[[Image:Smith&Wesson MP airsoft.JPG|500px|thumb|none|My Smith & Wesson MP airsoft pistol. This one is just like my Walther PPK/S pistol.

You can see that this pistol comes with the accessory rail on the bottom of the barrel of the handgun, and the trademarks on the front of the barrel that shows how this airsoft gun almost perfectly mimics the .40 caliber version of the S&W MP pistol, the S&W logo and where their manufacturing plant is located underneath the ejector port, and the "S&W Military & Police" logo is seen right before the slide ridges, and on the grips of the pistol. Pretty neat huh?]]
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.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingColt M1911 - Best handgun ever made, PERIOD. Give me this weapon over any other handgun for personal defense or a combat situation. the M1911 is the PURE epitimy of sexiness in a handgun. It's like if a woman were turned into a gun, then we would get the M1911... Maybe Jesus was reincarnated in John Browning...Error creating thumbnail: File missingColt Model 1903 - I absolutely love the look of this early Colt. And to think that it's overall look would be the look that the Colt M1911 would have later on! I love this firearm.Error creating thumbnail: File missingColt Single Action Army - This gun only deserves one phrase: "Be not afraid of any man no matter what his size; when danger threatens, call on me, and I will equalize."Error creating thumbnail: File missingSIG-Sauer P220R - Perhaps the only other .45 handgun that I can honestly say, I enjoy the look and feel of. If I did not have an M1911 in a combat scenario where I need some serious knockdown power, then I would reach for the SIG P220R.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSIG-Sauer P229 - This is perhaps the ONLY 9mm handgun I would ever use. Why? One, because it is sexier than the Beretta 92, two, it is NOT an overrated weapon like the Glock pistols are, and three, the stainless look of the Sport model looks awesome!Error creating thumbnail: File missingMauser C96 - Elegant design if somewhat pricey. But if a gun was made to look good in film, the C96 is that gun (aside from the M1911)Error creating thumbnail: File missingTokarev TT-33 - A nice design and overall look to it. The look and feel is very reminiscent of an M1911/Colt Hammerless hybrid.Error creating thumbnail: File missingLuger P08 - Pretty awesome handgun. You gotta respect the Germans for their exquisite firearms manufacturing.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmith & Wesson Model 29 - "Do I feel lucky? Well do ya... Punk?"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.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmith & Wesson Model 586 - I love this revolver too.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmith & 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?"Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmith & 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?Error creating thumbnail: File missingRuger 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 an apocalypse of the Living Dead, then I would choose this weapon. I also like this pistol because it's look strongly resembles the German Luger P08, and that's cool.Error creating thumbnail: File missingKimel AP-9 - Wow... talk about being based on the TEC-9's design, but being way better and more sturdy than the previous crappy pistol!Error creating thumbnail: File missingHeckler & 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...Error creating thumbnail: File missingUzi - Even though there are far more superior submachine guns that far outclass the Uzi, you can never beat that eternal badass look that the Uzi has. Even though you might not take down your opponent with the 9mm, you will sure delay their advance when you lay down a crapton of cover-fire with this gun.Kentucky Flintlock Rifle - Ok, ok, I can already hear you saying 'Josh! This rifle is SO outdated and no one uses it anymore!' Well guess what knuckleheads? If it wasn't for the Kentucky Flintlock then there would be no United States of America, now would there? That is why I love this rifle. She is a proud veteran of the American Revolution!Error creating thumbnail: File missingRuger Mini-14 - I just like the overall feel of this rifle.Error creating thumbnail: File missingM14 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!Error creating thumbnail: File missingM1A1 Carbine - The best friend of a paratrooper, and the best friend of a zombie killer (If you don't get the meaning behind this phrase, read The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks and you will know what I am talking about)Error creating thumbnail: File missingM1 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!Error creating thumbnail: File missingM1903 Springfield - Hell yeah, I love the look of the Springfield rifles. Sure, the bolt action can be a little bit clumsy if you are fighting in trenches, but if you are fighting underneath sufficient cover, you can still squeeze off your 5 rounds and put them on the targets.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAK-47 - If you need a medium-range assault rifle that wont foul up easily in rough combat conditions, then this is the gun for you!File:CornerShot.gifCornerShot - Ok, ok, I know this is not a real firearm, but it still looks very cool and awesome to use, no?Error creating thumbnail: File missingFN SCAR - A pretty good improvement over the M4 carbine.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFN F2000 - I absolutely love this bullpup rifle out all the other ones that are my current favorites. I just like the overall look and feel of the F2000.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSteyr AUG - Why does this bullpup rifle get so much hate?Error creating thumbnail: File missingFAMAS - I like this rifle, it has such a good look to it and I also enjoy the feel and easy use of some bullpup rifles.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFN 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.Error creating thumbnail: File missingHeckler & Koch 416 - The fact that you can shoot this gun when it's waterlogged, muddy, dirty, or full of sand, makes it awesome.Error creating thumbnail: File missingLWRC PSD - If I were a high value individual or a VIP going through an area where there is bound to be some violent activities against my life, then I would want my security team to be armed with this rifle to defend me. Hell, I'd use this rifle to defend myself as well!Error creating thumbnail: File missingMagpul 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?!Error creating thumbnail: File missingThompson Submachine Gun - Perhaps the most famous American-made submachine gun that became famous in both real life as well as in the movies... the good old Thompson! Seriously, give me this gun over any other submachine gun any day of the week!Error creating thumbnail: File missingMossberg 590 - A good shotgun.File:1887Shotgun PaulNewman.jpgWinchester Model 1887 - I don't know why, but I like the look of a shotgun that has that old Western-style lever action mechanism that you would see in the rifles of that era.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWinchester Model 1300 Defender - I like the feel of this shotgun, especially the 'Defender' version with it's extended magazine tube... more rounds eh?Error creating thumbnail: File missingRemington 870 - Nothing speaks "American made, American proud" better than this shotgun. (Aside from the M1911)Error creating thumbnail: File missingBrowning Over and Under shotgun - I just love the feel of another one of Browning's magnum opuses, a double barreled shotgun where the barrels are not side-by-side, but rather, one on top of the other!Error creating thumbnail: File missingAA-12 Auto Assault - Talk about a shotgun designed for military use from the ground up! I would choose this is I needed to lay down some serious firepower for my buddies in a combat scenario. And talk about manufacturing and low-maintenance weapon as well!Error creating thumbnail: File missingBrowning M2 - Ah... John Browning's magnum opus... You want to rip your enemy into tiny little bite sized pieces? Then this is the gun for you my friend...
Least favorite firearms
Error creating thumbnail: File missingM16 rifle series - Oh boy... I know this is gonna get me alot of hate mail, but come on folks. The M16 is such a piece of crap that can break under extreme stress such as rough, weathered, watery combat scenarios. It's been proven in Vietnam, and it is still proven to this day with the M4 Carbine. In fact, go to this link here [1] and you will see how hard the M4 fails in comparison to an HK416 in watery conditions. But to give the M16 the benefit of the doubt, I will say this; if I were to find myself in a combat scenario where I am fighting on city streets, THEN I would reach for the M16. But as far as fighting in the rough weathered elements? I would choose a rifle that wont get fouled easilyError creating thumbnail: File missingGlock pistols - Now this one will get me another ton of hate mail... but seriously folks, Glock pistols are OVERRATED. All this false advertising that the company does about their guns never breaking, never jamming, and never going under stress in combat scenarios... it's all a load of crap. And now Glock has hammered the final nail in the coffin for the respect that alot of people once had for them when they went around suing airsoft companies for making airsoft versions of their firearmsError creating thumbnail: File missingXM8 - This gun is just way too ugly and unappealing to me. And if the plastic shell of this rifle is known to melt after such intensive fire, causing the rifle to malfunction, you would be screwed in a combat scenario because your weapon would be useless! Seriously, give me an FN SCAR or a H&K 416 over this laughable "battle rifle of the future".Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeretta 92 pistol series - What a piece of crap this handgun is. Seriously folks, I don't understand why our boys and girls in uniform are armed with this piece of crap handgun that will break and jam easily in rough combat situations. I've handled both the Inox and M9 versions of this handgun at a gun store once, and the damn things felt like they were made out of cheap metal that would break easily in my hands! Seriously, give me an M1911 over this piece of shit.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPara-Ordnance P-18 - Ok, I love the M1911 and all it's variants, but for this one, I am gonna have to pass on it. Why? Because it is chambered in 9mm, and I do not like 9mm handguns. Give me something else that has knockdown power.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFranchi SPAS-12 - Oh boy... this one is gonna get me another ton of hate mail... I can just feel it. But come on folks, the SPAS-12 is such an overrated shotgun that has been used WAY too many times in movies since the 1980s. What is so good about it anyway? Just because a villain in a movie handles that shotgun he is suddenly the most ultimate badass ever? And besides, the gun is known to have some serious faults as noted in the Talk: Franchi SPAS-12 page here on the siteError creating thumbnail: File missingIntratec TEC-9 - Yeah, not exactly my choice of weapon. Especially if it is made with low-end metal and plastic that causes the gun to malfunction, then I would rather choose a weapon made out of a more solid construction instead of a shit construction. And I will take my stab at the media and politicians by saying this; Congratulations on swaying the people of this nation by spreading false information and lies about this gun, the company, and the criminals who used it for ILLEGAL PURPOSES and getting Intratec shut down for no reason whatsoever. You have hammered the final nails in the coffins of respect that VERY FEW people had for you idiots, I say no moreError creating thumbnail: File missingDesert 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?Error creating thumbnail: File missingEnfield 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?Error creating thumbnail: File missingM60 - 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.

My airsoft guns
My airsoft guns are modeled after the following real-world firearms:
Colt M1911A1
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMy Colt M1911A1 'YT385' airsoft pistol. This one is my personal favorite out of my current airsoft armory, since it perfectly mimics the layout of the original M1911A1 that was manufactured from 1924 onwards to the present day. However, there are no company logos or a serial number on the slide of this pistol like what the original M1911A1 has. I will soon replace the orange barrel with a metal one and black out the 'Made in China' logo. This gun is manufactured by a company called Yu Teng.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe left side of my Colt M1911A1 'YT385' airsoft pistol. You can see that it is an almost-perfect replication of the original Colt M1911A1, everything from the grip safety, thumb safety, the 'S' and 'F' abbreviations for 'Safe' and 'Fire' on the thumb safety, and the 'G.H.D.' abbreviation below the slide lock when the pistol's slide locks back after it's magazine has been exhausted. Like I said before, this airsoft pistol is my personal favorite out of all my other guns in my airsoft armory, and I will carry this into ANY airsoft game I play.
Mauser C96/CM 712
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMy Mauser C96/CM712 airsoft pistol. This one, like my Colt M1911A1, is made out of an all-metal construction, and yes, the 'broomhandle' grip is made of ACTUAL WOOD. I thought it was plastic when I first opened the box, but to my surprise, the grips are made out of actual wood. Or rather, synthetic wood that perfectly resembles real wood. I took the orange plug off the end of the barrel for display purposes when I took this photo. This gun is manufactured by UK Arms.
AMT Hardballer Longslide 9mm Hybrid
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMy AMT Hardballer airsoft pistol, it is modeled after the Longslide version of the M1911. However, unlike the last 2 airsoft pistols, this one is an all-plastic construction, nothing really fancy about it, but surprisingly, it has lasted me for 3 years when I bought it back in 2008. Despite all the wear and tear on the gun I might have caused to it, it still functions properly. One odd thing about this airsoft gun, is that there are trademarks on the side that claims it's a Longslide model chambered in 9x19mm... but the real-life AMT Hardballer Longslides are not chambered in 9mm... are they? But don't ask me about the name of the company that made this pistol, because the box it came in did not describe a company name at all.
Walther PPK/S
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMy Walther PPK/S airsoft gun. This one, unlike the previous 3, is a CO2 gas-powered version that is manufactured by Umarex USA, and it's a very good airsoft pistol. It has an all metal construction with the exception of the grips and the magazine, and it fires METAL bbs instead of hard plastic ones. I just wish that Umarex didn't have to add that unnecessary twisting wrench built into the gun to tighten the CO2 canisters when you gas up this gun. Because it just makes it look a little bit too ugly. But in any case, this is a good airsoft handgun. But I would suggest getting a different Walther PPK pistol instead of this one if you don't want that ugly twisting wrench on the bottom.
Smith & Wesson MP .40S&W
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMy Smith & Wesson MP airsoft pistol. This one is just like my Walther PPK/S pistol. It is a simple gas-powered pistol that is made of sturdy abs plastic, and the magazine is all metal. This airsoft pistol is manufactured by KWC (You can see the KWC logo on the accessory rail on the bottom), and licensed by CyberGun. Both companies have made superior and high-quality airsoft firearms over the years, and I tip my hat to them for going out of their way to make such good firearms. This airsoft gun is another one of my personal favorites, and it is my backup sidearm in any airsoft game that I play.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe left side of my Smith & Wesson MP airsoft pistol. You can see that this pistol comes with the accessory rail on the bottom of the barrel of the handgun, and the trademarks on the front of the barrel that shows how this airsoft gun almost perfectly mimics the .40 caliber version of the S&W MP pistol, the S&W logo and where their manufacturing plant is located underneath the ejector port, and the "S&W Military & Police" logo is seen right before the slide ridges, and on the grips of the pistol. Pretty neat huh?
Mossberg 500/590
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMy Mossberg 500/590 airsoft shotgun. This is one of the many airsoft shotguns that does not rely on using shells for the bb's, but rather, relies on loading up the bbs through a small opening on the top of the shotgun (which saves players alot of trouble in trying to go around the battlefield trying to locate all the shells for their airsoft shotgun). And very much like my AMT M1911, this gun has lasted me for nearly 3 years when I bought it back in 2008. But very much like my other favorite M1911, I cannot tell you the name of the manufacturer of this shotgun, the box and the instruction manual didn't even name a company at all, all it gave be was a bunch of Asian gibberish that I could not understand.
