We sometimes have people dump pages with the incomplete heading on them and expect others to finish them: in the past this lead to a surplus of awful pages with no screenshots. Obviously, we don't want that, so you should use the WIP tag until and unless you feel like you're done with your contributions to a page.

Also re: Galils, once weapons are out "in the wild" they can end up anywhere. Militias all over Africa use FALs that Belgium certainly didn't sell them, and you also get things like stolen government weapons (since a load of African states used Galils) or weapons acquired through legit contracts but then dumped onto the black market by corrupt governments. Given a lot of states that used to use the Galil now use the Tavor, there's probably a ton of Galils floating around that were sold on the quiet because it was a better deal than scrapping them, and that just about anyone could acquire. | |||
Also there's an obvious game-ness to it: the illustration is of ''an'' angry mob, it wouldn't necessarily follow that every angry mob is supposed to have the exact same standardised armament. In fact, the Galils are a pretty good show that it's "whatever AKs or AK clones the GLA can get their hands on." To be honest it's far weirder that Shin Fai's infantry have SL8s and none of the Chinese Generals are holding Chinese weapons.

Welcome to IMFDB
Before you do any editing please take the time to read the Rules, Standards and Principles. This is a very important document that explains how this website is setup as well as telling you what is and isn't allowed. If it is determined by an admin that you have not read these rules, your account will be suspended. Continued non-compliance may result in a permanent ban. After that you should also read the IMFDB Screencapping Guide and the IMFDB Style Guide to familiarize yourself with the image and formatting requirements for pages you create.
There are a number of pages that desperately need your help. You can find these Incomplete pages here.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them here but make sure to sign your post by typing --~~~~.
Finally, IMFDB has a forum set up here that is only available to registered members. There is lots of good stuff to see there. If you would like to join the forum, please post HERE and an account will be created for you.
