| Thanks for the screencaps. Just a reminder. Be sure to identify who is on screen and what they are doing in the shot. Also identify which actors used which guns. That is really important information for the individual actor's pages. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

| Hey, Ben,

Instead, the Colt Rail Gun link links to Colt XSE, and Colt XSE links to itself, and none of them directs to the actual page with the Colt Rail Gun. What is going on with the redirect here? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 02:42, 13 February 2019 (EST) |

| Great work on all the screencaps and contributions you've so far, but I must insist that you try to follow format:
| | == P2000 == |
| | I undid the edits on [[Girl in the Spider's Web, The]], as it is definetly not USP, no safety, which is distinct feature of USP. It is P2000 with a customized rail, it seems |
|
| |
|
| *(1.) Always include gun pictures along with the screencaps from the movie.
| | == login issues == |
| *(2.) Always make sure you link to the gun pages.
| |
|
| |
|
| If you want to save time, you can just go to a page for another movie in which the same gun appears, and copy and paste the code from that page to save time. If I'm doing a page for a movie that has a SIG-Sauer P226, for example, I will just go to a page that has the same gun (like ''[[Air Force One]]''), copy the entry, and then change the code as needed. It's a good habit to get into, and it's important for this site's completeness and cohesion.

I see you have dumped the archived data on Season 5 and 6, but currently, I keep that stuff in discussion. [[Talk:MacGyver (1985) - Season 2|I have some stuff already at Season 2's discussion page.]] But if you have yearning to do all the other seasons, I won't stop you.

| ==.PNG Images==
| |
| | |
| I have always used .PNGs in lieu of .Jpegs because, while they are bigger, they are of superior quality, especially when it comes to thumbnails. Therefore, identifying guns is easier as the images are clearer. Since the rules, standards and principles insists on space conserving .jpeg images, the Carlito's way page will probably be the last one I do using .PNGs. I decided this yesterday before you sent me this and just didn't think it was worth announcing, and the only reason the Carlito's Way images are .PNGs is because I was halfway done with doing them all when I picked up my work yesterday. Needless to say I'll conform to the rules this time, so long as the quality of the screencaps doesn't suffer too much. --[[User:Yournamehere|Yournamehere]] 22:50, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

| ==The Problem with the Pirates pages==
| |
| Thanks for asking ahead of time :) But I hate those pages. There is little we can identify other than 'flintlock pistol, 'flintlock musket', 'flintlock blunderbuss', etc. It's crap. We can offer no other information other than what is completely obvious to the audience. Gee. Jack Sparrow uses a flintlock pistol. So what? They didn't need US to tell them that. And if we cannot identify what make, model of pistol (which is hard since so many are custom), then it is a complete waste of IMFDB server space to have the page. I'm going to go on a deletion spree for all the lame pages with no screencaps on them. It's a part of the rules and standards, that bad pages are NOT better than no pages at all. Lame pages, especially lots of them, makes us look bad. Good thing you're trying to fix a bunch of the bad existing pages. I wish more members did that rather than create endless NEW pages that are lame. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:45, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

| The rifle you see in this picture is the exact same one that was used in ''[[The Interpreter]]''. I got the picture from the web site of Weapons Specialists, Ltd. in New York, which is the company that supplied the weapons to the production. So it's a safe bet that this exact gun is the one from the movie. You can see it's the same configuration and everything. This same gun was also used in ''[[Lord of War]]'' (another movie for which Weapons Specialists supplied guns).

| Also, the AK rifle in the movie is an AK-47, not an AKM (and most likely, it's a converted Poly Tech Legend). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Personally I would love to own a double rifle - even a German double. But the German rifles start at $10,000 and go up to $20,000. The British doubles start at approximately $70,000 and go as high as $250,000. *Sigh*

| Also, the H&K automatic weapon used by Hatcher is not an HK53 (in fact, it's not even a .223-caliber weapon, if you look at the magazine). It is called the "HK51K", and it's a custom G3 conversion done by Bill Fleming, a Class III manufacturer.

If you look closely at the screencap you will notice no adjustable sights. The revolver appears to have fixed or duty sights which would make it the Model 10.

| Hey, Ben41! :) You're an awesome screencapper and page fixer, but, please, don't create multiple new pages with no screen caps. At least have some of the graphics ready to roll BEFORE the page is rolled out. Creating new pages with no screenshots or graphics inspires other (less capable page makers) to create scads of new empty pages with only gun listings. Thanks.

| I love your HD screencaps. And I know that you have the discipline to put in an appropriate number of screencaps. Heck you can replace even the ones I put in. LOL. It's all about the quality of the pics and the page. I'm just trying to get rid of the full screen caps which I dislike. Anyway, I know you're busy so I started working on the page - it being one of the most VIEWED pages on IMFDB. Did you notice I added more SCREEN USED hero guns to the page? ;) I can probably get more in the future when I have time. I just have to check with Mike Papac as to what guns were used on the production (but that takes time and checking records, etc.).

| Your screencaps look awesome. A little favor though. We're trying to keep the screencaps from between 7-10 per section. I was going to cull the XM16 page, but since you did an awesome job of replacing the full screen shots, I was hoping you would do the honors. A big criticism of the page when it was done earlier was the overuse of screenshots (the XM16 page had 33 screencaps at one point). Thanks again for your great work on the page.

| Hey, Ben, good work on ''[[Virtuosity]]'', but I have a question. Do you have screenshots of the following characters/weapons from the movie:
| |
| | |
| * Denzel Washington gets an H&K USP from a transport guard and uses it later in the movie.
| |
| | |
| * A bunch of the police officers in the movie also use the Beretta 92F, especially at the club.
| |
| | |
| * One of the terrorists in the flashback sequence is armed with an M16-type rifle, I think an M16A1 with A2-style hand guards (can't tell).
| |
| | |
| If you don't mind grabbing these screencaps, I'd appreciate it. It would complete the page. Gracias. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:22, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

| ==Some Last of the Mohicans guns==
| |
| Hey there. Glad to see how much work you've done on the page. :) I had some pics of some of the background muskets (used by civilians and indians) that were 'rescued' from the production by one of the gunsmiths I knew who worked on the picture. As you know, the vast majority of the guns were destroyed during the filming (the stuntmen pretty much used their muskets as clubs in most of the fight scenes) and over 400 Brown Bess muskets were destroyed. I have a pic of two background guns. Is there any screenshot which may have these in them? I know they were for background people. One is a modern repro of a common commercial flintlock firearm of the time period, the other is known as a trade gun, i.e. a lesser quality flintlock that had less parts and craftsmanship, developed specifically for trade with the Indians (i.e. they let the 'locals' get the more cheaply made muskets). Anyway, just wondering if you thought we should add this to your excellent page.

| ::Actually those were real firing muskets (modern replicas) of civilian muskets, so they were issued to the Colonists volunteers to represent 'private purchase' weapons of the civilians. The Trade muskets were issued to allied Indians to the British Army as they were the 18th century equivalent of 'lend lease' to friendly Indian tribes. They were indeed fired. All non-firing guns were rubber. The reason why so many guns were destroyed was that after 2 weeks of filming a lot of the actors and stuntmen and background extras were really banging on each other with the guns as clubs during the many days of 'hand to hand fighting' filming. I suspect the filmmakers expected this since the production '''purchased''' the muskets, they didn't rent the majority of them, except for select hero guns. Thanks. So the info on the movie page isn't quite right. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:05, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

| ==The film page template== | | == S.W.A.T Season 6 Episode 1 & 2 == |
| I noticed that you changed the template for [[The American]]. That template has an interesting history. I've never used it because I was one of the early ones who didn't like that formatting change. Some users created a template that had the poster line BELOW the summary line amongst other slight changes. There was no consensus. I think just one person came up with it and used it. But I always did it the way that Bunni did it. The majority of the site was Bunni's way. But ever since one of the Mods made their own 'user's template' people have started changing pages to conform with it, which I never agreed with. Just letting you know, as a mod, I've always been changing them back to the original style from when the site first began. I still think the poster should be aligned top most and to the upper rightmost corner of the page to start with, which means the poster image line should be first on the page, just because that's the way 90% of the site was when it first started and I thought it looked best. Just thought I'd give you some of the interesting background history, (and why most of the pages which I work on are changed to that way, moreso if I did all the work on the page, which I did NOT on [[The American]] which is someone else's page. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 05:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

When that gets finished we'll be able to do an accurate count on the total number of different guns used. You can go ahead do a count on 24 if you want and see where it's at. Also don't just add the number of guns per season together. A Beretta 92FS counts once not eight times. If we did that 24 would be at 234 and Miami Vice would be at 195 currently with a season and a half to go.

| == New RoboCop pics ==
| |
| | |
| Well, I'm a good bit late here, but I want to congratulate you personally on putting on the upgraded caps for RoboCop, especially the newest Blu-Ray caps. It's my all time favorite film and it looks bitchin' in Blu-Ray from the pics I've seen (on here and elsewhere). Anyway, it looks great - Excellent job on it, as well as the others you've done, man. Glad to have every gun on there now. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 00:07, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :: - Rather than make a new section, I'll just post here. I've seen RoboCop again recently and since you have gotten images for it before, I'd like to ask if you could help add a bit more to the page. I've been having problems getting screencaps off DVDs lately, hence why I'm asking you, plus you have Blu-Ray. Anyway, it turns out that not every single gun is on the page; one of the 'new' images I'd like to try and grab is the where Lewis and Murphy pull up to the Steel Mill following the van chase - there's a rack in the car with a Colt Commando/CAR-15-style rifle on it. It's not really a good shot of the gun but should be included (I'll be adding the section in a minute). Another one is right after that in the mill, when Murphy confronts Emil and the other crook. Right before he says his 'Dead or Alive..' line, he shoots the other crook who grabs his 870 shotgun. I'd like to get a couple shots of him when he gets shot by Murphy, as there's a blooper where the gun changes from a standard 870 Police Folder (which he picks up) to one with an extended mag tube when he gets shot. Again a minor thing but I would like to make a note of it. Anyway, that's pretty much it, I can understand if you're busy and all so take your time and let me if you're able to do them or whatever, I'd appreciate it and I think the page would benefit that much more. Thanks for your time. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 20:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

| Well, I sorta knew this was comin'. The source where I got those screencaps for the movie is this: http://www.discshop.fi/shop/ds_produkt.php?lang=&id=75676&lang=fi&subsite=bluray&&ref= <-- That is a website in finland, which concentrates on films, games, music, etc. I ordered the BLU-Ray about 1½ weeks ago, and it was released on October 29th in Finland. I assure you, it is '''NOT''' a bootleg of any kind. But I see your point, and if removing those caps (for now) is for the greater good, I have no objection. We wouldn't wanna face legal consequences. But hey, can you at least save the screencaps? I mean just delete them from the A-Team page, not the whole site? 'Cos I spend almost '''4 hours''' taking and uploading those screencaps. That way, I could put them on the site on the 11th (or was it 14th) day, when the DVD is supposed to come out.

| ==Spitting up TV pages==
| |
| Even Vice which has a large amount of different guns used, has quite a bit of overlap of the same ones used each seasons. I would say about 30 to 40%. Also I did a quick look at the weapons list on [[The Unit]] it has around 120 guns plus another 10 miscellaneous weapons. [[Mail Call]] has 98 including repeats (it probably only has 60 to 70 actual different guns). So The Unit should actually be listed at number 2. (It was at #1 for while before Mail Call which wasn't done by a true count anyway.) I'm going to look into doing an actual count for Mail Call, 24, Vice and compare them to the other large TV pages that aren't split. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 20:46, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

| == Screencaptures and watermarks ==
| |

| This is weird legal/etiquette territory. Since no one (outside of the movie studios) who posts screen captures from DVDs on the internet owns the content in any way, is the rule about watermarked images merely about the "work" of capturing a screen-shot? It's my understanding that review sites are "allowed" by the studios to post captures because reviews help the studios with sales, not because review sites have a legal right to do so. -- Blokhed 2/14/11

| |
| Hi Ben, I couldn't answer you before as for some reason all the 'edit' functions vanished off my screen.
| |
| | |
| I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge or tools to do screencaps to do films at this time. I thought a small page on the weapon would be good as a)someone may wish to do 'Son of Paleface' or other films with that ususual weapon in and b)Once people see and can identify the weapon they may do pages on other films they've seen it in.
| |
| | |
| I've learned a tremendous amount from this site as I really can't identify most weapons, fashions, songs, automobiles, hairstyles after 1975. (i.e. I can watch a film and if it's well done identify what part of which decade the film is meant to depict; from 1975 on it's all one big blur). As I'm still learning about your site it I've noticed you can not have 100% of things, for example the Single Action Army Revolver or Winchester 1873 or 1894 (I haven't yet learned to diffrentiate between the two) would have literally hundreds if not thousands of films with the those weapons. I thought some unusual weapon that to my knowledge is fairly rare in film would fit in and perhaps encourage the others to do pieces of the film or actor (I guess Roy Rogers would have a page with the same three weapons I mentioned) for the edification of your fan base.

| ==Um, why are you deleting redirects?==
| |
| Sure some are lame, but most are what people would type into the search function. The nomenclature of putting "The" first is standard when typing in a title name for a search. IMFDB puts the "the" last for alphabetizing reasons, but the redirects are there so that when people put in 'likely' search parameters, they'll still end up at the right page.

| == Just to explain what's going on here, since I haven't been approved on the forums yet: ==
| |
| | |
| Burt has apparently decided that he should remove all uses of the term "RPG" to refer to anything but the RPG-X series of weapons made by Russia, since apparently the term is "incorrect" if it's used to mean anything but it's original Russian meaning; this includes removing references to projectiles as RPGs, something the US military (and English-speaking militaries in general) would disagree with him on. Obviously, he's wrong; I've quoted a BAE Systems press release ("[http://defensetech.org/2007/07/18/the-mrap-cage-fight/ The LROD system provides lightweight, low-cost RPG protection that is easily adapted to virtually any armored vehicle]") and the [http://books.google.com/books?id=ygqNt3ra-vYC&pg=PA403&dq=#v=onepage&q&f=false Historical Dictionary of the US Army] both using RPG to mean a general class of weapons, but he's apparently decided that everyone, including professionals who manufacture and operate weaponry, is wrong and he's right on what the proper term is. Saying "Type 69 RPG" is about as incorrect as saying "M4 carbine" in a caption; it might not be needed, but that's no reason to delete it for being ''wrong''. Then again, given the pages this guy hangs around and the general attitude it looks like he's good old PersonOfInterest. Isn't he banned? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 04:57, 14 April 2011 (CDT)

| | |
| ::I've already explained how saying "Type 69 RPG" is not the same as saying "M4 carbine". If Evil Tim just wants to disregard any and all points I make, then I'll just have to go over his head. Yes, I'll wait for official moderator/admin approval. MT2008 is already leaning towards my position. It should be noted that I have multiple points and arguments supporting my position, and all Evil Tim has to say is "well everyone's doing it so it must be ok." He doesn't actually refute any of my arguments. And no I'm not PersonOfInterest. --[[User:BurtReynoldsMoustache|BurtReynoldsMoustache]] 17:46, 14 April 2011 (CDT)

So it's actually that ESU guys do any of the roles as the situation demands? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 03:17, 17 April 2011 (CDT)

| ::Thanks Ben41! :) Wow. I don't even REMEMBER that forum thread! I was at Fremont when they filmed the Cyberdyne sequences of T2. I know that Arnold fired 30,000 of 7.62 rounds all by himself with that Minigun. :) But in that very thread you linked to, didn't Steve K. point out that We Were Soldiers fired at least Half a million rounds that he knows of? That would Knock Starship Troopers off the top. It's funny. I was there for a week during some of the location shooting (well that's where nearly all of the firing took place) and I recall that most of the actors had dummy guns. I think I only counted about 12 guys who were rocking and rolling at any one time but that was just a mental note I made during the damned heat wave! I still have some stuff from the film including the Morita but it's all messed up. I still haven't fixed it up enough to photograph it for IMFDB :( Also back to Steve's comment, the only reason why that 'stat' mentioned by others sounded strange was that I was sure that there are quite a few full blown WAR movies that would easily come close to that number. :) Thanks again for the reply :) As for background stories on movie sets, I sure wish I could write out some of the stuff I see! hahahahaha, but then I don't want to get into trouble! :) Remember, on the internet, it's forever! :D best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 18:04, 29 May 2011 (CDT)
