Soldier Soldier

The Soldier Soldier page is coming along nicely. --Jcordell 15:39, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Have basically finished the small arms part of it, just need to do heavy and other weapons now.--Commando552 15:43, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Gary Jones

I don't remember him ever using a Beretta. Could you point out the episode so I can grab a screenshot?--Milkovich 09:53, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Ah, all right. Thanks. --Milkovich 07:27, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Ace Combat PAL Titles

Great move making the redirect page with the PAL title of Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies. I took your lead and did the same for the other AC game articles here (with the exception of AC6, since it has the same title in North America and PAL regions). Way to stay heads-up, wish I had thought of that myself! Orca1 9904 04:25, 10 March 2011 (MSK)

Image titles

There's policy on these to have image titles in some way relate to what they're actually of ("Movie screenshots should include syntax identifying what movie/TV show/game they came from") rather than using VLC default filenames. Not trying to be a dick, just saying. Evil Tim 09:12, 10 April 2011 (CDT)

Ultimate Force

I appreciate all the extra work you've done on Ultimate Force. I started the page a long time ago when I was new to IMFDB, and in retrospect, there's a lot of stuff I would have done differently (like not grouping all of the AK variants under one entry for "AK-47 variants", for instance). It's good to see someone's revamping it, because I haven't had time myself.

That being said, some suggestions:

  • Please do make sure that you are adding the gun photos, gun page links, and descriptions of the weapons' use (and by which characters). When Excalibur did some additional work on the page a few years back, he was a bit lazy about adding that stuff.
  • Since I and Excalibur last worked on the page, IMFDB has a new policy of dividing up TV shows with lots of weapons by season (i.e. 24 and Stargate: SG-1). The Ultimate Force page is getting to be really, really long, so you might want to consider doing the same thing. Since you (wisely) labeled all of your screenshots according to the episode, it should be pretty easy to do this. (I can help you with that, if you want.)
  • You might want to group weapons of the same manufacturer near to each other (i.e. SIG P225 and P228 both appear way below SIG P226, which is near the top of the page).
  • Your screenshots show that the "Colt CAR-15" with Cobray CM203 that is used by Henno and several other characters in Seasons 3 and 4 has a "Stowaway" pistol grip, which means that it's not a Colt but rather a 10" barrel Olympic Arms K3B carbine fitted with a fake XM177 flash hider. -MT2008 18:21, 20 July 2011 (CDT)

movie guns

beats me. Remember that movie arsenals have tons of franken guns. We have a pile of Bushmaster or Colt or (fill in the blank) full auto papered lowers and auto sears and another pile of barreled uppers. Sometimes the gun is a complete gun, but most of the time, it is built up from parts (and usually from different manufacturers). The pics, I just grabbed what looked right at the time from the gun rack. I would one day like to go back and make sure that each lower is properly mated to the right upper for historical purposes. Also even though we use COLT as the standard for IMFDB when talking about the various model types, there are TONS of receivers built by 3rd party manufacturers. I know of at least three makes in inventory from companies that went out of business in the 1980s. And we all know the many makers today. I need to go back sometime and fix the pics for the samples (try to make extra sure that all the parts are from the right lineage), but that takes time. It IS one of the many things on my list to do when I have time. But as per IMFDB, they are still good for our site, only in that they are (a) movie blank adapted weapons which have been used in movies and TV and (b) at least once or at the time they were photographed, they were used to represent that model type. I know post 1986 most of the AR type receivers built were A2 style with the strengthening bits. The only real A1 lowers were on guns purchased prior to the release of the A2. I slapped a ton of different colt Uppers on whatever lower was available at the time. Usually trying to get it as close as I could. The custom build ups were the most time consuming though. Hope this helps. MoviePropMaster2008 02:58, 5 August 2011 (CDT)

Okay, you da man. I did a quick check on one of the guns and it WAS a non-colt lower that was a pre-86 transferable full auto conversion. Your eagle eyes are keeping me honest! ;) LOL. I will try to mate a real Colt A1 lower to a Colt A1 upper and be sure it's a Colt. Back in the day when I first started, most of IMFDB's gun pics were horrible airsoft photos, the veteran members & mods can attest to that. I was just rushing to get real movie armory weapons as soon as possible. But I really should not have a mixed and match Hollywood built up gun when there are plenty of 100% complete guns out there. I just grabbed what was convenient on the rack to photograph it. Thanks to YOU, though, I will try to get 100% correct pics to replace the sample pics for the M16 page. Now I notice weird little things that I missed (for one, the old style rear sling swivel should not be on any of the post XM16E1 guns, etc.) I just wanted to thank you again for your sharp vision. It makes us more accurate when members catch things like that :D best regards MoviePropMaster2008 16:16, 6 September 2011 (CDT)

Maxim 1910/30 - Vickers MK1 in 'Attack on Leningrad'

Thanks for your comment, I think you're quite right. I simply assumed that because the movie was taking place in Russia, it would be a Russian Maxim, but upon closer inspection it does indeed look like a Vickers MK1. It's probably come off one of the Allied support shipment that went through Murmansk harbour in the early years of WWII.

By the way, congrats on your work on the Star Wars page, very educational and a true eye-opener! --PeeWee055 10:36, 17 September 2011 (CDT)

Remington 700

Thanks for putting up the new picture of the BDL. I think the lack of a rifle sight on the barrel of the other picture causes some confusion. --Ben41 18:33, 20 September 2011 (CDT)

ACOG

Technically, ACOG scope is tautology, yes, but the funny thing is it's tautology that Trijicon itself doesn't mind. Seen, for example, here: TA01NSN --Masterius 08:17, 21 September 2011 (CDT)

GAU-8

Much as I'm kinda fond of that full-length shot of the GAU-8, it's not as good for a page image; it isn't as widely linked-to as the high-contrast version, and that version is cropped to focus more on the end of the gun / ammo drum rig you're actually likely to be trying to ID. It's a better image, that's why I put the other one on the talk page. Evil Tim 19:21, 19 October 2011 (CDT)

I don't know about that; the gun isn't "obscured" by the feed mechanism since you're very unlikely to see it without that mechanism; if anything, the one with the helmet is an inferior picture since it doesn't show a part of the gun it's always attached to if it's actually shown working. The drum isn't really needed since, well, it's a drum; it's not that distinctive and likely to be fictionalised if the weapon is shown in a non-standard mounting anyway. I'm trying to remember, but I'm sure I've seen GAU-8s in games which aren't attached to A-10s. I'd keep both; the one with the helmet is fine if it's shown on an A-10, the other is useful for ID'ing it if it's shown outside the aircraft. Evil Tim 05:12, 20 October 2011 (CDT)
Yeah, but as I edited, I think we should keep both the pictures that are there now. Goalkeeper would get its own subsection (like Phalanx on the Vulcan page) if we start having them spotted. Evil Tim 05:42, 20 October 2011 (CDT)

help with M16s

So are you volunteering to be my detail check man? ;) I need someone who knows a lot more about M16s than I do to go one step further. Also my own knowledge has grown since I joined this site, because of the attention to detail. Of course there is the conundrum that many so called variants are never really seen in movies, the more common version will always be the norm. Case in point: the preponderance of C&C HK94s in Hollywood. And even those registered SMGs still exist, but they've been updated with correct trigger packs and barrels. Anyway, thanks for the research! It is always appreciated. I've struggled with the research element in the past. The easiest thing for me to do is to actually GET the gun and photograph it. Please let me know if you're interested in helping me with other M16 identifications. :) best regards. MoviePropMaster2008 22:28, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

re: M26/M76

Trust me, I'm Finnish ;)

But in all seriousness, I'm 98.9% sure. The Rk 62's production numbers were closer to half a million (some sources say they're still produced as we speak), as it was adopted by our armed forces (it was designed with the Nordic climate in mind). Lots of (civilian/semi-auto only) Rk 62s were also exported. The M76 was later designed to be even more robust, but our armed forces (in all their glory) desided NOT to fully replace the M76s, as they didn't feel the need for it. (Sort of like what happened to FN SCAR as the replacement for AR-15 in your armed forces.) Of course some of the M76s were adopted, but in far smaller numbers (like what happened to HK416). It was only produced for about ten years, with smaller production numbers, and most of them were shipped overseas.

In America, the M76 could be more common, as half of the produced version were .223s (the more common/ preferred round in the US, I think?). But the Rk 62 was produced for over 50 years in huge numbers (also offered in .223 in export)

Oh, and I got some extra info for you, if you like:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

The Rk 62 above is a very old model. The handguard with the small holes in it means that it has day sights.

After criticism (from Mihali Kalashnikov himself) the rifle was changed to have tritium night sights. The basic model of the Rk 62 was also changed to have plastic furniture (for ease of production), and if an Rk 62 has the modernized handguard (seen below:) it has the tritium sights. Some Rk 62 were still manufactured with the daysight/holed handguard, but as our winters are very, very dark, they figured "what the hell" and scrapped it in mid 1980s.

The tubular buttstock has a small layer of plastic on it, so your cheek won't freeze on it in temperatures of -30 celsius (/-22 fahrenheit)!

Hope this helps! --Warejaws 07:37, 10 November 2011 (CST)

Beats me. I'd say that was a scope mount of some sort, but nothing like I've ever seen on a Valmet before. The usual rear sight seems to have been completely removed, so I guess that thing is supposed to pass as a sighting system. Or it's an export variant with export-only sights. --Warejaws 05:15, 12 December 2011 (CST)

Romanian Md90

Great shot. But do you know WHEN it was made? and who got it? It would help us ID guns that were used years earlier. Right now, guns like the Draco are place holders for what we suspect are customized AIRs (which were 5.56) and converted to 7.62x39mm but this would be more correct. But if it came out after the movies in question, then a customized movie armorer gun was used. Thanks for the AK help. We're slowly but surely filling in the historical gaps on guns.

AC-130 in MOH2010

Hi. I saw you added the AC-130's guns to MoH. Can you tell me where can those guns be seen so I can add some images. IIRC, there are no close-ups of the Spectres, and if the guns cannot be seen they should not be added to the page, even tho the AC fires some shots. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 07:33, 15 November 2011 (CST)

You've been troll'd

Curious here

Just curious but what military/branch did/do you serve in? I must give you props for firing a warning shot with a minigun though. Definitely something I wouldn't attempt lol --Ranger12 08:04, 18 November 2011 (CST)


Transformers:Dark of the Moon miniguns

I should be sure as I built the mounts for all three Wreckers and installed the weapons. We used the old GE parts for the looks as they are interchangeable.--phoenixent 18:09, 18 November 2011 (CST)
No problem.. The miniguns used on Battleship and Fast Five are GE's that have been upgraded. --Steve

Mytbusters

Officially finished redoing the Mythbusters page!! Thanks for all your help. --Zackmann08 23:09, 17 December 2011 (CST)

THANK YOU!

You really helped out the Archangel page and I couldn't be more grateful! Please don't expect any significant updates until Sunday, or next Friday. The weekdays are busy for me and so is this Saturday.

Top Shot

Thanks for your help on Top Shot - Season 3. I'm almost done, just have 2 episodes left. After that I am going to start on Season 2. I'd love your input on that as well. Thanks again. --Zackmann08 15:18, 6 December 2011 (CST)

Finished up on Season 3. Would love a second set of eyes to look it over for typos if/when you feel like it. --Zackmann08 19:28, 6 December 2011 (CST)

Covert Affairs

Hey man, when you have a moment, can you take a look at a gun on the Covert Affairs page? The link takes you to the gun in question. I just want to make sure that it is actually a Mosin Nagant and you are my go to expert. Thanks! --Zackmann08 14:23, 22 December 2011 (CST)

Also, the FIM-92 Stinger looks much more like a FIM-43 Redeye to me... --Zackmann08 14:34, 22 December 2011 (CST)

AR-15's

The table you made about the AR-15's may be the single most useful thing I've seen on this site! LOVE IT!!! --Zackmann08 10:29, 29 December 2011 (CST)

Smith & Wesson

So I've gotten a little flack from MoviePropMaster2008 for changing around a number of pages. I'd like to avoid getting on the bad side of an admin... If you think Smith & Wesson Model 640 Centennial should be listed without 'Centennial', it'd be great if you'd correct it. Thanks man! --Zackmann08 17:40, 29 December 2011 (CST)

History Channel game

Looks like you beat me to the punch. I think we had the exact same caps from the same Youtube videos. BeardedHoplite 19:53, 29 December 2011 (CST)

blank guns

It's not an issue since your work can be merged easily into a generic page, but guns which are not real (but not part of the fictional guns section) are not considered worthy of their own pages. Previously we did not have any entries in the 'theatrical blank' fire only weapons, and only mentioned them in the pages that they appeared in. Even then, they usually had a spot in the REAL firearm page, upon which they were based. As this one and a few others are cropping up, we will have to created a new 'Blank fire only guns" page which are designed from the ground up to not be a live firearm, but also is not a copy of an existing firearm design. This and a few others fall into this category. Again, your nice work won't be lost but we should group all of the 'custom design or hybrid' blank fire only guns into one page, just like we did with the 'non-guns' (i.e. the flash paper guns).  :) Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 21:04, 3 January 2012 (CST)

S&W

Thanks so much dude! That's super helpful. --Zackmann08 10:01, 9 January 2012 (CST)

Just did more reading on that page and found that it has tons of info on other guns that I was looking for as well. Thanks again. --Zackmann08 10:59, 9 January 2012 (CST)
Just wanted to thank you again for cleaning up my typos and fixing my errors. :-) --Zackmann08 11:52, 6 February 2012 (CST)

blank guns

this one Olympic 6 Blank Firing Revolver is a generic revolver design, not based on any LIVE weapon that we can determine. There will be MORE, I can guarantee that. So far 90% of the blank only guns are direct and pretty good copies of actual live gun designs and thus belong at the bottom of those pages. But we do need a page for the weird, nondescript or hybrid guns like [1] which I am sure will start appearing in some productions. They call it an "uzi", but to include it on the actual UZI page is an insult to the Uzi guns :D. Be sure to present the page as for those 'theatrical guns' which fire proprietary blanks only. What is interesting is that only recently the ATF and Customs are allowing import of 'front fire' blank guns. Previously only the fully blocked barrels and guns which flash only upwards were allowed. I think these guns fire 'backwards' like the old blow back toy guns from Japan but I have not seen one to inspect it's interior mechanism. MoviePropMaster2008 12:31, 11 January 2012 (CST)

Manufacturers

Good catch, fixed. bunni 18:15, 13 January 2012 (CST)

Manufacturer Template

I created a template for the manufacturer pages (Manufacturer Template). I am going to add a link to it from the [[Category:Manufacturer]] page. I would love any input from you and other admins on it. I want to make it as straight forward as possible. Thanks! --Zackmann08 15:16, 19 January 2012 (CST)

thx

Hi. Thanks for the info on the M107. Looks like one cannot even trust Barrett's own page, the one page that should know it right... Anyways thanks. And here is what I wanted to know: Would it be a good idea to create a "United States Marine Corps" manufacturer page and move there the M40 from Remington, as well as add the M39 EMR and the Designated Marksman Rifle? Maybe even the MEU(SOC)... And the second thing: does your nick have anything to do with the 552 Commando rifle? :) - bozitojugg3rn4ut 15:17, 19 January 2012 (CST)

On their site, under the "About" section there is a timeline on the right, which says that in 2005 "The U.S. Army names the Barrett M107 as one of the Top Ten Greatest Inventions of 2005"- --bozitojugg3rn4ut 17:25, 19 January 2012 (CST)
I guess I'm gonna have to change the text on MOH2010, where there is an M107 during a level that takes place in Q2 of 2002. And the fact that there was no M107 designation back in 2002 could be the reason why they are calling it "M82", right? - bozitojugg3rn4ut 03:02, 20 January 2012 (CST)

AK-200 in GRFS

I figured I continue the discussion here: There is still at least 4 months till the release of the game, so maybe they will change it to an AK-12. I will leave it as the 200 for now. I am a little bit confused about how the AK-200 actually looks like., after reading several different sources. If it is just a 74M/101/103 with rails, then you think you could create one in Photoshop and upload it? It would be just a PS job, but at least we had a pic of it. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 04:40, 31 January 2012 (CST)

Thanks, the pic is perfect. And according to a video, there will be at least 3 different buttstocks for most of the weapons: fixed (reduces kick), folding (reduces weight penalty) and folding in folded position (increases maneuverability). Maybe they didn't know that since the 74M, the stocks can fold, that is why they added a wire stock. I am also starting to think that the AK-103 on the GRFS page is actually that AK-200 with a different stock and other attachments, like the X26 Taser. We will know more when they release the game. Thanks again for the help. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 07:06, 31 January 2012 (CST)
Hi. Sorry to bother you again but could you also "create" an AW Covert? Thanks in advance! - bozitojugg3rn4ut 16:06, 1 February 2012 (CST)
Cool, thanks. Is it okay to use the pic on the AW page with a note that it is a PS recreation? - bozitojugg3rn4ut 08:12, 3 February 2012 (CST)

In all 3 games featuring the AWC, the rifle has an interesting stock. Here is an image. (Look at the low left corner where the red HUD is.) Do you have any idea what is up with the stock? Did the developers just "guess" the shape of it or what? - bozitojugg3rn4ut 08:39, 3 February 2012 (CST)

Yeah, the suppressor of the AWC should probably cover the whole barrel. What is your recommendation, should we add a new section for the AWS? - bozitojugg3rn4ut 11:18, 3 February 2012 (CST)
Here is a render of the in-game AWC in Raven Shield. It has a folding stock, so I am going to leave it as a Covert, and will move the other 2 games to the AWS section. And will use the "Mystery" AWC as the image for the Covert. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 12:52, 3 February 2012 (CST)

The Dark Knight Rises

Why did you change the name of the AR-15 variant on the Dark Knight Rises page from a Colt Canada C8 CQB to a Mk. 18 Mod 0? As far as my knowledge goes the Mk. 18 has rails for handguards but the pictured weapon, wich coresponds with the weapon seen in the prolouge, has the short ribbed handguards.

Sommer & Ockenfuß Griffrepetierer

No foreign lettering allowed in Gun titles. We try to use the English romanization of the title. So we avoid using umlauts and ß. german has always been rare, we've been policing against Cyrillic most of the time. I did a google search under Sommer & Ockenfuß. Every page was a german language page. I did a google search under Sommer & Ockenfuss and then came up with all the English language pages about the gun. Since English is our primary language on IMFDB (and protocols are American) I ask that you change the title to Ockenfuss. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 15:51, 3 February 2012 (CST)

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for telling me how to sign a post. I post here now to not bump pages further if you do not mind.--Z008MJ 15:41, 5 February 2012 (CST)

SIG50

Hey, I'm still a novice here so as always I defer to my superiors knowledge, but I thought the McMillan TAC-50 was its own gun? What does it have to do with the SIG50? Is the SIG50 SIG-Sauer's attempt at making a similar gun?? --Zackmann08 22:11, 10 February 2012 (CST)

Gotcha. Thanks! --Zackmann08 12:53, 11 February 2012 (CST)

AWC

Hi. I have sent AI an e-mail, asked about the AWC image, and they replied that your image the "Mystery AWC" is correct. It took them a few weeks but they actually did reply... Cool, huh? - bozitojugg3rn4ut 05:34, 15 February 2012 (CST)

re: FMG

bozitojugg3rn4ut 15:43, 15 February 2012 (CST)

That youtube video does not mention that the gun is in production, only what its production designation will be. And the fact that there is an official Mapgul airsoft version with the same title confirms the new name. For example, CZ also uses the correct designations to name their airsoft guns. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 17:06, 15 February 2012 (CST)

CSI NY

Hey. So question for ya. How do you know that the gun used in CSI: NY - Season 7 is the MP5K instead of the MP5K-PDW? I'm not questioning your edit, I always defer to the experts here... just trying to understand and further my knowledge. When I look at these two images (which are taken from the Heckler & Koch MP5 page by the way) (MP5K-PDW Image, MP5K Image) the only difference I see is the stock... Also, based on the description provide for the Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW on its page, this is the main difference between the two... Any way, as I said, not trying to argue with you, just want to learn. :-) --Zackmann08 14:17, 22 February 2012 (CST)

Also, good call on the Para-Ordnance LDA Companion! In the second screen-shot you can just make out that logo. NICE! --Zackmann08 14:19, 22 February 2012 (CST)
Gotcha. Well as always, thanks for the help and for the lesson. Always good to learn something new. --Zackmann08 14:37, 22 February 2012 (CST)

I actually shot these a long time ago for the site and forgot I had them. They are from movie gun inventory and it does seem to be Satin nickel. Makes sense. Change it to Satin Nickel.  :) MoviePropMaster2008 01:49, 25 February 2012 (CST)

Archangel AK-47s

Sorry for not getting back to you until several months later. I am pretty sure I saw the hooded and not hooded sights of Norincos and AKs. I know a lot about guns but mostly handguns so I did my best. I'm really bad at screenshots, but I'll try. If you have Netflix, Archangel is streaming. The AK/Norincos can be found in part three. If you can help with the unidentified pistol, then please check in part two. If you know anyone who could help with this, I have the info on my page. --Yo dawg 111 12:06, 25 February 2012 (CST)

AR-15 Gallery

Hey man. So after creating the 1911 Gallery and helping out with the SIG-Sauer P220 Pistol Series Gallery, I'm getting ready to make the AR-15/M16 Gallery page. Like the 1911 Gallery, the AR-15 gallery would include every AR-15 style rifle on the site. Since you have that killer AR-15 guide on your user page, I wanted to see if I could enlist your help in creating the page? Let me know if you are interested. :-) --Zackmann08 22:57, 24 March 2012 (CDT)

Yo. First off, thanks for the help with CSI: Miami - Season 7. Out of curiosity, are you sure the pistol is a Heckler & Koch USP Tactical? I don't see the threaded barrel... Any chance its a standard USP with tactical sights?? --Zackmann08 17:56, 3 April 2012 (CDT)

You make a good point. I have a big screen so I forget that not everyone is working with high resolution. I will adjust it to 300px. :-) --Zackmann08 15:48, 24 April 2012 (CDT)

Yo! So I'm thinking that the Foreign TV Infobox is kind of reduntant now that the TV Infobox is up and running. Would you mind switching the 2 pages you did over the the other infobox and we'll remove the foreign TV one? --Zackmann08 22:30, 30 April 2012 (CDT)
i'll add that this afternoon. Thanks for pointing it out --Zackmann08 09:30, 1 May 2012 (CDT)
BTW, glad to see someone other then myself putting the converter to use. :-) --Zackmann08 18:23, 3 May 2012 (CDT)

photoshopping my pics

Remember, when you create a Franken gun pic from my images, please disclose that it is a photoshop job in the description from my original image. Thanks :D MoviePropMaster2008 14:28, 4 May 2012 (CDT)

Infobox Video Game

Hey man, I started another infobox, this one is for Video Games. I would love some feedback on it. If there is anything you think should be added, removed, etc. --Zackmann08 16:18, 6 May 2012 (CDT)

Railed L85A2 image

Thank you very much for the image of the Enfield L85A2 with the railed forend and ACOG scope. I don't know where you found it, but it's a greatly-appreciated addition. Orca1 9904 20:08, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

A question about M1919

You are expert in M1919s, so please help with this variation of 1919: it has a barrel like UK aircraft Browning, conical muzzle booster as 1919A6 and grip of 1919A4. Thanks in advance! Greg-Z 11:29, 29 May 2012 (CDT)

I looked once more the part of the movie which featured these MGs. They didn't shoot even once. So it looks like they are really mock ups. So I'll correct the description on the movie page. Greg-Z 12:33, 29 May 2012 (CDT)

Act of Valor

I TOTALLY missed that... I just saw a newbie user making a change with no image, linking to a page that didn't exist and assumed it was a "drive by edit". Thank you for correcting my mistake and bringing it to my attention. :-) --Zackmann08 10:23, 5 June 2012 (CDT)

CSI

As always, thanks for the help identifying stuff for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - Season 9! If you have some time, most of the CSI pages have at least 1 unknown... Any help is appreciated. :-) --Zackmann08 13:17, 11 June 2012 (CDT)

Actor Names

I removed them from a page that I myself created (I wouldn't delete them from someone else's page) and I did so for 2 reasons. 1) There wasn't really a good picture of the person, just a shot of their hand with a gun and 2) there was like an 8 year old kid holding a gun and the likelihood of him being seen with a gun again is pretty low. Normally I keep the actors but I don't like to do it if I don't have a picture I can put on their page. --Zackmann08 13:45, 13 June 2012 (CDT)

1911s

Hey man. First off, thanks for the help with the Kimber page! Its really coming out great. Second, I wanted to get your input on the 1911 Template I'm making. Do me a favor and don't change anything yet (unless its like a typo...) but I would love some input on how best to categorize stuff. :-) --Zackmann08 14:55, 15 June 2012 (CDT)

So now that this template is taken care of, would you be interested in helping me with another?? Template:AR This one is for all AR-15/AR-10/M16 derivatives. --Zackmann08 11:11, 26 June 2012 (CDT)

AK

Let's take this convo to the Template talk:AK page. --Zackmann08 15:24, 26 June 2012 (CDT)

They Walk

They Walk was a non-professional title, and thus ineligible. Sorry. --Funkychinaman 15:32, 29 June 2012 (CDT)

They Walk

My understanding was that it was a Non-professional title. The quality of the images made it look as though it was some kids who shot a movie in there back yard... If I'm wrong I will restore it asap. (Please know I'm traveling at the moment so I might not respond for a day.) --Zackmann08 17:38, 29 June 2012 (CDT)

Its IMDb page points it to be a user-created/non-professional title. The only other IMDb credit for the actor that was first billed was as a boom operator. The budget is listed as $10,000. (For comparison, the budget for Clerks was almost three times much, and that was made fifteen years ago.) And the domain name for the distributor has expired. --Funkychinaman 17:52, 29 June 2012 (CDT)

Periods

Did I? I thought I was reinserting removed decimals from calibers in Imperial units. I've been doing that because that particular user always removes them. I'll check again. --Funkychinaman 07:04, 20 July 2012 (CDT)

I see it. I don't know what happened there. I just undid it. --Funkychinaman 07:07, 20 July 2012 (CDT)

Auto changing tag

You point is well taken. This is not a one size fits all solution. There are pages that 95% done but still incomplete, then there are pages that are 5% done... This is something that I am intending to do but I don't know how soon I will get around to it because it will take some time to figure out. That being said, when I do figure out the code, I will make sure to bring it up in the forum before I implement it. One thought might be to have a couple of incomplete tags... Like an "Incomplete stage 1", "Incomplete stage 2", "Incomplete stage 3". Pages that reach stage 3 will be marked for deletion but in a way that will note to the admins that they need to check and see if this is a 95% done page or a 5% done... Thanks for pointing this out. I will be sure to keep you in the loop when I really start working on this. --Zackmann08 15:40, 23 July 2012 (CDT)

Well you successfully lit a fire under my ass... I figured it out! Check out what I posted in the forum. I wanna get some feedback then I'll make it happen! --Zackmann08 23:11, 23 July 2012 (CDT)

Stinger / Redeye

Just for future reference, could you maybe write a comparison guide for those two like the one at the bottom of SVD? It seems identifying one for the other is pretty common. Evil Tim 02:43, 27 July 2012 (CDT)

Re AKS-47

Okey, but I've used that picture when I as a replacement on some pages as they used the incorrect AKS Type 1 picture, now I have cut some of the the white away and reuploded it but it seems to have been compressed so that it looks strange, how can i fix it? --TheJoker

Vandal

It's not a new vandal, it's just Liam again. Evil Tim 08:11, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Overwhelming evidence would suggest it's because he's an idiot. Evil Tim 08:25, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Congrats

With great power.... Comes great responsibility. You were nominated by Evil Tim. I agreed! :-) Congrats! --Zackmann08 09:48, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Also, sorry for "Weston1911". Thank you for helping clean up his mess... :-( --Zackmann08 10:17, 17 August 2012 (CDT)
Honestly, not really sure what it means either... I just ignore it. :-)
Congrats as well, Commando! The user Weston1911 strongly resembles a certain banned user who vandalized the site in a similar way a few years ago and apparently had tried to create his own (not so great) media firearms site. --Ben41 14:58, 17 August 2012 (CDT)


Congrats!

Congrats on the promotion! --Funkychinaman 09:48, 17 August 2012 (CDT)


Spam

So spam has dramatically decreased lately as a result of the new system put in place by Bunni but we still have the occasional jerk who gets through. For future reference, if anyone does start doing stuff like our pal Weston1911 did, will you message me? I am compiling a "blacklist" that includes the e-mail and IP the user used when they registered. It will help prevent them from registering in the future. Thanks man! --Zackmann08 10:34, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

S&W M1

Thanks for the info. :-) --Zackmann08 10:58, 24 August 2012 (CDT)

FMG

Eh, I assumed the original was a real one, didn't think to check if it wasn't. Still, it certainly applies in a general sense. Evil Tim 07:44, 25 August 2012 (CDT)

Just a thought, is there any point specifically noting it's a prototype when IIRC there's no such thing as a production one yet? Evil Tim 08:26, 25 August 2012 (CDT)

A typo in title

I know, I know - I'm sorry. It was a typo. Please delete this first. Thank you very much.--Pandolfini 13:35, 31 August 2012 (CDT)

Polish Weapons

The update comes a few days of the project with the Polish faction. I know because I'm doing the same fraction.

Wist-96 will be used in the "Project Reality: Polish Forces" [2] --MTOOO 07:24, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Beat me to it.

Proposal to create a page on Firearms used by Taiwan (ROC) Forces.

Hi there, after my academic examination, ends on 8 Oct,i would have all the time in the world to create a new page about firearms used by ROC forces.

Since that is my home country, i am pretty familiar and have the reference to the firearms. My intention is to simply contribute to the site, without stirring up political/diplomatic conflicts...

Is just that i have yet to create a proper page before and may need help in formatting and polishing the page...

How do you consider? --S9771773G (talk) 10:42, 1 October 2012 (EDT)

Supernatural

Just wanted to say great job on the improved screenshots for Supernatural. --Ben41 (talk) 18:32, 23 October 2012 (EDT)
