: Yes this might be an indie series, but that doesn't instantly disqualify it. I believe this series meets all the necessary requirements listed on the [[Rules, Standards and Principles]] page.

Does this series even have real firearms? These all look like airsoft weapons. Also, this is really only on YouTube. Should it count? --Ben41 (talk) 05:07, 6 November 2014 (EST)
- I think it fails the Must contain at least one real firearm test, definitely. The Wierd It (talk) 06:14, 6 November 2014 (EST)
