[[Image:Rifle Springfield M1903A4 with M84 sight.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[M1903 Springfield]] - Hell yeah, I love the look of the Springfield rifles. Sure, the bolt action can be a little bit clumsy if you are fighting in trenches, but if you are fighting underneath sufficient cover, you can still squeeze off your 5 rounds and put them on the targets.]]

Political Views: The day you take away my guns is the day you will have to pry them out of my cold, dead fingers...
Who am I?
I guess to start this off, my name is Josh, and I hail from the hot and sunny state of California. Yeah, yeah, I know... One of the most pro-liberal states in the union with crazy wildfires, shit weather, restrictive gun laws, and will supposedly fall into the ocean and join Hawaii in 2012...
Ok, ok, now that I got those god-awful jokes out of my system, I guess I will tell you more about myself...
I am your average-joe Southern California resident who happens to be a gun-lover. I first discovered this site in the winter of 2009 when I was searching for what kind of handgun the Joker used in the film The Dark Knight, and after a time of some anonymous editing of a few pages and picture captions, I decided to create an account here on IMFDB for the hell of it. I enjoy this site and I think it has one of the best insights as to what kinds of firearms were used in movies.
I currently do not own any firearms, but I have handled and fired several different firearms throughout most of my life (from simple hunting rifles to modern handguns). I am also an airsofter and I currently own 6 airsoft firearms; a shotgun and 5 pistols.
I guess the only things left for me to say is that most of the time, I am a fun-loving guy and I don't mind making new friends or having friendly discussions or debates about guns or movies. I will stick around this site for a bit and help out on the articles that need work where it is needed (But I am sorry to say that I will not be able to provide any screencaps for pages that need fixing or need to be built. I just don't have the necessary program to do this. Sorry). Other than that, feel free to hit me up on any questions or discussions that you guys want to have with me.
Pages that I have worked on/edited
Batman: Gotham Knight - The page looked very good, I commend whoever got the good screenshots from the film, the only thing it was lacking was some picture captions that were relevant to the film, so I took the liberty to add some back when I was an anonymous editor.
The Boondocks - I took the liberty to add some additional captions to the page's images.
Hot Fuzz - I added some picture captions to that page back when I was an anonymous editor. Although they have probably been removed by now if people think I was 'insulting' the actors with my picture captions. Which I wasn't to begin with... oh well...
Friday - The picture captions were kind of half-assed and they did not give a thorough description, especially on two pictures that were about 2 firearms that were shown to appear in the movie. So I took the liberty to fix up the picture captions. And thanks to User:Predator20 for adding in a movie poster!
High School of the Dead - There were a few lacking pictures in the firearms descriptions, and I decided to edit some of the picture captions so that they would be relevant to the images.
Zombies of Mass Destruction - I worked on putting captions for the images on that page. Whoever created the page, I commend you. But could you have done a better job on the screencaps?
Left 4 Dead - Did a few minor edits here and there
Left 4 Dead 2 - Did some minor edits here and there on this page too.
Battle: Los Angeles - Fixed a few sloppy looking areas on the page, and added a notice letting first-time viewers know that all the images on the page are screencaps from the film's first trailer unless otherwise noted.
Zombieland - I took the liberty to fix up the page a little bit.
Lock 'n Load With R. Lee Ermey - Probably one of the best TV shows where the host is a former U.S. Marines gunnery sergeant (and won almost every medal in the book).
Future Weapons - Watching the next generation of weapons in action it pretty cool.
Black Lagoon - A pretty funny gunslinging anime where the whole attitude of the show fits the overall page description that is here on the site.
High School of the Dead - Eh, this show is pretty good for it's zombie theme, but did there have to be SO MUCH fanservice?
Band of Brothers - This was such a good TV series about World War II.
The Walking Dead - Wow. Interesting TV show about a zombie infestation!
Favorite Videogames
Left 4 Dead - What the videogame adaptation of the film 28 Days Later would be like
Left 4 Dead 2 - Very good sequel to the previous game
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - A very well done videogame about a possible war happening in our time, and it FINALLY took players out of the World War II setting (Not that it's a bad thing, but it was getting old after awhile)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Awesome sequel! And it's a videogame that deals with that hypothetical war that could happen one day between the United States and Russia
Call of Duty: Black Ops - Wow, this one was pretty damn good. Maybe not as great as MW2, but it is still a great game
Favorite Firearms
Least favorite firearms
Things I generally cannot stand
Liberals (mainly the anti-gun ones)
Activists of ANY KIND
Extremists of ANY KIND
Anything or Anyone who denounces guns as "the root of all evils" and wants or campaigns for them to be "banned"
PETA
Ignorance of ANY KIND (Whether or not it occurs online or offline)
Anti-hunting campaigners
Anti-Americans of ANY KIND (More specifically, the MANY, and I mean MANY people who were not even born here yet they come into this county only to cheat the system and talk about how much they hate America and how it sucks. You know, if you don't like this country, then move the fuck out of here if it doesn't suit your best interests.)
The corruption within the government of this country
Anyone who frowns upon airsoft guns being 'children's toys', and telling airsofters to 'grow up and buy a real gun'. (NEWSFLASH MORONS: Airsoft comes close to mimicking the real deal! So much that now the United States Military and Law Enforcement here trains with airsoft FIRST before handling, using, and firing the real deal. So if you are gonna go out of your way to tell me to 'grow up and get a real gun, airsoft noob', then it is YOU who needs to grow the fuck up and get your facts straight.)
People who say that "guns kill people" (Are you serious? Saying that a machine kills people is just as ignorant as saying that a pencil will make spelling errors. A gun WON'T kill a person unless someone picks it up, disengages the safety, and fires it. Just like a pencil won't make spelling errors unless someone picks up the damn pencil and writes with it.)
Uwe Boll and Paul Anderson videogame films, and any other shitty videogame film that completely trashes the original source material (Except for a few that could be classified as "good", which are NOT the ones made by UB or PWSA). (But come on folks... SOMEONE out there needs to tell Hollywood to either STOP making these shitty films, or actually hire directors, producers, writers, and actors with some ACTUAL FUCKING TALENT, and make these adaptations into something GOOD)
People who protest by causing destruction and mayhem. (In this case, when protesters begin to cause mayhem, destruction, and hurt innocent people in the name of whatever they are trying to protest, then they just gave up their 1st Amendment rights and deserve a rubber bullet to the face for their stupidity)
California's bullshit liberal gun laws and firearms restrictions imposed upon the law-abiding citizens of this state who will soon be left with nothing to defend themselves with (like myself), while the criminals and psychos will still get their hands on guns anyway.
The politicians and anti-gunners who are labeling the law-abiding gun owners as "domestic terrorists" and how they are the apparent "causes" of Mexico's terrorism and drug cartel war... EXCUSE ME?! How the fuck are the law-abiding citizens of the UNITED STATES the causes of Mexico's drug war?! They are below us you fucking morons! Their laws are not our laws! So how the fuck are the law-abiding citizens of this country responsible for the shit going on down below us? Hmm?
People (mainly the politicians of the U.N.) who view Blackwater Worldwide (Now known as Xe Services LLC) as some sort of "mercenary group" full of psychotic war vets with tattoos, unkempt beards and state-of-the-art weaponry that they use for "killing innocents for cash" because they can't hack a real job in the real world. Seriously? "Mercenaries"? Me personally, I view Blackwater Worldwide as just another job for former servicemen and women who can put all the skills they learned in the U.S. Military to good use rather than wasting it on some low-pay dead end job among civilians. And besides, the British do the same fucking thing. They have their own private military service and contractors just like we do.
My airsoft guns
My airsoft guns are modeled after the following real-world firearms:
