[[Image:Uzi.jpg|400px|thumb|none|[[Uzi]] - 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.]]

[[Image:SteyrTMP.jpg|400px|thumb|none|[[Steyr TMP]] - Another badass submachine gun that, just like the Uzi, has gathered an eternal badass look in cinema as being either the bad guy weapon, or the weapon of the good guys. Even though you might not be able to take out your opponents with the 9mm, you can still delay their advance with a barrage of cover-fire.]]
[[Image:Flintlockrifle2.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[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 This rifle is SO outdated and no one uses it anymore!'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!]]

[[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.]]

[[Image:UMP 45.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[H&K UMP]] - And to think, whoever thought that the German firearm manufacturers would get it right by manufacturing a submachine gun that could tame the power of the .45 ACP round? While we Americans have wimped out in favor of the 9mm?]]
[[Image:LWRC psd RifleA.jpg|500px|thumb|none|[[LWRC 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!]]

[[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.]]

[[Image:Minigun 2.JPG|500px|thumb|none|[[GE M134 Minigun]] - Eh... while this machine gun may look badass, I am personally turned off by the fact that the thing runs on batteries to make the barrels spin. Because once again, if you are in a situation where an EMP blast has occurred, this gun would be out of action! Unless it is EMP-shock protected somehow, but what electronically powered guns are EMP-shock protected? The answer is VERY few. I think I will stick with the Browning M2.]]
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.
