Hey, I was just wondering what your username is in ''[[America's Army]]'' and ''[[America's Army 3]]'', so I can add you to my battle buddy list and recognize you when playing online? My usernames are Orca19904 and Orca1, respectively. Would also like to check out your profiles to see how you've been doing in training in both games.

Re: LAR Grizzly
The LAR Grizzly Big-Bore is indeed a single-shot rifle, you have to reload after each shot. This can be seen in Tremors 2: Aftershocks when Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) loads the rifle. Orca1 9904 01:06, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- Interesting, thanks -User:AdAstra2009
I will try. I don't have one or access to one now, but I am visiting some of my peers who may have one. I have your pic request on my 'list of things to do'. best regards MoviePropMaster2008 01:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Perfect Dark
I was wondering why you removed the Heckler & Koch AG36 and the grenade launcher variant from Perfect Dark? Sci Fi Gunner 18:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: America's Army
Actually, if you look at the magazine curve of the AK-103/GP-30 compared to the magazines of the AKS-74U below it on the table, you'll see that the magazine loaded in the top AK is more curved than the AKS-74U's mags. As for the sniper rifle, the stock and handguard design match those of the FPK/PSL, which are noticably different than those of the Dragunov. Below are images of both rifles to show the differences:

Hulk
It's cool that you screencapped Hulk, but the page layout does not meet IMFDB standards. Please fix? -MT2008 23:56, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- What I mean is that the page needs:
- (1.) Proper grammar and capitalization throughout, including the gun names ("Beretta 92fs"?)
- (2.) Descriptions of the gun's use in the movie and, with it, links to the gun pages.
- (3.) Pictures of the guns individually.
- For instance, look at my page for The Incredible Hulk to see how I did it. When in doubt, you can always hit "edit" on another page and then copy-and-paste code for the guns as they appear on those pages. I'll help if you need it. Thanks. -MT2008 21:11, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Great work on Dawn of the Dead(1978)
Great work. Looks good.
Smith & wesson 916A
Do you want a gun photograph of a S&W 916A? I have one in the warehouse, but it will take a few weeks to get to it MoviePropMaster2008 02:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Dragon is indeed a G36K
I've uploaded an image which makes the similarity clearer; sure, it's a very blocky G36K with a lot of parts either completely wrong or at least oddly placed [like the whole trigger group and reciever being dropped down by the width of the barrel shroud], but then the AR34 and Sniper Rifle are hardly going to win awards for being faithful reproductions of the FAMAS and WA2000 either. Dongs 01:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- There's plenty of resemblance. If you take into account that the whole rear of the gun is dropped by the width of the shroud, the trigger group and magazine well are very close. The barrel shroud is long and thin, the stock is a similar shape but upside-down, and the flash suppressor is identical to that of a G36K. Again, none of the weapons are that close to the ones they're based on; if you could find me a wood-furnished P90 with angular grips and a white magazine taking up most of the gun's midsection we can talk about how the Dragon isn't a G36K just because it's a mess.
The Falcon 2 is clearly M1911-derived, and only looks more like the Double Eagle because it's extremely similified; the identical sight indicates it's based on the AMT Hardballer Longslide from Terminator, so that's what should go there. Dongs 01:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC) - In addition, please stop reverting to a version of the page that includes a number of errors. Two people have added that it's a G36 to the article, entirely seperately of each other. This implies you should at least listen to the arguments to that effect rather than reverting it. Dongs 01:55, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Similar, yes, but the kicker is that the Falcon 2 was obviously designed with reference to a specific movie prop, so the resemblance to the Double Eagle is probably just because the Hardballer also looks like a Double Eagle. Colour the lever at the back of the Hardballer's slide black, and you get a black area the same shape as the grip of the Falcon 2. Dongs 02:05, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hold on, I'll upload a picture that shows the resemblancer better; it's not that clear looking at the right-hand side of the prop, but the scope mount of the PD sight is virtually identical, as is the overall shape of it and the length relative to the gun. Dongs 02:11, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Granted, the mounting is turned backwards and the scope is the same at both ends, but you can certainly see what I'm talking about now, yes? Dongs 02:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- I wouldn't call that particularly conclusive, given the gross differences in some of the other guns [WA2000 scope, etc]. Certainly the Hardballer has to come first because it's obvious the most commonly depicted version [scoped, used in most promo renders] was based on a specific movie prop; I suppose the most obvious explanation was they thought the Double Eagle was the short version of the Hardballer and so we get a weird hybrid gun. I've already added a note regarding the grip shape to the article, you could probably add that in the same place. But again, Rare's N64 games aren't exactly renowned for accurate weapon depictions; neither gun has a grip which extends above the trigger. Dongs 02:37, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Hey AdAstra
I see you are screencapping alot of pages. That's nice, but you need to give the images captions and use proper grammar, man. You also need to put gun pictures into the sections. If you do that, then the pages would be complete.-Oliveira 21:17, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, but you need to put some kind of caption. Even if the captions are incredebly generic, there must be captions. The captions under the images are part of the format of the pages in this site.-Oliveira 21:33, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
America's Army 3 Screenshots
Hey, just saw the screenshots you posted on America's Army 3, where did you get them? Is the game out yet? Orca1 9904 02:05, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Goldeneye
Good job with Goldeneye Astra. You just need to put periods at the end of every description.-Oliveira 17:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hi,
- Thanks for adding all the extra screenshots to Goldeneye (including guns I missed), but please be sure that (1.) You are following proper format (screencaps should be 500-600px, not 800px), and (2.) That you use proper grammar, spelling, and gun page links. Thanks. -MT2008 01:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Goldeneye: 1911 type pistol
I think this is an MAS/MAC Model 1950, a French-made pistol that used to be their service sidearm (before they switched to a license-made copy of the Beretta 92F): http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg88-e.htm -MT2008 02:06, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- I second this-S&Wshooter 02:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- We can use the one on World Guns, for now. Eventually, I'm sure MPM or Steve can get us a good picture of one, though I think they have enough on their plate at the moment... -MT2008 02:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Incomplete Category
Hey AdAstra2009, thanks for creating the incomplete category. It's now much easier to see which pages need to finished or revamped without them being all over the place.--Alienqueen11 03:56, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Leon (The Professional)
Okay, will do. I'll add his grenades too, since they play more into the extended cut. I own the special deluxe edition. - Gunmaster45
- Yeah, the Deluxe was $14.99 plus tax at Best Buy, I was actually lucky because they only had one copy of it. Right now I'll be uploading Running Scared for Predator20 and simultaneously helping him do Apocalypse Now. - Gunmaster45
- Yeah, it's pretty shocking. Now Predator20 has finally taken up the task, which is good. - Gunmaster45

- Would you mind if I replaced some of your screencaps with a single side-by-side? It saves space, like the three shots of Willy Blood's AP9 showing off continuity error. Three side-by-side shots as one image would still convey this in a more orderly fashion and reduce screencap repetion. If you'd rather I didn't, that's fine, but I'm just asking. - Gunmaster45

X2
Since you're working on X2 now, I figured you might like these:
- I got 'em from the web site of Def Con 5. They also have behind-the-scenes pictures from X3. -MT2008
Re: RE X2 Frag Grenade
That's true, but in this case the body of the grenade is too thin to be the grenade you posted the link to, so the M84 would be the better comparison. Orca1 9904 04:16, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Re: X2 Miscellaneous Section
It just seemed to be a bit excessive for the main article to me, since the article is supposed to be covering the weapons used in the film, not extra stuff like that. I didn't delete anything, just moved it intact. Orca1 9904 04:33, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
AA Usernames?
Hey, I was just wondering what your username is in America's Army and America's Army 3, so I can add you to my battle buddy list and recognize you when playing online? My usernames are Orca19904 and Orca1, respectively. Would also like to check out your profiles to see how you've been doing in training in both games. Orca1 9904 23:53, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- What's the name of the soldier(s) you play as in AA3? Should have asked that instead of your username. Also, I just added you as a buddy on the AA2 page. Do you think you could get a first-person screenshot of the AN/M14 incendiary grenade for the America's Army page here? I haven't fully completed the SF training (escape & evasion is a pain in the ass) and can't get onto maps where they're used ("Snakeplain", for example). Orca1 9904 02:29, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
