I was planning on going back over the episodes I capped for season 3. To see if any needed to be added. (There is still some from season 1 and 2 I need to add too.) I think there is still around 8 episodes remaining for the season also. I've been working on movies. But don't worry, probably cap at least 2 or 3 episodes this weekend and get any from previous episodes up. -[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 14:14, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Most admins. only react because it is really difficult to find out if an anonymous user is just a vandal or not. And we're talking about a LOT of anonymous users. There's only about 10 or so admins. on this site so it's hard to weed out the bad. BTW, when you leave a message on someone's talk page, add a - (hyphen) and three ~ symbols, so your username will be left on the page, otherwise I have to sift through the page history to figure out who I'm talking to.

Also, I don't recommend you wipe your discussion clean after every chat, sometimes it's good to look back on discussions to remember important things (which is why us admins. have huge discussion pages). - Gunmaster45 (see, I marked my name. On the edit it will show I wrote it out but all I did was type three ~ symbols).

Enforcer Python

I believe it is a Python, since it has a larger frame size than the Diamondback in Magnum Force. I actually had this talk with User:Jcordell recently, and he seems like a pretty big revolver buff, so I'll take his word for it. - Gunmaster45

Vice City

This page needs more pictures like this. Can you get similar pictures for the other weapons? PersonOfInterest

You bet. In fact, since you brought it up, I'm going to do that for all the GTA games. Thanks! Gunman69 20:00, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

No no, thank YOU good sir. My hat is off to you and your efforts. PersonOfInterest

Much appreciated! :-D

You put the GTA3 rocket launcher in upside down. PersonOfInterest

Yeah, I thought it didn't look right! Thanks, but I'm really not sure how to correct it. Do you know how?

GTA Gun Images

You are using wrong gun models. For example, the 700 picture you put on the GTA III article is the model used in GTA IV not GTA III. Fix That, please.-Oliveira 23:43, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, for some reason, I couldn't upload the Remington pictures. I could only get the GTA IV pictures. I have to find new ones. If you could get me some, that would be awesome! Everything else should fit, however. If you don't think so, tell me which ones you think are wrong. Thanks! -Gunman69 02:33, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
All done. I hope that is sufficient. -Gunman69 03:36, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Good Work Gunman!-Oliveira 12:41, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! :-) -Gunman69 16:40, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

RE: GTA Shotgun

Yeah, i think it is a over and under shotgun. Here is the page: 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun. Look at the second section.-Oliveira 17:13, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Most people have always thought it to be an Ithaca because it functions like a pump shotgun, so that's why I wrote it as an Ithaca, but still wanted confirmation. -Gunman69 17:15, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

RE:

Legal reasons. I'm afraid that that's all I can say at the moment. -MT2008 02:12, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

That's totally cool. I knew there was a good reason. Just thought I'd ask. -Gunman69 03:13, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Hill Street Blues

Thanks for the compliment and all the additional help you've been giving me with the page! I got the first season on DVD for my birthday so I should have those finished in the next two nights or so. Again, thanks for your help IDing the weapons and making the actor pages; your help has been very valuable! Speakeasy804 19:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I can never find it on any channel! Also I heard they're only releasing the first two seasons on DVD and so far no word on whether or not there are any plans for the rest of the show but hopefully that'll change! Speakeasy804 20:21, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Miami Vice

Thanks. It will take some time but after a while it will be a nice page. Also I appreciate all the help I can get on it. Predator20 03:33, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Hulu currently has the first 4 seasons listed. Which pisses me, I bought the dvd's awhile back. Not sure if you can screencap using Hulu. Predator20

Actor Pages

The way you currently make pages is not proper, so I figured I'd shoot you straight. You need to put the actor in two categories [[Category:Actor]] and if they are male [[Category:Actor Male]] or female [[Category:Actor Female]]. After this, you must search the site for every instance of an actor's gun use (look up their name before you make their page and find out what they used in each movie as their name shows up in searched) and list them all. And most importantly, you must add an image of the actor from one of their gun usages. For an example, see Jeffrey Dean Morgan's page for proper format, since we now enforce the use of the new chart template. Thanks. - Gunmaster45

Excellent work. - Gunmaster45

Ruger Mini-14/AC556 pic

I added that pic you uploaded to the Ruger Mini-14 page. That one has the real short barrel, which the rest of the Mini-14 pics don't have. Good stuff. Predator20 18:36, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I saw the Phillip Michael Thomas page, great work. While the Miami Vice page is finally getting some images, it has a long ways to go. I figured I would have some pics of Switek, Zito and Trudy by now. But there haven't been any worthy to put on the page. Predator20 21:41, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: No Exit

I have a snap of it, it's not that great but I'll put it up. Also I got one of a police officer in The Hit List climax I need to put up too. Also Oliviera bitching about a set of quotations pissed me off, he doesn't contribute to the Miami Vice page. I don't see why he is worried about it. He could have added the quote marks himself if it meant so much to him. Predator20 17:50, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll go back over the episode on take a snap of it. I'm capping "Glades" right now, there's a crap load of guns in it. A S&W 29 too. What pissed me off about the quotations is he went out of his way to point it out. Whenever you or I need to change a text, we don't say "you need to correct that". One of us corrects it and goes on to something else. Predator20 20:04, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
The Great McCarthy was a waste to even watch. One Beretta Cheetah which Izzey Merino handles, too dark to even use. There are some great guns in Glades. The muzzle loader is fucking cool. I got to get them sorted and numbered. They'll be up soon. Predator20 20:42, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

No screencapping

It seems you can't screencap movies. Let's change that. You are good user and a lot of users don't know how to screencap so i though i would teach you.

Download this:

click

Install it and later on i will show you how to screencap. Install that and we will talk.-Oliveira 20:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

If you installed it then open it and you should see maximize (horrible spelling, i know) the window and see the menu. Up on the menu, along side Audio and Playback you should see Video. Click on that and you should see "Snapshot". When you need to screencap, you should pause the video and press "Snapshot". Depending on the DVD though, there could be a small but noticible delay between you pressing the pause button and the video pausing. It can be a problem sometimes but it depends on the DVD. It has nothing to do with the program. Do all that shit.-Oliveira 20:58, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
You should also make a section on your profile where you make a list of movies you want to screencap. Like my profile or Gunmaster's profile.-Oliveira 21:04, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Oliveira, thanks for letting Gunman69 about the VLC player. I though most users already knew about it. A few things that make it easier. Go to View and click on advanced controls, that allows a snapshot button right where the play buttons are. Then go to Tools and click on preferences. Click on video on and set up the folder where you want the snaps to go and change the format to jpeg pics. Predator20 21:23, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Isn't advanced controls on the "Tools" tab?-Oliveira 21:35, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Goddamm

You are quick on the trigger, man. Holy shit. It was less 2 hours ago that me and predator teached you how to screencap and now you are screencapping? Damm.-Oliveira 23:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Beverly Hills Cop

Great job with Beverly Hills Cop! That page had definitely needed to be redone and you've certainly done it justice! Speakeasy804 03:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Miami Vice

Are you working on just season 2? I'm about to cap Golden Triangle and don't want to be stepping over each other. Or just let me know what episodes you're going to do so I can skip over it. I'll do the same. Predator20 17:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good, get it done quicker. Also Oliveira is freaking out about your spelling of "Colombian". Look at recent changes on the main page and see what he wrote. Predator20 18:26, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I hate those 1 picture episodes. You already made it to episode 17. I thought I was fast going through a season, I'm on episode 16 Rites of Passage. It was really great that you went through most of season 2. I can only work on the page in the evenings during the week. So I figure I can finish up the rest of season 1 through the week. Start on finishing up season 2 this weekend. Also with you writing the text makes it waaay easier for me, since that allows me more time to do caps. The page is really coming along, look at what it was a week ago. There wasn't shit on there. --Predator20 22:35, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
No problem, I've always tried to be educated on all eras of firearms, not just modern weaponry like most users here do. That's why I can also do westerns and even further back in history. - Gunmaster45

Been thinking. I think we should categorize the guns on Vice. Handgun, shotgun, and rifle section, no separate "assault rifle" section. It's not a necessary thing to do on movie with 15 guns, we got 75 right now. I noticed when I was adding screencaps last night, it took me forever to find the gun I needed. What do you think? Also I'll go back on the pilot and grab that CAR-15 barrel. --Predator20 21:20, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. The page has really come a long way. It looks sharp. In my opinion Miami Vice deserves to have a great page. And I've added the show to my list of contributions. Thanks again. It's been a great team effort and lots of fun. --Jcordell 06:05, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I have both of those snaps already in "Sons and Lovers". I'll post them up. "Irish Eyes" is capped.--Predator20 18:54, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I forgot all about his gun being changed. I have 1 good shot that I'll post up. --Predator20 22:08, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I always wonder why they didn't keep the SIG. Just hard chrome the slide and be done with it. Also I really hated that pink Miami Vice title. The only reason I put it up was because we were past season 1. Then they changed it to the purplish silver for season 3 which looks better to me. That pink was too much. There is some stock photos in the beginning of "Irish Eyes" that I need to put up and I'll make one section for the handgun display. --Predator20 22:23, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

They had to hard chrome the slide on the Bren Ten. So it could have been done to the SIG. I guess they had to go with the coolest new gun. Season 3 is pretty good. Also season 4 and 5 may take me longer because I haven't even watched an episode from them. I had finally finished up season 3 when I decided to start messing with the page. --Predator20 22:38, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll write the episode on the pics. Yeah I have been stalling and stalling on season 4 and 5 didn't want to ruin the series for me. Got to watch them sometime. --Predator20 23:28, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

If you want to put up that Hi-Power go ahead. On "Cuba Libre" there is an odd M16 style gun in the episode. Has a weird receiver. I don't if I'll have time to put it up Fri, maybe Sat along with the rest of the episode. We're about to eclipse Mail Call.--Predator20 01:46, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

It's no problem writing the descriptions. You take care and I hope everything turns out okay. --Predator20 12:39, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

I was really hoping that the Vice page wouldn't get broken up. It would have only gotten worse as more episodes were done. -Predator20 04:06, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I was planning on going back over the episodes I capped for season 3. To see if any needed to be added. (There is still some from season 1 and 2 I need to add too.) I think there is still around 8 episodes remaining for the season also. I've been working on movies. But don't worry, probably cap at least 2 or 3 episodes this weekend and get any from previous episodes up. -Predator20 14:14, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Season 1 MV

I think I got everything worthwhile in the last few episodes. I got some good shots from "Nobody Lives Forever". But there wasn't anything new, so I figured no point in adding them. If I missed anything good in "Evan" or 'Lombard". Let me know. This weekend I'll pick up on the end of season 2. --Predator20 02:13, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

"Rafa"

You may want to send him a message. I think he was one of the original contributors on Miami Vice. The custom 1911 deserves its own section when we get to it. --Predator20 23:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

It shouldn't be too hard to see that it's being revamped by all the pics. He was basically putting back his original contributions. Maybe he saw it as, "those are missing". Maybe we should put at the top of the page that season 1 is done and part of season 2 is. The remaining seasons will be added soon. --Predator20 23:16, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I saw that you sent him a message, he usually replies on his own talk page. I think the main page would be best, not everyone checks the talk page. --Predator20 23:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Take a look.

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Special:LongPages --Predator20 21:04, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

It's not just artwork.

It's one of the loading screens, therefore it's in and part of the game. Anyway, we name guns on movie posters all the time. Vangelis 05:41, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I could try, yes. I think for the most part the loading screens depict guns that are actually in the game itself, though; I was just struck by that one when starting up GTA IV, and saw it wasn't listed. In the end, any gun that appears after you turn the game on is in the game, and I've added guns that only showed up in associated promotional artwork or renders before, like the FN FNC in Dark Sector that ended up as a G36 in the actual game. I figure it's about the same as listing guns which only show up in movie poster art and trailers, which we do all the time. Vangelis 05:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Hill Street Blues

Yeah, I'll admit I was always wondering about Hunter's revolver myself and I thought I had seen or heard somewhere it was a Python. I'll try and get some caps of the grips; if you want I can just post them to your talk page so you can see for yourself without making any dedicated arguments on the HSB page itself yet? I finally got the second season so I'll probably do some more shots from it tonight (if not, tomorrow) and I'll try and grab one since it's almost always in his holster in any scene he's in. Speakeasy804

Also, regarding the recent additions I saw you had made: the pistol I identified as a Browning Hi-Power, I thought I had noticed a similar design in the slide as the HP. Perhaps a better trained eye than my own would be able to discern which firearm it was. Also, the 1911 that LaRue places on the desk in the first episode (the one I had said was a Mk IV Series 70), I had identified as the Series 70 because of the Colt emblem on the grips that is characteristic of a Series 70 1911. However, if any markings on it prove it to be a standard 1911 rather than the Series 70, then I'll eat my words and we can change it. Also, thanks for all your help with the page, I'm glad to see another fan of the show on here! (And of course, all the work you and Predator20 have been doing with Miami Vice has been spectactular, I'd imagine you've been pretty busy!) - Speakeasy804 02:15, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Miami Vice season 2

Do you keep any of your excess pics from season 2? I have a few I kept from the few episodes I did. They were good pics but we already had enough on the page. The season 1 page looks full and great. Need to do the same with the other seasons. -Predator20 00:41, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Will do. -Predator20 12:32, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
