-==About Me==
-After losing my entire account and all the contributions I made to this site, I have finally returned. I'm still extremely upset that I lost everything I did (lesson: back everything up yourself, since you can never count on webmasters to do it for you), but fortunately, I have lots of screencaps and too much time on my hands, so I'm back. In addition to working on articles I had edited prior to the great crash, I'm also working on lots of new ones.
-Anyway, I'm a recent graduate of a particular college in Maine (I was a History/Government major) who now has way too much time on his hands. I'm sort of a wannabe movie-gun librarian, and I love watching movies and seeing what types of weapons are in it. To be fair, I don't know as much about the classics, mostly just contemporary movies ([[Rafa]], on the other hand, seems to be good with older films). Sometimes, I will buy movies on DVD, even terrible movies, if the guns are worth looking at - which sounds crazy, I know. Additionally, I tend to look for "behind the scenes" information on the guns in a movie - the company that supplied the weapons for the production, the armorers who built/handled the prop weapons on set, etc. I frequently use pictures of the actual prop guns in my articles, if I can find them (see for instance, my work on ''[[I Am Legend]]'', for which I found pictures of the actual AR15 carbine and Mark-23 that were used in the movie).
-Although I'm big into guns, movies, and guns ''in'' movies, I don't do much shooting in real life. I used to shoot skeet when I was in high school, but that was years ago now. I also go to the pistol range sometimes, but this, too, is pretty rare. Usually, I just buy guns for collector value...I have a very expensive pre-1989 Poly Tech AK which I've fired a total of ''4'' times in my basement. I am thinking about getting more into shooting once I graduate and I'm not in an environment where guns are frowned upon.
-So that's that. Any other questions, please drop me a note on my "discussion" page.
-==Guns I Own==
-* Golden State Arms-imported Chinese Type 56S AK - this is my baby
-* [[Smith & Wesson 4506]] - it actually belonged to my grandfather, but he gave it to me.
-I also used to own a [[Taurus PT92]] which I have since sold (it was a very old and well-used example) and a Ruger Mark III (another of my grandfather's guns which I sold).
-* UPDATE: I'm now the proud owner of an original West German-made [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P226|SIG-Sauer P226]]. (screw Picatinny rails!)
-==Images (of myself + guns)==
-[[Image:MyP226-2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|My West German-manufactured SIG-Sauer P226, with a magazine full of Speer GoldDot 115 GR. 9mm rounds nearby.]]
-[[Image:MyAK (2).jpg|thumb|none|500px|My pre-ban Chinese Type 56S AK imported by Golden State Arms, here fitted with the PLA-issue bayonet that came with the gun.]]
-[[Image:MT4506 (2).jpg|thumb|none|500px|Firing my S&W 4506 at the Durham Wildlife Club. This is an old picture, taken about 3-4 years ago, I think.]]
-[[Image:IMG 0910.JPG|thumb|none|500px|Firing a rented SIG P226R at Red's Indoor Range in Austin, TX.]]
-[[Image:IMG 0926.JPG|thumb|none|500px|A close-up of the P226 in my hand (yes, I know I should have kept my finger off the trigger).]]
