This is one of those hard series since pictures are hard to find and I'm not a master of screenshots.


I like to keep the format I've set for the photos of M4s and MP5Ks the way it is because there were a lot of photos and I think the current format for those are appealing.
==Probably Hard Shots to find==
I only saw the first episode of this show and if memory serves me right, one guy went quail hunting with a pump shotgun (870 I believe) and then was held up by a man with a Mini-14 which I think had a 30 or 40 round magazine. Since the first episode isn't easy to find on the computer, I'm assuming this shot would be difficult to come by unless someone owns the first season on DVD. -GM
::That wasn't the first episode. It was another episode of the first season. I do remember that scene and will find shots of that eventually.
:Saw another episode one day were everyone was holed up in this house and one guy outside was shooting at BGs with a Browning M2 mocked up as a DShK. Sorry I can't help further but I don't watch it enough to describe further. Lot of good shots of M4A1s too. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
== Size of pics ==
I am not sure of the so called "format" of this site but I like the format of the M4 and MP5K section and how it's arranged and want to keep it that way. Also some pics are larger than others. The reason is that if they are smaller than 600 then they would look distorted. This didn't really happen in the old server. but for here I had to make them larger to they won't look so you can't seen any pixal on them. The larger size gives the photos smoother looks.
== Not a mk 12 ==
If someone has a better name to call it, then correct it. Saying it isn't something else isn't helping in identifying what the sniper rifle is.
== Eat your Hard Boiled out ==
The Unit section now beats even Hard Boiled with over 60+ guns counted
:Nice work, now I can only say that Hard Boiled is the largest movie page. To be fair though, a T.V. show can grow, a movie stays still but anyway, great work.
::Yeah, nice job. I honestly have to admit that I don't have the patience to do TV show pages just cause they tend to feature lots of guns over the course of several seasons (especially a weapons-heavy military show like ''[[The Unit]]''). Plus, I rarely buy entire seasons of TV shows.
:::Well It was hard to track down the previous season since links to them have poor connection. I had considered renting the DVDs. Either way, this show has an impressive array of firearms and it isn't stopping in what the Unit shoots next.
== Rearrange of Garand, Winchester, and SKS ==
Recently the SKS, M1 Garand and the Winchester 1886 was moved to "other weapons" because they don't fit either section of Assault rifle nor sniper rifle. Hence they would be placed in the same section as the musket rifle would be since they are dated weapons.
== That´s a L1A1 SLR ==
[[Image:UnitFAL5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
judging by the handguards and the front sight,that´s a L1A1.
:It's still a FAL
== Two nit picks... ==
The derringer that Jonas carries in while wearing the tux looks like a High Standard Derringer.  These were double action, tip down, .22 magnum as opposed to the single action, tip up, .41 rimfire of the original Remington design.

Also, the lever action noted as a Winchester 1886 looks more like a Marlin 336.  The 1886's bolt occupied most of the center of the upper reciever, while the Marlin has a round bolt with the ejection port on the right side of the reciever.  In the pic, you can see the silver, circular section right in front of the hammer, which is the bolt.

Great site, thanks for all the trouble!

==SU-16==
The keltec su-16 page says one was used in the show and i dont see it here. Anyone know where it was used? -K9870
:I don't see an SU-16. Anyone know which episode this supposively have appeared in? [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 19:33, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
==R.I.P.==
Just read over on Imdb that [[The Unit]] has been canceled by CBS. Bummer. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 00:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
:From what I can see, the cancellation hasn't been decided on yet. But piss on CBS if they do. The Unit is the only show I look forward to every week. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC) Spartan198
== Need help ID'ing AR-15 Variant. ==
As seen here: [[http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/The_Unit#Unknown_AR-15.2FM4_Variant]]. I'm pretty sure it's not a HK416, M4, or CQBR. If I had to guess I'd say it's a Model 933, but I'm no expert on AR-15s. Any help would be much appreciated.
[[Image:UnitAR4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]
:Looks like a 933 or equivalent to me. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]]
I guess it is. Time for another update. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:58, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
==Optics w/ BUIS an anachronism?==
How is having BUISs on an optic-equipped weapon an anachronism when military and police commonly use said combo? Hell, even the Barrett 82 has BUISs. No offense to whoever made that statement, but it's gotta be one of the most ridiculous ones I've ever read. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]]
:Wait, where is this said on the page? [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 02:59, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
::Originally at the top of the Colt 933 section, but it's not there anymore. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]]
==Breaking up pages==
This page is getting too big to add any more items. I would like to break it up into different pages, creating new pages by weapons like the page is now and linking them to the original page.  Has anyone else already started this? [[User: Ben41|Ben41]]
:No offense, but screw that. Why break up a page just because it has too many guns? I mean have you seen Miami Vice? Mail Call? Hard boil? Those are pretty big pages too. I don't need to break up my page so that it is easier on your eyes. It's a waste of space and all it that pistol page has done was just waste space on the server. And what do you mean "too big to add anymore items?" There's no limit on how many guns you can put on a page as long as it has been shown on the show. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 19:35, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
::However, Miami Vice was broken up into seasons because it took too long for the page to load or it crashed completely.  The Unit doesn't have that problem, so I don't see a need to break it up.  I do disagree about "there being no limit to adding to a page".  the Miami Vice tv show is a prime example of a page getting so big it becomes unviewable to 99% of the potential users (unless someone has lightning fast internet connection and large RAM, which most people don't have.  But I have no problems loading the Unit page, so I was mystified by the breakup.

== Small size caps? ==
Who turned all my caps from my standard 500x to this small size? It's ungodly small for a page like this. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 19:38, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
::I think the user thought that shrinking the thumbnails would speed up the loading time.  It doesn't.  The page still has to re-size whatever the size of the original image is.  Also IMFDB's standard is 500px or 600px (for ultra widescreen or high resolution shots).  Again we still need a rules page, to tell the new users what the page standards are.
