Batman screenshots

Your screenshots for Batman (1989) appear to be from a DVD source. My screenshots are from a Blu-ray source. Also, the particular screenshot of the Cutts compensator may be look a little more blurry because the particular frame that shows the muzzle flash was in the middle of a focus change. Users are allowed to overwrite previous screenshots if they are from a higher quality source. While using the print screen option is a simple alternative, using the media player VLC and its screengrab function is the best option I have found. Also, the proper term is muzzle flash, (and not sparks) emitting from the barrel of a firearm. Please be aware of the warning at the bottom of the page regarding edits that states: Please note that all contributions to Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors. If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then do not submit it here. Please also sign your posts with --~~~~ --Ben41 (talk) 19:38, 25 September 2012 (EDT)

Do you plan on adding any more screenshots to Batman or Batman Returns? I ask this because it appears that your screencaps appear to be from a source that doesn't match the other screenshots on the page. Also, if you are adding additional screenshots to a section that contains numerous ones already, please make sure that you have a legitimate reason to do so, such as if there's a distinctive characteristic about the firearm not already seen (you should explain this in the caption). A lot of your added screenshots are wide angles where the weapon is very tiny in the frame and there may be subject to exclusion. If you do not want your screenshots replaced or deleted, please consider using a higher quality source and using VLC player. --Ben41 (talk) 21:56, 27 September 2012 (EDT)

VLC Player is a free media player you can download for your computer from Videolan. --Ben41 (talk) 22:30, 27 September 2012 (EDT)

No more screenshots with Printscreen

Please do NOT upload any more screenshots using Printscreen as your images are coming out very blurry and do not match the quality of any of the other screenshots on the page. Please find another way to capture screenshots or else your screenshots will be deleted. If you choose not to heed this request, you may be subject to harsher disciplinary action such as banning of privileges. --Ben41 (talk) 01:59, 17 October 2012 (EDT)

Terminator Screenshot

I removed your screenshot to Terminator 3 because the screenshot was too small and was not significant enough to include. You were told about adding screenshots and what was subject to exclusion. Again, please be careful about adding screenshots to pages that already have numerous screenshots. --Ben41 (talk) 23:14, 30 September 2012 (EDT)

SMG magazines placed behind the trigger.

Excuse me Ben41, but a day ago while I was playing GunApp and Gun Club 2 for Ipod/Iphone/Ipad, I came across this very strange SMG called the TAR-21. What makes it strange is that the magazine is placed BEHIND the trigger instead of in front like most SMGs E.G H&K MP5 and M4A1 Carbine. Whats the purpose of the magazine sometimes being placed behind the trigger instead of in front of it? Is it because it makes it look more cool like the Thompson SMG? Or is it for a different reason? If U know, alert me ASAP. Thanks! Gunnerboy--17:30

This rifle configuration is known as a "Bullpup" configuration and common in such rifles as the Steyr AUG and the L85A1. You can look up "bullpup" on wikipedia to see its advantages.

Grenade launchers rarely used by SWAT/police and no heavy weapons used by SWAT/police

Y is it that most of the time police use machine guns during dangerous criminal situations but they VERY RARELY carry grenade launchers (at least for my knowledge)? E.G During a riot in Vancouver, I noticed police used GL-06 grenade launchers to shoot smoke bombs at the crowd to make arrests easier. But in most crime scenes like in the movie T3: ROTM, police carry machine guns to shoot the T-850 and smoke bombs (to smoke out Katie and get her to safety) but no grenade launchers. It isn't adding up/making any sense for me whatsoever. And also, Y is it that police/SWAT don't use heavy weapons? Such as miniguns, bazookas, missile launchers, tanks, and turret mounted vehicles like police cars and SUVs etc.? I know they carry machine guns and grenade launchers, but it still dosent add things up/make any sense whatsoever. Any advice?--Gunnerboy 11:01 October 6 2012
