== I guess, I made ID of Thark Rifle in John Carter movie ==
Same shit different year.--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 19:34, 31 December 2015 (EST)


At the ''[[John Carter (2012)|John Carter]]'' movie, most Tharks (Green Martian clan) use Thark Martian rifles. Of course, it was futurised guns, but, after closing inspection of the original movie props, I notice, that's this futusistic rifles were made from [[Tanegashima]]s (of course, a modern replicas). For proving this guess, I made a photoshoping compilation of the movie props and modern Tanegashima replica. So, I guess, that's useful to ID the gun as Tanegashma.

[[Image:Thark rifle photoshop.jpg|thumb|none|400px|A photoshoping compilation of the movie props and modern Tanegashima replica. The serpent for the match and closing powderbox (1), which is almost similar on the Tanegashima and Thark rifle. The pistol-grip buttstock (2) which is also almost similar. Of course, the movie prop is equipped with some part of other guns (percussion hammer) as well as some junks, to look more futuristic, as well, it's sawn in half, but the basing gun is Tanegashima.]]

: The overall shape and half underlug makes me think a S&W. Can't tell if the rod is shrouded or not, but it looks to be about the size of a K-frame. It has the lower profile sight and what looks to be a bull barrel, so if it ''is'' a S&W, it's either a Model 10HB or a Model 13 (more likely the former). But that's really a guess mostly, honestly can't tell much from that image. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 02:21, 4 January 2016 (EST)

A Pistol:
Something I have noticed with classic action films, mostly within the 80's era, is that a lot of muzzle flashes appear more blue than yellow. Did this have something to do with the type of blanks/props that were being used back then, or was this just a result of 1980's cinematography? --[[User:Theakker3|Theakker3]] ([[User talk:Theakker3|talk]]) 12:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

== Question about Norinco Type 56 ==
 
Hello all.  Hopefully I am doing this correctly.  I'm a new member and have never posted or edited anything before.
 
There seem to be two seperate rifles that are referred to as "Norinco Type 56".  The first and most common is the Chinese version of the AK-47.  I see this on multiple pages.  The other seems to be a Chinese version of the SKS rifle built by Izhevsk Machinebuilding Plant a.k.a "Izhmash".  Now, the only spot on the SKS page that actually calls the Chinese version the "Norinco Type 56" is the bottom image on the Talk page for the SKS.  I did notices that it's full name appears to be "Norinco Type 56 '''Carbine'''" in that image.  The images on the main page just label it as the "Chinese built Type 56". 
 
I was wondering if anyone had any info or any opinions on the accuracy of this?  It just seems odd that two different (though admittedly similar) rifles by the same manufacturer would have exactly the same name.  Even considering the SKS rifle is labeled "carbine", and that makes the names technically different, still doesn't seem quite right.  Is the Chinese Type 56 SKS built by Norinco?  Are both rifles referred to as the "Type 56"?
 
Anyway, any info or advice is appreciated.  Thanks.
:I remembered [http://www.redstararms.com/type81.pdf this article], which gives some background. The reds also called their copy of the RPD the Type 56 as well. The SKS Type 56 was considered a carbine, and the AK Type was considered a submachine gun. It's not too different than the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine and M1 Thompson being in service at the same time I suppose. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 07:28, 26 January 2016 (EST)
::I believe that the Chinese AK, SKS and RPD variants were all introduced in 1956, hence the Type 56 designation. This is actually more sensible than other countries that reuse designations more randomly, for example the UK where L1A1 has referred to at least a rifle, a heavy machine gun, a grenade launcher, a rocket launcher, a bayonet, various fuses and detonators, a couple of grenades, and a tank gun, all from different years and with no particular relation between them.

A character in ''[[Wild Geese II]]'' holds a pistol that looks very much alike a [[Colt Commander]] but has an external extractor. What can it be?

Another thing worth noting is that the scout rifles have [http://i0.wp.com/planetdestiny.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/destiny-best-scout-rifles.png?resize=660%2C330 lowers that look almost identical to P90s.] If we did make a page, I would only put weapons that are undoubtedly based on real ones.

:Wow, that is a hell of a lot of weird grenades. I think they are all Russian, and firstly I believe that the F-1 is actually an RGD-5 based on the fact that it lacks the texture and you can just make out the centre rib. As for all the grenades on the sheet with the guns, I can make pretty good guesses at all of them. The green small one looks like a flashbang called the Drofa (these are green in real life like this but are more slender, there are also versions with tear gas that are thicker but are not green), and the spikey bottom one is another flashbang called a Zarya-2. As for the blue ones I am not sure, as there is a whole load of smoke, tear gas and flash grenades that have this general shape. The dark blue is reminiscent of an RGR tear gas grenade however the shape of the lever is wrong, looking more like a RGK-60SZ flashbang (I notice that the rest are also flashbangs, is this the type that all of these are meant to be?). Lastly, the big one is another flashbang, I believe called a Fakel.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 10:40, 28 February 2016 (EST)

As for the Plamja series do you know how these differ from the Zarya? Some places seem to suggest it is just a different fuse (I'm guessing impact, one translated source came out as "scratch" fuse), but from the stats they seem to have actually different effects. Also, does the shape of the lever on the fuse of Russian grenades mean anything or is it random?

The second image is ''Zarya-2'' (additions like -2, -M and similar usually mean modifications in size, weight, explosive charge, and so on). The third image shows a fuze at the left, ''Fakel'' (large white cylinder) in center, and ''Fakel-Salon'' (for usage indoors unlike ''Fakel'' that is intended for outdoor usage) at the right. The following images are ''Fakel'', ''Vzlyot-M'', ''GSZ'', ''Vuyshka'', ''GRD'' (a smoke grenade) and ''ASZ-40 Svirel'' for grenade launcher. About the fuze levers: the shape of the lever of the fuze is usually standard, and a different lever of the same fuze may be if the fuze is a training version, or sometimes if it was manufactured not in USSR/Russia but in other state (like UZRG fuse of Romanian and Bulgarian manufacture differs from a Russian one).

== London Has Fallen ==
 
Saw the movie today, and I highly recommend it.  Lots of action, plausible plot, stunning visual effects.  Of course there was a wide variety of weapons in use, too many to count or study at first glance. Plenty of battlefield pickups.
 
The movie doesn't seem to be restricted by political "correctness."  The "bad guys" are Arab males who live in the Middle East, but their religion isn't mentioned.  The "motive" for the terror isn't jihad, but revenge. These particular bad guys are arms dealers who supply jihadist groups, seeking revenge against the US for a drone strike which took out the daughter of the main villain.

== Seeking input for article! ==
 
Hello IMFDB community!
 
I am a journalist writing about games and technology, and I'm currently writing an article about weapons in video games. Specifically, the piece is about the difference between games with realistic present-day weapons and games with fantastical sci-fi weapons. A focal point will be the way that the Call of Duty franchise has shifted from historical settings to near-future settings to more distant futures, and how the weapons in the game have shifted along with that.
 
I stumbled upon the IMFDB while researching this piece, and the way you include certain games but exclude other more fanciful franchises (E.g. Halo, Destiny) really highlights some of the things I'm trying to explore in this article.
 
I was hoping to talk to someone in your community about how decisions are made on which games you cover, and what the criteria are. (Policy is spelled out quite clearly on the site, but I'd love to hear a little bit of the history of how the current consensus was arrived at, and what some of the points of contention have been over the years.)
 
I would also love to talk to someone who enjoys games that feature accurate real-world weapons, and has contributed to IMFDB pages about those games.
 
If you're up for an interview, you can contact me a chrisbaker1337 at gmail.
 
Thanks so much!
:The site originally covered movies and TV, anime and video games were added later. Certain sci-fi/fantasy weapons are included here because they were built from real weapons, like the pulse rifles in ''Aliens'' or the blasters in ''Star Wars''. This excludes video games like ''Halo'' and ''Destiny''. In theory, if someone were to make a live-action ''Halo'' movie using real firearms (''Forward Unto Dawn'' used replicas with CGI muzzle flash), that might open the door ''Halo''. As for COD, I'm disappointed that it's strayed so far into sci-fi, but I suppose it makes sense from a business perspective. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 12:32, 24 March 2016 (EDT)
::I know I've said this before, or something like this, but I would like to mention that there are quite a few of ''Destiny'''s weapons that are combinations of real ones, (E.G. the "Arminius-D" is simply a combination of a SCAR-H and a Beretta ARX160), and there are some obvious AR15s (unmodified Mk18 carbines in the intro, and a heavily modified M4 which has the receiver almost untouched is the first weapon acquired), so ''Destiny'' ''is'' still something you could mention in your article, although its qualification for an IMFDB page is still quite debatable.--[[User:BlackHawk510|BlackHawk510]] ([[User talk:BlackHawk510|talk]]) 13:31, 24 March 2016 (EDT)

Most people saying that is an Colt 933, or an Colt 733 (M4 Commando). Also some said that "Firstly, as far as I know there is no such thing as a Model 733 with a flat top, that is just a Model 933. What do you think the difference is? The gun in the game isn't a Model 933 or a 733 though, as regardless of the different design of rail, it also has a slickside upper receiver without a FA or BD. The closest match I can come up with would be a GAU-5A/A with a flash hider rather than the moderator (which was actually done) with a fictional/custom upper with a sight rail. --commando552".

If the latter, well the gun in that image is a Model 933 with an older 'Fiberlite' collapsible stock, rather than the later M4-style 6-position stock. But it's still a M933 - Per commando552's quote there, Model 733s do not have, nor ever had flat-top removable carry handle upper receivers (Refer to the [[Colt AR-15 Identification Guide]]).

::::That thing is an abomination. It is clearly cobbled together by somebody who has no idea how the guns they are taking parts from actually work. For example, it also has the T style charging handle from an AR, but it is mounted into the scope rail rather than being anywhere near the bolt (granted it could be connected by a rod or manipulate a long stroke gas piston but lets be honest, they weren't thinking that). It also looks like the distance it can travel before it hits that cheek riser is less than the length of a round anyway, and the bolt would need to travel father than this to cycle the weapon at all. Why does it have a cheek riser anyway? The sights are already pretty low and by adding that you make it downright impossible to look through them comfortably. And what's up with the little length of pic rail in the middle of the receiver? It has bits of gun both ahead and behind it that protrude farther than it so not only would you not be able to use attachments that have to slide onto the rail, it would have to be something with a large stand-off to see over the handguard, which is pointless part anyway as you can't possibly hold it.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 13:01, 4 May 2016 (EDT)

:::::::I think it probably deserves a page, there are quite a few guns that are based on real guns or use real components. The most obvious is the NV-4 which is pretty much just an M4 with a  VLTOR receiver with some relatively minor modifications. Even with the weird stuff like that hybrid sniper thing there are real parts visible: in this case you can see from the receiver that it was modelled from and M14. As for others, to me it looks like the Type-2 (or is it a MOD2?) is based on an FMG-9/FPG, back end of the Reaver looks like it could be a KSG, and the Volk has an AK reciver and a 7.62x39mm style mag.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:57, 2 September 2016 (EDT)

:::::::::By "based on" I mean that the model is actually an altered version of the model of a real gun, rather than it just being vaguely based on the same concept. From what I have seen so far, the guns in this are a lot closer to real life weapons than BO3's guns. The NV-4 is the most notable:[[File:COD IW NV-4 SGB.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]Even with that hybrid sniper thing you can see that the model is actually based on an M14 that has been altered:[[File:InfiniteWarfareSniper.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]You can see various parts of the original M14 model, including the receiver, safety catch (which has been made totally unusable by the new stock implying that this actually started out as a standard M14 model), heatshield and gas tube. To me it looks like at least some of the guns in this are based on real guns. This is in contrast to BO3 where the guns were, in anything, only in the vague shape of something real, so if anything I would say that IW would be a more valid to build a page for than BO3 which already has one.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:03, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

So I suggest to merge these pages under CZ 82/83 title. What do you think? [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 02:50, 1 August 2016 (EDT)
:Makes sense. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 07:53, 1 August 2016 (EDT)
::I'd agree with merging them. Aside from the slide markings are there any differences between an early model 83 and and 82? I'm just wondering how we would be able to tell those apart at all without a really close look. I believe the 83s tend to have a nicer finish, but this is generally a very hard thing to tell in movies or TV so wondered if there was a more definitive difference for ID'ing them.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:36, 1 August 2016 (EDT)

== PPSh-41 page really should be split up ==
 
There was a discussion about this ~five years ago on the weapon's [[http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Talk:PPSh-41_/_PPS-43|Talk Page]], but it didn't really seem to reach a solid conclusion and the page stayed the same. The PPD-40, PPSh-41, and PPS-43 have a lot of similarities (open bolt blowback, same caliber, all three use 35 round mags and only the PPS lacks a 71 round drum) but are ultimately completely different. They don't share magazines or a significant number of parts and all three were designed by different people - they're related in name and function only. This is made worse by the fact that the completely unrelated Suomi KP/-31 is also listed there despite using a completely different straight blowback system and ultimately being an unrelated development (only the shape looks similar.)
 
The general argument against separating the page seemed to be ease of use and finding pages, but considering that the [[Bergmann MP18]], [[Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II]], and [[Lanchester Mk. I]] all have separate pages despite having much, much more in common, (the MP28 ''is'' an MP18 and the Lanchester is a direct derivative) it doesn't make sense that ''similar looking'' guns are grouped together simply to avoid confusion (the SA Vz.58 is not listed on the AK page despite often being confused for one.)
 
If the plan is to stick to the facts, then they should be separated. --[[User:Sergeant Simpleton|Sergeant Simpleton]] ([[User talk:Sergeant Simpleton|talk]]) 10:07, 3 August 2016 (EDT)
:I support this proposal. I see the following separate pages:

== What's it called? ==
 
Certain pistols (like the glock) has this thing wherein if you insert a magazine with a little bit of force, the slide will lock back by itself. What is this called?--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 21:19, 5 August 2016 (EDT)
:It seems impossible that inserting the magazine with any amount of force could possibly lock the slide back. Do you mean the other way round, whereby if the you insert a loaded magazine into a gun with the slide locked back hard enough it will release the slide? If so this is called an automatic slide release or an auto forward. The thing is though, this isn't a feature on a Glock, it is a malfunction. It can be made more likely to happen by having a worn slide or slide release or by over lubrication, but even on a perfect gun this can still happen if you slam the magazine in hard enough. Without an unloaded magazine in place the only thing that is keeping the slide locked back on the catch is a small amount of friction between the slide stop and the notch in the slide, and a big whack as you insert the magazine can be enough to make the slide jump slightly and release the tension between it and the slide stop, meaning that the stop will drop and the slide will auto forward. There are actually some pistols (and some long guns) that do this by design, but this tends to be older weapons before they realised that it might be unsafe for a weapon to chamber itself. This concept is still used in some competition guns though as this is a situation where the tiny time saving of a system like this is actually useful.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 05:27, 6 August 2016 (EDT)

== Help ID this pistol (from Conan) ==

This pistol was worn on the hip of a US soldier serving at the Korean DMZ, shown in the episode when Conan visits Korea. It looks strangely archaic and not at all like modern pistols I assumed would be used by US soldiers.
--[[User:Mss gag|Mss gag]] ([[User talk:Mss gag|talk]]) 09:34, 9 August 2016 (EDT)

::Are you planning on making a Conan page on the site? Or are you just curious Mss gag? As for the gun, it does look like a M9, but the lighting make it look like it has wooden grips, at least to me.--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 09:49, 9 August 2016 (EDT)
::: I agree that's an M9, as is customary - It is still a standard sidearm but I'll admit there is something to your remark as it is a 30-year old sidearm now. Of course most other proven sidearms are that old or close (Glocks, SIGs, etc), that and we still use ARs that in basic design date back to the fifties and many carry 1911s which of course date back more than a century now. 'If it still works' is a phrase that comes to mind, especially with the military. Anyway, Conan has used some pieces on his show (ISS Non Guns, and I believe an actual blank-fire Beretta 92FS fired by Andy Richter in a fairly recent skit) but I don't think such a page would be eligible.

==On taking screencaps from DVD copies==
Do I need to adjust the resolution on the screenshots from DVDs via VLC? [[User:Ominae|Ominae]] ([[User talk:Ominae|talk]]) 05:21, 21 August 2016 (EDT)
:DVD copies technically treat the video files as an aspect ratio of 4:3, so using the "Take Snapshot" function on VLC will cause the image to shrink. Is that what you mean? --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 06:43, 21 August 2016 (EDT)
::I believe that a screenshot on VLC will have the same aspect ratio as it is set to in the player. If it is 16:9 and the aspect ratio is set to 16:9 in VLC (or default, I believe most of the time it works automatically correctly), the screenshot will be taken correctly. Having said that, I have had VLC behave differently on different OSs or with different video cards/drivers. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 09:31, 21 August 2016 (EDT)
:::VLC ''should'' preserve the native aspect ratio, but I know older versions had a bug where it automatically set it to 16:9. I'm pretty sure this has been fixed. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 15:44, 21 August 2016 (EDT)
:::: Yeah, my concern was that whether I should leave the aspect ratio when I load up a DVD on VLC prior to taking screenshots or not. I looked around to see if 4:3 or 16:9 is the correct AR for DVDs. [[User:Ominae|Ominae]] ([[User talk:Ominae|talk]]) 22:24, 21 August 2016 (EDT)
:::::When in doubt, go to IMDB and look under Technical Specifications. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 23:37, 21 August 2016 (EDT)
::::::It should also say what the aspect ratio should be on the back of the disc case. For example, 4:3, 1.78:1 or 2.35:1 are the aspect ratios listed on 3 DVDs I just pulled off of my shelf. In all these 3 cases VLC picked and displayed the correct aspect ratio in the "Default" mode. Just to add, anything with an aspect ratio wider than 1.78:1 or 16:9 will actually be 16:9 with black bars at the top and bottom. I was about to suggest cropping it in VLC to the aspect ratio displayed on the back of the case (e.g. 2.35:1), but when I try to take a screenshot with the video cropped VLC crashes every time. Does anybody else have this problem? Regardless, you are probably better off using something like FastStone to batch crop letter-boxed screenshots, as it is quite common that the image is not actually in the centre or is slightly off-spec so if VLC crops it you either end up with some of the image being chopped off or it leaving bits of black behind. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]])
 
== Question about trigger discipline  ==
 
So I've seen some photos from about the WW1 to the WW2 era and noticed that the trigger discipline wasn't stellar. But seemingly around, ohh, maybe the sixties and forward it seemed to improve and nowadays it's exercised fairly well amongst civilians to cops and various armed forces. What im wondering is when and why did this change happen? I doubt someone stop up one day and said that people should keep their fingers off their triggers when they weren't gun blasting and that was it, but there must have been something that changed the attitude towards it. Anyone has any info on this?--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 19:42, 26 August 2016 (EDT)

I guess, I made ID of Thark Rifle in John Carter movie

At the John Carter movie, most Tharks (Green Martian clan) use Thark Martian rifles. Of course, it was futurised guns, but, after closing inspection of the original movie props, I notice, that's this futusistic rifles were made from Tanegashimas (of course, a modern replicas). For proving this guess, I made a photoshoping compilation of the movie props and modern Tanegashima replica. So, I guess, that's useful to ID the gun as Tanegashma.

A photoshoping compilation of the movie props and modern Tanegashima replica. The serpent for the match and closing powderbox (1), which is almost similar on the Tanegashima and Thark rifle. The pistol-grip buttstock (2) which is also almost similar. Of course, the movie prop is equipped with some part of other guns (percussion hammer) as well as some junks, to look more futuristic, as well, it's sawn in half, but the basing gun is Tanegashima.

Blue Muzzle Flashes

Something I have noticed with classic action films, mostly within the 80's era, is that a lot of muzzle flashes appear more blue than yellow. Did this have something to do with the type of blanks/props that were being used back then, or was this just a result of 1980's cinematography? --Theakker3 (talk) 12:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Monsters vs Aliens?

Should we add a page about Monsters vs Aliens, the movie has some detailed guns like the M4 Carbine

Prodigal Son - Season 2, Unknown semi-auto pistol

I believe have a positive ID on the "unknown" semi-auto pistol listed for Prodigal Son - Season 2.

I requested an account specifically to help with this ID but I don't understand how to correctly add this info

If someone could vet this and add it, I'd appreciate it!

Prodigal Son - S02E10, "Exit Strategy". At approx 34m:30s, Felix (spoiler: Clayton Fielder's twin) climbs a staircase while brandishing, then racking, a silver-tone semi-auto I identify as a TriStar P-120 (CZ75 clone). It's later seen several times from virtually every conceivable angle starting around 38:10.

I checked it and I think you're right, so I did make all the necessary changes. By the way, don't forget to put your nickname and time in all discussions using 4 "~" at the end of each post. Pustelga7 (talk) 15:30, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Stunt/action choreography for a director's page

On the page for stunt choreographer and two-time film director Kensuke Sonomura, I've added a list of films and games that he contributed stunt direction and choreography to. I'm planning on fully adding these productions to his category, but I was told to ask an admin first because stunt coordination is a pretty niche credit, however I believe that these productions should be added to his category as stunt and action sequences are vital and important parts of these films and games. Is it safe to add the pages? --Dnkakusei (talk) 12:50, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Firearm citations without screen grabs?

I am new here, and I have not seen any guidelines about whether it's okay to cite a firearm in a movie listing without an associated screen grab. Is it better to have a weapon identified, even without a photo? ... or is it really better to make sure that each citation includes corresponding screen grabs? --226X5-9-TAC (talk) 23:02, 15 December 2023 (UTC).

First off, welcome aboard. As for your question, if it's a pre-existing page, then pointing out a specific gun that doesn't already have a screencap is fine, as long as you're specific about when and where it appears (though having a screencap is always preferable). If it's for a page that doesn't exist yet, we'd prefer not - we have an excess of pages without screencaps as-is. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 23:43, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Not really a detailed enough shot to tell much. Appears to be a mid-size, .38 or therabouts. Ejector rod looks rather long which makes me think it has a socket, which would make it a S&W. If so, likely a Military & Police model. StanTheMan (talk) 17:30, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
