Thanks for adding a shotgun image to the page. Only a single minor correction: please use "none", not "left", as this makes more correct page layout. With best wishes, [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 14:09, 15 January 2016 (EST)

== Quantity Limit ==
Please follow the rule of [[Rules,_Standards_and_Principles#Image_Rules:_Screenshots|Quantity Limit]]: "You should never have any reasons to post 10 screenshots of the same weapon over and over again." There is already more than ten images of Colt Navy and Winchester, and more are coming, so please reduce these number. For example, TRBL-CNAVY4.jpg and File:TRBL-CNAVY7.jpg show a very similar view of the same revolver, while TRBL-CNAVY5.jpg and TRBL-CNAVY8.jpg doesn't show the gun at all. Another example: TRBL-WIN 6.jpg is covered by a better view of the same scene on TRBL-WIN 7.jpg where the rifle is seen more clear. So please revise the screenshots and reduce their number to 10 images per gun. Thanks. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 03:46, 7 February 2016 (EST)

== RE: Last Action Hero ==
For the record I'm not sure what the difference is between the standard Bren Ten and the Peregren Falcon in the first place, so an elaboration would be nice there. That said, that image doesn't give us enough detail to distinguish the difference between the two; They both simply look like two-tone Bren Tens, and it's typically preferred we use a higher quality image of something close than a poor image that's exact unless the latter is all we have. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 16:47, 26 July 2016 (EDT)
The difference beetween the standard and the Peregrine Falcon is a decocker lever on the slide and an ambidextrous frame mounted safety. The only clue I have to  distinguish it is the stepping in the frame.

Here you can see the circled parts are unique to the Peregrine Falcon. However I'm wondering how the armorers got the Bren Ten Peregrine Falcon,since, as far as I know,was only produced in a couple of prototypes.

Welcome to IMFDB

Before you do any editing please take the time to read the Rules, Standards and Principles. This is a very important document that explains how this website is setup as well as telling you what is and isn't allowed. If it is determined by an admin that you have not read these rules, your account will be suspended. Continued non-compliance may result in a permanent ban. After that you should also read the IMFDB Screencapping Guide and the IMFDB Style Guide to familiarize yourself with the image and formatting requirements for pages you create.

There are a number of pages that desperately need your help. You can find these Incomplete pages here.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here but make sure to sign your post by typing --~~~~.
