The point regarding the actors' sensibilities I normally wouldn't care about, but it is a valid point as well, and as MPM said, in a lot of cases they aren't expert shooters, so I agree it's fair to cut 'em some slack.

Nothing But Trouble
I redid a few of the screencaps. There's a few I missed on the first go around. The PPK, etc. So I'll get them later. --Predator20 00:31, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- Alright, I think I got them all. I got a bunch of DVDs that don't have pages. But it takes a lot of time taking the caps, uploading and writing the text. It was easy doing what I just did, since most of the hard work was already done by you. --Predator20 01:08, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- So I do the work and you take the glory. Bah, just kiddin, man, I really appreciate the help.
- I try to do that as much as I can. :) --Predator20 02:15, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Personal Weapons
I'd like to eventually get an AR15, M1A, and maybe an IMI Galil ARM (.308) maybe an AR180 too. I got a S&W 4505, Beretta 92FS Inox and another Hi-Power too. Just haven't updated my page. A Ruger SP101 is next on my list. My revolver collection is pathetic. --Predator20 02:15, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- Good choices there too.
Eyes closed
A few months ago the administrators passed a note around to the main users of the site; about not commenting on actors firing with their eyes closed, crappy grip etc. So I removed the text on the NBT page when she fires the Mini-14. Here is the message below. --Predator20 03:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm asking all members to stop with the sarcastic comments in the screencap descriptions: Too many members feel it's funny to be extremely sarcastic about actor's shooting stance, their blinking, their pistol grips. Only if it's so over the top as for the average person to notice, then don't keep on harping on it. Most actors are given only a bare amount of time to train, if at all. Many times the editor picks the worst take for pistol grip, but best take for other reasons like acting. Also much of the blame falls on the director.
