I wonder what was the original reason for deleting "Cyborg" movie page?
Amazed by your photos and additions, by the way. You have access to some of the greatest firearms in movie history... --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 10:36, 14 December 2013 (EST)


Just wondering if you had any idea what firearm the Timecop Machine Pistol was built around.  I've been told that it's not a TEC 9, AP-9 or Spectre M4. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 20:47, 13 March 2012 (CDT)

I think it was Bulgarian kids, and it actually had it's own wiki, which threw me off. For a while, it seemed like he was improving, so I was willing to give him a little rope. He stopped trying to submit his own movie, and ''Violent Shit'' and ''Zombie Panic '90'' were actually real feature-length films. I told him that people were unlikely to help him finish pages on grade-Z German horror films, so he moved on to mainstream features. I'm guessing this kid didn't hear "no" a lot from his folks. I wish we could impose an age limit as well, but I don't know how we could possibly enforce it. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 10:38, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
:What I meant was that ''Violent Shit'' and ''Zombie '90'' were feature length films NOT made by the kid and otherwise eligible. (How a ten year old got his hands on them and how his parents allowed him to watch them is beyond me.) --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 12:35, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

YOU BLANKED THE PAGE! WAHOOOO! Now it will load! :-) SO quick question for ya. What are the rules governing whether a fictional weapon gets its own page? I read the info on [[IMFDB Info: Fictional Firearms]] and it makes perfect sense, but it seems more about whether the gun is mentioned on the site or not. I'm particularly curious about the [[(America's Army 3) - Grenade Series]]. These grenades are used in 1 video game and are clearly based on real world grenades. It seems to me that they don't need to have their own page if they are just used in this one game. I'd love to hear your thoughts. :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 20:42, 18 March 2012 (CDT)
== Smith & Wesson 659 ==


== SVD ==
Hello. It has been awhile. I got that info about the trigger guard from the ''Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson; 3rd Edition'' by Jim Supica and Richard Nahas, page 293. I also own the 2nd Edition and I just checked it as well. Says the same thing. I and others helped Mr. Nahas (last time I checked he was the curator for the NRA's museum in Virgina now) when he was putting together the 3rd Edition over on the http://smith-wessonforum.com with adding additional info, correcting mistakes and so on. Hell he thanks everybody to include me (Checkman). So I guess I'm taking it as an article of faith that it must be correct since it wasn't changed. However mistakes do happen and sometimes those mistakes get through the cracks and eventually become accepted as correct when they aren't. Hope that helps.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] ([[User talk:Jcordell|talk]]) 10:41, 9 September 2012 (EDT)


I fixed the SVD page a while back; someone had changed the caption on your image of the Tiger Carbine you own to claim it was an SVD-M a couple of years back. What I'm curious about is the one we have labelled as SVD-S at present; is that one a Tiger Carbine too (as it was orginally captioned)? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 12:21, 3 April 2012 (CDT)
No problem. Actually I've had a Model 745 on layaway at a local shop. I'll be bringing it home this Friday. I also like the squared trigger guard. The price on the 745 was only $375.00. I'll be posting a photo of it in the near future over on the forum. Smith only made 5,000 745's between 86-90 so the opportunity was too good to let go. Plus at that price I couldn't let it go. Most 745's I see for sale (on the Internet) seem to be priced between 700-800 dollars. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] ([[User talk:Jcordell|talk]]) 09:59, 11 September 2012 (EDT)
:Don't know.  That one was a google search image and I'm not an expert on SVD rifles.  Sure, I own them, but I have not researched them.  IMFDB requires a magnitude higher of scholastic research than my job actually requires. hahahahahahah.  I just know the rudimentary background on most guns, and then take them to the movie set, etc. etc. etc. :)  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 12:39, 3 April 2012 (CDT)

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I am having. Admin "Evil Tim" blocked me for no reason thinking I was some guy named "Burt", which I am not, my name is Danny. I tryed to contact him about it on my blocked account "Glock17gen4", but it wouldnt let me so I'm forced to use this account I made. I tryed to contact him and I have no received a reply, I think he is ignoring the msg or something. I was wondering if you could help and unblock my other account, thanks.

Hello. I posted on [[Talk:1968 Tunnel Rats]] page but [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] reverted my post just a few minutes later. This is not the first time he had conflict with users, his actions forced another old-time user [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] to quit. He likes declaring people trolls without a firm reason. Can something be done about it? :\ --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 09:16, 14 April 2012 (CDT)
Hey man. First of all I want to be clear, I am NOT questioning your change. You know far more about guns that I do... But in [[CSI: NY - Season 6]] how the devil can you tell that is a S&W Model 60?! Or do you have insider information... --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] ([[User talk:Zackmann08|talk]]) 14:43, 7 March 2013 (EST)
:Unhelpful political commentary which has nothing to do with improving a page does not belong. Unless you can explain why saying America "trembles before China" has anything to do with improving the page "1968 Tunnel Rats" or serves any purpose but annoying people, I'll say it's trolling and doesn't belong. In general treating talk pages as a general discussion forum does not belong since we have an actual forum for that.
:Gotcha. I really wasn't challenging your ID, I was just impressed that you could tell based on that one screenshot. Thanks for the explanation. :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] ([[User talk:Zackmann08|talk]]) 15:31, 7 March 2013 (EST)


:Mr. Wolf quit because he couldn't accept that a formatting idea only he subscribed to made pages look random and messy. I was sad to see he couldn't get past that weird quirk, since he was a good contributor, and I was sad to see him go. Don't you ''dare'' try to invoke him to justify what you're doing.

== Your Images ==
 
I had a thought. You are keeping a running list of images on your user page, which is freaking awesome and if I haven't said this enough I LOVE your images. As I'm sure you have noticed, your user page can be a pain to load because it has SO many images and it's hard to scroll through. Have you considered using the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> code? It might be super helpful... Just food for thought. Your page so you can obviously do whatever the hell you want with it... But could be cool to have a "pistol" gallery, an "AK" gallery, etc. :-p  --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] ([[User talk:Zackmann08|talk]]) 16:25, 7 March 2013 (EST)

Hey MoviePropMaster, I would like to say welcome back and excellent work on the new pictures you have been uploading lately, it always brings me joy to see what you upload next. Also, I saw your post on the forums, and don't worry, I haven't went anywhere. Even if I'm not active on the site, I still check up on imfdb daily to see what's new.

I am still working on it, and you can obviously change it around to categories that make more sense and what not but yea. hope you like it. :-) (Note that the actual page is in MY user space, the page I linked you to is just including what I am working on.) Also, I started a template for you. {{tl|MPM}}.

Hey MPM, beautiful work on that big batch of pictures you uploaded last night, they are simply amazing. If I can help you out in anyway, let me know. Also, I wasn't sure if you forgot about this one: [[File:S&W1006.jpg |thumb|none|400px|]] --[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 23:06, 16 March 2013 (EDT)
 
I  understand what you mean, many of these new additions must be hard to sort out, but like you said it is good to have them when they appear in something rather then the stress of trying to find them when they do. Also, your trip to South Africa sounds amazing, it would great to get some pictures of exotic weapons that you wouldn't find in the states, I hope you do manage to find a way to get there, and if you do get there, please be careful. As for the gun control debates that have been going on for the past several months, I agree, it's crazy especially with those sad tragedies that have happened over the past year, I just hate it when good and responsibles gun owners or those who work with guns are blamed for the deeds of bad people, and I'm sorry if you have to put up with that kind of harrassment, it can be difficult since people tend to freak out easily these days. Also, I think I would rather prefer real blank adapted firearms then airsoft replicas, sure airsoft can be pretty realistic in terms of details, but blanks make a movie or show much more authentic when comes to guns. Like I said if you need help, just give me the page or image you need worked on, and I'll help out the best I can on it, keep in mind, much has changed since I last did major editing here, so I may not be familiar with the ways the newer users edit the site. Glad to hear from you too, and once again, glad to have you back.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 01:35, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

== Noticed your note to Ben ==
 
You will have great difficulty getting Blu-Ray caps with ''any'' modern capture program, Bunni tells me this is because bootleggers were using scripts with older programs to screenshot every frame of a Blu-Ray disc and then stitch them back together into a movie after recording the sound. Sadly any method you can use to take screencaps of a Blu-Ray disc can also be used to pirate one; Ben's using an older player IIRC which hasn't had the screenshot feature removed. Most other methods involve expensive equipment (projectors / capture devices) and are probably not legal in the strictest sense, I know studios have sent Cease & Desists to people on other forums who've posted on how to take high-quality Blu-Ray screenshots.

== Winchester Model 62A image ==
 
Is this Winchester Model 62A image one you took, or just one you found online?
[[File:Winchester-Model-62A.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Winchester Model 62A - .22LR]]
If it is one you took are your sure that it is actually a Winchester rather than a copy, as the pump looks too bulky and only has 16 grooves rather than the Winchester which has 16. My guess is that it is a Rossi Model 62SA, as that only has 16 grooves on the pump, along with the fact that the logo on the left of the receiver looks like the Rossi one. Below is a picture of (what I think is) a normal Winchester Model 62A with the slimmer pump with 17 grooves:
[[File:Winchester Model 62A.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Winchester Model 62A - .22LR]] I think both actually appear in currently listed stuff, for example the rifle in ''[[30 Cases of Major Zeman]]'' has 17 grooves hence a winchester, and the one in ''[[Stargate SG-1 - Season 10]]'' has the Rossi's 16 grooves.--[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:23, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

== SL8 with 30 round mag pic ==
 
[[File:H&KSL8BlackTacticalMod.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]
Do you know if this picture of yours is of a real gun or if it is a photoshop mock up? I ask because from what I've read it is a hard conversion to get an SL8-1 to take the 30 round mags requiring machining away the entire crimped part of the receiver, filling the gap with epoxy and then colouring the whole thing. The other reason I ask is that there are a few parts of the SL8 in this picture that are off, such as the vertical ridge at the rear of the receiver above the serial number window. Normally this is at the front of the window, but on this gun it is a few centimetres further back for some reason. The scope rail is also goes slightly too far back at the rear yet is in the correct place everywhere else, and some of the other parts and proportions are sightly off. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:54, 11 April 2013 (EDT)
 
:Thanks for getting back to me. If its a real gun then fair enough, it just looked a little "off". Didn't occur to me that the mag could be a dummy 30 stuck on the bottom of a single stack, a much easier solution to all the hacking, slashing ad filling required to do it for real. Only reason I asked about this was that I recently did a bit of a reorg of the SL8 section and wanted to make sure it was captioned correctly. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 12:59, 13 April 2013 (EDT)

==Boss Warning==
:(1) I have been to your talk page and cannot find a way to post a message there. Help, please.
There are at least 5 other models in episode 2; I simply haven't had time yet to finish making it. I've never made a page that I didn't know for certain would qualify, and this is no exception. I've been here a while and you've seen how much care I put into pages that I make, so please message me on my talk page next time you feel the need to warn me about something (so as not to tempt other users to interfere with my work unnecessarily). Also, I'm pretty sure that seeing as the MGC guns are generally regarded as one of the "high quality" models alluded to in #4 and it only says that the one real firearm rule applies if the rest are considered "''obvious'' toy or airsoft gun(s)" (which the MGCs are not) that the page would still qualify even if there were no other guns in the show.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 10:56, 2 May 2012 (CDT)
::Sorry about that. I forgot that a my talk page was locked for admins only, and I actually don't remember why. I think it was during the feud with Liam and others (usually from the UK) who were constantly vandalizing our pages. I remember that a particular vandal named Liam seemed overly obsessed with hating me. Well. that seems to be over and my apologies. You were right in that you were unintentionally blocked from writing on my talk page. Thanks for the updates and input MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 17:40, 24 April 2013 (EDT) (
:But I just explained why it could qualify according to rule #4. My problem is that by leaving a warning like that (when I've shown on numerous occasions to put a great amount of care into a page and I placed the "under construction" banner at the top) you posted that warning on that talk page which could inadvertently encourage other users to make unnecessary changes (which usually consists of adding in listing for guns with no screencaps to back them up) or possibly even causing another admin to see the warning, assume the page doesn't qualify, and delete it while cleaning house. I'm not "butthurt", I'm just irritated that your first reaction to an incomplete and obviously under-construction page was to post a large warning in the talk page instead of sending it to me. It'd be one thing if I was a new user with no history here, but I've made dozens of pages and hold my work to a fairly high standard. Most if it tends to be fairly obscure stuff, so I know that the odds of another user doing it properly are pretty low.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] 17:37, 2 May 2012 (CDT)
:2) Perhaps you did not notice my edit. I eliminated the words, "one of the most influential films" (which it was, for black directors), and replaced it with the entirely factual "listing on the National Film Registry." Readers are free to decide for themselves the value of such an honor and the film's viewers can decide what to make of the movie.
:For some reason, I cannot find the page, [[Birth of a Nation, The]], on IMFDB, but simply because it was racist should not preclude its inclusion on the list. In any case, the term, "influential," does not insinuate approval, IMHO. ''Triumph of the Will'' is undeniably an influential and evil motion picture. By the same token, [[John Wayne]]'s [[The Alamo (1960)]] is considered to be controversial by Hispanics for its alleged racist, revisionist depiction of the Texas War of Independence, but it is still a worthy of inclusion on the IMFDB, in my opinion.
:(3) Your comment did inspire me to create a new category, National Film Registry, of which I hope I have your approval. Thanks. --[[User:Elzzupa|Elzzupa]] ([[User talk:Elzzupa|talk]]) 15:42, 24 April 2013 (PST)

Hey. So first off, a disclaimer, I am posting the following message for each of the Admins so don't think I'm spamming. Just want to get input from all of you. I have been working on a number of infoboxes for different pages ([[Template:Infobox Movie]], [[Template:Infobox TV]], [[Template:Infobox Video Game]]). I have already gotten some help from [[Bunni]] who installed an additional add-on to facilitate the templates. I would love to get some feedback from you (and other admins) regarding these. Do you like the format? Are there things you would like changed? Should additional information be added? The nice thing is that with the add-on that [[Bunni]] installed, you do not have to provide all the information for the infobox. Any variables left blank will simply not be printed.

Finally, I would like to see how you feel about my adding these to pages. I have gotten positive feedback from a number of users (including at least 3 admins) but before I add this to more than a dozen or so pages (which I have done for testing purposes) I want to really get full permission. I know that sweeping changes are a '''MAJOR''' no-no without full admin approval. Check out the thread in the forum (http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=1942).

Great to see you too, MPM2008. I have quite a bit of free time on my hands quite often, and I noticed that the seasons of [[Heroes]] were in dire need of a revamp, so I decided to return to screencapping and give them a redo. So, how has life been with you, how's work and the movie business coming along? Also, do you have any new gun pictures coming soon? I understand if you're busy. Anyway, thanks for the hello, hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 03:47, 25 January 2014 (EST)


Crackshot wants to make a page for [[The Battle of Long Tan]], which appears to be a documentary with re-enactments.  Crackshot has told me that this is similar to [[Kokoda (2010)]], which appears to have been allowed.  I'm not really sure now, because there are obviously a lot of History Channel-type documentaries that do re-enactments as well and I don't believe these are eligible.  If you think this new page should stay, please let me know.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 05:05, 15 May 2012 (CDT)

We've allowed films with Tanegashimas in the past, so it'd be hard to disqualify a game with only Tanegashimas. I certainly don't like it, and Ben actually told a user who went on a samurai film spree to stop, but it seems to meet the requirements. The user has provided screencaps, the weapon appears to be clearly identifiable, and it appears to be an eligible title. If he keeps going, we'll probably tell him to focus on other genres though. (What do you think about ''[[Virtua Cop]]''?) --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 04:10, 21 April 2014 (EDT)
Well of course I bow to your experience since you actually photographed it and handeled it. I was going off of the photo - that weird front sight and the short grip. From the photo it looks like it was chopped by a gunsmith somewhere along the line and possibly the barrel was changed, but when I look at the group photo of the three actors it does look like Efram is holding a Colt Detective Special - judging by the scale. I've never heard of a Colt DS in 32 caliber, but then I suppose a good smith wouldn't have too much trouble converting a DS to a .32 caliber configuration. I have no issue with you making the change. You're there and I'm not. I pride myself on not being an idiot. Well not to often.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 16:58, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Since when did we put episodes in the "Air Date" column?? I thought the standard was to put them in the Notes column?? --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 18:21, 19 May 2012 (CDT)
Hello, sir! I just felt like asking out of curiosity since you've got lots of experience with the SPAS 12.
:I COULD NOT agree more.... You are right, I was making an assumption. Hope I didn't come across sounding like an ass... Honestly didn't mean to. I'd like to help! Question though... sis the air DATE really necessary as opposed to just the year? I think when you start adding day and month it gets to be a bit too much information... Plus there are some guns that appear in just a single episode, and then some that are used throughout a series (the characters main weapon). Another thing that would be REALLY nice to clear up while we are at it, for the date, do you list the date/year the weapon occurred, or the date(s) the show ran for? For example, if Jack Bauer used a certain gun for season 1-3 of [[24]] do we list 2001-2004 or 2001-2010? I've seen it both ways... I would LOVE to work together with you on this! How About the following (I included a couple sample entries, they are made up and don't pertain to any certain gun). :
How is it that you've handled 6 and they're really bad at functioning when...well, I know comparing experience to YouTube videos are bad but, how come they actually manage to get all 6-8 shots out of their gun in semi-auto? I get that blank-firing doesn't exactly work with that but you mentioned live fire so I thought Id ask.
Thanks! --RandomYoungPerson

Hey. I saw you took care of the "Arminius Model 10". I wanted to draw your attention to a few other gun pages that should prolly go since they don't have any occurrences... Most of them dont even have specs! Just an image and the "This gun appears in...". I'm also 99% percent sure that none of them are your images. I know that there are a few guns on the site that haven't appeared in anything but come from your "arsenal" so we keep them up. As you know, I defer to your judgement but these pages seem poorly made, reflect poorly on the site and don't meet even the most basic criteria for inclusion. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 12:28, 28 May 2012 (CDT)

Just a question regarding a number of odd-looking mortars I've seen on movie pages; do movies sometimes use fake mortar barrels on real stands and bases? I've seen a couple on the site that seem to have tubes that are thin-walled and longer than they'd normally be, and I'm wondering if they aren't just fabrications with pyro charges in them or something.

== Your Images ==
Hey, I noticed that IMFDB has no page for Spy Hard, and I was about to create one when I noticed that there was a page for this movie, but was deleted by you back in 2009. I have no idea what the page looked like back then, but think I have identified pretty much every gun seen in the movie (there's one pistol I'm not sure about) with plenty of screencaps, and I was wondering if I could recreate the page.
::(1) please identify yourself when you post on a user talk page ;)
::(2) Any page that was deleted in the old days was because it was either horribly done at the time or the person used pirate/bootleg images of bad quality.  There is no prohibition against any page being made as long as it is up to the standards of IMFDB and qualifies per the rules and regulations. :D  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 16:18, 23 May 2015 (EDT)

Quesiton for you. I am attempting to do some edits on Wikipedia as well. There are a number of gun pages that are missing images of the gun being discussed.

I would be more than happy to attribute them to you and would list your userpage as the source. I absolutely DO NOT want to use your images without permission though so let me know. :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 13:25, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
Hi i from the USA & i am older did 18 & 21 and i am new to imfdb my question  is how do you remove a picture & put up pictures because in Gangster Squad  Karl/Holt used a World War 2 Browning Automatic Rifle with no carry handle but on the Gangster Squad page it say that he used a early Browning Automatic Rifle but the early ones & the World War 1 version did not have a magazine guide  if you look closely at the  rifle magazine in the picture you can see the magazine guide that mean it's a m1918A2 World War 2 model  so how do i put the correct model & picture up on the page ? or can you change it to the correct model ?

Ten year olds

I think it was Bulgarian kids, and it actually had it's own wiki, which threw me off. For a while, it seemed like he was improving, so I was willing to give him a little rope. He stopped trying to submit his own movie, and Violent Shit and Zombie Panic '90 were actually real feature-length films. I told him that people were unlikely to help him finish pages on grade-Z German horror films, so he moved on to mainstream features. I'm guessing this kid didn't hear "no" a lot from his folks. I wish we could impose an age limit as well, but I don't know how we could possibly enforce it. --Funkychinaman 10:38, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

What I meant was that Violent Shit and Zombie '90 were feature length films NOT made by the kid and otherwise eligible. (How a ten year old got his hands on them and how his parents allowed him to watch them is beyond me.) --Funkychinaman 12:35, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

Smith & Wesson 659

Hello. It has been awhile. I got that info about the trigger guard from the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson; 3rd Edition by Jim Supica and Richard Nahas, page 293. I also own the 2nd Edition and I just checked it as well. Says the same thing. I and others helped Mr. Nahas (last time I checked he was the curator for the NRA's museum in Virgina now) when he was putting together the 3rd Edition over on the http://smith-wessonforum.com with adding additional info, correcting mistakes and so on. Hell he thanks everybody to include me (Checkman). So I guess I'm taking it as an article of faith that it must be correct since it wasn't changed. However mistakes do happen and sometimes those mistakes get through the cracks and eventually become accepted as correct when they aren't. Hope that helps.--Jcordell (talk) 10:41, 9 September 2012 (EDT)

No problem. Actually I've had a Model 745 on layaway at a local shop. I'll be bringing it home this Friday. I also like the squared trigger guard. The price on the 745 was only $375.00. I'll be posting a photo of it in the near future over on the forum. Smith only made 5,000 745's between 86-90 so the opportunity was too good to let go. Plus at that price I couldn't let it go. Most 745's I see for sale (on the Internet) seem to be priced between 700-800 dollars. --Jcordell (talk) 09:59, 11 September 2012 (EDT)

I had a thought. You are keeping a running list of images on your user page, which is freaking awesome and if I haven't said this enough I LOVE your images.

--Alienqueen11 (talk) 23:06, 16 March 2013 (EDT)

I understand what you mean, many of these new additions must be hard to sort out, but like you said it is good to have them when they appear in something rather then the stress of trying to find them when they do. Also, your trip to South Africa sounds amazing, it would great to get some pictures of exotic weapons that you wouldn't find in the states, I hope you do manage to find a way to get there, and if you do get there, please be careful. As for the gun control debates that have been going on for the past several months, I agree, it's crazy especially with those sad tragedies that have happened over the past year, I just hate it when good and responsibles gun owners or those who work with guns are blamed for the deeds of bad people, and I'm sorry if you have to put up with that kind of harrassment, it can be difficult since people tend to freak out easily these days. Also, I think I would rather prefer real blank adapted firearms then airsoft replicas, sure airsoft can be pretty realistic in terms of details, but blanks make a movie or show much more authentic when comes to guns. Like I said if you need help, just give me the page or image you need worked on, and I'll help out the best I can on it, keep in mind, much has changed since I last did major editing here, so I may not be familiar with the ways the newer users edit the site.

Noticed your note to Ben

You will have great difficulty getting Blu-Ray caps with any modern capture program, Bunni tells me this is because bootleggers were using scripts with older programs to screenshot every frame of a Blu-Ray disc and then stitch them back together into a movie after recording the sound. Sadly any method you can use to take screencaps of a Blu-Ray disc can also be used to pirate one; Ben's using an older player IIRC which hasn't had the screenshot feature removed. Most other methods involve expensive equipment (projectors / capture devices) and are probably not legal in the strictest sense, I know studios have sent Cease & Desists to people on other forums who've posted on how to take high-quality Blu-Ray screenshots.

Winchester Model 62A image

Is this Winchester Model 62A image one you took, or just one you found online?

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Winchester Model 62A - .22LR

If it is one you took are your sure that it is actually a Winchester rather than a copy, as the pump looks too bulky and only has 16 grooves rather than the Winchester which has 16. My guess is that it is a Rossi Model 62SA, as that only has 16 grooves on the pump, along with the fact that the logo on the left of the receiver looks like the Rossi one. Below is a picture of (what I think is) a normal Winchester Model 62A with the slimmer pump with 17 grooves:

Winchester Model 62A - .22LR

I think both actually appear in currently listed stuff, for example the rifle in 30 Cases of Major Zeman has 17 grooves hence a winchester, and the one in Stargate SG-1 - Season 10 has the Rossi's 16 grooves.--commando552 (talk) 08:23, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

SL8 with 30 round mag pic

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Do you know if this picture of yours is of a real gun or if it is a photoshop mock up? I ask because from what I've read it is a hard conversion to get an SL8-1 to take the 30 round mags requiring machining away the entire crimped part of the receiver, filling the gap with epoxy and then colouring the whole thing. The other reason I ask is that there are a few parts of the SL8 in this picture that are off, such as the vertical ridge at the rear of the receiver above the serial number window. Normally this is at the front of the window, but on this gun it is a few centimetres further back for some reason. The scope rail is also goes slightly too far back at the rear yet is in the correct place everywhere else, and some of the other parts and proportions are sightly off. --commando552 (talk) 08:54, 11 April 2013 (EDT)

Thanks for getting back to me. If its a real gun then fair enough, it just looked a little "off". Didn't occur to me that the mag could be a dummy 30 stuck on the bottom of a single stack, a much easier solution to all the hacking, slashing ad filling required to do it for real. Only reason I asked about this was that I recently did a bit of a reorg of the SL8 section and wanted to make sure it was captioned correctly. --commando552 (talk) 12:59, 13 April 2013 (EDT)

The Spook Who Sat by the Door

(1) I have been to your talk page and cannot find a way to post a message there. Help, please.
Sorry about that. I forgot that a my talk page was locked for admins only, and I actually don't remember why. I think it was during the feud with Liam and others (usually from the UK) who were constantly vandalizing our pages. I remember that a particular vandal named Liam seemed overly obsessed with hating me. Well. that seems to be over and my apologies. You were right in that you were unintentionally blocked from writing on my talk page. Thanks for the updates and input MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 17:40, 24 April 2013 (EDT) (
2) Perhaps you did not notice my edit. I eliminated the words, "one of the most influential films" (which it was, for black directors), and replaced it with the entirely factual "listing on the National Film Registry." Readers are free to decide for themselves the value of such an honor and the film's viewers can decide what to make of the movie.
For some reason, I cannot find the page, Birth of a Nation, The, on IMFDB, but simply because it was racist should not preclude its inclusion on the list. In any case, the term, "influential," does not insinuate approval, IMHO. Triumph of the Will is undeniably an influential and evil motion picture. By the same token, John Wayne's The Alamo (1960) is considered to be controversial by Hispanics for its alleged racist, revisionist depiction of the Texas War of Independence, but it is still a worthy of inclusion on the IMFDB, in my opinion.
(3) Your comment did inspire me to create a new category, National Film Registry, of which I hope I have your approval. Thanks. --Elzzupa (talk) 15:42, 24 April 2013 (PST)

I thought maybe of the adding the logo to your images, but it's probably better that you do it. You could probably just redo the most popular images such as the Model 29 and MP5 images. --Ben41 (talk) 02:46, 13 January 2014 (EST)


Breaking Bad

When I split a page up into separate seasons, I put the original code in one of the unused discussion pages so I can access it more conveniently. --Ben41 (talk) 02:46, 13 January 2014 (EST)

I'll make sure that I remove the categories on the old code in the future. --Ben41 (talk) 02:38, 14 January 2014 (EST)

Re: Hey! You're back!

Great to see you too, MPM2008. I have quite a bit of free time on my hands quite often, and I noticed that the seasons of Heroes were in dire need of a revamp, so I decided to return to screencapping and give them a redo. So, how has life been with you, how's work and the movie business coming along? Also, do you have any new gun pictures coming soon? I understand if you're busy. Anyway, thanks for the hello, hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well.--Alienqueen11 (talk) 03:47, 25 January 2014 (EST)

Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan!

We've allowed films with Tanegashimas in the past, so it'd be hard to disqualify a game with only Tanegashimas. I certainly don't like it, and Ben actually told a user who went on a samurai film spree to stop, but it seems to meet the requirements. The user has provided screencaps, the weapon appears to be clearly identifiable, and it appears to be an eligible title. If he keeps going, we'll probably tell him to focus on other genres though. (What do you think about Virtua Cop?) --Funkychinaman (talk) 04:10, 21 April 2014 (EDT)

I suppose #4 would not apply here. We're also assuming this is the only weapon in the game. I'll ask the guy. --Funkychinaman (talk) 04:24, 21 April 2014 (EDT)

About the SPAS

Hello, sir! I just felt like asking out of curiosity since you've got lots of experience with the SPAS 12. How is it that you've handled 6 and they're really bad at functioning when...well, I know comparing experience to YouTube videos are bad but, how come they actually manage to get all 6-8 shots out of their gun in semi-auto? I get that blank-firing doesn't exactly work with that but you mentioned live fire so I thought Id ask. Thanks! --RandomYoungPerson

P.S. This is the first time Ive actually posted something on an edit or talk page, do you know how to link my name to my page whenever I post things like these like you guys do?

Book of Eli

Yes, the user had contributed a few more screen used weapons, and since there wasn't an image of the other side, I put that there. If you want to upload the opposite picture, I'll put that one up on the page and place the other one on the discussion page. --Ben41 (talk) 02:14, 13 December 2014 (EST)

Hi

Hey, man, are you still around? Check out what I wrote on (Timecop) - Custom Assault Pistol. I've managed to get an ID on our mystery Canadian machine pistols. -MT2008 (talk) 14:19, 2 February 2015 (EST)

Mortars

Just a question regarding a number of odd-looking mortars I've seen on movie pages; do movies sometimes use fake mortar barrels on real stands and bases? I've seen a couple on the site that seem to have tubes that are thin-walled and longer than they'd normally be, and I'm wondering if they aren't just fabrications with pyro charges in them or something.

These two (from Rambo and Fury) seem to be the same slightly-too-long M1-style 81mm mortar. It resembles a French LLR 81mm, but I wouldn't think that would be a common stand-in for an M1. Any thoughts? Evil Tim (talk) 18:33, 12 February 2015 (EST)

Spy Hard

Hey, I noticed that IMFDB has no page for Spy Hard, and I was about to create one when I noticed that there was a page for this movie, but was deleted by you back in 2009. I have no idea what the page looked like back then, but think I have identified pretty much every gun seen in the movie (there's one pistol I'm not sure about) with plenty of screencaps, and I was wondering if I could recreate the page.

(1) please identify yourself when you post on a user talk page ;)
(2) Any page that was deleted in the old days was because it was either horribly done at the time or the person used pirate/bootleg images of bad quality. There is no prohibition against any page being made as long as it is up to the standards of IMFDB and qualifies per the rules and regulations. :D MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 16:18, 23 May 2015 (EDT)


John Doe

I apologize if anything is missing on the John Doe (2002) page. I saw that there were empty entries with no weapons images and wanted to help you out. I go ahead and let you finish. --Ben41 (talk) 21:33, 24 May 2015 (EDT)

Question

Hi i from the USA & i am older did 18 & 21 and i am new to imfdb my question is how do you remove a picture & put up pictures because in Gangster Squad Karl/Holt used a World War 2 Browning Automatic Rifle with no carry handle but on the Gangster Squad page it say that he used a early Browning Automatic Rifle but the early ones & the World War 1 version did not have a magazine guide if you look closely at the rifle magazine in the picture you can see the magazine guide that mean it's a m1918A2 World War 2 model so how do i put the correct model & picture up on the page ? or can you change it to the correct model ?
