Categorize your images, please
When you upload images, please put the [[Category: Screenshot]] (or simply {{SS}} code). I did it with Timecrisis4 M26grenade.jpg image, so you can see how it was done. Greg-Z (talk) 02:55, 3 March 2014 (EST)
No problems. I recommend you to look on IMFDB Style Guide page, there is a lot of good advices about creating and editing pages. Greg-Z (talk) 03:28, 3 March 2014 (EST)
And if you're going to create a page, please be ready to complete it. First day incomplete pages look bad. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:03, 3 March 2014 (EST)

Some light gun games you may want to make pages for
Would it be at all possible for you to make pages for light gun games like Konami's Silent Hill: The Arcade or the Silent Scope series? Also, if you have access to the arcade cabinets for these games, could you also upload images of the light guns they use (assuming they actually resemble real guns)? I would argue that the light guns themselves are a part of the game since you aim with their iron sights to make shots on the screen.
By the way, you might not know this, but an arcade cabinet for Silent Scope 2: Dark Silhouetteactually appeared in a TV show by James Cameron. Given the fact that you see the camera focus in on the "KONAMI" logo on one of the arcade cabinet's light gun controllers, it makes me wonder whether Konami paid money to have one of its games on the show or whether someone involved in the making of that episode was a Konami fan. --Mazryonh (talk) 01:18, 26 July 2014 (EDT)
It is a GOOD idea! I have already Identified firearms that appeared in two game series. but a clear image capture does not exist almost any game.
Silent Hill might be able to pickup the image from the official site. Silent Scope Official site is already closed. Procurement of the image is very difficult.
Personally, I want to create a page of The House of the Dead series, This game that is really really really like. Its very easy fabrication, image is also well aligned. --Seganamcofan (talk) 02:25, 26 July 2014 (EDT)
I hear that Silent Hill: The Arcade was recently ported to the PC, which would be one way to get screenshots. However, even just getting official screenshots and identifying the depicted guns would be relatively easy (again, see if you can take a photo of the actual arcade cabinet's light gun controllers). The Silent Scope series was also released for the PS2 and if you have a capture card you could get screenshots from the PS2 port (though sadly older Light Gun controllers don't work very well with modern televisions that aren't CRTs). Any reason you prefer Sega's and Namco's light gun games over Konami's? And are you going to make a page for the original House of the Dead arcade game? I don't remember seeing actual guns depicted ingame with that title.
I've seen some odd things come out onto the Light Gun game scene. Horror games aren't very scary if you can shoot down all the monsters, as Silent Hill: The Arcade showed (its "parent" series has much less gunplay). Then there's Elevator Action: Death Parade--an actual arcade sequel based on "Elevator Action" for the Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System. Given Konami's experience with Light Gun games I'm surprised they haven't put one out for their Metal Gear Solid series yet.
As some personal advice, keep working on your English. Knowing enough English to work overseas or for foreign companies in Japan is one way to get out of the Japanese "Lost Decade" (失われた10年) that was supposed to end in 2000 but clearly isn't over yet! --Mazryonh (talk) 17:16, 26 July 2014 (EDT)
Where are you going to get that many airsoft guns?
I've heard of Tokyo Marui as one of the largest Japanese Airsoft companies, but what companies are you looking to get all these favourites from? And how much do you think they will cost in total? --Mazryonh (talk) 22:14, 30 January 2015 (EST)
