== White Tiger ==


Sorry, your last edit in Tiger I Tank section is a little incorrect. The exact replica of Tiger was build specially for filming, but due to some reasons it was completed too late and wasn't used, while the screen Tiger is a vismodded IS-2. So the caption for Belyy tigr-Tiger.jpg "Replica of the German Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I tank which must was be used in the film" is correct, this image is of the proposed screen tank but not of the one that really appeared on screen.

Hi, I uploaded this picture ...[[Image:Spider-man-far-from-home-cobie-smulders-samuel-l-jackson-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|]] ... that I ment to use on the [[Spider-Man: Far From Home]] page but when I had uploaded it I noticed some information about copywright was attached to the file, so I am now unshure if I can use this picture. I'm not a native English speaker or know very much about copywright rules so if you could help me and tell me if I can use that picture on the page or not I would be very grateful.

==Timecop Custom Assault Pistol==
==Stranger Things Season 3==
I finished the page, guess we both decided to screencap it.--[[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] ([[User talk:Mandolin|talk]]) 15:46, 6 July 2019 (EDT)


Hey, I am glad you finally made a page for these guns. However, I am not sure that "Timecop Custom Assault Pistol" is a good name for them because as far as I can tell, Felcan Enterprises (the armory that owns the guns) built them long before ''Timecop''. Those guns appeared in episodes of ''[[The X-Files]]'' and ''[[The Highlander]]'' (the 1992 TV series) before they were in ''Timecop''.
== 21 Jump Street ==


I think we should just go ahead and give the guns a name. Since they were made by Tom Felcan's company, we should call them the "Felcan MP" or something like that. Also, keep in mind that there are two variants of the gun - long- and short-barreled versions. I propose that we call them "Felcan MP" and "Felcan MP-C". It will be a lot easier than writing out, "Timecop Custom Assault Pistol" for every page on which they appear. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 13:08, 16 January 2015 (EST)
I purposely replaced the two screencaps of the page since it's norm to have full-sized/non-cropped screenshots. I assume that you reverted them due to the big presence of the F-word, but... do we really enforce censoring curse words? As far as I've seen, censoring them is not a common practice on this site (unlike nudity), although I could be wrong. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 08:22, 6 July 2019 (EDT)
:Fair enough. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 06:10, 8 July 2019 (EDT)


:Also, a lot of the information you wrote in the summary is not correct. Tom Felcan used to have fake MP5Ks in their inventory, but those guns are a different type of weapon, and Felcan is a Canadian armory, so import restrictions in the U.S. are irrelevant. I will re-write the summary in a bit. Still, this is a good start, and I am glad we have a page for those guns now. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 13:16, 16 January 2015 (EST)
==Once Upon A Time In Hollywood==
Some of your pictures for the page aren't showing up for some reason, I can't figure out why--[[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] ([[User talk:Mandolin|talk]]) 12:57, 2 August 2019 (EDT)


::You raise a good point - they could have been made for ''[[Timecop]]'' and used on those shows before filming on ''[[Timecop]]'' began. But I'm still skeptical because there are two versions of the gun, and only one version appears in ''[[Timecop]]'' (the short-barreled version). I doubt that they would have built two types of guns for the same movie if only one type actually appeared in the film, though I suppose it's not impossible. But I still suspect they were made for another sci-fi movie that we haven't seen yet.
== SIMON rifle grenade in Terminator Genisys ==


::I still think we should name the guns just so that we don't have to refer to them as "Timecop Custom Assault Pistol" constantly. It's too awkward to write out, and the guns have been in so many movies and TV shows that I think they qualify for a fictional name. Kinda like the way we refer to the rifles from ''[[Deep Rising]]'' as the M1-L1 (their name in that movie) on that weapon's page - and those guns were also built by Tom Felcan's armorers. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 13:36, 16 January 2015 (EST)
A SIMON rifle grenade seems to have appeared in [[Terminator: Genisys]], fired by Sarah out of a helicopter in the middle of the film. I think you missed that in your screencaps.  --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 00:15, 9 September 2019 (EDT)
[[File:SIMON.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SIMON door-breaching rifle grenade]]


:::Yeah, I realize you were following that convention, but this is a case where I think the name you chose would just be too awkward. Plus, the name on the page fails to distinguish between the two variants of the gun. As Stan and I agree, we need to have a name that makes it easy to distinguish between them.
== Re:Continuing on 1985 MacGyver ==


:::Compare the two pictures that you posted - the short-barreled version is the one that appears in ''[[Crying Freeman]]'', while the long-barreled version was in ''[[Smallville]]''. Both guns use the same lower receiver and magazine well, but the long-barreled version (Felcan MP) has a front sight, which the short-barreled version (MP-C) lacks. The MP also seems to have a flash hider as standard, while the MP-C only has a MAC-10-style threaded barrel (though in ''[[Timecop]]'', it has a custom barrel shroud). You can also see other distinctions - see how the front of the receiver on the MP has four elongated slits, while the MP-C has six holes? The back of the receiver on the MP is also longer than the MP-C.
Well, yes and no. Thing is, the blu-ray editions of 1985 incarnation are coming and the image quality of the PAL DVD collection I have is so "acceptable to unworkable" that it tends to make firearm identification harder than necessary. I see you have dumped the archived data on Season 5 and 6, but currently, I keep that stuff in discussion. [[Talk:MacGyver (1985) - Season 2|I have some stuff already at Season 2's discussion page.]] But if you have yearning to do all the other seasons, I won't stop you. But once blu-rays of all the seasons are out, I'll get back to work with more conviction. [[User:TrickShotFinn|TrickShotFinn]] ([[User talk:TrickShotFinn|talk]]) 04:14, 12 September 2019 (EDT)


:::(And you will notice how much easier it is for me to have a conversation about these guns when I am calling them "MP" and "MP-C" - hence my preference for giving them a name with variant distinctions). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 13:57, 16 January 2015 (EST)
== Splitting up the Star Wars pages ==


::::Compare these two silhouette views:
I am planning to split all the Star Wars "trilogy" pages into their individual film pages. The current format makes it difficult for readers to tell what weapons are found in each of the individual movies, and it's an unnecessary deviation from the format of the rest of the wiki. There is some support for this as can be seen on the [[Talk:Star_Wars|Star Wars talk page]]. Seeing as you created the "trilogy" format originally, are you OK with me splitting up these pages? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 18:03, 1 December 2019 (EST)
:I don't have any new screenshots. This split is purely splitting up the images that we have. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 20:44, 1 December 2019 (EST)
:: I'll just split out The Rise of Skywalker for now. It's unreleased anyways. I'll see if there is a way to get some of the screencaps that you want. No guarantees.  --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 21:16, 1 December 2019 (EST)


::::[[Image:Viper-SMG-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Felcan MP.]]
I've been dissuaded from splitting up the prequel trilogy page by commando552; as for the original trilogy, I put that on hold because I was busy with schoolwork back then. I am going to split up the original trilogy page soon. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 18:49, 11 February 2020 (EST)

::::See what I mean? You can tell that the top gun has a longer barrel and receiver than the bottom version. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 14:05, 16 January 2015 (EST)
==Luke Cage==
Greetings! I added a lot of firearms to the [[Luke Cage - Season 2]] article. Considering that you are its main contibutor, I was wondering if you could help identifying the guns. Thank you very much in advance.--[[User:Shabook|Shabook]] ([[User talk:Shabook|talk]]) 07:30, 4 May 2020 (EDT)


:::::Either way, it means that there are essentially two versions of the gun with different upper receiver units, so I think we'll want to distinguish between them. Same as we would for MP5 variants, for instance (i.e. an MP5A2 and MP5A3 are the same gun with different stock types). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 14:21, 16 January 2015 (EST)

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Talk:Heavy_Fire:_Afghanistan


I'm done.. But I'm not! Well sorta. First off, I never think you're totally done on these kinds of things.. That said, I have finished the main pages especially the images and all (despite having to go back and get an episode worth of screencaps because my old computer, which for months I've been waiting to get back online, and did for a couple weeks, took a total shit on me the other day and might be fried for good.. Bah). Mostly the last set of cross linkings/listings for the gun pages and stuff is what's left, also toying with putting the Infoboxes on the pages.. We'll see. Otherwise, I've got the series pages more-or-less as complete as can be at this point, and I certainly am proud and happy about that. Hopefully we can get HD images for all of it in due course and we'll be totally tip-top. Meantime, though, I'm quite happy with what we got right now. I wanna thank you again for the help you've given on this, with the template and the HD caps for the first two seasons. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 21:52, 9 February 2015 (EST)

Do you have a lot of images you're planning to upload for this one? I only ask 'cause I watched it at the start of the month and took quite a few caps myself - They're HD caps and should look good once I finalize them proper - Just haven't had time to mess with it the last few days. If you plan on doing (or have done) a wide screencapping here it's good - Load 'em up and if there's any I got that you didn't do, I'll load those. If you got 'em all, no biggie. It's fine either way to me, just a heads up would be good. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 00:09, 10 March 2015 (EDT)
: Just started looking at my batch when I noticed a slight issue - It seems the streaming version has the film cropped to a 16:9 ratio and not 2.35:1 as the actual release.. I still got some good sharp images though, so I think I'll go ahead and load them up anyway.

Hello Ben41. As you may know, recently me and several other IMFDB users have been trying to find ways to resolve issues related to IMFDB accounts reported by several off-site IMFDB users (more details [[Talk:Main_Page#Issues_with_IMFDB_Accounts_Reported_by_Multiple_Users|here]]). We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them. Especially since a similar attempt to contact bunni back in 2021, posted directly on their [[User_talk:Bunni#Regarding_a_user|talk page]], did not receive any replies.

I have been suspecting that the contributions made by bunni the account, which since at least the last year have consisted exclusively of creating new user pages, is an automated process, and that bunni the user is actually no longer an active user of IMFDB. This makes it far more difficult to contact bunni, in turn making it far harder to resolve the issues related to account creation that we're currently facing. Do you, or anyone else in the IMFDB staff community, know of a more direct to contact bunni the user? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 20:34, 17 July 2022 (EDT)

Wild Bill's revolver cannot be identified at all, and two other unidentified guns have more chance to be identified when they are on the movie page, as I don't think that many users scan talk pages in case there is something unidentified. At least we have a category ''Unidentified‏‎'' but discussion pages doesn't appear there while movie pages do. I still think that unidentified firearms must retain on the pages.

:I agree that it's a good practice when the page is recently created, and numerous users visit it and discuss the problematic weapons. But I'm not so sure when it concerns a page that is here for some time (sometimes a very long time). But OK, let it be if you think that it's a better way. Maybe in such case it's worth to add the talk page to ''Unidentified‏‎'' category? [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 16:49, 7 May 2015 (EDT)
 
== Actor's page ==
 
I'm sorry, I don't know: should I create page for actor, who holds only one firearm in only one movie or TV series (but, probably can holds more in other movies and TV series). But all actors that I marked <nowiki>[[]]</nowiki> holds firearm in this TV series. [[User:Pyramid Silent|Pyramid Silent]] ([[User talk:Pyramid Silent|talk]]) 06:33, 9 May 2015 (EDT)
 
==Re: Suicide Squad==
You previously deleted my Suicide Squad page for the reason that the weapons in the promo images might not appear in the film itself. However set photo's have been leaked that show the cast members using the weapons from the promo images, while the set photos are not official, they have been taken while filming, confirming that the weapons will in fact be used, is it okay now to re-instate the page using the official promo images (Not the unofficial on set photos)? --[[User:RedRobinAlpha|RedRobinAlpha]] ([[User talk:RedRobinAlpha|talk]]) 17:18, 11 May 2015 (GMT)
 
==RE: MI-5==
I'm currently capping from Netflix, it will take me a while, but I am planning to cap the entire 10 seasons of the show, am uploading as I go so I don't forget what I have and haven't uploaded, sorry about changing the title, completely forgot it was called MI-5 in the US, hope I changed it correctly (one of my first title changes) --[[User:RedRobinAlpha|RedRobinAlpha]] ([[User talk:RedRobinAlpha|talk]]) 01:51 12 May 2015 (GMT)
:Yeah don't worry I have every intention of getting the whole show up, it was one my favourites during my teens but I missed the last few seasons, so this is my chance to catch up with it and contribute more here, two birds, one stone. --[[User:RedRobinAlpha|RedRobinAlpha]] ([[User talk:RedRobinAlpha|talk]]) 01:57 12 May 2015 (GMT)

That percussion pistol isn't a "Dueling Pistol" - it has a belt-hook, which would never be present on a "Dueling PIstol" (It's actually doubtful if many or indeed any pairs of pistols were primarily intended for dueling anyway. Gentlemen's quality pistols were sold in pairs, often cased. They could be used for dueling and some of course were but they weren't marketed as such, they were just pairs of pistols.) That pistol is sold in repro form by Lymans as a Plains Pistol, a workmanlike un-fancy frontiersman's weapon.
 
==Re: Screen Used==
Sorry, didn't know we had a category for that. I'll go through and add my images to it.--[[User:Quarax|Quarax]] ([[User talk:Quarax|talk]]) 16:48, 18 May 2015 (EDT)
 
:I created the template <nowiki>{{SU}}</nowiki> to make it easier to add images to the category.--[[User:Quarax|Quarax]] ([[User talk:Quarax|talk]]) 21:02, 18 May 2015 (EDT)

Colt XSE links

... but the Colt XSE link does't link to anything, not even the Colt Rail Gun. Instead, the Colt Rail Gun link links to Colt XSE, and Colt XSE links to itself, and none of them directs to the actual page with the Colt Rail Gun. What is going on with the redirect here? --Wuzh (talk) 02:42, 13 February 2019 (EST)

P2000

I undid the edits on Girl in the Spider's Web, The, as it is definetly not USP, no safety, which is distinct feature of USP. It is P2000 with a customized rail, it seems

login issues

It's a storage issue. We're out again. Might try an upgrade tomorrow night since I have Monday off. --bunni (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2019 (EDT)

Yes, was out of memory again. I've made some tweaks that will buy a couple weeks but the site actually needs to move to completely new hardware. I won't be able to do that until the 17th of June. --bunni (talk) 00:54, 9 June 2019 (EDT)

Uploaded picture

Hi, I uploaded this picture ...

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

... that I ment to use on the Spider-Man: Far From Home page but when I had uploaded it I noticed some information about copywright was attached to the file, so I am now unshure if I can use this picture. I'm not a native English speaker or know very much about copywright rules so if you could help me and tell me if I can use that picture on the page or not I would be very grateful.

Stranger Things Season 3

I finished the page, guess we both decided to screencap it.--Mandolin (talk) 15:46, 6 July 2019 (EDT)

21 Jump Street

I purposely replaced the two screencaps of the page since it's norm to have full-sized/non-cropped screenshots. I assume that you reverted them due to the big presence of the F-word, but... do we really enforce censoring curse words? As far as I've seen, censoring them is not a common practice on this site (unlike nudity), although I could be wrong. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 08:22, 6 July 2019 (EDT)

Fair enough. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 06:10, 8 July 2019 (EDT)

Some of your pictures for the page aren't showing up for some reason, I can't figure out why--Mandolin (talk) 12:57, 2 August 2019 (EDT)

SIMON rifle grenade in Terminator Genisys

A SIMON rifle grenade seems to have appeared in Terminator: Genisys, fired by Sarah out of a helicopter in the middle of the film. I think you missed that in your screencaps. --Wuzh (talk) 00:15, 9 September 2019 (EDT)

Re:Continuing on 1985 MacGyver

Well, yes and no. Thing is, the blu-ray editions of 1985 incarnation are coming and the image quality of the PAL DVD collection I have is so "acceptable to unworkable" that it tends to make firearm identification harder than necessary. I see you have dumped the archived data on Season 5 and 6, but currently, I keep that stuff in discussion. I have some stuff already at Season 2's discussion page. But if you have yearning to do all the other seasons, I won't stop you. But once blu-rays of all the seasons are out, I'll get back to work with more conviction.

Splitting up the Star Wars pages

I am planning to split all the Star Wars "trilogy" pages into their individual film pages. The current format makes it difficult for readers to tell what weapons are found in each of the individual movies, and it's an unnecessary deviation from the format of the rest of the wiki. There is some support for this as can be seen on the Star Wars talk page. Seeing as you created the "trilogy" format originally, are you OK with me splitting up these pages? --Wuzh (talk) 18:03, 1 December 2019 (EST)

I don't have any new screenshots. This split is purely splitting up the images that we have. --Wuzh (talk) 20:44, 1 December 2019 (EST)
I'll just split out The Rise of Skywalker for now. It's unreleased anyways. I'll see if there is a way to get some of the screencaps that you want. No guarantees. --Wuzh (talk) 21:16, 1 December 2019 (EST)

I've been dissuaded from splitting up the prequel trilogy page by commando552; as for the original trilogy, I put that on hold because I was busy with schoolwork back then. I am going to split up the original trilogy page soon. --Wuzh (talk) 18:49, 11 February 2020 (EST)

Luke Cage

Greetings! I added a lot of firearms to the Luke Cage - Season 2 article. Considering that you are its main contibutor, I was wondering if you could help identifying the guns. Thank you very much in advance.--Shabook (talk) 07:30, 4 May 2020 (EDT)

Request

Hi Ben, please change my username to Mirko. (bunni declined my request to make a new account) Can you also confirm that this is a Kel Tec P11? Trailer Park Boys#Unknown 2

Thanks --Slum 5050 (talk) 17:38, 16 October 2020 (EDT)

Hi again I have an issue. E-mails aren't being sent to me by the site. Bunni actually did accept my request and I should have received an account creation password email on the 12th and never got it , and tonight I've sent 'reset your password' to both of my emails and still nothing.--Slum 5050 (talk) 21:31, 16 October 2020 (EDT)

Screenshot Request

Howdy! I've added the M1 Garand to Fargo Season 4 & supplied screenshots, but they're not the best quality. It seems you may have a better source than I do. I was wondering if you could perhaps update the screenshots. These were taken from "The Pretend War" (S4E04) starting at about 15:10 minutes in. It is very odd that the weapons being discussed & shown here are M1 Garands, however, they are never seen again after this scene. --RealEveryDay (talk) 12:27, 23 November 2020 (EST)
I probably will update. Thanks for the details. --Ben41 (talk) 19:06, 24 November 2020 (EST)
Dude, thank you SO much for updating those screencaps for the Garand on Fargo season 4! You literally pulled the same frames I used! Well done. I appreciate your professionalism! o7 RealEveryDay (talk) 16:15, 6 December 2020 (EST)

The Stand (2020)

Still a few innocuous scoped hunting rifles to screencap and there is a shot of Norris (Nicholas Lea) issuing what appears to be Glock 17 pistols to the newly organized Boulder Free Zone Police in episode nine: "The Circle Closes". Glad you have the ability to screencap the streaming services. Huge help. --Jcordell (talk) 11:55, 15 February 2021 (EST)

I've heavily improved the deleted Heavy Fire Afghanistan page, is it acceptable to add as a "Main" page now instead of just a preserved code Talk page?

Contacting bunni

Hello Ben41. As you may know, recently me and several other IMFDB users have been trying to find ways to resolve issues related to IMFDB accounts reported by several off-site IMFDB users (more details here). We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them. Especially since a similar attempt to contact bunni back in 2021, posted directly on their talk page, did not receive any replies.

I have been suspecting that the contributions made by bunni the account, which since at least the last year have consisted exclusively of creating new user pages, is an automated process, and that bunni the user is actually no longer an active user of IMFDB. This makes it far more difficult to contact bunni, in turn making it far harder to resolve the issues related to account creation that we're currently facing. Do you, or anyone else in the IMFDB staff community, know of a more direct to contact bunni the user? --Wuzh (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2022 (EDT)

S.W.A.T Season 6 Episode 1 & 2

What happen to the firearms from the two part premiere of S.W.A.T Season 6 episodes 1 & 2? Because I known most of the rifles in those episodes were AK variants.

Please don't perform cut-and-paste page moves

When fixing the broken titled pages, you should use the "Move" tool found under the "More ˅" menu next to the edit button. Do not copy all the contents of a page and paste them into a new page; not only is this much more work, it also causes breaks in page histories that might cause further issues down the line.--Wuzh (talk) 18:30, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

How do I make a page?

I've decided to make a Die Hard Arcade page and I'm not sure if I should make a Elevator Action Returns page so I would like to ask for advice. --Mojo72400 (talk) 12:27, 18 February 2023 (PST)

Okay if I create a new page for UFO Aftermath? I have taken screenshots and uploaded them, the lack of which seems to be the reason the original page was deleted.: https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/User:Samz/Sandbox --Samz (talk) 15:30, 30 March 2023 (PST)

Filipino movies featured for independence day

Hi! I would like to ask if we could feature a selection of Filipino movies on the Main Page for the week of Philippine Independence Day (June 11 to 17). It would be really nice if Filipino cinema gets some recognition, even if it's only for just a week. Thank you! (also, thank you for featuring the Fatman page last Christmas!) --Dnkakusei (talk) 05:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Changing the title of "M83 Smoke Grenade" to "M83 smoke grenade"

Hey Ben. Tried to do a redirect from "M83 Smoke Grenade" to "M83 smoke grenade" since the latter already exists. Ultimate94ninja advised me to seek out a moderator (or admin) to make the change. So I'm here to ask for help on the matter. Ominae (talk) 02:31, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
