If you have caps, go for it, man! I don't have the DVD anymore, as I was borrowing it from a friend.-protoAuthor 16:50, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

I used licensed DVD with this film. [[User:Pyramid Silent|Pyramid Silent]] ([[User talk:Pyramid Silent|talk]]) 09:00, 24 January 2016 (EST)
I read your preference for SA/DA pistols over striker fired and DAO guns.  I myself firmly hold this belief and strongly dislike the way most new guns are adopting the striker system, especially in the law enforcement market. Though I have to say I have a far stronger dislike for hammerless revolvers regardless of their superior snag resistance. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

I don't know: will this movie licensed in USA on DVD or not or not. I still not watch this film, so I don't know, contain it firearms or not.

==Reply==
== X-Files Miniseries ==
Thanks for responding to my post. With regards to law enforcement sidearms I think agree that liability probably plays a major role in their weapon selection but personally I still don't think that explains their choices.  A Glock or similar pistol with a light trigger pull and no manual safety is a Plaxico Burress situation waiting to happen. The New York City Police solution, modifying DAO weapons to have 12 lbs triggers, seems like a real dumb idea as that can't be good for accuracy, something I would like to think police have mastered.  The only reason I can think of why Striker guns are good from a liability standpoint is drop safety, but modern hammer guns are just as safe in most real world senerios so I still don't understand the striker craze.


Also, I did screen cap alot of Archer episodes that featured realistic weapons right before I found out that the article already existed and had been deleted.  If you wanted to see how good their quality was so as to make a case for an Archer article being allowed I would be happy to post some of my screencaps.

P.S. The Bersa Thunder 380 is an amazing little gun, though you are right .380 ACP is almost impossible to come by recently. Most stores in my area get 2 or 3 boxes a month which quickly get sold for close to double what they used to cost. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

==Chekhov's Gun==
== Screen Used ==
I noticed you're comment about the .25 Chekhov mentioned in Archer. This is a somewhat esoteric joke about a literary technique known as the Chekhov's Gun, which refers to a seemingly minor object mentioned early in a story turning out to have a major impact on the plot later on. Here's a link that explains more about it. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitlexn9xzsjd5fif?from=Main.ChekhovsGun] Toward the bottom of the page it even specifically mentions the example from Archer. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]


==History==
Hello, '''Funkychinaman'''! I'm so sorry for my mistake - adding wrongly category. Also, I have onr question: my new page cantain a few section with tanks, so, I don't understand: what is the tanks a Challenger and what is Chieftain. [[User:Pyramid Silent|Pyramid Silent]] ([[User talk:Pyramid Silent|talk]]) 11:18, 5 February 2016 (EST)
Of the reality shows, things like ''Pawn Stars'' and ''American Pickers'' make sense as they involve historical artifacts, however, Ax Men, truckers, and that new swamp show don't belong at all. As for Arms and Armor, I've never even heard of that show (probably before my time). What I miss is ''Conquest'', there used to be reruns on History International but they've stopped. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]


I've never heard of that show either. I think 30 min was too short for Conquest as well. More running time would have made the show alot better. Other improvements would have been to use different people each episode (like Fear Factor or Dog Eat Dog) and change some of the final challenges like those in the Pirate and Ninja episodes which were clearly staged and fairly corny. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]
== Tiger Cage ==


The feeling that History has completely abandoned its initial mission statement is very pervasive. TVTropes.com also has several articles that mock the History Channel, though admittedly not in flowchart form. I've always loved Cracked.com, very insightful information presented in their endearing snarky, jackass tone. The worst show imaginable on that list is ''Ancient Aliens'' where people who seriously must functionally retarded try to rewrite history in the most asinine way possible (Noah's ark was a DNA Bank, Gold eating aliens founded Babylon, the moon is a hollow space station monitoring earth, and ancient aliens in bronze age India fought wars with atomic bombs). THIS IS NOT HISTORY. Technically neither is ''[[Top Shot]]'' but as a gun enthusiast I'm willing to look the other way ;). -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

What I found more interesting than the HD WWII documentaries was a mini-series they did several years ago called WWI in color. It was an actual documentary series with each episode exploring a different topic (trench warfare, the birth of Aerial combat, the eastern front, the war at sea) but augmented the historian and veteran (they actually found a dozen WWI vets) interviews with colorized footage from the front lines. Color footage of WWII may be rare but it's unheard of for WWI. Also, the show didn't entirely rest on the color footage but simply used it to supplement a good documentary. As for a show about horsemanship, it sounds interesting if they could encompass things from the entire history of mounted warfare. Have the contestants use javelins, lances, bows, swords, and guns, from horseback, chariot, camel, possibly even elephant. Unfortunately with the way the history channel has been headed it would probably end up less like ''Conquest'' and more like ''[[Deadliest Warrior]]''. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

A little while ago you sent me a link to a cracked.com article about the history channel. I just found another article on Cracked I believe is written by Gunmaster45. I found it very amusing and thought you might enjoy it [http://www.cracked.com/funny-2939-top-10-mall-ninja-guns/]. It lists 10 overrated, impractical guns including a tactical double barrel shotgun. Let me know what you think. -[[User:Anonymous|Anonymous]]

Would like to help re-build the 007 Agent Under Fire page, I have the original Xbox version of the game and can help bring some much higher resolution images and hopefully better descriptionsIt may take me some time to build the page back up as I will have to replay the game all the way through in between my full time job.


== Thing is... ==
== Followup questions for you ==


...We're not compiling an official Navy listing here, we're just using Lt. as a shorthand for "Lieutenant" in the same way "Mr." is a shorthand for "Mister." It doesn't really matter what service the pretend people are part of, and Jessica Biel and Josh Lucas aren't Lieutenants. I might agree if we were talking about ''real'' pilots here, but we're not. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 14:38, 8 July 2011 (CDT)
Hi! Thanks for responding to me! I have a few followup questions: 1) Do you play games much? If so, do you play scifi shooters as well as shooters with realistic guns? Or are you generally drawn to games with more authentic firearms? 2) How much does the increasingly weird weaponry of Call of Duty games harm your enjoyment? Is it like a minor annoyance, or does it make it much harder to get into the game? THANKS!


:Either is correct, but Lt. is better for readability. "Lt." is always short for lieutenant regardless of what else might be; US Navy lieutenants are ''officially listed'' as "LT," but that's just an administrative choice, it doesn't change the entire rest of the English language (any more than Capt. stops being short for "Captain" if you happen to have joined the Army). It's about people understanding what you're using it as a shorthand ''for'', not about using a term that will have the uninitiated wondering what "LT" is an acronym for because there's no full stop after it to say it's an abbreviation. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 14:54, 8 July 2011 (CDT)
== Cuestion regarding one of the movie's title. ==


::I don't know, if you're trying to educate people there's no point being correct if nobody understands you're correct; the first time I saw someone allcaps'ing rank names I just thought he was being a moron (in my defence, he was a moron in a multitude of other ways). The proper abbreviation only helps in differentiating ranks if you already know that's what it is; it's a little like "Hg" is only a useful shorthand for "Mercury" if you already know the periodic table well. It's much easier to tell they're Navy airmen by the fact that there's an aircraft carrier in the movie. Anyway, I'm just going to change it to the full word. To show there's no hard feelings, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMWr3OY0xEM&feature=related skip to 1:30 to see what it looks like when an M167 VADS is actually firing]. I laughed.

Hi, i wanted to create a page about the new movie that came out about heists starring Luis Tosar and i already got the screenshots but i dont know if the title should be in English traducted or original language.. The movie is called "100 Años De Perdón" or 100 Years of Forgiveness.
--[[User:Death Shadow20|Death Shadow20]] ([[User talk:Death Shadow20|talk]]) 15:20, 4 April 2016 (EDT)


:::Well yeah, but we explain which variant is which. What I mean is that it's useless using a ''shorthand'' if it won't help people get it, since the purpose of a shorthand is to say something quickly in a way people can still easily understand. As for a videogame, it's called Ace Combat :D [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 01:11, 9 July 2011 (CDT)
== Commando Black Ops? ==


::::I dunno, I guess it just bugs me because it doesn't look right. And yeah, I'm annoyed at the wait too, much as I was annoyed that AC6 was 360-only. Still, I've got the three PS2 games lurking around while I wait for a next-gen one I can actually play or a HAWX that doesn't suck. What were they ''thinking'' with those point-and-click UAV missions in HAWX 2? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:02, 9 July 2011 (CDT)
Most people saying that is an Colt 933, or an  Colt 733 (M4 Commando). Also some said that "Firstly, as far as I know there is no such thing as a Model 733 with a flat top, that is just a Model 933. What do you think the difference is? The gun in the game isn't a Model 933 or a 733 though, as regardless of the different design of rail, it also has a slickside upper receiver without a FA or BD. The closest match I can come up with would be a GAU-5A/A with a flash hider rather than the moderator (which was actually done) with a fictional/custom upper with a sight rail. --commando552". He said it in the link. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Talk:Call_of_Duty:_Black_Ops#Commando_in_Black_Ops.

==Ranks==
== Need help twice ==
Hey, wow, chill man. I only changed them because (a) the Navy ranks looks stupid on the page (no offense) (b) they are harder to read (c) the Average Joe won't propably understand the rank, and is most propably unwilling to spend 5 seconds on Google to find out about them, and (d) there's no rule or regulation the ranks should be presented in their absolute correct from, since we see the other ones more frequently.... --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 20:24, 12 July 2011 (CDT)

You're welcome. I've been watching the show from the start, and I could make out a lot of guns on the show. Though I'm still trying to ID the revolver that Det. Bolander ([[Ned Beatty]]) carries. - [[User:500Magnum|500Magnum]]
== 13 Hours ==
:You only see Bolander's gun a few times, but I remember him pulling it out and holding it behind his back, though it's hard to make out due to the angle. And there are moments where you get a look at Howard's Colt DS, and it didn't look like a 1st Generation Colt, the grips and the barrel looked more 3rd Generation. I also noticed in the first season that Bayliss had a Beretta (IDed from the grips) and not a Glock at first. - [[User:500Magnum|500Magnum]]

== Regarding Subpages and Independent Releases ==


I've discovered recently that my old [[User:Kloga/Photos|Photos]] subpage I thought was deleted years ago is still intact. Though I never really valued it that much it was a nice surprise to see it after all those years and it also got me thinking on subpages - could I do one about firearms in my own short films?.. Also regarding that - as I'm filming an independent feature film for years and don't know yet what kind of release we would have I wanted to ask whether some feature independent films released on the web (YouTube) could have their own pages? There are quite a lot of films distributed through YouTube nowadays, which also had some limited theatrical run or showings. I'm hoping to do a primary example of such - [[Ashens and the Quest for the Gamechild]] in the near future. While I'm sure about the latter one (it has more or less studio-grade production and a lot of famous names attached), I felt the need to ask about those movies which were made independently on little to no budget. Considering that IMFDB covered examples like [[Razor Blade Smile]], I think it will be just to cover some independent films of digital age, as well. --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 17:46, 26 June 2016 (EDT)
:Okay, thanks, I'll consult about web releases individually. Also, I remember there was a page for 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, was it deleted? I'm planning to do pages for 1987 animated series (as Japanese company was heavily involved in the creation of the first season, it had a animesque realistic approach to firearms which was surprisingly more or less carried through the series) and 1988 RoboCop animated series, both being, in my opinion, some of the finest representations of firearms in western animation. --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 19:17, 26 June 2016 (EDT)
::A norm for the 1980's which stuck through the 90's and to this day was to draw firearms as some kind of lasers. That doesn't stop creators of RoboCop series to draw his signature Auto-9, as well as some other firearms such as [[Heckler & Koch P9S]] virtually the same as in real life. TMNT series as well smuggled some firearms, especially in the first season, even with fired rounds and good sound effects.

== RE: AIM photo ==
Just wanted to ask to wait at least a few minutes before editing article I created if work is obviously in progress - I'm a bit slow, yes, but you've changed one word in the article three minutes later and I've lost a fully stable variant of the article with four photographs and fixed stats as a result.

::Thanks for answering. I have another question, it's off-topic, but since I've started the discussion, I'll probably ask here - as LAPD 2019 Blaster from [[Blade Runner]] doesn't have it's own page as a fictional firearm can I do one? It doesn't have its own page despite appearing in one movie, four videogames (three of which are already covered here and one I plan to cover as well) and re-produced numerous times as a replica. Also there are tons of unused information about it on discussion page that will look just fine, if separate page on the gun will be created. --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 22:50, 13 July 2016 (EDT)

== Steyr Mannlicher Model SL ==
Regarding [[Steyr Mannlicher Model SL]] - in fact it is more of a full working gun modified beyond belief. [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|Blaster]] is basically a sawn-off rifle fitted with lots of additional details and, more importantly, instantly recognizable shape and fully intact Steyr markings. I haven't added Blaster as an appearance of [[Charter Arms Bulldog]], though, because this indeed, was only a part. --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 10:05, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
:The fact that a few non-substantial details were taken from [[Charter Arms Bulldog]] is a recent discovery and they are barely seen in the construction. I will not argue further but at least don't delete Model SL from [[Steyr Mannlicher]] page - if someone will stumble upon this in the movie, it will be useful for identification. --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 10:49, 14 July 2016 (EDT)

How do take/upload screenshots?
What do you think about [[User:Kloga/Sandbox#List of non-eligible titles|this]]? A little bit clumsy and bulky but otherwise may have a good potential. The website is growing larger and larger (20,000 articles+) and such a simple thing can not only be useful for readers (to consult), newcomers (to check) and distinguished users like me (who just can't put information like that anywhere else), but also, potentially, have much more order on Talk and Disambiguation pages. Putting re-directs for sub-sections for further ease of checking and voilà: a lot of preserved time and, more importantly, nerves. --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 20:24, 15 July 2016 (EDT)
:I believe in that idea, so I will still consult further after a few improvements. Eligibility requirements have their issues to be fair. I'm not in position to judge and I'm not doing that, but it took me a while to understand why exactly ''Sherlock Holmes Baffled'' was deleted while ''[[Great Train Robbery, The (1903)|The Great Train Robbery]]'' has a page (and to be fair, the latter is still a short film, though is a notable exception). Another example is [[6th Day, The|The 6th Day]] which only has one firearm and it is a fictional one (it has a direct fire role, though). Keep in mind, I was puzzled by both of these recently and I'm on this website since 2010 and I re-read guidelines and rules occasionally, just in case. Also sometimes I don't remember were there any firearms in the movie or not, so it takes an additional (nearly full!) re-watch like I did for [[The Caller (1987)]] and [[Andrei Rublev]] (which was absentee from [[Andrei Tarkovsky]]'s movies so I've decided to check as he tends to have at least one firearm per film). A page like this, if casually updated by numerous users, can save a lot of time for other users as well - have doubts, check the list (no firearms - problem solved). P.S. [[User:Kloga/Sandbox#Examples of Non-Eligible Titles|A few examples of titles which were considered non-eligible for whatever reasons on my memory.]] I'm sure each IMFDB user has at least a few deleted/moved/aborted articles of that kind and, as I'm still sad about each of the deleted article I've seen through years. --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 21:37, 15 July 2016 (EDT)

I did a disambiguation page for [[M*A*S*H]] and I'll probably do one for [[Treasure Island]] as well - we have at least two adaptations.

It turns out I ''was'' using the right one, but when you enter a password for a new account it's logged all in lowercase, even though the enter password screen is case-sensitive. So, you're fumbling around trying to remember where the shift characters were when they're all gone from the actual password. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 18:30, 18 October 2011 (CDT)

== A Few Style Guide Questions ==


== Netherlands ==
Thanks for correcting. I'm not insisting on adding brackets to an actor's name on his or her actor page - as you may have noticed, I do that only for image descriptions as it's the quicker way to have name in bold on such a page and I just thought that in bold it looks nicer. As for the redirects - I haven't found anything on doing that for actor pages - do you mean re-directs in general? I've discovered how to do them rather recently and  usually go for a slightly idiosyncratic way - I firstly name the page with a re-direct title and then correct it to the normal one. Is it okay?
I suppose because British and French is a general term the Netherlands. But we don't call the British movies English. I know that Holland is one of the provinces in The Netherlands and Dutch is the language, but for reasons that i can't really explain i preferred to use the name of their country. Even though dutch would work. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 19:11, 16 November 2011 (CST)


== Re: Approval of a new page. ==
Also I've noticed that [[Style Guide]] says "Actors need to be in control of a particular weapon to receive an entry. This would exclude actors grappling for a weapon, or holding up a weapon in a plastic bag." The rule is probably about a common scene seen in procedurals with policemen and/or forensics holding a gun in a plastic bag, so exceptions like actually handling the gun in a bag are allowed ([[Mr. Brooks]] comes to mind) but I still wonder if [[Mikhail Krug]]'s page is okay considering that rule. Despite a plastic bag he is clearly holding a PM himself (as he orders the murder) and, as it's his only screen appearance of that type, I hope it can stay.  --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 22:54, 20 July 2016 (EDT)

Hi Funkychinaman,

I am also a Taiwanese, currently studying in Singapore. There is a Taiwanese drama, TV series, called Rookies Diary 新兵日記. I am not sure if you know about it but it is filmed by Formosa TV, on aired from 2010 July 2nd to 2010 September 16. There are two seasons in this series. First part is about teenage boys serving their national services and underwent military training and second part is about joining the Special Forces. called 新兵日記之特戰英雄. I am not sure if I am able to publish it since it did not fulfill the imfdb Rules as it is not recorded in IMDB. Please help me have a better check. Thanks :). -[[S9771773G]]

This is from 2007. Click "Unique Opportunity to See FN HERSTAL's Products in Latin America" and then follow the link to the F2000. From the wording there it seems the FN EGLM / GL-1 didn't actually ''have'' an official name in 2007 and was considered part of an "integrated weapon system;" the name "FN40GL" only starts turning up on their site after a redesign in July 2008. I'm not really sure which name came first, but since the Mk 13 was entered for the EGLM requirement and had no official name, I guess that's how we ended up with FN ELGM.

For gun pages, if you click the picture of a gun, you can see what pages they were used in and this would be helpful in determining what media they were used in.  If you're considering cleaning up the [[Remington 870]] page, I would recommend creating tables for each different model as it would very labor intensive to list it in the "Notes" column for each variant.  It probably should resemble the [[Glock]] or the [[M1911]] page.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 17:51, 28 December 2011 (CST)

Hi, me again. Thanks for the revision of the '''Kampfpistole''' section, it looks all complete now; good work! Allow me to check with you for two small remarks.
== RE:  Firearms used by Chinese Armed Forces ==


(1) Could you please revise the pagename from '''Kampfpistole Z''' to '''Kampfpistole''' (without 'Z'). See below for the logic. I don't know how to do that...
Well 1) PLA is in a lot of media recently (BF series, Passion leads Army,Project Reality, and a lot of movies) 2)Historical pourpose (and in case of a reunification) 3)I promise that I will end in less than a month. (If I got blank check of course) --[[User:Dannyguns|Dannyguns]] ([[User talk:Dannyguns|talk]]) 09:54, 21 January 2017 (EST)
So can I make it?
:How many movies with PLA-used weapons have entries on this wiki anyway? I feel that "List of firearms used by" pages are useful trivia at least and a handy way to tell if a firearm in a piece of media is anachronistic or doesn't belong in the hands of a fictional depiction of a country's armed forces. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh|talk]]) 17:59, 21 January 2017 (EST)

(2) While you're at it, could you add a few lines to your original text on the page to reflect my above explanation. Please see below suggestion. I can also do that if you want.
:: Not to butt in but I'd like to lend my piece here - I don't agree with having such pages, in fact I daresay the existing ones we have are a bit much already. I don't really recall how they came about but the point is, while they could be useful trivia I feel they lean too much towards being a gun encyclopedia, which is, as expressly stated, not the point of the site. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 20:15, 22 January 2017 (EST)


The Kampfpistole (“battle pistol”) was an adapted flare pistol used by the Germans in WWII that could also be used to fire explosive charges at lightly armored targets. The adaptation stemmed from a desire to have a more accurate delivery of explosive rounds than from a regular flare pistol. For this reason, a flare pistol (the ‘Leuchtpistole Modell 1934’) was equipped with a grooved barrel (grooves = ‘Züge’ in German) and the naming was changed to Kampfpistole ('battle pistol'). This model has the alternative name ‘Leuchtpistole Z’ and it has a ‘Z’ painted on the left side of the chamber.
Yeah they include even ORGANIZATIONS like FSB or NCIS,SS, which are not part of official armed forces.--[[User:Dannyguns|Dannyguns]] ([[User talk:Dannyguns|talk]]) 09:20, 23 January 2017 (EST)
::: I noted this on the talk page but to reiterate - NCIS is under the Department of the Navy, it's not a civilian agency. Thus I'd say it does qualify, insofar as the page itself is allowable anyway. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 14:27, 23 January 2017 (EST)

: Joke all you wish but there's still a marked difference. Yes they're police in the strictest sense, but the distinction here IS jurisdiction - They're 'police' only for the armed forces; NCIS only investigates crimes pertaining to Navy personnel. That said, the page notes firearms used by CGIS, Army CID, and, indeed, Military Police and Security Police (for the Air Force) as well. I grant it's perhaps rather persnickety I'm spending time trying to make a point of this, especially since as I said before, I question the point of such a page on the whole, but again, the bottom line is NCIS is part of the military and is NOT the same as any other police agency in this particular regard, end of.

==Downfall Russian?==
Yep Europeans like me, are too formal
You put that Downfall was a Russian co production.  There seems to be no evidence of that at all.  NONE of the production companies associated with it were Russian.  All of them were German according to online info.  Just filming in Russia doesn't make it a Russian co production.  But if you have other info to the contrary, let me know :)  Thanks.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 12:17, 15 January 2012 (CST)


==Filmed==
==RE: David Belle==
Sorry but Merely filming in a place doesn't make it a co-production. That interpretation is new. The intent of that category was to recognize the actual ''film industry'' in different countries.  Just going there to film something doesn't make it partially theirs. If we listed EVERY country that a movie was filmed in, that would make every multi-country  movie a co production of that country. Which is NOT TRUE.  Look at the 007 Movies.  Those movies are filmed all over the place. We don't list every country as a co producer of every movie.  The category is meant to read Produced & Filmed by .....  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:45, 16 January 2012 (CST)

Hello, '''Funkychinaman'''! I'm sorry, I have some question: I know, that pages, than contain only one firearm don't qualify if this gun is seen only in holster. But, the movie ''The Power of Fear (Vedma)'' contain note one, but two different revolvers (Sheriff's Taurus Model 689 and 2nd deputy sheriff's unknown revolver). Both were never dran from holsters. So, may this page be eligebly, due it's contain not one, but two different guns? The prooved screenshots can be seen on disscussion page: [[Talk:Lembit Ulfsak|disscussion page]].

Hi,'''Funkychinaman'''!Look,I'd like to create a page for the romanian film '''Reconstitution'''(1960) by Virgil Calotescu.The problem is,I can't find the right genre for it.I mean,the film is about the famous 1959 National  Bank robbery(in Bucharest), and it's like a documentary(it features the actual robbers  in the main roles)....but it isn't really a documentary,it's more like a propaganda film.So,I don't know what to do.Please give me some advice.

== Vulcan Minigun ==
 
Well the thing is, It's name "Vulcan Minigun" must have come from a certain weapon or weapons. So I did some researching and found a weapon that bears similar characteristics. In this case, the drum magazine attached to the bottom of the M61 Vulcan. And it's drum magazine does look a bit similar to the drum used by the in-game minigun. Also, that's how Overkill named this weapon. So that's what got my attention. The fact that this weapon is based off of the GEM134 and has a fictional device that looks similar to a non-fictional device used by another armament.--[[User:Gunnerboy|Gunnerboy]] ([[User talk:Gunnerboy|talk]]) 19:25, 2 February 2018 (EST)
:Modern Warfare 2 had a habit of referring to M134s as "Vulcan" mini guns as well, you can't really just go off of that name. You could mention that the drum magazine is similar to that used on some of the M61 variants, but the weapon in game is quite clearly supposed to be a hand-held M134. Also, according to the Payday wiki, it's name in the files is "m134".--[[User:AgentGumby|AgentGumby]] ([[User talk:AgentGumby|talk]]) 20:01, 2 February 2018 (EST)

== Sup. Pistol ==
 
Ya, most of them are easily indentifiable aside from looking cartoonish. The Supressed Pistol seems to be based on a FN FNP/FNX-45 with a supressor and a Tirijicon RMR. The only weapon I seem to be struggling with seems to be the Revolver, since it looks old, but features multiple things from different old era revolvers and is double-action.
 
The game has both modes present when you open it (althrough unless you pay only one of them is, so I'll probably treat it similar to Call of Duty and it's Zombies mode). I'll be uploading and writing most of the things through this weekend and post it all at once when it's done.

Hey man, noticed you asked about "hasn't this been out for a while now?" regarding the status of [[Squad]]'s release.
 
However, I'm still not awfully sure what's IMFDB stand on when a game is released. In the [[Escape from Tarkov]] page, it has the WIP banner, and I assume it's because it's currently in Closed Beta and it cannot be considered as "released" fully yet. However, for Squad, it is on Steam yes, but it is still in Open Alpha and is still far from full release. In this case, may I clarify what "released" means on this site? It is the moment it is available for purchase and play (aka Escape from Tarkov, which arguably is), or is it the moment it leaves beta and becomes a full build?

Yes it is a "wiki". But interference in the structure of the site should not be. Change of description. Correction of errors. Of course. But adding screenshots of weapons (premium: only differs in color). It should not be on the page. This is not a Wiki related to the game, but shows the weapon as it is. Also, since I've been working on this game since its release, I added all screenshots. The author of these new changes should at least ask if I am still working on the site. A different situation like I would say a few months did nothing to her. It has such a right. But not in this situation. Put yourself in my position.

== Request to Unlock Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ==
 
I would like to request for the page [[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3]] to be unlocked for edits. There has been a lot of new information that were discovered since the last administrator edit on the page, as the talk page can show. The history of this page does not provide a reason for why the page was locked in the first place, and as it is, it would be much more beneficial for the page to be unlocked, allowing us normal users to contribute to the page with new information. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 08:39, 5 May 2020 (EDT)

I changed most of abandoned WIP pages to incomplete. The ones that I supposed to be complete are ''[[Nude Bomb, The]]'', ''[[Dr. Mabuse The Gambler]]'', and ''[[Lonely Are the Brave]]'' that all look fairly complete. But you are right, it would be safer to mark them as incomplete. Thanks! --[[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 10:12, 12 May 2020 (EDT)

== Bringing back the Killer7 page. ==
 
Hi, ''Killer7'' has been available on PC since 2018 and I would like to bring back the page with a WIP tag. I am not the original creator, but I do have access to the game's PC version along with the ability to take relevant screenshots from the game, and would like to finally give that classic arthouse game a complete IMFDB page this time around. Can this be done or is there going to be a problem? --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh|talk]]) 20:39, 18 October 2020 (EDT)

== Phasing out the "SVD-M" name ==
 
Hello administrator. I am planning to fully phase out the name "SVD-M" from this wiki and replace the name with alternative names and descriptors that are more accurate to reality, and would like to seek your final approval on my plans.
 
The name "SVD-M" is currently being used on IMFDB to describe a particular setup of the SVD sniper rifle with synthetic furniture, which first appeared in the 1990s/2000s. However, there is no evidence that this name is an official Russian designation, no evidence that it was commonly used in western sources, and this name is also highly similar to the official name of another SVD variant known as the SVDM which was revealed in 2018. The name "SVD-M" is thus unreflective of reality (it is not official, nor is it commonly used), and also too easily confused with another different variant. Since IMFDB ultimately aims to provide accurate and reliable information to its viewers, it is better if the name is fully phased out across the wiki and replaced with more accurate descriptions like "SVD with synthetic furniture" or "post-1990s SVD".
 
Additional discussions on the "SVD-M" name can be found [[Talk:SVD_Dragunov#SVD-M|here]].--[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 07:30, 8 November 2020 (EST)

== Wolfenstein 3D page ==
 
Hello. I saw you were the one who has locked this page from creation. [[Talk:Wolfenstein 3D|I found out]] that Atari Jaguar and a bit of 3DO/Macintosh/Apple IIGS ports all feature graphics with a higher resolution than it was in MS-DOS version; actually, two of the weapons (the pistol and the chaingun) are clearly edited [[Doom (VG)]]'s [[Beretta 92FS]] and its Tootsie-Toy "Ol' Painless"/Hand Held M134 Minigun, plus M16 from the cover is used in the game menu.
 
I think that probably could make such a page eligible in the way that the page about Doom (1993) is... if it's written this way with all the notes about ports, - and the firearms from MS-DOS version are placed in "trivia" category at best, with the words about that these sprites by itself doesn't allow to decide what firearms are these, and what have the developers implied in game hint books about these guns (for example, MS-DOS pistol is supposed to be a Walther P38, not Luger P08). What do you think? --[[User:MP-3008|MP-3008]] ([[User talk:MP-3008|talk]]) 22:24, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

==Is this ok to add to the site?==
Can I add this film to the site? It is called a "documentary" but it plays like a movie. There are no talking heads, instead the film showa recreations of interviews of some of the participants of the Battle of the Little Bighorn from both sides of the fight with flashbacks of the battle anf the events that led up to it. Here are a couple of links to where the film can be watched. Let me know on my talk page if it is ok to add.

I'm sorry, I have another question: I also have another licensed DVD with Russian film "The Territory (Territoriya)". I don't know: will this movie licensed in USA on DVD or not or not. I still not watch this film, so I don't know, contain it firearms or not. If it contains the guns, should I create it with screenshots on main page?

007 Agent Under Fire

Would like to help re-build the 007 Agent Under Fire page, I have the original Xbox version of the game and can help bring some much higher resolution images and hopefully better descriptions. It may take me some time to build the page back up as I will have to replay the game all the way through in between my full time job.

Followup questions for you

Hi! Thanks for responding to me! I have a few followup questions: 1) Do you play games much? If so, do you play scifi shooters as well as shooters with realistic guns? Or are you generally drawn to games with more authentic firearms? 2) How much does the increasingly weird weaponry of Call of Duty games harm your enjoyment? Is it like a minor annoyance, or does it make it much harder to get into the game? THANKS!

Cuestion regarding one of the movie's title.

Hi, i wanted to create a page about the new movie that came out about heists starring Luis Tosar and i already got the screenshots but i dont know if the title should be in English traducted or original language.. The movie is called "100 Años De Perdón" or 100 Years of Forgiveness. --Death Shadow20 (talk) 15:20, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

Commando Black Ops?

Most people saying that is an Colt 933, or an Colt 733 (M4 Commando). Also some said that "Firstly, as far as I know there is no such thing as a Model 733 with a flat top, that is just a Model 933. What do you think the difference is? The gun in the game isn't a Model 933 or a 733 though, as regardless of the different design of rail, it also has a slickside upper receiver without a FA or BD. The closest match I can come up with would be a GAU-5A/A with a flash hider rather than the moderator (which was actually done) with a fictional/custom upper with a sight rail. --commando552".

Regarding Subpages and Independent Releases

I've discovered recently that my old Photos subpage I thought was deleted years ago is still intact. Though I never really valued it that much it was a nice surprise to see it after all those years and it also got me thinking on subpages - could I do one about firearms in my own short films?.. Also regarding that - as I'm filming an independent feature film for years and don't know yet what kind of release we would have I wanted to ask whether some feature independent films released on the web (YouTube) could have their own pages? There are quite a lot of films distributed through YouTube nowadays, which also had some limited theatrical run or showings. I'm hoping to do a primary example of such - Ashens and the Quest for the Gamechild in the near future. While I'm sure about the latter one (it has more or less studio-grade production and a lot of famous names attached), I felt the need to ask about those movies which were made independently on little to no budget. Considering that IMFDB covered examples like Razor Blade Smile, I think it will be just to cover some independent films of digital age, as well. --Kloga (talk) 17:46, 26 June 2016 (EDT)

Okay, thanks, I'll consult about web releases individually. Also, I remember there was a page for 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, was it deleted? I'm planning to do pages for 1987 animated series (as Japanese company was heavily involved in the creation of the first season, it had a animesque realistic approach to firearms which was surprisingly more or less carried through the series) and 1988 RoboCop animated series, both being, in my opinion, some of the finest representations of firearms in western animation. --Kloga (talk) 19:17, 26 June 2016 (EDT)
A norm for the 1980's which stuck through the 90's and to this day was to draw firearms as some kind of lasers. That doesn't stop creators of RoboCop series to draw his signature Auto-9, as well as some other firearms such as Heckler & Koch P9S virtually the same as in real life. TMNT series as well smuggled some firearms, especially in the first season, even with fired rounds and good sound effects. I'll provide some detailed examples from both series when I'll get to that. --Kloga (talk) 20:45, 26 June 2016 (EDT)

TOZ-8

Just wanted to ask to wait at least a few minutes before editing article I created if work is obviously in progress - I'm a bit slow, yes, but you've changed one word in the article three minutes later and I've lost a fully stable variant of the article with four photographs and fixed stats as a result. It will take additional 8-10 minutes to finish the article and re-do it. :( --Kloga (talk) 21:38, 13 July 2016 (EDT)

Also, there is a standalone variant named TOZ-8M, currently not seen anywhere. Should I place the photograph of it in the main article, or I can make a section for it, in case it turns up somewhere? --Kloga (talk) 21:42, 13 July 2016 (EDT)
Thanks for answering. I have another question, it's off-topic, but since I've started the discussion, I'll probably ask here - as LAPD 2019 Blaster from Blade Runner doesn't have it's own page as a fictional firearm can I do one? It doesn't have its own page despite appearing in one movie, four videogames (three of which are already covered here and one I plan to cover as well) and re-produced numerous times as a replica. Also there are tons of unused information about it on discussion page that will look just fine, if separate page on the gun will be created. --Kloga (talk) 22:50, 13 July 2016 (EDT)
Thanks! --Kloga (talk) 23:04, 13 July 2016 (EDT)

Steyr Mannlicher Model SL

Regarding Steyr Mannlicher Model SL - in fact it is more of a full working gun modified beyond belief. Blaster is basically a sawn-off rifle fitted with lots of additional details and, more importantly, instantly recognizable shape and fully intact Steyr markings. I haven't added Blaster as an appearance of Charter Arms Bulldog, though, because this indeed, was only a part. --Kloga (talk) 10:05, 14 July 2016 (EDT)

The fact that a few non-substantial details were taken from Charter Arms Bulldog is a recent discovery and they are barely seen in the construction. I will not argue further but at least don't delete Model SL from Steyr Mannlicher page - if someone will stumble upon this in the movie, it will be useful for identification. --Kloga (talk) 10:49, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
Good idea! Should Blade Runner still be listed in the sub-section? --Kloga (talk) 12:37, 14 July 2016 (EDT)

Just had an idea, I think, we can put to a great use.

What do you think about this? A little bit clumsy and bulky but otherwise may have a good potential. The website is growing larger and larger (20,000 articles+) and such a simple thing can not only be useful for readers (to consult), newcomers (to check) and distinguished users like me (who just can't put information like that anywhere else), but also, potentially, have much more order on Talk and Disambiguation pages. Putting re-directs for sub-sections for further ease of checking and voilà: a lot of preserved time and, more importantly, nerves. --Kloga (talk) 20:24, 15 July 2016 (EDT)

I believe in that idea, so I will still consult further after a few improvements. Eligibility requirements have their issues to be fair. I'm not in position to judge and I'm not doing that, but it took me a while to understand why exactly Sherlock Holmes Baffled was deleted while The Great Train Robbery has a page (and to be fair, the latter is still a short film, though is a notable exception). Another example is The 6th Day which only has one firearm and it is a fictional one (it has a direct fire role, though). Keep in mind, I was puzzled by both of these recently and I'm on this website since 2010 and I re-read guidelines and rules occasionally, just in case. Also sometimes I don't remember were there any firearms in the movie or not, so it takes an additional (nearly full!) re-watch like I did for The Caller (1987) and Andrei Rublev (which was absentee from Andrei Tarkovsky's movies so I've decided to check as he tends to have at least one firearm per film). A page like this, if casually updated by numerous users, can save a lot of time for other users as well - have doubts, check the list (no firearms - problem solved). P.S. A few examples of titles which were considered non-eligible for whatever reasons on my memory. I'm sure each IMFDB user has at least a few deleted/moved/aborted articles of that kind and, as I'm still sad about each of the deleted article I've seen through years. --Kloga (talk) 21:37, 15 July 2016 (EDT)
And now I'm trying to solve the problem and also to prevent it from happening with other users. It's logical, considering I had the most experience having it. ;) --Kloga (talk) 01:29, 16 July 2016 (EDT)

Disambiguation Pages

I did a disambiguation page for M*A*S*H and I'll probably do one for Treasure Island as well - we have at least two adaptations. I remember another one being here, with Michael Halsey, but it seems it was deleted for whatever reason (probably for only having flintlocks, which is kind of inevitable considering the setting and was considered eligible in later, better written articles). --Kloga (talk) 21:41, 15 July 2016 (EDT)

A Few Style Guide Questions

Thanks for correcting. I'm not insisting on adding brackets to an actor's name on his or her actor page - as you may have noticed, I do that only for image descriptions as it's the quicker way to have name in bold on such a page and I just thought that in bold it looks nicer. As for the redirects - I haven't found anything on doing that for actor pages - do you mean re-directs in general? I've discovered how to do them rather recently and usually go for a slightly idiosyncratic way - I firstly name the page with a re-direct title and then correct it to the normal one. Is it okay?

Also I've noticed that Style Guide says "Actors need to be in control of a particular weapon to receive an entry. This would exclude actors grappling for a weapon, or holding up a weapon in a plastic bag." The rule is probably about a common scene seen in procedurals with policemen and/or forensics holding a gun in a plastic bag, so exceptions like actually handling the gun in a bag are allowed (Mr. Brooks comes to mind) but I still wonder if Mikhail Krug's page is okay considering that rule. Despite a plastic bag he is clearly holding a PM himself (as he orders the murder) and, as it's his only screen appearance of that type, I hope it can stay. --Kloga (talk) 22:54, 20 July 2016 (EDT)

That's exactly the type of a scene I was talking about as seen in nearly every episode of nearly every police procedural ever. I have another question, which is slightly off-topic: are you using this nickname elsewhere? There are a DeviantArt, a Tumblr, Twitter and YouTube accounts which use "Funkchinaman" for a name and I just wonder are any of these people you. --Kloga (talk) 23:13, 20 July 2016 (EDT)

Is it a bit too early for it to have a page on it's own? Teaser trailer released at Comic Con has lots of firearms. Check out the draft in my sandbox. Any help with identification is also appreciated. --Kloga (talk) 16:15, 26 July 2016 (EDT)

Okay, thanks, I'll move it to it's own page. I'm working on a few more sandbox things, I'll wrote on them when I 'll be ready. --Kloga (talk) 18:37, 26 July 2016 (EDT)
This way much more people will join in to identify the firearms, I hope. Therefore, at the time of actual release in September we will already have one large scene with some of firearms covered. Moreover, I doubt we will get cleaner shots on those in the series, as well. --Kloga (talk) 19:29, 26 July 2016 (EDT)

Worms 3D

So here it is. Is it eligible? Considering Team Fortress 2 is, that is probably on the same level. Also, I'm puzzled how they were able to smuggle a HK416D which is commercially available since 2005 in a 2003 game. That's probably the reason why it have slightly more images then needed for it. --Kloga (talk) 20:42, 26 July 2016 (EDT)

Some question of rare gun in movie

Hello Funkychinaman! I'm sorry, I have some question: I know, that pages about media, that contain only tanegashima matchlock are ineligible.

RE: Firearms used by Chinese Armed Forces

Well 1) PLA is in a lot of media recently (BF series, Passion leads Army,Project Reality, and a lot of movies) 2)Historical pourpose (and in case of a reunification) 3)I promise that I will end in less than a month. (If I got blank check of course) --Dannyguns (talk) 09:54, 21 January 2017 (EST) So can I make it?

How many movies with PLA-used weapons have entries on this wiki anyway? I feel that "List of firearms used by" pages are useful trivia at least and a handy way to tell if a firearm in a piece of media is anachronistic or doesn't belong in the hands of a fictional depiction of a country's armed forces. --Mazryonh (talk) 17:59, 21 January 2017 (EST)

Um I seen few but I m more expert on videogames,but isnt my fault is these page are messed up (French and German),or overcomplete (US,Russia and UK). But would be my fault if I would create it and dont finish.--Dannyguns (talk) 07:40, 22 January 2017 (EST)

Not to butt in but I'd like to lend my piece here - I don't agree with having such pages, in fact I daresay the existing ones we have are a bit much already. I don't really recall how they came about but the point is, while they could be useful trivia I feel they lean too much towards being a gun encyclopedia, which is, as expressly stated, not the point of the site. StanTheMan (talk) 20:15, 22 January 2017 (EST)

Yeah they include even ORGANIZATIONS like FSB or NCIS,SS, which are not part of official armed forces.--Dannyguns (talk) 09:20, 23 January 2017 (EST)

I noted this on the talk page but to reiterate - NCIS is under the Department of the Navy, it's not a civilian agency. Thus I'd say it does qualify, insofar as the page itself is allowable anyway. StanTheMan (talk) 14:27, 23 January 2017 (EST)

So, can I have the HONOR of delete them? :)--Dannyguns (talk) 12:29, 23 January 2017 (EST)

StanTheMan still be a police force regardeless of giurisdiction. And was a joke, owner of this page.--Dannyguns (talk) 08:34, 24 January 2017 (EST)

Joke all you wish but there's still a marked difference. Yes they're police in the strictest sense, but the distinction here IS jurisdiction - They're 'police' only for the armed forces; NCIS only investigates crimes pertaining to Navy personnel. That said, the page notes firearms used by CGIS, Army CID, and, indeed, Military Police and Security Police (for the Air Force) as well. I grant it's perhaps rather persnickety I'm spending time trying to make a point of this, especially since as I said before, I question the point of such a page on the whole, but again, the bottom line is NCIS is part of the military and is NOT the same as any other police agency in this particular regard, end of. StanTheMan (talk) 16:55, 24 January 2017 (EST)

The joke was because I ask at Funkychinaman the honor of delete them, but if I need to line..

Yeah I got that, it's cool man. I definitely get too serious when I perhaps don't need to be. Bah. And to you FCM, sorry for semi-hijacking your shit here. StanTheMan (talk) 15:07, 25 January 2017 (EST)

Some question about holstered revolvers in movie

Hello, Funkychinaman! I'm sorry, I have some question: I know, that pages, than contain only one firearm don't qualify if this gun is seen only in holster. But, the movie The Power of Fear (Vedma) contain note one, but two different revolvers (Sheriff's Taurus Model 689 and 2nd deputy sheriff's unknown revolver). Both were never dran from holsters. So, may this page be eligebly, due it's contain not one, but two different guns? The prooved screenshots can be seen on disscussion page: disscussion page. Movie page on imdb.

Movie genre

Hi,Funkychinaman!Look,I'd like to create a page for the romanian film Reconstitution(1960) by Virgil Calotescu.The problem is,I can't find the right genre for it.I mean,the film is about the famous 1959 National Bank robbery(in Bucharest), and it's like a documentary(it features the actual robbers in the main roles)....but it isn't really a documentary,it's more like a propaganda film.So,I don't know what to do.Please give me some advice.

Hello there, as you can see from my user page I am an avid Syphon Filter fanatic and am attempting to collect the list of weapons used in each game to make pages.

Could you please assist me with this? Thank you and much appreciated. -Ft763

Hello, While I am acutely aware of the need for screenshots here, there is a major problem with Syphon Filter Logan's Shadow... it is virtually impossible to screencap images from a PS Vita.

Short on DVD

It's true that it probably not worth it on DVD, only 22 minutes is. I am rather surprised by what is written in rules about the causes of why not short films.

Yeah I know, although I was trying to make a compromise since there are some 16:9 screencaps as well, and I was thinking to have all of them in 550px so that there aren't many differences in terms of screencap widths on the same page.

A problem with image abuse

I got the following abuse from Carbinesfrcollector.com on my email:

You need to remove the picture of the Llama as it is a copyrighted image from carbinesforcollectors.com I will file suit if you do not.and have your site removed.

I guess that the source of the problem image is this page: Llamapage. Llama XVIII image looks the same as on their site but maybe some other images are also taken from Carbinesfrcollector. My English isn't good enough to discuss the problem. What should we do?

Vulcan Minigun

Well the thing is, It's name "Vulcan Minigun" must have come from a certain weapon or weapons. So I did some researching and found a weapon that bears similar characteristics. In this case, the drum magazine attached to the bottom of the M61 Vulcan. And it's drum magazine does look a bit similar to the drum used by the in-game minigun. Also, that's how Overkill named this weapon. So that's what got my attention. The fact that this weapon is based off of the GEM134 and has a fictional device that looks similar to a non-fictional device used by another armament.--Gunnerboy (talk) 19:25, 2 February 2018 (EST)

Modern Warfare 2 had a habit of referring to M134s as "Vulcan" mini guns as well, you can't really just go off of that name. You could mention that the drum magazine is similar to that used on some of the M61 variants, but the weapon in game is quite clearly supposed to be a hand-held M134. Also, according to the Payday wiki, it's name in the files is "m134".--AgentGumby (talk) 20:01, 2 February 2018 (EST)

Re:Dirty Bomb

Fortnite

Thank you for the opportunity! If it is any problem, should the page for Save the World and Battle Royale be different, or should I make categories for both modes? At least on Wikipedia it is shown as a standalone spin-off, but I think separating the two could be somewhat confusing. --DraconicSalad (talk) 18:00, 30 March 2018 (EDT)

Sup. Pistol

Ya, most of them are easily indentifiable aside from looking cartoonish. The Supressed Pistol seems to be based on a FN FNP/FNX-45 with a supressor and a Tirijicon RMR. The only weapon I seem to be struggling with seems to be the Revolver, since it looks old, but features multiple things from different old era revolvers and is double-action.

The game has both modes present when you open it (althrough unless you pay only one of them is, so I'll probably treat it similar to Call of Duty and it's Zombies mode). I'll be uploading and writing most of the things through this weekend and post it all at once when it's done.

Usage of Upcoming Banner for Squad

Hey man, noticed you asked about "hasn't this been out for a while now?" regarding the status of Squad's release.

However, I'm still not awfully sure what's IMFDB stand on when a game is released. In the Escape from Tarkov page, it has the WIP banner, and I assume it's because it's currently in Closed Beta and it cannot be considered as "released" fully yet. However, for Squad, it is on Steam yes, but it is still in Open Alpha and is still far from full release. In this case, may I clarify what "released" means on this site? It is the moment it is available for purchase and play (aka Escape from Tarkov, which arguably is), or is it the moment it leaves beta and becomes a full build?

Thanks! --OngYingGao (talk) 06:55, 18 July 2018

Cheers man, yea I was actually referring to the Upcoming banner but I mixed it up with the WIP one. I don't think I'll be adding anything more though, the description says it's in development and the info box says it was only released in Early Access in Dec 2015. --OngYingGao (talk) 07:46, 19 July 2018 (EDT)

Hi, Funkychinaman, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to reach out and ask you a quick question. I know you recently unlocked the Battlefield 1918 page and I was wondering if you can block it again, delete the page, or delete my account. What started off to fix a simple typo turned into an obsession and I have the spent the last few days editing it and I'm unable to feel a sense of completion no matter how many times I improve it. If you can do something that will prevent me from having access to it that'll be great and give me a peace of mind. Thanks and I'm sorry for any inconvenience. Vintage Guns (talk)

Miguel Ferrer

I would argue the Knight's Armament Revolver Rifle is a more accurate description and the Ruger Super Redhawk was the basis of the rifle. According to the discussion page the director John Badham had read about the rifle in Soldier of Fortune magazine and requested that the armorer make a mock-up of the rifle. The page for the rifle has Miguel Ferrer using it in Another Stakeout. Any ideas? Tell you what look at what I added to Miguel's page. How's that for a compromise? --Jcordell (talk) 15:12, 25 November 2018 (EST)--Jcordell (talk) 15:12, 25 November 2018 (EST)

Sorry, I wasn't even aware of the Screencapping Guide. Does this mean I have to reupload the images in full, uncropped?--Ssantusky (talk) 07:06, 26 September 2019 (EDT)

The DVD release date

Hello, Funkychinaman! Excuse me, I have some question: as far, as I know, the movies, that still note release on DVD in the USA should be templated as "NowShowing". But, I couldn't found any information obout USA realease of the movie Witches in the Woods. It's not USA, but a Canadian movie, and the "www.dvdsreleasedates.com" hadn't any information about this movie. So, what I should doing - templated the page as "NowShowing" or uploads screenshots from Russian DVD release? Pyramid Silent (talk) 11:37, 10 November 2019 (EST)

Also, I had found numerous images of DVD covers for this fim, so, it's possible, that English DVD release are exist at least, in several countries. Pyramid Silent (talk) 15:29, 11 November 2019 (EST)
Hello, again. Excuse me, I have another question: as this movie hadn't depicted on "www.dvdsreleasedates.com", is it possible to find information about it's DVD release, after it will be? Pyramid Silent (talk) 17:32, 20 December 2019 (EST)
The page is complite. Pyramid Silent (talk) 13:37, 3 June 2020 (EDT)

Requesting a page move

Star Wars: Rogue One needs to be moved to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. I cannot move the page because there is already a redirect occupying the destination.--Wuzh (talk) 14:46, 23 November 2019 (EST)

Thanks for the move! --Wuzh (talk) 13:53, 25 November 2019 (EST)

Area 88

A great thanks. Yes, I hadn't any skills with ID of the aircrafts. I had corrected all mistakes, which is depicted on the talk page. Pyramid Silent (talk) 16:59, 27 December 2019 (EST)

Breakpoint

Yes it is a "wiki". But interference in the structure of the site should not be. Change of description. Correction of errors. Of course. But adding screenshots of weapons (premium: only differs in color). It should not be on the page. This is not a Wiki related to the game, but shows the weapon as it is. Also, since I've been working on this game since its release, I added all screenshots. The author of these new changes should at least ask if I am still working on the site. A different situation like I would say a few months did nothing to her. It has such a right. But not in this situation. Put yourself in my position. All my contribution to this site has been modified. --Emto_PL (talk) 13:32, 28 January 2020 (EST)

Request to Unlock Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

I would like to request for the page Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to be unlocked for edits. There has been a lot of new information that were discovered since the last administrator edit on the page, as the talk page can show. The history of this page does not provide a reason for why the page was locked in the first place, and as it is, it would be much more beneficial for the page to be unlocked, allowing us normal users to contribute to the page with new information. --Wuzh (talk) 08:39, 5 May 2020 (EDT)

Thank you for unlocking the page. We will contribute to the page in a constructive manner. --Wuzh (talk) 12:04, 5 May 2020 (EDT)

Re: WIP to complete

I changed most of abandoned WIP pages to incomplete. The ones that I supposed to be complete are Nude Bomb, The, Dr. Mabuse The Gambler, and Lonely Are the Brave that all look fairly complete. But you are right, it would be safer to mark them as incomplete. Thanks! --Greg-Z (talk) 10:12, 12 May 2020 (EDT)

Unturned Graphics

Well i think the game is ok the graphics are just enough to differentiate between guns. G36 SCAR-L HK MP5colt canada c7a2 Here are a few examples which will hopefully convince you that Unturned is worthy of inclusion ;and well ill leave the final decision to the admins

Bringing back the Killer7 page.

Hi, Killer7 has been available on PC since 2018 and I would like to bring back the page with a WIP tag. I am not the original creator, but I do have access to the game's PC version along with the ability to take relevant screenshots from the game, and would like to finally give that classic arthouse game a complete IMFDB page this time around. Can this be done or is there going to be a problem? --Mazryonh (talk) 20:39, 18 October 2020 (EDT)

Would you prefer that I make a draft on the Killer7 talk page first before transferring the contents over to the actual wiki page? There are a number of hard-to-identify guns in the game that I would like input from the community on. --Mazryonh (talk) 12:18, 19 October 2020 (EDT)

Phasing out the "SVD-M" name

Hello administrator. I am planning to fully phase out the name "SVD-M" from this wiki and replace the name with alternative names and descriptors that are more accurate to reality, and would like to seek your final approval on my plans.

The name "SVD-M" is currently being used on IMFDB to describe a particular setup of the SVD sniper rifle with synthetic furniture, which first appeared in the 1990s/2000s. However, there is no evidence that this name is an official Russian designation, no evidence that it was commonly used in western sources, and this name is also highly similar to the official name of another SVD variant known as the SVDM which was revealed in 2018. The name "SVD-M" is thus unreflective of reality (it is not official, nor is it commonly used), and also too easily confused with another different variant. Since IMFDB ultimately aims to provide accurate and reliable information to its viewers, it is better if the name is fully phased out across the wiki and replaced with more accurate descriptions like "SVD with synthetic furniture" or "post-1990s SVD".

Additional discussions on the "SVD-M" name can be found here.--Wuzh (talk) 07:30, 8 November 2020 (EST)

Dear administrator, would you please review my proposal? It has been a week since I first proposed this plan. --Wuzh (talk) 00:19, 15 November 2020 (EST)

Acknowledged. Thank you for your approval. --Wuzh (talk) 22:02, 16 November 2020 (EST)

IP Blocks

The IP blocks are hitting Cloudflare IPs, which is the proxy service that hosts all of our images, and inadvertently blocking other users (when they randomly get assigned the same IP by Cloudflare) from editing. Going forward we can block accounts, but not IPs. --bunni (talk) 21:47, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Morbius

I wonder why you deleted the page that I had just created there are actually firearms in that movie is there? --User:Wolf1998 (talk) 18:56, 10 September 2022 (PST)

Cannons / hovitzers etc.

122 mm howitzer M1938 (M-30)
152 mm howitzer M1937 (ML-20)
203 mm howitzer M1931 (B-4)

Sorry, but I see no reason to remove these pages.--Emto (talk) 18:11, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Wolfenstein 3D page

Hello. I saw you were the one who has locked this page from creation. I found out that Atari Jaguar and a bit of 3DO/Macintosh/Apple IIGS ports all feature graphics with a higher resolution than it was in MS-DOS version; actually, two of the weapons (the pistol and the chaingun) are clearly edited Doom (VG)'s Beretta 92FS and its Tootsie-Toy "Ol' Painless"/Hand Held M134 Minigun, plus M16 from the cover is used in the game menu.

I think that probably could make such a page eligible in the way that the page about Doom (1993) is... if it's written this way with all the notes about ports, - and the firearms from MS-DOS version are placed in "trivia" category at best, with the words about that these sprites by itself doesn't allow to decide what firearms are these, and what have the developers implied in game hint books about these guns (for example, MS-DOS pistol is supposed to be a Walther P38, not Luger P08). What do you think? --MP-3008 (talk) 22:24, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

  • All right, so may I ask to unlock this page (now it's locked from creation)? I'd try to make a page about specific Atari Jaguar version, with probably MS-DOS and others placed in some "Trivia/Not Eligible" category under all examples.--MP-3008 (talk) 09:44, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Forum Account

Yes, that worked. Thank you. I had to change emails because the one I had been using was getting way too much spam, but I haven't been getting confirmation emails at all for some reason despite trying multiple different emails. I'm wondering if the forum account creation being disabled here has something to do with it. Spartan198 (talk) 00:46, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Doesn't surprise me. Forums as a platform have been dying out for a few good years now. 10:00, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Is this ok to add to the site?

Can I add this film to the site? It is called a "documentary" but it plays like a movie. There are no talking heads, instead the film showa recreations of interviews of some of the participants of the Battle of the Little Bighorn from both sides of the fight with flashbacks of the battle anf the events that led up to it. Here are a couple of links to where the film can be watched. Let me know on my talk page if it is ok to add. https://aviationpicturesimtp.com/?fbclid=IwAR3PniaurtYYxJgodb7wARLRspkmHTLnd_tIjl49AGmC7QFccY_3dy3fnDM````

Yes, it is just from the site as of now. I know the director, so I can see what other plans are out there for distribution--The Cowboy General (talk) 20:17, 12 April 2023 (UTC) Let me know if it is ok to add even if the website is enough of a distribution hub to add here.--The Cowboy General (talk) 21:22, 14 April 2023 (UTC) There are/were plans to get the movie into film festivals, but I don't know if that fell through. The director wanted to get it on streaming services too. I am looking into this and will post any future updates on my talk page.--The Cowboy General (talk) 04:49, 18 April 2023 (UTC) Here is another place where Custer's Strategy of Defeat can be streamed/viewed, does this meet the distribution requirement? Please let me know on my talk page. https://www.historyfix.com/custer-s-strategy-of-defeat?fbclid=IwAR0eSf8zGed-2zP1d2BwQAUoLjc9DM4bR64Cf-pvuLcC9iSJd4sc106KxHM--The Cowboy General (talk) 07:42, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Issue with Helsinki

About the page Hellsinki (aka Rööperi), which previously had functional images but were now "deleted", the page's files were actually all broken during the wiki update last year that broke all the pages/categories/files with special characters in them. (e.g. letters with diacritics like "ö"). While we (me and bunni) managed to fix the broken main pages, we still haven't found a way to retrieve the broken files yet. If you want we can discuss about this in more detail on Discord. --Wuzh (talk) 17:19, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Forbidden Siren 2

Ok if I make a new page for it? I'm capturing screenshots as I play since it seems the original deletion was "Noeffort" which to my understanding is when there's no screencaps of the weapons in-game. --Samz (talk) 21:11, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
