:::I've been wondering the same thing. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] ([[User talk:Jcordell|talk]]) 21:01, 5 April 2020 (EDT)
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.

==Smiling Friends page?==
The western animation series Smiling Friends has quite a few realistically-drawn firearms which I documented on my sandbox [[User:Dnkakusei/Sandbox#Smiling_Friends_.5B2022-ongoing.2C_USA.5D|here]]. I would just like to know if the show qualifies for a page on this site. --[[User:Dnkakusei|Dnkakusei]] ([[User talk:Dnkakusei|talk]]) 13:47, 6 February 2023 (UTC)


Well, does anyone dare to identify this? As I understand it, almost all of this is target guns (probably as the only available source of a large number of western handguns). --[[User:Slon95|Slon95]] ([[User talk:Slon95|talk]]) 15:30, 1 January 2020 (EST)

:: On that first screencap.. I agree on the Blackhawk ID. The center two revolvers are stainless S&Ws. That said, I believe the center one is a smaller K-frame gun - likely a long-barrel (8 3/8") [[Smith & Wesson Model 66|Model 66]], while the one next to it is a larger N-frame - likely a Model 629. Next to it looks like a Model 29 with 8 3/8 barrel. Can't quite make out the revolvers at the top or the far left. <BR> The second screencap, only one I can make out is the stainless one, which looks to be a full-lug [[Smith & Wesson Model 686]] (though it looks to be lacking both sights for some reason.. I suppose it ''could'' be the fixed-sight [[Smith & Wesson Model 681|Model 681]]). <BR> Fourth screencap the one laying on the counter on the right is a S&W Model 586. Fifth screencap shows a couple of 3rd Gen S&W automatics.

==Rules on video game emulation?==
Just want to holler at the mod/s just in case. [[User:Ominae|Ominae]] ([[User talk:Ominae|talk]]) 07:56, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
I was wondering if there are any rules against screencaps from emulators like Dolphin or PCSX2, as I can't find anywhere on the site that addresses this.

== Mysterious Revolver ==
== Blue Muzzle Flashes ==


This is very similar to the 1st gen [[Colt ds|Colt DS]], but has a high rear sight, and a cylinder swing-out to the right side  (although this is - perhaps - a consequence of the mirroring of the scene). Does anyone have any idea what this might be? --[[User:Slon95|Slon95]] ([[User talk:Slon95|talk]]) 11:34, 29 February 2020 (EST)
Something I have noticed with classic action films, mostly within the 80's era, is that a lot of muzzle flashes appear more blue than yellow. Did this have something to do with the type of blanks/props that were being used back then, or was this just a result of 1980's cinematography? --[[User:Theakker3|Theakker3]] ([[User talk:Theakker3|talk]]) 12:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

I was just wondering if this 'series' qualified for a template? There's a lot missing from IMFDB on it (I've been trying to source good DVD copies of the individual TV parts to get screencaps), and I'm planning to tackle the 1995 movie ''Lupin III: Farewell to Nostradamus'' next, but it looks like there's already five titles here. I think even if it doesn't qualify for a template, a disambiguation would be perfectly alright.
== Monsters vs Aliens? ==


Oh, and also, should we universalize which form of 'Lupin III' we're going with? Currently we have pages with "Lupin III", "Lupin the Third", and "Lupin the 3rd"!
