| == Some question of rare gun in movie ==
| | 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.

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.]] |

| ==Excess Gun Image(s)==
| | Just want to holler at the mod/s just in case. [[User:Ominae|Ominae]] ([[User talk:Ominae|talk]]) 07:56, 12 February 2023 (UTC) |
| Most recent example - http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:Remington_870_with_Hogue_pistol_grip.jpeg <BR>
| | : Got more screenshots from Detective Conan marked for deletion since Netflix Japan's able to get remastered episodes out and I'm slowly using them to update pages here. [[User:Ominae|Ominae]] ([[User talk:Ominae|talk]]) 01:19, 3 March 2023 (UTC) |
| Straight-up, I'm not sure this is a worthy image for inclusion. It's clearly a jacked one of someone's personal gun and not even that good a pic, either. I've seen quite a few excess gun images of this speed around actually, many only used on just one particular page (if that). Forgive me but I'm of the strong opinion that just because one particular show or movie has a gun in a particular configuration doesn't mean we absolutely have to have an image - in this case, *any* image - of said gun in said particular configuration. As stated we're not a gun encyclopedia, and I think this kind of thing leans a bit too far that way, frankly. I'd start marking some of these for deletion review but before I do I wanted some additional input on this. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 02:25, 18 January 2017 (EST)

| :: "The following page links to this file: '''Talk:Remington Model 870'''" --[[User:Slon95|Slon95]] ([[User talk:Slon95|talk]]) 08:05, 18 January 2017 (EST)
| |
| ::: It was uploaded by Ominae I believe for the Gotham S3 page, now it looks like on that page it's been replaced with what I still think is a superfluous but admittedly much better image by Ben. I had put it on the talk page before deciding on posting about it here - I'll take it off there and nuke-tag it. That aside, I still think we have quite a load more of one-off gun pics and I wonder if they're really necessary in many cases.. I doubt it, but again, I wanted some extra input before I started nuke-tagging anything much more. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 15:44, 18 January 2017 (EST) | |
| :::: I've deleted the original image, but I think it is worth keeping the newer one that Ben uploaded. It is different to all of the other pistol gripped 870 images we have, as all of them either have a shorter barrel or an extended tube. I wouldn't be surprised if there are actually other pages already that would benefit from this image, where this one is a closer match but people have used other images as there wasn't one like this available. As for the wider issue of when to stop adding gun images, my opinion on it is that we do not need pictures of every gun with every accessory that has been used. For example, we do not need a picture of an M4 with an Aimpoint T1 because it appears in one film. However, in this case it is actually the configuration of the gun itself that is unique rather than accessories attached to it, so I think that it is worth the image. Also, it isn't like this is some weird and esoteric custom build, it is a vanilla 870 that has had the stock replaced with a pistol grip, so a pretty common gun I would imagine. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 16:58, 18 January 2017 (EST)

| ::::: Well most of the problem here was the chump image originally put up, which has been dealt with (thanks BTW, Ben). That said, I agree there are other some pages that could use this one and that's all right, great, even - If it can be spread out some, and/or is needed for reference or something I've no problem, but I still think there is something about some gun images again that are only used/meant for one particular page - To have a gun image for one page because it 'matches' in every respect seems a bit ridiculous (that's even if it's used on a page) - Yet people seem to do that quite a bit lately and there are already a fair number images like that it seems.

| :::::: We used to have a serious problem with some users (and some mods) who had this weird fascination with putting as many screencaps as possible. This led to a change in the Rules and regulations. I remember one page that had 30 (!!!) screenshots of the same character firing or brandishing the same gun in nearly identical poses. It was silly, and thankfully, we don't have that problem any more. Many pages that were created a while ago, might still not be updated. Don't be alarmed if you see a ton of weird page formatting and photo discipline.

| ::: Honestly can't remember if it was an 'original' piece or some parody (probably the latter), but there's at least one more recently where in just embedded ad clips I've seen there were several firearms well displayed that, other elements notwithstanding, would make it quite worthy of inclusion. Technically I would think it would be possible to do films of that sort if the firearms are shown in SFW spots, but as pornographic titles have a non-explicitly stated but quite implied unilateral ban, well that's pretty much that. Would make for a good joke though, I agree. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 02:24, 2 April 2017 (EDT)

Even if you made a porno with gunfights that were in SFW portions, I am not 100% sure how the law works with this and I doubt that companies would want to take the risk. As for whether we ban them or not, we don't explicitly (no pun intended) do so, and personally (assuming that the page could be made relatively tastefully) I would not necessarily be against including them. However I don not think that there are many made that would fit our current inclusion criteria in the RSP. Mainly, we state that "the title must be available to the general public through recognized channels of commerce (Amazon, Blockbuster, Netflix, etc.). Self distribution via Amazon, home distribution or micro distribution websites do not qualify". Although pornography is available on Amazon, I believe that it is only through other stores where Amazon handles the transaction so it is arguably inelligible. However, if there was a "pornographic" film which somehow got a wide theatrical release (the most recent example of this sort of thing that springs to mind is stuff like ''Nymphomaniac'') and it featured guns to our inclusion criteria, I would not have a problem with it getting a page. All thing considered though, it is unlikely to happen too much if at all. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 13:48, 3 April 2017 (EDT)

Well, he asked me this: "One quick question: I checked you site, and while its run on mediawiki, i could not find any creative commons license like wikia here has. Do younfolks operate under any of the creative commons licenses, or any other lisence for copyright and reuse?" Now, I'm not entirely sure what most of that means, so... how should I respond?

There are clear distinctions between all three if you observe closely enough - the trigger guard size/shape, overall size of the frame and cylinder, placement of the 'prancing pony' and screw position above the trigger guard, as well as finish in the case of the Anaconda. That said, there aren't many Diamondbacks or Anacondas seen in comparison to Pythons, which themselves aren't featured as heavily in recent years. I think ID pages (which I'm a bit divided about personally) are only warranted if we're talking many versions/variants of very similar models or a series of models that are all quite identical looking in appearance; pages on ARs and 1911s make it there, even SIGs.

| |
| I've been trying to find this pistol with no luck, so I'd thought I'd write down some things I noticed to assist anyone.
| |
| *Rounded Trigger Guard
| |
| *Open-Top slide
| |
| *Rounded trigger (like the [[Beretta 92S]] but unlike the [[Colt M1911A1]])
| |
| *Partially cut-away grip/thumb rest
| |
| *Exposed hammer with back similar to the [[USP]]
| |
| *No visible safety but a visible slide lock
| |
| *Very high-profile front sight
| |
| *Closer to a full-size pistol
| |
| *Frame and aspects of the slide similar to the [[Beretta M1934]]
| |
| <br/>
| |
| With all these characteristics, it makes me feel as if this gun is either a custom piece or a relatively obscure "cheap" clone. Good luck! -[[User:SeptemberJack|SeptemberJack]] ([[User talk:SeptemberJack|talk]]) 23:09, 26 May 2017 (EDT)

| ==PDW development In a 1950's original story==
| |
| | |
| Hi guys im wondering if i could talk about this sort of thing on here. I need folks with knowledge on firearms and history to chat to about my ideas... if this is okay?
| |
| :Not really sure what you mean, if you're asking for advice on writing fiction the forum would probably be better, but hey, as for the question:
| |
| | |
| :Insofar as a PDW is a thing that exists (which if it ever was it no longer is, it's just a marketing term), it's a compact submachine gun with a large magazine, firing armour piercing rounds. The intended use of the PDW concept, in line with the NATO OPDW requirement, was to provide a weapon for vehicle crews and other support troops: more generally, people who don't certify often with their weapons, may need to fire them in a confined space, and may be attacked at close range, that was more effective than a handgun, handier than a rifle and had more punch than a subgun. The concept was derived from the Soviet AKS-74U.
| |
| | |
| :Your first problem in 1950 is that you don't need the armour piercing ability. Kevlar wasn't invented until 1965 and ceramic plate carriers weren't issued until 1967, and the vests issued before that time were flak jackets only really suited for stopping shrapnel and could be penetrated by all but the puniest pistol cartridges, or had steel plates and were too heavy to be used by frontline troops. So unless you have some strange material that's really good for making infantry armour, you're going to need to be screwing around with ceramics and aramids a lot earlier than IRL.
| |
| | |
| :Second you really need to have climbed on board the intermediate cartridge train back in WW1 to get your AKS-74U equivalent in the 50s, which would require a totally ''different'' war to warrant that (urban combat rather than trench warfare). This means you'll have to delay the invention of the machine gun, not invent barbed wire, or invent the tank earlier for some other reason than crossing No Man's Land.
| |
| | |
| :Third to get something like the MP7 or P90 that weighs something sensible, you're going to need to be way ahead on plastics and have a military that doesn't care about making guns that look like toys rather than being made of steel and wood as is proper for soldiering and whatnot.

| | |
| Ah okay, my story actually involves vampires. A group of hunters in secret under the crown are the ones designing this PDW. Since its set in the mid to late 1950's Britain; what they have is the EM-2 rifle to work with as well as many captured weapons from different countries including the FG42. The original inspiration for the PDW was actually from the Bushmaster Armpistol. I'm aware the AR-10 was still in development around this time so its kind of out of the question.
| |
| | |
| They found weapons like the Farquhar Hill Rifle were to slow at staying on target as well as being utterly useless at close range, and weapons like the Sten were not powerful enough.
| |
| | |
| Ive been doing a few plans and hope a few of them are plausible as working prototypes. I know its a story but I love attention to detail. I'd love to hear some opinions on this.
| |
| | |
| Oh ive tried to get on the forum but ive had troubles..
| |
| :Firstly, if you want to join the forum you have to post [[Talk:Forum Request|here]]. As to your question, with the statement "weapons like the Sten were not powerful enough" the problem is that PDWs in the sense that they would be though of today (SMGs firing bottlenecked armour piercing small calibre rounds) are no more "powerful" than pistol rounds. They are designed to do only one thing, and that is to penetrate armour. If the problem with your vampires is that they have hard to pierce skin than this sort of round might be useful, but otherwise a regular pistol round has more wounding potential than something like 5.7x28mm or 4.6x30mm against "soft" targets. The closest you would get to a modern "PDW" in the 1950s would be an SMG chambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev, like a PPS-43. If you just want essentially a compact assault rifle, the AKs-47 would have been around at the time, and it is not beyond the realms of possibility that they could custom chop the barrel down to get a rifle roughly equivalent to the the AKMSU. You could also go for a chopped down STG-44 (they didn't have a folding stock though, but it might be feasible to modify them to have one as at this point you would not have the problems with the steel that lead to the Germans having to have such a long recoil spring). As for Western guns, there were not really any intermediate calibre guns being made at this point, closest would be the EM-2 which you could chop the barrel down a bit on to make more compact. You also had the M2 carbine which you could put a folding stock on and shorten the barrel.

| ::I wouldn't say the Bushmaster Arm really had much to do with the PDW concept: while it was rather like the requirements NATO put together, the Arm came from an earlier project by the Air Force called the Individual Multi-Purpose weapon, aiming to produce an aircrew survival weapon: it was tested, but found to be impractical. You can trace the concept back even further than that, certainly to the M1 Carbine and arguably right to the select-fire C96s, which were made according to approximately the same logic (hell, if you really want to push it you could argue the blunderbuss was the first such weapon as the ancestor of the coach gun). The real kickers for the PDW concept were:
| |
| ::* The Soviets, in the AKS-74U, had created a small, effective compact weapon for vehicle crews, making them much more able to defend themselves than their NATO companions. This was far more important to the PDW concept than the unsuccessful Arm, because the AKS-74U was proof the idea ''worked''.
| |
| ::* NATO felt that logistical disruption would be a big part of future combat, and poorly-trained rear-echelon troops might find themselves ambushed at close range by soldiers wearing modern body armour. Arming them with a compact, easy to use "lead hose" kind of weapon which could defeat armour and wouldn't get in the way the rest of the time was seen as better than having them plink away at their opponents with sidearms.
| |
| ::* Further, this was 1989, and the Soviet Union was in its death throes. Soviet military-grade body armour was starting to turn up on the black market, and so ''any'' potential enemy might be equipped with it. One or the requirements was for the PDW round to be able to defeat the NATO CRISAT vest at ranges of up to 200 metres.
| |
| ::* Subguns, for a long time the red-headed stepchild of military weapons (though of as gangster guns or those crappy cheap things you make because there's a war on, to the point the M3 Grease Gun was still lurking around because nobody could be bothered to replace it), had jumped back to the fore because the British SAS had operated the hell out of a bunch of terrorists with MP5s during the Iranian Embassy Siege in 1980.
| |
| ::* The 9x19mm Para round was thought of as obsolete, and NATO wanted a "modern" standard pistol round. OPDW also required a pistol to be developed in the new calibre (hence the Heckler & Koch UCP and the Five-seveN).
| |
| ::In the end the death of the PDW was the very logistical disruption it was supposed to deal with: the adoption of the M4 carbine and similar small assault rifles by other NATO militaries already made the need for a PDW questionable, and during the War On Terror there were a lot of attacks against supply trucks, but rather than purchase an expensive new weapon, NATO militaries just had drivers certify with their carbines more often, and that was that, no need for a lead hose. Well, that and Germany refusing to accept that the Belgian 5.7mm round had beaten their 4.6mm and killing the whole program to replace the 9x19mm.

| Ah okay thanks for this, interesting points on just how potent pistol cartrides can be. I think the main reason I went with the armpistol was how light and easily maneuvurable it appears to be, Most vampires can move really fast making weapons like the shotgun and short SMG's more useful than full size heavy Assault Rifles. In the AR-10's case though it appears really light which is a bit of an issue since there's barely any recoil dampening as a result. So I wonder what a .280 short bullpup would be like.

| Why? How can I solve? It means that the server limit is reached?--[[User:Dannyguns|Dannyguns]] ([[User talk:Dannyguns|talk]]) 09:28, 18 October 2017 (EDT)

| :I cannot say what it the reason of this error but the remedy is simple: rename the file you want to upload. Adding a single letter or number would be enough. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 09:36, 18 October 2017 (EDT)

| Hey everypeoples. If anyone is interested, I have Discord server with a few different channels for different topics; one of those being guns. It's a little redundant since we have the forum, but stop by if you like.https://discord.gg/5sZmyu. --[[User:H3nry8adger1982|H3nry8adger1982]] ([[User talk:H3nry8adger1982|talk]]) 14:45, 18 October 2017 (EDT)H3nry8adger1982

| == A strange AR-15 stock ==
| |
| | |
| I came across a strange looking stock for AR-15 (Colt Model 653, I suppose) in 1994 movie ''[[Direct Hit]]'':
| |
| [[File:Direct Hit-M16Carbine-4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|AR-15 Carbine with strange stock.]]
| |
| It looks different from any that can be found in out [[Colt_AR-15_Identification_Guide#Stocks|AR-15 Guide]]. Is it some rare model or just a custom work? [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 03:50, 19 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :Pretty sure that it isn't a real Colt stock, to me it looks like an overly chunky mock up of the aluminium 2nd gen collapsible stock. Don't know why it would be oversized though, I wonder if it is soemthing like this is a gas firing gun and there is a little tank in the stock or something. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 07:05, 19 October 2017 (EDT)

| ::Thanks! In the scene all gunners hold their M16 so that the muzzles are off screen, so there is no way to say if there are muzzle flashes. The spent brass isn't seen, so maybe these guns doesn't fire. So hardly there was a need for using a propane powered replica. But maybe it was made for some other film and reused in ''Direct Hit''. The film armorer Micha Hamilton also worked for several other movies that we have here: ''[[Zero Tolerance (1994)|Zero Tolerance]]'', ''[[Cyber Tracker]]'', and one more movie, ''Guardian Angel'' is in my to-do list. But no M16s appear in these movies so there is no chance to compare them. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 15:05, 19 October 2017 (EDT)

| : You literally wish to remove your account after one day? Just saying - perhaps at the risk of being foolishly optimistic - there's absolutely no possibility whatsoever you'll want to contribute to other pages anytime into the future? If so fine but frankly I don't see the need to remove your account from the site - In fact I'd say it must remain as part of the contribution history for what you have contributed to. EDIT: If this is regards to perceived attacks, just know that's not the deal - You're simply being reminded to follow the minimal standards for editing a page. In any case, you don't want to use your account, well, don't - Deletion is hardly necessary. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 02:36, 28 October 2017 (EDT)

| ::I'll block an account if it's requested, no point making people jump though hoops for that, but I will give the guy a chance to settle down and see if he still feels that way later. A slightly rough landing is no reason to leave, I've become moderator or admin of at least three sites where I started out by getting into fights with the regulars :P [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 02:50, 28 October 2017 (EDT)

| == Please help to identify a pistol ==
| |
| | |
| I'm really ashamed as I cannot identify this pistol (Soviet 1972 movie ''Semnadtsatyy transatlanticheskiy'', the story of PQ-17 Arctic convoy). [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 14:35, 30 October 2017 (EDT)

| |
| :Maybe [[Walther PPK]] or [[Walther PPK/S]]?
| |
| ::PPK was my first idea but this pistol seems to be larger, and the muzzle looks different. Or not? [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 15:21, 30 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| :::It's hard to say, maybe, just for me (I'm more good with ID of ancient firearms). Can be this pistol seen from other angles? [[User:Pyramid Silent|Pyramid Silent]] ([[User talk:Pyramid Silent|talk]]) 18:01, 30 October 2017 (EDT)
| |
| ::::I think that this is a PPK, but it looks a bit odd at the front because it is an [[Media:PPKNazi1.jpg|early model]] which had a different shape to what we [[Media:Ppk 1960s.jpg |normally think of]]. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:07, 30 October 2017 (EDT)

| == Category Suggestions ==
| |
| | |
| Maybe we could create categories sort out Category:War based on which conflict the film takes place. For example: Saving Private Ryan and Call of Duty: World at War would fall into Category:World War II. If a piece of media takes place in a purely fictional conflict such Battlefield Bad Company or Battlestar Galactica, they would fall into Category:Fictional War (the category name is just a placeholder). Do you think this is a good idea?

| : First, be sure to sign your comments/posts by clicking the signature icon or using the four tildes like so <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. As to your query, I don't see the need, honestly. The existing war category works fine enough, to go from that all-inclusive label to meticulously define what conflict a piece of media takes place in/around just means extra work that really doesn't have anything to do with the main point of the site - That being identifying firearms in films/shows/games/etc. I'm pretty sure more recently we've been trying to avoid further adding extraneous categories and labels, and this is rather counter-intuitive to that. This before we get into intricate issues such as specifying a particular name for a certain war, as many have different names for the same conflict depending on what region of the world you're in, and trying to find a place for films that are considered war films but aren't in anything that could strictly technically be called a 'war' - IE: ''[[Black Hawk Down]]'' being the story of a real-life but specific operation connected to another operation, but no actual 'war' being declared. All-told, this sounds to be another case of considerable extra work and complexity - as well as potential headache - for minimal gain on the site.
