4 page. There's quite a few weapons I can't identify the exact model of, such as the Colt DMR (it may be an accurized AR-15 model of some sort), the exact model of the Colt M1911 pistol (it has an odd-looking hammer and an underbarrel mounting for a flashlight), the flashbang/tear gas/sting grenades, and the exact model of the ingame MP5 (no MP5 variant I know of has only semiautomatic and three-round burst fire modes). The model of the breaching shotgun also eludes me, as does the two-shot "Cobra" taser ingame. If you can confirm the identities of the weapons already with screenshots or help find out the real identities of those still unknown, I'd be grateful.--[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 06:42, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

==RE: Model 733==

:I asked MPM why he didn't just upload over that old picture, and he said it's because the Model 715 (which is what he photographed) and the C7 (which is what the old picture represents) are two different guns, but I disagreed with him. I'm with you...I think we should just ditch the old one and use his instead. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:53, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
::IN response to MT2008, it's the PURIST in me :) LOL. Since the older pic is MARKED Colt Canada C7, then it's a true C7 in my eyes. My photo was of an american Colt Rifle which was essentially the same rifle, but not marked C7 or Canada in any way. I suppose it's really nit picking, but the file name said "Diemcao C7" and I didn't want a rifle which was technically NOT a Diemaco C7 identified (via the file name) to be called a C7. Hope that helps. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:26, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

==733==
I don't believe that I made that change. The only change I made was the (a) new photo and (b) removed the notation that the existing photo was a chopped Sporter Carbine made to resemble a 733 for movie purposes. That's it. Any other informational change was made by someone else. As for the A1 versus A2 upper statement, there are photographic examples of both A1 & A2 uppers on the 733, but the only production photos I've found (or examples) have the A1 (with brass deflector upper) like in the movie [[Heat]]. Colt did make bastardized guns with the same model number. Also gunsmiths and title II manufacturers have installed the 733 barrels on A2 uppers to retrofit registered full auto guns, so real life franken guns are all over the place. The Colt records I have found are also Contradictory. One matrix of production models notes specifically that the 733 was made with A1 rear sights and a brass deflector. Another production list notes that the 733 had A2 rear sights. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:22, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

==HK33==
The full auto HK33 only came with two choices for mags, the 25 rounder and the 40 rounder. All examples of the HK33 in foreign police armories and Title II collectors have one or the other. I've seen 30 round magazines for the 5.56 round in the early 1980s and this was sold with the semi auto only HK93, but HK has no official documentation on when they started or stopped making it. So far, all the full auto HK33s I've seen have only the 25 or 40, but the 30 did (and does exist, I photographed one for IMFDB) but a lot of the foreign machine gun owners look at it and scratch their heads, so it must have been a U.S. Semi auto civilian sales only item. But this is conjecture. I am obviously eager to be 'corrected' by an expert on the matter. I wish a rep from HK would visit the site from time to time (but then, they think we suck and they hate us ;) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:48, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

== Goldeneye locked ==

While I'd agree with the reasoning behind locking it, you've still left it with almost all of the additional information removed. To get it back to how it was before Burt decided he should delete absolutely everything: 1. Click [http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=GoldenEye_007&oldid=407133 this link]. 2.Hit "Edit." 3. Hit "Save Page." This restores the notes on the other weapons he got rid of. I've noticed a couple of admins use the "undo edit" button multiple times instead of reverting; if you want to revert back to a particular version of a page before lots of bad edits, just go to the page's history, then click on the blue link for the date and time of the revision you want to go back to. This brings up the old revision. Hit "Edit" and the edit screen will come up, with a note saying "Warning: You are editing an out-of-date revision of this page. If you save it, any changes made since this revision will be lost." Click "save page" to return it to that revision and undo all edits in between. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 05:13, 12 April 2011 (CDT)

The reason I made those changes was because I was given the go ahead by both MT2008 and MoviePropMaster2008 to edit out unnecessary editorialization from the video game pages. Putting up gameplay tips, personal opinions, and unsourced speculation don't add anything to the overall effort of identification and makes the wiki look unprofessional. Whether or not this is official policy yet, I don't know, though MPM did say he was going to make it so. It's been discussed in the forums and the consensus is that it's a good idea. http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=1621 --[[User:BurtReynoldsMoustache|BurtReynoldsMoustache]] 12:18, 12 April 2011 (CDT)

== Re: Call of Duty World at War ==

According to the rules page, the rule forbidding listing larger weapons only applies to setting up gun pages for them, rather than to listing them on individual pages. In addition, the B-4 technically ''does'' qualify under the rules given for a gun page (it was used in the direct fire role, and the footage in-game is of Soviet troops doing just that during the Battle of Berlin). The same rule says "Feel free to identify ANY military weapons system that you can verify," and really given the idea of IMFDB is to inform people, it makes sense to inform them of everything we can ID. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 07:45, 5 May 2011 (CDT)

*Well, during the discussion on that subject in the forums ([http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=1398 link]) MPM said he ''does'' list artillery weapons when he makes pages ("note that I do identify artillery pieces on their own movie pages") while bunni said it was fine listing artillery ("I'm basically of the same opinion. I think it's fine to mention the indirect fire weapons on page, and point out interesting trivia about them specifically, but I don't think they warrant their own page"). Apparently the issue is with them having gun pages, not with listing them on individual pages if you can ID them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 08:10, 5 May 2011 (CDT)

**Yeah, I'd rather not go that far; I only listed the B4 there because it's shown being used as a direct fire weapon rather than as an artillery piece (same as I listed the M65 atomic cannon / W9 artillery shell on Homefront because the latter is a modified antiaircraft gun direct-firing at a target less than 55 inches directly in front of the chamber). I don't have any intention of adding the various tank guns and larger weapons to the page, just that one as a trivia note. It apparently wouldn't be strictly against the rules to list them, but it just doesn't sit right with me, much as it doesn't sit right with you. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 08:32, 5 May 2011 (CDT)

Just as an addition to this; I've added a couple of IDs for howitzers recently. While I think you're right about vehicle guns (as long as the vehicle itself is ID'd, anyone curious can look up what guns it has, so there's no need for a seperate entry; you can also ID them in captions anyway) I think field guns and other "just a gun" mountings are still worth identifying if the person making the page knows what they are or wants someone to take a look. It took me a bit of work to figure out what kind of gun those "Russian" howitzers in Bad Company were (which turns out to be because they're actually Swedish) and it's not like there's ever going to be an Internet Movie Artillery Database.

:Also, I now have a pro-quality capture device and I should have a copy of the new Ace Combat arriving in the next few days (along with a new PC :D), so I'll get some non-demo screenshots up on that page as soon as I can. If there's a lot of planes I'll go with one per series like we said before (so one F-16, one F-15, etc). I'll get to the PS2 games afterward, I haven't forgotten. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 12:06, 13 October 2011 (CDT)

== Ace Combat ==

I know these pages have been sitting around basically without images for a long time, and I've got them on my To Do list; just wondering if you had any thoughts on what aircraft I should choose for the various aircraft guns. The way I'm thinking of doing it is playing the missions and then recording and screencapping the replays, that way I should be able to get more interesting shots without trying to fly in third person for a whole mission. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 03:01, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

:Yeah, I can only do the PS2 games myself (don't have a 360), and barring montages made in photoshop where it's too small to see any given aircraft it'd probably be hard to do every aircraft; then again, since a lot of them are variants one of each type would probably be doable without having a huge number of caps. Plus there's CIWS on carriers and battleships and suchlike, like that closeup shot of the Big Evil Cruiser in ''5'' or the extremely sickly Iowa in ''4'' that goes down from a single Sidewinder. I do have every plane unlocked in ''5'' (and my god it took forever), so I could probably cap some of the variant aircraft while ID'ing ground vehicle weapons, since some of those would qualify like AA guns. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 04:28, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

::I'm tempted to get the big flak guns in a couple of missions (Tango Line in ''4'' comes to mind) because I'm fairly sure they're German 88s, and I've heard MPM say before that real 88s have appeared on film since some European armourers and re-enactors have them; I'd have to check them up close first to see if they were or I'm just remembering them wrong. As for screenshots, it's easy to get something like that because I record video and then capture from it rather than getting screencaps (my capture program crashes if I take a screenshot and BSODs if I take more than one), so "action" shots are pretty easy. I'd just have to record the actual gameplay of Powder Keg rather than just the replay. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 04:55, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

== Just a quick question ==

Hi there. I'm thinking of creating a "Tactical Shooter" category, you know for games like Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Operation Flashpoint,... What do you think, would that be a good idea or should I forget about it? Thanks in advance! - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 04:14, 12 July 2011 (CDT)
* Well, you are right. I thought we could add that category to games where you can switch ROF, command teammates, games that track the +1 round in the chamber, feature a realistic reload animations and health system,... somethings like that. And how about instead of creating the category we could just note these features on the actual games' pages, as it is on the [[GRAW]] page for example. Guess that's what I'm gonna do in the future, since there are not many real tactical shooters, and most of them already feature this notation. Thanks, again. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 10:13, 12 July 2011 (CDT)

I believe you are mistaken regarding the [[:File:ColtGovtModHBAR.jpg]] image. It is listed on the [[M16 rifle series]] under [[M16A2 Rifle]] (the second image).

Taken dirction from the [[M16A2 Rifle]] section....

''In contrast to the real world M16A2 rifle adopted by the U.S. Military in the early 1980s, most of the A2s seen in movies are A2 'kits' built on A1 full auto lower receivers (or converted A2 style receivers). Most movie "M16A2" rifles have the A1 Birdcage flash hider installed, since Cinematographers want the "starburst" of the Flash to go all the way around, not just divert upwards (as is the case with the correct A2 Flash hider). In the real world, the fully automatic version of the M16A2 is known as the M16A3, however, because nearly all movie "M16A2s" fire full automatic, it is not IMFDB policy to designate these rifles as "M16A3s" when identifying them in movies, since in nearly all cases they are intended to pass for M16A2s.
Also note that some American movies feature M16A1 rifles fitted with M16A2-style handguards, such as Heat and Die Hard 2. An example of such a rifle can be seen in the M16A1 entry above. When identifying M16 variants, please look at the receiver of the rifle in question, not just its handguards, to determine whether it is an A1 or an A2.''

MPM (who owns the gun in question and took the photo) identifies the gun as being a M16A2 prop that is build on a different lower. For the purposes of this site, it is identified as an M16A2 since that is the weapon it is intended to be in the movie. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 04:27, 25 March 2012 (CDT)

== SVD-M ==

From the filename, the weapon that was labelled as an SVD-M is actually an imported [http://www.dragunov.net/tiger.html Tiger Carbine]; if you view it full size, you can see the word "Tiger" on the receiver under the ejection port. It was originally labelled as such and [http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=SVD_Dragunov&action=historysubmit&diff=343039&oldid=340874 changed by some random guy called "Deathknight" back in 2010]. In addition, if you look at the file history the original version of the picture has a 5-round magazine which I don't think is issued with military SVDs but ''is'' issued with imported Tigers. So the caption needs to say it's a Tiger that ''looks'' like an SVD-M, not an actual SVD-M. Apparently the -S version we have might be a Tiger too, I'll ask MPM next time I'm on.

YOU BLANKED THE PAGE! WAHOOOO! Now it will load! :-) SO quick question for ya. What are the rules governing whether a fictional weapon gets its own page? I read the info on [[IMFDB Info: Fictional Firearms]] and it makes perfect sense, but it seems more about whether the gun is mentioned on the site or not. I'm particularly curious about the [[(America's Army 3) - Grenade Series]]. These grenades are used in 1 video game and are clearly based on real world grenades. It seems to me that they don't need to have their own page if they are just used in this one game. I'd love to hear your thoughts. :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 20:42, 18 March 2012 (CDT)

==Buying a SIG==
I may be looking into getting a SIG P220 (45acp). At the gun shop where I bought a S&W 4505 (same as your 4506 but blued, carbon steel). After the 3 day waiting period is up on the 4505, I'm going to take my Desert Eagle up there and see what they'll give me for it. The SIG in question is a two tone model, nickel side, black frame. It had a better grip than the 4505 but it was $50 more (listed at $600) and wasn't as clean as the 4505. Are the pre '96 stamped slide models the best to get and is there anything else I should look for? Is there anything else negative about the post '96 models other than the slide weight? --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 19:23, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks for the response, very informative. No problem with it being long either. Cleared up a lot of questions. I'm pretty sure it had the older style plastic grips. I don't think it had nickel controls either just the slide. I'll bring the date list with me and check. I didn't really give it a good look over. I just saw that was as clean as the 4505. I went into the gun shop just to see what they had, didn't plan on buying anything. I saw that 4505, you don't ever see them just the 4506 models. That had some P226's too, didn't really look at them. I already have a few nines and was wanting to get some .45's. If the Desert Eagle was a .44 I would keep it, my S&W 586 takes care of my .357 needs. If the SIG isn't up to par I get something else and look into getting one later. Thanks for the help. Also I considered trying to buy your 4506, but since it's a pain for you to ship out of state, I went local. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 20:34, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

==There's no pleasing you ;) ==
So are all the Canadian shows have the Oly grip on them? Are you sure? If they have the A2 style pistol grip, then it's essentially the same rifle. Also the 715 is not mine so I won't be getting that back to photograph any time soon. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:29, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==What about Stargate and other shows?==
There are TONS of TV shows filmed in Canada and I'm not sure that they use the Oly grip. I 'think' Seven days had the A2 grip and SG1 had the A2 grip sometimes. Let me know if ALL of the Canadian shows have the Oly grip, but I am sure I've seen other lowers on the guns in the past. I will try to get the rifle upper back and film it on an Oly lower. YOU KNOW I'm the ONLY IMFDB member who bothers to do that! ;) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:57, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==Deleting Frankengun pics==
I just deleted another one of my pics 'modified' by a member. I don't mind placeholders but the noobs don't give accreditation so I delete them as soon as I see them. People doing 'frankengun' chop jobs DE-motivates me to go out and photograph the real guns, and we don't want THAT to happen. :) I mean why bother trying to track down the real guns from HEAT if some guy is going to PS Franken gun another gun? If it looks decent enough the reason and motivation for me to take the time (and irritate my fellow armorers) becomes less and less compelling. Thoughts? [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:57, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==C7 stuff==
I was going to overwrite your old C7 shot with this new image, but then I realized that the naming nomenclature would be wrong and give the wrong impression (i.e. naming the file c7 when the rifle is a 715). I am looking forward to fixing the UGLY pics of the Diemaco section of the M16 page soon. Just a thought regarding a movie page, I don't think the rifles in [[Operation Dumbo Drop]] are 715s. Those 715 uppers were really prevalent in the 1990s when the supply of original M16A1 uppers dried up and everyone stopped making them and went to the A2 uppers. A lot of guys who wanted the M16A1 look but didn't have an A1 gun were buying what we all called 'The Canadian A1 upper' to build up their guns. So it's a regular franken gun with a straight ring and light barrel that happens to have a 715 upper receiver. It's the real life franken guns that trips us up. AR parts from so many manufacturers are so prevalent that we can be seeing Bushmaster or DPMS or Eagle Arms (now defunct) or Pac West guns all over the place. I remember that Colt was NOT selling their lower receivers (assholes) before the first Clinton ban, but everyone else was. I bought over 30 Pac West receivers and built them up into AR15 variants before the first AW ban. They were about $55.00 (and then jumped up to $400 just before the ban.). Just a note. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==Colt cowards==
They were one of the first ones to CAVE when the gun control fanatics started their jihad against gun owners, starting with the Stockton shooting in Feb 1989 all the way to the passage of the Clinton AW ban in 1994. Colt SOLD complete emasculated rifles with no bayonet lug and renamed receivers. Colt refused to sell lower receivers upon which to build custom guns. But that's what armorers wanted. We swap out uppers all the time. So unless the armory (like Stembridge, and later CW who picked up a lot of their stuff) bought all their guns in the 1970s and 1980s, from Colt, the most prevalent build up guns would be by other manufacturers. IN the early 1990s Colt rifles were more expensive than many competitors and also harder to find. Colt, IMHO, is the American H&K ;) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 21:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==715 photo==
Just talked to the owner about getting the barreled upper for a shoot. He will be available in about 2 weeks. Also I discovered during our conversation. ((I didn't look that closely at the gun because it was a really quick shoot that I had to do in about 3 minutes! Someone put the gun against the white background and I lit it and click off about a dozen shots from that angle only and off it went))... that it was a full Colt 715 kit but mounted on a pre-1989 Bushmaster XM15-A2 lower that was legally converted to full auto fire from a civilian receiver (i.e. a post 86 sample). There are small 'marking' differences, i.e. the full auto setting word was stamped on LATER. Does that make a difference? Or should I reshoot the entire gun with a Colt lower receiver? [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 22:51, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

==Got an easy fix for the 715==
The Factory Colt 715 has no select fire markings on the right side of the gun. I can just 'clone' out the markings, though I don't like to do that, (I use Photoshop just to remove SNs if needed, scratches, cracks, oil stains, weird reflections, etc. I try not to fundamentally change the look of the gun, just to 'clean it up'). But I can clone out the Bushmaster Selector markings and keep it blank. Thus for all intents and purposes, it looks like a Colt 715 lower from that side. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 22:05, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
::(EDIT) Done. I also cloned out a big fat THUMBPRINT that I left on the upper (oops!) hahahahaha. Don't want to pollute IMFDB's pics with that kinda stuff! :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 23:10, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

==SIG P228==
You know, I've been itching to replace that 228 with a better pic. That gun was dropped and in the middle of repair when I snapped a pic of it. The frame was scratched really bad (from a car stunt) and was repainted with black spray paint. It was NOT the best example to use. Should we let Joker keep his P228 pic until I can get a better screen used P228 sample? At the least, it will be a reminder for me to get a new P228 pic. Thoughts? [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 21:28, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
:I opt to keep the beater P228 pic for now. It IS a screen used gun, but nothing big or eventful, mostly B-movies and I can't figure out where it was rented to. I will try to get a screen used P228 from a BIG MOVIE from CW hopefully soon. I will be out of town for a WW2 documentary shoot for NATGEO in the South Pacific again (I leave on wed), so I will not be able to screencap or take pics (only some blank firing Pistols of which IMFDB already has the pics for and a BUNCH of rubber Arisakas and garands for some reenactments for the documentary film crew). I will be back 1st week of April. I will be on here on IMFDB, though via wi fi from the lap top from the hotel. If we get rained out, you'll be seeing me here on IMFDB! hahahaha. best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 22:38, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
==Desert Eagle==
Great work on the page. :) Let me know what you need help on. I think my brother has Lucky Number Slevin. So I'll check and see if the model can be determined. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 20:52, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah I could give two shits about the video game junk too. Most of them will probably Mark XIX. The grid pattern isn't necessary unless it's a long list. But anyway I'll help what I can. Also that custom Eagle you just uploaded is a USA built one. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 21:06, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
::Yeah that's what I would do, let the hardcore gamers sort that crap out if they care so much.(Very few would be Mark VII) Also even though there wouldn't be any blank converted Eagles in the .440 Cor-Bon caliber I added it to the specifications to be more accurate.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 21:27, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the .440 version didn't have the flutes. Also I'm throwing a wrench here. But I think the early Mark XIX models at least in the .44 Magnum may not have had fluted barrels. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 21:58, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

[[Image:44barrel.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

:Why do they prefer the .50 AE? Does it cycle better than the .357 and .44 because you can get a heavier powder charge? Or I'm wondering if the .50 isn't rimmed like the .357 and .44 makes it easier. All this talk about Eagles makes me what to go shoot mine.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:28, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

:I helped identify Desert Eagles appearing in animes and a few video games. Even after this a lot of video games are left, some of which cannot be identified since either those pages have no screencaps to identify the model or the Desert Eagles appearing in them have components of Mark I,VII,XIX mixed together!. I also deleted some video games, films, anime and television series appearing in the page which appeared in red.--[[User:SB2296|SB2296]] 06:21, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

==Blanks==
It took them a while to get .45 1911's to cycle blanks also. It seems like it would be tough to get a DE to cycle reliable with blanks. Don't know if you handled one and racked the slide. (Fucking heavy). I almost smacked myself in the face after shooting mine and then switching to a Hi-power. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 23:01, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

:I'll have to search the forum and read your Desert Eagle story. The .357 is the biggest handgun caliber I have shot. I don't go shooting with anyone else besides my dad, so I don't get to shoot anyone else guns. I'd like to shoot a .50 just for the experience.

==Mods & Stuff==
yeah, he was writing snarky sarcastic stuff. Sounds just like a kid. Personally I think some of our newer (foreign) members are 'young' based on their actions (and preferences). For one, I don't like spending time arguing why we should NOT have a section on suction cup arrows LOL! We always get some noob waltz in and start challenging the rules of IMFDB (Gee, why don't you guys start doing THIS instead?) Thankfully I've seen some of our experienced (and even some newer members who 'get it') step in and intervene. It's gratifying to see that we have members who follow the rules and enforce that amongst other members. :) the shoot was a mixed bag. It was really windy and stormy in the South pacific. Even though there was no rain, the wind gusts knocked me down several times. I'm only here for a few days. I leave for Rome for a shoot and then for a gig in Hong Kong. No I don't take any weapons with me ;) I only act in a paid advisory capacity. But depending on whether I can get internet access from wherever I'm at in the world, I may not be around for April-early May. We'll see. Sometimes the shoot days are so long, that I just crash at the end of the day. Anyway, I felt like I was the lone mod sometimes (but again, we have quite a few experienced standard members who are doing a good job of reigning in some of the wacky changes made by 'drive by members'. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:39, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying this for me. While we're on the subject of the M16 series, would you mind if I went ahead and phased out the older Model 715 picture and deleted it in favor of MPM's pic?

The replica HPs must have been used by the triads. There is one good view of a HP. It appears to be a Inglis, judging from the front sight and finger notch on slide.

==AKs and Canucks==
Those AKs built for We Were Soldiers were built in 2002, so they could not have been in anything prior to that. They were built because the filmmakers, upon learning what we all know about Type 56s, etc. opted to have tons of real milled receiver guns built for the film's authenticity. The last time I saw them, they were the same color (i.e. wood furniture) so they're pretty easy to spot. As for replacing the real AK-47 pic, I'm trying to get a pic of a real example from an Army Museum, so that we have a real Soviet one for all those film entries that were done overseas over the years. I hate those jacked Type 1-3 examples, for one they don't represent what was actually a production model and they're also readily recognizable jacked images. But since the WWS AKs had that weird wood, I wouldn't replace the other pics just yet.

:BTW we should create a set of rules stating whether a gun should demand its own page or be redirected to another page for a gun from which the former gun was derived. Earlier there were many controversies regarding these redirects (though the FPK/PSL thing was my fault, it was actually a AK style receiver on close inspection) and these set of rules will define the place where a gun actually belongs to. For example, like the HK21 the PSG-1 is a modified G3 and happens to be in the G3 page, but it has a sub variant of its own (the MSG-90) and I believe it should have its own , separate page. And by doing this, pages like the AK-47, M16 and G3 will be brief in size too.--[[User:SB2296|SB2296]] 07:48, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

== Re: Lethal Weapon S&W ==

I was looking at the ''[[Lethal Weapon 2]]'' page not long ago and saw that the S&W was changed from a 5906 to a 659. I don't remember where I saw it (one of the discussion pages I think) but someone had wrote that the 5906 in Lethal Weapon 2 couldn't be possible at that time period so it had to be a 659. And then, seeing as Murtaugh used what I think was the same gun in ''[[Lethal Weapon 3]]'', that's why I thought it was a 659. But seeing as you've just provided better evidence, I'll change it back lol. My mistake. -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 18:08, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

==SIG cont.==
I checked that SIG out at the gun shop again. They had dropped the price from $600 to $570. But after looking over it better, all over the nickel slide, tiny spots of the finish are missing. Pretty poor gun. They have an all black one a little cheaper but it wasn't much better.

I found one on gun broker I really like for $575. Here is the description "Sig P220, West German Manuf. This Sig has been refinished by, CCR / Cummings Custom Refinish. There are no issues and was in Excellent Condition prior to Refinish as it is now, low round count and all Orginal factory parts."

It's technically reverse two-tone by SIG standards, but norm for others. It's a $160 for the refinish job, not to mention shipping. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 18:38, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

:I've bought a few older guns off GB and I haven't had any problems. (knock on wood) Generally if the gun was really beat up prior to refinishing, it would still show. Also the grips should actually be the checkered style right? --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 15:00, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

The all black P220 at the gun shop had Hogue finger groove grips, they were much too big for me. The two-tone had the pebble grain and it felt just right. The non finger groove Hogue's may be okay. A few hours before the two-tone SIG above goes out, there's an all black West German one with factory box, papers and two mags. It's in very good condition. It's at $350 right now, I may try to get it, depends on how crazy the bidding gets. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 01:23, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

[[Image:SIG220-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

:Well it looks like I'll be the two-tone SIG owner. I got into a bidding war with the black one above. Bowed out at $475 (it was back and forth). I figure the extra $100 on the two-tone would be worth it. Even if it didn't come with extra mag and box.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:33, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

::No prob on getting back to me. I like the two-tone much much better too. But I figured if I could have saved a 100 bucks or more, it would have been nice. But after getting outbid the last time on the black one, I was relieved --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 23:26, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

==22 AKs==
Nope there were a bunch, the ones imported by Mitchell Arms, I think, were the Armscorp ones made in the Philippines, and they looked like crap. Or the Italian Armi-Jager ones, also imported. Regardless, only the .22LR guns had that style of forearm. As for the Hudsons, I would demand proof of your assertion. I have every Hudson imported from the late 1970s on. They all look the same and they don't look anything like that. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 17:19, 5 July 2010 (UTC) (BTW, I'm typing this with no sleep so if I sound insane, forget it) You know what?

But I was thinking you might have a list that you really wanted. this is a limited time offer! :D The only problem with getting some of the BIG armory guns is that the guys really don't like it when I bother them to snap pics when they're neck deep in a big movie production. Gotta tread lightly there. :) On the photo front, I've 'fixed and cleaned up' some guns (and those are the ones I don't put the copyright disclaimer on so you know that I'm just cleaning up jacked images).

Hey Matt, The guns for Predators was supplied by ISS. I made the muzzle attachments on the Beretta 92 and the HK. Also made the mount on the AA-12 for the surefire grip/light. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

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

I was reading the list of your weapons and noticed you mentioned your Type 56 was "Pre-Ban".

==Reply==
Thanks for the clarification. I thought you were talking about the import ban but wasn't sure. In addition to the assult weapons import ban I think there was another ban that prevents any weapons, including sporting arms like the Norinco coppy of the Winchester 1887, from being imported from China. I would have to double check that information though. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

==Regarding a Mod's removal of a trivia section==
I have contested Orca's removal of the Canadian dogtags trivia from the [[X2: X-Men United]] page citing the rules standards and principles and here is a direct quote from the Rules, Standards and Principles page:

* Trivia related Images: Exceptions are trivia shots, but Trivia sections should be kept to a minimum and should be of general interest to movie buffs and not just re-iterate information that is on the DVD commentary. Acceptable trivia can mention military aircraft, vehicles and equipment in a film or television show or generally unknown information about a show or video game that is weapons related in nature, however small amounts of general trivia that is related to the scene is acceptable.

Orca removed it because it is "Not Gun Related" even though the rules allow for small bits of trivia esp. if they are military related.
I am forwarding this you because I have messaged Orca, and he has yet to respond even though I messaged him a couple days ago.

Ben sent this to MPM, it's quite an extensive list. Not all of it seems like it would be correct like a Desert Eagle is listed as being used in Predator (which they did), but also [[The Deer Hunter]]. It wasn't even around yet. But in some, it could be useful, like it says a Glock 21 was used in [[Eraser]] instead of G17 that we have listed. It also had the shotgun he used but the folding stock is gone. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 03:18, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

:Another thing I didn't get, both the DE's shown had 14" barrels, I've never seen one used in a film. (Always the standard 6", would be cool if they did.) In [[Predator]] and [[Extreme Prejudice]] they both had DE's but neither showed them with those barrels. I guess the frames and slides were used in the film but the barrels changed out. Also the G21 in Eraser has the dummy suppressor used so that's probably correct. I scanned through most of it, I would guess 80% to 90% is probably correct. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 05:32, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
::hmmm.. I haven't seen Eraser in a while. Was the scene of him loading the gun an insert shot? That may have been the reason for the different Glocks, but they all look alike to me anyway :). I stopped in my local gun shop yesterday and handled a Gen2 G21 and Springfield XDM .45. The XDM while it felt slide heavy it had so much better of a grip than the Glock. I'm not sure if the SF version and Gen4 would be much of an improvement. I hate to even stop in there, there is always something I want to get. They have S&W 1911 Commander I really really want. Thinking about trading in the DE and Para to get it, I'm tired of those guns. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 17:35, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

==M1911A1 disclaimer==

I'm thinking about adding this to the [[M1911A1]] section. LMK what you think. I'm not really satisfied with the wording.

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

--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:46, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

:Usually we can spot the Model B. but they could slip by. The Mark IV Series 70 in 9mm while it was available they aren't all that common, I very rarely see them come up for sale. (maybe the armories bought them all). Also while it's hard to do because of the breech face, a .45 can be converted to 9mm. Maybe with a blank conversion it's very common. Because they are doing all kinds of filing down and such. This is from the [[Cobra]] talk page. ''"I would say that it's one of Stembridge 9mm conversions of a Colt Series 70 Cold Cup. I have seen some of there barrels in the junk bin as they '''converted 45 to 9mm'''. I will check it out tomorrow the 18th and get back to you.- [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]"'' A lot of them being chambered or converted to 9mm sounds like good mention. But when did actual .45 1911's become reliable with blanks? --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 04:33, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

:::I remember MPM saying they often borrow from each other, so certain rare variants may come from specific armories. Looking at the Stembridge auction list, in Magnum P.I. and Blues Brothers they used 9mm Series 70, while a lot of Seagal films had .45 Series 70. So I guess it wasn't until the mid to late 80s .45s were reliable enough to be used. In the auction list there was also several Series 80 9mm that weren't converted to blanks (I guess future conversions). I'm going to ask Phoenixent what was the most common 1911 model in Stembridge's inventory. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:25, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
::::Steve gave me a bunch of useful info. I'm going to use that disclaimer as I have it written, then expand on it later with the 9mm stuff. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 20:48, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Should we just use the summary Steve made? Maybe take out just the info the regarding Stembridge's inventory. Somethings could be reworded but we would have to ask to Steve if that's okay with him. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 02:03, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

The only thing I reworded was the 45 to 9mm conversion and took out the info about Stembridge. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 02:20, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

In early gangster films Colt 1911's were not converted to blanks but were still live fire weapons. This was before live rounds were prohibited on film sets. The 1911's and 1911a1 are a delayed blow back weapon and were more difficult to convert than the straight blow back pistol like the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless. The .45 ACP blanks were made from a cut down .30-06 cartridge and were mainly used in the Colt Thompson Submachine Guns but the 1911 had some issues due to the hard rifle primers. So most 1911 and 1911A1's used in films prior to 1950 fired only one shot since they were not converted to blanks or a mock up 1911 that has a small revolver inside an aluminum shroud to stand in for a 1911 when firing multiple rounds. About 1950 the Star Model B was brought in to the US for sale and several studios and armories purchased these since 9mm blanks worked and a conversion on a delayed blow back weapon was developed. From 1950 through the mid 80's the Star Model B, Colt 9mm and Colt .38 Supers with a 9mm barrel were used. Around 1985 a new .45 blank cartridge was developed that used a large pistol primer allowing the armories to activate their 1911's to fire reliably. Conversions from .45 to 9mm were tried prior to this but had problems due to the larger breach face in the 45 slide compared to the 9mm slide.

== I don't understand ==
I apologize if I offended you, but I've seen MANY pages that have witty remarks on them, and saying "Rulers are SO 1950's" I don't consider offensive. I have written comments like this before, and no one ever cared. Again, I'm sorry, but I'd appreciate an explaination of why it was "Vandalism".

==Golden closet credit for Scarface shotgun==
Curious as to why we credited them when we really don't have any of their stuff on the page (i.e. the photos of the Zebala shotgun). Those are all mine. I thought we credited them and made links for them when we used their photos. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:31, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
::Sorry about the stupid anon, IMFDB tends to log me out mysteriously when I'm typing. You were right to assume that since no other person would claim that the photos on the page were theirs.[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:31, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Are you going to answer my question or not? There is a notation about the shotgun "This exact weapon was also rented to film and television productions prior to and after the release of Scarface." but no other information is offered. GC's website doesn't list any other credits. Also the tribute to GC is listed twice. Once on the paragraph and again on my photograph. This portrays the erroneous impression that they provided the photograph. I am removing this section (blurb on the photo). Also the impression is that they are the only ones to document the screen usage of the gun, which again is untrue. we can list a link to their auction, but they really did nothing other than offer additional documentation on the weapons we already had on the page. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:34, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

==Tricky wording==
Well you don't want to overpander to GC. The wording sounds like you're giving them credit for my work which as you know, can cause problems. I intend to do some editing of those sections which are overtly offensive if it's alright with you. MPM

==AK buying==
It will be a few months away, but figured I would go ahead and nag ya. (I just bought two Korean 75 round drums that were one sale for $50 apiece from AIM, so I have got to get one to make the drums worthwhile) You said the Chinese Poly Techs are great and I think it was the Hungarian's too? Used or new doesn't really matter. I didn't want to spend more than $800. But if the right one came along I could see spending a little more. This one on gunbroker looked great, http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=205633083 What about the Norinco's? Besides the Arsenal Saiga are there any in current production worth looking at? --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 17:29, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:cont... Alright I did a bit of searching on prices. Whoever listed that Polytech Legend for a 1k, fucked up. Most list at 2k or close to it. In the book of gun values they list the standard Poly's at $1300 (100% condition), the Legend at $1900. I don't really care whether it's milled or stamped, but fuck that was a good deal.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:55, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
::No that wasn't me sadly. I was searching completed auctions and that one came up, it sold at the beginning of Dec. I have gotten a few good deals, but I'm never that lucky. My username on GB is Predator20 also. Yours is a Legend but has the the stamped receiver? I'm just reading from the Gun Values book it says the Poly Tech AKS is the semi-auto version of the Chinese AKM (Type 56), while the Legend is the semi-auto version of the original AK-47 which I thought meant milled only.

::Yes it's amazing what banning a firearm can do to prices, the PT's last MSR was $400 and $550, but that was 20 years ago. All the current PT prices on gunbroker seem out of line, of course that's because of that one above. It will a few months before I'm able to get one. Unless that super great deal comes along. Even though there are plenty of cheap ones around, I'd rather spend the few extra dollars and get better quality. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 02:32, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

:I have corrected him a few times on 1911s, particularly the Low Down Dirty Shame page. AKs are your bag. As much work as he does he deserves a little slack.

Also even though I heard good things about the Russian Arsenal AKs, a guy on youtube did a video on one, he couldn't swap parts from his WASR and other AK onto it. So Arsenal made them so you would have to buy their parts, forget all that.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 22:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

== Norinco Type 56 section ==

Should we add a note saying the Type 56 was originally manufactured with a milled receiver, since we don't have a pic of one? A lot of the Vietnam films with Norinco's generally have the milled. [[Platoon]], [[Uncommon Valor]], [[Good Morning Vietnam]].
[[Image:GB VC AK47 5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A VC Guerrilla trains his AK-47 on 'Doc' Jordan ([[Austin Farwell]]), giving us a good look at the muzzle and forward stock that confirms it as an AK, rather then the Chinese variant, the Norinco Type 56.]]

== Forum topic ==

I'm waiting for approval to post on the forums, and I don't think Burt has quite explained what he's doing: he opposes the use of the ''term'' "RPG" to describe anything but RPG-X weapons, because he thinks you should only read it as the Russian meaning rather than the more common "rocket propelled grenade" (which I'm fairly sure the US Army would have some issues with, since they call projectiles and launchers RPGs all the time). He's therefore removing all references to the Type 69 or its projectiles being RPGs, which isn't correct. While you might not always say "Norinco type 56 assault rifle" you wouldn't remove the words "assault rifle" from a caption because it was ''wrong''.

*Further to that, here's something fun: PersonOfInterest's last activity is [http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/PersonOfInterest 26th August 2010].

[http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=upload&user=PersonOfInterest&page=&year=&month=-1 PersonOfInterest uploaded exactly 9 files in his whole time here, none of then screenshots]; so far, Burt has uploaded absolutely nothing to the site since last November.

== Readcted Discussion. ==

Hi
Thanks for the comment on my profile explaining your removal of my discussion on Redacted.
The removal of the entire discussion proved unquestionably for me what I was fearing most and trying to prevent on this site. I am sure you are smart enough to deduce what that thing is for people like me - whatever you wish to call us.

I was originally planning to leave this site with a much nastier rant about all you people and what I predict for you and this site in the near future. However, there is enough nastyness and hate in the world, so the best way to go is witha good note.

I will try to close my account here, and I wont bother going to any forum to argue with any of you. Can I please finally ask you to please close my account for me if I don't manage to do it myself (I am by far no computer or tech wizard).

Goodbye mate, and take care of yourself. [[User:Tec-9|Tec-9]] 16:02, 8 June 2011 (CDT)

:Hi again. Did end up coming back on this site to check if my account is closed or not, and yeah did manage to read your message and here I am responding to it. I can argue against everything you said, but it will definately be a waste of my time and probably your too. Regarding 'what I fear most and trying to stop on this site', I was refering to a fusion of ignorance, extremism and censorship. I'm sure you'll disagree, but that is just my viewpoint. My English is actually quite good, I just guessed you'd figure it out without the need for me to explicitly state it.

:I am also not quite sure what you mean by a "martyr complex", I have no desire to die for anything or making a martyrdom out of being banned from this website. That would be downright laughable, as I have quite openly requested for my account to be closed, rather than being banned for speaking my "radical leftist" viewpoint. Besides which, even if I was that indignant as to claim I've been banned for political reasons, who would really care, and how can something so insignificant on the world wide web make any difference to this site.

:So again I request that can you please close down my account or ban me on request. Alternatively, I guess I'll just change my password to something really long that I wont remmeber and logging out.

:Either way, goodbye and take care of yourself.
:Peace. [[User:Tec-9|Tec-9]] 10:48, 9 June 2011 (CDT)

== Ultimate Force ==

Don't worry, am going to add descriptions, gun links/photos and captions, just wanted to add all the screencaps first so I had a frame to work on (have finished this now, so just about to start on the rest). As for the order of the guns, I did them chronologically (preferred this as it means it is easier to use the page to ID unknown guns IMO). In your opinion should it be alphabetical then, and is there any official rule/guideline on this?

As for the length, I personally far prefer pages for the whole series rather than splitting it into seasons, and believe that on the whole it is far more user friendly than split into seasons. (This is why I put the guns in each category chronologically rather than alphabetically.) Being a Stargate fan I am sometimes frustrated by the new layout, in particular if I am on a gun page and want to see pics of it being used and the link just redirects me to the root SG1 page, and am left guessing what season to click. What exactly is the IMFDB policy on length of pages (couldn't find anything about it on the rules page), as assumed this would be an ok length as it has a smaller number of guns than other unsplit pages on the site. However, I suppose if it is against the policy, I'll split it up.

Also, while I'm here is it against the rules to create a gun page for a gun that will likely have only one appearance? I found a BMS Snicam while doing this page and don't like it being unlinked, but I highly doubt there will ever be another production with one (or any of the Milcam variants) in.--[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 19:53, 20 July 2011 (CDT)

== Gun handling ==

Are you sure??? I have seen many comments about the gun handling in movies because it refers to the use of the firearms int the movie. I think that IMFDB would be boring if we simply listed the firearms and did not connect how they are used to the story. For example: on the Terminator Two page, I mentioned that Sarah shows excellent gun handling due to her preparation for judgement day.

== Weapon Naming Question ==

Hello.

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

An example of such weapon is '''SVU''' (incorrectly called 'SVU Dragunov', as I was explaining on the [[Talk:SVD Dragunov|corresponding talk page]]. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 10:10, 11 November 2011 (CST)

The filename "Glock19" should be a picture of the Glock 19 instead of a screenshot. That Glock picture was your picture. I'm always writing the code from memory for the weapons and would rather have something with that filename. Whatever. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 23:45, 30 March 2012 (CDT)

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

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

Thanks for the feedback on the pages. I'm glad you like them. I having a bit of trouble coming up with some of the info for the older, less common guns. I'm mainly working from Wikipedia which is woefully lacking in information when it comes to Colts. Also, many of the individual pages for these guns are very poorly thrown together. Any information you can fill in would be great! I think S&W will be the LAST page I do... Happy holidays. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 16:34, 27 December 2011 (CST)

No there isn't. The page kept getting created and and the contents of the page were a different movie entirely. Got tired of deleting it for the millionth time. So left it up and protected it so we don't have to delete it anymore. Also thanks for cleaning up the In the Line of Duty: The FBI Murders page, people should really use the talk page. I haven't read much up on the actual shootout lately. But a few of the agents did carry Model 19s and 686s. They were probably still loaded with 38 Specials. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 10:56, 13 January 2012 (CST)

I actually carried those rounds in my S&W 442. (I traded it, it wasn't fun to shoot even with standard pressure ammo) Coincidently I traded a Glock 19 for a Model 60, haven't got to take it out yet. Figure the extra weight might make it easier to shoot compared to the 442. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 11:28, 13 January 2012 (CST)

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

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

==Dirty Harry==

Just so you know, [[User:Rafa|Rafa]] has already done most of the Dirty Harry films. They could use a re-vamp, though, as most of them are missing stuff that we usually consider essential to a good page.

==1911==

Interestingly enough, I talked to my uncle (who is from West Hurley, NY; dunno if you've ever been there) a few weeks before I moved to Texas, and he was telling me excitedly about how he purchased an STI Guardian 1911 last month. If I ever go back there, I might just have to shoot it. Actually, I get the impression he wouldn't let me rest until I do...

Anyway, to answer your question, I must point out that I rarely get to shoot at all, which is mostly a consequence of the fact that I was in college out-of-state for four years, and recently moved to another state to take a job. However, I've never been a huge fan of .45 ACP pistols, which I've simply never handled well. My grandfather gave me a S&W 4506 when I turned 18, and it's really a monster (I haven't shot it in about 4 years now). I've fired only one 1911 which also belonged to my uncle, a Springfield Armory if I recall. Great gun, but still not quite up my alley. Of the .45s I have shot, I would say I liked the P220 SAO best, but even then, not enough to buy. Don't get me wrong; I completely respect the 1911 and appreciate its importance to the development of the semi-auto pistol, but I don't shoot much, and I'm just not big into .45 ACP when I do, even though most American pistol shooters are. Also, I should point out that while I prefer the Taurus PT92 over the Beretta due to the 1911-style frame-mounted controls, I still like the SIG decocker best, which is why I'm currently leaning towards the P226 as a handgun purchase (which won't be anytime soon, since I'm not living in my state of residence right now).

BTW, nice job on improving the 1911 page. It's not perfect (lots of images still not aligned with the guns they're supposed to be with), but it does look a lot less sloppy than it used to. Keep working on those movie pages, too! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

:Depends. If you can get a Tokarev pic, great. I do, of course, have a slight preference for MPM2008's pictures because his are always done professionally, but yours would still be great, too...if you can get it.

:Don't worry about corrections. We all make mistakes. If it seems like we pick on you, it's just that you do ''so'' much work on this site that it's inevitable you'll have a lot errors, too. I mean, think of the ''[[Hard Boiled]]'' page...when you've got like 50 guns, how can you NOT get so tired that your eye slips on some of them?

::It's fine, bruh...whenever you get time. It's for the site, not for me personally.

::Oh, yeah, and while I appreciate the corrections on my mis-identification of Mossbergs (I suck with those), doesn't the Cruiser have a heat shield as standard? The ones in ''[[Training Day]]'' and ''[[The Departed]]'' don't have that, so does that just make them regular pistol-gripped 500s?

==New stuff==

Ah, great to see someone finally made a page for the Walther MP subguns. We've needed one for a while, and it's been on my to-do list, but I see you beat me to it! I hope you don't mind, but I did re-title the page so that it instead says "Walther MP series", to more accurately describe what it says. Also (this is totally nitpicky), there's no hyphen in the name (i.e. "MP-L" should just be "MPL"), so I did change that, too.

Thanks for uploading a Type 84 picture as well. MPM2008 said he'd do it for me at some point, but he couldn't find the mags for the Type 84s in his company's vault, so he wasn't going to take a picture until he could find them. Yours will do for now, tho. Also, do you think we should give it its own entry in the [[AK-47]] page? I mean, the Type 84 is basically just a Type 56 that fires .223, so I figured it would be best to just include it under the Type 56 entry as a Type 56 variation. Though I guess that would get confusing...

:I added it to the AK page in the Norinco section already. And when I found the info for the Walther MP guns, they had hyphens for the L & Ks.

::Oh, I know you added the Type 84 already; I'm just question whether it should be grouped with Norinco Type 56. Anyway, didn't you get those pics from World Guns.ru? They don't use the hyphen. Which site did you get your info from?

:My information is from a book, the pictures are from that site.

::OK, interesting. Which book is it? It doesn't matter too much, I guess, but everything I've read has no hyphen. I have a Gun Digest Assault Weapons issue from 1986 which reviews the MPK, and that's what they call it, not "MP-K".

: "Small Arms From the Civil War to the Present Day" by Martin J. Dougherty made in 2005. He lists them as the MP-L and MP-K. Like you said, it doesn't really matter much.

== Your articles ==

Hi,

You know I really like your articles, but I must make one request: Please try to add pictures of the guns, and also make sure that when you say the gun's name, you link to its page (if you've seen the ''[[Heat]]'' page recently, you'll notice I edited the guns you added to include pictures and links). I realize it's probably a pain in the ass, especially when you've got a gazillion weapons like your articles for ''[[Hollow Point]]'' or ''[[Last Action Hero]]'', but try to do it when you get around to it. You can always do what I do: Copy and paste the code for the images and links from other pages which use the same gun, especially if the coding is complicated (i.e. getting to a specific MP5 variant). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

:First of all, no page on IMFDB can escape MT2008's obsessive-compulsive editing tendencies! Haha, no, seriously, if you look at many of the pages I've worked on, I'm always editing them from time-to-time as I realize mistakes I've made. Plus, my pages rarely get shotguns or revolvers correct (since modern military weapons and semi-auto pistols are what I know best); I tend to leave them as "unknown" for other users in the future to correct.

:As far as profanity goes, I dunno, I'm not one of the admins (come to think of it, I haven't seen any of them for a LONG time now). I'd guess it's OK provided you're just quoting a character (as you do on the ''[[Heartbreak Ridge]]'' page), but not if you're using it gratuitously, especially in conversation. You'd have to ask someone in charge for the low-down on that.

== Current stuff ==

Just an FYI: Since I see you're working so hard on your ''[[Hollow Point]]'' page, I guess now's not the time, but...I recall there being an H&K-model rifle (probably an HK91) used by one of the police snipers in ''[[The Fugitive]]''.

As far as the grenade launcher in ''[[Hollow Point]]'', it does look a lot like the Arwen 37 (Google Image search it and you'll see pics), but I'm not positive. I've seen it before, too...I think in another movie somewhere.

::You sure? I watched it twice and saw no HK91 rifle. And I said it was a MK1 Arwen, the oldest model employed, which he stole from a police car, which makes sense for a cop in 1996 to use one. And I've finally finished the [[Hollow Point]] page.

I remember it being at the very end, after he's been cleared and Gerard is escorting him out, you see a sniper wandering around with what looks like an HK91 or an SR9 variant. But I haven't seen the movie in years.

You should get a picture of the Arwen launcher for your page. Also, I'm pretty sure that tiny shotgun you see is a Franchi PA3/215 with a forward hand grip. I could be wrong (it's hard to tell from the distance), but I've never seen a Serbu with a folding stock, and I never thought they existed.

==Heat==

You should replace my screenshot of Trejo's AK's front sight with yours. Mine is from a low-quality AVI rip of the movie.

Also, what's a "P220-1"? I don't think I've ever heard that term used to describe a P220 before. Are you just referring to the fact that it's an older model P220 with a stamped slide and alloy frame?

::It's what someone else listed it as earlier before. I assume it is meant to label the oldr model but I too haven't heard the term, I just went along with it. I don't change something unless it looks wrong or I think it is. Leave your username so I can respond back to ''you''.

::Oh, right, I always forget to do that. Personally, I wish IMFDB would add an option to automatically sign messages on other people's walls.

::From what I've been reading, "P220-1" is apparently what some magazines for the gun are marked. I also see that the picture you found on a Google image search is also labeled "P220-1". I don't think it's a factory term (or even a fan-made term) for older-model P220s. I've heard the term "P220 American" to describe the P220s that have the magazine release near the decocker (as opposed to the bottom of the grip, which characterized the early European models) because this was apparently done specifically for the American market. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

:::Well, it's a bit more complicated with SIG than with Glock to label things in "Generations". I have certainly heard terms like "Gen 1" and "Gen 2" to describe Glocks (in fact, I often use them in my own articles), but when it comes to SIGs, they've made a zillion little changes to the guns every couple years to refine problems that developed. Like the moves from stamped to milled slides, K-kote and stainless finishes, magazine release changes, standard frames to railed frames (which are now standard on all of the P220-series guns, so they don't use the "R" to describe them anymore), etc, etc, etc. Plus, there were mechanical changes (i.e. redesign of the trigger bar spring) and ergonomic changes (i.e. redesign of the grips). These aren't changes that were introduced in any concrete "generations"; any SIG pistol you pick up might have some of the design changes, but lack others.

:::So I'm not really sure how each "generation" would be described exactly. In fact, it'd be kind of weird to call the gun in your picture a "Gen 1" because that's technically not true - the very first P220 was the model with the magazine release on the bottom of the grip, which was eventually replaced by what gun rags used to call the "P220 American" (the first model to feature the regular push-button mag release, and the best description for McCauley's gun). Would that make McCauley's gun a Gen 2? I'm not really sure. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

::::Oh, I know Glock gens. Those are quite easy in comparison, even though there have been some internal mechanical changes to Glocks as well within generations.

::::All-metal SIGs are nice guns, IMO. I can definitely say I'd love to own a P226 as soon as I can get my permit application completed (which sucks because in Orange County, NC, I have to get 3 references from other people before I can apply for a pistol purchase permit at the local sheriff's dept. office). It's one of the most ergonomic pistol designs I've ever fired. However, you gotta be careful with what you buy because they've had lots of mechanical issues over the years. I also think they're kind of overpriced for what you get. But...still very nice guns.

::::Congrats on the new compensator for the 1911. Have fun with that! BTW, nice job on ''[[The Rock]]'' page. I've been making corrections (as usual, because, you know...that's what I do), but it's cool you got so many high-quality screenshots uploaded.

==Defense Technologies==

Here is a picture of what the DefTech/Federal Labs launcher looks like:

[[Image:Federallabs37.jpg|thumb|none|400px|]]

These have appeared in quite a few films, often portrayed as HE grenade launchers (''[[RoboCop 3]]'' is a good example). Anyway, it could be a C.A.W., but the arms of the folding stock visible in the second pic look kind of like DefTech to me. Hopefully, Al Vrkljan will start posting on this site again soon so that we can ask him!

== Response ==

I'm sorry, but I don't have any pictures of the guns I held years ago. the handguns I held are my Uncle's, he's a retired police officer, and I'm not sure if he'll let me look at them again because you know how some people are about firearms, but I can tell you that the .22 pistol was a very small if that will help. And also, there is another page larger then [[Bad Boys II]], and it's MoviePropMaster2008's [[District B13]] with 37 guns. [[User: Alienqueen11]]

Thanks for identifying the shotguns on the [[Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem]] page, I hope the brighter screenshots helped.

Hey, I want to say good work on [[Heartbreak Ridge]], there are so many pages on this site that need improvement.

Just don't use anything racist, but I'm sure you won't. [[User: Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]]

:OK, that's what I figured, too, but I wanted to be sure. I did notice that some of the quotes which appear on the Main Page have profanity (like the one from ''Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels''), but it's an issue that's never been addressed at all.

== .50 Caliber 1911? ==

Yes, there is a .50 Caliber 1911. Guncrafter Industries Model No. 1 .50 GI. The bullet is roughly the same dimensions as the .45 ACP, just a little wider. Not the most practical gun, but it's a .50 1911 model.

[[Image:M1.50GI.jpg]]

Also, the Automag V is the .50 caliber version, The Automag III is chambered for .30 Carbine (I actually got to play with one of these, slide is loooooong.) Not to be snide or cocky, you know your material, just saying.

Furthermore, I commend you with your eagle eyes spotting all the famous movieguns we've seen time and time again. Gun guys have to stick together, especially the next generation. If you ever want to contact me outside the site, email me at companygunner@yahoo.com, or if you have an AIM account I'll be more than happy to IM. Keep up the great work.

== Nice work on Platoon ==

It's shaping up nicely - I just made it the featured article on the front page. [[User:Bunni|bunni]] 00:35, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

==Other answers (sorry for belated delivery)==
..''"how is it you take a picture of a gun and get a perfectly white clear background? What method is used to get that effect?" ''
: I put the weapons on a clear plexiglass frame mount which I built from scratch. I place them in front of a seamless white paper backdrop. I illuminate the gun from one side with a large Arriflex Soft box and a smaller Lowel RIFA soft box on the other side. Sometimes I just put an LTM pepper on spots to lighten up dark areas. Then I put an Arriflex 1K on wide flood on the backdrop to whiten it out. I still need to erase some of the clear plexiglass mount (nothing is invisible, even clear transparent stuff) with Photoshop, but since most of the work is done before I download it onto the computer, it becomes much easier. I also move back at least ten feet and photograph the gun with a telephoto lens. This eliminates the 'warp' distortion of a wide angle lens when photographing a gun. Too many gun images are distorted because the photographer is too close ... and I see a lot of guy's feet at the bottom of the picture.

..''"I've noticed that the M14 and M21 rifle pictures on this site aren't really that great..."''
:Done. Hope you like :) I will get some pics of M21s soon.

..''"Thanks for fixing up that page, I was told by MT2008 it was a Colt Launcher, I guess it was a Cobray. ..."''
: I inundated MT2008 with info that there was no Colt launcher. Personally I didn't know who made or updated the page, he just sent me a note asking my opinion ... and SLAM! I dumped a bunch of stuff on him questioning the Colt claim. good thing he didn't get offended. hahaha I just responded to his query on my talk page. :)

..''"Finding the pictures of them was probably the hardest thing on the page. Do you think we should keep the M203 to launcher comparison picture or is it irrelevant? -GM.."''
: The net has CRAPPY images. It's really hard, which is why I just pull out the stuff myself and take my own photos of it. I liked the idea of keeping a reference image. I am tempted to take a side by side pic myself (and not violate anyone else's copyright) and keep the clean white backdrop of the other pics. But I do have a couple of pics comparing them on the M16 page, i.e. mounted on rifles.

::''Yeah, the "Colt 37mm Flare Launcher" thing is completely my fault. I dunno why I thought they were made by Colt, but I swore I heard that term somewhere on the 'Net. Just goes to show why fact-checking is always mucho importante! But seriously, I'm glad MPM is always here to catch my goofs. See, GM, that's kinda how it works...I catch yours, he catches mine, and then everything works out for the better.'' -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]

==Last Action Hero==
I remember working peripherally (I helped out on some of the props, but wasn't on the armory staff at the time) on that film. Everyone DURING production was moaning about how dumb it was. And it was pretty dumb. I guess the people (NOT the stars) who work on films can actually tell if a movie is stinker when it's actually being filmed, I remember all of us laughing at the RAMBO III script when we saw it. Anyway, I will look for that pistol, but I'm not making any promises. I sure don't have one and off the top of my head, I don't know anyone who does. But I can ask around.

Also, Just a note, I really think that the MAC-10 in the film is actually MAC-11s (or possibly Cobray M11s, but I can't see how long the receivers are). They're much too small to be MAC-10s. I have average sized hands and MAC-10s are monstrously huge in my hands. Unless those stuntmen are giants, I think those are MAC-11s. Also it's funny that you DID note what I said about TEC-DC9s (being that they were usually seen in films after 1990). Apparently someone was listening. hahahaha. :) But those in the photos of Arnold, are in fact TEC-9s, not TEC-DC9s. they have the sling mount in front so they're TEC-9s. Also I don't remember if they fired full auto in the film, but as far as I know, all the TEC-DC9s in Hollywood inventory are semi auto only. All the full auto ones are legal full auto conversions of TEC-9s. Only Miami Vice and a couple of other shows in the early 1980s used the old InterDynamics KG-99s. But most of the full auto guns you see are TEC-9s.

I own M21s, but they're in pieces. I have to reassemble them, get a cool scope to put on them. Also we have M21s that just came back from Iraq, I can also take some pics of those.

== Training Day Revolver ==

You want evidence, and an argument, you got one. First off, The S&W Model 66 is made of stainless steel, and not carbon steel plated with nickel. Model 19s were originally released with blue or nickel finishes.
Second, A snub nosed, round butt Model 19 is a dime a dozen across the states. Here's a picture resembling the one from Training Day.
[[Image:SW19SN.jpg]]

Look at the picture on the Training Day page, and they look identical, very identical, more so than any Taurus I have seen, or can find on the internet. No it doesn't have the emblem on the side, but that can be sanded off, photoshopped, or just not visible. None of us KNOW what this is, but I do KNOW my argument and my gun makes the most sense, above an Instant Backup, above a lot of things. Thank you for your time.

:It's awesome! And I have it in the Main Page "Featured Article" feed, too, so lots of people will get to see the overhaul. I always like it when I see a page that makes me want to watch a movie again, and this one is like that. Those Garand shots make me want to buy the M1 that I saw on sale this weekend (but...saving my $$$$ for the long dreamed-of P226 again).

:Anyway, I'll look more later, but must watch Presidential debate now.

::I've always loved the way the Garand ejects the stripper clip on the last round. My grandfather's a vet, and he's told me that he used to find it scary. But I find it oddly appealing in a retro-sorta way. If you get to play around with an original GI-issue M1, lucky you.

:::The Garand photos are really cool. As far as banning anonymous users from editing goes, I dunno. Seems a bit harsh. But at the very least, we really do need to have more moderators on hand.

re: gun pics. I do have those guns but it takes time to do the photos. I am going to get new pics of actual M16A2s, a3s and a4s, sure some look alike but I'll try to get some good detail shots of the receivers if I remember. I went to the vault to take pics of the original m1911s and they're not there. I have to check with other people to see where they were moved.

Ah, OK. Well, understood then. It sucks when the director doesn't show good views of the actor/actress with a particular gun, but it's fine. Just a suggestion.

Nice work so far on ''[[Kelly's Heroes‎]]''. While you're doing that, I think I'm going to get started soon on ''[[Where Eagles Dare]]''.

==On Kelly's Heroes==
I'm sure you know this but Pt. Petuko is carrying an FN model D machine gun, completely the WRONG machine gun to be carrying. Also the leather Thompson Submachine gun magazine pouches aren't American but Yugoslavian Post war (1950s manufacture). Americans had khaki canvas Thompson stick pouches. MPM2008

==M1911s==
Per your request...Check out the new M1911 pics. I scored some really nice ones, a 1913 dated M1911 (original blued finish) and a World War 2 wartime dated M1911A1. I replaced some of the pics of repros in the original sections with those. Check it out. Thanks. MPM2008.

== Need some help ==

Hello, I just added a few more guns in The Unit page and I need some help IDing some of them that I can't seem to put my finger on. Care to give me a hand if you can?

-Excaliber

== Are you sure? ==

You changed the section in The Unit from a Ruger MK II to this HDM gun. Are you sure this is the same weapon? The photo you added barely looks like the one in the series.

::What about the Mossberg? It didn't quite look like the Express Deer model.

==Reign of Fire==
I have no clue as to what that gun is. I don't have any opportunities to talk to John McKenna being that he's exclusively in Europe and I don't even know if he's ever visited the U.S. If you ever figure out what the gun is, I can try to see if anyone has it, but all the .577s I've seen are double rifles and not bolt action rifles. MPM2008

==577 pic==
Congrats on the pic!!! :) I did not know anything about that gun. As you probably well figured out by now, I don't own one, nor does my company. But I can start asking around to see if any of the armorers have one so that I can take a beauty shot of it. Good job. MPM2008

== The Punisher ==

The guy who made The Punisher page is never on anymore, so I would say you can indeed redo it, it needs a revamp. Just promise me you'll break up the additional weapons section on that page, I can't stand when people cram a bunch of different weapons into one section like that, it has nothing to do with things you do like the Armory section on [[Hard Boiled]] because you branch out. Also did you get my message on The [[Sin City]] talk page? Thanks in advance for the revamp.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I just uploaded some new [[Dawn of the Dead (2004)]] screenshots, and I want to know if you can take a look at the custom Remington 870 section of the page, and help me confirm that it is an 870, I'm sure it is, but just want to make sure because MPM2008 says he's going to get a picture of a shotgun in a similar configuration eventually, and he says it appears to have Mossberg style ghost ring sights, and also can Mossberg sights be put on an 870? Thanks in advance.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 03:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

==Ak recog==
Interesting Idea on the AK recog page. I will keep it in mind. Right now a lot of the AKs are customized into weird configs but they will eventually be put back to stock version. The only problem right now is that there are tons of post 1999 AK variants (Hungarians, Polish, Romanian, US made, etc.) that I don't have access to. California banned all AK models after Dec 31st 1999, but we could get them with a special permit, but 99.99% of the guys (myself included) didn't bother picking up any of the new AK models since we already had dozens upon dozens of the older 1980s version AKs. Like Sacha Robey's .223 AKs for Casino Royale, many of the foreign movies have access to AKs that are not imported into the U.S. I will look into getting page for the most common AK examples but usually there are the Maadi ARM(MISRS), Poly Tech Legends, Norinco Type 56, Romanian AIMS or Hungarian SA85s. That's about it for most of the AKs I've seen (and usually they are all 'dressed up' to look like other models if necessary). Again, interesting idea and I will start making note of and taking pics of AKs for that page.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

== ''Jarhead'' M60E3 ==

The real-life M1 Abrams has never been fitted with any variant of the [[M60 machine gun]], it has always had two [[FN MAG#M240 Machine Gun|M240 machine gun]]s; one mounted in a 'coaxial' configuration parallel to the main 120mm gun, and a second mounted at the Loader's hatch. The [[Browning M2]] heavy machine gun at the Commander's hatch is correct though. If you look at my userpage on here, there's a picture of a real M1A1 in Iraq, the Loader's M240 being clearly visible. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:12, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Orca1_9904

::Have to run out for a bit, but I'll be back later and do it then.

::BTW, just so you know, the round you see ejecting out of Harris's 1911 in the film isn't a live round, and it wasn't edited. That's what full-flash motion picture blanks look like after being fired. The extra powder has to be packed into an extension of the brass that might look like an actual projectile. Some guns have to have their ejection ports widened in order to function properly with these, though I don't believe 1911s do. You'd have to ask MPM2008 about this, as I'm sure I'm getting the details partially wrong in some way. -MT2008

==thanks==

Thanks for the congrats. Here is a picture of the P226 that the guy who's selling it sent me:

[[Image:MyP226.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]

It's a bit roughed up externally (which is to be expected, considering it's probably 15 years old), and I'll probably need to re-blue the hammer, but at $450, it was a pretty good deal (gun + three 15-round mags and a replacement short trigger). Plus, in my opinion, the stamped slide SIGs are of better quality than the ones with cheaply-milled American slides that SIG-Sauer produces today.

Most of my extended family (grandparents, cousins, aunt and uncle) are in New York, so I know what you mean about the gun laws there. Although I'm applying for a Master's program at NYU next year, in which case, I'll be in a worse situation. And yes, I do agree with that I'm very concerned about Biden being the VP. Obama may be the most left-wing president we've ever had once he takes office, but I expect him to be far too preoccupied with the economy and the wars (as well as the Russians) to care much about gun control. Biden, on the other hand, could be a very different story. I remember feeling terribly worried when I heard Obama chose him as VP - for precisely the reason you've mentioned! If he tries to push a new AWB through, it will definitely get through Congress, and Obama will sign it into law. I'm actually trying to persuade my dad, who cares very little for assault weapons, to buy an AR15 variant sometime before Obama gets into office. We definitely have some rough times ahead. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:29, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

:Eh, my dad mostly likes guns for "historical" value, as opposed to guns that are "tacticool", so if you can convince him a gun has historical value, he might get interested in it. That was the argument I used when I was 18 and trying to persuade him to let me buy an AK (which damn near gave my very-liberal mother an aneurism). Once I bought it and he had the chance to shoot it, he did become fascinated with the Kalashnikov, mostly just because he admires their ruggedness and simplicity and the fact that it's been such an important weapon in 20th century combat. But he doesn't seem to have as much enthusiasm for the evil black guns with polymer parts, like ARs or H&Ks.

:As far as politics go, no worries. I'm pretty sure most people on this site feel the same way about Biden right now. I know I sure do. It's too bad we got him when we could've had a pro-RKBAer like Palin. Except that Palin's kind of a ditz and I don't really care too much about shit like banning gay marriage or teaching creationism in schools. But still...

:BTW, very nice job on the ''[[Last Man Standing]]'' page! Though I would recommend maybe being a ''little'' less exhaustive when it comes to screencaps. I know it's always tempting to use everything you've taken...every time I screencap a movie for IMFDB, I take probably three or four times the numbers of screencaps I actually wind up using on the page. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:27, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
::I must concur with MT2008, the screen caps are beautiful, but there seem to be too many of the same sequence or gun. No offense intended, but it takes a long time to scroll down the page to see the 'Next' firearm used. When I screencap, I end up discarding all but the most clear shots of the guns.

Hey bro, in the video games section, the game "The World Is Not Enough (video game)" should be changed to 007: The World Is Not Enough

I'm new to this site and you're the only admin I come across. Hope you can show me around.

edit: Thanks for the reply bro. appreciate it. will let you know if i need help.

==FYI==
Nearly all blank adapted M16 variants in movies use the old style M16A1 birdcage flashhider. Directors want to the see the 'star pattern' full flash and the A2 style birdcage flashhiders with the solid bottom looks stupid with the high flash blanks. Don't know if you noticed by all of my A2s and (most of the M4s that are already blank adapted) have the A1 style flash hider. Also this is obvious in screengrabs of movies like Cloverfield, where there is obvious flash going downwards (which would not be the case if a real A2 flash hider was used). I will try to get an SP1 with a 30 round mag and an m203 for you. I 'may' be able to score that original weird fake M203 from someone who has one (they were made by Special Effects Unlimited in the late 1970s and aren't like anything commercially available now. In fact they were made before there were any unrestricted M203 look a likes available.) Nowadays everyone uses the Cobray/SWD ones. Good work.

==Hollowpoint==
I've been looking at that Hollowpoint page for a while. I spoke to MT2008 a while ago, and mentioned that we had a bunch of Type 84s in weird configurations and that I was going to restore them. After shooting the one in the classic Type 84 config, I was looking at a stripped barreled receiver and quickly put on some other wood and replaced the standard front site with a type 56 underfolding spike bayonet front end. That barrel's end was milled down anyway (which I don't like but a lot of the military guns were like that). I like threaded barrels so that I can put any flash hider or muzzle brake that I want. I finally got a pic uploaded and now IMFDB is the only site on the entire internet that has the "Hollowpoint rifle" or at least I think. So the short answer is that I made the gun to be identical to the movie gun. Dave Young is a canadian armorer (or at least works 99% of the time in Montreal) and I've seen a lot of weird hybrid guns in the Canadian armorer circles.

== American Gangster page ==

Hey bro in the American Gangster page, it says Denzel Washington is wielding a 1911. But when you go to Denzel's page, it says Denzel is using the browning hi-power. Please clarify.

==the subject of "dibbs"==
Don't want to cause controversy, but I am not comfortable with the concept of calling Dibbs on the pages. Since any member or new visitor has the right to make their contributions, it seems like pre=emptively telling new members 'don't touch this page'. Sure you or anyone else can fix someone else's screw ups or replace crappy screen caps with good ones, IMHO it may send the wrong message that there is only the 'elite few' who can touch some pages. Sure, I don't like it when people "fix" the pages that I worked on (especially the ones that were blank before I spent my time fixing it), but I do have the power (as do you) to remove inaccurate or silly input. I have replaced low res or bad screencaps (look at what I did on "The spirit") and it didn't bother me when someone rushed out an redid the "Iron man" page before I could get to it (I Pre-ordered and purchased the DVD just for screengrabbing purposes, but my job got busy, and someone beat me to it and I didn't mind because they did a good job). Anyway, that's my opinion. You do a great job on screencaps (albeit I'm one of those that think there are too many images of the exact same gun on the page, but that's just my opinion. Others like Alienqueen for example, seem to love the many images, so who knows?) Hopefully we can encourage and guide new members to make good screen caps and contributions as well. anyway that's just an opinion. I think we can always see if new members want to try their hand at working on pages. Chances are most won't, so we will end up doing it anyway. But I would prefer the 'perception' that we encourage people of 'good intentions' (versus the idiot vandals) to contribute to the site. Anyway, thats just an opinion.

I think this is the most pristine shot of an AK-104 ever on the net! ;) And only IMFDB has it. :) hahaha. The only inaccuracy is that I didn't have the bakelite 7.62 magazines that are correct on this model, so I used a Bulgarian Waffle Pattern Magazine. If you think it's too inaccurate then I will try to find a mag and repost the image.

::The only thing really bugging me is the stock. The buttstock is a converted synthetic AK74 (made to fold) but the sling swivel is on the wrong side and the big gap for the scope mount on the stock is not there. I am waiting for a shipment of the real buttstock for the 104. That's a movie gun so it's not a perfect example of the real world AK104. I'll put a note that this is will be rephotographed when I get the correct magazine and buttstock.

There you go, I cut the black bars off the [[Hostage]] screenshots for you, I really like that Two Tone Beretta 92FS, I asked MPM2008 if he could get a picture of one like that. Anyway, the screenshots may look wierd at first, but that will fix itself soon. Great work on [[Hot Fuzz]] so far.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:30, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

It always does that when I do an image overwrite, don't know why though. It will look distorted or squished, or still look like the old image for a little while before it finally changes to the newer version.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 02:42, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:FG421stPattern.jpg|thumb|none|600px|FG42 1st pattern rifle - 7.92mm]]
Well you wouldn't see it in any American weapons catalogue. :) It was issued only to German Paratroopers of Nazi germany. Very few were made and BTW they're full auto guns. Imagine firing a rifle at your shoulder that dumps a 20 round box magazine of full sized 8mm Mauser rounds (!) on another note, I've been trying to get pics of the imperial Japanese guns (like the Type 100 or Type 97 MGs) for a while now. Stembridge used to have tons of them :( you know, I make a note of some of the pages you do, and the ones with lots of details, I make a list to try and get good examples of the guns. I still can't get a stainless 5906. But I'll still keep trying. I like your Hot fuzz page. Usually I try to get the gun to look just like the ones used in the movie (like the AMD-65 I did for the Rambo III page or the "Hollowpoint" Type 84).

==Movies to screengrab==
I sure hope Mr. & Mrs Smith and TAPS are on your list. I am more curious which version of Mr. & Mrs. Smith you might have. I now know there are two (2) versions. the one I have is the original theatrical release, which is missing about 5 minutes of battle scenes from the television cut. I hope you have the other one, or have access to it. There are firearms shots in the longer version that I can't screen grab. best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:38, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the page. Funny that we were working on the same page at exactlyi the same time. hahaha. Well I got some original props from the movie, including my own rig from the battle scenes (but I'm too fat now to fit into it anymore hahahaha). My own Morita Rifle from the movie is pretty beat up, but now I have motivation to repair it and photograph it for the continuing Glory of IMFDB.

==tropic thunder==
I'll try to get you a Colt Sporter II in the exact configuration of Tropic Thunder very soon. It's on my list of things to do (along with redoing all the Colt carbine shots with the new digital camera (some of the older shots were with an old film camera and scanned on a flat bed scanner). Also you're right about the closeness of the blank firing pistol to be dangerous, but it's not that bad. The rule of thumb is 15 feet (but we try to get them to divert the angle so it's off axis and we also warn them that unburnt powder can still hit your eyes.). In the shot with Jack Black, it doesn't look too bad. We've done closer than 15 feet, but we take special precautions. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 21:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

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

==You're not gonna believe this==
I MAY have tracked down a custom .577 T-Rex to photograph. Still want it? Since they are usually custom built, some of the minor design details might be slightly different. normally I wouldn't care, but I was looking through a rack of another guy's armory and I asked "what's that gun?" and he quipped, oh a .577..... It just doesn't have a scope mounted yet. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:20, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

==On some of your pics==
Hope you don't mind, on some of your gun pics (the guns I don't have access to just yet) I was going to 'color correct' them and remove some of the excessive 'white space' around them. I was just going to get rid of any 'greenish' or yellow or bluish tints and make the colors more correct and reload them. So if you see some pics that have been reloaded, some of them are just the same pic but 'color corrected'. regards. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 18:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey GM45, do you by any chance have [[Smokin' Aces]]? If you do, is there a possibility you can put it on your to do list?

Yeah, sure, that would be fine. Mine are OK, but kinda low-res. I would definitely prefer higher-res alternative.

It's a very simple change to block anonymous users from making any edits, how to stop them from just making new pages I haven't quite figured out... I think we may just try disallowing edits from anonymous users for a while - my worry is that we will lose potential newcomers who may not understand they have to register first, I'll need to figure out a way to display a message to anonymous users that they must register first...

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

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

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

Since you made it and put effort into it, I won't complain any more, but I thought you must realize how I feel towards improvised weapons. I lump them in the same category as a crowbar (weapon used in Half life), a rock, a stick or a brick. Sure Video games use them as weapons, but they don't deserve the page that a known firearm or munition does since no one will ever wonder what country they came from, who made them, what their history or caliber is, or what version or variation is being used. IMHO [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 21:42, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

==.PNG Images==

Yeah, I use .pngs in place of traditional .jepgs. They take a while to load, but they're a lot clearer and less pixelated, and with the low res 90s movies I build pages for, I need all the clarity I can get.

==Thinking of overwriting some of the Thompson Pics==

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

Someone has to draw the line. This guy Don whatever. He just posted a NEW flash animation on this site. What the hell? I've see the pics or trash that resembles pictures of guns and he thinks those are what they are? Is he high or some punk kid that thinks it's so cool that it deserves to be on this site. Sift Head and that other flash animation thing, Taegukgi. Those are pardon my language, pieces of shit that are NOT worthy of this place that some of us hold with respect. Yeah, they seem entertaining, but if we decide to let something this slide, then whose to stop from putting other flash animations that have "drawings" of guns on them because "Oh they have guns, so therefore they should be on this site". I want to remove it, but I like a majority vote instead of me acting pissed of. I'm asking everyone else their thoughts. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

:Hey, anime deserves to be on this site just as much as games. Most of them were drawn from concept to the us watching them, down to the very details. Gunslinger girls, Ghost in the Shell, Black Lagoon. The artists of those series took their time and effort to make then guns that appear to be as authentic as possible when they can and that in itself deserves respect in a site like this dedicate to cataloging guns from movies and shows we've seen. Anime that do draw the guns so realistic deserves to be on the same respect level as we respect the armorers for the movies and shows. Anime is a real work of art. These flash animations are just attempts at art and failing, only providing us with cheap and a lot of time free entertainment.

==T2==
I will review it in detail later re the length or the trivia, but at a glance it looks very interesting :) . But I did make a note to myself take pics of the Colt Sporters used in the film. I got those configurations. You were right in that the slab side is just a Colt Sporter Carbine with the barrel chopped down. The "Commando" with the forward assist is the Colt Sporter II, again converted. I also have to replace some of my M16 pics since they are 'custom' guns that aren't indicative of the 'classic' models (like the 733, etc.)

BTW: I replaced the USP45 amongst other guns. I am also working on new FNC pics. The problem is that there are multiple versions of the FNC. The ones imported into the U.S. were the (a) FNC 223 Rem Sporter (the semi auto import version with a bayonet lug and thin sling ring), (b) the later model FNC 223 Rem Sporter with NO bayonet lug and thicker forward sling ring, (c) the FNC Para Sporter. Then there is the real deal, the Belgian full auto FNC Early model and the FNC Para model. And now there is a newer model FNC rifle with some design changes and the newer model FNC Para rifle. More modern movies filmed overseas would have the all Belgian guns. American movies would have the U.S. Imported variants. I'm trying to get pics of each type.

Check this out: :) You're the FIRST to see this puppy! :)

==Screencaps on Commando==
I know you like pages with tons and tons and tons of screencaps (so does Alienqueen, I think). And I've made it obvious in the past that I really don't like having so many screencaps on a page. I think it makes the page massive and unwieldy and hard to look at. But that's my opinion and my taste. I prefer to have no more than four images on a page. Recently some member added TONS of pics to my Dogs of War page. Way TOO many images and I think it made the page look clumsy. But I would appreciate NOT adding tons of new screencaps to pages that I essentially built up myself, just like I wouldn't delete any of the photos for the pages that you did from scratch. It's just a matter of taste, I know, but I don't like having a lot of pics of the same gun over and over again. I think it belabors the point and (especially for members with slower internet connections) it slows down the viewing of the page. (case in point, I thought that having over fourteen screenshots of Bruce willis and his M1911 in Last Man Standing was just too much, but that was your page and I'm not prone to criticize based on my "page layout" sensibilities.

==Re: Lord of War==

Eh, depends. Main question is, how ''many'' additional screencaps do you want to add? I really would prefer you not add a ridiculous amount of extra screencaps, like 20 shots per gun, the way you've been doing on some of your pages. I think it's been getting a little bit out of control lately, so if you want to work more on that page, I'd rather you limit yourself to something like 6 shots per gun at most. Especially since the ''[[Lord of War]]'' page is one of the site's most popular.

::I see that I'm not the only one who isn't fond of too many shots of the same gun on a page. It makes the page way too big and unwieldy. I certainly don't love endlessly scrolling down just to see what the NEXT gun entry is. I don't mean to diminish the hard work done, but there is a limit to how many screenshots should be on a gun's section of the page. You've been doing a LOT better in reigning in the sheer number of screencaps. I must give fair warning any additional screenshots on pages that I've done 99% of the work on, I reserve the right to start editing out images if I think there are too many of them. Anyway, other than that issue, you've done tons of great work. I was thinking of requesting that members start taking a second look at orphaned pages, i.e. pages with no screenshots at all before we start adding tons of new pages. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:45, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Also, which guns did I miss? The only ones I forgot to make an entry for are the M16A1 with A2 handguards and the Galil AR used by two of the Lebanese militiamen. I suppose I could also make a section for the inside of Yuri's container, although most of the guns in there are guns that appear elsewhere in the movie. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:47, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering, in the "James Bond Actor" category page, should we limit it to actors who've played James Bond himself, or should we allow 'supporting' actors such as Bond girls (ie, [[Halle Berry]] & [[Honor Blackman]]) and villians (such as [[Robert Carlyle]] & [[Gert Fröbe]])? I'm proposing this to several admins and would like to get some feedback on this before making a decision. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 22:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

== The Godfather ==

Thanks, ''[[The Godfather]]'' is a great movie deserving of a full imfdb page! To answer your question about the gun used in the "Leave the gun..." scene, I tried to see what it was when I was screencapping it a few nights ago but I believe the shot was too far away to capture one. It's possible that some DVD players might be able to zoom in with a good enough resolution to see what it might be, but mine doesn't have the capability. I wish you luck finding it though, I'd be curious to know myself! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

Blocked him already. I don't tolerate this kind of bullshit at all when it's some random guy who has never made a useful contribution.

Sorry I've been away for so long...just got back from DC. I'll look over what's transpired the last few days. But nice job on ''[[Get Smart]]''! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

:Yes, I was actually in DC for Obama's inauguration, as I told MPM in a brief post to his wall. And no, I am not at all a fan of our new President, and less so the VP. But my Mom (who is a liberal) was really excited and wanted me to come, and you know...I couldn't hurt Mom's feelings. Plus, my boss at the law firm where I work (also one of my Mom's friends) was able to book me at a really nice hotel (the Sofitel, where Edward Norton and Dennis Hopper also stayed), ''and'' I got two days off from work, ''and'' I got to hang out in DC for the first time in over 10 years. So, regardless of how I feel about our country swearing in its most left-wing President ever, the trip was still worthwhile.

:Oh, yeah, and the best part is...Obama's speech really was inspiring to me. It has inspired me to save more and more of my paychecks so that I can buy that nice new M4gery I've always wanted to own...before he and Biden ban them forever. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 00:53, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

== Good suggestions! ==

Thanks, I'd always been a big fan of ''[[The Getaway (1972)]]'' so I decided to start re-screencapping it. I could do a few more but I wasn't sure on the protocol on replacing another user's images. (Also, thanks for adding the year; I have a DVD of the 1994 version coming in the mail so I'll be screencapping that as well. I hear it's not quite as up to par as the other but any movie is worth an article here). And yeah, I should probably add some info. I have a huge list of movies I plan on building/screencapping/improving, etc. so it'd be better if I got that name up there in blue. Thanks! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]
:That would be awesome if you could protect it. Thanks! [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

== re: The Untouchables ==

Thanks! Whenever you get a chance, do you think you might be able to review some of the Model 10s and shotguns on there? I'm wondering if a few of the revolvers listed as Model 10s are something else (though nothing I could quickly identify) and I just want to make sure I got the shotguns straight (I only know a few things about differentiating 1897s from 1912s). Thank you and good luck with Mail Call! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]
:Thank you for the revolver help. I knew the front sight was off, as well as other things on the frame, but I didn't want to make a poor guess. I believe you're right about the Police Positives. Thanks again! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

== Mail Call ==

Nice photos but the ones that are listed as M1917 on aircraft are not correct. The Machine gun on the Folker EIII is a Maxim LMG08/15 Air Cooled machine gun built by Spandau. The LMG in LMG08/15 stands for Luft Maschinen Gewehr or Air Machine Gun in english.

Nice job on Mail Call. When you get to the episode on the Colt Potato Digger machine gun I have some info on that. Also I will see if I can scan my challenge coin that R. Lee gave me for the site.

I made some edits to it but they got erased. Why? I'm still working on screencapping yet, i didn't have enough time to add gun pics and you didn't add them. P.S When will you be getting season 3-8? [[User:Drjuki]]

Oh, ok. I thought you ment don't add any seasons since you were going to do that. I didn't know you were going to through the earlier seasons. You know who. Drjuki.

== The Untouchables ==

Photo of Nickel pistol held by Kevin Costner and Billy Drago is a Star Model B. The show also had some Colt Official Police .38 revolvers and a Welbey in .455 caliber used by the RCMP.

== XXX ==

Thats a M61 Vulcan mounted under the chopper. The special features in the film has it wrong. There are only two Vulcans in the industry at this time. They have been converted to blank fire and used in [[Armageddon]], [[XXX]] and [[Death Race]]. I have hadled they and see them and the helicopter mount about once a week. Look at the size of the weapon mounted to the copper and minigun. The gun under the chopper is twice as long as the minigun. Also compare the photo from XXX to the gunship from [[We Were Soldiers]] that we had two miniguns mount on.

== Video Games ==

Armorers work on video games consist of four parts. Part one is foley work sound department records every noise the weapons action makes without firing. Part two is live firing the weapon at private range with eight to ten mics surrounding the shooter and several more located down range. Part Three is have each weapon photographed and film in the firing position for the digital modeling. Part Four is firing at items with a suppressed weapon to record impacts for the game. To most people this would sound like a lot of fun but it has to be one of the most stressful events for a armorer since there is no breaks other than to change weapons. Most of the time games have about 20 to 30 different weapons in them and all this is done between one and three days. The shooter can not move, breath or make any noise while firing as the mics will pick it up.

== Iron Man CAR15 ==

In the photo with the line of rifles it states it has a commercial CAR15 flash hider. I really it is an M4 carbine with a Surefire suppressor flash hider BFA. I built those BFA's for that show. [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

== M60E1 machine gun ==

I went back and checked to see if our M60's were of the E1 configuration. We had 18 on We Were Soldiers and they were all standard M60's. Then I checked out a sight that had a photo of the M60E1 and that is completely different system. Check it out at this website http://www.warboats.org/stonerordnotes/M60%20GPMG%20R5.html. -[[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

== M1 Garand question ==

I have a question about the M1-C Garand and M1-D Garand, do you load them like you would the M1 Garand? and does the En Bloc clip pop out of them too after the last round is fired? I'm not sure because the scope seems to right above where the En Bloc clip pops out. Thanks for any answers in advance.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 04:37, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

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

I'm going to visit some buddies who have a lot more stuff than I do and I was wondering if you had any more special request pics. I have them on my user page at the top, but I wanted to make sure that you knew that I was 'taking orders' to see if these guys have any pristine versions of these guns that i could photograph. Thanks. Let me know your 'request list'. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:41, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

==Request list==
Good thing you mentioned the Winchester 1866 with the forearm and without, or else I would have forgotten about it. Again, don't know if the guys with these weapons even want to take the time to let me snap some pro photos, but it doesn't hurt to ask. As for the '''M60''', I got one myself and are looking at it right now, but it's fubared, i.e. the plastic trigger group got cracked and I did a patch job on the rear end (and haven't bothered to fully fix it. Also it's REALLY beat up and I am still looking for one in decent shape. Here is a cropped snap shot of it taken some years ago on a movie set. One of the young actors was holding it near the crafts services table and I took a snapshot. here it is. But I will try to fix it up prior to IMFDB photography ;)
[[Image:M60SnapShotOnSet.jpg]]
:Nope, just an extra. He treated the gun great though. There was always guys who listen to the on set armorer and then there are they guys you gotta watch like a hawk. MPM

==Re:Hitman==

Actually, I only have the regular Unrated DVD. Mine doesn't seem to come with a whole lot of special features besides Deleted Scenes. If you want to add the screencaps of the armorer showing off the guns, that's fine by me. Also, I think I'm going to keep some of the publicity stills. I prefer to keep those whenever they show a better view of the gun than appears in the movie. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:07, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I also notice that the photo go all over the place as in the Death Race posting without the left or right. It works on a couple of other wikis but all are different. I will put up a representative photo for each weapon shortly. Thanks. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

==Re:Hitman==

It looks great! Nice job! Too bad I didn't get the proper version, but I only spent $7 for this movie (used) at Half-Price Books. I don't think I would have wanted to spend more than that. Anyway, it does seem like this weapons coordinator was kind of a douche. I imagine armorers in Bulgaria aren't really held to the same standards as their American counter-parts.

Oh, yeah, and I think there may be one other weapon type in the film I missed (besides the myriad assortment of handguns on the table at Udre's place which I would never be able to figure out. It looks like two of Udre's guards are using MP7s just before 47 takes them out with his MP5s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:59, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

== Re: ''The Iron Giant'' ==

I have the movie, although on VHS instead of DVD, otherwise I would have screencapped it. There's some other weapons used by the soldiers (rifles and a pistol fired by Gen. Rogard), but wasn't sure if they were based enough on any real weapons to be included (the rifles looked like the bastard children of an M1 Garand and an M14). If you can screencap the film for me, feel free. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 02:42, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

==Shoot 'Em Up.==

Great Job on the Shoot 'Em Up page. Just a couple of quick thoughts:

- Don't be so hard on the movie. The entire thing was basically one feature-length Looney Tunes cartoon...if Quentin Tarantino had written one.

- Doesn't Smith use a USP Compact during his sex scene with DQ/shootout, or is that the same USP? If so, then I'm going to assume that you don't have shots of that...for obvious reasons. --[[User:Clutch|Clutch]] 02:52, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

==SIG==

Whoops, sorry if I missed that. Anyway, the answer is that yes, "SIG-Sauer" is correct. SIG is an acronym for ''Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft'' (Swiss Industrial Society), while Sauer is shorthand for the German firm J. P. Sauer und Sohn GmbH. In other words, "SIG" is an acronym, while "Sauer" is not, so it's appropriate to capitalize all letters of "SIG".

However, if you open that can of worms, just remember that in all fairness, I or other users could also '''replace''' any of your screengrabs on any page you built when we please as well.

==Norinco SKS Sporter==
Rosario Dawson doesn't have an SKS-D. She has a Norinco SKS Sporter which has the thumbhole stock and the shorter paratrooper barrel. the SKS-M is nearly identical but the ones marked "Sporter" have a slightly different thumbhole design (and which model she has exactly is hard to see because her hand is in the buttstock nearly all the time), but both the SKS-M and the "Norinco SKS Sporter" are thumbhole, paratrooper length barreled SKS designed to take factory AK mags, like the D model. The D Model is a standard full length SKS that takes AK mags. Frankly, I've never seen these in any real foreign warzone. Only at gunshows in the U.S. But the SKS-D was used by Chinese police alot in the 1980s and 1990s.

==Blank revolvers==
Don't know what you mean about the primers, but we don't adapt any revolvers to fire blanks. No need to. I have never had a problem with primers unless the loading process was messed up or the blanks were bad. Also recoil (too much or not enough) should have no effect on the primers. So I have fired hundreds of different revolvers with literally thousands of blanks (everything from .45 LC - .38 sp - 44 mag - .357 mag - .38 short - etc. etc. ) and never ran into any difficulty. What type of blanks were you firing? MPM

==The Rundown==
BTW, spectacular job on filling out the rest of the Rundown.

==Legends of the Fall==
I corrected your discription of the weapons that Brad Pitt is carrying over his shoulder. The weapon is a Holland and Holland 10ga. Paradox used to hunt big game with 10 gauge slug. The barrels are smoth bores except for the final 2 inches before the muzzle were they are rifled. It is a rare weapon as most of which have been destroyed due over pressure from the unique design. I built the buttplate for that weapon as the wanted a brass buttplate on it. The weapon came form Ellis Mercantile- [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]
: I will check my old photo from Ellis to see if I have one. Holland and Holland were going to reissue the Paradox with different material for the barrels and new style rifling. The bullets were cast in the prop shop at Ellis using a pattern I made on the lathe and glued into original brass 10ga shells.

==Street Kings==

Hey,

I was just wondering if you'd be OK letting me add a few more shots to the ''[[Street Kings]]'' page. And I literally just mean a few:

*(1.) Two more shots (good ones) of Tom Ludlow with his S&W 4506.
*(2.) A better shot of Diskant with his Glock 17 when he and Tom go to the house where the real Fremont and Coates are buried.
*(3.) A shot of the fake Fremont reaching for his own Glock (which looks to be another -17) when Tom kills him during the climactic shootout.

Would that be OK?

Also, I watched the scene again where Tom kills the Koreans, and as best I can tell, the S&W 4506's muzzle flashes are not digitally added. The gun cycles and ejects spent blanks, just as I would expect.

:Got shots of the R9, as well as more of the armory guns (there are M4s as well as M16s in there). I still couldn't figure out what kind of shotgun Coates ([[Common]]) uses, or the Korean slaver. Your guesses are as good as mine. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:49, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

The Colt 1878 Shotgun you have listed for the show is incorrect. The shotgun is a 10 gauge supplied by Ellis Mercantile for the film.

==Dust hit gun==
It's called a Sweeney gun and I have used it. The best features of that gun are the constant air feed and the variable full auto fire mode. The Dust balls are basically clear transparent paint ball containers that are full of 'Fuller's earth'. I don't use the Sweeney gun. It's basically a really EXPENSIVE paintball gun. I opt to use a standard paintball gun myself and shoot much closer to the action, but don't tell anyone that. It's way cheaper. Also those dust balls are really expensive. (think about 2$ a shot) As are the "Sparking" balls. Special effects houses also make full glass balls (these are all the same size as paintballs) which are designed to shatter windows and then the glass balls shatter themselves, thus 'masking' the source of the shatter (good for people's houses that you don't like) and metallic balls which blow out Car windows. MPM

==Review on Wanted==
You asked me a long time ago to review your WANTED page, and I deferred, primarily because I glanced at it briefly and saw that it might have spoilers. Now that I have seen the film I went back to the page. You did a lot of hard work and it shows. Also I was a bit horrified at the sheer amount of spoilers in the page. I would never DELETE a photo of yours on a page you built, since that seems to be an unwritten rule. I WILL delete unnecessary photos on pages that I built. I am probably going to delete all pics of Kenneth Johnson from my Rambo page ... this guy was just the head propmaster. He wasn't the armorer and this guy doesn't know anything about guns. All the armorers I know are disgusted and he (being the glory hound that he is) insisted on doing the DVD Featurette commentary on guns. the real armorers aren't even mentioned, which disgusted me. '''Anyway, back to topic, I would request that you remove the pics of Cross dying in that it is a major spoiler. ''' I fixed some of the written spoilers in that I think that the page doesn't suffer if we don't know the plot twists. Like revealing that '''Darth Vader is Luke's father''', some of these points aren't necessary. I was actually really glad I avoided the page previously since I was actually surprised at the betrayal and truth. I was surprised who Cross really was and what his motivation was. I was surprised at Fox's true test of faith and sacrifice and I was happy at the comeuppance of Sloan (the decoy surprised me completely). The entire movie experience would have been ruined if I had all those plot twists spoiled for me. For people looking up the guns (who have seen the film already), the non-spoiler explanations are good enough and clearly show what guns were in the film. Anyway, that was my input and opinion. Other than my own gripes with spoilers in general, excellent work on the page. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

==watermark==
excellent work on the watermark. It is a very attractive watermark. I tried a watermark already, once, and I didn't like how it looked in thumbnails. Who knows, I might start to like it in the future, but right now, I DO have hidden electronic tags in all my files (which a savvy tech person can remove, but it takes a level of skill that most pirates don't bother to develop). But I like the idea of the watermark for images I approve to be ALLOWED on other sites, like Wikipedia. As for IMFDB, I am content to (a) initially mark the files as copyrighted to IMFDB and also (b) have the invisible eletronic tags on the files themselves that outline ownership and license. Many high end programs can read this. the latest versions of Photoshop can read the electronic copyright on a file. BTW, that one wikipedia pirate got booted for stealing all those images from us at IMFDB, and he got banned. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 00:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

==Saturday Shoot --- more pics coming --- just a heads up==
'''Group message cc:d' to MT2008, GM45, Alienqueen1'''
I'm heading to another armory to photograph some more long guns this Saturday if all goes as planned. (I'll get a new StG-44 amongst other cool stuff (like a SR-25, all tricked out, etc.) I've been photographing a lot of pistols recently. Since the last group of famous gun pics took an entire day to photograph and multiple days to 'clean up and format' (and put electronic Copyright tagging) on the images. I am also returning to Stembridge/CW to photograph a bunch of their more famous subguns/shortshotguns. I already have permission to photograph the actual McMillan TAC-50 used in S.W.A.T. As far as my own inventory, I still have to rebuild and fix some of MY guns still. I still have an M249 full stock gun that I need to photograph and a Walther MPL that needs fixing. And a bunch of Benelli M3 Super 90s in different configurations :) I want to work some more on the M16 page. If I can't get a real 733 (for example) I will try to build up an exact duplicate of one in the right configuration and then take a pic of it. Some of my older photos of M16 guns (like the 733) were build ups (i.e. just a standard gun with the barrel cut down, and not the exact configuration of the original gun type). I want exact examples of each one so that our M16 page is '''the''' definitive page of M16 types on the net. BTW: I have to go down to CW again and I will try to grab more "the Quick and the Dead" guns ... :) More handguns, especially Sharon Stone's SAA and Russell Crowe's gun (and original holster) and all the original screen used guns from 'Iron Man'. ;) I am also trying to get a ton of more famous screen used western guns for GM45's pages. (I let HIM do the honors on the Western movie pages ;) ) Just a heads up guys! :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:34, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

== some Westerns ==

Hey, I've been working on the pages for some Westerns and I heard you were the go-to guy on IMFDB for that sort of thing. I was wondering if you could look at my page for ''[[The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford]]'' and maybe see if there's anything I messed up. I figured it's your forte so if anyone would be able to fix it up, it would be you. Also I'm right now working on ''[[American Outlaws]]'' which has quite a number of Western guns as well, so I could let you know when I finish that and whenever you have time you might be able to check through and correct some of my inevitable errors haha. Thanks in advance - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

==re: Boondock Saints==

Dude, armory scenes in movies ''always'' suck to do on IMFDB. And the one in "Boondock Saints" is probably one of the worst, even worse than ''[[Hard Boiled]]'' or ''[[The Matrix]]''. I have an AVI rip of that movie on my external HD, and I don't think I've even managed to ID everything in that scene yet myself. I know you've already one-upped me if you saw the M79, because I don't recall that one and I've only seen the movie like, oh, 50 times. (Trust me when I say that if you ever go to college in the Northeast, especially a college where the student body is mostly of Irish descent, you will be watching that movie on an ''extremely'' regular basis, not even by choice necessarily.) But, it sounds like you're working hard, so I applaud you for that.

As far as movies I plan to do, I'm trying to decide what to rent on iTunes right now that I haven't seen in a while (or not at all). I want to watch something tonight because I know I won't have time tomorrow (I'll be going to Houston and not getting back home until Sunday morning). I'm thinking about saving myself some money and working on two "gangsta" movies I used to like when I was in high school - ''[[Menace II Society]]'' and ''[[Belly]]''. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:38, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey I was just watching The Boondock Saints and noticed a gun you didn't include. I'm watching a full-screen version sadly, but at roughly 00:18:51 movie time (This is when Agent Smecker is in the police station and the MacManus brothers turn themselves in) There's a shot where you get a very clear view of a revolver in a shoulder holster on Detective Greenly. I figured since you built the page you'd want to add the screen and all. Hope that helps. - [[User:Diego Wolfwood|Diego Wolfwood]]

Yeah no rush, just thought I'd let you know. - [[User:Diego Wolfwood|Diego Wolfwood]]

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

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

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

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

==Title change==
Well we all can disagree on somethings, I've always hated how our listing alphabetized on "the" as a "T". I think that's just stupid, since nearly everyone ignores "The" when looking for a title. Libraries do it, Video stores do it and I get pissed when I look for "The Dark Knight" but instinctively look in the 'D' section and see nothing. I've hated it since I joined the site, but also recently I've shown this site to famous armorers, and when their first comment is "great site, but sorting by "the", that's stupid" was the motivation I had to get off my ass and fix it. Heck, Mike Papac hated it. So I will still change the titles. I think you will find it easier to find movie pages as well. Thanks for your understanding.

==Winchester 1897==

Hey John

I was working on that right now. The Trench Gun photo although it is nice was not correct for some of those films. Just trying to help out on correcting an error. Just taking time to do. Also I discovered that there was two different 1897 Trench guns on IMFDB as samples that was the on was better than the other. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]
: Hey John, I just checked the links on both images Riot Guns and Trench Guns and did not see any errors on the pages. The sample matched the screen caps on them if I missed one late last night I am sorry. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

==Appaloosa==
Hey John
Since you are a Western Fan did you see this movie yet? When you do the page let me know as I built the 8 gauge for it and have photos for you. Also I got the okay to photograph the 10 gauge shotgun from Unforgiven will have them for you next week. The manufacturer of the shotgun is W. Richards originally owned by Ellis Mercantile and sold in 1999.
:No problem John on the Win 97. Great job on the westerns as for the Lonesome Dove Series thats a lot of ground. I worked on the guns for the prequel and Streets of Laredo. The same prop department did both shows and he picked several guns that I can track down for you. I hope you like everything I have been posting so far. Thanks - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

::Hey John, Thanks for the heads up I posted a photo of the shotgun when I finished it. I also put a thread for the shotgun I am not sure if or when they will be used again as Gibbons Ltd. was sold to ISS at the end of last year. I took photos of the fabrication of these shotguns it was a cool project but as everything Hollywood it had to be done quick. -[[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

==Mr & Mrs Smith==
You can go ahead and do it. You know I am just hoping you don't go crazy with the screencaps. YOU DO have an amazing ability to catch guns that I miss. I just had to prove that the Widow maker wasn't some existing launcher that was slightly modified, to another member. Also, I noticed that your recent Matrix shots are very big but are low resolution, so they look a little fuzzy. Were these done on another computer? Thanks. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:27, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

==Matrix==
Sorry. Didn't mean to slam Matrix pics so much. But I did notice the image size versus the file size and it was kinda low resolution. They didn't look bad, but remember when some of your screencaps were so awesome that I actually thought you had bought a Blu-ray machine! :) I uploaded some pics very similar to your screencaps for comparison. Maybe Matrix is a fuzzy movie (A Bridge Too Far was maddening since it seemed like the entire movie was filmed through a layer of gauze) I did notice that the Matrix shots are still a little ''''squished''''. Maybe its an optical illusion, but maybe they look fuzzier because they aren't as bright. For some reason, my screencapping software has bright output and (IMHO) a little sharper image. Let me know what you think. But I know you can do it since I've seen your bright screencaps before. :)

I want to give ALL new members a probation period to see how they work out.

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

==Colt 25?==
I'm asking you since you know a lot about older firearms. Isn't the Colt 25 as listed on IMFDB the same as the Colt Model 1908 Vest pocket? I think it's the same gun, but I wanted independent verification. I ask because I hate it when I shoot a custom pic for IMFDB (so as not to violate anyone's copyright) and other members STILL upload 'jacked' images off of Google of the SAME GUN, undoing the point of getting licensed images for IMFDB (versus violating someone else's copyright). Anyway I wanted to make sure that these were the same pistol. Thanks for your expertise. MPM

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

==MM Smith Unknown 1911 Variant==
Hey John, I believe the 1911 shown is a Mile High Armory custom built 45 pistol. I also looks like a left hand 1911 as I can not see the slide stop or thumb safety on the side with the ejection port like a Randall left handed 1911.

== 1911's and other models. ==

Thanks for your message. Very nice. Don't worry about how some cops might think you're a smart ass. We all tend to be that way when it comes to teenagers.Teenagers and cops are like oil and water. But usually once we see that you're on the level we tend to change our tone.Take me for example. I'm an '''old''' cop. At 41 I tend to come across as an old grouchy fart to kids, but I do warm up.

I grew up in a 1911 household. My father was also a cop as well as a Vietnam veteran. Though he carried the S&W Model 28 and later the S&W Model 65 as his sidearms he was (is) all about 1911's. At one point he owned ''seven'' of them. He's now down to a 1911A1, Colt Commander and a Colt Officers Model.

Even though I appreciate what John Browning accomplished with the 1911, and aknowledge it's strengths (i.e. it's excellent grip), I've just never taken a liking to it. When it comes to autos I prefer the "classic" Sig design, Glock and Beretta. I'm also fond of the Browning Hi-Power so Mr. Browning's pistol designs do have some influence with me.

However I'm a big fan of revolvers. I own many many wheelguns. Smith & Wessons make up the bulk of my collection, but there are a couple Colts and a [[Webley Mk VI]] - which is my pride and joy.

I've been a gun-nut almost all of my life so you are not unusual at your age. I'm a firearms instructor at my department as well. Combine my interest of firearms with my love of movies and many of my fellow officers look at me like I'm some type of whacko. But whne they have a question about guns, movies or need help improving their pistol score guess who they come looking for?

Talk to you later. [[Jcordell]]

Oh one more thing. I downloaded an image of a [[Savage 99]] rifle. I even figured out how to create a page, but how do I get the image to show up on the page? I have a link but no photo. Help me out partner. Please. [[Jcordell]]

== Thanks for your help ==

Appreciate it. HAve to help us old guys out now and again. [[User: Jcordell|Jcordell]]
Ah - ha! Got it.

The lever action rifle dosen't deliver the same type of accuracy as a bolt action. But it's fast and easy for lefties (like me) to use with ease. Plus there is the historical signifance.

== Winchester Model 1895 ==

I live in Idaho. Last summer Imade it down to Provo, Utah and went to the Browning museum. Also went and saw the old Browning shop. I mentioned that I don't really care for the 1911. But I do enjoy the Hi-Power and I'm a big fan of the Winchester 1895. I own one in 30-06. One of the new ones made back in 1996. I also own an 1897 riot-gun which I'm fond of. So I understand your fondess of Browning guns. Take care. Keep on working.

== Colt Troopers. ==

Will do. I didn't know that. Thanks.

==Colt Mustang==
The Colt Mustang (a .380 pistol) is on the M1911 page. I don't think it belongs there. All those other models are in .45 acp (or they have other calibers as well as 45 ACP), but essentially they are .45 guns. I was going to pull the Colt mustang and create a page for the Mustang/Pony since they are both subcompact Colt guns in .380. What do you think? MPM20008

==S&W MkII Hand Ejector==
Hey John, I think this and the S&W M1917 has the same info they both the same N frames different calibers. Maybe they should be combined into a S&W Pre-War N Frame or the M1917 info transferred to the S&W MkII Hand Ejector. The same goes for the Colt M1917 as it is a Colt New Service in .45 ACP. Just thought you should know. - [[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]]

== ''CSI: Miami'' S&W Semi-Auto ID ==

I don't think the pistol shown on ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' is a [[Smith & Wesson 5900 pistol series#Smith & Wesson 5946|S&W 5946]]. If you look at the screenshot versus the photo on the gun's page, you can see the gun in the screenshot has a decocker safety on the right side of the slide while the one in the photo does not. The [[Smith & Wesson 4000 pistol series#Smith & Wesson 4046|Smith & Wesson 4046]] does have a right-handed safety though. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 20:53, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

==In the Line of Fire Llama==
Hey John, Just to give you a heads up the Llama used In The Line of Fire is a Llama IIIA in .380 caliber. The weapons on the show were supplied by Ellis Mercantile. Also I might have a photo of the prop double for the composite pistol. The firing model was cut into three pieces after the movie was filmed. Thanks Steve

==XM16E1==

Hey John, I edited one of MPM's photo hope he doesn't mind to much but his photos are awesome. I worked on get those rifles ready for We Were Soldiers a couple of month prior to filming. It's amazing the research we did on all the weapons from that battle reconfigured our XM16E1 back to 1965. We even built the correct AK's for Vietnam since everyone else always used stamped receiverd AK. When the show was done everyone though we were wrong until you look and the combat photos and we were correct. Most critics completely missed that we only had two of the correct model Huey's. Steve

==Idea for New Page==
Hey John, I had an idea for a new page just on blank cartridges. Maybe we can ask MPM about getting some photos or I can get some myself when I go back to the armory after wrap. Thanks Steve

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

== M4 vs. M4A1 ==

The original M4 did NOT have a removable carry handle, it had a fixed one with 3-round burst. The original M4 was pretty much an M16A2's upper & lower recievers with a telescoping stock and 14.5" barrel with cuts for mounting the M203 ahead of the front sight assembly. It was the later M4A1 that featured the flat-top upper/full auto lower reciever assemblies. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 19:50, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

==re:==

The very earliest Type 56s, which were made 1956-1963, were built with milled receivers. The Poly Tech Legend is something completely different - it's a semi-auto copy of the original AK-47 designed for the civilian market in the 1980s. It looks almost identical to the original Russian AK-47 (visually, they're pretty much impossible to tell apart) and does not have the full-circle front sight of the Type 56. The receiver style has nothing to do with it. There were Type 56s which had milled receivers. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:27, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

:: Nice job on Young Guns including the photo of the real Billy the Kid. I don't know if you knew this fact about that photo is that the plate was reversed. The load gate on the Winchester is on the wrong side where as the Emilio Estevez photo is on the correct side.

==RE: RoboCop 2==

Thanks! I actually think it's a cool concept, but for Hob, it's the perfect weapon. It goes with his whole tactic of taking advantage of his age. "Officer reporting: It's just some kid carrying a blue lunchbox. No way he shot those dudes."

Sorry to hear you're sick, but have fun doing the "Dirty Harry" movies. Oh, and I had no idea that Eastwood's gun in the first one was a Model 25. That's news to me, but it does make perfect sense, for the reasons you explained. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:03, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

== re: Nice Work ==

Thanks for the compliments! Feel free to make any adjustments with the Model B on ''The Untouchables'' page, I had neglected to think about that when I made the page, assuming Costner was using all M1911A1s and only that one henchman had a Star. Looking back, I can see I was wrong but I didn't get enough angles in enough scenes to discern when Costner had a Model B. I appreciate the help with that!
Also, I'll peruse ''The Godfather'' sometime very soon and get a shot of the M1A1, just for completion's sake.
On a different note, great job with the first ''Dirty Harry''. Those pages have been in dire need of a fix-up and you're certainly doing justice to those great movies! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]
:Also, I recall maybe a few weeks ago you had asked about ''[[The World Is Not Enough]]'' - I just fixed it up tonight in case you're interested/have any input - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]
::Thanks for the TWINE corrections, I was curious about some of the M1911A1s and I figured you'd know what was what. I do have ''Casino Royale'' so I can add that to my list, and I'll probably get ''Quantum of Solace'' pretty soon. I agree that Walther is probably upset that they've gone back to the PPK instead of the PPS - I guess that was the filmmakers' way of responding to audiences who wanted a more "classic" feel? I'll try and get QoS as soon as possible (I think the only Bond I have left to screencap otherwise is ''Never Say Never Again'' which isn't even technically part of the series). Great work with ''Magnum Force'' as well - all these pages are looking better and better! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]]

If you read the paragraph at the top of the [[Knight's Armament SR-25]] page, you'll see that the M110 is the designation of the SR-25 given by the U.S. Army.

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

If you're the one who has been re-vamping the Diry Harry movies, thank you so much. It was really weak at first and you made it WAY better. I hope you re-vamp ''Sudden Impact'' and ''The Dead Pool'' as well because they are pretty weak.

== Hostage Molotovs ==

While I understand that you worked on this page (and, I must admit, you did a damn good job on it), please remember that this is the Internet Movie ''FIREARMS'' Database. Molotovs aren't firearms. Sorry.

:That seems fair enough. Thank you for at least taking the time to talk to me, instead of just throwing a ban on me for a "first offense" so to speak (a few other administrators tend to overreact). I understand now. Thanks.

==Colt 1903 new page==
Hey John, There is a new Colt 1903 page that needs to be removed as it is a duplicate of the Colt Model 1903/1908 page we already have. Thanks - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

==AMT Pistols page==
Awesome work on the AMT page. It's been needed. Have you been talking to Rockwolf? Anyway, it's been sorely needed, but this was the best compromise possible since these guns were 'automags' in name only. Unfortunately there are VERY few of these types of guns in movie weapons rental inventory. No one ever wanted them. MPM2008
:: Only the original AMC guns were written "Auto Mag". When Arcadia Machine & Tool Company 'ripped off' the Auto Mag mystique they avoided copyright infringement by writing their guns as 'AUTOMAG". Get it? only one word. ''"No your honor. We're not licensed to make Auto Mags. That name belongs to the remnants of the AMC company. Our gun is called the Automag! Completely different!"'' So the original guns are two words, the mutant long slides are just one word. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:20, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
:::That would make sense, since changing the name to one word rather than two words was the way AMT tried to legally differentiate themselves from AMC. Unfortunately TONS of literature and sources on the net screw it up and name the AMT guns with Auto Mag versus Automag. And vice versa. It's your page. It's up to you.

Thanks. I screencapped ALL of the Indy films but I have to resize them and fix them for uploading. I sure hope no one starts doing it before I'm done. I hope some of the other users don't mind i replaced their shots, but some of the screenshots are pretty blurry or just not really clear. I don't know how it looks on your monitor, but I think my screenshots are clearer (take some of the other indy films for instance, except for the obvious "Production stills").

::Edit, sorry I'm not picking on you. I just didn't want you to go through the trouble of screencapping that film. I figured all the younger members of IMFDB aren't as tuned into the feelings of American Veterans. MPM

==Thanks for the reply==
But I would argue its a lot easier to hold an absolutely 'neutral' attitude when one has no 'dog in the fight' per se. Having served some time in service I have such a disdain for that work that I must admit I get really angry when I see it. Perhaps in years to come, like the people who suffered on 9/11 may be able to stomach "watching a movie where Americans are the bad guys and the hijackers are the heroes", I may be able to stomach trash like DePalma's piece of crap. There are tons of more worthy films that have not been listed yet. We are so far away from being the all encompassing film database like IMDB that if we get closer to listing EVERYTHING, then we would be obligated to list even the most despicable listings. I would argue that it is controversial right now (perhaps not so much later on), but there is little upside to keeping it. Again thanks for your honest discourse. Always a pleasure. MPM2008

==addendum==
Yeah, I probably would feel better if we had a disclaimer that we don't support the film but list it for purely informational purposes so that IMFDB doesn't end up offending vets or families of vets who come here. I think that is the biggest concern for me. Anyway, thanks again for the note. Now that we're getting controversial, I might as well start listing the guns for "Triumph of the Will" ;) hahahah. thanks again. MPM2008

== Colt Diamondback in [[Magnum Force]] ==

You're right about the model used by Tyne Daley in [[The Enforcer]]. It does look like a Python snubbie, but I still think Felton Perry is using a Colt Diamondback in [[Magnum Force]]. It looks like it has a smaller frame which would match the Diamondback. [[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]]

Great. thanks. [[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]]

==VIP==
Thanks. I work hard on the Screenshots to make them look better. And as you've pointed out, I like bad cinema and tv. re: Model 36 pic. I don't want it to seem that I was in any way yelling at you when I reverted that image. That picture bothers me now. It was a project gun of a gunsmith and I checked the frame and it was definitely marked 36-2 (I take detailed notes when I take photographs of guns) and I'm no Smith & wesson expert, but the details LOOK like the more modern revolvers. Should I delete the image? The front sight and cylinder latch 'could' have been updated with newer parts. I hate having pics like this which 'could' be custom and not indicative of a standard model. Thoughts? MPM2008

==VIP gun help==
I have some pics in the 'to be sorted' section of the VIP page. Two shots of a suppressed pistol and one hard to see shot of an LAPD detective's revolver. Since you're the eagle eye on the site, do you have any ideas? Thanks. MPM2008

== Diamondback or Python ==

Hey, I know you just finished re-vamping ''[[The Enforcer]]'', so I figure you'd be able to help. I'm not so sure that Insp. Moore is using a Colt Python. It's possible, but it looks more like the Diamondback that Insp. Perry used in the previous movie, ''[[Magnum Force]]''. What do you think? [[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]]

Well for what it's worth I think that Tyne Daley is carrying a Colt Python "snubbie" in ''[[The Enforcer]]''. It looks to be the right size since the Diamondback is built on the same frame as the Colt Detective Special while the Python was built on the old 41 frame - a bigger frame. Also the hammer's spur on the revolver carried by Tyne Daley looks like a Python hammer instead of the Diamondback. But I do believe that Felton Perry was carrying a Diamondback in ''[[Magnum Force]]''. [[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]]

:John, It looks like the first photo is the two-tone Jericho 941 and photos two and three are the two-tone EAA Witness as those are different stuntmen. I would try and get some paperwork as backup but those were Gibbons Ltd gun and they have been sold to ISS.- [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]
:: Hey John, I have an ID for that other pistol on Collateral for you. I Talked to Larry who was the General Manager of Gibbons Ltd and the armorer on Collateral.

==Enemy at the Gates==
I appreciate the weapons I missed. That's the eagle eyes I expect. BUT .... I'm not at all happy with MORE shots of the guns I already have. You and I have a fundamental difference of opinion regarding the number of screenshots for a movie page. You like to have WAY more than I like to have per weapon and though it really irritates me, I don't do anything to your pages. I do get annoyed when you add gun pics to the sections where I already have pics. I certainly cannot trim down the screenshots on pages that you make, though on pages like LMS I sure would like to delete about HALF of the screenshots, Why should I have to accept something which I fundamentally disagree with ... on my own pages?

==Seecamp==
Are you answering the question I asked MT2008? re: the Seecamp 32 in Die Hard with a Vengeance? or are you ID'ing the pistol that Pamerla Andersen has in the bathtub in V.I.P.? Also I have some guns I can't ID on the Bionic Woman page, so I'd ask the EAGLE EYE if you have the time MPM2008

==RE:==

Well, I see you're already doing it anyway. :) But yeah, it's cool if you want to upload more. Just don't go ''too'' crazy. Also, you should go ahead and separate the AK variants. When I did this page originally, IMFDB wasn't in the habit of distinguishing the Norinco Type 56s from the AK-47 or AKM, so go ahead and separate the first section into the different variants. Also, it seems a lot of the Type 56-1s in the movie have the AKM-style receiver cover and grip. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:48, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Also, you can replace all my old ones if you wish. They're somewhat lower-res than yours. Also, did you see the nickel-plated AK on the wall of Yuri's weapons container? The one with the forward grip? That's this gun: http://weaponspecialists.com/view-prop.php?id=160&name=AK47-Stainless It was originally made for the movie ''[[Belly]]''. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:00, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

:Sounds good. It looks WAY better, plus it has lots of guns that I missed. Also, I think there may be an AR-7 variant in Yuri's gun container (it's visible in the same screencap as the ''[[Belly]]'' AK). I have a few more comments on the page, but I'll wait until you're done before I make them to avoid edit conflicts. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 03:47, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

== Bourne Identity (1988) ==

==Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873==
Hey John, I see that you added the blued Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 back to the Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 page. Just to let you know the the revolver was never issued blued it was issued in a bare metal finish only. That was the reason I uploaded the correct image over MPM's. Just letting you know. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]
:: I agree with keeping the original finish, but here's a thought ..., if some armorer somewhere, at sometime decided to BLUE his gun and it appeared in any film (I'm not saying it has) but if it did, we would be benefited from having a blued version, even though it would technically be some gunsmith's aftermarket conversion. Just at thought. But the revolver WAS issued only "in the white" historically... :) MPM2008

In response to grouping the SAAs together, I would do so (as I normally do) but since I took a large number of screencaps, I decided it would be at least a semi-logical way to split it up. The ''[[Joe Kidd]]'' page looks great of course; very interesting to see a C96 used in a Western (although it's a shame they used the typical Hollywood bottomless magazine!)

==Did someone ask for a Mossberg Pic?==
[[Image:Mossberg590Modified.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mossberg 590 Combat model (Parkerized) with 500C wood forearm and stock - 12 gauge]]
I could have sworn that someone, someplace requested that I photograph a Mossberg 590 shotgun (parkerized version) with a 500C wooden furniture for some movie '''but I can't remember now what it was for'''. Well, here it is! :) I actually bought the 500C wood to put on one of my 590s for the pic so I sure hope that a movie used this configuration somewhere :) best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey John, Looking over the Joe Kidd page you built looks nice. I believe that the Colt 1877 Lightning you show in the capture is a Colt 1878 Double Action in 45 Long Colt. Also the Lightning photo you posted in the Lightning page for Kill Bill is a Cimarron Lightning Single Action. If thats the case does that go in the Single Action Army page like the Uberti's? -[[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

Well I've been busy, photographing every Calico Variant I can think of (or that is available to me).

==I owe you an apology on the Model 60==
Well, today I saw the owner of the Model 36 in satin nickel and he said 'that's not in satin nickel. I was talking about another gun. That's stainless', WTF? That's not what I remembered, but oh well. I popped it open and it is still marked Model 36, so I queried more about why it was marked Model 36-2 and he 'forgot' to mention that it was a factory missmark and thus was collectible. So my tirade about the Model 60 being a custom Model 36 seems a bit unnecessary. I showed him the IMFDB site and he basically concurred, there is nothing about that gun that makes it different from a Model 60 other than the weird factory model stamping which no one can see. I'm no S&W expert, but he set me straight and pointed out that I was wrong to complain about others naming it a 'model 60' when for all intents and purposes, it looks just like one. So I owe you an apology regarding the Model 36/Model 60. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:18, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

the first was a gun that, somehow was able to shoot 2 rounds into the same wound whilst only clicking the trigger once. (sorry if its quite vague); and the other was a gun that was known on CSI:Miami as the "Vapouriser", in the show it turned a person into a mist of blood.--[[User:Taggartusmaximus|taggartusmaximus]] 22:27, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I know you don't listen to me and use this to make the score bigger, but counting the REPEATS of weapons already establish. The Garand, the M16 repeats at least 3 times and you counted them into the score. That's just stupid. It's like if I take the 4 seasons of the Unit an counted 1 for every time I see a firearm, even though I have already established that we do see it from season 1. I put down M4s, but I don't do it 4 different times because this rifle has appeared in all the seasons, I just put images of how the rifle looks from each season under the M4 category. I label each section, handguns, SMGs, rifles, etc and put weapons under each regardless of the seasons they've appeared in. The format you've done for Mail Call makes it very messy and kind confusing and VERY unnecessarily LONG. I'm not dissing your efforts, I just think you over did it.

I just recieved your message thanking me for my cooperation. I had no idea that the one undoing all of my changes was the articles original author (I probably should have checked though) and had I been aware would have desisted immediatly. A simple message would have been enough to make me aware of my mistake, therefore the ultimatum included in your first message was both unnecessary and unappreciated. In the future if you could alert me to my mistakes without the use of threats I would be appreciative. I apologize if a sound angry at all (I'm not, nor do bear you any grudge) I was just slightly offended by the manner in which you told me stop changing page format.

I saw your edits to a page (Thief) I created. I am very new, so forgive my indiscretions and errors in protocol. I was wondering if it would be possible to explain how to generate the table of contents present on each page. This is the boxed heading at the top of each page showing each gun and when clicked, takes you directly to each section (gun). I wasn't sure if posting this question here is proper, but I haven't found the help area that explains this action.

[[Image:Podbyrin9 2mmPistol.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FIXED in Photoshop Podbyrin 9.2mm pistol (merged a rounded Beretta 92S trigger guard onto the handgun to make it look more like the movie gun)....]]
I spoke to the original gun owner, and suggested a 'frankengun' fix in PS, and surprisingly, he said he 'thought it was cool'. He was intrigued to see what the pistol would look like with the 'correct trigger guard', so I took a photo of a Beretta 92SB and 'merged' the rounded trigger guard onto the Podbyrin. How does this look? I usually try to avoid doing a lot of photoshop on a gun pic, other than lightening shadows or darkening highlights or fixing scratches or (obscuring SNs).

I noted on the Matrix discussion page that I was conducting a test and had realized that the existing screencaps are distorted, but the image is exactly the same as yours (the exact frame actually). Nothing on the page has changed, other than the fact that it was not uploaded by you. When people change pages, they're actually CHANGING the page, i.e. making the content different.

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

Actually, I rather don't care for the new template. I looked at the text in the editing and saw that it is extremely complicated to create. In addition, while the new system presents more information in a more organized fashion, I find it less aesthetically pleasing that the older, simpler format. While I have no problem with the new template being used, I contacted you because I was hoping that contributors who prefer could still create articles using the older format.

==Payback yet again==
I noticed you removed all of my responses on the ''[[Payback]]'' page to your comments about mistakes the characters or filmmakers made. I realize that my comments made the text about the images rather lengthy and I apologize if they made you feel that I was being overly critical of you, but the reason I wrote them was because ''Payback'' is one of my favorite films and I felt the need to defend it when any justification could be made for its errors. I do not intend to replace my comments, however, deleting them while entirely disregarding the arguments they presented (my Walther-Bersa feature mistake excepted) seems a little discourteous. Once again I am sorry for giving you so much grief over this page the last couple of weeks, but as I stated this is one of my favorite films and I just wanted to see it done justice.
:-Anonymous

==Response==
I realize you enjoy pointing out the gun-related errors films make (I really do as well to be honest) and I have no issue with that whatever. In fact, the majority of your criticisms I left alone because I found them to be fully justified. The only comments I made were pertaining to mistakes I thought could justified such as missing at a close distance because the target is concealed or useing a poor grip because the size and location of a target make a hit guaranteed. I know some of the excuses have shaky foundations, but sense I enjoy the film so much I have been grasping at straws to vindicate it. I don't mind your removing them so much as I hope you at least considered what they said first. I will try to stop beating a dead horse and refrain from further commenting on this film, however I am not entirely sure I can restrain myself. ;)

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

==Template==
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 and I look forward to your input on this matter.

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

Hey John, I did notice you were using the template on the Actors pages it looks good with the info all cleaned up. I will note down about the boxed template and see what everyone else says. That's a good idea of your to clean up the Test page so everyone can use it for cut and paste. Thanks - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

==Deleted Article Question==
As an administrator I was hoping you could answer a question I had regarding some deleted articles. I noticed recently that the Television pages for ''American Dad'', ''Family Guy'', and ''The Simpsons'' had all been deleted. This seemed logical as animated programs such as these may not provide detailed enough images of firearms to definitively say what weapons the images were supposed to represent making these pages rather out of place on this website. However I noticed that the article for ''[[King of the Hill]]'' still exists which has better animation quality, yet still seems to have some of the issues as other animated pages. In addition, there are many other articles mostly on older video games and some animated works that have these problems. Why is it some questionable articles are deleted while others remain? I am not complaining about the decisions made, I am just curious about the process that leads to an articles deletion.

Fantastic new caps from ''[[Public Enemies]]''! I'm definitely going for the first day it comes out, I'm a huge Mann fan as well (since you said it, I figure it won't sound as bad if I did haha) and I did a report on Dillinger in 7th grade and I've been fascinated with all that since then. I sure hope my teachers weren't worried about me after that :-/ Anyway, especially good call identifying the .38 Super M1911A1 machine pistol that Dillinger used. I'm really glad Mann used that, as neither of the other Dillinger films I've seen had it! If only there was a way we could share duties capping that when it's out on DVD.

I'll be watching both the 1945 and 1973 Dillinger movies the night before, I guess to try and make it my own kind of marathon?

::One book that does a great job is the ''Public Enemies'' book written by Bryan Burroughs, it covers Dillinger, Bonnie & Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson, and the Barker-Karpis Gang. Really a very interesting book with a ton of stuff if you're looking to check some of the accuracy of the movie. I read the script actually (a few months ago so it'd still be pretty fresh) and I think they took a few liberties with ''who'' was involved with the gang and when they were captured/died/etc., but with things like that it might progress the story in their favor to have it play out a different way.

== Re: What did you think? ==

First off, I loved it. I feel like Mann really put a lot into this one (as well as the cast/crew, etc., giving credit where it's due of course) but I was incredibly impressed. I feel like they had done extensive research and used that to make the story so good. Like you said, the creative license with Nelson/Floyd/killings during Michigan City jailbreak/etc. may have been wrong but I feel like it did help to move the story forward for viewers not quite as knowledgable to the rest story as people like us ;)

Mann also proved that just because a movie takes place in the 1930s doesn't mean you only need to have 1911s and Thompsons. I noticed a bunch of the guns you had, such as the 1903A3s. I didn't get as good a look at the Winchesters, like the one used to wound Dillinger (I think the guy who wounded him in real life was John Shipley but I don't quite recall. I think the Sioux City bank robbery in the film was a mix of Dillinger's three 1934 bank robberies after his escape). I noticed a lot of revolvers, like the Colts you mentioned. I think I saw some with Smith & Wesson grips at one point but I can't remember when it was. I'm sure I'll go again to see it at some point this weekend so I'll be more eagle-eyed. Although I had especially noticed the shot of the Thompson during the Racine robbery and thought "that'd be GREAT for imfdb!" as well as a bunch of other shots. Amazing what this website does for the movie-watching experience haha

I was trying to do some shot-counting but it became difficult for me to sometimes discern who was shooting. But I agree; Bale looked steel-eyed when he was firing his 1911 at Nelson (also I noticed he kicked what looked like a nickel 1911 out of Pretty Boy Floyd's hand; I heard/read that the only nickel 1911s around during that era were the ones chambered in .38 Super. Do you know if this is true?)

Anyway I hope you enjoyed it, I know I certainly did. My friends were a bit confused by who the characters were exactly (which I could understand, Mann went right into the story!) but I was blown away! Another good (but long!) book to pick up if you have the time is a book called DILLINGER by William J. Helmer I believe. It goes very indepth into the story. The last couple summers my friends and I have been working on making our own ''Pretty Boy Floyd'' film but now it's gonna be pretty tough to avoid copying almost directly from PE! Hope I didn't ramble too much here - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 06:04, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

:Now that would be impressive! What all would you need to convert one to resemble, if not operate, like the one Dillinger had? Also I was just remembering the early scene in which Dillinger disassembled the Thompson - do you happen to recall if they showed Depp doing it himself or if they cut to just a set of hands? I'm just curious as to whether or not he had done it himself; Mann seems to make sure his actors are well trained with firearms (notably Cruise in ''[[Collateral]]'' of course). Also, I just found this interesting message board thread while browsing imdb - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1152836/board/flat/141781630. Covers a bunch of the accuracy things we were talking about. - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 07:04, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

==Re:Public Enemies==
Hey John, Lets see if I can fill in some of the gaps on this. I restore the weapons for Gibbons Ltd used by John Depp and weapons were also supplied by ISS.
* Johnny Depp's Colt 1911A1's were chambered for .45 ACP blanks they represented the real Dillinger's Colt 38 Supers. As of this time there are no 38 Super weapons or blanks in the industry.
* 1928A1 Thompsons the way we have them listed in everything is an error that I have yet figured out how to resolve. The weapons on the show are whats called a 1928 which is the same externally as a 1921 the difference is internal with a heavier actuator to reduce the cyclic rate of the weapon. The horizontal forends were offered on both 1921 and 1921 models of the Thompson. The 1928A1 is a World War II Thompson that had several shortcut in it to increase production during the war and were built by Savage and Auto Ordnance. The first short cut was no more commercial finish on the weapon then the fins were left of the barrel, The rear sight was changed to stamped L shape and not Cutt's comp was the final mod before production switch to the M1. Also if you notice when I have done pages with a Thompson in it the title is Colt 1921A or 1921 AC. The A is for a Thompson without a Cutt's compensator on it and AC is with a Cutt's. For the show there were Colt 1921's (Same weapon from Indy IV) with 1928 internals, 1928A1's refinished to look like a 1921 (Polished Blued finish) and there were some Thompson hybrids that were built by for the show.
*1903 Colt Pocket Hammer was sent to the production it is unknown if it was used or it was used and the scene was cut.
*Revolvers I know that both the Colt Detectives and Colt Official Police were shipped on the show. I will see if I can help out on the on Saturday when I see the film.
*38 Super Machine Pistol used in the movie was chambered in 9mm blank as 38 Super is not carried by the industry. The weapons was built by ISS for the film.
*BAR these were supplied by Gibbons Ltd and were modified in the Bonny & Clyde configuration by another gunsmith for Gibbons Ltd.

:Hope the answered some of your question by as all things it probably created more. -[[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

::John,

::I'm pretty sure that the 1903 Colt Pocket was the gun that Dillinger used for about the last third of the film, in place of the 1911 he had carried earlier. It's the gun he takes with him to the theater and then tries to draw before he gets killed by Purvis and the other agents. I have no idea how accurate this is in real life.

::If some of the guns (including the machine pistol) were supplied by ISS, I might be able to ask my contact at ISS if he can tell me more about that gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 14:18, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

:I believe Depp had the 1903 Colt Pocket Hammer in the Tucson hotel scene. It was brief as Depp sets it down on the table and you can see the tab for the mag catch. But would need to see it on DVD to be sure. Did see a whole was full of Colt Official Police in the Crown Point jail vault. Also the machine gun out side of Crown Point was a Colt Model 1928 Light Machine Gun. -[[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

== FC2 SVD ==

By the looks of things it's a bit of both; the forend has twin holes halfway up like the FPK, but it's shaped like the SVD's and the exposed part of the gas piston is smaller like the SVD's, too; other SVD features are things like the cheek pad, the kink in the fire mode switch as opposed to the AK-like switch on the FPK, and so on. Though the weirdest feature the FC2 SVD has is a duckbill three-point flash suppressor like it's an early M16. [[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 10:22, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

*Actually, I don't think humour in articles is really a bad thing even for a wiki: [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Wiki:Policies#Humor this] is a good summary of why.

== sound effects ==

Hey I was just wondering if you knew of a good website from which I could download some good firing sound effects for a movie I'm doing/editing. Preferably there would be sounds for a Thompson (with the higher ROF on the earlier models) and a .44-40 Winchester, as well as pistols. I had considered trying to get some sounds from Youtube but they didn't sound crisp enough when I added them to the film. No big deal, but I was just curious if you knew of anything. Thanks! - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 05:18, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
:That's actually a very good idea to borrow from movies like that, I wish I had thought of it! I might be able to get some crisp Thompson sound shots from ''Dillinger'' or ''Miller's Crossing''. (I'd use ''Public Enemies'' but unfortunately that's not out on DVD yet.) I've been trying to find some sort of BAR to use in mine but I'm afraid I might have to give up on that :-/ Good luck on yours as well - what's it about, if I may ask? - [[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 08:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

==Re: The Shadow==
Hey John, Thanks for the nice words. The Shadow was my first film working in the Industry so it has a special place in my heart. Those custom built Grizzlies were the loudest pistol I have ever tested. I am going to call the owner of them next week and see if I can get a photo of them for IMFDB. I am uploading a special photo tomorrow I know you will like. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]] 07:15, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
:The Grizzlies in 45 Win Mag were loud with hearing protection on. The Thompsons used on the set started out as Colt 1921's when Tim Curry was firing them but when we switched to the bridge scene the flash did not appear on camera. The cyclic rate on a 1921 was to just fast enough to not show completely on film so we went to the Colt 1928 Thompson we had on hand and the Colt 1921 became a backup. Also on the bridge scene the actor that fired the Thompson tossed away a Smith & Wesson M&P Snub Nose. On the pistols for the head on shot I would have to check and see if I have the paperwork for those. - [[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

== RE: Mask 1911 ==
This is true, the only real difference is those cocking serrations. To me it has more features common to the CGNM. Most noticeably is the sight rib, with is a part of the slide. I have yet to see this on any other colt variant with the exception of the AMT Hardballer. It is possible that it's a custom series 70, but it's also a possibility that it's an older custom GCNM.-[[User:RedJedRevolver|RedJedRevolver]]
::Well I do not know for sure. I have yet to find information on the older (pre series -70). In the mean time, I think the best thing to do, would be to call it a Custom Match Grade Series '70 Colt, because everything on there lends credence to it being a Match grade firearm. I will look for older models though. What do you think? btw, is it just me or does the second picture look like a commander sized gun? The distance from muzzle to the tip of the frame seems too short for a standard. -[[User:RedJedRevolver|RedJedRevolver]]

:Hey John, I agree with that it is not a Gold Cup National Match. Those sights look like a Millet copy of the Novak. The markings on the slide appears to be a Mark IV Series 70 Government Model. So I believe it's a Colt Mark IV Series 70 Government Model with Millet sights. -[[User:Phoenixent|Steve]]

:::Yeah after some reasearch this is not the NM as I had thought. That D*** sight rib threw me off, never seen another Colt with that, and the markings are a Series 70 (or later) and no series 70 NM had straight serrations. I somewhat think this was a Colt custom shop gun. Sorry, you were right man. But if you change it back please make note it has been customized to hell. Lol, for what was probably paid for the custom job, that gun;s owner probably could have just bought a NM-[[User:RedJedRevolver|RedJedRevolver]]

==Glocks==

I asked about this on another forum a few months back. The answer is...there's no consensus. Some of the Glock fans I talked to told me that the Glock "Generations" refer to the styling only (meaning, any Glock that has rails and finger grooves is a 3rd Gen, while no rails and checked backstraps is 2nd Gen, etc.), while others told me that it does indeed refer to specific models (meaning, a Glock 17 with rails is a 3rd Gen, but a Glock 22 with the same style frame is only 2nd Gen). From what I gather, Glock themselves haven't really taken a specific position on the matter. Also, I have Gun Digest issues from 1999-2000 (when the rail frame/finger grooves models were introduced), and the advertisements for Glocks in them don't make any references to "3rd Generation" or "2nd Generation". So, from what I can tell, the "Generation" nomenclature was invented by fans, not by the company.

Long story short...I stopped caring how people described them, which is why I haven't reverted changes by other users, but I guess the first way of doing it (associating Generations with the styling only) is much easier and makes enough sense. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:03, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

You had me for a minute with Eve and Jamie, though...for a second, I thought that your eyes were going bad. :P In somewhat unrelated news, do you plan on redoing the Miami Vice page? I know that's not your favorite movie, but that page is almost begging for some great screencaps...especially the SIG 552.

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

==The grip on the Colt 38 Super==

Hey, my contact got back to me on the Colt 38 Super machine pistol from ''[[Public Enemies]]''. I asked him how the rail for the grip was attached to the frame, and he said this:

''"[T]he rail was semi permanently added with some small screws. The screws can be removed from the rail but where they anchored into the frame---those marks will still be there."''

Hope that answers the question. Also, check these out (make sure you click on them all the way, to see how big they are):

==Re:==

Hey, GM, that does indeed look better, and I would love to be able to do the same with the rest of my screencaps. What software do you use? Photoshop?

Unfortunately, one thing I'm starting to realize is that even if I do use Blu-Ray, I won't be able to take screencaps that look quite as good as the disc player is capable of generating. On my HDTV, ''[[Point Break]]'' on Blu-Ray looks very good, but on my laptop, it doesn't come out nearly as well. You may have noticed, for instance, that the resolution of these is only 1166x528 pixels even though the resolution on the disc is 1280x720. This is either due to the limits of VLC Media Player, or my laptop's graphics hardware, or maybe both. And it also may explain why the images aren't quite as sharp as they could be. So if I can edit them manually, I will gladly do so to get the most out of having Blu-Ray. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 14:06, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

:Hey, John, thanks for the offer. I will check out Paint Shop Pro when I have time. Right now, though, I actually haven't had much time to work on ''[[Point Break]]'', either last night or today. I'm probably not going to be doing any more work on this site because I'm celebrating my birthday tonight (which was yesterday), and I have to start working on a term paper tomorrow. But I think I can probably figure it out. I'll make sure to contact you if I have trouble achieving the same effect.

:Also, I tried playing ''[[Push]]'' in Blu Ray on my laptop, and much to my disappointment, it looks WAY worse when I use the screencap function on VLC Media Player (the screencaps come out semi-pixalated). I'm beginning to think it really is an issue with the player and that I'm going to need to find a better screencapping software. VLC just doesn't seem to handle Blu Ray very well. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:07, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

My bad understanding after reading through this is that "the Glock 17 doesn't have an external safety switch, it's got an automatic safety on the trigger so it only fires if you pull the trigger properly; the English dub inserting a line where a character says "safety off" while looking at his glock makes no sense, because there IS no external safety-switch" - is that correct?--[[User:V|V]] 21:39, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

== An idea I had. ==

Rather than putting trivia entries on talk pages, which makes them a little tricky to find, why not make a seperate page? The idea I had was something like naming the article after the main one with (trivia) on the end, putting it in "category: movie trivia", then adding a template at the top or bottom of the main article; say the "would you like to know more" button from ''Starship Troopers''. This would read something like:

(Would you like to know more? image) This article has a '''trivia page''' (and that would be a link to it, working like the duplicate template).

It would advertise your hard work more clearly too, rather than just hoping people stumble across it on the discussion page. [[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 03:09, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

== Overzealous Deletion ==
I would just like to say that in the last few days it appears that some have become extremely quick to label an article as incomplete or recomend it for deletion only a few hours after it was created. Many people lay a basic foundation for a page and come back later to expand it. Therefore, I believe there should be more restrictions on timelimits and level of content before anyone can come along and recomend that someone else's article be eliminated.

On an unrealated subject, if adding pictures to an existing article which contains only text, if someone mentions a 1911 was used without giving any more details as to the weapon's appearance can any 1911 image be added (so long as the model isn't too obscure) until a more precise identification can be made? This same dilemma occurs with M16, MP5, and Kalashnikov models which are not given detailed identification.
:-[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

::Disagree entirely. There's no excuse whatsoever for dumping trash pages on the site, and the only thing that will discourage it is if it's speedily removed; even if 'many people' do this [and I'd dispute that], we should make it clear this is not how articles should be constructed; a page with no useful information, no effort put into formatting and no screenshots is pointless, and hoping a turd will turn into a diamond if you leave it alone will soon get you a backyard full of turds. ''Anyone'' can take the time and effort to write up an article to an acceptable standard in a word processor before posting it; anyone who does not is going to have their article removed. Your actions of trying to get these pages up to a standard where they are not instantly deleted are laudable, but misguided; you shouldn't be jumping to help out people who won't put the effort in themselves, you should be working on your own projects. We don't want people coming to the site with the mentality that they can put no effort at all into a page because someone else will fix it for them later, because that essentially makes us servants running around after lazy idiots.

==Lock'n Load: Pistols==
I had some questions relating to the most recent episode of ''[[Lock 'n Load With R. Lee Ermey]]''. You identified the ".38 double action Colt revolver" as a [[Colt New Service]] 1898, yet according to Ermey the weapon was adopted in 1894 and looked slightly different from the New Service. However, Ermey did mix up a couple of minor facts througout the episode and the difference in appearance could be the result of lighting, angle, or my own error, I just wanted to ask if you were certain about your identification. I was also curious if you knew exactly what .38 round this weapon fired as there were many around at the turn of the century: .38 short Colt, Long Colt, S&W, and special are the ones I can think of off the top of my head and I have no idea which was most common during this period.

I also was confused by the Gunny's statement that the Beretta 92 series of pistols was introduced in 1975, as I thought I read somewhere that they were not introduced until the early 1980's.

==Lock'n Load Response==
In response to the revolver in question, I did a little digging and discovered that the weapon was the [[Colt Model 1892]] as this article [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_M1892] testifies that the weapon was adopted in the early 1890's as the Military's first double action revolver, which Ermey mentioned the revolver he used was. It turns out that you were correct about the weapon being chambered in .38 Long Colt. I will post an image below so that if you wish you can change the Lock'n Load article in your preffered format as I have had bad luck with television articles lately.

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

See below:''

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

== Your "Gladys" 1911 ==

I just wanted to point out that its a NFA viotlation to add a stock to a handgun. You may think that adding a 16" barrel is fine and then a stock, it is, but removing the 16" barrel then makes it a Short Barreled Rifle. Heres a source: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=471568
You can make a rifle from a handgun, but you can't make a rifle a pistol. By adding a 16" barrel and a stock, you have constructed a rifle.
:I'm fully aware of this, if it's constructed as a rifle, both the 16" barrel and the stock are put on, and if it's constructed as a pistol the 5" barrel is put on and the stock is removed. Never is it just fitted with the stock or just the barrel. They're not even used really, they're just neat little add ons for shits and giggles while plinking targets.

NOT being a sanctioned facebook page, immediately makes it suspect in my eyes and I vote for deletion. These behind the scenes photos were not released by the studio. They were personally taken by people on set and 'leaked'. The only reason why I did not ban it immediately was because I thought it was an officially facebook sanctioned page. ''' It is not.'''

As I stated on the M1911 talk page, I made a separate page for the Ballester-Molina because it is not a 1911. Only the mag and barrel interchange and the lockwork is significantly different.

==.38 Supers==
I remember talking to Steve a while back about 1911s and blanks, he said sometimes 38 Supers are converted to 9mm for blanks use. (Like the Machine Pistol in Public Enemies.) The one used in Desperado looks like you can read Government Model below the ejection port, so it's most likely a Series 80 factory 9mm. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 17:39, 16 June 2011 (CDT)
:Matt sent me the image of the Machine Pistol from PE. It's a pre-Series 70, which was never available in 9mm I don't think. It wasn't until the Series 70 I have seen them. If it was real life the gun in Desperado it would be a 38 Super. But for the film it would 9mm. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 19:40, 16 June 2011 (CDT)
This quote is from Steve off my talk page.

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

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

== Not sure if you saw this ==

I posted a question [[Talk:Killzone_3|here]] (right under the heading) since I can't get a password reminder from the forums (the form fills out fine but I never get the email): there doesn't seem to be a specific policy anywhere on "Frankenguns" and how / if we cover them. What's your opinion? [[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 09:03, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

*My personal take would be to treat the gun as if it's a movie prop and ask what it would be: for example, if you were building a movie version of the Pulse Weapon from ''FEAR 2'', it'd probably be based on a resin cast of an F2000 or an actual F2000 reciever, with a lot of embellishments. On the other hand, if you were going for, say, the BLADE weapon from ''Vanquish'', it'd just be a few gun bits stuck on a body made from scratch; you could probably ID the various bits, but they're bits of a gun, not a whole one. If I was covering that gun in the picture I drew, I'd probably go for the section heading "Eryx" (in quote marks) with both weapon images below it, linking to both gun pages but probably not adding it to either list. Obviously this gets complicated with some game weapons that have more than two "donor" guns or a lot of fictional bits. The way I see it, if it can be ''clearly'' ID'd as a real weapon hybrid, it's within IMFDB's remit to inform people what real weapons it's a hybrid of. One thing about the rules, though; they are rather tricky to find. They probably ought to be under the "General Information" link in the sidebar (where I first looked), but it seems they're only accessible from the front page. Also, don't let what that anon guy said get to you; I've modded other sites and dealt with plenty of idiots like that. Anything that affects them is automatically someone abusing their powers, since ''clearly'' they can do no wrong themselves. [/sarcasm] Also, I think I've figured out where he got that name from, if you want me to tell you. [[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 08:25, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

==Valkyria Chronicles / fictional guns ==
Just finished cleaning up the ''Valkyria Chronicles'' page and re-adding the fictional firearms like you said to. But it got me thinking (and I'm just bouncing ideas around here, take them or leave them) that maybe the policy regarding fictional weapons in video games and animation (which right now is rather vaguely addressed in the policy guidelines) should be that a work should include at minimum at least one real design (that's current policy, I know, but it's worth rehashing since it's what keeps ''Halo'' and ''Final Fantasy'' away) and that fictional designs listed on the page should be either:
:(A) Realistic-looking enough that a layman could possibly mistake them for a real weapon (Example: ''Valkyria Chronicles'', half of ''GITS'''s fictional guns)
:(B) Be important for trivia purposes (Example: the M41A's cameo in ''Excel Saga'')
:(C) Be based off of the same mechanical concepts as firearms in the real world (i.e. could conceivably exist if someone was willing to sit down and make them) (Example: the ''other half'' of the fictional guns in ''GITS'')
:(D) Be important/iconic firearms in that particular work (Example: ''Hellsing's'' Joshua and Jackal, Harlock's Dragoon)
Instances works where the only real firearm designs are "modified" versions of real world designs (like the guns in the ''F.E.A.R.'' games (that thing in ''F.3.A.R.'' is obviously just a UMP with a bunch of crap stuck on it) or the P90 is ''Solid State Society'') are rare enough that they could be considered on an individual basis.
Of course, like I said, this is just me bouncing an idea around. Think of it as me thinking out loud on the internet.

On a side note, the weapon pages for the Joshua and Jackal should probably be nuked. Everything there is already covered in the ''Hellsing'' article, and having pages for fictional prop guns is one thing, having pages for fictional guns that only exist in one (or two, however you wanna' count it) animated work is pushing it.

==Joshua & Jackal==
:They'll never appear in anything else, and there are too many admins/senior members who would like to see both the Anime and Video Game sections completely nuked (I may not use the forums much, but I do read 'em). Stuff like the Joshua and Jackal pages just make it look like the anime/VG sections are trying to worm their way into the rest of the site. I also think the two "America's Army 3" weapon pages (the grenades and Obran pages) should get nuked too. They're not real props, and there's nothing there that couldn't be covered in the games' pages.

:Also, I noticed that we have a category for anime TV shows ("Anime Series", it think it is?) but not one for Anime Movies and OVAs. Mind if I make them?--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 02:23, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

== Vektor Z88 in District 9? ==

Hi there,

Thanks for an excellent page on 'District 9', good work! I saw the movie this weekend and think it was awesome.

One question; wouldn't you say that the gun you describe as 'Beretta 92FS' is more likely a 'Vektor Z88'? There is no way telling really but since the movie has many Vektor guns, I would say it's more probable a Z88 than a 92FS.

Somewhere in the coming days I will revise accordingly, hope you don't mind. Thanks again and take care!--[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 03:35, 19 July 2011 (CDT)

Thanks for the quick reply. Reason I thought you did this page is that your name appears on top when you open the page to edit. Sorry about that, am relatively new here.

As far as proof is concerned for the pistol being a Z88 (and not a regular 92FS), I don't have any really. However, with (a) the Z88 having been a service pistol in South Africa and (b) the many other Vektor guns being used, my best bet would be on the Z88.

By the way, what's the evidence that the gun in question is actually a 92FS? In order to get a perfect determination, you'd need to see the engravings on the slide or the logo on the grip. As long as you don't have that, I guess 'flying by the seat of your pants' is the best course of action.

Sorry to take your time, I will take this up with the person I have identified as the creator of this page.--[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 07:01, 19 July 2011 (CDT)

'''And what proof do you have that it's a Vektor Z88 and not just a regular 92FS? Aside from the other Vektor guns present?'''

== Turok ==

Seems kind of harsh to have nuked the Turok page. Sure most of the guns are fictional, but at least 3-4 of them look like real-hworld weapons (The minigun first of fall, the rocket launcher that looks like a Stinger that fires RPG-7 rocket heads, the shotgun that looks like a futuristic hybrid between a SPAS-12 and SPAS-15, and the pistol looks like a Walther P99, with a longer slide, and the grenade which is basically a m67 grenade.) IMHO, it looks like the devs did some research. Besides, what about the Fallout pages, most of the guns in 3 and New Vegas are fictional (but as per standards, look enough like real-weapons). Just my two cents, and I don't mean to cause any trouble. - [[User:1morey]] October 7, 2011 8:09 PM (EST)

== Re: Frankenguns (again) ==

I think there's a limited case for including hybrid weapons, if:

* The weapon as a whole looks real enough to fool someone (for example, if the Eryx rifle on my userpage appeared in something, people would concievably ask what kind of gun it was). It's just as important that we point out believable weapons which are ''not'' real, otherwise it looks like we forgot to include them. This would protect, for example, Leon's "handgun" weapon in ''Resident Evil 4'', which ''is'' made up but looks like an authentic and believable modern pistol design, and really does need to be included to explain it actually isn't one.
* It is clearly weapon X with embellishments from weapon Y, with distinctive features of both (eg the pistol in ''Black''; we can also easily ID both guns there because the developers actually said it was a Beretta / Deagle hybrid anyway) rather than just parts of those weapons attached to something largely fictional (again, the example of the BLADE in ''Vanquish'', I can give you a shot of that if you like). This does have a great degree of room for interpretation, but there's no way to make a solid rule for fictional weapons that wouldn't either rule out authentic-looking fictional guns or allow all kinds of obviously fake ones.
* There are other weapons in the work which are clearly real (so no games like ''Killzone'' where everything is a frankengun). I'd add "weapons other than grenades" since I can think off-hand of about four games in total that feature made-up grenade designs.

This would keep really outlandish things out like that ridiculous shotgun from ''FEAR 3'' (I'm really not sure the pistol in that game belongs on the main page either, and the G3A3 is pretty borderline; I capped the latter, but I put the shots of it on the talk page, not the main page) and keep things to the standards of weird-looking but relatively believable guns seen in ''FEAR 2'' (which we've usually used as the "no more franken than these" yardstick).

Save the current version to notepad, delete your user page (as in moderator page-delete, not just blanking it) and then paste the info back in on the blanked page and hit save. That ''should'' reset the page history. Sorry it took me so long to think of it, but if you're still getting trouble from that weird guy who got bent out of shape over you deleting the ''Killzone'' page it's well worth trying.

You're quite welcome for the WotW help. As for the M16A2 and the Mk 19, the convoy scene should help.

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

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

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

:Now my [[Last Action Hero]] and [[Hollow Point]] pages have it beat. Cool!

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

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

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

==Re:Hey==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Beretta==

Hi,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I leave for a few days and all Hell breaks loose! hahaha ;) What was going on? I think someone was being careless with image '''overwrites'''.

I guess I won't have to complain to a mod if I see more vandalism on the site. Thanks. I do like the ability to edit the uploaded images. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]

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

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

==Screencaps==

One thing I'd recommend...for now, we should leave the movie screencaps up, but only if they're ones that haven't been replaced by better ones on their pages.

::Yep, that would be a good idea. And wow...between the two of us, we've REALLY put a serious dent in the number of unused images that were in circulation. Unfortunately, as I'm discovering, there are still some users who uploaded images of guns we already have JUST for their own pages - the ''[[Chaos]]'' page was a good example before I edited it. We're gonna have to watch out for stuff like that, too - unnecessary images of guns that appear on only one page.

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

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

Hey, have you seen the special feature from the ''[[Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)‎]]'' DVD where Charles Taylor (the movie's armorer) shows off the guns used in the movie?

:You missed one of the USP Expert shots. I always thought if they got all distorted that I did the upload wrong, now I knwo. Thanks for fixing it. It looks far better now. -GM

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

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

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

==Widescreen Movies==
Two in need of fixing are MT2008's [[Training Day]] and [[The Replacement Killers]] pages, since they are on the main page. Other than my [[Rambo: First Blood]] page, I think that's it. Not to bug you or anything, I just thought I'd let you know. -GM

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

==Smokin' Aces==
I don't own it but next time I go out, I'll buy it. My to-do list is sky-high and if I keep buying movies, I'll never bring it down. This is what is in my pile now.
*The Whole Nine Yards/The Whole Ten Yards DVD double featture
*Unforgiven
*Young Guns
*The Last Boyscout
*Mr. & Mrs. Smith (unrated cut)
*Starsky & Hutch
*Daredevil (director's cut)
*Supertroopers
*30 Days of Night
*Speed
*The Dirty Dozen
*Flags of our Fathers
*The Jackal
*Absolute Power
*The Thin Red Line
*Tango & Cash
*Blazing Saddles
As you can see, I'm trying not to make it any bigger until it is a least half done. But I can add one more I suppose. Almost done with ''[[Crank]]'', than I'll do Speed, 30 Days of Night, and the Whole Yards movies. Fun. [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]] 04:08, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== I can't be nice anymore ==

Someone has to draw the line. This guy Don whatever. He just posted a NEW flash animation on this site. What the hell? I've see the pics or trash that resembles pictures of guns and he thinks those are what they are? Is he high or some punk kid that thinks it's so cool that it deserves to be on this site. Sift Head and that other flash animation thing, Taegukgi. Those are pardon my language, pieces of shit that are NOT worthy of this place that some of us hold with respect. Yeah, they seem entertaining, but if we decide to let something this slide, then whose to stop from putting other flash animations that have "drawings" of guns on them because "Oh they have guns, so therefore they should be on this site". I want to remove it, but I like a majority vote instead of me acting pissed of. I'm asking everyone else their thoughts. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

== My airsoft ==

So what do you think of my airsoft? I know a lot of people have a bad idea about what airsoft is, so what do you think? I'm a guy who likes to show off sometimes, that's one reason why I ask since I've updated pictures on my page, but more to ask what others think, particularly people who are more into firearms. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 10:28, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==RE:==

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Beretta M9==

''And if it's possible, can you obtain a U.S Military issue Beretta M9, I know it's very much the same as a Beretta 92FS, but I heard there were some slight differences, and it would go great with the M9A1 you uploaded before. But if you can't get ahold of it, it's okay. The 870 and the Beretta 92FS Inox are the main things I want.''

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

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

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

I'm back again. hahahaha. i guess I should have CC'd you on the pics updates to Gunmaster45 and MT2008. My bad. I mentioned to them that I wanted to be the one to 'do the honors' of updating the pages with my pics, but you beat me to it. :) Well, that's what I get for getting yanked out of town on an emergency film shoot for a week.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Got A Project Idea For You ==

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

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

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

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

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

::edit - Fixed it, NOW it looks like the one in the movie. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:19, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

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

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

==Re: Jacked images==

Oh, and look who it is that's been doing it, too...our good friend [[User:Cutaway|Cutaway]]. I've warned him about a whole bunch of things before (not the least of which includes uploading insane amounts of images we don't need). You think we should take harsher action this time? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:31, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

:OK, will do. But Cutaway seems to have a remarkable lack of regard for formatting and other stuff. He's also in the habit of ignoring requests. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 17:59, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

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

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

== k98k better than the smle? ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[[Image:Mossberg590Modified.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mossberg 590 Combat model (Parkerized) with 500AT wood forearm and stock - 12 gauge]]
I could have sworn that someone, someplace requested that I photograph a Mossberg 590 shotgun (parkerized version) with a 500AT wooden furniture for some movie '''but I can't remember now what it was for'''. Well, here it is! :) I actually bought the AT wood to put on one of my 590s for the pic so I sure hope that a movie used this configuration somewhere :) best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:26, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Template==
Thanks for the note. To the mods: Though my own preference is strongly towards chronological order, I can accede to the wishes of the majority. I do like the format of Title First, before actor. Please note all, in the [[Steyr AUG]] page that the title, then character, then actor template, dovetails nicely into the other genres (television) but also Anime and Video games. Since there is no Character in some and no Actor in Anime or Videgame, I think this order maintains the same look from Film all the way down to VG. Thanks and please look at the page to see what I was referring to. Thanks again. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

==Alien vs. Predator: Requiem==

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

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

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

Basically, it turns out that there may be some legal issues involved. I really can't say a whole lot more than that, but I'm trying to get to the bottom of the matter.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Re:==

Thanks for reminding me. You can probably leave it. I'm planning to re-post the other pictures in about another week or so. It's really only the ''[[Public Enemies]]'' pictures that got us into trouble, not the others, so I'll probably restore the rest at some point. I'm only waiting to see if the situation has quieted down. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 14:09, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

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

See below:''

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

== OK, i think I've got a workaround ==

You can download the old version of the image file by clicking on the date the file was uploaded, then you get the original image. Download that image and re-upload it. For some reason the revert buttons aren't working. I did try and undo changes on pages and that was working for me OK. So FYI MPM's images aren't lost, the revert function just isn't working for some reason - I'll have my network admins take a look. [[User:WikiSysop|WikiSysop]] 00:11, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

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

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

:::I still see the image he uploaded. I think it's another bug. Like Chris said, the server probably just has glitches.

Hopefully, the server team can get the glitches ironed out. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 02:32, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

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

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

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

On replacing the Glock 19 2nd Gen pics. I did that exactly why you thought I did. I wanted the file to be named Glock19 2nd Gen, not WViewpoint.jpg which made no sense, but it was the name of the original jacked image that I cleaned up per MT's request.

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

Score! I've been holding off uploading these because I'm still waiting on an image for the [[Heartbreak Ridge]] page (their weapons are set up slightly differently) so I hope people will wait to update that page until I can get a good image for that page.

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

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

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

Good to see you doin' the Mod thang again! :) Thought I was out there all alone! ;) I was tracking this 'guy' and realized that nearly all of his 'contributions to IMFDB' were things like this:
:''-Who pissed in your goddam cornflakes this morning??? Give the kid a break, he's having a little fun. So shut the fuck up unless you have something constructive to say, got it?''[[User:StrikerDelta|StrikerDelta]]

Now, those sections were kinda dumb anyway (one of them was the argument on the M16 page about full auto versus semi auto), but Mods should be the ones to delete sections, not some noob. It is not for a new guy to determine what is relevant in a discussion section, IMHO, not having had the experience of knowing what is relevant over a long time. Also he tends to delete QUESTIONS posed by other new members on discussion pages, some of which I think we should see so that we can address them.

NOT being a sanctioned facebook page, immediately makes it suspect in my eyes and I vote for deletion. These behind the scenes photos were not released by the studio. They were personally taken by people on set and 'leaked'. The only reason why I did not ban it immediately was because I thought it was an officially facebook sanctioned page. ''' It is not.''' We can get into serious trouble if studio lawyers all of a sudden get pissed at IMFDB and start sending us 'cease and desist' letters to 'remove' all of our screencaps. That would spell the END Of IMFDB. All because of one fanboy idiot. But I wonder what you think about the matter "No Harm done?" or "delete" ?

If you can find any link or resource that would have the real picture of the Sig Sauer that Robert De Niro used like on screen used. That Will be huge thing for me. Thanks, Banukis.

==Thanks for the hello!==
Yes, I've been pretty busy. Some good. some bad. It's good to see some of the old timers (aka Mods hahaha) on the site. Sometimes I pop in from time to time, usually just to see what is up and it's kinda strange seeing all these new members whom I don't know. I tend to get nervous when I see tons of newbies making tons of changes, but I suppose we have a pretty good supply of not only Mods but Veteran members who try to police all that stuff. :) I just need to get motivated (and have the time) to set up the lighting and haul all those weapons out of armory to photograph them. Thanks, I like the new IMFDB logo on the lower right hand side. I know nothing stops piracy, but at least it takes effort to remove the watermark. :) good to hear from you :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:32, 28 April 2011 (CDT)

Also, what is the status of the Transformers 3 images Liam uploaded? His Facebook gallery was gone when I checked a week ago, possibly because of copyright reasons, something else, or maybe Liam moved/concealed them into his Movie Weapon Wiki to possibly avoid copyright holders, considering that his wiki is not well-known.

== Weapon Naming Question ==

Hello.

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

An example of such weapon is '''SVU''' (incorrectly called 'SVU Dragunov', as I was explaining on the [[Talk:SVD Dragunov|corresponding talk page]]. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 06:37, 12 November 2011 (CST)

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

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

== Reply ==

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

== The Last Samurai is finished ==

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

http://heroeswiki.com/Main_Page

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

== Taking a short break. ==

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

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

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

== Thanks ==

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

== Re: Scarface ==

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

== The Beretta/M16 issue ==

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

== We need moderators ==

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

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

Hey Bunni, I was curious, aside from the overall theme, is there any relation between this site and the former Wikipedia article "List of Firearms in Films" and its' sister article, "List of Firearms in Video Games?

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

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

== BHD M1911A1 ==

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

Sorry about my absence, my computer ate it hard back in mid-september, and my internet access has been spotty at best (presently using my mom's laptop, hence why I haven't made pages for some of the things I've seen in the interim).

== About [[Snatch]] ==

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

== RE: SVT-40 ==

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

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

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

== Shooter ==

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

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

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

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

==Check out the vandal==
Some moron is now vandalizing the [[Commando]] Page. His last comment when i said 'not to delete page contents and replace them with gibberish' was ''"It's fun. Good luck"''. But he changes his IP address every time.'' ((Edit: AlienQueen took care of it. Thanks! ) I hate these vandals. ''

==Old site + front page==

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

== Images ==

I noticed that the images of guns and screenshots on movie pages on this server are a little pixaleted and fuzzy when they were crystal clear on the old server.

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

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

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

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

== Re: Which User? ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Nominations for new mods? ==

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

== Hey ==

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

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

== Thanks ==

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

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

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

== Beast of War ==

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

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

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)

==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.

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

== Delete this page? ==

What is it for and do we need it? [[User:BurtReynoldsMoustache|BurtReynoldsMoustache]] 06:14, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

== Not allowing PNG's ==

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

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

== Email ==

I tried to email you about that message you left on my talk page, but I never got a reply. So, um, hi? [[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 09:37, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

==New Web Design Error?==
When I log in, the new website design is gone and the old one appears, but when I open a picture, the new website design reappears again. Not sure if this is just my browser or something. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 02:30, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

== Database error ==

Um, hi. You propably haven't seen me before, I'm [[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]]. The message on the main page said to contact you if any problems appeared. Well... I can't see any screenshots (or any pictures at all), as if they have disappeared into thin air. I just get a message like this: "Error creating thumbnail: File seems to be missing: /home/imfdb/tmp/5/54/24S7E4_H&K_MP7A12.JPG" on top of a grey area where the picture usually is. I don't know why this is happening, but I hope they get this fixed... --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 03:06, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

== Taking out PNG's ==

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

== Upload Page problems ==

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

== Deleting history ==

I want to delete the history on my page, so it can't be reverted or accessed. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 07:23, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

== Still having problems uploading ==

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

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

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

== One more Thing ==

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

==Where's the Forum link?==

Dude, I can't get to the forum. What's happening? --[[User:Swordfish941|Swordfish941]] 01:43, 6 March 2011 (MSK)

==S&W links don't ==

I keep clicking on all the Smith & Wesson links and I go directly to the page for ''[[Smith]]''. Here see what happens. [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]]. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 04:29, 6 March 2011 (MSK)

== H&K links don't work ==

All the Heckler & Koch links redirect to a deleted page titled "Hecker". Ex. - [[Heckler & Koch MP5]]. - [[User:Kilgore|Kilgore]] 01:27, 7 March 2011 (MSK)

:I noticed that all articles with non-alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) in the titles are coming up as bad links as well. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 01:36, 7 March 2011 (MSK)

==Re: Ampersand Links==

Links with numbers are working fine, it's NON-alphanumeric characters that are causing troubles, such as the ampersand and the : symbol. Also, the glitch with image pages showing users logged out, which me and several other users have observed, is still present. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 10:56, 7 March 2011 (MSK)

== Changing Trivia Format ==

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

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

== A Few More Things ==

A couple more things of note:

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

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

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

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

==Responses==

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

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

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

==Article Problem==

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

[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 00:42, 10 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? I uploaded some images today and it seems like you can upload over them.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 03:19, 12 March 2011 (MSK)

== Hey ==

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

== Image Upload Problems continued ==

Couple of problems still with the uploading images:

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

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

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

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

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

== Image Uploads ==

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

1. Copy filename of old image.

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

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

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

==Upload Maintenance==
Thanks for looking into it. Let me know when it's done and I'll check on it. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 21:47, 20 March 2011 (CDT)

== SpaceArt ==

I don't know about this user. I just contacted him about the number of screenshots he put up for each gun. Should he be banned? --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 00:47, 22 March 2011 (CDT)

== Upload Page working ==

I tried uploading over some old images and it seems to be working now. Thanks! --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 19:55, 23 March 2011 (CDT)

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

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

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

I just took a look at it in Firefox at the same resolution and it was fine. Don't know what's the problem with Internet Explorer.
--[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 05:41, 30 April 2011 (CDT)

== Massive Vandalism ==

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

== How pagecounter works ==

Hi there i im looking for how the pagecouter works on this wiki.

Do it works on wikia.com ?

== new captcha ==

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

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

== Strange issue ==

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

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

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

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

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

== Returning Vandal ==

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

Bj

Jmd1

A1234

Jables

Jamalpickmycotton

Dimaggio1

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

== Re: IP bans ==

Thanks bunni, do what you need to do. It looks like he's back as User:JD0556. Just waiting for him to do something so I can confirm it's him.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 20:34, 8 September 2011 (CDT)

== Cloudflare ban issue ==

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

That's actually my PS3. Had a copy reserved, and while BF3 is likely to join Far Cry 2 on the list of "games I own two copies of because of IMFDB," it's kinda nice to record video rather than hammering the screenshot key and hoping. I'm also feeling better now, and I'll drop you anhother email soon. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:01, 30 October 2011 (CDT)

Is there any way to fix the different size ads that appear on the top, side and bottom?

Also a vertical ad appears at the top, forcing me to have to have scroll down a lot to get to the beginning of the page. Do you know what's going on?

== Gun Brand Pages ==

Yo. So now that at least 2 admins have contributed to the new "Gun Brand Pages" is it safe to say the idea is sticking? I want to keep working on these but I dont want to spend all this time just to have them deleted. I'm still new to this site so whats the procedure for getting this approved by the powers that be? Happy holidays, [[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 08:06, 24 December 2011 (CST)
:Thanks for your help with the [[Heckler & Koch]] page. Any feedback? You like the format? --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 14:46, 25 December 2011 (CST)

== Kampfpistole ==

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

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

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

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

:Good to see your remarks, be my guest to make changes; I will stay away from the subject for a few days hahaha Not sure of you are aware, but 'Leuchtpistole' is yet another generic nomination. It's German for 'Flare Pistol' so I think it would not be correct to put all 'Leuchtpistols' on one page, not in the least because the designs are very different. Take care, --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 10:58, 24 December 2011 (CST)

==Spammer==
Since you are one of the most active admins on this site, here is a spammer I consider banning: [[User:Grishacka1929|Grishacka1929]]. Highlighted in blue is his [[Lifetime asks, contends actual...|contribution]]. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 18:52, 24 December 2011 (CST)

==This guys is crazy==
He's a raving asshat. He's another Liam, save for the fact he does know his 1911s. But he's also being a jerk. Okay, so M1911 is the MILITARY designation, the Colt Govt. Model is the company's name for the pistols they sold to the public. M1911 is used by a lot of people as a generic description for that type of pistol. When I say Commercial M1911, I mean a commercial version of the M1911. There is nothing actually erroneous about that description. But think about it. People KNOW the difference between the M1911 and the M1911A1, they know that there were improvements made between the wars. Just calling them the Govt Model doesn't help people to ultimately get to know the difference. Boy, I sure attract a lot of guys who hate on me. This guy needs anger management. Now if we need to update the descriptions, we can. On his conduct, you were right. His rage makes him an unacceptable element on IMFDB. Doesn't matter how much he knows. If he becomes that abusive that quickly, then he is not the personality type that moves IMFDB forward. Thanks for the note. I think I (we as in you're a mod too) need to come up with a code of conduct that warns people to be polite. There are sites out there that are so deathly afraid of offending someone's sensibilities or their freedom of speech, that they are often held hostage by people who promote bad behavior. We welcome corrections when they are done in the right way. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:20, 25 December 2011 (CST)

==Se7en==
Sorry, but this page is really kind of ruined when the actor's name is mentioned. It's not really vital on this page to know who the actor was that used the weapon is on this page as much as what character used it. I understand that you disagree with a lot of edits that a particular user makes, but I'll be on the case to let the user know if the edits go overboard. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 04:30, 25 December 2011 (CST)

==Kampfpistole Z==
[[Talk:LP-42_Flare_Pistol|Any objections?]] Sounds reasonable. (I hadn't really been following the Kampfpistole saga, I sort of just stumbled into it.) --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 16:08, 27 December 2011 (CST)

== Salt featured article ==

Can you change the [[Salt]] entry on the featured article template from a SIG SG553 to a P556 SWAT with a SG550 lower please, as it is locked to me. I recently changed it on the Salt page, but featured article just came up and noticed it was now wrong. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:04, 29 December 2011 (CST)

== Dead links ==

Hey man, I've been working on converting a number of pages from the list format over to a wikitable. I've noticed that there are some cases where a movie is listed, but there is no page for that movie. For example, if you look at the [[M1911A1]], about halfway down the Films section [[Nowhere to Run]] (1993) is listed, but there is no page for it. Should it be removed when I convert it to a table?

(As a side note, I'm not actually editing the M1911 page, that was just the quickest example I could find.) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 15:52, 4 January 2012 (CST)

:Gotcha. That's super helpful! Thanks.--[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 23:00, 4 January 2012 (CST)

== Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009 ==

Yeah, did some reseach, this game is available in Europe, bt it is under a different name (Same game, different name), it is called "Cabela's Dangerous Adventures". And it is available for the PS2, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 (The page is for the Xbox/PS3 version). Don't know if you have an Xbox or a PS3, so that is up to you, and it is dirt cheap by now. - [[User:1morey]] January 15, 2012 12:40 PM (EST)

== Copyrights ==

Hey man. I was just updating a page and I noted that the "copyrights" link at the bottom that shows up any time you edit a page is now red. When I clicked on it I noticed that you deleted the page. Just wanted to make sure you were aware that every time you edit a page or a discussion post, a link to that page shows up on the bottom. Any issue with me putting up a redirect on the old Copyright page that takes you to the "General disclaimer" page? --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 10:18, 16 January 2012 (CST)

==Copyright page==
There's still time... (Seriously though, is there any legal reason why TOS's and disclaimers have to be a solid block of text? During my newspaper days, we avoided solid blocks of text whenever possible and cringed whenever we saw them in other papers. It's just telling readers "Don't read this.") --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 12:36, 16 January 2012 (CST)

== Manufacturer Template ==

I created a template for the manufacturer pages ([[Manufacturer Template]]). I am going to add a link to it from the <nowiki>[[Category:Manufacturer]]</nowiki> page. I would love any input from you and other admins on it. I want to make it as straight forward as possible. Thanks! --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 13:36, 19 January 2012 (CST)

== Re: NSV ==

Hi. Thanks for the info. It is strange though, why would KBP have an image of the Kord on their site, which is made by Degtyarev? --[[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 11:27, 22 January 2012 (CST)
:I am totally confused now... >< Please delete the pic then, I reupload it with a correct name if and when I will make a page for the Degtyarev compnay. Thanks. --[[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 12:56, 22 January 2012 (CST)

==Idontthinksotim==
I don't this is actually directed to you. It's a catchphrase from the American series ''Home Improvement''. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 04:41, 21 February 2012 (CST)

== Top Shot - Season 3 ==

Hey man. I saw your edit on [[Top Shot - Season 3]]. While I get what your saying that revolvers technically are pistols... That distinction isn't made elsewhere on the site. For example, the [[NCIS]] and [[Burn Notice]] pages, some of the most popular on the site, list '''Pistols''' and '''Revolvers'''. It seems like an unnecessary distinction to make... I respect my elders and know you are an admin, I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest or anything but it just seems unnecessary to me, particularly since that isn't the way it is done elsewhere on the site. Thoughts? --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 15:44, 23 February 2012 (CST)
:IMHO, it seems like '''Pistols''' and '''Revolvers''' fall under the overall heading of '''Handguns'''... "When distinguished as a subset of handguns, a pistol is a handgun with a chamber that is integral with the barrel, as opposed to a revolver, wherein the chamber is separate from the barrel as a revolving cylinder." Webster gives a similar definition. I take back what I said previously. Based on a little more research it seems that a "pistol" always refers to a Handgun where the chamber is integrated in the barrel. For example, a [[Derringer]] would be a pistol despite not being semi-auto. Any handgun with a rotating cylinder would be a revolver and they would all fall under the overall category of '''Handguns'''. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 16:48, 23 February 2012 (CST)
::Thats actually really interesting! Never knew you guys defined it differently over there. :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 11:24, 24 February 2012 (CST)

== SOCOM 4 ==

So I'm in the middle of leaving a message for Commandoninja137 (the guy who created the SOCOM 4 page, if were calling 'that' a page...) warning him that the page was about to be deleted because of his lack of effort. I had JUST added the ''nuke'' tag to the page right before i posted the message on his discussion page. When i posted it with the <nowiki>[[SOCOM 4]]</nowiki> tag, the link came up in red. I'm thinking "huh, I musta mispelled it"... but no. You beat me to the punch and got rid of the page literally seconds after I nuked it. GOOD MANNNN!!! :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 15:29, 25 February 2012 (CST)
:I'm kind of surprised the page lasted as long as it did. I wanted to just delete the stuff copied from Wikipedia, but then the page would be completely empty and would look even worse. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 15:45, 25 February 2012 (CST)
::Yes, I know. I grew suspicious because it was a little too... nice. I cleaned up and consolidated the dead links a few months back, and I don't think there's a single SOCOM game here that could be considered complete. I know they're console only, but still...

== DVD Screenshots ==

I mostly have DVD and the Blue-Ray I have is a Blue-Ray/DVD combo pack so I'm set. What I'm wondering though is can you get screencaps from things like Hulu and Netflix? --[[User:Yo dawg 111|Yo dawg 111]] 09:29, 26 February 2012 (CST)

== Re: G36C ==

It indeed looks similar, although the nomenclature appears to be different. Anyways, I will add it and if someone can find a better match, he will change it. Thanks. --[[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 12:52, 27 February 2012 (CST)

== Masterkey in Homefront ==

Hi. Please change the Masterkey's gun image on the [[Homefront]] page to this one, as this has a slightly better quality, and it is visible that the rifle is actually a KAC SR-16, not a Colt M4.
[[Image:KAC Masterkey.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Masterkey shotgun mounted on a KAC SR-16 rifle - 12 Gauge]]
Thank you. --[[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 07:55, 25 March 2012 (CDT)

== Grenades ==

DAMITTTTTT. Sorry about that mate. I will be more careful. Frankly I didn't know there was such thing as an Airsoft grenade... Thanks for alerting me to the mistake. :-)

While I'm writing to ya, I might as well mention the [[AK Gallery]]. I totally get what you are saying about guns like the Dragunov and will 100% defer to your judgment. I felt like it was worth putting them on the page since they look similar but if you don't think they belong, I totally understand. It's all about what will be most useful in identifying the guns. :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 11:23, 27 March 2012 (CDT)

== Doom Nuke tag ==
I put the nuke tag due to this subsection of the rules.
http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Rules,_Standards_and_Principles#Anime:_Rules_.26_Restrictions
Also the page was previously deleted on the same grounds.

== The Dark Knight ==
A) Seriously? You've never seen ''[[The Dark Knight]]''? B) Yes, that is a bigger spoiler, I'd tell you more, but I don't want to spoil anything for you, C) Come on, seriously? --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 02:11, 5 April 2012 (CDT)

::Which is the reason why I removed the reference in the page. That particular user who wrote those captions constantly gives away important plot points for no good reason. The user has been warned. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 03:19, 5 April 2012 (CDT)

== This is Glock17gen4, why was I blocked? ==

I have done nothing wrong, and you blocked me and reverted my edits. Here's the reason you left: "(Abusing multiple accounts: Hey there Burt, you're still banned, go away.)" My name isn't Burt, it's Danny. I tryed to use the Glock17gen4 account to contact you about this but it wouldnt allow me to leave a message on your talk page, I would like the block reverted please, as I dont know who this "Burt" is and have done nothing wrong. I really think you have me confused with someone else...PS: do you have email we can discuss this on? [[User:SaferSephiroth|SaferSephiroth]] 20:40, 6 April 2012 (CDT)
