I was on the fence on this one. But doesn't "Filipino" refer to more than just the people? A few months ago, I swapped out "Belgium Produced" for "Belgian Produced," so the intention was to follow that. I'll dig around a bit.

==''Ace Combat'' PAL Titles==
== Agents of SHIELD screenshots ==


Great move making the redirect page with the PAL title of ''[[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies]]''. I took your lead and did the same for the other ''AC'' game articles here (with the exception of ''[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation|AC6]]'', since it has the same title in North America and PAL regions). Way to stay heads-up, wish I had thought of that myself! [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 04:25, 10 March 2011 (MSK)
Could you please reupload the screenshots you had previously uploaded for Agents of SHIELD with new filenames?  Comparing screenshots, I would prefer to use yours than the ones that are currently up (yours appear to be sharper, despite the image size). Please rename your screenshots with the season and episode numbers before reuploading, such as for Season 1 Episode 1, you could put "MAOSS1E01 xxx".  That way, it's easier to keep track of what episode the screenshots are from. I'll delete your previous screenshots once you've done these.  Thanks.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] ([[User talk:Ben41|talk]]) 14:34, 3 October 2013 (EDT)

I appreciate all the extra work you've done on ''[[Ultimate Force]]''. I started the page a long time ago when I was new to IMFDB, and in retrospect, there's a lot of stuff I would have done differently (like not grouping all of the AK variants under one entry for "AK-47 variants", for instance). It's good to see someone's revamping it, because I haven't had time myself.
== Zastava M70 in 'A Dangerous Man' ==


That being said, some suggestions:
::Thanks a lot! Believe it or not but I completely understand what you mean, life on IMFDB is so much easier now. As to the squarer shape of the [[Zastava M70]] gas tube, I did some 'googling' and now I see what you mean. I found some images ([http://www.armasizarra.com/img/p/182-106-thickbox.jpg folding sight DOWN] and [http://www.armasizarra.com/img/p/104-46-thickbox.jpg folding sight UP]) that kind of say it all. Guess I will contact the website and ask permission to use on IMFDB, on the 'Talk' section for the AK-47 page.

*Please do make sure that you are adding the gun photos, gun page links, and descriptions of the weapons' use (and by which characters). When Excalibur did some additional work on the page a few years back, he was a bit lazy about adding that stuff.
== Page locked for "Team America: World Police" ==


*Since I and Excalibur last worked on the page, IMFDB has a new policy of dividing up TV shows with lots of weapons by season (i.e. ''[[24]]'' and ''[[Stargate: SG-1]]''). The ''[[Ultimate Force]]'' page is getting to be really, really long, so you might want to consider doing the same thing. Since you (wisely) labeled all of your screenshots according to the episode, it should be pretty easy to do this. (I can help you with that, if you want.)
Thanks for the suggestion, I think that was the case. I remember that when I put up the page I was in a bit of a hurry so I can imagine that to have happened. Case closed and 'thakns so mmcuh'! - [[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] ([[User talk:PeeWee055|talk]]) 11:06, 21 October 2013 (EDT)


*You might want to group weapons of the same manufacturer near to each other (i.e. SIG P225 and P228 both appear way below SIG P226, which is near the top of the page).
== File Redirect ==


*Your screenshots show that the "Colt CAR-15" with Cobray CM203 that is used by Henno and several other characters in Seasons 3 and 4 has a "Stowaway" pistol grip, which means that it's not a Colt but rather a 10" barrel Olympic Arms K3B carbine fitted with a fake XM177 flash hider. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:21, 20 July 2011 (CDT)

== Re: Countdown (Lichnyy nomer) ==


==movie guns==
Thanks for your comments, I believe you’re quite right on the pistol being a Skif Anics A-3000. Checked with other screenshots and we have a 100% match. As to your suggestion for the 2nd gun being a [[Kedr_PP-91#PDT-9T_Esaul|PDT-9T Esaul]], I respectfully disagree somewhat. Judging by the typical ‘hooked’ front sight, I think it’s more likely to be a [[Kedr PP-91#Kedr PP-91|Kedr PP-91]] / [[Kedr_PP-91#Klin PP-9|Klin PP-9]]. I just happened to notice this morning that these guns make an appearance in the movie so it’s probably the same prop. Thanks again, [[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] ([[User talk:PeeWee055|talk]]) 07:00, 19 November 2013 (EST)
beats me.  Remember that movie arsenals have tons of franken guns.  We have a pile of Bushmaster or Colt or (fill in the blank) full auto papered lowers and auto sears and another pile of barreled uppers.  Sometimes the gun is a complete gun, but most of the time, it is built up from parts (and usually from different manufacturers).  The pics, I just grabbed what looked right at the time from the gun rack. I would one day like to go back and make sure that each lower is properly mated to the right upper for historical purposes.  Also even though we use COLT as the standard for IMFDB when talking about the various model types, there are TONS of receivers built by 3rd party manufacturers.  I know of at least three makes in inventory from companies that went out of business in the 1980s. And we all know the many makers today.  I need to go back sometime and fix the pics for the samples (try to make extra sure that all the parts are from the right lineage), but that takes time. It IS one of the many things on my list to do when I have time.  But as per IMFDB, they are still good for our site, only in that they are (a) movie blank adapted weapons which have been used in movies and TV and (b) at least once or at the time they were photographed, they were used to represent that model type.  I know post 1986 most of the AR type receivers built were A2 style with the strengthening bits.  The only real A1 lowers were on guns purchased prior to the release of the A2.   I slapped a ton of different colt Uppers on whatever lower was available at the time.  Usually trying to get it as close as I could. The custom build ups were the most time consuming though. Hope this helps.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:58, 5 August 2011 (CDT)
:Thanks for your comments but I stick with this being a real [[Kedr PP-91#Kedr PP-91|Kedr PP-91]] / [[Kedr_PP-91#Klin PP-9|Klin PP-9]]. Reasons are that (a) it’s never seen fired so just for show and (b) the credits show that this movie was heavily supported by the Russian authorities and it shows lots of real Russian Sukhoi fighter jets, real Mil Mi-24 helicopters so I can imagine the Russian armed forces kindly supported a few guns as well for demo purpose to make the movie look cool, [[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] ([[User talk:PeeWee055|talk]]) 08:21, 20 November 2013 (EST)
::Okay, you da man.  I did a quick check on one of the guns and it WAS a non-colt lower that was a pre-86 transferable full auto conversion. Your eagle eyes are keeping me honest! ;) LOL.  I will try to mate a real Colt A1 lower to a Colt A1 upper and be sure it's a Colt.  Back in the day when I first started, most of IMFDB's gun pics were horrible airsoft photos, the veteran members & mods can attest to that.  I was just rushing to get real movie armory weapons as soon as possible.  But I really should not have a mixed and match Hollywood built up gun when there are plenty of 100% complete guns out there.  I just grabbed what was convenient on the rack to photograph it.  Thanks to YOU, though, I will try to get 100% correct pics to replace the sample pics for the M16 page.  Now I notice weird little things that I missed (for one, the old style rear sling swivel should not be on any of the post XM16E1 guns, etc.)  I just wanted to thank you again for your sharp vision.  It makes us more accurate when members catch things like that :D  best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 16:16, 6 September 2011 (CDT)


== Maxim 1910/30 - Vickers MK1 in 'Attack on Leningrad' ==
== Symbols ==


Thanks for your comment, I think you're quite right. I simply assumed that because the movie was taking place in Russia, it would be a Russian Maxim, but upon closer inspection it does indeed look like a Vickers MK1. It's probably come off one of the Allied support shipment that went through Murmansk harbour in the early years of WWII.
So let me get this straight, this just about symbols!? You don't need to revert my edits just cuz of that, you should instead, if you don't like it, you petty guys edit it in another way (remove "×" and put "x" and leave my edits), this only shows how lazy admins are. I don't know how do you do the "×" sign on U.S. keyboard, but on my typeboard, I just simply type it. I suggest you (or any other admin) revert Funkychinaman's revision and bring it back on mine, then I'll edit as you like it (since none of you wants).

== Basically, sorry. ==


== Remington 700 ==
To say the least, automatic crossbow discussion was not only a case of doing before thinking and mindless arguing, but also it was pretty much offensive, especially for you. I really feel like I should say sorry for it. And I'm actually upper intermediate in English (I have some minor grammar problems but I'm well in a few other things and have a good vocabulary) - my  writing style just degraded a little bit, because I was tired and feeling not that well yesterday so I really wrote it all wrong, especially putting Van Helsing in it. I should have researched for real cases well, at the very least. So I completely deserved the ban, [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] put on me last evening. I have used it productively, though: today I just was roaming through "unidentified" category, identified quite a few things (plus a few other minor faults) and were using MS Word to write what I will upload now. I really hope to be more valuable for this site. Thanks. --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 19:52, 18 December 2013 (EST)


Thanks for putting up the new picture of the BDL.  I think the lack of a rifle sight on the barrel of the other picture causes some confusion.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 18:33, 20 September 2011 (CDT)

[[User:Andrey Karchikyan|Andrey Karchikyan]] ([[User talk:Andrey Karchikyan|talk]]) 22:22, 8 January 2014 (MSK)


Much as I'm kinda fond of that full-length shot of the GAU-8, it's not as good for a page image; it isn't as widely linked-to as the high-contrast version, and that version is cropped to focus more on the end of the gun / ammo drum rig you're actually likely to be trying to ID. It's a better image, that's why I put the other one on the talk page. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 19:21, 19 October 2011 (CDT)
== Hey ==


:I don't know about that; the gun isn't "obscured" by the feed mechanism since you're very unlikely to see it ''without'' that mechanism; if anything, the one with the helmet is an inferior picture since it doesn't show a part of the gun it's always attached to if it's actually shown working. The drum isn't really needed since, well, it's a drum; it's not that distinctive and likely to be fictionalised if the weapon is shown in a non-standard mounting anyway. I'm trying to remember, but I'm sure I've seen GAU-8s in games which aren't attached to A-10s. I'd keep both; the one with the helmet is fine if it's shown on an A-10, the other is useful for ID'ing it if it's shown outside the aircraft. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 05:12, 20 October 2011 (CDT)
Hey, I got a question: I heard that in real life, open bolt weapons do not need to be cocked after reloading an empty magazine (unless the trigger was held down after emptying the mag). Is it true for ALL open-bolt weapons? (including some like AA-12, MG3, M60, Thompson, etc)?<br>Also, the grenade launchers have a timer fuse to prevent it from exploding at short range, but is it also the case for the rocket launchers? (I heard that too). --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 11:36, 11 January 2014 (EST)


::Yeah, but as I edited, I think we should keep both the pictures that are there now. Goalkeeper would get its own subsection (like Phalanx on the Vulcan page) if we start having them spotted. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 05:42, 20 October 2011 (CDT)

Hey Commando, thanks for the help identifying the guns on the Heroes pages. I also have a favor to ask, I have this on rifle in Season 4 that needs identifying in order to complete the page. It's on [[Talk:Heroes - Season 4]], Ben41 suggests it might be a Steyr SSG 69, do you think you could take a look and give me your opinion since the both of you helped me so many times before? Thanks in advance?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 00:08, 30 January 2014 (EST)
So are you volunteering to be my detail check man? ;)  I need someone who knows a lot more about M16s than I do to go one step further.  Also my own knowledge has grown since I joined this site, because of the attention to detail.  Of course there is the conundrum that many so called variants are never really seen in movies, the more common version will always be the norm. Case in point: the preponderance of C&C HK94s in Hollywood.  And even those registered SMGs still exist, but they've been updated with correct trigger packs and barrels.  Anyway, thanks for the research!  It is always appreciated.  I've struggled with the research element in the past.  The easiest thing for me to do is to actually GET the gun and photograph it.  Please let me know if you're interested in helping me with other M16 identifications. :)  best regards.

== The Hooligan Wars ==


But in all seriousness, I'm 98.9% sure. The Rk 62's production numbers were closer to half a million (some sources say they're still produced as we speak), as it was adopted by our armed forces (it was designed with the Nordic climate in mind). Lots of (civilian/semi-auto only) Rk 62s were also exported. The M76 was later designed to be even more robust, but our armed forces (in all their glory) desided ''NOT'' to fully replace the M76s, as they didn't feel the need for it. (Sort of like what happened to FN SCAR as the replacement for AR-15 in your armed forces.) Of course some of the M76s were adopted, but in far smaller numbers (like what happened to HK416). It was only produced for about ten years, with smaller production numbers, and most of them were shipped overseas.
Thanks for your remarks about the G36C on [[Hooligan Wars, The|The Hooligan Wars]]. I was wondering about the vent holes myself but before I could post a question, you kindly answered. One more thing, with you being from the UK, can you confirm that 'police officers' is a correct description for the UK law enforcement officers that are in the movie (esp. in the images for 'unidentified pistol' and the 'G36' variants)? I was tempted to say something like 'SWAT' but don't want to do so until more details are confirmed. Thanks for letting me know, [[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] ([[User talk:PeeWee055|talk]]) 12:37, 1 April 2014 (EDT)
:Thanks for the info, I corrected the page accordingly. Cheers, [[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] ([[User talk:PeeWee055|talk]]) 05:28, 2 April 2014 (EDT)


In America, the M76 ''could'' be more common, as half of the produced version were .223s (the more common/ preferred round in the US, I think?). But the Rk 62 was produced for over 50 years in huge numbers (also offered in .223 in export)
== S.S.D. ==


Oh, and I got some extra info for you, if you like:
Yes, this screenshot is the only high quality image of this rifle. All another shot are blurred: it's moving effect. [[User:Pyramid Silent|Pyramid Silent]] ([[User talk:Pyramid Silent|talk]]) 08:04, 5 April 2014 (EDT)


[[Image:ValmetM62.jpg|thumb|none|300px|]]
== watermarks in Sailor Moon ==


The Rk 62 above is a very old model. The handguard with the small holes in it means that it has day sights.
I answered about episode's number and watermarks on disscussion page. [[User:Pyramid Silent|Pyramid Silent]] ([[User talk:Pyramid Silent|talk]]) 12:48, 26 May 2014 (EDT)


After criticism (from Mihali Kalashnikov himself) the rifle was changed to have tritium night sights. The basic model of the Rk 62 was also changed to have plastic furniture (for ease of production), and if an Rk 62 has the modernized handguard (seen below:) it has the tritium sights. Some Rk 62 were still manufactured with the daysight/holed handguard, but as our winters are [[30 Days of Night|very, very dark]], they figured "what the hell" and scrapped it in mid 1980s.

Great shot.  But do you know WHEN it was made? and who got it?  It would help us ID guns that were used years earlier.  Right now, guns like the Draco are place holders for what we suspect are customized AIRs (which were 5.56) and converted to 7.62x39mm but this would be more correct.  But if it came out after the movies in question, then a customized movie armorer gun was used.  Thanks for the AK help.  We're slowly but surely filling in the historical gaps on guns.

== Covert Affairs ==
a long time ago you and I spoke about the SL8.  Well, You have an eagle eye.  One of the problems with pics I take is that they are definitely MOVIE GUNS, not perfect examples of the real world guns.  Many times armorers update or 'fake' new models by making modifications for the projects (heck, if the producers or directors don't notice, then why not?).  That is why I want to swap out a bunch of the mix and match gun pics I shot for the M16 series and some of the FN FAL series with examples that have all the correct items on them.  But you know well, that we mix and match ALL the time.  I'm not sure if that's a bad thing, since IMFDB IS a chronicle of guns in movies, not 'guns of the world'.  Though it would probably be a good thing to have a perfect example of the 100% spot on version of the 'real world' version of the gun.  On your eagle eye spotting of issues with the SL8.  The scope rail IS a replacement one from an airsoft kit.  The armorer whose gun I photographed, only recently mentioned that the original gun (When he acquire it) had different sights on it so he swapped out the long scope rail from his airsoft gun (for some sort of film, the title of which I don't know) and put it on the real gun.  The scope rails are metal so I certainly could not tell.  If I can, I can try to get a 100% real world version of that weapon in a pic, though that mockup did appear in 'something' already, I'm not sure what though.  Thanks and best regards for your amazing eye for details.

Hello, '''Commando552'''! I'm sorry, I have some request: may you help me to ID the pistols in the anime [[Desert Punk]]. The [[Desert Punk#Unknown Pistol 1|first one]] (appears at the episodes 3th and 10th). This pistol is clearly seen, at least two Close Up, but this pistol may be not present at the IMFDB.
It's not an issue since your work can be merged easily into a generic page, but guns which are not real (but not part of the fictional guns section) are not considered worthy of their own pages.  Previously we did not have any entries in the 'theatrical blank' fire only weapons, and only mentioned them in the pages that they appeared in.  Even then, they usually had a spot in the REAL firearm page, upon which they were based. As this one and a few others are cropping up, we will have to created a new 'Blank fire only guns" page which are designed from the ground up to not be a live firearm, but also is not a copy of an existing firearm design.   This and a few others fall into this category. Again, your nice work won't be lost but we should group all of the 'custom design or hybrid' blank fire only guns into one page, just like we did with the 'non-guns' (i.e. the flash paper guns). :)  Thanks.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 21:04, 3 January 2012 (CST)

==blank guns==
== MG42 page ==
this one [[Olympic 6 Blank Firing Revolver]] is a generic revolver design, not based on any LIVE weapon that we can determine.  There will be MORE, I can guarantee that.  So far 90% of the blank only guns are direct and pretty good copies of actual live gun designs and thus belong at the bottom of those pages.  But we do need a page for the weird, nondescript or hybrid guns like [http://www.maxarmory.com/products/ASI_MAX_UZI_Blank_Front_Firing_Machine_Gun-3411-2.html] which I am sure will start appearing in some productions.  They call it an "uzi", but to include it on the actual UZI page is an insult to the Uzi guns :D.  Be sure to present the page as for those 'theatrical guns' which fire proprietary blanks only.  What is interesting is that only recently the ATF and Customs are allowing import of 'front fire' blank guns.  Previously only the fully blocked barrels and guns which flash only upwards were allowed.  I think these guns fire 'backwards' like the old blow back toy guns from Japan but I have not seen one to inspect it's interior mechanism.

:Thanks, the pic is perfect. And according to a video, there will be at least 3 different buttstocks for most of the weapons: fixed (reduces kick), folding (reduces weight penalty) and folding in folded position (increases maneuverability). Maybe they didn't know that since the 74M, the stocks can fold, that is why they added a wire stock. I am also starting to think that the AK-103 on the GRFS page is actually that AK-200 with a different stock and other attachments, like the X26 Taser. We will know more when they release the game.

The Humaritt Koharu (SSS) uses a it in "Mission: 005 - The Fragile Dream with a Crimson Colored Horizon".

Hey. So question for ya. How do you know that the gun used in [[CSI: NY - Season 7]] is the MP5K instead of the MP5K-PDW? I'm not questioning your edit, I always defer to the experts here... just trying to understand and further my knowledge. When I look at these two images (which are taken from the [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] page by the way)  ([[Media:MP5K-PDWEarly.jpg|MP5K-PDW Image]], [[Media:MP5K-SEF.jpg|MP5K Image]]) the only difference I see is the stock... Also, based on the description provide for the [[Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW]] on its page, this is the main difference between the two... Any way, as I said, not trying to argue with you, just want to learn. :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 14:17, 22 February 2012 (CST)

Sorry for not getting back to you until several months later. I am pretty sure I saw the hooded and not hooded sights of Norincos and AKs.

I removed them from a page that I myself created (I wouldn't delete them from someone else's page) and I did so for 2 reasons. 1) There wasn't really a good picture of the person, just a shot of their hand with a gun and 2) there was like an 8 year old kid holding a gun and the likelihood of him being seen with a gun again is pretty low.

Hi, I recently [http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Call_of_Duty:_Black_Ops&diff=prev&oldid=1171179 edited] the Black Ops page, and since you were involved with the GAU-5A/A part I thought I'd let you know, in case there's any issues, since no exact clarification has been provided when I asked about it on the talk page (I should have probably asked you before making the edit, but well... better late than never). --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 07:05, 28 March 2018 (EDT)
:Yeah, it was just to make sure whether it is or isn't actually a GAU-5A/A albeit customized with a flash hider and bolted on rail (as the latter appears to have been done on AR-15s in the late 80s and early 90s, as I mentioned in the talk page). As for the AK, you're right too, it's much more complex than I thought, and I kinda missed some of the details that you mentioned (and in response to what you said about the front sight, it [http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/File:ELITE_AK-47.png does] [http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/File:AK-47_Menu_Icon_BOII.png have] an AKM-type sight). With those details, I see why the WASR was mentioned, even though it still lacks some of the in-game features. Btw as you're implying that the front sight of the current production AK-74 is different from that of the AKM, it's mainly due to the bayonet lug underneath it, right? Anyway, I'll leave the changes on the page up to you (or I can do them myself if you want). --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 13:07, 28 March 2018 (EDT)

Hello Commando552. I believe that some of the images you have uploaded to the M16 page are photoshopped images; for example, these two images below differ only by the length of the barrel, and the rest of the gun is completely identical, suggesting that one of them is a photoshopped image. However, the photoshopped images are not clearly marked as being photoshopped images, which can mislead IMFDB users into believing that the photoshopped guns are real guns. Would you kindly mark out all the photoshopped images on the M16 page with a "Photoshopped" marking in their image captions?
Did I? I thought I was reinserting removed decimals from calibers in Imperial units. I've been doing that because that particular user always removes them. I'll check again. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 07:04, 20 July 2012 (CDT)

You point is well taken. This is not a one size fits all solution. There are pages that 95% done but still incomplete, then there are pages that are 5% done... This is something that I am intending to do but I don't know how soon I will get around to it because it will take some time to figure out. That being said, when I do figure out the code, I will make sure to bring it up in the forum before I implement it. One thought might be to have a couple of incomplete tags... Like an "Incomplete stage 1", "Incomplete stage 2", "Incomplete stage 3". Pages that reach stage 3 will be marked for deletion but in a way that will note to the admins that they need to check and see if this is a 95% done page or a 5% done... Thanks for pointing this out.

Even though "Possibly Photoshopped" is removed because I agree with your point that they look dumb, I still do think it is useful to mark out photoshops; the fact that many companies use photoshopped gun images is ''more'' reason that we should do better than them and distinguish between real and edited gun images. The companies are for-profit, but IMFDB is all about being educational and informative. Identifying photoshopped images (including photoshopped official gun images) fits in with our aim to educate and inform, and hopefully would make our readers think more critically about gun images. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 01:30, 4 July 2020 (EDT)

== Proposal on reorganizing the AK-47 pages ==


 
Hello Commando552. Recently I've been working a proposed reorganization of the [[AK-47]] and [[AK-74]] pages by their producers rather than calibers; you can find details about it and the discussions surrounding it [[Talk:AK-47#Proposal:_Sorting_AKs_by_their_producers_rather_than_caliber|here]]. Earlier, when I discussed this proposal with funkychinaman over Discord, he recommended me to check in with you and hear about your opinions on my proposal, because he told me you are an expert on guns on the wiki. What do you think about my proposal? Does it work? What can be improved? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 04:21, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

== Proposal to create a page on Firearms used by Taiwan (ROC) Forces. ==
 
Hi there, after my academic examination, ends on 8 Oct,i would have all the time in the world to create a new page about firearms used by ROC forces.
 
Since that is my home country, i am pretty familiar and have the reference to the firearms. My intention is to simply contribute to the site, without stirring up political/diplomatic conflicts...
 
Is just that i have yet to create a proper page before and may need help in formatting and polishing the page...

As far as I know the HK45CT has high-profile sights and their serial numbers are completely different from the HK45C line.

Also, that image on the H&K USA webpage was added in January 2012, and I think the real HK45CT was definitely not around that time.

== Mercenary for Justice AKs ==
 
My guess is that they are AMM (FEG AK-63 F) and AMMSz (FEG AK-63 D) is based on that they have smooth front handguards instead of bulged ones of the AKMs, otherwise they have AKM features such as stamped receivers and ribbed receiver covers and you can't make out the shape of the pistol grip as they aren't visible because of the actor holding the weapon. Now thw picture I added is of a SA-85M, the designation given to AK-63s when they are imported to the U.S. in semi-auto form, because I couldn't find any pictures of a full auto AK-63 F, or AMM as they are called in Hungarian service. I talked to ([[User talk:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]]) about it and he said he agreed with me on that so I was aloud to change the page. --[[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] ([[User talk:Thejoker|talk]]) 12:25, 28 January 2013 (EST)
 
 
Well I can't see if the gas tubes are ported or not, but I'm shure the one labeled as a AK-63 F, full stock variant to the right in the first picture, and the one labeled as AK-63 D, folding stock variant to the right in the second picture, does not have palm swells on their handguards. Though it might be as you say that they are AKM/AKMS with the handguards replaced. About the color of the furniture, here are some links to photos showing AK-63s with darker or more reddish wooden furniture:

About the designations, according to the Wiki page written in Hungarian the designations are as follows, fixed stock variant AK-63 F (F=Fatusás), called AMM (Automata Modernizált Magyarosított) in Hungarian service, and folding stock variant AK-63 D (D=Deszant), called AMMSz (Automata Modernizált Magyarosított ?)

== Reply AKS ==
 
Okey, I just though as there was several pictures on the AK-47 section it might be nice to add that picture to the AKS page. Also I thought that the light orange furniture of the other unfolded AKS seen there was not something found on most AKS in movies, the ones I've seen are mostly brownish like the one in this picture. And like in the Type I AKS that has been put into pages were it shouldn't go, Type I AKs are virtually unseen in any live action movies, they might be seen in videogames though, and I have tried to swith those on pages were a Type III should be, one of the reasons for the over usage of the Type 1 I think might be the color of the furniture, but thats just a guess. I understand about the names, I just wanted to show the name for curiosa. As I have been banned for adding pictures to main pages without talking to admins I won't do it again, and if you don't want it on the main page I'll just add it to the discussion page as you said.

Neither the novel or the movie appear to have had their titles translated but the wiki page translates the novel from ''Coq Rouge – berättelsen om en svensk spion'' into ''Coq Rouge – the story of a Swedish spy'' and the movie title ''Täcknamn Coq Rouge'' as ''Codename Coq Rouge'', so I think the ''Coq Rouge'' part should be treated as a name and not be translated. --[[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] ([[User talk:Thejoker|talk]]) 14:31, 4 February 2013 (EST)

These are the changes of the names for the pages currently called [[SA Vz.58 assault rifle]], and [[SA.23 submachine gun series]], as well the minor change to [[Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion]], that I propose to be made for provideing symmetry for their common origin.
:Sa. vz. 48 was the original name (Before 1950) of the 9x19mm caliber models 23 (vz. 48A) and 25 (vz. 48B) submachine guns, which were the basis of the later 7.62x25mm caliber models 24 and 26, and is thus suited as a title for this series of submachine guns. Can I make these name changes of said pages? --[[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] ([[User talk:Thejoker|talk]]) 11:52, 20 March 2013 (EDT)
 
 
: I'm not sure either if it's supposed to be a period after "Sa", though I so as logically both acronyms should be treated the same. All of the guns where produced by Česká zbrojovka and adopted by Czech military and there official designations beginnings with "Samopal vzor... (Submachine gun model...)". I have read info written in original Czech and translated the words with Google Translate, it may sound like a bad idea but most of the text is translated well albeit sometimes in the wrong order they are supposed to be read. But I wont change anything if you feel unsure or disagree with me, at least not without putting up an entry on their respected talk pages and awaiting comments. --[[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] ([[User talk:Thejoker|talk]]) 14:51, 20 March 2013 (EDT)

I do not use the screen cap feature of VLC to make my shots. I simply Print Screen (ctrl+PrintScreen) and then paste into a Photoshop window.

== Opinion on moving some pages ==
 
The so-called Radom pistol appears as [[RADOM (Polish WZ. 35 VIS Pistol)]]. While inclusion of "Radom" moniker is natural, the "WZ. 35 VIS" part looks off - proper designation is "Vis wz.35": no caps, no space, and the other way round. My proposition is to change this page's name to "Vis wz.35" (and add "Radom Pistol" redirect), or "Vis wz.35 Radom pistol", or "Radom Vis wz.35" (order is not important here). While it may sound like nit-picking, I think it's important from educational point of view. Also, in my opinion, page [[PM-84 Glauberyt]] should be moved, and cut from most pictures (reason stated here: [[Talk:PM-84 Glauberyt]]). What would You say about such changes? --[[User:Chris22lr|Chris22lr]] ([[User talk:Chris22lr|talk]]) 14:31, 12 August 2013 (EDT)
: I've checked best resources that I had, and while You're right on the "wz. 35" (with space), still all-caps "VIS" is wrong - it appears on the slide, and also in pistol manual BUT the same manual refers to the gun also as "the "Vis" wz. 35 pistol" (with name in quotation marks, see this OCR'd manual: [http://www.lucznictwokonne.pl/zurawiejki/kawaleryjskie/regul/vis/v1.html [1<nowiki>]</nowiki>]). I'd say that all-caps "VIS" on slide, or in manual, is a left-over from it's previous name "WiS" ("Wilniewczyc i Skrzypinski" - names of the designers). Or it was done simply because of looks - see markings on Kbk wz. 29, which are also "all-caps". Polish arms historian Leszek Erenfeicht, who have acces to official pre-war documents regarding Vis' origin and it's adoption in army, always refers to the gun as "Vis wz. 35". In fact, there is also second "official" name for the gun: "pistolet wz. 35" - under this designation it was adopted in army (like M16 is US Army name for Armalite/Colt AR-15).
: We'll see how "VIS/Vis" affair will end, but what with [[PM-84 Glauberyt]] page? As I wrote in it's talk page, no PM-84 was seen in movies (that particular gun was made only in short pre-production series), just like other variants which pictures are shown on that page. To make it comply with IMFDB standards, only PM-84P should be shown. Having 6, or so, pics of guns that never appeared on screen is waste of space IMHO. --[[User:Chris22lr|Chris22lr]] ([[User talk:Chris22lr|talk]]) 12:45, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

I was on the fence on this one. But doesn't "Filipino" refer to more than just the people? A few months ago, I swapped out "Belgium Produced" for "Belgian Produced," so the intention was to follow that. I'll dig around a bit. (Some of the help desk guys at work are in the Philippines, I guess I could just ask them the next time I call.) --Funkychinaman (talk) 08:52, 2 October 2013 (EDT)

I just changed it. I'm trying to get rid of the -Produced/Filmed categories and replace them with just -Produced since the /Filmed part is a bit misleading. --Funkychinaman (talk) 10:14, 2 October 2013 (EDT)

Agents of SHIELD screenshots

Could you please reupload the screenshots you had previously uploaded for Agents of SHIELD with new filenames? Comparing screenshots, I would prefer to use yours than the ones that are currently up (yours appear to be sharper, despite the image size). Please rename your screenshots with the season and episode numbers before reuploading, such as for Season 1 Episode 1, you could put "MAOSS1E01 xxx". That way, it's easier to keep track of what episode the screenshots are from. I'll delete your previous screenshots once you've done these. Thanks. --Ben41 (talk) 14:34, 3 October 2013 (EDT)

Okey, well it was a big help anyway! By the way I've checked around and the gun in the picture labeled as Arminius HW-9ST is actually called the Arminius Windicator Allemagne, there is also one similar called Arminius HW-357 Target Trophy. --Thejoker (talk) 20:46, 8 October 2013 (EDT)

Zastava M70 in 'A Dangerous Man'

Thanks a lot! Believe it or not but I completely understand what you mean, life on IMFDB is so much easier now. As to the squarer shape of the Zastava M70 gas tube, I did some 'googling' and now I see what you mean. I found some images (folding sight DOWN and folding sight UP) that kind of say it all.

Re: Countdown (Lichnyy nomer)

Thanks for your comments, I believe you’re quite right on the pistol being a Skif Anics A-3000. Checked with other screenshots and we have a 100% match. As to your suggestion for the 2nd gun being a PDT-9T Esaul, I respectfully disagree somewhat. Judging by the typical ‘hooked’ front sight, I think it’s more likely to be a Kedr PP-91 / Klin PP-9. I just happened to notice this morning that these guns make an appearance in the movie so it’s probably the same prop. Thanks again, PeeWee055 (talk) 07:00, 19 November 2013 (EST)

Thanks for your comments but I stick with this being a real Kedr PP-91 / Klin PP-9. Reasons are that (a) it’s never seen fired so just for show and (b) the credits show that this movie was heavily supported by the Russian authorities and it shows lots of real Russian Sukhoi fighter jets, real Mil Mi-24 helicopters so I can imagine the Russian armed forces kindly supported a few guns as well for demo purpose to make the movie look cool, PeeWee055 (talk) 08:21, 20 November 2013 (EST)

Symbols

So let me get this straight, this just about symbols!? You don't need to revert my edits just cuz of that, you should instead, if you don't like it, you petty guys edit it in another way (remove "×" and put "x" and leave my edits), this only shows how lazy admins are. I don't know how do you do the "×" sign on U.S. keyboard, but on my typeboard, I just simply type it. I suggest you (or any other admin) revert Funkychinaman's revision and bring it back on mine, then I'll edit as you like it (since none of you wants). TitaniumAlloy (talk) 13:22, 28 November 2013 (EST)

Basically, sorry.

To say the least, automatic crossbow discussion was not only a case of doing before thinking and mindless arguing, but also it was pretty much offensive, especially for you. I really feel like I should say sorry for it. And I'm actually upper intermediate in English (I have some minor grammar problems but I'm well in a few other things and have a good vocabulary) - my writing style just degraded a little bit, because I was tired and feeling not that well yesterday so I really wrote it all wrong, especially putting Van Helsing in it. I should have researched for real cases well, at the very least. So I completely deserved the ban, Evil Tim put on me last evening. I have used it productively, though: today I just was roaming through "unidentified" category, identified quite a few things (plus a few other minor faults) and were using MS Word to write what I will upload now. I really hope to be more valuable for this site. Thanks. --Kloga (talk) 19:52, 18 December 2013 (EST)

Hey

Hey, I got a question: I heard that in real life, open bolt weapons do not need to be cocked after reloading an empty magazine (unless the trigger was held down after emptying the mag). Is it true for ALL open-bolt weapons? (including some like AA-12, MG3, M60, Thompson, etc)?
Also, the grenade launchers have a timer fuse to prevent it from exploding at short range, but is it also the case for the rocket launchers? (I heard that too). --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 11:36, 11 January 2014 (EST)

Thanks for your remarks about the G36C on The Hooligan Wars. I was wondering about the vent holes myself but before I could post a question, you kindly answered. One more thing, with you being from the UK, can you confirm that 'police officers' is a correct description for the UK law enforcement officers that are in the movie (esp. in the images for 'unidentified pistol' and the 'G36' variants)? I was tempted to say something like 'SWAT' but don't want to do so until more details are confirmed. Thanks for letting me know, PeeWee055 (talk) 12:37, 1 April 2014 (EDT)

Aspect ratios

I think 4:3 is the only aspect ratio fit for 500px. 16:9 is the standard HDTV ratio. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:08, 19 September 2014 (EDT)

I distinctly remember posting a wikipedia link to all the different aspect ratios, maybe it was for the screencapping guide. I was in favor of 700 for 2.4:1, but I think Ben was against it. And it would be a huge undertaking to fix all the existing pages. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:55, 19 September 2014 (EDT)

more info on the SL8

a long time ago you and I spoke about the SL8. Well, You have an eagle eye. One of the problems with pics I take is that they are definitely MOVIE GUNS, not perfect examples of the real world guns. Many times armorers update or 'fake' new models by making modifications for the projects (heck, if the producers or directors don't notice, then why not?). That is why I want to swap out a bunch of the mix and match gun pics I shot for the M16 series and some of the FN FAL series with examples that have all the correct items on them. But you know well, that we mix and match ALL the time. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing, since IMFDB IS a chronicle of guns in movies, not 'guns of the world'. Though it would probably be a good thing to have a perfect example of the 100% spot on version of the 'real world' version of the gun. On your eagle eye spotting of issues with the SL8. The scope rail IS a replacement one from an airsoft kit. The armorer whose gun I photographed, only recently mentioned that the original gun (When he acquire it) had different sights on it so he swapped out the long scope rail from his airsoft gun (for some sort of film, the title of which I don't know) and put it on the real gun. The scope rails are metal so I certainly could not tell. If I can, I can try to get a 100% real world version of that weapon in a pic, though that mockup did appear in 'something' already, I'm not sure what though.

Even in the days of communist rule I got on VHS movie Enemy with my favorite Tia Carrere in main role. It was about the third copy - the colors fell out and the outlines were unclear. For 25 years this movie not on DVD in Czech Republic! But in the US yes, and so too in Germany! On the net is a lot of people what he can for ridiculous a few euros to buy and do screens. I therefore suggested a title and waited, waited - in vain!

MG42 page

Hi there, you seem to be online so allow me to ask your help on what I think is a relatively simple matter. On the MG42 page, I added an Zastava M53 section and split the MG42 text to make it better readable.

Brügger & Thomet VP9

Hello, Commando552. Thanks for your attention and spotting/linking my mention of Brügger & Thomet VP9! I haven't noticed it is already on imfdb. Also, my sources mentioned the pistol is single-shot only, and only after your correction I was able to confirm it indeed has a 5 rounds magazine.

But also, I have noticed that the Brügger & Thomet company is now in fact named “B&T AG”. The contacts page on the official site uses the name “B&T AG”; also some sources like this one mention that the B&T AG is “formerly known” as “Brügger & Thomet”. So the company may have been renamed some time ago, and the page/references may require updating as well... but I wouldn't dare to dive into mass-imfdb-editing that much :) amyodov (talk) 16:37, 16 February 2016 (EST)

BO edit

Hi, I recently edited the Black Ops page, and since you were involved with the GAU-5A/A part I thought I'd let you know, in case there's any issues, since no exact clarification has been provided when I asked about it on the talk page (I should have probably asked you before making the edit, but well... better late than never). --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 07:05, 28 March 2018 (EDT)

Yeah, it was just to make sure whether it is or isn't actually a GAU-5A/A albeit customized with a flash hider and bolted on rail (as the latter appears to have been done on AR-15s in the late 80s and early 90s, as I mentioned in the talk page). As for the AK, you're right too, it's much more complex than I thought, and I kinda missed some of the details that you mentioned (and in response to what you said about the front sight, it does have an AKM-type sight). With those details, I see why the WASR was mentioned, even though it still lacks some of the in-game features. Btw as you're implying that the front sight of the current production AK-74 is different from that of the AKM, it's mainly due to the bayonet lug underneath it, right? Anyway, I'll leave the changes on the page up to you (or I can do them myself if you want). --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 13:07, 28 March 2018 (EDT)

Check my ID of the percussion rifle in the movie

Hello, Commando552! Excuse me, I have some question: how do you think, is my ID of the percussion full-leinght rifle is correct or not? Pyramid Silent (talk) 05:02, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Could use your help here

Sandbox

Since I can't edit your sandbox page, I'd figure I should probably just let you know: you've incorrectly tagged your sandbox as being in the "Gun", "Grenade Launcher", and "UBGL" categories; this's caused it to appear in several weapon lists where it really doesn't belong. If you could remove those category tags, I'd really appreciate it. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 17:06, 13 February 2019 (EST)

Thanks. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 20:54, 13 February 2019 (EST)

Photoshopped AR-15 images

Hello Commando552. I believe that some of the images you have uploaded to the M16 page are photoshopped images; for example, these two images below differ only by the length of the barrel, and the rest of the gun is completely identical, suggesting that one of them is a photoshopped image. However, the photoshopped images are not clearly marked as being photoshopped images, which can mislead IMFDB users into believing that the photoshopped guns are real guns. Would you kindly mark out all the photoshopped images on the M16 page with a "Photoshopped" marking in their image captions?

Additionally, do you know any other images on the M16 page uploaded by other users that are photoshopped images? --Wuzh (talk) 23:27, 27 June 2020 (EDT)

I see. I will remove all the "Possibly Photoshopped" markings from the official page for now. --Wuzh (talk) 19:13, 29 June 2020 (EDT)

Even though "Possibly Photoshopped" is removed because I agree with your point that they look dumb, I still do think it is useful to mark out photoshops; the fact that many companies use photoshopped gun images is more reason that we should do better than them and distinguish between real and edited gun images. The companies are for-profit, but IMFDB is all about being educational and informative. Identifying photoshopped images (including photoshopped official gun images) fits in with our aim to educate and inform, and hopefully would make our readers think more critically about gun images. --Wuzh (talk) 01:30, 4 July 2020 (EDT)

M24 topic

Hi. I want to ask, is there any input you could give in this topic? I'm trying to figure out if it's more appropriate to identify that gun as a customized Remington 700 rather than a modified M24 SWS. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 11:56, 14 January 2021 (EST)

L98A2

I didn't make that ID, someone else did. The source of the image is here, where someone was asking for an image of one. As for the description, I just copied it from the L98 section on the SA80 Wikipedia page, but I see where I used the wrong info about its operation. Spartan198 (talk) 15:04, 2 August 2021 (EDT)

4505 photo

Better quality photo. I've never cared for that one. --Jcordell (talk) 20:15, 18 August 2021 (EDT)

Okay if you want to keep it. Just so you are aware I'll keep looking for a better quality photo with the Novak sights to replace the old one with. That particular example looks like a redneck's truck gun--Jcordell (talk) 20:22, 18 August 2021 (EDT)
Okay that is a much better photo. I can stop looking now. Well done.--Jcordell (talk) 23:31, 20 August 2021 (EDT)

P90 Tactical & USG

Excuse me, would you mind to give some confirmation / clarification regarding questions about both P90 Tactical & USG which I left on Talk: FN P90? Because I noticed that you're one of the admins on IMFDB who may be better on giving confirmation / clarification on both of them for a video game called Insurgency: Sandstorm & so far no one has given inputs regarding them while the update will come on November 16th.

Proposal on reorganizing the AK-47 pages

Hello Commando552. Recently I've been working a proposed reorganization of the AK-47 and AK-74 pages by their producers rather than calibers; you can find details about it and the discussions surrounding it here. Earlier, when I discussed this proposal with funkychinaman over Discord, he recommended me to check in with you and hear about your opinions on my proposal, because he told me you are an expert on guns on the wiki. What do you think about my proposal? Does it work? What can be improved? --Wuzh (talk) 04:21, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
