== NO EVA GUNS! ==


I'm sorry, but however those weapons look like to us, they are huge scale versions of real guns. Same with Halo, Team America, none of that here. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 03:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:...then unprotect this page, delete the images I uploaded, and let me get back to work on the real gun sections here...--[[User:V|V]] 03:11, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
No mention of the '''Steyr ACR''' used by the EVAs?  Okay, those were giant robot up-sized ACRs, so they probably don't count.  What kinda of ammo did they fire anyways?  Given the size of the EVAs it must have been something like 75mm!
:The Pallet rifles aren't up scaled ACRs, the stock's the wrong shape. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 13:50, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
::If you up scaled a gun to that degree some change would be nesesary for the operating system, thus resulting in a slightly different buttstock.  They were obviously meant to be ACRs.
EVAs also used '''Desert Eagle''' pistols and the British '''L96A1''' sniper rifle.--[[User:Zurak 47|Zurak 47]] 22:02, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
The [http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Neon_Genesis_Evangelion&oldid=138772 initial version] of this article I wrote up included the scaled-up versions of real-life guns the Evangelions use, but the admins forbade it.  Apparently policy is that they're still not "real" guns, and shouldn't be here.  Check out what I wrote up originally.--[[User:V|V]] 21:13, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
I did and it should be deleted. We don't need 2 EVA pages [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]
:Just a call back to an earlier comment, pages are protected so that you HAVE to register on the site so we know who you are. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]]
I think that Eva guns should be on the page. Despite the fact they are 'make believe' they are still based on real firearms. If you go look in the ghost in the shell page or pretty much any other anime page you find guns that don't exist. Why should they Eva guns not be put up? Because of their size?[[User:ShaDow XPS|ShaDow XPS]]
:Yes, solely because of their size. And because I said so. :P [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 18:23, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
== RPG changed to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzerfaust_3 Panzerfaust] ==
Although it may look like an RPG, it is most defiantly the Panzerfaust. At first this was speculation on my part, but its a fact that JSDF uses this for real.--Tested
:What makes you say its a Panzerfaust 3? I mean the one shot we have of them using it is at a bad angle and you can only see it from the back; what distinguishing features confirm its a Panzerfaust 3?--[[User:V|V]] 21:14, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
==No Spoilers rule being violated here==
Guys, removed the excessive explanation of the plot.  It violates IMFDB's no Spoilers rule.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:00, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
:...how can you *possibly* have a no-spoilers rule at all?  Its about the guns, of course its going to be spoilers.--[[User:V|V]] 18:42, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
I went in and reorganized the page, and removed some of the spoilerific passages and walls of text. Hopefully that will make it a little easier to read.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 17:53, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
:Fair enough that there is a spoilers rule in place, but people come for "information" -- there's no such thing as "a wall of text".  (sigh)...well, your house, your rules...--[[User:V|V]] 18:44, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
== Gendo's gun a Walther PPK? ==
I've heard it identified as a CZ-75 before, and it certainly doesn't look like a PPK in the pic (PP/PPK pistols have their recoil spring around the barrel, not underneath, and therefore don't need an underlug).
:It's too small to be a CZ 75 [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 14:25, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
::Could be a compact or even a RAMI subcompact. It looks more like a CZ from the front than anything else. Anyone got a side pic?
:: Here's a pic of my 75B from the same angle for comparison [http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/7533/img0057pq.jpg link title]
:: And here's a PPK pic; angle's not exact, but should be close enough [http://www.dreadgazebo.com/gunporn/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/gunporn-ppk.jpg link title].
:::Ok, account created, edit made.[[User:Notamisfit|Notamisfit]] 06:13, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Let me get thsi straight:  a CZ-75 has that bulky part underneath the barrel, while a PPK slopes directly back underneath the barrel, and has a wider ring around the front?  We could use a better comparison pick with a real life PPK held at the same angle.  --[[User:V|V]] 19:22, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
:I looked. Sadly, I don't own a PPK. You're pretty much right on the underlug/lack of underlug though. CZ's and derivatives are relatively rare in that the underlug doesn't possess a full-length guide rod or recoil spring plug. (EDIT: Another thing; in the pic on the main page, the slide is clearly less wide than the frame. That points to internal slide rails, which points to the CZ (or SIG P210, and that's no SIG).

==What variant of HK USP does Misato use?==
The loading shot shows an 18-round magazine (nine visible holes, double stack), suggesting it's a 9mm model. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 20:00, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
The problem is that Misato fires 10 rounds, and all three main USP variants have a bigger capacity than that.  Normally it says right on the side what version it is, but they didn't bother animating that.  I..doubt its a .45 ACP because those are apparently slightly bigger.  I can see nine holes, yes...what does "double stack" mean?  Why does that suggest 9mm?  I mean, we don't see her inserting the entire magazine into the gun start to finish, the camera cuts in after she's already inserted the top part into the gun.  A .45 has 12 rounds, a .40 has 16 rounds.  I'm saying it might be a .40 and the top half of the magazine is just obscured because the top half is already inside of it. 
does anyone own one or all of the USP variants, so you can take a picture of the magazine?  A key point of contention/piece of evidence is what the magazine looks like from behind, but most online pictures just show already-loaded guns.  --[[User:V|V]] 18:51, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
All right, time to clarify what I meant, since I probably dropped the ball quite badly. There are nine visible holes on the side of the magazine, which show how many rounds are left in it. "Double Stack" is actually me mangling the terminology a bit (the proper term is "staggered column") means that there's two columns of bullets in the magazine, typically staggered so it feeds one at a time. Further more, we only see one side of the magazine, so it should only be dealing with the rounds in the left column. 9 rounds each side x2 = 18. It's also more likely to be a 9mm or a .40 S&W since the .45 was still relatively new at the time the series was made (Introduced May 1995, first episode aired October 10th, 1995). Of course, this is all conjecture, nothing canon pegs the calibre. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 21:29, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
== Weapon in NGE comics? ==
There are several weapons that only appears in the manga version of NGE but not the anime. OK to put those up? I don't thike we need a second page.- Teslashark.
Nothing from the manga, please. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:47, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
:Probably not...but what weapons were in the manga that weren't in the anime?--[[User:V|V]] 18:43, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
