Thanks for the comment
I worked pretty hard to get The Devil's Rejects page in order. When I first went to the page all that was there was a list of firearms and brief descriptions. I added all those photos, but I didnt screencap any of them myself. Most are studio released screenshots or promo pics. I am going to try and screencap some pics myself from a verison of the movie I downloaded(not the best quality). But thanks for first comment I ever got on the site.--Mauser 17:41, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Re: America's Army
Actually, if you look at the magazine curve of the AK-103/GP-30 compared to the magazines of the AKS-74U below it on the table, you'll see that the magazine loaded in the top AK is more curved than the AKS-74U's mags. As for the sniper rifle, the stock and handguard design match those of the FPK/PSL, which are noticably different than those of the Dragunov. Below are images of both rifles to show the differences:

Great work on Dawn of the Dead(1978)
Great work. Looks good.
Smith & wesson 916A
Do you want a gun photograph of a S&W 916A? I have one in the warehouse, but it will take a few weeks to get to it MoviePropMaster2008 02:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Goldeneye: 1911 type pistol
I think this is an MAS/MAC Model 1950, a French-made pistol that used to be their service sidearm (before they switched to a license-made copy of the Beretta 92F): http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg88-e.htm -MT2008 02:06, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- I second this-S&Wshooter 02:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- We can use the one on World Guns, for now. Eventually, I'm sure MPM or Steve can get us a good picture of one, though I think they have enough on their plate at the moment... -MT2008 02:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Incomplete Category
Hey AdAstra2009, thanks for creating the incomplete category. It's now much easier to see which pages need to finished or revamped without them being all over the place.--Alienqueen11 03:56, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Leon (The Professional)
Okay, will do. I'll add his grenades too, since they play more into the extended cut. I own the special deluxe edition. - Gunmaster45
- Yeah, the Deluxe was $14.99 plus tax at Best Buy, I was actually lucky because they only had one copy of it. Right now I'll be uploading Running Scared for Predator20 and simultaneously helping him do Apocalypse Now. - Gunmaster45
- Yeah, it's pretty shocking. Now Predator20 has finally taken up the task, which is good. - Gunmaster45

- Would you mind if I replaced some of your screencaps with a single side-by-side? It saves space, like the three shots of Willy Blood's AP9 showing off continuity error. Three side-by-side shots as one image would still convey this in a more orderly fashion and reduce screencap repetion. If you'd rather I didn't, that's fine, but I'm just asking. - Gunmaster45

hi im new here and i need help figuring out how to make a new page correctly your help would really be appreciated - Shooter
X2
Since you're working on X2 now, I figured you might like these:
- I got 'em from the web site of Def Con 5. They also have behind-the-scenes pictures from X3. -MT2008
Re: RE X2 Frag Grenade
That's true, but in this case the body of the grenade is too thin to be the grenade you posted the link to, so the M84 would be the better comparison. Orca1 9904 04:16, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Fictional Weapons
Most agree fictional weapons can be added for trivial purposes and to confirm the weapon in question is fictional and not a prop. This does NOT mean games like Halo can be added, because they are computer generated designs with little to no real world influence. So movie fictional weapons can stay, but NOT video game or anime ones. That's my vote. - Gunmaster45
- Well the partical cannon does have some obvious basis on the M60 machine gun. But really, if he was willing to the put the effort into it, it's his right as the page's biggest contributor to keep them for trivial purposes. You yourself don't have to do so, but since he made the page it is his little right. Like you add miscelaneous stuff, every contributor can add their own little touch to a page. - Gunmaster45
Operation Dumbo Drop
I was going to screencap this movie (gotta love the fact that they only released a lame 4:3 aspect ratio FULL FRAME version of this movie), but I must say I am impressed by your screencaps. They are clearer and sharper than the screencaps I was able to get from the DVD. I am glad you screencapped the film. MoviePropMaster2008 06:41, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Day of the Dead Pics
Good job changing the low quality photos on Day of the dead they where pretty bad.
Night of the Living Dead
Its sweet now that the whole dead series (Not counting the upcoming one) are screencap. It was kinda wierd doing night because the film itself is very dark and grainy but the pics came out alright. I just finished screencaping The Thing, and next Im going to do They Live.
They Live
Yeah They Live kicks ass, but the page it has on here right now sucks. Its gonna take a little while but Ill let you know when Im done with it. --Mauser 04:12, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Re:
Actually, the Beretta seen on the Lethal Weapon 4 is definitely not the one used in the first Lethal Weapon. That's just a mistake that MoviePropMaster made when he uploaded the picture because he got confused what Mike Papac told him. The Beretta used in the first Lethal Weapon is actually, by most sources, the one that was also used in Die Hard (and that one is distinctive because of the fact that it has a custom extended slide release, though this was apparently added after Lethal Weapon for Bruce Willis' benefit, since he's a lefty).
Anyway, we're not 100% sure the Beretta on the Lethal Weapon 4 page was actually in that movie, but there's good reason to suspect it was. Remember that all of these movies had a common denominator - they were supplied by the same armory (Stembridge & Cinema Weaponry), and the armorer, Mike Papac, worked on all of these films. That makes it fairly easy to be sure that he would use the same gun repeatedly. -MT2008 03:18, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- That's just a mistake that MoviePropMaster made when he uploaded the picture because he got confused what Mike Papac told him.
- Ahem, that's what MT2008 wrote. That's not true. I did not make a mistake. I was not confused. I told him exactly what the gun's owner, Mike Papac told me. In fact I was confused when I first heard it from Mike, but I usually don't question information from the gun's owner. So I just passed the info along. But I want to clear this up. Any confusion is from the source, not from me. :) I hate it when I get blamed for something I didn't do. ;) best regards MoviePropMaster2008 23:33, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
(here is a note I've been posting around IMFDB)
I recently had the unpleasant experience of having some of the performers being insulted in some of our movie pages see what some of the IMFDB members write. there are some pretty condescending remarks regarding horrible grips, gun stance, bad gun discipline and blinking while shooting. I'm trying to promote the website and it's embarrassing to see actors getting insulted for pretty trivial reasons. What are your thoughts regarding this?
See below:
I'm asking all members to stop with the sarcastic comments in the screencap descriptions
Too many members feel it's funny to be extremely sarcastic about actor's shooting stance, their blinking, their pistol grips. Only if it's so over the top as for the average person to notice, then don't keep on harping on it. Most actors are given only a bare amount of time to train, if at all. Many times the editor picks the worst take for pistol grip, but best take for other reasons like acting. Also much of the blame falls on the director. Some directors don't want to be bothered trying to train the actors and don't allow us armorers to even give them more training than the minimum safety training. People in the industry check out this website, and some think we're a bunch of obnoxious kids. I am not happy when people in 'the biz' look at the site and scoff at the snarky remarks. Some of them are the actual actors being insulted. We can always put in criticism, but IMFDB members going forward going to criticize a film, should try to do so in a scholarly manner or not at all. Thanks for your cooperation MoviePropMaster2008 05:51, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
They Live Completed
I am finally finished They Live. It turns out that there was a lot more firearms in that movie than I remembered lol. But you can check it out now if you want. --Mauser 09:00, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Robert Hays
If you're gonna create a Robert Hays page, you had better screencap Fifty/Fifty!!!! He fires a ton of weapons in that film! :) MoviePropMaster2008 23:25, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
You won't believe this
Score! I've been holding off uploading these because I'm still waiting on an image for the Heartbreak Ridge' page (their weapons are set up slightly differently) so I hope people will wait to update that page until I can get a good image for that page.
Say Hello to My Little Friend!!!
Scarface fans will crap in their pants. Got the ACTUAL screen used LITTLE FRIEND. Now I used black gaffers tape and taped two 30 round magazines together as best I could (to try to match the screenshots). Do you think that was smart? or should I just present it with a plain magazine? Anyway, I did that because I wanted people to see it as it was most seen in the movie (Wow that launcher is beat up, it's been 25 years after all since the movie was filmed!!!!) It is also the old launchers that were used before the Cobray 37mm launchers became prevalent.
Screen used Zabala Shotgun
This IS the gun used by 'The Skull' Gino Silva to blast Tony Montana in the movie. I also included a closeup shot of the top of the gun to show the markings.
RUN! GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!!
Recognize this lovely? I've been waiting to get pics for the Predator page for a while. So many weapons have either been sold off or taken apart and reconfigured for other movies.
IMFDB is the only place in the WORLD, now that has these images. How cool is that? :) I got some screen used muskets from Last of the Mohicans (from private collections), which is interesting since I usually don't get many pre 1848 weapons. MoviePropMaster2008 03:32, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
BTW you do great work
You understand the rules and the mission statement of this site. :) It's good to see members who get it. So are the anonymous users getting under your skin yet? ;) LOL. It's not just about dumping every conceivable screencap on a page or endless mindless snarky comments. Just wanted to drop a line to compliment your good work at making the site as professional as possible. :) MoviePropMaster2008 22:28, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
District 9
Nice job on the page! I was actually planning on doing this movie myself (just saw it last night), but you did a great job, so I think it's all good.
One thing - the guns that you labeled as Norinco Type 84s have milled receivers - which the factory Type 84 didn't have. They look to me like Vektor R4/R5 rifles that have been modified to look more like older-model AKs (the receivers appear very Vektor-like). -MT2008 15:43, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Creating Actor Pages
If you're going to make actor pages, please use the new table format. You can use the Anthony Mackie page as an example. --Ben41 04:10, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Hooah!
Just took a look at your userpage and saw that you're in the Army. How long have you been in for? Also, congrats on the Expert marksmanship badge. Do you still play America's Army now that you're doing the real thing? Orca1 9904 02:20, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Whoa! Why are you changing the section headers?
The IMFDB protocol is that you default to the 2nd highest level of "=" Single "=" is a MAJOR Section header and is not often used, but the default is "==" when there is no other subsection that can be added. You don't default to the LOWEST section header "===". All the pages are supposed to default to "==" and only add "===" when a subsection is added. You just changed an entire page the wrong way. Now there are a lot of pages that are done like that but I've been changing them back to the original format as done by Bunni back when the site was first created. Usually until we come up with a vote between Mods, Bunni's original formatting is the standard until formally declared to be otherwise :) Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 04:54, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Specifications
I see, ok you can have those deleted, but I don't see how it looks so confusing.--SB2296 10:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Glad someone finally sees things my way
I saw you put the nuke tags up on some of the documentary pages. I've considered those articles an eyesore on this site for quite some time, and I'm glad to see someone finally agrees with me. Now that the termination of these pages has been greenlighted, I'm planning to initiate a mass purge on these pages within the next 24 hours. Orca1 9904 21:22, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
