[[Image: | [[Image:ColtAnaconda.jpg|400px|thumb|none|[[Colt Anaconda]] - I just love the feel of this revolver. Plus, it's made by Colt, which is another reason why it's one of my personal favorites.]] | ||
[[Image: | [[Image:S&WModel686.jpg|400px|thumb|none|[[Smith & Wesson Model 686]] - A little more powerful than the previous one, but it still begs the question to your target "Do you feel lucky? Punk?"]] | ||
[[Image: | [[Image:Smith&Wesson500-4inch.jpg|400px|thumb|none|[[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] - Yeah, yeah, I know, this gun is an overpowered beast. But when you are under attack from a savage wild animal when you are out hunting, wouldn't you reach for this revolver?]] | ||
[[Image: | [[Image:RugerMkIIIBlued.jpg|400px|thumb|none|[[Ruger Mk III]] - If I needed a naturally silenced, low caliber weapon that still packs a nasty punch when entering the brain of a zombie during the zombie apocalypse, then I would choose this weapon.]] | ||
[[Image: | [[Image:MP7 40rdmag.jpg|400px|thumb|none|[[Heckler & Koch MP7]] - This is a good weapon for concealment and providing sufficient cover fire. I hear that the U.S. Secret Service also uses this weapon aside from the FN P90, hmm...]] | ||
[[Image: | [[Image:Ruger-Mini-14.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[Ruger Mini-14]] - I just like the overall feel of this rifle.]] | ||
[[Image: | [[Image:Us m14 dmr 02.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[M14 Rifle]] - Wow... I just love this rifle. Give me this rifle, a crapton of ammunition, camouflage, rations, and put me in a wooded area where I can easily hide, and I would use this rifle to it's fullest extent!]] | ||
[[Image: | [[Image:M1 Garand.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[M1 Garand]] - The best friend of an infantryman... PERIOD. You can drag this baby through the most roughest combat scenarios for a week without servicing it and it will still work for you!]] | ||

[[Image:FN | [[Image:FN SCAR-L (Standard).jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[FN SCAR]] - A pretty good improvement over the M4 carbine.]] | ||

[[Image: | [[Image:FNP90.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[FN P90]] - It may look like a toy, but this gun still packs a nasty punch when the going gets tough. There was a claim some time ago saying that the 5.7x28mm SS190 FN rounds could penetrate 40 layers of Kevlar from 200 yards away, but I don't know how much of that is true. But nevertheless, the FN P90 is being used by both SWAT and other law enforcement agencies in the United States. Along with the Navy SEALS and the U.S. Secret Service.]] | ||
[[Image: | [[Image:Heckler and Koch 416.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[Heckler & Koch 416]] - The fact that you can shoot this gun when it's waterlogged, muddy, dirty, or full of sand, makes it awesome.]] | ||

Hell, I'd use this rifle to defend myself as well!]] | ||
[[Image: | [[Image:Magpul masada.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[Remington ACR/Magpul Masada]] - Damn! Another assault rifle that you can shoot when it is waterlogged?! Why isn't the U.S. Military using this along with the H&K 416?!]] | ||

ThatoneguyJosh
Name: Josh
Age: 22
State: California
Country: United States of America
Who am I?
I guess to start this off, my name is Josh, and I hail from the hot and sunny state of California. Yeah, yeah, I know... One of the most pro-liberal states in the union with crazy wildfires, shit weather, restrictive gun laws, and will supposedly fall into the ocean and join Hawaii in 2012...
Ok, ok, now that I got those god-awful jokes out of my system, I guess I will tell you more about myself...
I am your average-joe Southern California resident who happens to be a gun-lover. I first discovered this site in the winter of 2009 when I was searching for what kind of handgun the Joker used in the film The Dark Knight, and after a time of some anonymous editing of a few pages and picture captions, I decided to create an account here on IMFDB for the hell of it. I enjoy this site and I think it has one of the best insights as to what kinds of firearms were used in movies.
I currently do not own any firearms, but I have handled and fired several different firearms throughout most of my life (from simple hunting rifles to modern handguns). I am also an airsofter and I currently own 6 airsoft firearms; a shotgun and 5 pistols.
I guess the only things left for me to say is that most of the time, I am a fun-loving guy and I don't mind making new friends or having friendly discussions or debates about guns or movies. I will stick around this site for a bit and help out on the articles that need work where it is needed. Other than that, feel free to hit me up on any questions or discussions that you guys want to have with me.
Pages that I have worked on/edited
Batman: Gotham Knight - The page looked very good, I commend whoever got the good screenshots from the film, the only thing it was lacking was some picture captions that were relevant to the film, so I took the liberty to add some back when I was an anonymous editor.
The Boondocks - I took the liberty to add some additional captions to the page's images.
Hot Fuzz - I added some picture captions to that page back when I was an anonymous editor. Although they have probably been removed by now if people think I was 'insulting' the actors with my picture captions. Which I wasn't to begin with... oh well...
Friday - The picture captions were kind of half-assed and they did not give a thorough description, especially on two pictures that were about 2 firearms that were shown to appear in the movie. So I took the liberty to fix up the picture captions. And thanks to User:Predator20 for adding in a movie poster!
High School of the Dead - There were a few lacking pictures in the firearms descriptions, and I decided to edit some of the picture captions so that they would be relevant to the images.
Zombies of Mass Destruction - I worked on putting captions for the images on that page. Whoever created the page, I commend you. But could you have done a better job on the screencaps?
Left 4 Dead - Did a few minor edits here and there
Left 4 Dead 2 - Did some minor edits here and there on this page too.
Battle: Los Angeles - Fixed a few sloppy looking areas on the page, and added a notice letting first-time viewers know that all the images on the page are screencaps from the film's first trailer unless otherwise noted.
Zombieland - I took the liberty to fix up the page a little bit.
Favorite Films
Patton - Perhaps another one of the greatest war films of all time, and a film about one of the greatest war heroes of all time.
Independence Day - Don't bring in reality when you watch this movie. Think of it as a modern (for the 90s) reimagining of the film 'Earth V.S. The Flying Saucers and 'The War of the Worlds', just without sharing the same titles
Saving Private Ryan - One of the best war films of all time
Black Hawk Down - Second best war film behind Saving Private Ryan
Cloverfield - If you are gonna watch this movie, watch it on a smaller screen, not a huge screen. Especially if you get dizzy from fast, first-person motion in a movie
Batman Begins - Batman needed a necessary reboot after the colossal failure
The Dark Knight - The number 2 movie of all time
The Punisher (2004) - Because both films actually nailed down what the Punisher is all about
Punisher: War Zone - Because both films actually nailed down what the Punisher is all about
Transformers - Pretty good live-action adaptation
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Just as good as the first one
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Pretty damn good, but it could have been better
Star Wars - Oh yes folks, there are real-world firearms shown in these movies that were chopped and built to resemble futuristic space weaponry
Night of the Living Dead (1968) - For the late 1960s, this film shocked ALOT of people, and this was before the rating system came into effect!
Dawn of the Dead (1978) - One of the greatest movie sequels of all time!
Dawn of the Dead (2004) - Eh... it was a fairly decent remake, but nothing special
Day of the Dead (1985) - Pretty damn good 3rd film
Land of the Dead - Goddamn it George Romero, why did you have to make your zombies in this movie learning to get smarter? That just takes away the realism that the first 3 films had! (Aside from that one zombie in the 3rd film learning how to use firearms)
Diary of the Dead - Thank you for going back to basics with this one George.
Survival of the Dead - Pretty good sequel to the other most recent one you made, but it's not exactly worthy of the title 'one of the greatest movie sequel of all time'
Evil Dead - Too funny
Evil Dead II - Double the laughter and funniness
Army of Darkness - Eh... I think this one is like how Spider-Man 3 turned out. Wimping out to go a little mainstream and straying away from what the first 2 films capitalized on and made so popular
28 Days Later - Ok, this one was a decent update to the zombie genre
28 Weeks Later - Pretty good sequel, but nothing special in the eyes of some people
Zombies of Mass Destruction - Pretty good independent horrorfest film, why isn't there a page on this site about the film?!
Zombieland - Wow, pretty damn good Hollywood! I am impressed that you made a good and decent zombie film!
Doomsday - Interesting story
Avatar - It was pretty damn good, especially the visuals, but as far as the story is concerned? Nothing too original in it
Tomb Raider - Yeah yeah, I like this movie. At least it's more better than the other shit videogame movie adaptations of late!
Goldeneye - Most awesome James Bond film of all time
Heat - Epic bank robbery scene + shootout in the middle of a city street with no film soundtrack in the background, only the sound of constant assault rifle sounds = EPIC SHOOTOUT in film history.
Public Enemies - Michael Mann has done it yet again!
Die Another Day - Good Bond flick, and the last good one to star Pierce Brosnan as Bond
Casino Royale (2006) - Ok, this one was pretty good too
Quantum of Solace - A decent sequel
The Wild Bunch - DAMN... Talk about a glorified, bullet-spitting shootout fest! And to think, when this originally came out, they were gonna rate it 'X', but they toned it down to the 'R' rating. But even when they did the theatrical re-release in the 90s, the MPAA was threatening it with an 'NC-17' rating! Now that is epic
Watchmen - Perhaps the closest that Hollywood will ever get to nailing down a good adaptation of Alan Moore's greatest comic epics.
The Matrix - Good film
The Matrix Reloaded - Pretty good sequel, and an epic car chase to prove it's worth
The Matrix Revolutions - It was a fitting closure to the trilogy
The Animatrix - Watch this if you are a real nerd and you want to dig deeper into what the Matrix is all about
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark - AWESOME movie
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - Even better than the last one
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Did this mark the end... ?
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Eh, it turned out pretty good for me, but they should have cut a few things from the film that made it kind of silly
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day
Favorite TV Shows
Lock 'n Load With R. Lee Ermey - Probably one of the best TV shows where the host is a former U.S. Marines gunnery sergeant (and won almost every medal in the book).
Future Weapons - Watching the next generation of weapons in action it pretty cool.
Black Lagoon - A pretty funny gunslinging anime where the whole attitude of the show fits the overall page description that is here on the site.
High School of the Dead - Eh, this show is pretty good for it's zombie theme, but did there have to be SO MUCH fanservice?
Band of Brothers - This was such a good TV series about World War II.
The Walking Dead - Wow. Interesting TV show about a zombie infestation!
Favorite Videogames
Left 4 Dead - What the videogame adaptation of the film 28 Days Later would be like
Left 4 Dead 2 - Very good sequel to the previous game
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - A very well done videogame about a possible war happening in our time, and it FINALLY took players out of the World War II setting (Not that it's a bad thing, but it was getting old after awhile)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Awesome sequel! And it's a videogame that deals with that hypothetical war that could happen one day between the United States and Russia
Call of Duty: Black Ops - Wow, this one was pretty damn good. Maybe not as great as MW2, but it is still a great game
Favorite Firearms
Least favorite firearms
Things I generally cannot stand
Liberals (mainly the anti-gun ones)
Activists of ANY KIND
Extremists of ANY KIND
Anything or Anyone who denounces guns as "the root of all evils" and wants or campaigns for them to be "banned"
PETA
Ignorance of ANY KIND (Whether or not it occurs online or offline)
Anti-hunting campaigners
Anti-Americans of ANY KIND (More specifically, the MANY, and I mean MANY people who were not even born here yet they come into this county only to cheat the system and talk about how much they hate America and how it sucks. You know, if you don't like this country, then move the fuck out of here if it doesn't suit your best interests.)
The corruption within the government of this country
Anyone who frowns upon airsoft guns being 'children's toys', and telling airsofters to 'grow up and buy a real gun'. (NEWSFLASH MORONS: Airsoft comes close to mimicking the real deal! So much that now the United States Military and Law Enforcement here trains with airsoft FIRST before handling, using, and firing the real deal. So if you are gonna go out of your way to tell me to 'grow up and get a real gun, airsoft noob', then it is YOU who needs to grow the fuck up and get your facts straight.)
People who say that "guns kill people" (Are you serious? Saying that a machine kills people is just as ignorant as saying that a pencil will make spelling errors. A gun WON'T kill a person unless someone picks it up, disengages the safety, and fires it. Just like a pencil won't make spelling errors unless someone picks up the damn pencil and writes with it.)
Uwe Boll and Paul Anderson videogame films, and any other shitty videogame film that completely trashes the original source material (Except for a few that could be classified as "good"). (But come on folks... SOMEONE out there needs to tell Hollywood to either STOP making these shitty films, or actually hire directors, producers, writers, and actors with some ACTUAL FUCKING TALENT, and make these adaptations into something GOOD)
My airsoft guns
My airsoft guns are modeled after the following real-world firearms:
