Apocalypse Now

First format problem. You can ditch the page links in the categories (meaning the gun names in the double equal signs). Second thing. I only wrote just the gun name in the description section on Extreme Prejudice because I didn't know what to write at all. When you know, don't put the linked gun name first, just write the description and link the gun name when it shows up in the text. Example:

M79 grenade launcher

An [[M79 grenade launcher]] is used by The Roach ([[Credit Actor using IMDB]]) to kill NVA hiding in the barbed wire. His has a custom tiger stripe camouflage paint job.

Understand? Use the M1911A1 section as reference. - Gunmaster45

I know, I was planning on it. The roach text was already written. Just put the gun link before it so I wouldn't forget about. I was planning on uploading the images first then doing the text. But you can write the text, no prob for me. Predator20

I don't remember the movie well enough to write the descriptions, but I'll fix any mistakes you make when you finish. BTW, check out your profile, I set it up so you can work with it. I also added your Desert Eagle pic to the Desert Eagle page. Let me know when you need me to build the Year of the Dragon page. - Gunmaster45

hhh

The Desert Eagle

That's a nice piece you've got there. It's good we have a picture of the Mark I on this site, because pictures of that version are extremely rare on the Internet, yet I know there are quite a few movies from the 1980s which feature them (I'm adding your picture to pages for some of those movies as we speak). I think this really might just be the best picture of this gun anywhere on the 'Net. -MT2008 22:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Uzi Magazines

the reason Uzi Magazines are seen in an L shape is that there is a clip or bracket that looks like a twisted eight that can be used to attach a pair of magazines together. if you poke around Uzitalk I'm sure you can find what I am talking about. Rockwolf66 16:44, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Miami Vice

Thank you for starting to work on the Miami Vice page. It needed a serious re-vamping and it's starting to look good now. Keep up the good work! -Gunman69 03:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I'm mad that I don't have the DVDs, but I think I remember the episodes well enough to write some descriptions. -Gunman69 03:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I can't. My camera doesn't work anymore, which really pisses me off. But watching it on Hulu might help me be able to write some descriptions. -Gunman69 03:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Ruger Mini-14/AC556 pic

Thanks! Also, I created a Philip Michael Thomas page. Some of the guns on the page aren't on the Miami Vice page yet, but I remember them very well. Check it out when you get a chance. -Gunman69 21:24, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

"No Exit"

Good job on the screencaps from the Miami Vice episode "No Exit". I wanted to just say that at the beginning, Castillo uses what I think is a stainless Smith & Wesson Model 29. Can you get a picture of that? Thanks! -Gunman69 17:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I know he doesn't contribute much, but he doesn't mean anything by it. When I was editing all of the Grand Theft Auto pages, he did it too, but he's really just trying to help by given us some tips. Although, I didn't really think what you wrote was "not acceptable by wiki standards". You just forgot quotation marks is all. I don't think it was anything for him to get bent out of shape over. But lets just put it behind us now. -Gunman69 19:17, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and I don't want to sound really picky because I know you have a lot of capping to do, but there was kind-of a better shot of Castillo's gun from the side view just after the shot that you took. It's an important shot because it identifies his gun as a S&W Model 29. If you could try to get that one, that would be super. Again, sorry if I'm being picky but I'm positive some annoying user is going to come across that picture and say "How is that a Model 29? You can only see that top of the gun. You guys are wrong." That second shot will prevent that from happening. Thanks! -Gunman69 19:20, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right about that. And I don't know why he's being like that, as opposed to like thanking you for the great job you are doing. But I think we should just forget about it unless he keeps bringing it up of course. I'll deal with him if it keeps happening. And I'm soooo happy to hear you are doing "Glades" right now! That's one of my favorite episodes. I know there was an episode before that, though: "The Great McCarthy", but I'm assuming you didn't cap them because there weren't many guns in that episode. -Gunman69 20:21, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Miami Vice

I only have Season 2 although some of the discs don't work, so I will do most of season 2. When I get to the episodes I can't cap because the discs are screwed up, I'll let you know and you can pick up where I left off. Sound good? -Gunman69 18:22, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, so I capped "Florence Italy" (which was only 1 picture lol) and that's as far as I can go because the disc is all messed up and it won't play. So when you are done with Season 1, pick up at "French Twist" and finish Season 2. I hope I made it easier for you by capping most of Season 2 (of course I'll still help you with descriptions and such; I want to see this page through to the end). Peace. -Gunman69 21:50, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

That's funny you say that because I've been thinking the same thing. That is a good idea. I know a lot of the TV pages on this site that have a lot of guns (for instance, The Unit) do that, so I think we should do it. In fact, you keep screencapping and I'll do it for you. -Gunman69 21:31, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

There were two pics I was wondering if you could get, both from "Sons and Lovers". The first is during the hostage situation, Switek is standing next to an SRT member with a Mossberg 500. I know we have a lot of those pics, but this one is black, not wooden, so it'd be good to put up. The second is the pic of Crockett firing the MAC-10 at Calderone's men. I know we have a lot of those too, so 1 pic is enough. Thanks! -Gunman69 18:12, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Awesome! First two seasons are done. -Gunman69 19:02, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, could you get like 1 or 2 shots of Crockett's new S&W? Just so I could put some up for now until better ones come along. Thanks! -Gunman69 22:01, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

1 should be enough. Yeah, they changed it after Season 2 for two reasons: 1) The company that made Bren Tens, Dornaus & Dixon, went bankrupt and 2) Smith & Wesson just unveiled their 2nd gen pistols and the producers wanted to keep up with Crockett having a State of the Art pistol. They did this again after Season 4 when S&W unveiled their 3rd gen pistols, so Crockett's gun changed from a 645 to a 4506. -Gunman69 22:13, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

For the State of the Art reason, and the fact that Michael Mann thought that the Bren Ten is better contrast at night (which is why Crockett's gun is always chrome or stainless) they got rid of the SIG. I put the pink one up because I figured that it was the title screen from when the show was in its heyday. Whenever I watch the show and it has the light purple screen, it indicates to me that the episode isn't going to be very good (Season 3 is when the show started going downhill). But it's not a big deal to me, so we'll keep it. -Gunman69 22:29, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I take that back. I haven't seen much of Season 3. I've just heard from people. Some say it was good, some say it was bad. Actually, I wanted to tell you: Since I haven't seen Season 3, could you just write the episode names on the pics? I could write the descriptions just by looking at the picture, but I need the episode names. And I think I remember Seasons 4 and 5 well enough to help you with descriptions, so it should be fine. And since you haven't seen 4 and 5, you're in for quite a disappointment lol. Those seasons were terrible, especially 4 (although there were a few good episodes). -Gunman69 22:55, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, do you want me to put up the picture of Switek's Hi-Power? -Gunman69 01:13, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I have kind of a personal emergency that I need to tend to. I'll be out of town for about a week. Can you finish the descriptions on Miami Vice for me? I really appreciate it. I'll try to get on here as much as I can, but I don't know how often that will be. -Gunman69 05:30, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I know. I feel the same way. But it's a real pain to have to wait for it to load, so let's just see how people like it. -Gunman69 04:45, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Columbian Bullshit

I know. I fixed it. Is just that there is so many pages on this site that refer to Colombians as Columbians. I also find ignorant that people don't know about Colombia. It's not like the Country is a obscure Country that never had relations to the United States. It's not like there was never any Colombian Immigrants come to America.-Oliveira 18:26, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Ha! At least you are self-aware. Anyway, I'm continue my Columbian-Colombian Crusade and fix the ones in the Toy Soldiers page. See you around cowboy.-Oliveira 18:36, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: "Rafa"

I was just thinking about doing so if he kept editing it. But if you think I should do it now to prevent further discord, I will. I'll just tell him that it's currently being revamped and that we'll get new pictures when we get to those episodes and just be patient. -Gunman69 23:09, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I just wrote to him. But we should do that anyway. Either on the main page or the talk page. -Gunman69 23:17, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok cool. I'll do it right now. -Gunman69 23:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Take a Look

Lol. That's all I need to say. :) -Gunman69 21:07, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

S&W 669 in Miami Vice

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Jake Pierson commendeers the thug's Smith & Wesson 669 and holds it on him in "El Viejo".

Isn't this an older-model Smith & Wesson 6906? It clearly has the ambidextrous safety, whereas all of the 669s I've seen only had the safety on the left side of the slide. -MT2008

Oh, wait, ignore what I said...it turns out that the later-model 669s did in fact come with the ambidextrous safety. Plus, the 6906 had not yet been introduced at the time that the episode aired. -MT2008 17:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

BB gun TEC 9

That fake gun appears all the time, so I think I should photograph mine and put up a page for it or add it to the "replica/Copy" section of the TEC-9 page. They're hard to find nowadays, as are LOTS of the old Airsoft, pump action BB guns from the 1970s/1980s/1990s. Remember if you run across any of these toy guns, they're worth a lot of money now.

Planet Terror

I figure it'd be a better idea to do the whole Grindhouse set (including the commercials in between movies) on one page instead of just doing Planet Terror alone. - Gunmaster45

In that case, go for it. ;) - Gunmaster45
