[[Image:DesertGold44.jpg|400px|thumb|none|[[Desert Eagle]] - I will admit that this is a pistol that is good for HUNTING ONLY. But as far as a combat scenario goes? Nope, the Desert Eagle fails in that department. Besides, who really had $1 per bullet to spend on those massive Magnum rounds? Not to mention, the Desert Eagle itself is a pretty heavy handgun, and lugging it through a combat scenario could cause the user to get tired after awhile. And another thing, WHAT IS THE POINT OF A GOLD PLATED DESERT EAGLE? Seriously folks, it just jacks the price up even further on these guns and it's a completely useless addition to the weapon that will fade off the more the gun is fired/cleaned, so what is the point?]]

[[Image:Sal8.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[Enfield L85 rifle series]] - While I may like the look and feel of bullpup rifles, this one I am gonna have to pass on because of it's serious faults in the early stages of it's design and production. And besides, isn't it kind of unfair for the British Troops on the frontlines who have to submit one of their only standard issue assault rifles back to the manufacturer because of it's faults?]]

[[Image:M60GPMG.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[M60]] - You know, very much like the M16 rifle, THIS machine gun went through the same problems that the M16 did in Vietnam, the wet conditions, the muddy rice paddies, the dirty jungle environment, etc., and it DID NOT succeed in those departments. The M60 is a heavy, clunky, shitty piece of crap that will, if it does not jam on you, explode in your face by the rough conditions of a weathered combat scenario. No wonder why they called it "The Pig". Because it was a clunky, heavy, piece of shit.]]

Political Views: "A well-regulated Milita, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the People to keep and bear firearms shall NOT be infringed."... so that means if and when the day comes that you want to take away my guns, you will have to pry them from my cold, dead fingers first.
Who am I?
Well, well, well... you found my IMFDB user page... I guess to start this description 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 that is the capital of the entertainment industry, wrought with crazy wildfires, shit weather, restrictive gun laws, ridden with anti-gun politicians, sparkling yet trashy beaches, is shamed to have a city that has the largest homeless population in the U.S., and will supposedly fall into the ocean and join Hawaii in 2012...
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 summer 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, which are described in more details at the bottom of this page from the images that I have uploaded of them.
I also come from a line of family members who have served in the United States Military as Paratroopers, Marines, and Army Medics in some of the most well-known conflicts in human history that the United States has been involved in (Such as World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War), and I am proud of their service and devotion to their duty.
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 (But I am sorry to say that I will not be able to provide any screencaps for pages that need fixing or need to be built. I just don't have the necessary program to do this. Sorry). 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.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire - Fixed up some of the images because they misrepresented the order of events that took place in the film, and I fixed a few of the picture captions.
Pages that I would like to see
Smith & Wesson M&P 40 - I am surprised that this firearm has not appeared on this site.
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.
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, airsoft noob'.
Politicians and activists who say that "guns kill people"
Uwe Boll and Paul Anderson's videogame films.
People who protest by causing destruction and mayhem.
California's bullshit liberal gun laws and firearms restrictions imposed upon the law-abiding citizens of this state.
The politicians and anti-gunners who are labeling the law-abiding gun owners as "domestic terrorists" and how they are the apparent "causes" of Mexico's terrorism and drug cartel war.
The U.N. 'Small-Arms' Treaty.
People (mainly the politicians of the U.N.) who view Blackwater Worldwide (Now known as Xe Services LLC) as some sort of "mercenary group" full of psychotic war vets with tattoos, unkempt beards and hair, unstable mentalities, and in possession of state-of-the-art weaponry that they use for "killing innocents for cash" because they can't hack a civilian job in the real world.
The current state of the music industry.
