Oh I wouldn't worry about it. This is a debate that will never end. I'm 43 years old and I've been collecting firearms for almost thirty years. I've run into people who think it's weird and creepy that I have a gun collection and over thirty books about firearms. But I've also run into others who don't find it strange at all. As a police officer I know from first hand experience about the damage guns can do. But the damage is caused by people using those guns. The guns didn't do the damage by themselves. Cars kill people, rocks kill people, heck I was involved with a murder investigation several years ago in which the murder weapon was a bungee strap. I've seen several murders over the past 11 years in which the murder weapons were hammers, knives, a bathtub full of water and a can of gasoline and matches. People will always find ways to kill each other. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 00:33, 29 December 2011 (CST) | |||

Seeing as it was the last World War we had (and hopefully the last World War we'll ever have...erm, you rock, South Korea! We're sorry Kim-jung-il's dead too, but please don't use those weapons of mass destruction on us...), I have developed a strong interest in WWII weaponry. I hope that this can be a place for IMFDB members to come and talk about the weapons of World War Two (and One, if you want to. I'm not picky.). Have a good day! | Seeing as it was the last World War we had (and hopefully the last World War we'll ever have...erm, you rock, South Korea!

Japanese Paratroopers
Yes the Japanese had paratroopers in WWII. Here is a link to Wikipedia. should at least satisfy you curiosity. As far as the suppressor goes in Dirty Harry. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's just a prop. Something mocked up for the movie for visual effect. Welcome to imfdb.--Jcordell 17:43, 27 December 2011 (CST)
Thanks Jcordell. I'm finding it very good for things like research. Also, I can impress my friends and family with gun knowledge thanks to it. Like I was watching Shooter with my dad, and during the opening section, I just randomly said "That's an M40A5 there, Dad." He seemed impressed at first, but now he says it's a little weird. Is 13 too young to be a gun enthusiast? Lots of people keep telling me guns kill. They don't, do they? Surely humans make guns, and humans kill using them. On their own, guns are just lumps of metal, and if used correctly, provide security, peace and pleasure. Come on, back me up here guys. Anyway, I look forward to contributing to IMFDB pages.

WWII weapon discussion
Seeing as it was the last World War we had (and hopefully the last World War we'll ever have...erm, you rock, South Korea! We're sorry Kim-jung-il's dead too, but please don't use those weapons of mass destruction on us...), I have developed a strong interest in WWII weaponry. I hope that this can be a place for IMFDB members to come and talk about the weapons of World War Two (and One, if you want to. I'm not picky.). Have a good day!
