"You sunk my battleship, you asshole!

Makes me laugh every time XD

I'm not exactly a regular viewer, but I've watched this show enough to know that you'll be middle-aged by the time you finished documenting all of the weapons in it. -MT2008 04:35, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Well I already have two seasons and SNAFU done. It will take maybe a month or two, but the other seasons can also be completed. Plus, once I'm done, it will be litterally impossible to make a page with more guns. - Gunmaster45

This page is going to be ridiculously huge once every season is added. Should I divide the page into seasons, like have Seasons 1 & 2 on one page, 3 & 4 on the next, etc?

The King of IMFB

Mail Call is at 98 guns and counting. And I still have 6 more seasons to add eventually! The Unit cowers in fear. A new king rules the site. - Gunmaster45

It's a history channel show about guns. What do you expect? I've seen most of the episodes but I didn't bother screen capping them because it's more like an info show about guns with R. Lee Ermey. You don't need to know what guns they use because the show is all about tell you Excalibur01 16:45, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Personally, I still don't understand why you guys are competing to have the longest gun pages on IMFDB. I just don't get why this excites people so much. -MT2008

Cause we can. It's something to encourage the making of pages. A sense of pride that you made a page, cap all the guns and it looks good in your eyes. And I'm seeing some repeats in the page. We don't need to know in the second season they used the M1 Garand again. Excalibur01 17:11, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

It is the easiest organization. Plus, if we see it again, like how we see Gunny shoot it in different episodes, we see it much better, it helps document it better (Think of it like each season is a new page, I figured this was the easiest way to document such a huge show). And it doesn't tell you every single gun on the show. 70% of the guns I capped from this show I had to know from my own knowledge. I don't mean to offend you Ex, but after so much hard work (and very little sleep), I just want my bragging rights. - Gunmaster45

Being someone without history channel, I like to think I'm showing all the people like me the guns of the show. Once I get the rest of the Seasons on here, I'm going to love doing the Knob Creek episode. I reccomend you all watch the video on youtube, it is incredible. And since Gunny doesn't tell us every gun we see, it will aid the viewer greatly. - Gunmaster45

Look, I don't really think repeating a gun is better orginazation, it's just repetition and counting a repeat on the overal of how many guns is kinda cheating. Yoy claim this page has 98 guns, but I've counted 5 of them repeat at least once, the M16A1 is up there 3 times. How hard is it to compact all the kinds of caps of the same gun under one section instead of 3? You are entitled to brag, and it's a very nice and big page you got here. I just think you over did it with the repeats. It's like if I started to cap repeats of guns from every season of The Unit and start a new section for that repeated gun, I'd be all day on my page doing that.

Frackyou

I can't believe this guy. First he deletes my Talk page, so I warn him that he will be banned. I block Mail Call, so he makes a taunting user name and removes all the info from the page. Orca banned him before I could though. I hate assholes like this. - Gunmaster45

GM45

I'd hate to say this, but you're quite an asshole. On here your talking down Marines because they have their fingers on the triggers. You have to remember, these are the guys who have pleged their lives towards the defending and sustainment of our lives. They are also training to fight in a war that has claimed thousands of lives, three of which were very close friends of mine. Again, i apologise, but please edit the rude remarks off the page. The Winchester

He's usually talking about actors, though, isn't he?

Not on this page The Winchester

I guarantee you I had no intention of offending anyone. I can remove the comment on the M203 section about the guy with his finger on the trigger, but I didn't mean to say it to insult him or any Marines, I guess I was just noting a recruit slip up (not a big deal, it can go). I don't think it merits me being considered an asshole, but I'll change it for the sake of the guys with theirs lives on the line every day. Let me know if there are any other assholish comments I should remove ;) - Gunmaster45
