Hello, '''Caleko'''! Your ask user '''Commando552''', how he know about weapons, that don't present at IMFDB. It's not very hard. Commando help me to ID [[Murata Rifle]] in the film ''[[Yellow Fangs]]'' that wasn't apperas at the IMFDB before it. I'm ID the [[Adams Revolver]] in the anime ''[[Case Closed: The Phantom of Baker Street]]''. If the gun are clearly seen, it's not very difficult. Also, may you help me to ID [[Desert Punk#Unknown Pistol 1|this pistol]]: | |||

Well Commando 552, I never said it actually was a flare gun, just that it resembles one. Jacob does fire it into the air to get the attention of some enemies, so I figured a flare gun would have been a good guess.

It looks slightly too large in the hand, but they probably just scaled up the model because they thought it looked better.

Hi, just a reminder regarding in-game screenshots: it isn't a good idea to give them vague names such as "Hand cannon.jpg". You should state the game in which the weapon is seen; an appropriate name for that specific image would be "Fortnite Hand Cannon.jpg". --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 10:52, 19 July 2018 (EDT) | |||

Firearms, that don't exist on the IMFDB
Hello, Caleko! Your ask user Commando552, how he know about weapons, that don't present at IMFDB. It's not very hard. Commando help me to ID Murata Rifle in the film Yellow Fangs that wasn't apperas at the IMFDB before it. I'm ID the Adams Revolver in the anime Case Closed: The Phantom of Baker Street. If the gun are clearly seen, it's not very difficult. Also, may you help me to ID this pistol:

- As for the Colt Derringer, I just so happened to know about it (i think only because of previous research I had done on the Colt 3rd Model Derringer). Pyramid Silent, you are correct in saying that it isn't hard, but only if you already know what the gun is. If you don't know then it can be pretty damn difficult involving a lot of looking through various websites, books, auction sites and still not being able to come up with a match.
