Reminder, this may not be eligible

It must have more than one real firearm in it

The page must have enough firearms to merit inclusion into the database, thus the page must have more than ONE real firearm in it to qualify. There are some important exceptions to this rule:

1) the firearm is identifiable, well seen and important to the story. A film where 'some character' wields an 'unknown revolver' means nothing.

2) it has enough screen time for any viewer to wonder what make or model it is.

3) it must drive the plot forward and not be an 'incidental' prop (like something hanging on the wall in the background). (a) If it is in the background, it must be 'interesting enough' to merit someone asking the question 'what is that?' Thus if it has enough screen time and it is identifiable, it qualifies. If it is a random 'set dressing' or a 'shape' held by a extra, then it does not qualify.

4) the single firearm rule only applies if the firearm is real. If it is an obvious toy or airsoft gun, then it does not qualify. Having a lone character wave around an 'orange plug' airsoft toy does not merit a page. If the film is filled with various replica or high quality airsoft weapons than can fool the casual viewer, then it qualifies, if only to shine light upon the fact that the guns are fakes.

Remember that there must be a preponderance of replica guns to merit a page with no live firearms. MoviePropMaster2008 22:54, 1 May 2012 (CDT)

There are at least 5 other models in episode 2. Unfortunately I have not had time to finish screencapping it. Be patient.--PistolJunkie 10:45, 2 May 2012 (CDT)

MGC 1911 / Defender

Two things:

1) The MGC 1911 and the Colt Government with the laser sight are the same replica gun, you can match the serial number from two pics. The number is 12581C70, and it's fitted with a Commander-style hammer and a shaved beavertail when it has the laser sight mounted on it.

A closeup of Katagiri's M1911A1. Note the serial number 12581C70. (Ep.01)

The same gun based on the serial number with a different hammer and grip safety with a shaved bevertail. (ep.05)
2) Under the 1903 section, there are pictures of a pistol that is clearly either a blank-adapted or blank-firing replica of a Colt Defender. It's a defender based on the 1911-style layout, controls, and Defender-length barrel and frame.

The gun currently listed as a 1903. There are multiple shots of this gun showing the significantly larger bore, but this shot most clearly shows the shape, length, sights, and external ring hammer, differentiating it from the 1903. (Ep.11).
