I've uploaded an image which makes the similarity clearer; sure, it's a very blocky G36K with a lot of parts either completely wrong or at least oddly placed [like the whole trigger group and reciever being dropped down by the width of the barrel shroud], but then the AR34 and Sniper Rifle are hardly going to win awards for being faithful reproductions of the FAMAS and WA2000 either.

*There's plenty of resemblance. If you take into account that the whole rear of the gun is dropped by the width of the shroud, the trigger group and magazine well are very close.

*Similar, yes, but the kicker is that the Falcon 2 was obviously designed with reference to a ''specific'' movie prop, so the resemblance to the Double Eagle is probably just because the Hardballer ''also'' looks like a Double Eagle. Colour the lever at the back of the Hardballer's slide black, and you get a black area the same shape as the grip of the Falcon 2. [[User:Dongs|Dongs]] 02:05, 2 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

Re: LAR Grizzly
The LAR Grizzly Big-Bore is indeed a single-shot rifle, you have to reload after each shot. This can be seen in Tremors 2: Aftershocks when Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) loads the rifle. Orca1 9904 01:06, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- Interesting, thanks -User:AdAstra2009
I will try. I don't have one or access to one now, but I am visiting some of my peers who may have one. I have your pic request on my 'list of things to do'. best regards MoviePropMaster2008 01:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Perfect Dark
I was wondering why you removed the Heckler & Koch AG36 and the grenade launcher variant from Perfect Dark? Sci Fi Gunner 18:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: America's Army
Actually, if you look at the magazine curve of the AK-103/GP-30 compared to the magazines of the AKS-74U below it on the table, you'll see that the magazine loaded in the top AK is more curved than the AKS-74U's mags. As for the sniper rifle, the stock and handguard design match those of the FPK/PSL, which are noticably different than those of the Dragunov. Below are images of both rifles to show the differences:

Hulk
It's cool that you screencapped Hulk, but the page layout does not meet IMFDB standards. Please fix? -MT2008 23:56, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- What I mean is that the page needs:
- (1.) Proper grammar and capitalization throughout, including the gun names ("Beretta 92fs"?)
- (2.) Descriptions of the gun's use in the movie and, with it, links to the gun pages.
- (3.) Pictures of the guns individually.
- For instance, look at my page for The Incredible Hulk to see how I did it. When in doubt, you can always hit "edit" on another page and then copy-and-paste code for the guns as they appear on those pages. I'll help if you need it. Thanks. -MT2008 21:11, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Great work on Dawn of the Dead(1978)
Great work. Looks good.
Smith & wesson 916A
Do you want a gun photograph of a S&W 916A? I have one in the warehouse, but it will take a few weeks to get to it MoviePropMaster2008 02:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Dragon is indeed a G36K
I've uploaded an image which makes the similarity clearer; sure, it's a very blocky G36K with a lot of parts either completely wrong or at least oddly placed [like the whole trigger group and reciever being dropped down by the width of the barrel shroud], but then the AR34 and Sniper Rifle are hardly going to win awards for being faithful reproductions of the FAMAS and WA2000 either.

The Falcon 2 is clearly M1911-derived, and only looks more like the Double Eagle because it's extremely similified; the identical sight indicates it's based on the AMT Hardballer Longslide from Terminator, so that's what should go there.
