About Me

After losing my entire account and all the contributions I made to this site, I have finally returned. I'm still extremely upset that I lost everything I did (lesson: back everything up yourself, since you can never count on webmasters to do it for you), but fortunately, I have lots of screencaps and too much time on my hands, so I'm back. In addition to working on articles I had edited prior to the great crash, I'm also working on lots of new ones.

Anyway, I'm a recent graduate of a particular college in Maine (I was a History/Government major) who now has way too much time on his hands. I'm sort of a wannabe movie-gun librarian, and I love watching movies and seeing what types of weapons are in it. To be fair, I don't know as much about the classics, mostly just contemporary movies (Rafa, on the other hand, seems to be good with older films). Sometimes, I will buy movies on DVD, even terrible movies, if the guns are worth looking at - which sounds crazy, I know. Additionally, I tend to look for "behind the scenes" information on the guns in a movie - the company that supplied the weapons for the production, the armorers who built/handled the prop weapons on set, etc. I frequently use pictures of the actual prop guns in my articles, if I can find them (see for instance, my work on I Am Legend, for which I found pictures of the actual AR15 carbine and Mark-23 that were used in the movie).

Although I'm big into guns, movies, and guns in movies, I don't do much shooting in real life. I used to shoot skeet when I was in high school, but that was years ago now. I also go to the pistol range sometimes, but this, too, is pretty rare. Usually, I just buy guns for collector value...I have a very expensive pre-1989 Poly Tech AK which I've fired a total of 4 times in my basement. I am thinking about getting more into shooting once I graduate and I'm not in an environment where guns are frowned upon.

So that's that. Any other questions, please drop me a note on my "discussion" page.


Guns I Own

  • Golden State Arms-imported Chinese Type 56S AK - this is my baby
  • Smith & Wesson 4506 - it actually belonged to my grandfather, but he gave it to me.

I also used to own a Taurus PT92 which I have since sold (it was a very old and well-used example) and a Ruger Mark III (another of my grandfather's guns which I sold).
