Size of screenshots
Your recent screenshots are great but they are too big. Sorry but 700+ KB files are frowned upon at IMFDB. Please shrink them down or save them in a lower resolution setting. You'll see that a slightly lower resolution setting won't make much of a visual difference and save a ton of space. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 09:56, 5 April 2011 (CDT)
Franken gun
Thanks for the heads up. Your attribution and notation that this is a PS job goes a long way towards smoothing over any negative reaction. Good job on the attribution. You did things the correct way. It will just motivate me to get a pic of a real gun in that configuration. But as a temporary placeholder it's fine. I historically have not liked PS chop jobs because some sharp eyed viewer will always pick up that the image is a 'repurposed photograph'. Since historically I don't want the general public to think that IMFDB 'creates' our guns from our photoshop/CS skills (other than image clean up and color correction), (IMFDB has the largest collection of ORIGINAL images of real guns on the net that is shot for us which is cool) I always press our members to resist the temptation of the Frankengun PS job. But you did things the right way from the get go. No complaints here :) MoviePropMaster2008 19:18, 20 April 2011 (CDT)

Oh, ok
I'm not so great for ID'ing pistols without looking through references, I was going to check after I woke up. Glad you found it. I ID'd your WW2 towed gun on the talk page for Jericho: it's a 7.5cm PaK 40, a German anti-tank gun. Evil Tim 22:15, 5 July 2011 (CDT)
I think you might as well add it if you can ID it; it's perhaps pushing things a tiny bit, but it's actually probably the most accurately reproduced weapon in the game. As for Jericho, I've heard of it but never played; heard it's a middle-of-the-road title that's good in some ways and bad in others (linear level design, stupid buddy AI, etc).

Agreed. One being former part of Soviet Union or satellite state means one is gonna have quite old equipment (unless one is Russia). We too have Makarovs and as our teaching officer waaaaay back at school once said, the only thing one can't miss with it is one's head. Shot it and it's indeed a bad pistol.

A question
Hi, Bozito. I'm a movie buff, but I'm also an avid gamer. From your user page I can see that you are too. You created the page for Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which I assume you have played by now, or at least know what the game is about. I know that the game is an action/stealth-rpg, but what I need to know is how much of it is action, and how much of it is role playing. I've been thinking of buying this game since it looks intriguing, but me and role-playing games don't go together, lol. I'm fine with RPG elements in games, like in Dead Island, but I have always had a strong dislike for such games as Final Fantasy, etc. --Warejaws 17:38, 10 October 2011 (CDT)

I think you should leave the notes for the expansions on the respective gun pages (ie, weapons only in Island Thunder should appear under that name); just point them to the merged Ghost Recon article.

About OTs-14 "Groza"
Hi. Wanted to note you about the modular nature of OTs-14 "Groza". At the bottom of this article: [1] is a great illustration of it. Thus if the weapon in game is customizable (like, say, Ghost Recon Online) then it's better not to list the fourth number. But if you want to specify the 7.62 variant, that would be OTs-14-1 (or OTs-14-1A, not sure about the 'A' letter). --Masterius 13:35, 2 November 2011 (CDT)
You are welcome :)
If you are interested in detailed pictures of Russian guns, I would recommend you Vitaly Kuzmin's Blog. The man's hobby is visiting different Russian Military Expos and taking photos there. So just Google 'Kuzmin *Insert Russian weapon's name here*' and chances are, you'll find what you want :)
Found the pictures of 7.62 Grozas: here --Masterius 05:59, 3 November 2011 (CDT)
One more thing about OTs-14. Although scope is definitely a popular choice for 03 variant, it is not mandatory. OTs-14 has mounting point on the carrying handle, thus every variant can have one: at the bottom of this page 01 variant with scope can be seen (there is also misplaced OTs-14-1A-01 one line above) and at the bottom of this page 03 variant without scope can be seen (they also seem to have additional attachment on the sound suppressor; sound suppressor without attachments is one line above). --Masterius 01:39, 18 November 2011 (CST)

Arkham City is fantastic. Think of it as like the Super Mario World to the original's Mario 3: bigger world, more things to do, more ways to do it.

AC-130
If you wait long enough it flies down close to you. The AC-130 is actually tiny (it's about the size of a car) and passes very close to the mountain; if the weapons are visible, you'll see them then. But you should cover them, they're certainly seen firing in the game (eg the lines of tracers on the rebel convoy). Evil Tim 07:37, 15 November 2011 (CST)

They are definitely approved. Bunni LOVED the idea (you can click on the "Manufactures" tab on the left to see more of them btw). Just make sure to add [[Category:Manufacturer]] to the bottom of the page. Also, be sure to follow the format of the other pages. But yea, that would be fantastic! The one other thing is that I'm using this as an excuse to fix up gun pages. So like when I did the Barrett page, I also redid all the gun pages for their firearms. Made sure they had specs and that they are in the table format instead of the old list, etc. You don't have to do this, but it sure would be helpful! :-) --Zackmann08 10:37, 19 January 2012 (CST)
RE:Barrett M107
No problem. Just curious, where did you find a date for the M107 on the Barrett website? I couldn't find anything about the M107 as they don't sell it any more. As for making a USMC page, I don't really think it is warranted, mainly because I don't think they have really "made" any weapons. All they have done is fit various other weapons with existing after market accessories. For example, the first M40s were just off the shelf varmint Remington 700s. Then the M40A1 just added a Macmillan synthetic stock and few other pits and pieces. --commando552 16:44, 19 January 2012 (CST)
Ah, ok. That is the thing I mentioned in the discussion, it is true that it was on the list, but it wasn't really invented in 2005. I think the reason it was listed then is that this is the point when the M107 officially stopped being developmental and was deemed fully operational. --commando552 17:31, 19 January 2012 (CST)
Not sure, but I think it would have already been going by XM107, as even before a competition had taken place the project was for the selection of the M107 rifle. --commando552 18:33, 20 January 2012 (CST)

Metro 2033 has a Russian publisher too though: Akella.
As for KBP, here's the history page (originally called Small Arms Design Bureau of the Tula Arms Plant, then TsKB-14 and, finally, KBP Instrument Design Bureau) . TT pistol is the first one that was designed at the bureau, then several machine guns, then post-WW2 armament and, finally, the modern one. As can be seen, the bureau was established to boost production at the Tula Arms Plant (TOZ).
Of weapons not already mentioned on the above history page: OTs-03 (SVU) needs OTs-03AS (SVU-AS) variant - selective-fire with bipods.
First off, thank you for the way that you told me about this. I REALLY appreciate you not just coming in and changing everything while I was working on it. Super cool of you. Second, thank you so much for correcting my errors! I will fix this stuff asap. I am a little hesitant to name the page "Česká zbrojovka" because no one is going to search using that name. The company is know (at least in the US) as CZ. I will definately mention that the full name of the company is Česká zbrojovka. What I might do is rename the page "CZ (Česká zbrojovka)". That way both bases are covered. Thoughts?? --Zackmann08 10:26, 25 January 2012 (CST)
You bring up a good point. For the moment, I am going to leave it as is. I posted a message in the general discussion board and I will see what other users and admins have to say. Thanks again. --Zackmann08 10:48, 25 January 2012 (CST)

AK-200
Have made a phoshopped 7.62 version of the AK-200 from an AK-103 and added it to the AK-12 and GRFS pages. I didn't realise until I made it that the sight block was so different so tried to bodge it to look more like the new one. Isn't perfect but is better than nothing. To be honest I'm not even sure that this is the AK-200, it was the gun that lots of polliticians and VIPs posed with and it was the gun that was reported as the AK-200, but I remember seeing videos of the people who actually designed it talking about it and the gun there was pretty different, featuring a monolithic looking top rail with rail mounted BUIS and no fixed iron sights along with a new flash hider and folding stock. Regardless, the version I made is more likely the one this is based on, and will probably never turn up in anything again now that the AK-12 has come along so doesn't really matter. --commando552 06:55, 31 January 2012 (CST)
This is kind of a guess, as only images I can find of it show it disassembled (they are on the AI AW talk page). The stock is also wrong I think, as the only pictures I could find of the AWC don't have an adjustable cheek riser, but had to work with what I had.
Sure, go for it. In particular though, I believe the AWC is slightly incorrect as I believe the profile of the short barrel is different to the AW (less tapered) but I couldn't find any good reference material. --commando552 08:20, 3 February 2012 (CST)
You can get after-market stocks for the AW rifles that resemble this such as the Viperskins stock. Am fairly sure that this game pre-dates this though, but this may be based on a previous design. There is also a rifle from Roedale Precision that looks like this. However, the Rogue spear gun and the Sum of all fears gun are both actually AWS's as they don't have a folding stock. Also, the more that I think about it the more I think the silencer on the AWC should slide down over the barrel rather than attaching onto the end of it, as shown in the gun below:
I don't really know at this point, but I suppose there should be an AWS section, as the two rifles where you can see the stock are definitely AWS's (there is a pic of an AWS on the discussion page). I'm not really sure now if the AWC should have a section, as am not sure it has actually appeared in anything at this point. For the Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield AWC, not only does it have the wrong stock for a standard AI rifle, but it also has a rounded receiver rather than squared off AI AW one. I might have to dig this game out and reinstall it to try and get a better image of a 3rd person rifle to be sure. For now though, I would probably go with assuming that all of the rifles currently listed are AWSs rather than AWCs, as can only assume that the Rainbow 6 developers would use the earlier game as reference material. --commando552 11:36, 3 February 2012 (CST)
FMG-9
Are you sure that this is now called the FPG? As far as I know FPG is just what the airsoft version is being sold as. --commando552 15:15, 15 February 2012 (CST)
The reason I'm confused is that as far as I know the FMG-9/FPG isn't in production so I don't understand how it can have a production variant. The only version that I know of that is actually being made is the airsoft version, which is made by Magpul PTS and called the FPG. As far as I can tell, the only source that says anything about the FMG-9 actually going into production as the FPG is the description on that youtube video, which makes me think it is probably someone making a mistake. --commando552 16:37, 15 February 2012 (CST)
The video description says "Production version is called FPG" which would imply that they are talking about something that is currently being produced. It just seems odd to me that the only mention of the term FPG is on that youtube video description. I also found essentially the same thing here in the brochure for Magpul PTS, the airsoft division, so imagine this is where the information for that video description came from. I seem to remember Magpul stating that they had no intention of actually going anywhere with the FMG-9 concept, it was purely a demonstration piece to show what their design team was capable of doing. I suppose that if they ever were to produce it the FPG name makes more sense, but I have seen no news of it actually being intended for production, and with the massive cult like following the Magpul seems to have (and this gun in particular) I think this would have been pretty big news. I think part of the reason it is never likely to be produced is the fact that the market for it will be tiny. In terms of civillian sales, I think it would only be available in certain states to people with a concealed carry permit due to the fact that it disguises itself as something other than a weapon, and it is also legally and short barrelled rifles meaning another hoop you would have to jump through before being able to get one. If it ever does get produced as the FPG, then fair enough, but until then it seems odd saying that the production variant is called something else when the gun isn't even being produced. On a side note, while looking into this I found that it is actually possible to convert the airsoft version into a live fire version with a bit of work. --commando552 17:44, 15 February 2012 (CST)
