State: California... yeah, yeah, I know. The most pro-liberal state in the Union that is filled with crazy wildfires, shitty weather, filled with ALOT of extremist anti-gun people and politicians, RESTRICTIVE gun laws, and will supposedly fall into the ocean and join Hawaii in 2012... satisfied much?
Country: United States of America
What is your occupation: Airsofter
What are your political views: Conservative-minded Independent with some Libertarian tendencies (I am very heavily supportive on pro-gun ownership rights and pretty much all the other rights that is granted to us, the common folks of the United States, by the Bill of Rights)
Are you an asshole: Nah. I'm generally a very chill guy. But if someone starts picking fights with me for no reason or no validation, then, and only then, will I act like an asshole.
What is your stance on guns: As Charlton Heston and the NRA says: "FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS!"
What do you look like: Seriously? Like you just cannot type up my name into Facebook, YouTube, or MySpace and see what I look like on there? How lazy are you?
What are your favorite films: Wow... that is a really tough question to ask me. Hell, this is a tough question to ask of anyone. But if I really had to pick, then I would say that my interests generally gear towards the intellectual, action-packed, apocalypse and post-apocalypse themed, historical and non-historical themed, bloody, sci-fi, monster mashing, cult hits, good story deliveries, and the odd and rare ones. And I like a few comedy flicks here and there, but NOT the ones that push the R rating as far as it can possibly go to the point where it is no longer funny.
What are your favorite TV shows: I don't watch TV anymore
What is your favorite anime: You know, as good as Japanese animation is, Western animation definitely gives it a run for it's money. Too bad Western animation is instantly disqualified on this site because if there are any guns in them, they don't even look remotely "real"... Personally, I think someone needs to let Western animators know that if they want guns in their works, then they need to get up off their asses, get out of the studio, go to a gun range, study and learn about how firearms work and how they are designed and how they look... too bad those animation studio executives and employees don't return my calls. Anyway, I do have a few favorite anime here and there, but if I had to pick, my top favorites are Black Lagoon and High School of the Dead.
What are your favorite videogames: Hmm... well, to start this off. I should say that I used to like videogames that portrayed firearms in the most "unrealistic" way possible, but I am moving up from being constantly attracted to that style of games, to the games that actually depict firearms in a more "realistic" way, such as Medal of Honor (2010) and Homefront.
Who are your favorite actors/actresses: Again, another really tough question to ask from me. But to simplify this answer, I generally like actors who are not the typical anti-gun extremist liberals like so many other actors in Hollywood are. But that they are cool and relaxed about the usage and ownership of firearms, and don't give a crap about what people think about their beliefs.
Do you own any guns: Currently, no. I only own airsoft guns at the moment. Now before you bitch at me to 'stop being a little kid and go buy a real gun', I want to inform you that airsoft has become the main training tools for law enforcement AND the military. And it has also been a godsend for film armorers and filmmakers when a scene calls for non-firing weapons in it. So it's NOT a kid's toy. Hell, it never was to begin with, since you have to be 18 or older to purchase airsoft weapons. So think this over before you go out of your way to insult airsofters like myself. But soon I'll purchase a gun. Probably a cheap one to begin with, like a long gun from WWII since they are so common and are usually the cheapest at sporting goods stores and gun stores, and generally, you can buy them without having to wait since they are more than 50 years old. After that, I'll probably buy a pistol. But only time will tell.
Pages that I have worked on/edited
Since this page became more than 30 kilobytes long, I decided to cut it down a bit and leave out a few things. But to answer this question, I have worked on too many pages to constantly keep track of them. And in respect to the hard work of those who went out of their way to make the best pages on this site, I will NOT tamper with their work, PERIOD. I only work on lame, weak or abandoned pages. NOT the good, awesome and perfect ones.
Favorite Firearms
Pistols
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 really hot woman were turned into a gun, then we would get the M1911... Maybe Jesus was reincarnated in John Browning...Error creating thumbnail: File missingBrowning Hi-Power - Another favorite of mine from the imaginative mind of John Browning. Great design, great looks, a good, sturdy feel, and another cinema classic.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFN Five-seveN - Another great firearm that is manufactured by FN. As Justin Hammer says in Iron Man 2, the Belgians definitely make something better than waffles! And I would say the same thing for this gun as I stated for the M1911; It's as if someone took a really hot woman, turned it into a gun, and we got the FN Five-seveN!Error creating thumbnail: File missingClaridge Hi-Tec/Goncz GA - I like this pistol on the fact that despite the company differences between the original makers and the current makers of this pistol, it nails down that "space age" look that the overpriced and unwieldy Desert Eagle just doesn't cut out to be anymore, and both versions are finely finished and sturdy. Now it probably won't be long before Mr. Goncz sends me a threatening email asking me to remove this weapon from my user page, just like he has threatened this site before with legal action.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 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 missingGlock 21 - Ok, ok, I will admit that out of all the Glock pistols that have been manufactured, the Glock 21FS is pretty much the only Glock pistol that I can honestly say, I like the feel and the look that the pistol has. This would probably be my first choice in buying a pistol.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. If I was ever dual-wielding handguns (a strongly discouraged tactic, but what the hell, it still looks pretty cool), then my choices would be this gun in my left hand, and an M1911 in my right hand.Error creating thumbnail: File missingLuger P08 - Pretty awesome handgun. You gotta respect the Germans for their exquisite firearms manufacturing.File:WaltheP1.jpgWalther P38 - Yet another finely manufactured pistol by the Germans!Error creating thumbnail: File missingJericho 941 - Gotta respect Israel's fine weapons manufacturing! And besides, this is more better to have at your side than an overpriced, unwieldy, heavy Desert Eagle.Error creating thumbnail: File missingCZ-75 - Another finely manufactured pistol!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 missingBeretta 93R "Auto 9" - If there was one weapon from any movie that I would love to own, it would have to be the Auto 9. Even though I am not a fan of Beretta pistols in general, I gotta admit, if it wasn't for the Robocop movies, then this highly customized pistol would have faded into obscurity. This is truly a badass pistol.
Revolvers
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 missingSmith & Wesson Schofield - This was another one of the greatest pistols in the West, too bad it was mostly overshadowed by Colt.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSmith & Wesson Model 29 - "Do I feel lucky? Well do ya... Punk?"Error creating thumbnail: File missingM1917 Revolver - Ah yes, another fine and exquisite piece of firearms manufacturing by Smith & Wesson... And perhaps the revolver competitor to the M1911 around the same time that both guns were manufactured.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 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? Plus, if vampires or werewolves ever become a reality, then this gun would be the equivalent to Hellboy's Samaritan revolver! Along with the Desert Eagle!
Machine Pistols
Error creating thumbnail: File missingKimel AP-9 - While some might argue that the plastic magazine and pistol grip frame is prone to breaking when the gun is fired, this gun actually nailed down what the TEC-9 failed in. And besides, it's better looking than the TEC-9, and it apparently has a finer finish and fit than the TEC-9. So that makes it pretty awesome.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 outclass the Uzi nowadays, 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.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSteyr 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.
Rifles
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 missingWinchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" - Yep, I am a fan of this rifle, and the other updated variants of it that have been showcased throughout the raw years of the old West.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWinchester Model 1873 - Slightly better than the Model 1866, but still just as good.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWinchester Model 1876 - Perhaps one of the last greatest rifles in the production line of Winchester rifles.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 missingMosin-Nagant M91/30 - This is perhaps one of the best rifles that the former Soviet Union has ever manufactured. And I will admit this; whenever I'm playing a World War II-themed videogame and there's a Russian campaign, I usually pick this rifle for secondary use.Error creating thumbnail: File missingKarabiner 98k - Ah yes, another finely manufactured rifle by the Germans! Too bad this rifle is becoming rarer and rarer nowadays... (Well, that's mainly due to the fact that Hitler and his Third Reich is no longer making these weapons!)
Error creating thumbnail: File missingH&K UMP - Another pretty good German-made submachine gun that is gathering it's own 'badass' title in movies as of lately.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 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 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...Error creating thumbnail: File missingMG42 - Oh yes... another great and finely manufactured machine gun. While it is not American-made, it still packs a nasty wallop and will definitely send the bad guys coming onto your position turning the heel and crying for mommy!
Miscellaneous Weaponry
File:CornerShot.gifCornerShot - Ok, ok, I know this is not a real firearm, but it still looks very cool and awesome to use, no?
My airsoft guns
NOTE: Feel free to use my airsoft images to put onto the discussion pages of the firearms that they represent, under the 'additional variants' sections. But please notify me first before doing so. Thanks!
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.
Detonics CombatMaster M1911
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMy latest addition to my airsoft armory, a new M1911 airsoft handgun that is a gas blowback airsoft gun like my S&W M&P .40 and Walther PPK/S are. This gun is manufactured by WE, a Taiwanese company known for making good, high-quality airsoft weapons that are sturdy, durable, and are built to last for YEARS as long as the owners keep them up to date and well-kept. This particular WE M1911 appears to mimic the Detonics CombatMaster M1911, which is why I chose that name for this image and the second one below. Oh, and the real name of the gun is called WE "Caspian Arms" M1911.Error creating thumbnail: File missingHere is my WE "Caspian Arms" M1911 with the magazine out and the slide locked back. It is a pretty impressive bit of machinery by WE. And the orange screw on the end of the barrel is for attaching additional parts to the gun such as suppressors or compensators, which I will probably do so a little later on down the line. But no guarantees.
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 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.
