::I disagree. That page is very educational and the BFG has appeared in the Doom movie and the gun has been referenced in popular culture a lot. It should stay.--[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 20:42, 22 December 2009 (UTC) | ::I disagree.

Revision as of 21:26, 22 December 2009
Where this goes
I think this should be merged into the Rules, Standards and Principles page.--Oliveira 14:48, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
- Being the first page of the Fictional firearms listing, it helps new members to not have to wade through the entire rules listing to see it. Also it keeps visitors from being confused as to the separate listing of these weapons. Just because we all know the rules doesn't mean that visitors can quickly figure it out, it helps to segregate it when it helps the new visitors figure out how we are organizing things MoviePropMaster2008 19:11, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, so there is going to be more pages about fictional firearms? Ok then. I didn't know that.--Oliveira 19:24, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

a few months ago i made a halo page. ok none of the weapons exist but i recently found a movie called HALO: landfall its directed by Neil blokamp the same guy as district 9. maybe does this make it qualify for the site. not the game but the movie. they are all based off of the halo guns. smish34
i have no idea. also were you the one that commented on my discussion page about how i think the halo b,rifle looks like an XM8 an FAMAS. but they fully fire on the film. watch it on youtube.
- Yeah, I did say that. I also watched the film. The weapons were all obviously fake props or airsoft replicas. The Muzzle flashes were all CGI. I think the only weapon that looked real was the Minigun on the back of the jeep. We'll need more users to come and watch the film to see if the weapons are built on real guns.--Oliveira 18:40, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
ok thats a good idea
Shouldn't this page be locked from editing? --AdAstra2009 19:34, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Doom BFG
- According to the criteria for fictional weapons the (Doom) - BFG should be deleted. Mainly rule # 5 >"Fantasy weapons which have no basis in real weapons technology do not belong here. So a Force Lance from "Andromeda" or a Klingon Disruptor from "Star Trek" or a Light Sabre from "Star Wars" do not qualify. No one would ever wonder if these weapons really exist today.
