Now, HAPPY EDITING! bunni (talk) 15:02, 4 January 2016 (EST)

Actor pages

For images on actor pages, it's more important to get a clear images of the actor's face, unlike on a media page, where it's most important to get a clear image of the weapon. So if you have the movie on hand, get a good image of the actor's face, and he or she is holding a weapon at the same time, all the better.

And are you actually going to do a page for Community? --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:58, 14 September 2016 (EDT)

Have you taken a look at the IMFDB Screencapping Guide? --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:18, 14 September 2016 (EDT)

Walking Dead

The reason I changed the pistol ID is because someone on Facebook apparently took a photo of the actual pistol. Please don't change. --Ben41 (talk) 16:58, 23 November 2016 (EST)

Walking Dead game

Will you be adding screenshots? As it is, it's at best merely incomplete, and I don't like first day in completes. --Funkychinaman (talk) 07:28, 24 December 2016 (EST)

Paul Walker

Please back up all IDs with visual evidence, like screencaps or promotional stills. --Funkychinaman (talk) 07:47, 31 January 2017 (EST)

Contract to Kill

In the future, please find a higher quality source for your screenshots. Your screenshots for Contract to Kill are so blurry that it is very difficult to confirm the identity of the weapons. --Ben41 (talk)

Name mistake

Hey, I didn't realize the actor's name is Daniel Sharman, not Sherman. That was my mistake and didn't realize it until I searched his name. Then you are ready create the page. --User:Thestormjamieson (talk) 03:03, 7 June 2017 (CST)

Reef Break edit

your edit: No. The gun was drawn and already was in the 'stovepiped' position, it was not stovepiped. It was a gas pistol that was out of gas. MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 20:27, 3 March 2020 (EST)

State of Decay 2

Why are you editing an article I created? Wait until I'm done. After that, you can modify it.--Emto_PL (talk) 10:36, 23 June 2021 (EDT)

I don't need any help yet. :)--Emto_PL (talk) 10:46, 23 June 2021 (EDT)

Thank you!

I saw your corrections on Hostage X page! Yup got a pair of things mixed up about the Glocks! I checked back Glock page and you are alright! --Dannyguns (talk) 11:28, 16 July 2021 (EDT)

Your Gunpowder Milkshake edit

I understand that you want things in alphabetical order, but I really think that ordering weapons in rough order of appearance and user relevance is a better idea. Don't want to get into an edit war, so I figured I'd drop you a line about it first.--Mandolin (talk) 09:59, 14 September 2021 (EDT)

Okay, if it's just you being mildly annoyed I'm going to revert it, my original layout was actually organized--Mandolin (talk) 05:20, 15 September 2021 (EDT)

The Matrix SP89/MP5K

If you don't mind, I rolled back your edits. Here's my rationale: The "SP89 (mocked up as MP5K)" entry, and the picture of the gun that we use, is more appropriate when the weapon is a partial conversion (i.e., full-auto sear and MP5K vert grip installed, but all-metal lower receiver remains intact) - such as the guns from Speed and Die Hard with a Vengeance. The MP5K seen in The Matrix may have started out as an SP89, as you documented on the page, but it is not a partial conversion - it's the full conversion with SEF trigger park, paddle mag release, etc. When an H&K gun started out as an HK94 or SP89 but is a full-conversion, we still refer to it by the model to which it has been converted (e.g., an MP5K, in this case). Any of the movie armorers on this site will tell you that the vast majority of the H&K MP5s that you see in Western productions - especially American productions - are transferrable HK94 and SP89 conversions. We'd have to use your approach for almost all of those guns if we do it for this page, and I'd rather not do that. Let me know your thoughts. -MT2008 (talk) 19:46, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
