== Does cylinder cartridge conversions work on older Remington revolvers of the right caliber? ==

I have read about these modern conversion cylinders that work with the modern reproductions of the Remington Cap and Ball revolvers, where you simply switch the cylinder and you have a cartridge revolver. I wonder if these work on original Remington revolvers from the 1860's? I know those revolvers could not handle smokeless cartridges, but, for example, a .38 Special cylinder can still fire shorter rounds, like .38 Short Colt, which original Navy models would have been converted to, can't it?

== MP5 Reloading? ==

Is it possible to reload an MP5 like described in the text regarding the 2015 version? Wouldn't pulling the charging handle back, then reloading and moving it forwards again make it an open bolt weapon? Ir is it possible to reload closed bolt weapons like that? [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 18:12, 7 August 2015 (EDT)
:As described is correct. On the MP5 there is a hook at the back of the charging handle slot, which means that the bolt can be retracted and the charging handle turned upwards slightly to lock the bolt to the rear. At this point you can put in a new magazine, and then when it is in place you can "slap" the charging handle out of the slot which allows the bolt to go forwards and load the first round from the magazine. This is exactly the same in concept to any other closed bolt weapon that can have the bolt held open (either by being locked open on an empty mag or manually as is the case with the MP5). On an open bolt weapon, when you pull the charging handle back it would stay to the rear without having to engage it in a hold open slot (although a lot of open bolt guns do have a similar notch which acts as a safety of sorts), and generally the only way to get the bolt to go forward is to pull the trigger. However, when the text says "one mid-magazine where the magazines are simply swapped (which can be difficult to do on an MP5 with a full magazine and the bolt closed, hence the usual HK slap)", this isn't really true. Well, it is sort of true but only if the incorrectly try to use a magazine loaded with 31 rounds rather than the 30 rounds it is designed for. The taught method is still to lock the bolt back during a reload though, but I do not believe this is actually to do with making the magazine easier to insert (although it does eliminate a potential problem if you didn't pay attention when loading your magazines), but rather it is done to make sure there is not chance of you riding the bolt forward as instead you slap it free of the hold open notch. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:33, 7 August 2015 (EDT)
Thanks for the answer, I didn't know you could lock the bolt back first before reloading on closed bolt weapons. I guess that's what happens when one never has operated a real weapon. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 19:04, 7 August 2015 (EDT)

== What are the rules ==

Sorry to drag you into this; you're simply an admin whose talk page isn't locked. Simple question: what on earth happened here:

http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Mutant_Chronicles&action=history

My notes on the talk page for the were a genuine and good-faith attempt to contribute and they were deleted without comment. I presume I've offended some obscure house rule of yours, but regardless, it's a pretty arrogant and unilateral thing to do on the part of MoviePropMaster2008, and hardly the way to encourage people to get involved.

== 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?

== Kampfpistole ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hey man, I've been working on converting a number of pages from the list format over to a wikitable.

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)

== Nukes... ==

I'm sorry. You're right. :-( Let me explain where I'm coming from (just so you don't think I'm trolling the site looking for pages to nuke). I am in the process of trying to convert every gun page from the list format to table format. As I go through, whenever I find an entry that is missing a date I go to that entries page. If that page has an "incomplete" tag, is far from complete and hasn't had any work done in a longgg time, I have been nuking them. As was mentioned in the forum, these are (for the most part), drive-by creations. Pages made by a user who was here for a few weeks and then never returned.

But, at the end of the day, you are correct. I will tone it down on the nuke tags and reserve them for REALLY poor pages. Sorry. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 09:52, 7 May 2012 (CDT)

== Infoboxes ==

Hey. So first off, a disclaimer, I am posting the following message for each of the Admins so don't think I'm spamming. Just want to get input from all of you. I have been working on a number of infoboxes for different pages ([[Template:Infobox Movie]], [[Template:Infobox TV]], [[Template:Infobox Video Game]]). I have already gotten some help from [[Bunni]] who installed an additional add-on to facilitate the templates. I would love to get some feedback from you (and other admins) regarding these. Do you like the format? Are there things you would like changed? Should additional information be added? The nice thing is that with the add-on that [[Bunni]] installed, you do not have to provide all the information for the infobox. Any variables left blank will simply not be printed.

Finally, I would like to see how you feel about my adding these to pages. I have gotten positive feedback from a number of users (including at least 3 admins) but before I add this to more than a dozen or so pages (which I have done for testing purposes) I want to really get full permission. I know that sweeping changes are a '''MAJOR''' no-no without full admin approval. Check out the thread in the forum (http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=1942).

== Minor Note ==

I totally get what your saying and agree. We did discuss this a while back. I have stopped removing the entry with the exception of pages that were deleted for not meeting IMFDB standards. And even then I only remove them if the media in question doesn't meet standards, not just because the page wasn't complete. In other words if the page was deleted because no one had worked on it I leave the entry but if the page was deleted because it was a Documentary or a youtube video then I do delete the entry.

==aha==
Yes, that is the first model LAW, the M72. It doesn't have the metal framed front site but has a solid piece of clear plastic. When the Army demilled them, they just snapped off the plastic front plate, which makes it hard to fix because the clear plastic base (with the spring) is still in the sight base. Apparently that was done because the first pattern sights were 'night sights' and were "radioactive". That pic is still a trainer though. I will try to post a pic of the actual first pattern LAW. I have one, but like most folks, my front sight is broken. They really did some weird stuff to that LAW for the film though (pyro insert tube not withstanding). :D [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 13:56, 12 June 2012 (CDT)

:::::Is KillerUzi the same as Gunner95 then? We made the connection because they both claimed to be 10 year old filmmakers. Gunner95 kept trying to make a page for HIS film, a film no one else could've possibly have seen, which is actually documented on IMDb. The other pages that Gunner95 made also gel with Declan's IMDb bio. So let's lay out the facts here: Layla was a sleeper, almost definitely planted by Liam. His bio also fits with Liam's air force fantasy. Layla also came overnight (East Coast time,) so Layla is probably not Declan (who's a ten year old on the east coast). Weston has the same MO as Layla, but claims to be from the same area as Declan, and that's something he could've only known if he either knew Declan or his movie, since neither KillerUzi or Gunner95 disclosed that here. So maybe they're friends? They both claim to be filmmakers, maybe there's a connection there. Family relations? They both have vaguely Irish names. (oooh, Irish, another connection...)

== Re Removed Picture of SIG-Sauer P228 ==
This picture is also of a blankadapted SIG, and I didn't remove the other picture of a SIG, I only added mine that is in high quallity defination. Also even if the picture already there is a SIG P228, i don't claim otherwise, actually looks more like a air-soft gun. Look at the talkpages for SIGs and you see other has maked that claim, and said that they would have wanted an aditional picture. --[[User:thejoker|thejoker]]
::HI there Evil Tim. I admit that the Sig P228 is probably the worst gun in our inventory. It had been slid under a truck and had been actually repaired several times. It is NOT an airsoft, but it does look like crap. The grips were sanded down for some strange reason a long time ago and I don't know why. I will pull another P228 today and resubmit it.

== Re Removed Picture of Kalashnikov AKS ==
You are right that it is a small picture, but it is the only picture of an actual AKS with the stock unfolded, the old picture I put up which was taken from the right side I removed because I had touble uploading it and if you use it you have to put it in uneven, strange, number of pixels or it will look compressed. The size of the new picture is adequate in size to use, I thougt You shouldn't have the reference picture the same size as the screencaps anyway. --[[User:thejoker|thejoker]]

== Re Removed Pictures ==
Okey, I wont argue any more about the SIG P228 picture as he will upload a new one. Why I started replacing AKS pictures was because users had used the Type I AKS with a stamped receiver when the guns in the screencaps were clearly of milled receiver type, also since the Type I AKS had it's stock unfolded I thought it would fit to have a Type III with a stuck unfolded, wich makes the guns in the picture match the AKs with woodn' stock in size which looks better.The picture that I uploaded before, the one that looked compressed, sometimes actually needed to change more than one px, not always though, to update so it would look uncompressed. I tried whit one and then took of one px at a time untill updated. I'm not the best at how all this stuff work I admitt that but I'm telling you what actually hapened. If [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]s pictures is the ones to go with we, or you as I don't know how to talk to him on his page, sould ask him to upload an aditional picture of an AKS Type III with it's stock unfolded. --[[User:thejoker|thejoker]]

As for the Heckler & Koch SMG II / MP2000 mistake, I thought they were the same program. Gun magazines I read during the trial periods made it seem like they were one and the same.

The vertical grip is a lot longer in the movie, which made me think it was a magazine. It looks like a prop that was just whipped up. If I recall, doesn't he carry it dissembled in a briefcase? There's no reason it should be this blocky.

Sometimes an entry in a series is good good, it ruins the series because no subsequent entry can compare favorably with it, (''[[Aliens]]'' always comes to mind) and I always thought Bond games were victims of ''Goldeneye 007'''s success and legacy, but that sounds truly awful. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 11:43, 22 January 2013 (EST)

== Bioshock Infinite - Kar98k, not 1903 ==

Check out the upper handguard on the sniper rifle in Bioshock: Infinite. Clearly that of a Kar98k, not a Springfield 1903. Additionally, the rear sights match that of the Kar98k. There are no discernible features on the sniper that resemble a 1903, other than the generic-looking buttstock. (Just to mention:) The front sights are enfield-style, which is odd.

So, let's tally things up:
Similarities to 1903: Front sling attachment.
Similarities to Kar98k: Rear sight, upper handguard.
Similarities to Enfield: Front sight.
I'd say the Kar98k still wins out. Unless you can provide pictures to support your claim that it is more similar to a 1903A3, I'm gonna have to change it back to the Kar.

:Well, to be honest, the Crysis games now, with the exception of the first one, are very disappointing and dissatisfying anyway compared to the [[Far Cry]] series, which got even better with [[Far Cry 3]] (although it got monotonous after the game is completed and all of the outposts are captured). Besides, the plot of [[Crysis 3]] is nothing interesting and can be simplified as, "I'm Prophet and I can kill everything!" and a smaller step backwards compared to the older games. Also, I only notified you of the page so you can offer whatever comments you have of the subject based on whatever we know from the older games since there's so much to the game and it makes occasional references to the first game that I might be missing a few things. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] ([[User talk:Kenny99|talk]]) 20:53, 12 April 2013 (EDT)

=="GTA 2: The Movie"==
I've been wondering about this for a while now but I wasn't sure if the promotion video for Grand Theft Auto 2 could be documented here. In case you didn't know the "GTA 2 Movie" is really an unnamed film released by DMA Design (now known as Rockstar North) and is currently available on Rockstar's site. The reason I am asking is because I am not sure where exactly to put it since GTA 2 doesn't seem to have anything resembling "real" firearms (take a look at the HUD icon for the [http://images.wikia.com/gtawiki/images/a/a7/Pistol-GTA2-icon.png Pistol] and per the rules dose not warrant a page.[[User:Mr.Ice|Mr.Ice]] ([[User talk:Mr.Ice|talk]]) 19:20, 30 April 2013 (EDT)

It appears rather unprecedented. I think the closest comparison I can come up with offhand is ''Command & Conquer: Red Alert'', and that ended up spawning its own franchise.

If ''[[Call of Duty: United Offensive]]'' has its own page (and I don't think it should), this should certainly qualify. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 13:13, 2 May 2013 (EDT)

== Game screenshots ==

Hi. I have noticed you have done several video game pages on IMFDB, and was wondering if you could help me out. I recently got rid of my old laptop and built a semi-powerful PC. I have always concentrated my focus on films and television series on IMFDB, but now I have the chance to do video games too. I just don't know what to use when taking shots from video games. There's a couple of games I see here that lack proper screenshots, and since no one else seem to be wanting to finish them off, I might as well give it a shot. I've tried a couple of screenshot programs like Gadwin and Greenshot, but they were not to my liking. I've heard Fraps is good, but my roommate/friend says it's a piece of crap. If you could give a tip or two, I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance, --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] ([[User talk:Warejaws|talk]]) 08:26, 9 May 2013 (EDT)

And thanks for the tip on the mouse, I have an older Logitech gaming mouse and I'll definitely be dedicating one of these buttons to taking screenshots. --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] ([[User talk:Warejaws|talk]]) 07:20, 10 May 2013 (EDT)

== Re: "Radom" pistol official name ==

Yes, You're right: name of that pistol should read "wz. 35" - my fault. Polish naming conventions are somehow unclear: sometimes they use full year, sometimes not. For example Polish Tokarev copy full name is "pistolet wojskowy wzór 1933" (military pistol model of 1933), and it's abbreviation "pw wz. 33", but I've seen documents calling it "pw wz. 1933", "pw wz.33" (no space), or "PW wz. 33". It's even more fun with Polish PPS SMG copy, that was often called PM-43 - "PM" is Radom factory designation for indigenous SMG designs, and they never used that name on "pm wz. 43" (USSR designs in Poland had the same names in army and Radom works). And in fact both (pw wz. 33 and pm wz. 43) designations don't comply with Polish naming convention - numbers should indicate year when particular firearm was adopted (1944 in this case). 
I'm going then to fix names of other Polish guns which are on IMFDB, if that's not a problem, but I'll leave [[RADOM (Polish WZ. 35 VIS Pistol)]] as it is for a while - until me and [[User:Commando552|Commando552]] will find if it's name should use caps (like it's on the gun's slide), or not (like in producer's documents). --[[User:Chris22lr|Chris22lr]] ([[User talk:Chris22lr|talk]]) 12:47, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

And can you check the last topics I wrote for the Bizon-2 with early stock here: [[Talk:Izhmash PP-19 Bizon]] and for the Remington 870 MCS here: [[Talk:Remington Model 870]]? And a question: do usual bolt-action rifles with internal magazines or stripper clip (such as [[Remington 700]] and [[M1903 Springfield]]) hold 1 extra round in chamber?

== Metal Gear Solid 4 and Rising ==

Your user page claims MGS4 is still on your list, but it's clearly been a while since you uploaded screenshots for that game. Are you still "on the job" or not? It would have been nice if you could have gotten screenshots of character-specific weapons in MGO (such as Raiden with his HK Mk. 23 handgun that he only draws in multiplayer), but that ship is obviously not coming back.

As for Rising, what are you going to do if the PC version is locked to 720p or a lower resolution (as is common for sloppy PC ports of console games)? Konami used to be better than this (just check out my screenshots for [[Silent Hill 3]]) but a more recent title of theirs, [[Silent Hill: Homecoming]], was both resolution-locked and crash-prone. I wouldn't be surprised if this was also the case for MGR:R. Come to think of it, it would have been nice if Konami had released a good PC port of MGS4 so people could continue to play MGO2 (and get more updates for it; why are so few weapons from the main game available for MGO2?).

And I was referring to how Sam's sheath operates. It certainly isn't built to ''completely'' resemble a blank-cartridge-using captive bolt "pistol" (and I take issue with that term when applied to things like that, but that's another story), but it certainly ''operates'' like one in that it projects the shaft of a bolt a short distance from the barrel (albeit to propel a sword forward and not for striking something directly with the bolt shaft). To my knowledge, "semiautomatic" captive bolt pistols using blank cartridges haven't been made in reality, not because it's technically impossible, but because captive bolt pistols using compressed air can provide "semiautomatic" operation without the cost of blank ammunition. I made a similar comparison for the [[Metro 2033]] page when I mentioned how the [[Metro_2033#.22Helsing.22_Speargun|"Helsing" Crossbow]] resembles a pepperbox revolver despite not being a firearm.

I'm not one for edit wars, but I would like to respectfully request that the relevant parts I added in (such as bolt shaft of Sam's sheath retracting on its own being similar to that aspect of real captive bolt pistols) be retained in your next edit for that section, as well as the unrealistic aspects of the sheath with regards to swordsmanship. Why is Sam's sheath back in the "Rifle" section despite it not being a firearm (it doesn't even throw a projectile free of the barrel and obviously features no barrel rifling), anyway?

Please look into adding a screenshot from the opening scene in Sam's DLC I mentioned in the last edit as well. Come to think of it, more shots from his DLC campaign would be nice too. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh|talk]]) 20:50, 30 December 2013 (EST)

:E-cigs? That sounds like something the various Snakes would scoff at. Anyway, yes, an honest-to-goodness combat-capable katana wouldn't hold up under "HF conversion" because in all likelihood something like that would require a specific material compound with different structural properties than sword-appropriate steel. MG:R handwaves this by claiming the high-frequency process isn't like the "vibroblade" concept of older sci-fi but instead causes vibration on a molecular level that strengthens the material.

:You could restart work on MGS4 by first providing screenshots solely for the weapons you haven't provided sufficient screenshots for first, then remaking those that already exist in low definition. Would be easier that way.--[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh|talk]]) 02:37, 11 January 2014 (EST)

== RE: T-101 ==

Well, I have heard claimed 'official' explanations on both sides, though usually it's generally accepted that the 'T' always designates the series, while the 'Model' is what the appearance is meant to be. As for canon distinctions, well, Arnie describes himself as ''Model 101'' in T2. I suppose 'T-101' can be used as a sort of shorthand I suppose, kinda like in T3, when the Terminator says 'T-101'- Though I always saw that as more a dialogue mistake akin to the 'Light Special' line in ''[[Magnum Force]]'' but it could be seen also as a kind of contraction (though I wouldn't think machines would use contractions or shorthands, but that's another thing). When stating 'T-101' with the other 'T's, it's not only technically incorrect on some level but it just seems hokey and potentially misleading to me. But I get your point as well, and it can be simpler when discussing the other films even if it isn't strictly correct (which is something we do around here, mainly with the firearms but still). Mainly I just like to be as technically accurate as possible (that's kinda something we do around here too, heh). As I suggested, you could interchange just 'Terminator' in those spots, as it's also pretty clear what you mean there as well and it dodges this issue totally. I do like that bit of the film being brought up - I've seen a lot of discussions about that minor point and stuff, it is noteworthy. Anyway, I just wanted to be accurate - If you really want to change it back though, I won't make a big stink about it or anything. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 12:56, 28 December 2014 (EST)
: Trust me, as a mostly purist T1 and T2 fan, I too regard T3 as an abomination, when I regard it in the first place, which isn't much. All it really is a retarded retread of T2, and one nobody really asked for I don't think. But again, that's another thing. I still think the 'T-101' line was was an oversight and mistake, and trying to logically explain it away in regards to the other films just leaves one with a headache (among other things, as you should well know), I agree, nothing in there can be reliably referenced in terms of canon, and I try not to think about it. But I also want to be diplomatic and include it since it is there, hence my alternate idea of just using the more-character term 'Terminator' (as no matter what it's pseudo-technically called, there's only been '''one''' Terminator, and everything else, no matter where it appeared, has been definitively called something else - "T1000", "T-X", etc) and calling it a day. I certainly don't want your brain further pondering something completely inane on my behalf. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 12:46, 29 December 2014 (EST)

== Questions about weapons on a VG page. ==

Hello, I am not familiar with how this discussion section works but I have seen no other way to contact users.

I had made some questions on the talk page of Crysis 2 on this site, but seeing as it no longer shows up on most recent changes and it doesn't feel like anyone will come by and see it, I instead decided to contact someone on this site in order to ask directly. At first I contacted Kenny99 as it seemed he had done the most work on the Crysis Series. I have not gotten any response though, and it has been a while. Now I have decided to ask you instead, as you seem to do a lot of work on VG pages. I have gotten the feeling the Crysis series isn't very liked here, but I like it and would like to get some answers to my questions, even if you only guess.

Would you mind helping me, by answering my questions, either on the user talk page or the Crysis 2 talk page. I would very much appreciate it. Otherwise please guide me to a user you belive could help me. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 12:48, 6 January 2015 (EST)

I haven't talked with anyone on Imfdb before so I am not really not sure how I respond to your message. There is no reply button either on my talk page or yours so I'm just posting this on yours now. Let me know I should do next time.

My questions can be found on the Crysis 2 talk page here:[[Talk:Crysis_2#Some_questions_about_the_weapons.|Talk:Crysis_2]]

I understand exactly how you feel about it since I used to feel the same, but as the memories of the first Crysis started to fade away I also lost some of my bias against Crysis 2 and decided to give the sequels another chance once and for all and played Crysis 3 this Christmas. While it obviously was not as good as the previous the two, it at least gave some closure to the story and that alone helps the first two games a bit as well.

I recently bought Crysis 2 on the Steam sales and played it again shortly afterwards. I noticed that Crysis 2 had a lot of good aspects that I ignored eariler. Yes, it's no longer on an island, very few vehicles to use, they killed off Nomad just like that and went with a silent main character and there are lot's of more problems. But some things did improve, on the other hand.

Perhaps you wouldn't mind giving your opinion on my thoughts, it would be fun hearing what someone else who is also interested in guns thinks regarding this. I'm not trying to change your opinion, but if you want to know what I think did get better then let me know. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 17:20, 6 January 2015 (EST)

Yeah, that was pretty akward in the third game, I would have liked Rasch to be in more than two scenes or something as well. I'll wait for answers, thanks for helping.
Also, were you interested in hearing what parts I do think Crysis 2 made better. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 17:56, 6 January 2015 (EST)

Ok, here is my perspective.

First, a lot of the weapons actually makes sense in the setting, unlike the first Crysis. In the first Crysis there was only one North Korean weapon, the FY-71. For some reason all North Koreans used the same pistol, submachine guns, sniper rifles and so on as the American soldiers did which is not very realistic. Then some of the guns didn't make a lot of sense either, like the 6.8mm Scar that somehow could hold more rounds than a 5.56mm rifle.

In Crysis 2 there was a better variety in guns and they had some thought behind them (In my opinion). Atleast it was much better than the random mess of nonsense guns you see in the yearly CoD.

- The M12 Nova seems to be the next American Service Pistol, which makes sense, as it can easily mount accessories, is in 9mm and the last pistol to recieve a Model designation was the M11.

- The Hammer may seem like just another stupid Desert Eagle replacement, but I don't think that is the case. If you look at the ejected cartridges they are slightly wider, but hardly any longer than the Nova's, I think the .50 Compact is supposed to be something like the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_GI .50 GI], which is much more likely in a military pistol than a Magnum cartridge.

- The Grendel is actually a logical succesor to, or atleast a complement to, the M16A4. It is chambered in the intermediate-intermediate 6.8 SPC, therefore holds less rounds per magazine, and keeps the 3-round burst/semi-automatic fire selector of the current M16/M4 family of military rifles.

- The SCAR goes the other way and replaces the 5.56mm with a smaller cartridge in a larger magazine, which is an interesting idea. The SCAR (Rifle) and SCARAB (Carbine) also reflects the M16 Rifle and M4 Carbine.

- The Mk 60 is likely a successor to the Mk 48, while the JAW is a successor to the M136 AT4. Nothing really weird there.

But I think I most of all liked how the USMC you fight together with at several points in the game are portrayed. They felt realistic. They were competent, tough but not too confident. They tried to, and sort of successfully did, organize an evacuation. You don't often see a good, not over-the-top portrayal of the military in a game, but I think Crysis 2 did it great. Maybe you disagree, maybe I'm completely off here, I do not know much about how militaries operates nowadays. But It was a great deal better than most of what is out there, especially in a certain other franchise.

By the way, you may wonder why Crysis 2 and not the third game. Well, I am modding it a bit on my free time right know, mostly for fun, and Crysis 3 is not able to be modded like the first two games. C2 is also twice as long and has a stronger campaign in terms of gameplay in my opinion, and the Alien weapons in C3 are of no interest to me. Therefore I find it more suited for making mods. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 18:18, 6 January 2015 (EST)

Have you looked at my questions yet? I'm not in a rush to have them answered, but I would like to know if I should expect it to take some time? Then I don't have to check back so often. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 19:54, 9 January 2015 (EST)

If you get the time, you can help me with just some of the questions, i'd appreciate getting it answered as soon as you are able. You don't need to put much effort into it, you can just guess if you want to. Anyway, I won't write any more here now, but I'll just let you know that I am waiting and don't need overly detailed answers. I can wait, but I'd rather have it answered before I move on to another game. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 16:37, 15 January 2015 (EST)

It was the first ''Resistance'', and while it was about as [[Special:Undelete/Resistance:_Fall_of_Man|half-assed]] as pages go, the admin's stated reason was that none of the guns were real enough.

==Erm...==

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

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

**The majority of Crysis' weapons are based closely on real-life weapons, many being combinations of parts from several; that goes for the majority of the vehicles, too [for example, the US tank is a combination of the M1A1 Abrams, British Challenger I and Israeli Merkava 3: I don't know why they went for old versions of the three tanks, mind]. Avoiding precisely replicating real weapons means you don't have to pay fees to anyone for the image of that weapon to appear in your game; it seems 'Frankenguns' like the ones in Crysis aren't enough to get copyright claims filed. [[User:Tim|Tim]] 04:38, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

== I think the article on Crysis is pretty much finished. ==

It doesn't need any more images, particularly low-quality, non-gameplay images. I think it's fine as it is and we should focus on getting something like Far Cry 2 up to the same standard. [[User:Dongs|Dongs]] 18:28, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Kenny, Not sure what you mean on the post. I stated the info on the forum and it was posted on the page.

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

He's indeed speaking German. In his first comment he said "What the? That does not look like an M1911A1."

To translate his newest comment to you:

"Yes"

"You are destroying my work, Kenny99! And the weapon in Lois and Clark is a Glock 18!"

After you reply, he said:

"I do not understand English."

So basically, he doesn't understand a word we are saying, so in order to talk to him, I'll need to brush up on my German grammar. I can translate but writing in the proper way (since it requires proper cases and grammar) will be more difficult.

==Lois & Clark==

Hi,

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

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

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

==re: Lois and Clark==

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

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

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

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

==Re:==

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

==Re: Whew==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==RE:Carbines, Repeating Rifles==

Good questions. Here's my take:

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

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

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

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

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

Unless you have a Blu ray copy of the film, I would suggest not overwriting the images. Usually movies downloaded from Itunes are not in the full HD resolution as on blu ray copies. I will go through and redo some of the oversaturated images. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 23:14, 9 October 2011 (CDT)

I took a look at the thumbnail version of your screenshots, and they're pretty good. The only way you can really tell the difference is when you blow them up to the full resolution (there's a lack of grain from HD streaming sources). Since that's not the way most people will view them, go ahead and replace the ones that were originally at DVD resolution or lower. I would only ask that you don't overwrite the one's I've already bumped up to HD. The ones for the DsHK and grenade sections are actually from an HDTV broadcast that has more visual information at the top and bottom, so please don't overwrite these. Typically, if the resolution appears to 1920 x 1080, that's the highest resolution from Blu-ray, but it runs very slow on my computer at that resolution. I usually put them from my blu-ray to my computer and then reduce them in resolution using various programs in order to view them on other computers without a slowdown. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 23:28, 10 October 2011 (CDT)

== Spammers ==

Thanks for the list, I've banned atleast a few of them. I saw the pattern in thier names and figured I'll just get rid of them right when I see them to prevent them from doing anything. As for the format of their names, they must be coming from a single bot or something automated, I'll keep watching for more as I go.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] 22:00, 16 October 2011 (CDT)

== Re: Blu-Ray codecs for VLC ==

Yes, that's easy (most of the time): [http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_play_m2ts_files.cfm| see this].
You can use that guide to open Blu-Rays with VLC, but beware, doesn't work on every Blu-Ray.

Most of the time I use a software (such as AnyDVD) to rip the Blu-Ray onto my external hard drive. After that I usually compress the 1080p film into a smaller 720p file (which is still above standard DVD quality), since my laptop is 4 years old now and lags a bit when i watch/screencap movies. For some pages, (like [[Heat]] or [[Collateral]], for instance) I am willing to go trough the countless delays in playback after I take a screencap, but for most films am not.

Hope this helps you. Oh, and sorry for the late reply.

== Third person ==

I'm not a fan of those, simply because they're not what the game actually looks like. I'll try to get the equivalent scenes in actual gameplay. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 13:23, 27 November 2011 (CST)

:The current images are placeholders to get rid of that cropped image. It's fantastically boring to look at. If you click on those images it's more than clear what's what. As for third-person, you can get plenty of good images of enemies holding weapons in first person, with the benefit that it's what the game actually looks like; it's also not strictly necessary to have a third-person image of every gun unless there's something interesting to point out about the third-person model or someone important uses it.

:You can't really say an image is "in game" when it doesn't look like anything that can actually happen in the game itself. First person images are also better because things tend to actually be happening in them. Here, some examples.

:[[Image:MW1-Shipunov-Placeholder.jpg|thumb|none|600px|During the mission "Safehouse" MacTavish can call upon the services of an Mi-28 "Havoc" gunship to provide fire with missiles and its Shipunov 2A42 autocannon.]]
:[[Image:Mi-28-CoD4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Mi-28 Havoc flies overhead with a chin-mounted Shipunov 2A42 in "One Shot, One Kill".]]

:The first image has the advantages that it's the Havoc (a) in the game itself and (b) actually doing something.

:[[Image:MW1-M197-PlaceholderA.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An AH-1W Super Cobra comes to Jackson's assistance at the end of the mission "The Bog."]]
:[[Image:MW1-M197-PlaceholderB.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pelayo's Super Cobra goes down after taking a hit to the tail rotor in the mission "Shock And Awe."]]
:[[Image:Cobraheli-CoD4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Two AH-1W Super Cobras provides air support for the U.S. Marines with its M197 Vulcan cannon in "The Bog".]]

:Again, the first two images are from a viewpoint the player can actually achieve in the game itself; this means you're more accurate in telling people which mission it happens in because these scenes ''do'' happen in those missions. The third-person version never happens at all; without console codes the player will never see these things from those angles. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 01:17, 28 November 2011 (CST)

== Matrix screenshots ==

Are you planning on replacing all the screenshots for ''[[The Matrix]]''? I would discourage this because there isn't much of a difference between your HD shots and the ones I've already done and I don't want you to waste your time redoing shots that would result in only a marginal difference in quality. There are still a few DVD screenshots that were not redone by me on the page, so my advice would be to concentrate on those. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 02:10, 5 December 2011 (CST)

Sorry for late reply, but I agree with the admins and besides, Blu Ray, regardless of image format, is still higher quality than SD images due to the large amount of data within the images. You can see the images yourself and compare the current images with that of the older ones on the Pearl Harbor page. The only time a high resolution screenshot would be extremely low quality
is if an sd version of a movie is upscaled and modified to fit your monitor screen. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] ([[User talk:Kenny99|talk]]) 03:43, 2 June 2013 (EDT)

== Questions about weapons on a VG page. ==

Hello, I am not familiar with how this discussion section works but I have seen no other way to contact users.

I had made some questions on the talk page of Crysis 2 on this site, but seeing as it no longer shows up on most recent changes and it doesn't feel like anyone will come by and see it, I instead decided to contact you as it seems you had done the most work on the Crysis 2 page.

Would you mind helping me, by answering my questions, either on the user talk page or the C2 talk page. I would very much appreciate it. Otherwise please guide me to a user you belive could and would help me. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 11:22, 2 January 2015 (EST)

Z008MJ: /* Some questions about the weapons. */ new section

There are several things that should be added

- There is no source that claims that the SCAR uses the Remington SPC

::The texture of the gun actually has written 6.8x45mm on it above the trigger, can be seen on various high-res pictures, for example: http://www.crysis-france.com/images/rsgallery/original/scar.jpg, so it really isnt the Remington SPC.

=> Yes, but it's the SCAR from crysis 1 that shoot in 6.8 x45mm. The SCAR 2 in crysis 2 uses may be the 5.56 x45mm NATO ?

::No, it isnt 5,56, check MyCrysis for that. It's still the same SCAR, so it's most probably the same caliber, too.

:::MyCrysis weapon info thing says it uses smaller ammo than 5.56, allowing for the 40 round magazines. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 08:51, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

- The Grendel assaut rifle uses the 6.5 mm Grendel

- The Feline SMG may be using the 5,7x28mm armor piercing PDW bullet with Surefire Hi-Cap Mags (60 rounds)

- This is not a 20mm Korean machine gun, it is rather a 7,62mm machine gun like the FN MAG, 20mm is the caliber for autocannons

- The SCAR (Mk.20 "Superior Combat Assault Rifle) uses the fictional 4mm hypersonic fin stabilized dart, fired through a smoothbore barrel. It is not the 6.8mm version seen in the first game.

== "Be Strong" Trailer weapons ==

[[Image:Crysis2 - M60.jpg|thumb|none|400px|]]

--[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]] 15:10, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
:The rifle in the second image is the M2014 Gauss Rifle, an update to [[Crysis]]' Gauss Rifle. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 03:37, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

== DSG1 semi-automatic ==

The weapon appears to be semi-automatic instead of bolt operated in all the multiplayer videos I have seen so far.--[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]] 13:41, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

*The DSG-1 could never decide if it was semiauto or bolt action in the original game, if I remember rightly, you only operated the bolt if you weren't looking down the scope. [[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 14:38, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Here's some information I've collected so far from the videos:
*It appears that the USMC soldiers in nanosuit-like armor (identified by tan armor color) and C.E.L.L. armored soldiers (identified by greyish color and armor fabric similar to the older nanosuit in the previous game) are two teams that you can play in multiplayer.
*Much of the weapons are revamps of the previous games' weapons.
*C.E.L.L. apeears to be the new name for Crynet Ops due to their very alike appearances.
*You play as "Alcatraz," a U.S. SF soldier, throughout the game.

Hope this helps. Also, welcome back, Vangelis. It's been a hell of a long time since your last edit.- [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 02:11, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

::: The question is whether it retains the same designation as in [[Crysis]]. --[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]] 16:09, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
:It looks like it does. It has a 40 round magazine and is possibly dual-weildable. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 23:12, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

::I don't remember the name, but that's gotta be the machine pistol sidearm. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 08:51, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
:The demo's released today so I'll grab some screencaps from the demo. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 15:33, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

== Weapon Focus Pics ==

The weapon focus articles have nice big perfect pictures we could add, except I don't know how. So someone should do it :D [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 09:58, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
:Just save the picture by right-clicking on it and save it to your desktop. Then, upload it as usual. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 15:31, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

== Company Names ==

We should have them because they are part of the weapon too. Howabout we stop having company names on all the articles then, all our Glocks will be called "17" and "26" and Berettas like "92FS". We'd have titles like "Joe the actor firing a 17" and "Jane the actress reloading a Model 66". That's dumb, and we even know the names of the real ones, these we don't. The names are very relevant. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 12:53, 10 March 2011 (MSK)

*Depends on the weapon; we don't typically do it for heavy weapons (eg M202 FLASH, M72 LAW, etc) and there isn't a lot of point to it if the manufacturer is fictional anyway. [[User:Vangelis2|Vangelis2]] 15:05, 10 March 2011 (MSK)

:I dunno, think it's just as useful (or useless) as fictional calibres, or this whole article for that matter. Can we at least have them in the discription then? It's not like Halo where you have to know the backstory to know Misriah Armories makes most of the weapons, in Crysis 2 singleplayer it tells you to company when you go to pick up the weapon. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 01:03, 13 March 2011 (MSK)

::Actually Glocks would be "G17" and "G26". They use that designation, it is not just some Rainbow Six and Modern Warfare 2 thought to avoid copyright issues. Go to glock(dot)com and you can see that they refer to their models with "G+number" or "G+number+C". [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 02:52, 13 March 2011 (MSK)

:::Okay, fair enough, but can we still put them in the descriptions (as opposed to the titles) with the other fictional info? It's not like it's the weapon's history or anything, it's pretty much part of the name, and it's not gonna hurt us to have it. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 10:33, 13 March 2011 (MSK)

[[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 18:18, 14 March 2011 (CDT)

==SCAR==
one thing tha bugs me so far is that there is the atachment opsions on the SCAR. on the SCAR you can only attach under-slung weapons and scopes. the SCARAB can't use under-slung weapons, or the long range scopes, but can use a suppressor. I though the SCAR was the jack of all trade weapon but you need certain version for certain situational. other than that im enjoying the game

:What? Please make sense... [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 00:19, 25 March 2011 (CDT)
::What he means is that the SCAR can use almost all attachments except the suppressor while the SCARAB can only have a suppressor and mid-range optics and originally thought of the SCAR as a jack of all trades weapon. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 02:31, 27 March 2011 (CDT)
:::Oh, well it seems it was only removed because the SCAR had nine attachments, but there are only eight challange things for weapons, meaning, unless you got the Hologram with a brand new copy of the game (which most people would have) then there would forever be one attachment you couldn't get. Why the suppressor and not, say, the PEQ box I don't know... [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 06:25, 27 March 2011 (CDT)

==Alex==

We're not writing for a Wikia based on the game here, please don't word entries like the weapons are real if they're not. It's confusing to potential readers to say that a weapon that doesn't exist is manufactured by such and such a company and so on; describe it in terms of what ''real'' weapon it is or resembles. Keep the game background minimal and only mention it ''after'' talking about the gun's identity, we're not here to document that kind of thing. [[User:Vangelis2|Vangelis2]] 09:16, 26 March 2011 (CDT)

:I do realize that, I just figure this would be a good place to show how much detail they put into their weapon design, because most other companies, as we know well, don't. I'll take out the company names, but can the calibers stay? They at least seem relevant. EDIT: Done, is it better now? [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 14:12, 26 March 2011 (CDT)

==L-TAG==
Just to clear this up so there isn't an edit war: it WAS Airburst, but in the final game it's Armed. Why? I dunno, I think Airburst sounds better, or Tactically Armed, as they are smart grenades. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 06:25, 27 March 2011 (CDT)

*As far as I can tell, because they yanked any ability to set the grenade's fuse to actually airburst. It seems to just go off on impact or with a timer. [[User:Vangelis2|Vangelis2]] 07:41, 27 March 2011 (CDT)

:: when I used the L-TAG it look like if it hit an enemy it detonated, if it just hit the ground or a wall it would detonated when an enemy was near by. if there were no enemy near by it would just blow up after a short amount of time. but I could be wrong
:Well, the L-TAG has two fire modes: a sticky grenade fire mode and a non-sticky timed grenade fire mode. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 14:24, 27 March 2011 (CDT)

==Kenny: M2014 Customisation==
I'm not trying to jump on you if you just hadn't gotten it up yet, but I noticed this was the only weapon you didn't put a customise pic for. The easiest way to get one is in "Masks Off", just before you kick the door to get outside the Prism there's one against the wall. And for the Gauss underbarrel attachment, it's in "Corporate Collapse", just look around the area where you have to get in the APC's turret. Thanks for adding the customisation pictures though, perfect way to show what they look like :) [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 06:41, 27 March 2011 (CDT)
:I'm sorry, but I didn't add it because I was about to when I had to do some work. I'll come back to it later. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 14:20, 27 March 2011 (CDT)
I am finished with the screencaping right now. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 19:58, 27 March 2011 (CDT)

== Majestic ==

Aside from the fact that they are both made from a combination of metal and plastic, I can't see a single thing that would indicate that the Majestic has any relation to the [[MP-412 REX]]. If it is based on anything, which I don't think it is, might I suggest the Mateba MTR-8 (below). They share a number of characteristics, including general layout with the cylinder in front of the trigger, internal hammer that can be cocked with an exterior mechanism, and the fact that the MTR-8 is reloaded by replacing the rear portion of the cylinder (single rounds cannot be reloaded and this rear plate is needed to function) similarly to replacing the whole cylinder on the Majestic. Either way, I think claiming this the be a heavily modified anything is a stretch. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:06, 28 March 2011 (CDT)

== FELINE ==

The Feline has nothing to do with the F2000. It's closer to a Famas F1 or Famas Felin (LOL). The F2000 doesn't even have a "normal" grip like the Famas Felin. Maybe the rail on the top can be borrowed from an F2000 but the lower parts are definitely not. [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 07:05, 29 March 2011 (CDT)

:Yeah, I think we thought F2000 when there wasn't a lot in the way of screenshots or gameplay, but seeing it in the full game it does look more like the Félin with elements of the Calico M960A.

::It does look more like a FAMAS Felin than an F2000, with the forward grip changed and a feed system that must be similar to that russian prototype thing with the magazine right at the back called the Korobov something. Can promotional images like the one b below be put in the main article, as they show the guns a hell of alot better than the screenshots? --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 17:11, 29 March 2011 (CDT)

== Chambered rounds ==

At the moment we have the line "Also worth noting, all weapons are reloaded correctly and keep track of the +1 in the chamber, rare in games." This isn't quite correct; in 2 you have to fire at least one shot from the current magazine before you can reload and get a chambered round; ie, you have to reload from 0 to get 40 and then fire once and swap in a new mag to get 41. This is as opposed to Crysis, where if I recall rightly you can reload from 0 to get 40 in the SCAR and then immediately reload it again to get 41. [[User:Vangelis2|Vangelis2]] 03:35, 1 April 2011 (CDT)

:Well, that's not incorrect in the function sense, if they let you reload from 40 then everyone would just reload on every spawn, or again after every empty reload. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 20:39, 1 April 2011 (CDT)

::Well, if you assume they had ''time'' to reload, sure, and it's not like firing that one extra round really adds a huge amount of time to the process anyway; it ''really'' doesn't explain why you can't even do it in singleplayer where multiplayer balance isn't even an issue. It also still doesn't really work as "realistic" since there's nothing stopping you removing a real rifle's magazine after it's chambered a round and putting in a full one without having to fire it once first. [[User:Vangelis2|Vangelis2]] 00:05, 2 April 2011 (CDT)

:::Agreed, I prefer useing sniper weapons alot in crysis - and follow up shots are important if a headshot will not kill every enemy or I simply can't make one at the time, so one more round in the chamber on a low capacity weapon can make a world of difference and that pisses me off. Otherwise I have very little negative things to say other than: I want a bullpup AR in Crysis 3 - or a Crysis 2 "warhead" like expansion... that would be nice
- Anon

Generally unless you've got a low-capacity weapon like a single stack semi-auto pistol or a sniper rifle, the one extra round won't matter. The +1 feature is so rare in games because it's simply not important enough to code that function. As for the inability to reload on a full magazine, it's probably just to smooth out the system and prevent people from wondering why their guy just reloaded a full gun when they accidentally hit the key. [[User:Chitoryu12|Chitoryu12]] 11:48, 24 April 2012 (CDT)

:Another thing to bear in mind is that using a +1 system makes the assumption that the people playing a game understand how firearms work, with a round having to be chambered from the magazine before it can be fired rather than just firing from the top of the magazine. Also, weapons that fire from an open bolt don't store a round in the chamber so +1 wouldn't apply, so it would be an extra amount of knowledge that someone would have to be aware of for a correct system to make sense. In countries outside of the US where firearms are less prevalent, the potential consumers for somputer games may not be clued in to the way in which firearms actually work. For example, ''The Simpsons'' is animated in Korea (very few civilian owned firearms), and when they want a gun to be loaded or used they had a lot of trouble to the point where they had to send them detailed sketches and illustrations just to demonstrate how to load a pistol. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 13:00, 24 April 2012 (CDT)

==Just a question==

How come this page is OK, when the Killzone pages keep getting deleted because "the weapons aren't real"? The weapons in Killzone (particularly 2 & 3) are very obviously based on real-world weapons, as these are.

* I think mostly because previous Killzone articles have been a) rubbish and b) posted with no game screenshots at all. Also, this one actually does contain some identifiably real weapons (including some real film footage), rather than consisting entirely of hybrids like Killzone. [[User:Vangelis2|Vangelis2]] 07:00, 2 April 2011 (CDT)

:Without trying to make a huge argument or anything, on a related note I'd like to point out that the vast majority of Halo's (human) weapons are obviously based on, or inspired by, real ones. MA5C = F2000, M7 = MP7, M6G = Desert Eagle/P99, etc. I think the other reason there isn't a Halo page is because it's the go-to game some people on this site like to use to say "look, made up weapons", which isn't really fair. I can't fairly comment on Killzone as I don't have a PS3. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 03:12, 3 April 2011 (CDT)

Funny enough, the weapons designer actually denied that the MA5 series was based on the F2000 and was even afraid that people would accuse him of ripping off the design after seeing it for the first time. In relation to Killzone, the guns are MUCH closer to real life weapons than the ones in Crysis. They're extremely easy for even a layman to identify in some cases, and I'd like to get to work on a page for at least Killzone 2 (which I actually own). [[User:Chitoryu12|Chitoryu12]] 07:42, 24 April 2012 (CDT)

:I'd ask around before you post it. While theoretically there's quite a few recognisable weapons, you have to remember the real, unstated rule, which is "none of the above rules shall ever be interpreted in such a way that ''Halo'' gets a page." [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 08:13, 24 April 2012 (CDT)
::Check the Killzone wiki. Guns like the SPAS-12, M249, and Bizon are in the game almost completely unchanged. Halo, on the other hand, actually uses mostly original designs to the point where (as mentioned above) the MA5's similarity to a real weapon was accidental. [[User:Chitoryu12|Chitoryu12]] 10:35, 24 April 2012 (CDT)
:::I don't think any of the Killzone guns are "pure" guns, they are all hybrids or modified in some way. However, in principle I think it could have a page that identifies the different parts the hybrids are made of. These aren't hybrids that are like Crysis "hybrids", they are literally made from different identifiable gun parts. For example, the StA-11 Submachine Gun is a Bizon with the front sight, bolt and pistol grip from an Uzi, and the rear sight from an M249. This seems a lot more legitimate to me than stuff on this page, like saying the Majestic is a hybrid of two different Mateba revolvers (which I will go out on a limb and guess that the developers did not even know these guns existed much less base the model on them). The majority of the Crysis "Hybrids" were invented by us to try and justify having them on the page, as opposed to the Killzone guns which are genuinely made from different firearms parts. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 13:19, 24 April 2012 (CDT)

== Some questions about the weapons. ==

I am working on a mod for Crysis 2 right now and would like some help from someone better than me on guns to clear some things up about certain weapons in this game. I would really appreciate this as I don't really know any other place that has both people good at firearms and who doesn't ignore VG guns entirely. On the Crysis wiki are some good images of the guns if needed.

1. The AY69's customization menu says it is loaded in 9mm, but the text on the side of the gun says it is loaded in 4.6x30mm, can someone look at the size and shape of the grip and tell me which cartridge it looks to be chambered in?

2. The FY71 in Crysis was chambered in 5.45x39mm and the FY71 in Crysis 3 was chambered in 7.62x39mm. The FY71 in Crysis 2 has no text in the customization menu at all, can anyone tell by looking at the magazine which cartridge it is chambered in?

3. The DSG-1 is chambered in a .405 cartridge, can anyone tell by looking at the magazine how long the cartridge is? And what real-life cartridge would it most resemble?

4. Same question as number 3 above, but regarding the Feline and it's 4.7 ammunition?

5. Exactly how powerful would a 4mm saboted cartridge be in comparision to a 5.56x45mm?

6. Does the Majestic revolver look like it could be suppressed, with its gas-operation and detachable cylinder/magazine?

The "P90" is actually no P90. It sure looks like one but is slightly modified (i. e. regarding the front grip); the game manual calls it the "AK2012" and describes it as the Russian army's latest service rifle. Despite the name, it has nothing in common with any existing AK model (except the chambering). --[[Special:Contributions/83.79.126.247|83.79.126.247]] 23:14, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Already Changed

in clips I have seen it takes a lot of bullets to kill the monsters. I also think that all the guns fireing the same round would make thing easier on finding ammo

Just remember that bullets are also currency in Metro 2033, so that gives whole new meaning for "Every shot must count".
--[[User:AlkoTanko|AlkoTanko]] 12:47, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

That would make shooting even more interesting.

==Some thoughts==

First of all, there`s no such 50 cal sniper rifle like SVN-98 in game. The weapon on the screenshot is clearly a revolver with extended barrel, optics and stock (possibly early game model).

Second - all ingame revolvers are clearly loaded with .44 caliber rounds. Possibly .44 Magnum.

Third - there are two major modifications of AK: ingame "post-apocaliptic" AK (can be anything from AK-74, AKS-74 etc till AK-74M. And the broken ones that can be found around corpses are possibly AKS-74 (brown polyamide handguard and handle).
:::AK in game most probably is AK74M (scope mount, plastic folding buttstock), but has replaced upper receiver lid (it has reinforcing ribs). Or its AKS74N with replaced stock. Or its just a mix like you said. W\e.

There`s also Melnik`s (Miller`s) electro-gun, but I dont`t know how get it - maybe in Limited Edition version
: Its gonna be in DLC.

I like the idea of using handmade guns, as well as real firearms Rex095

== Kalash 2012? ==

In the Metro Redux version of the game which was recently released, weapon detail have been increased. More than the rest, the Kalash 2012 now seems to have a new model with an ejection port on the upper right side and better cartridge ejection to the right.

I have taken a screenshot here of the new one; http://www.imfdb.org/images/4/41/Kalash_2012.jpg

I wonder if anyone here can tell me what the new things on the model are? Also, the gun still has no charging handle, but as of Metro Redux, seems to be confirmed as open bolt. Does it need a charging handle then? Could what looks like a button on the model be used to chamber rounds?

Weird designs like this makes me want to find out how they are supposed to work, and IMFDB is probably the best place to ask these questions regarding a video game. Anyone knows how it is supposed to work? [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 15:47, 17 September 2014 (EDT)

more to come, got errands, finish when im back-k9870

Good job on this. Only problem I have is that you misspelled anachronisms many times

==LeMat Revolver==
I understand that the underbarrel on the real-life LeMat fired a shotgun shell. In both Call of Juarez games, the LeMat fires a rifle round instead. Is this an error or were LeMats able to fire a rifle round? - [[User:1morey]] February 26, 2011 11:44 AM (EST)

As far as i´m aware there were different kinds of loads for the LeMats lower barrel, such as pure buckshot, a combo of shot and slug, and a solid slug shaped like a bullet, but rifle rounds no, its a 20 gauge as far as i remember. I`ve seen a detailed article about a vintage LeMat being tested and the shotgun was far from ideal to be used any farther away than 10 feet, so they probably just used rifle rounds in the game to make it realistic that it can fire that far.

==Alternate Weapons==
I think i've definitely thougth of some good alternatives to the anachronistic guns in the game, feel free to add to the list if you have better choices.

-Schofield for Remington 1858 New Army or Starr: Since the Schofield is called the "Quickshooter" the Remington 1858 New Army would be a good alternative due to its ability to quickly remove the cylinder and replace it with a full one or the Starr 1858 for it's double action system.

-Remington 1890 for 1851 Navy or 1860 Army: Due to the Remington being called the "Classic Gun" the Colt Navy or Colt Army could be called the same since they were both iconic guns of the era and were used widely by each side.

-Double Barreled Shotgun for Percussion Shotgun: Replacing the anachronistic shotguns with the percussion muzzle-loaders of the era would provide a unique choice rarely seen and also adding a sawn-off version to boot.

-Winchester 1892 for (obviously) Henry 1860 or Spencer 1860: I can't believe they didn't do this themsleves, but whatever, either the Henry or Spencer could have been a good choice due to them being the premier repeaters of the Civil War, Henry could match up to the Winchester in capacity while the Spencer Carbine could be an extra, or adding the full-size version just for kicks.

-Sharps 1874 for 1860's Model Sharps: A wide variety of Sharps to choose from used in the Civil War could all stand in as aleternatives for the 1874, just take your pick, or for a more interesting choice the Whitworth used by Confederate sharpshooters.

I can understand that for the sake of reloading would be the only reason for these weapons but there is a blackpowder solution, using paper cartridges could solve as the player wouldn't have to pour powder but simply put in the cartridge, pull the loading lever, and add a percussion cap. This process would cut down on time if it was slightly tweaked like most games do with realism.

The reason why these guns were picked (except for the Remington 1890 (Which in the first game was the Colt SAA, Sharps, and the Colt Dragoon, first game was a Colt Walker, and the first game had a Colt 1878 Double Action), was because they were from the first game, and so it was a nod. The Cartel too has many references to the first and second game. - [[User:1morey]] October 13, 2011 8:32 PM (EST)

==Non-Firearm weapons==

===Bow===
A bow is used exclusively by Thomas, and a primary weapon for the Comanche, Navajo, and Apache Indians. Strangely the Bow also has different stages of conditions. "Rusty" (The Bow is rotted and the point is rusting), "Normal", "Prime" (The Bow has markings on it), and Superb (The Bow has a dark mahogany finish with the markings).

===Lasso===
A lasso is again, exclusive to Thomas.

===Throwing Knives===
Throwing knifes with leather tied around the handles are usable by Thomas.

===Chair===
Chairs can be picked up and used as melee weapon, primarily in Chapter IX (The player uses a chair to kill a soldier, since the player is left without weapons, but immediately regains them afterwards).

== Ranger and Classic Gun ==

I am also a member of the Call of Juarez Wiki, and the admins are leaning towards the idea that the Ranger is based on a Colt Army 1860. I believe that it is the Colt Dragoon. Is there any distinguishing characteristics that would properly identify this gun.

Also with the Classic Gun, it states it is a Remington 1890, the admins are thinking it is the Colt SAA, they claim that the Classic Gun looks more like a Colt SAA, and also they claim they could not find anything on the Remington 1890.

So can we get someone to properly identify these handguns once and for all.

EDIT: The Classic Gun HAS to be a Colt SAA, the game files identify the gun as "peacemaker". -[[User:1morey]] April 26, 2011 7:51 PM (EST)

Load up the Editor and have a closer look at the weapon model, specifically the ejector rod housing. Whatever the game calls it, its definately modeled after a Remington 1890.

EDIT: Here's what i mean, the Bound in Blood Classic gun model on the left, Call of Juarez 1 version on the right.

http://i51.tinypic.com/2d1wx79.jpg

Make sure to sign your posts so we know who we are talking to. Anyways, I agree with you wholeheartedly that it is a Remington 1890, but the Admins at the CoJ Wiki are still clinging to the Classic Gun to being a Colt SAA, and they also say the Ranger is actually the Colt Walker from the first game. here is what they said:

"Nice picture 11Morey, but no. The gun is a Colt Single Action Army, proved by the fact of the game files listing the Peacemaker, another name for the SAA. I agree in the fact it looks more like a Remington 1890, perhaps it was bad research on Techland's part (althoguh later SAA's looked just like Remington 1890s) but the gun is a Colt Single Action Army revolver, and I think it's time we moved on from this subject. I checked the sound files just to be certain, as I've played BiB so much I know what each gun sounds like, nothing is out of order here.

The Classic gun, is a Colt SAA. If you don't believe me then look at Call of Juarez and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood pc versions' game files with WinRAR or another program that can open up ZIP and similar files.

I have a new revelation on the Ranger topic, which will also close the ID issue there as well. The Ranger in Bound in Blood is not teh 1860, not the Dragoon, it is none other than our old friend... The Colt Walker, it is the same gun in both games, I never checked the game files for the Ranger before, I checked both CoJ and BiB, so we have confirmation, both are the Colt Walker."

This is exactly what they said. I've tried everything to show them they made a mistake, and I don't blame them, everybody, even the guys here at IMFDB make mistakes, and I don't want to start something, but me and my love for all things that go bang tell me to correct their mistakes.

== Ranger ==

According to some people, the Ranger is a cartridge-converted Colt Army 1860 with a fluted cylinder.

I'd like to hear what other people think. - [[User:1morey]] May 28, 2013 9:44 PM (EST)

I think it is a Colt Dragoon. The give-away would be how the frame extend forwards and covers part of the barrel and loading lever, which the designs of the 1860 and later Colt revolvers do not have. Although the sights reminds me of a cartridge converted 1860 Army.

The better question is what the web under the barrel with a large screw in it is, anyone knows what that is based on? [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 11:21, 9 April 2014 (EDT)

== Ejecting cartridges out of revolvers? ==

I recently felt like replaying Bound in Blood, and while doing so I noticed something very unexpected. As those familiar with the Call of Juarez series knows, revolvers with loading gates never has the fired cartridges ejected using the ejector rod, obviously to reduce reloading time.

What I noticed was that the characters actually do push the old cartridges out, only in a very unusual way. They load new cartridges in through the loading gate into chambers still loaded with fired cartridges, and uses a strong push from the new cartridge to eject the old one out through the front of the cylinder. Basically, the new cartridge is used as a reversed ejector rod.

This is evidenced by the fact that every time they insert a new cartridge an old one is visually ejected out through the front.

Is this possible? Since the cylinders are bored straight through, i would imagine things could pass through. I could see the rim of the cartridges being a problem though, but maybe you could force them through.

I could not find any information on this "technique" on the internet, anyone having any comments on this? [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 11:52, 9 April 2014 (EDT)

Good job on this. Only problem I have is that you misspelled anachronisms many times

==LeMat Revolver==
I understand that the underbarrel on the real-life LeMat fired a shotgun shell. In both Call of Juarez games, the LeMat fires a rifle round instead. Is this an error or were LeMats able to fire a rifle round? - [[User:1morey]] February 26, 2011 11:44 AM (EST)

As far as i´m aware there were different kinds of loads for the LeMats lower barrel, such as pure buckshot, a combo of shot and slug, and a solid slug shaped like a bullet, but rifle rounds no, its a 20 gauge as far as i remember. I`ve seen a detailed article about a vintage LeMat being tested and the shotgun was far from ideal to be used any farther away than 10 feet, so they probably just used rifle rounds in the game to make it realistic that it can fire that far.

==Alternate Weapons==
I think i've definitely thougth of some good alternatives to the anachronistic guns in the game, feel free to add to the list if you have better choices.

-Schofield for Remington 1858 New Army or Starr: Since the Schofield is called the "Quickshooter" the Remington 1858 New Army would be a good alternative due to its ability to quickly remove the cylinder and replace it with a full one or the Starr 1858 for it's double action system.

-Remington 1890 for 1851 Navy or 1860 Army: Due to the Remington being called the "Classic Gun" the Colt Navy or Colt Army could be called the same since they were both iconic guns of the era and were used widely by each side.

-Double Barreled Shotgun for Percussion Shotgun: Replacing the anachronistic shotguns with the percussion muzzle-loaders of the era would provide a unique choice rarely seen and also adding a sawn-off version to boot.

-Winchester 1892 for (obviously) Henry 1860 or Spencer 1860: I can't believe they didn't do this themsleves, but whatever, either the Henry or Spencer could have been a good choice due to them being the premier repeaters of the Civil War, Henry could match up to the Winchester in capacity while the Spencer Carbine could be an extra, or adding the full-size version just for kicks.

-Sharps 1874 for 1860's Model Sharps: A wide variety of Sharps to choose from used in the Civil War could all stand in as aleternatives for the 1874, just take your pick, or for a more interesting choice the Whitworth used by Confederate sharpshooters.

I can understand that for the sake of reloading would be the only reason for these weapons but there is a blackpowder solution, using paper cartridges could solve as the player wouldn't have to pour powder but simply put in the cartridge, pull the loading lever, and add a percussion cap. This process would cut down on time if it was slightly tweaked like most games do with realism.

The reason why these guns were picked (except for the Remington 1890 (Which in the first game was the Colt SAA, Sharps, and the Colt Dragoon, first game was a Colt Walker, and the first game had a Colt 1878 Double Action), was because they were from the first game, and so it was a nod. The Cartel too has many references to the first and second game. - [[User:1morey]] October 13, 2011 8:32 PM (EST)

==Non-Firearm weapons==

===Bow===
A bow is used exclusively by Thomas, and a primary weapon for the Comanche, Navajo, and Apache Indians. Strangely the Bow also has different stages of conditions. "Rusty" (The Bow is rotted and the point is rusting), "Normal", "Prime" (The Bow has markings on it), and Superb (The Bow has a dark mahogany finish with the markings).

===Lasso===
A lasso is again, exclusive to Thomas.

===Throwing Knives===
Throwing knifes with leather tied around the handles are usable by Thomas.

===Chair===
Chairs can be picked up and used as melee weapon, primarily in Chapter IX (The player uses a chair to kill a soldier, since the player is left without weapons, but immediately regains them afterwards).

== Ranger and Classic Gun ==

I am also a member of the Call of Juarez Wiki, and the admins are leaning towards the idea that the Ranger is based on a Colt Army 1860. I believe that it is the Colt Dragoon. Is there any distinguishing characteristics that would properly identify this gun.

Also with the Classic Gun, it states it is a Remington 1890, the admins are thinking it is the Colt SAA, they claim that the Classic Gun looks more like a Colt SAA, and also they claim they could not find anything on the Remington 1890.

So can we get someone to properly identify these handguns once and for all.

EDIT: The Classic Gun HAS to be a Colt SAA, the game files identify the gun as "peacemaker". -[[User:1morey]] April 26, 2011 7:51 PM (EST)

Load up the Editor and have a closer look at the weapon model, specifically the ejector rod housing. Whatever the game calls it, its definately modeled after a Remington 1890.

:It is also worth noting that the bayonets missing on the Martini-Henry rifles might not be anachronistic as the early versions of that rifle had issues with casings sticking inside the chamber when the weapons were fired rapidly, and the way that they "fixed" this in the field was to use their bayonets to pry the casings out. Though I doubt that this was the reason some or the bayonets were missing in the film, it is something that has a real world reason for the bayonets to not be there.

I've been going through a few of the M203 entries and correcting some of them to RM Equipment M203PIs, which show up a lot more than I would have guessed. However I have come across a standalone version which is annoying me.

Does anyone know anything about this? The launcher is definitely an M203PI, but is the stock made by another company or is it a now discontinued RM Equipment one?

On the topic of the M203PI, does anyone know if RM equipment made an M4 interbar which wasn't a SOLA?

:Do you mean the ''[[Universal Soldier: The Return]]'' page? If so I think it is an M203PI. If you compare the image from the movie to [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v193/EvilKev/Weapons/ShawnSFW.gif this] one you will see several differences. The mounting system of an M203A1 on a carbine is different (M203 A1 mount requires the bottom handguard to be removed and at the front it clamps further up the barrel rather than around the bayonet lug), but you can also see that the weapon itself is different. On the M203PI there is a groove that runs all the way along the right side of the frame above the barrel which is also present on the movie gun, on the M203A1 there isn't. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:26, 14 October 2013 (EDT)

== Some questions on the M203P1? ==

Surprisingly, typing "M203P1" or "M203P1 Grenade Launcher" in Google yields almost no results of interest. Could someone provide some information regarding the M203P1, so atleast one page on the whole internet does so. I was really wondering when the M203P1 was first designed and produced, and first used in service?

Then i have not been able to find a info on what weapons it can be used on. Are there are requirements, or does the weapons have to be modified? Or does it work on every NATO-Standard rifle? I know it can be attached to AUG's and FAL's, but what about other rifles like the FN FNC, CETME Model L, Galil, L85A1, SIG SG 540/542 or the Valmet Series?

Thanks in Advance. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 20:17, 28 February 2014 (EST)

:I think the main problem is that is isn't called the "M203P1", but the "M203PI" with PI standing for "Product Improved". [http://m203pi.com/#M203PI Here] is the page from the manufaturer RM Equipment. There are 2 versions of the M203PI, one that requires an adapter known as an interbar, and the other which can be fitted to any MIL-STD-1913 rail. The only interbars shown on the RM Equipment site are for M16s, M4s, AKs, H&K G3s and Styr AUGs however this is only a sampling and there are (or were) a lot more available. For example, there is definitely an interbar to mount one to an MP5 as seen in [[End of Days]], however I have never seen a proper list anywhere. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 06:12, 1 March 2014 (EST)

That makes a lot of sense, i must have been a bit hasty there, as US designations usually names updated versions of weapons with a letter followed by a number. My bad, sorry.
I still don't know when it was first produced though, do you have any idea? Did it exist before the Picatinny rail? Also, i'd like to know what is required to mount one on a non-rail fitted weapon. If i can mount it on a FN FAL, can i mount it on a FN FNC? It it works on a G3A3, does work on a PSG-1? And what constitutes as "AKs"? Galils? Valmets? Dragunovs?

I very much appreciate whatever information you can share, even guesses. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 08:26, 1 March 2014 (EST)

They are extremely well made and therefore extremely reliable. Most of these weapons were originally made in the mid 1930s. The one I played with was stamped 1932. With very little modification and maintenance, besides their rechambering for NATO 7.62x51 ammo, these babies just keep on giving. The police love them because they scare the living **** out of the narcos. They make a lot of noise with their relatively slow rate of fire and shoot right through the typical brick walls that most of the structures are made of. This is a drawback when there are a lot of non-combatants around which limits their use. The biggest drawback is their weight. They are relatively small in size, but most of the parts are precision machined out of high grade steel, so they weigh a lot more than you think. It is a surprise to pick one up for the first time because you are expecting a much lighter weapon. However, they never jam unless fed with defective ammo, and can keep firing as long as you can feed magazines into them. Nobody that I worked with complained about them or wished that they had something else.''

== Spring failures in other MP 40 variants? ==

This has been bugging me a while. I know the MP 40 could suffer spring failures if fully loaded, but i haven't seen references to such issues regarding the MP 38 and MP 41. So my question is whether they suffered the same problem or if it was unique to the MP 40?

And if they didn't have those issues then what changes was made to make the MP 40's magazine worse, and why?

On the other hand, if they had the same issues, then i wonder if earlier models with side-mounted magazines, such as the MP 28 and MP 34, had such issues?

Thanks a lot in advance! [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 11:27, 6 January 2014 (EST)

== About revolvers and ammunition types .... ==

Could someone explain why blackpowder revolvers can't fire smokeless ammunition? Yes, i know they are too weak to handle modern ammunition, but why are they too weak? Why can a modern Colt SAA reproduction fire smokeless ammo when an original vintage one cannot, aren't they basically the same gun? What part of the gun is changed to make it able to fire smokeless? [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 18:31, 14 November 2013 (EST)

: You kind of answered your own question, the old firearms aren't considered to be strong enough to handle the added stress and force that smokeless cartridges make when discharged, certainly at least not in hard and/or long-term use. The reproductions made these days, while aesthetically similar to the classics, are made like modern guns, with modern materials and to stronger tolerances than the older stuff. Keep in mind the metalworking and manufacturing of firearms wasn't as good 100-150 years ago and therefore the guns just weren't as strong and durable as they are today. It should be noted that smokeless rounds are a great deal more powerful than blackpowder rounds. When smokeless powder came out, many gunmakers had to re-manufacture their weapons much stronger in order to handle it (Some might have been strong enough to handle it as is, but many makers wisely chose not to count on that). Jacketed bullets even came about because smokeless powder gave such a higher velocity and force that plain lead bullets would potentially disintegrate when fired. In the case of revolvers, generally if you discount modern steel/alloys and metalworking, the frame and cylinder would be thicker/heavier, as would the trigger, hammer and other internal parts. Technically an old gun CAN fire modern smokeless rounds if the chambering is correct, but I wouldn't say it's a wise idea to try it, especially not with any serious shooting.

== What is this firearm mechanism called? ==

Yes, it's me again, but i have been unable to find any other weapon using this mechanism, and i have searched using every term i can think of to describe it. Can someone tell me if this exists, and if it does, what weapon uses it, and what the action is called?

Basically, it would be a rifle/shotgun with a single barrel and a tube magazine beneath the barrel. Instead of a typical lever/pump/bolt-action it would have two revolving chambers, one aligned to the barrel and one to the magazine, and like on a DA revolver, pulling the trigger would have the hamner cooked, the chambers switch place, and the top chamber fired. At the same time the spring in the magazine would push a cartride into the lower chamber, and the process could be repeated. I know this design probably would be inferior in durability and reliability to anything made from the beginning of the 20th century and onwards, if it even works, but i would still like to know if this kind of weapon exists and what the action is called then?

Surprisingly, i found it by accident. Although this one uses a box magazine, the general idea is the same. It's called the [http://www.forgottenweapons.com/early-automatic-pistols/landstad-1900/ Landstad 1900 Automatic Revolver]. Although it does not give a specific name for the action in question.

Talk:Brown Bess Flintlock Musket

Z008MJ:

== Is this a converted Brown Bess? ==

I would like help to identify this Musket, it's origin and model have been bugging me for a while. I know this site is not for help on personal weapons, but i'm not a member on any other firearms site. If my question is unwanted here, you may delete this topic.

This is a percussion cap musket, but after extensive searching the only firearm it resembles is the Brown Bess, thus i have been thinking it may be converted from flintlock. It is marked "Tower", and dated 1830. Am i on to something or is it a completely different firearm?

[https://d3c67tt2e11gmk.cloudfront.net/uploads/item_107346_6a95fa18fb.jpg Here is the firearm.]

As for it's relevance, i own it. Thanks a lot in advance. [[User:Z008MJ|Z008MJ]] ([[User talk:Z008MJ|talk]]) 16:11, 27 November 2013 (EST)

:My guess would be that it is a Pattern 1839 Brown Bess, which was a percussion version. The date of 1830 on your's pre-dates this, but as they were converted from old flintlock rifles I guess this would be the production date of the original gun. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 20:55, 27 November 2013 (EST)
