Nice job with this page, it was always one of IMFDB's worst pages for such a big show. If you don't mind, I can help out with the layout of the page and removing italics if I know that the gun was used.----JazzBlackBelt-- 18:01, 4 December 2011 (CST)
For sure! Yea I finally decided to join and revamp the page. Once I'm done here I'm gna try and fix up Top Shot. --Zackmann08 18:05, 4 December 2011 (CST)
I just found them via google. I found them while searching for extra images while the griffin was still unidentified, but forgot about them till now. Have a couple more promo images of guns that don't have entries yet, such as a Barrett M82 and a Colt Dragoon, will up them later. --commando552 13:07, 9 December 2011 (CST)
I believe the unknown Barrett is what Barrett currently markets as the M82A1. This is available in .50 BMG and .416 Barrett, and I believe the most visible difference between the two is the flash hider (.50 is an arrowhead shaped one whereas the .416 is cylindrical with 3 holes on each side). The .416 seems to be the one used on the show judging by the caption along with the flash hider.
Problem is though, that this site refers to this variant as the M107 (full length top rail and grip on bottom of butt are main differences from M82A1). This would be the correct name for the variant, but Barrett seems to sell it as the M82A1 as it is the more recognised name. I would call it an M82A1 as that is what Barrett currently sells it as, but I need to ask a question on the M82 page to clarify how we name these guns. --commando552 20:03, 11 December 2011 (CST)
Reality shows
Just remember that Mythbusters and TopShot were grandfathered in right before the BAN on Reality TV/Documentaries/Hosted Competition or historical shows. MoviePropMaster2008 02:45, 6 December 2011 (CST)
You're cool with updating and finished those pages. I was just pointing this out to warn new members not to create any new ones. This is the warning on the page for 'category: Documentary'. It reads: "Warning: Documentaries are NOT automatically approved for inclusion into IMFDB. Most of the remaining documentaries have been 'grandfathered in', i.e. they were created before IMFDB ruled against including documentaries. Even those which are grandfathered in must be of exceptional quality and completeness to stay. The ones given a waiver have a limited amount of time to improve, or they are removed. As of now, there is a blanket moratorium on all 'new' documentary pages. If you have a page you wish to create, please run it by the Mods first to see if it warrants a waiver from the ban. " Thanks. We need to probably put another warning on the rules. Thanks for the update. MoviePropMaster2008 20:53, 6 December 2011 (CST)
re:table or listing
The list method was the old way. It's not bad when there is only a few instances a gun is used. The table makes it nice for large use guns. Most prefer to use the table nowadays. --Predator20 10:46, 8 December 2011 (CST)
re:categories
It's really personal preference. I wouldn't start categorizing unless 15 or more guns are used. Do you plan on doing any movie pages? Most of the time users usually list the hero guns first, then the bad guys and then the henchman.--Predator20 11:15, 12 December 2011 (CST)
As a note, alphabetical order is also acceptable; as long as there's some kind of order to things that's reasonably intuitive. Evil Tim 11:21, 12 December 2011 (CST)
re:gun pages
Take a look at the 1911 or Beretta page (or any of the high traffic ones). What you have currently on the S&W 460 page seems fine. --Predator20 15:57, 12 December 2011 (CST)
