Look I need help in deleting File:Leprechaun rifle 10.jpg.

I found a better quality picture and edited it in Microsoft paint. I opened many pages and articles on how to delete the old but it was so hard and complicated. I didn't want to talk to you because I feel embarrassed because I don't want someone else to keep doing my work for me, I wanted to learn so I can do it by myself at the next situation

How do I delete the image file itself but not in the article?

I tried to find many to ways to delete the picture but I can't and also I need this tip for future references.

I tried uploading http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:TBD_1.2.jpg, http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:TBD_1.3.jpg and http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:TBD_1.0.jpg in The Devil's Brigade

But it won't work. Please fix it, don't delete it

Re: If you're wondering why Greg-Z undid your edits to those pages

Sorry, mate. When I find something like that, an urge to correct an article happens. -_- Ominae (talk) 09:35, 14 April 2018 (EDT)

More on the M6A3

Been doing a little more digging (went to the National Archives) on whether or not the M6A3 used steel or copper as the liner. I scanned (its on my google drive) an original copy of OP 1720 to figure out what was going on with the M6A5. M6A5 has a copper liner and penetrates 4.5-5 inches at 30 degrees. Paper estimates 5.25-5.75 inches (call in 5.5 inches or 140mm) if vertical. Also, the same paper notes that the Cavity Charge Container Mk. 1 (page 12), uses the steel liner of the "2.36 inch HE, AT rocket". Also found this paper that explicitly list the bazooka as using a steel liner.

So still nothing 100% on the M6A3's liner, but pretty decent circumstantial evidence. Oh, and just for the sake of completeness, the M6A4 is the A3 with a boresafe fuze that isn't quite so alarmingly sensitive

Not really trying to one-up you in a nerdfight, but this has been bugging me for a year and I finally found the answer.--Mandolin (talk) 15:51, 29 April 2018 (EDT)

Type 94 75 mm mountain gun

Was my page the Type 94 75 mm mountain gun just not categorized properly? I wonder why it was deleted.

Check my ID of the rifle in the movie

Hello, Evil Tim! Excuse me, I have some question: how do you think, is my ID of the rifle is correct or not? Pyramid Silent (talk) 05:00, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

BG-15

Sorry about the BG-15 edits, I was unaware you were editing while I was, didn't mean to undo them on purpose. I found this image that might be a better choice, could you please confirm if this image is better for identification for both the 9th Company: Roots of Terror page and the main GP series page? --Ssantusky (talk) 11:30, 1 July 2018 (EDT)

BG-15 Airsoft

You're certainly right about the CAW airsoft versions (they don't have wooden grips) but they do have typical airsoft orange markings around the muzzle, which the image I showed you doesn't, so I don't know what to think. I haven't found anything on the wooden grips at all. Researching I came across BG-15 information using the book "US Grenade Launchers: M79, M203, and M320" by Gordon L. Rottman, which I used to update the GP series page. I also found on Military-Today.com some information (which I also used to updated the GP series page) aside from images, particularly this one, which is the same image, but listed as a GP-25. What do you think about all this? --Ssantusky (talk) 12:11, 1 July 2018 (EDT)

Military-Today

Thanks for the heads-up regarding Military-Today. I crossed referenced with the book I told you just in case, so I hope the updated BG-15 information on the main GP series page is OK. Is it alright then if I use that image I sent you for identification on the BG-15? --Ssantusky (talk) 12:40, 1 July 2018 (EDT)

The Truth About 9th Company

Hello Evil Tim, I wanted to let you know that I came across a strange Soviet wooden-gripped underbarrel grenade launcher (like the BG-15 you mentioned) while creating the page for the game The Truth About 9th Company. Said grenade launcher also has a strange trigger guard lifted seemingly off an M203. Could you please verify? Thanks. --Ssantusky (talk) 06:35, 3 July 2018 (EDT)

Hi I need help in deleting the black side bars of http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:Mercenary_rifle_11_6.jpg

I tried removing the black side bars in Microsoft paint but it keeps coming back

Reuploaded the new no black side bars version with http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:Mercenary_rifle_11_8.jpg

Striker-12

Are you sure this file is an original striker? I see the Striker-12's thumb tab on it. --Wuzh (talk) 03:15, 20 October 2018 (EDT)

I talked to some of my friends on the Gun wiki. They pointed out this video, which showcases a Striker with the thumb tab, rear lever (kinda hard to see but it's there), semi-auto fire, and automatic ejection. This YouTube video showing a Striker (which I liked a lot) also shows what seems to be a Striker-12 with thumb tab, a much more obvious rear lever, semi-auto fire, wind-up key, and automatic ejection, though it is named incorrectly. I personally think that Striker-12s with rear levers did exist. --Wuzh (talk) 03:23, 20 October 2018 (EDT)

Re: SVDK

I'm not saying is a EXACTLY a .50 caliber but get close to. (Like .308 and 7,62x51mm are not the same thing). I'm continental European so I will tell you honestly than I would like to know how a inch is. (I think is something like 0.254 of difference judging by the fact that the .45 ACP is a 11.45mm) --Dannyguns (talk) 13:23, 10 November 2018 (EST)

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Any idea what this thing is supposed to be? It's Lara's standard pistol from the new game, and all I could come up with is some M1911/Hi-Power/S&W semi-auto frankengun.

FG42

I meant to ask this earlier, but I didn't because procrastination. Anyway, I've noticed at least a couple of instances where you've claimed that the FG42 would in some way destroy itself if fired in sustained full-auto. I'm curious as to where you got this information, because, no offense, but it sounds like complete BS. The FG42 was meant from the get-go as a hybrid rifle/LMG, so I highly doubt that it would've gone through the German ordnance department's testing if it'd break when you tried to use it the way it was intended; even if this was the case, by the time they got around to the 2nd pattern (with the normal-looking pistol grip), they probably would've ironed that out. I guess it could be an overheating problem, but even then, exactly how you're going to overheat an open-bolt rifle with a 20-round magazine to the point of it exploding before either locking it up in a miserable jam, running out of ammunition, or setting the handguard on fire isn't really clear. In fact, there was a Forgotten Weapons video that recently got re-uploaded (because Youtube's rules don't make any sense) showing Ian firing an actual, original FG42 in full-auto, showing neither evidence nor fear of catastrophic failure of a gun that wound up selling for 159 grand. (Here's the video, if you're interested.) If anything, it sounds like wartime/post-war propaganda more than anything else; i.e. "Oh, that fancy new rifle that the Nazis've got? Nah, don't worry about that! Sure, a hybrid machine gun/rifle sounds pretty advanced, but we've done some testing, and they don't even work! In fact, if they try to use one as a machine gun, it'll blow itself to bits! HA! See how much better our engineering is than theirs, men? If this is what they're arming their troops with, then we'll have Berlin by Christmas! (Brought to you by the people who claimed that the Sturmgewehr 44 could be irreparably destroyed by dropping it on the floor.)" Thoughts? Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 17:39, 5 December 2018 (EST)

Ah, okay, I hadn't heard that bit about the actual source of the StG thing, I'd always thought that that was just a rumor. Anyway, I can understand the issue with the FG42, though I still think we ought to include it in the Machine Gun category - after all, if we classified things based on how they performed instead of their characteristics and design intent, then, for example, the L86A2 would be more at home in Category:Sniper Rifle than in Category:Machine Gun (being issued and treated like a DMR, despite being meant and designed with features of an LSW), and something like the Breda Modello 30 probably wouldn't even go into Category:Gun. So, would adding the category be okay? Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 21:35, 6 December 2018 (EST)

True, but it's hardly the only one. I mean, to name a few, we've got the aforementioned L86, things like the Galil ARM and M27 IAR that aren't much more than normal assault rifles with a few LMG features, the Chauchat that'd lock up and refuse to fire if you used too much sustained fire (and often saw use as a sort of battle rifle in practice), and even things like the Federov Avtomat (which, in spite of intent, had far more in common with an assault/battle rifle than a proper machine gun) and the downright laughable M14E2 SAW (which fits this description pretty much perfectly - an implausible design brief that didn't pan out like it was supposed to, and essentially just resulted in a select-fire battle rifle with a bipod and a few other features that'd be more at home on a machine gun). I'll leave the final decision up to you, but were it up to me, I'd at least add the category and make a note on the page of how it was meant as a light machine gun, but turned out to be inadequate in that role, and was mostly just used as a battle rifle instead. Now, if you'd excuse me, I noticed a few other things missing from that category page that ought to be added. Sincerely, Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 22:17, 6 December 2018 (EST) P.S.: Maybe we should create a Discord. At any rate, it'd make discussions like these a bit easier.

User:Wuzh

This guy's been taking a lot of liberties on the site lately, including so far as to more-or-less on his own decide to at some point conduct a massive site-wide addition of a template of every page with 'the' at the start and wholesale moving a whole subcategory of firearms on the site. Frankly this is rubbing me the wrong way - not so much doing it but that he's doing these big edits without giving any leave for those of you who run things to even address any of this. Bah, well, there it is, bringing it to your (and a few others) attention. StanTheMan (talk) 23:02, 12 December 2018 (EST)

Hi, I wish to update on the situation. Me and StanTheMan have directly messaged each other and have settled the conflict. I apologize over my rashness at executing my proposals without proper discussions first and will to change my behavior in the future. The situation should be settled for now. --Wuzh (talk) 23:59, 12 December 2018 (EST)

Beta C-Mag deletion

I uploaded and used the image of the Beta C-Mag instead of the greenish image of the G36 in MG36-identical configuration because there is often a fundamental difference between that image and these video games' railed MG36. Practically, the "MG36" in these games is a G36 with a G36C rail and bipod handguard (considering our the current definition of the MG36). By itself, without even taking the C-Mag into consideration, that is a very unusual configuration. I have not been able to find any images of real firing full-length G36s with G36C rails, let alone G36 with G36C rails and the bipod handguard. Thus, the airsoft image serves as the perfect illustrating image for the gun models in these games. This model is fundamentally different from a "MG36-mock-up-model" since it is not a normal G36 trying to look like a MG36. It is a "video game MG36", with G36C rails and bipod handguard and Beta C-Mag.

As a result, I find that greenish image of a normal G36 in MG36 configuration ("MG36-mock-up-model") to be unnecessary on those pages since they look nothing like the "video game MG36", and should be removed. As to why I replaced them with the Beta C-Mag, it's because the airsoft "video game MG36" had a normal magazine, so a Beta C-Mag is needed to illustrate the mag. Can you revert the file deletion please? Thanks. --Wuzh (talk) 20:48, 19 December 2018 (EST)

OK then. Can I remove the "MG36-mock-up" image from those pages for the reasons I stated above? --Wuzh (talk) 09:13, 20 December 2018 (EST)

M47 Dragon

I finally found a source for Dragon penetration, FM -06.11, page 308 of the PDF. As for Javelin, THIS Marine Corps document says "well" in excess of 30 inches (760mm)

Of course there's a dozen different opinions on Dragon, Infantry Magazine outright states 20 inches. In 1975--Mandolin (talk) 21:28, 9 March 2019 (EST)

Interesting. Got any good links on that? Not saying I don't believe you, just that there's fifteen different opinions on the Dragon depending on who you ask. Also base Dragon's pen is so low the designer was massively incompetent.--Mandolin (talk) 05:48, 10 March 2019 (EDT)

Dissolve the M16/M4/M4A1 with M203 sections?

Hello Evil Tim. I posted a section on the M16 talk page about dissolving the "M16/M4/M4A1 with M203" sections, as I do not think those sections are needed, and they add inconsistency. The talk page section can be read here. What do you think about the proposal? Is it OK? --Wuzh (talk) 14:04, 22 May 2019 (EDT)

Incomplete Metal Gear Solid 2 article

Hello Evil Tim, I noticed the MGS2 article has been tagged as incomplete for some time. You seem to have edited it a lot, do you know if there is anything left to do on it, or can it be tagged as complete by now? Same as with the MGS3 article, I just wanted to know what's incomplete about them, as they seem pretty complete by now.--Ssantusky (talk) 05:41, 14 September 2019 (EDT)

The Watermarked Kard Image

In the file talk for the deleted Kard image, a point was brought up that the gun shown in that image shows a specific version of the Kard not shown in any other known photographs, and it is also the version modeled in several games. I would make the argument that the image needs to be brought back to illustrate that specific Kard, regardless of the watermarks. --Wuzh (talk) 10:00, 18 December 2019 (EST)

-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?

Model is the company's name for the pistols they sold to the public.  M1911 is used by a lot of people as a generic description for that type of pistol.  When I say Commercial  M1911, I mean a commercial version of the M1911.  There is nothing actually erroneous about that description.  But think about it.  People KNOW the difference between the M1911 and the M1911A1, they know that there were improvements made between the wars.  Just calling them the Govt Model doesn't help people to ultimately get to know the difference.  Boy, I sure attract a lot of guys who hate on me.  This guy needs anger management.  Now if we need to update the descriptions, we can.  On his conduct, you were right.  His rage makes him an unacceptable element on IMFDB.  Doesn't matter how much he knows.  If he becomes that abusive that quickly, then he is not the personality type that moves IMFDB forward.  Thanks for the note.  I think I (we as in you're a mod too) need to come up with a code of conduct that warns people to be polite.  There are sites out there that are so deathly afraid of offending someone's sensibilities or their freedom of speech, that they are often held hostage by people who promote bad behavior.  We welcome corrections when they are done in the right way.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:20, 25 December 2011 (CST)

Rottman, which I used to update the GP series page. I also found on [http://www.military-today.com/firearms/gp_25.htm Military-Today.com] some information (which I also used to updated the GP series page) aside from images, [http://www.military-today.com/firearms/gp_25_images.htm particularly this one, which is the same image, but listed as a GP-25].

-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...

Thoughts? --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 15:44, 23 February 2012 (CST)
+== Re: SVDK ==
-: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)

+I meant to ask this earlier, but I didn't because procrastination. Anyway, I've noticed at least a couple of instances where you've claimed that the [[FG42]] would in some way destroy itself if fired in sustained full-auto. I'm curious as to where you got this information, because, no offense, but it sounds like complete BS. The FG42 was meant from the get-go as a hybrid rifle/LMG, so I highly doubt that it would've gone through the German ordnance department's testing if it'd break when you tried to use it the way it was intended; even if this was the case, by the time they got around to the 2nd pattern (with the normal-looking pistol grip), they probably would've ironed that out. I guess it ''could'' be an overheating problem, but even then, exactly how you're going to overheat an open-bolt rifle with a 20-round magazine to the point of it exploding before either locking it up in a miserable jam, running out of ammunition, or setting the handguard on fire isn't really clear. In fact, there was a Forgotten Weapons video that recently got re-uploaded (because Youtube's rules don't make any sense) showing Ian firing an actual, original FG42 in full-auto, showing neither evidence nor fear of catastrophic failure of a gun that wound up selling for 159 grand. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x6LibuC4N0 Here's the video, if you're interested.]) If anything, it sounds like wartime/post-war propaganda more than anything else; i.e. "Oh, that fancy new rifle that the Nazis've got? Nah, don't worry about that! Sure, a hybrid machine gun/rifle ''sounds'' pretty advanced, but we've done some testing, and they don't even work! In fact, if they try to ''use'' one as a machine gun, it'll blow itself to bits! HA! See how much better our engineering is than theirs, men? If this is what they're arming their troops with, then we'll have Berlin by Christmas! (Brought to you by the people who claimed that the [[Sturmgewehr 44]] could be irreparably destroyed by dropping it on the floor.)" Thoughts?

+:Ah, okay, I hadn't heard that bit about the actual source of the StG thing, I'd always thought that that was just a rumor. Anyway, I can understand the issue with the FG42, though I still think we ought to include it in the Machine Gun category - after all, if we classified things based on how they ''performed'' instead of their characteristics and design intent, then, for example, the [[L86A2]] would be more at home in [[:Category:Sniper Rifle]] than in [[:Category:Machine Gun]] (being issued and treated like a DMR, despite being meant and designed with features of an LSW), and something like the [[Breda Modello 30]] probably wouldn't even go into [[:Category:Gun]]. So, would adding the category be okay? [[User:Pyr0m4n14c|Pyr0m4n14c]] ([[User talk:Pyr0m4n14c|talk]]) 21:35, 6 December 2018 (EST)
+::True, but it's hardly the only one. I mean, to name a few, we've got the aforementioned L86, things like the [[Galil ARM]] and [[M27 IAR]] that aren't much more than normal assault rifles with a few LMG features, the [[Chauchat]] that'd lock up and refuse to fire if you used too much sustained fire (and often saw use as a sort of battle rifle in practice), and even things like the [[Federov Avtomat]] (which, in spite of intent, had far more in common with an assault/battle rifle than a proper machine gun) and the downright laughable [[M14 rifle|M14E2 SAW]] (which fits this description pretty much perfectly - an implausible design brief that didn't pan out like it was supposed to, and essentially just resulted in a select-fire battle rifle with a bipod and a few other features that'd be more at home on a machine gun). I'll leave the final decision up to you, but were it up to me, I'd at least add the category and make a note on the page of how it was meant as a light machine gun, but turned out to be inadequate in that role, and was mostly just used as a battle rifle instead. Now, if you'd excuse me, I noticed a few other things missing from that category page that ought to be added.

-== Masterkey in Homefront ==
+== Beta C-Mag deletion ==
-Hi. Please change the Masterkey's gun image on the [[Homefront]] page to this one, as this has a slightly better quality, and it is visible that the rifle is actually a KAC SR-16, not a Colt M4.
+I uploaded and used the image of the Beta C-Mag instead of the greenish image of the G36 in MG36-identical configuration because there is often a fundamental difference between that image and these video games' railed MG36. Practically, the "MG36" in these games is a G36 with a G36C rail and bipod handguard (considering our the current definition of the MG36). By itself, without even taking the C-Mag into consideration, that is a very unusual configuration. I have not been able to find any images of real firing full-length G36s with G36C rails, let alone G36 with G36C rails and the bipod handguard. Thus, the airsoft image serves as the perfect illustrating image for the gun models in these games. This model is fundamentally different from a "MG36-mock-up-model" since it is not a normal G36 trying to look like a MG36. It is a "video game MG36", with G36C rails and bipod handguard and Beta C-Mag.

-Hey listen, I'm sorry about messing up your page, but seriously dude. You didnt listen to me when I was nice, and I'm sorry about Rockwolf's page too. I have no issue with anyone on this site except you because you keep wrongfully banning me after I helped out. I contacted other admins and the sites owner about this. And you still wouldnt give me a fair chance, so yes, I'm human, I went off on you because I had had enough. I like guns and Goldeneye, I really wanna help with this site, but if I keep being harassed, then how can I do that? PS: I also didnt take to kindly to you and your friend refering to Irish people as "Liams". I'm Irish, and that offends me. [[User:ColdSteel|ColdSteel]] 20:48, 9 April 2012 (CDT)

-== 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). I look forward to hearing your feedback! :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 11:15, 9 May 2012 (CDT)

-No, it was with an AI Sheva. I cannot play co-op because the online part of G4WL games does not work in Slovakia. BTW, there was an Ithaca and a Skorpion in her inventory, but no ammo for them, so probably that is why she went with the Beretta.

-== 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. Thanks for staying on this! --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 14:07, 22 May 2012 (CDT)

-==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)

-:::KillerUzi seemed a bit calmer than Liam, who obviously is venting his rage (at Zackmann, of all people, who wasn't even a user much less an admin when he got booted.)

-::::Oh, a copycat. I got to read his deleted bio a few minutes ago. Upstate NY and no caps. Declan (KillerUzi) is from upstate NY as well. Oh well, we have a new tidbit for his IMDb page: "Does not take rejection well." --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 08:52, 17 August 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.  Great work BTW.  I've been pretty busy with movies and stuff so I have not had time to resubmit gun pics.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]
-== 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]]

-== 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)

-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)
-==Blood Dragon==
-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. Like I said before, I think it should be its own page, as it's a standalone, has an independent plot, looks dramatically different, and FC3 page is already pretty big as is. 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)
-:Oh, absolutely. I actually tried merging it with the ''Call of Duty'' page a few months ago like I did the ''Jagged Edge 2'' and ''Jagged Edge 2: Unfinished Business'' pages, but it was too much of a pain.

-== 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.

-== 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).<br />
-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)

-== 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.

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.

-Though I don't have any mortars (I only have so so mockups made by prop shops) I know that the ATF classifies the Mortars as Destructive Devices.  I know of one armorer who took all the hardware and DID put his own thin walled tube just so that it could be de-classified by the ATF and be rented without hassle, so it has happened before.  Though I cannot speak for those productions (I could ask Harry Lu about Rambo but not any time soon) it seems that your theory is a sound one, aka, faked Mortars based on the surplused U.S. Hardware.  A lot of the ordnance (versus actual firearms) are just fakes.  No one uses REAL grenades, ever.  I don't know why we even list them since all appearances are of the training models of the various grenades or good mocked up fakes.  Same thing with RPGS (for a while, though we do use Real RPG tubes now but fire obviously fake rockets).  :D [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 20:02, 12 February 2015 (EST)

-== Some things about Peace Walker ==
-What you mentioned is a symptom of what could be called "Kojima syndrome." This particular symptom manifests itself in how every mainline MGS game from MGS1 to MGS4 was supposed to be "the last Metal Gear (Solid) game." Yes, each time there was supposed to be "no further games in the series." Which does create problems such as "how can Big Boss use the Patriot in future games if he left it at the original owner's grave?". And how can a made-from-scratch Patriot still have the "piece of the Boss" that she left in the original gun?
-If you ask me, there are a number of problems with that scene from MGS3 and the one with the Boss just before it. How does Naked Snake know the name of the Patriot if he was never told what it was (which could have been solved if the Boss told him, perhaps in a poetic way)? In any case that scene shows that he did, in fact, inherit the Patriot, which is why I referred to it as an "inherited" weapon.
-Next, leaving the Patriot at the Boss' grave only makes sense as a symbolic gesture at the end of a series (which MGS3 didn't turn out to be). The weapon was "appointed" to Big Boss, so why should he abandon it, which would in one way mean abandoning part of the Boss' will? Besides, leaving it at her grave leaves open the possibility of anybody walking by to up and steal a weapon with infinite ammo, which would neither be prudent nor respectful of the Boss' memory. The salute-by-the-grave scene could just as easily gone another way. He could salute the Boss while holding the Patriot (and by extension, his new responsbility) in his other hand, while this time he leaves two bouquets of flowers at her grave: one red, and one white. This would be fitting given the circumstances of the Boss' fate.
-And who was Kojima kidding by getting PW rated Teen?  The vast majority of weaponry is realistically-modelled (for the last time in the MGS series, sadly), and shoots lethal bullets which cause ingame NPCs to fall down dead, not spitballs or airsoft BBs. Actually, the ''lack'' of blood from gunshot wounds in PW is arguably ''more'' realistic most of the time (real gunshot wounds normally don't result in the huge blood sprays often seen in video games). It does continue a trend though; MGS has on a whole tried to avoid gore, with a certain scene with the Cyborg Ninja in the Twin Snakes showing someone being cut in half being the furthest the mainsteam MGS series has gotten so far in the gore department.
-Given what happened in [[Metal_Gear_Solid_V:_Ground_Zeroes|Ground Zeroes]], I bet Big Boss would have loved to have had the Patriot available in that ending scene. Could have made more of a difference there.
---[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh|talk]]) 12:30, 19 February 2015 (EST)
-:Actually, not even "Teen", he actually wanted it to be rated "Everyone", and technically was in Japan (CERO, their equivalent of the ESRB rating system, had the game rated as "C", which is their equivalent of the "E" rating). Apparently the West decided it was a bit too graphic for the E rating so they compromised with "T", something Kojima wasn't particularly happy about. You can read up on it here: http://www.siliconera.com/2010/03/03/metal-gear-solid-peace-walker-is-t-kojima-wishes-it-was-e-for-everyone/
-:Personally, I'm actually quite glad it was only a "T" rating and not an "E" rating considering the pro-Che Guevara bias in the game. It's bad enough that College and High School students are subjected to the lionization of that monster in school by several left-wing professors and teachers who if you ask me have far too much control over impressionable minds. Trying to promote the same lies and propaganda to children as young as first graders via video games is flat out disgusting, really, especially considering that Che Guevara's pretty much one of the reasons why the Cuban Missile Crisis lasted as long as it did (he actually welcomed a nuclear war as he detailed with the London Daily Worker in the aftermath and was disappointed that there weren't millions of deaths in atomic holocaust in the name of liberation). What's even worse about that bit is that they not only talk about the Cuban Missile Crisis frequently in the briefing files, but the main villains actually intended to re-enact that disaster by trying to launch the nuke at Cuba. And besides which, a lot of the Che Guevara talk made several of the characters (especially Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller) extremely out of character by praising such a genocidal nutjob. Especially Big Boss considering he already dealt with a monster who was similar to Che Guevara in behavior: Colonel Volgin in MGS3 (probably the only difference is that Volgin just barely had enough honor to actually allow Snake to fight him one on one in actual combat) and this was a man who he made very clear he hated for his evil nature. As far as Miller, you really think that, with how he was depicted in MG2 and technically MGS (since Liquid's acting had to be pretty good for Solid Snake to be fooled by the imitation), Miller would have been the type to praise such a psychopath, and even ignoring that, he was probably one of the few characters in Peace Walker who actually seems pro-American, or at least likes it far better than his home country of Japan. They should have limited the Che Guevara praise to the FSLN, at least they had an actual reason to praise him due to their undergoing a Socialist revolution. Even though I'm a bit miffed with the character of Cecile Cosima Caminades, one of the few positives about her character is that she was probably the only one of the main protagonists to actually not view Che as a good guy (since the Sartre tape had her saying that "[Sartre] did tend to sympathize with the left" in a tone that indicated that she didn't exactly agree with either Snake or Sartre on the claim that Che was the most complete human being of the century), especially when the only other character to not have much good things to say about Che, Coldman, was pretty obviously a bad guy. Whew, sorry for the Che rant, but this is a really huge issue for me, especially when I learned his true nature with the Politically Incorrect Guide to Vietnam and after I actually was briefly snookered by Peace Walker's claims about him. It's actually about as bad as George Lucas promoting the Vietcong as good guys and strongly implying that he considered America during the Vietnam War to be evil by having the Galactic Empire represent the American forces in Return of the Jedi, even though they were Communists, and besides which there were plenty of other factions he could have used for guerilla warfare during that movie, like the Minutemen, or even the French Resistance during World War II.
-:And yeah, it's suffered from Kojima syndrome alright. Heck, it basically retconned a whole lot (then again, this is Metal Gear and Kojima, which probably has done far more retcons than even George Lucas could ever hope to do with Star Wars), including Miller's backstory and heritage, Huey's legs, and, heck, even EVA's backstory of Big Boss and the Patriots' split. Heck, Ground Zeroes had an offhand mention of the Sandinistas being "Soviet bloc" despite the fact that Amanda's Unit explicitly rebelled against the Soviets, especially their handler Vladimir Zadornov, meaning they aren't even Soviet bloc now. I think Peace Walker is the only game he pretty much avoided stating would be his last game (MGS is in the gray area as while Kojima DID mention it was his last game, he also said he specifically named the president Solidus specifically for a sequel in mind in a later twitter post). [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] ([[User talk:Pokeria1|talk]]) 13:00, 19 February 2015 (EST)
-I can now confirm that the JP version of Peace Walker was marketed to kids. Just look at [http://youtu.be/Ew4TRnWZg1I this Japanese commercial] for the game. Apparently even schoolchildren will have fun with ''Militaires Sans Frontieres''. At least Kojima brought back the "horrors of war" theme for MGS5. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh|talk]]) 19:39, 19 February 2015 (EST)
-:Yes, and he basically idiotically poisoned the minds of countless Japanese children with the lies about Che Guevara being a good guy, especially when the London Daily Worker interview wasn't even hard to find. Heck, you can even find his little UN speech from 1964 easily on Youtube. Yet he didn't even attempt to show those darker elements of Che's character in the game.

-== Assassin's Creed Black Flag ==
-You undid my undoing of the unnecessary edit on the Black Flag page. May I ask why? Because the weapon in question is not a blunderbuss and the weapon in the game does not match the image reference nor the description of a blunderbuss. The screenshots from the game don't even seem to depict the same weapon, none which match the provided real weapon image. A closer match would be:
-http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/lmtd-18th-century-flared-mouth-flintlock-pistol-replica-with-gray-ornate-handle-butt-and-barrel?a=653971
-So yeah, I think my edit was warranted, because the edit was not adding accurate information and the in-game screenshots are still sub-par for comparison purposes since they depict multiple firearms. Does the user making the edit even own the game? Because in my experience, the Assassins Creed games usually contains encyclopaedic information about the items within it and there is likely to
-be a detailed entry about the exact gun it's based on, or at the very least it's features (Which would aid identification). [[User:Mutant1988|Mutant1988]] ([[User talk:Mutant1988|talk]]) 16:38, 13 October 2015 (EDT)

-== An odd case of the "remove black bars from screenshots" policy around here ==
-I noticed you protected my page on [[Silent Hill 4]] recently, so I'd like to ask you about something regarding the screenshots I supplied there. Another user recently uploaded newer version of my cutscene screenshots (specifically those dealing with the character of Richard Braintree) from that game, but I believe that kind of edit was problematic for the following reasons:
-*The black bars of those screenshots contain subtitles of dialogue from the game. One of them has had dialogue cut off along with the black bars. I believe that English subtitles help to make screenshots more informative.
-*''Silent Hill 4'' was originally designed to display on 4:3 monitors. I believe preserving the original aspect ratio of the material is important to showing just what the media in question looks like, or else we would be cropping out old 4:3 images to meet the newer 16:9 standard.
-I don't want to start an "edit war" by simply reverting the edited screenshots back to their original forms, so I'd like a moderator's opinion on this. If this question would be better addressed in the forum, then please tell me.
-By the way, I don't suppose you could make a newer version of your "Evolution of Fictional Guns" image showing exactly which titles/series the fictional guns come from? I don't recognize the one on the bottom of that image. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh|talk]]) 22:42, 21 November 2015 (EST)

I've tried copying the television category code and changing "Television" to "Video Games", but that isn't working, and I've even studied the code on other similarly setup templates and tried copying from there, but ''still'' can't get it to work.

-== Journalist Seeking Input ==
-Hi there! Sorry to bother you out of the blue.
-I'm a journalist covering games and technology, and I'm currently working on a piece about firearms in games.
-Specifically, the piece is about games with realistic real-world weapons versus games with fanciful Halo-style sci-fi weapons. A focal point will be the Call of Duty franchise, which has shifted from real historical settings to plausible near-future scenarios to more distant future scenarios.
-I'm reaching out to several in the IMFDB community who have made contributions to CoD pages to see if they'd be available to answer some questions--via phone, Skype or email--about their take on the franchise, and their general take on authenticity of firearms in games.
-I was particularly interested in getting your input, because the sequence of images on your user page definitely gets at what I'm trying to explore in this article.
-Would you be willing to participate? I'd be glad to maintain your pseudonymity, or come up with an alternate name or handle so you'd be anonymous, or use your actual name. You could make the call on that.
-If you're up for participating, you can reply here or let me know on my Talk page or feel free to email me at: chrisbaker1337 at gmail dot com
-Thanks so much!
-== Would still love to chat for article ==
-Hi! I'd definitely still love to chat if you're up for it. Either via email or skype/phone. I'm chrisbaker1337 at gmail. Thanks!
-== Stealth edits ==
-For the record, I often use slightly bigger thumbnails for rifles and other long shoulder arms since they often look a tad small otherwise. But they were almost all 450px, hardly what could be called 'random'. I think the deal here is that several of the gun images used on that page are quite small - I didn't realize that until afterward, but I let the edits stand anyway; when the actual image is ~380px whether a thumbnail is 400 or 450 is rather irrelevant. Now I reverted but in the spirit of respecting your concern I left the thumbnail sizes alone, save for the pistols since it's been stated they are preferred set at 300px. The other edits are compliant with site norms (using the template code, dividing longer sections and eliminating long redirects), there's no reason to do away with them. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 14:47, 6 June 2016 (EDT)
-: '''"I still don't see why we're sticking mounted machine guns with handheld ones"''' <BR> Because that's how it's done on just about every other page? Just trying to be uniform with the rest of the site. Machine Guns go with Machine Guns, pretty much end of there. 'Mounted Weaponry' (which is an atypical section name - I renamed it to 'Other' because that is typical) is as I understand mainly for weapons that don't fit into the other regular/typical categories but are listed on the site (autocannons, etc)
-: '''"using unnecessary rank shorthands"''' <BR> That too is done on other pages, though admittedly it's optional. Either/or.
-: '''"saying a DMR is a sniper rifle"''' <BR> Without being pedantic, I believe that they are considered the same for the purposes of basic categorization. Same reason why SMG sections have guns that are also called machine pistols and 'PDWs', and so on. That said, 'DMR' is not a typical section/category name and thus not with the style of the overwhelming majority of the rest of the site. We have a 'sniper rifle' gun category, but no DMR category, hence 'sniper rifle' sections not 'DMR' ones. Given many who look at it won't know the difference (or care) 'sniper rifle' is again more general, inclusive and simpler.
-: '''"weirding around with the section divisions"''' When a section gets above ten or so guns it's usually a good idea to divide them further if possible, I'm sure this was discussed somewhere (it's the reason behind why some pages use separate sections for semiautos and revolvers while others just have 'handguns'). Hence why having separate 'assault rifles' and 'rifles' (AKA Battle rifles) categories. That said, if you're not gonna go that way, then at least the section could just be called 'Rifles', again, to be simpler.
-: '''"Also, Heckler & Koch use "HK" as a shorthand themselves."''' Forgot about that. Either/or there as well.
-<BR>
-: Now I won't touch the page again until there's some understanding or what-have-you but all told, there is reasoning and a degree of precedent behind most of my edits, edits which I've done throughout the site without issue before. I don't really see much the issue now. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 02:27, 7 June 2016 (EDT)
-:: I still prefer to keep things condensed and as simple as possible most of the time, other admins have made notes about avoiding over-complicating things on the site. A 'DMR' classification seems a bit much; as stated we're not a gun encyclopedia - We again don't have a specific 'DMR' category for gun pages. Should we get one that'd be another thing but ultimately I don't feel we need to be ''quite'' so specific for category headings on media pages (typically, anyway). I also still disagree with the machine guns - again, that's just not common to the rest of the site as I know. IIRC, the other pages that have 'mounted weapon' categories that include machine guns have them there because there's only one or two and because they are the only ones; there are no non-mounted machine guns for that piece of media. Finally, I again still believe having 'assault rifles & battle rifles' combined seems a bit exhaustive and bloated, especially when the section has such a large number of guns that, in terms of lookup/reference, would be better served by being split up further. <BR><BR> Again, I think these are all perfectly valid points. THAT SAID, your points, though I mainly disagree, are fair enough. All-told, I don't care to keep going back and forth - I still don't see what the big deal is here but I'll make it not one and drop the matter for this particular page, at least for the time being.
