Elfen Lied edit

Two things; 1.) please try to use proper grammar and punctuation, and 2.) make sure any additional images you add to pages are placed under the correct listing. The MP5 in that screencap does not have an M203 attachment, ergo it does not belong under the "with M203 attachment" listing. Also, try to avoid spoilers, such as mentioning that Kamuzawa isn't human.--PistolJunkie (talk) 20:07, 14 December 2012 (EST)

Okay, look; the whole video game tidbit is some fun trivia, but it's not part of the show and its not a piece of promo media like a trailer. As such, it needs to go on it's own page. Also, you put the MAC-10 in the "Rifles" listing. Do you see anything wrong with that?--PistolJunkie (talk) 14:26, 3 January 2013 (EST)

I'm sorry, if doing something wrong. I don't understand you. You say, that I should create a new article to this game I shall create this page. But, why I cant put information of this game to the section at the main article?--Pyramid Silent (talk) 03:22, 5 January 2013 (EST)

Because the game and the show are not the same thing by any means. And on top of that, you listed a submachine gun as a rifle. Also, do you have anay further information about this game? Because judging from the screencap and the graphics I'm suspecting that it's not even an official licensed game, and fanmade games are not allowed on IMFDB.--PistolJunkie (talk) 17:35, 6 January 2013 (EST)

It's not a fanmade game. I have official site of the company, who created this game, but I can't read japanese. If it necessary, I shall create article for this game, but in this game Mac-10 is the only firearm, that can be identified.--Pyramid Silent (talk) 06:49, 7 January 2013 (EST)

Anaconda

In the future, please find higher quality sources for your screenshots (DVD or Blu-ray) please. --Ben41 (talk) 18:11, 9 January 2013 (EST)

I'm sorry, but I didn't found this film in a good quality.--Pyramid Silent (talk) 18:30, 9 January 2013 (EST)

The Marsh

We're working on identifying the revolver now. Meanwhile, we have an entire gallery of Derringers, so get cracking. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:07, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

Aside from working a bit harder to actually identify the guns, two things: 1) Please use unique file names, like "TheMarsh_revolver_01.jpg" or something like that, and 2) Please try not to give away any plot points in your descriptions. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:39, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

Ok, and thank you very much for identifying revolver. I can't identify the submachine gun, but I know that a very rare model of this type of arms equipped the optical sight. Pyramid Silent (talk) 16:45, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

Night of the Dead

Please take s moment to crop and reupload "Night of the Dead gun 2.jpg." Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:11, 22 July 2013 (EDT)

OK--Pyramid Silent (talk) 13:10, 23 July 2013 (EDT)

Making Pages

I understand that you may have problems with English, but please try your best to check your spelling and grammar for the pages that you create. It would be best to not write film descriptions at the top as they are very confusing to read. You also do not need to list how many firearms were used in the movie. The page for The Hitchhiker has been changed for your future reference. --Ben41 (talk) 14:12, 24 July 2013 (EDT)

Sorry for my English, I'm from Russia. I can't find mistake in my pages, because my English is very bad T_T. I have some question about The Hitchhiker film. You wrote that firearms in this film are non gun. Are you shure? I saw a fire when the shooter fires his gun. If this guns were a replicas it couldn't be load an ammo even blank. I can't understand: are the gunshot fire was made by computer or it was a reali gunshot.--Pyramid Silent (talk) 16:09, 24 July 2013 (EDT)

A Non Gun is a replica that emits a flashpaper spark that resembles a muzzle flash, and is less dangerous than firing a real blank. It may be hard to read with an online translator, but I have corrected the English grammar on The Hitchhiker page. Please use this if you make future pages. --Ben41 (talk) 17:22, 24 July 2013 (EDT)

The Hitcher II

Sorry, but your source for the film appears to be of very bad quality so identification is very difficult. The ejection port for the Mossberg is more like a rectangle and the Remington 870 is rounded at the ends. Take a look at the pictures on the 12 Gauge Pump Shotgun page for more comparison. Those screenshots of the revolvers are very similar to the S&W Model 10. --Ben41 (talk) 04:45, 26 July 2013 (EDT)

The screenshots you reuploaded for this film are much better. Thank you. --Ben41 (talk) 23:32, 29 December 2013 (EST)

Medicopter 117 - Jedes Leben zählt

Is Medicopter 117 - Jedes Leben zählt - film a movie version of the series? Do you plan on doing pages for the series as well?

Please do not make a template unless you plan on doing this.

Also, you need to cut off the black bars on the left and right of your screen shots. --Ben41 (talk) 04:18, 7 August 2013 (EDT)

This is a film, which was made as prequel to the first season of this serial (a pilot film). I have the first, second and third seasons and this film. This series contain one film and seven seasons, but another four seasons weren't translated to russian and I can't find it. But, I want creates articles to the film and three seasons, so I created this template. Pyramid Silent (talk) 05:48, 7 August 2013 (EDT)

Please pay attention to your words. You are leaving out letters that are making it very frustrating to correct. Also, a few more things to remember:

1. Descriptions are written above the image of the gun.

2. Bombs and Explosives are not to be included on the page as these are generally fake. Grenades are okay to put on the page.

3. Images that are not widescreen should be at 500px, not 600px.

I have corrected the pages for your future reference. Please also refer to the IMFDB Screencapping Guide and the IMFDB Style Guide. If you are able to use it, I would recommend downloading and trying VLC player for playback and screen capture. --Ben41 (talk) 18:31, 7 August 2013 (EDT)

I'm sorry, but I don't understand a few things.

1) You wrote, that grenades are may be useful on the articles. At the third season are exist a lot of mines. If i shall add it to the my future article, I shall do something wrong? 2) You wrote, that my images should be at 500px, not high. I don't understand, I should scaling my images or not? And may I don't scaling image with Paint, but use |thumb|none|500px|]] not high? Also, for I used GomPlayer or Windows Media Player for watching films, and button Print Screen for capturing image. I'm sorry, but I can't download VLC player, because I have a very lowspeed internet T_T Pyramid Silent (talk) 05:06, 9 August 2013 (EDT)

VLC and FastStone Image Viewer would improve the quality of your screencaps. As we pointed out in the screencapping guide, both are free and have portable versions available. Combined, they're only 27 MBs to download, so even if you were on a 56K modem, it should only take a bit more than an hour. --Funkychinaman (talk) 10:37, 9 August 2013 (EDT)

I understand, that this programs can help me to improve the quality of the screenshots, but my all my DVD copys are unlicensed and it is a very bad quality, so this programs are useless. Pyramid Silent (talk) 05:59, 10 August 2013 (EDT)

Please do not use unlicensed DVD's for your screenshots because as you mentioned they are usually of bad quality. --Ben41 (talk) 14:16, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

Colleague Pyramid Silent, If you need help with screencapping in Windows Media Player, I can help. I allways use this programm and have good results. If you wish you can email me on gereint at gmail.com, so we'll discuss this problem in Russian. Greg-Z (talk) 15:23, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

Thank you very much! When I shall come to the Moscow (now I stay at the village) I shall use a high speed internet. At those time I can email you, and download useful program. Pyramid Silent (talk) 07:07, 22 August 2013 (EDT)

Piranha

You're not using a camrip, are you? --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:52, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

Movie Sources

The sources you are using for your screenshots do not appear to be High Definition or High Quality DVD's. Please do not use any more low quality sources for your screenshots. --Ben41 (talk) 11:38, 23 August 2013 (EDT)

Sorry me for using bad quality images. When I shall come to Moscow (at the present time, I stay in the village), I shall use high speed internet. At those time, I shall find a better sourses and reupload some bad quality images to better quality. Pyramid Silent (talk) 07:46, 24 August 2013 (EDT)

The Skeleton Key

I've changed the movie page for The Skeleton Key with improved screenshots. These were taken from the American DVD using VLC player. Use the page for future reference on how a proper movie page should look. Please do not do a new movie page if the quality of screenshots cannot meet these standards. --Ben41 (talk) 14:27, 23 August 2013 (EDT)

Pirahna and others

Hi! As I said before, you can email me if you need any help. And as a good advice: don't use the word "download" when it concerns the movies. :) I think you understand why it is. :) Greg-Z (talk) 13:44, 7 September 2013 (EDT)

Please email me: gereint@gmail.com. Any language except English isn't welcome here on discussion pages, so I'll remove the text that you've put in Russian. I'll examine the Medicopter page but I haven't seen this TV series so it will be hard to say something. Greg-Z (talk) 14:18, 7 September 2013 (EDT)

Medicopter Season 3

I looked through the page. The first pistol has grip safety so it is M1911A1, not M1911. The third pistol is not a Walther but a Heckler & Koch P9S. Jorge's pistol is also M1911A1. Karl Krebs' pistol is also a Heckler & Koch P9S. HK MP5s look more like standard MP5A5s rather than suppressed MP5SD - they are fitted with underbarrel devices (flashlights, I suppose) so the barrels look thicker. Greg-Z (talk) 14:30, 7 September 2013 (EDT)

Deletions

Please just edit the files and add {{nuke}} to those files and someone will get to them. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:27, 18 September 2013 (EDT)

Student

For the film Student, please do not place screenshots that reveal unnecessary spoilers or do not show the weapon. --Ben41 (talk) 17:01, 2 November 2013 (EDT)

The Fog

If you are going to do pages for American films or series, please find better sources for your screenshots. These should either be in High Definition (720p or 1080p) and from a DVD. --Ben41 (talk) 16:20, 18 November 2013 (EST)

Samurai Films

Please do not make any more pages for samurai film. You have made several pages for these films, and you've shown that only one firearm is used and it's the same weapon for every film. These films were basically known for their sword fighting and not firearms. Unless there is a different more recognizable weapon seen in the film, any more pages for samurai films that you make will be deleted. --Ben41 (talk) 20:34, 29 November 2013 (EST)

No Improvised Firearm Page

Sorry, but do NOT make a page for improvised firearms. Pages are for actual firearms, and "improvised firearm" is too broad a category. If there is something worth mentioning, you can add a comment about it in the movie page's discussion section. --Ben41 (talk) 19:05, 4 December 2013 (EST)

Pulse

We've mentioned this several times already, but if you're going to continue creating pages, you're going to have to find a better source for screenshots. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:18, 22 December 2013 (EST)

It's not a bad source for screenshot. This film was originally filmed in the dark tones and low resolution, because, it's a horror film. Pyramid Silent (talk) 15:27, 22 December 2013 (EST)

Nearly every one of the American horror films you made pages for have had terrible screenshots that had to be replaced. Any more American horror films that you create that have poor quality screenshots will be immediately deleted. --Ben41 (talk) 22:43, 27 December 2013 (EST)

Thanks

I'm from Ukraine and I wanted to thank you for working on many good horror films, especially from Slasher genre and especially Shtolnya, because there are not so many Ukrainian movies here, unfortunately (I'm also working to include a few more Soviet, Ukrainian and Russian ones). I also own a big collection of licensed DVD's and probably can help you to screencap some of the articles properly. So if you'll need something like this - you can ask. --Kloga (talk) 15:38, 22 December 2013 (EST)

OK! Thanks. If you want, you can give me your e-mail, and we can continue our talk in russian or ukrainian. Pyramid Silent (talk) 15:49, 22 December 2013 (EST)

there was an e-mail (I'll delete as you'll write something). --Kloga (talk) 16:20, 22 December 2013 (EST)

Desert Punk

Would you be able to finish the page for Desert Punk before moving on to other pages? The previous incarnation of the page mentioned 33 distinct firearms, and you only have ten. (See the discussion page.) The older page was deleted for not having screenshots, so the OP could've been mistaken, but that's still a big difference. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:05, 23 December 2013 (EST)

Yes, I do not include all firearm into those article, but it was in the bad quality or were not show all, only some parts like barrel or butt. Pyramid Silent (talk) 12:10, 23 December 2013 (EST)

There are many, many more firearms in this that are identifiable and shown in their entirety. I have this series in better quality (I capped the first 10 or so episodes a while ago but got distracted on other things) so if you are unable to finish it I will push this to the top of my list and get it done. Just looking through my caps of episode one, I can see the Winchester, a Browning HP, a Walther P38, a MAC 10, an Uzi, a PPSH, AR-15 Sporter carbines, FN FALs, RPG-7s, Thompsons, AK-47s, an L96 and a Colt SAA, all of which are fully seen and identifiable. If you cannot identify a weapon, that put caps of it on the discussion page and more likely that not other users will be able to identify it for you. In the future, please only start pages that you intend to finish as it is not fair to expect somebody else to do it for you. You did exactly the same thing with the Najica Blitz Tactics page where you only listed it as having 12 guns, and then when I went through and recapped it for better resolution I round there were 40 or so. Also, when making a page for a series please identify what episodes the weapons are used in, as well as including the episode name in the image files, such as "File:Desert Punk Episode 1 001.jpg" or something along those lines. --commando552 (talk) 12:47, 23 December 2013 (EST)

Ok Pyramid Silent (talk) 12:50, 23 December 2013 (EST)

Burn Up! page

I'm not sure why you felt a need to dead-link to the three other series and then mention you're personal familiarity with the franchise on the top of the page, but please don't do that again.--PistolJunkie (talk) 11:41, 24 December 2013 (EST)

Don't worry. I have DVD Burn-Up W and probably create article fo those anime too Pyramid Silent (talk) 12:09, 24 December 2013 (EST)

I was more reffering to the fact that you decided to reference your personal viewing history on the front of a page. And then mislabeled a one-shot OVA as a television series (Google is your friend). I try to make sure that any pages I make are up to site standards. I don't appreciate having them messed up.--PistolJunkie (talk) 16:41, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Please try to avoid including spoilers on your pages. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:09, 1 January 2014 (EST)

I'm sorry, if my articles contain spoilers, but I don't know how I can show film story without it. Pyramid Silent (talk) 13:13, 1 January 2014 (EST)

That's just it, we're not here to describe the plot of the film, we're here to describe the guns used. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:19, 1 January 2014 (EST)

Ummm, yeah, that IS a bit unusual. If you feel you can't control yourself, then fine, I'll do it. Good luck on your exams. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:02, 5 January 2014 (EST)

Your pages

-What is a "capsule pistol?"

-You keep using level 3 subheadings. Please go over the IMFDB Style Guide again. I've been fixing them for you, but you haven't been noticing.

-Was Medicopter 117 ever released on DVD? The TV watermark is a bit distracting.

--Funkychinaman (talk) 04:16, 22 January 2014 (EST)

In watermark you mean "prima"? My friend give me DVD disk with this series on the czech language by the prima TV channel, when he return from the Czech republic.

I use level 3 subheadings, because this article contain a very big types of varios firearms.

I wrote capsule pistol, means muzzle-loading pistol, that used Blasting cap (in Russian it named "capsule") for shooting. Like this rifle. Pyramid Silent (talk) 04:33, 22 January 2014 (EST)

The term is percussion cap pistol. And it's called "cap" because it literally caps the "nipple" leading to the chamber and it not short for capsule. Please change the headings to match our standards. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 04:37, 22 January 2014 (EST)

I'm sorry, I don't understand, where I shall changing headings: on Samurai Champloo, or Medicopter 117? Pyramid Silent (talk) 04:43, 22 January 2014 (EST)

Medicopter. --Funkychinaman (talk) 04:52, 22 January 2014 (EST)

The Glock looks a bit weird, and you have to fix the headings again, but otherwise, it looks okay. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:15, 27 January 2014 (EST)

Fritz Karl's revolver

The revolver on the screenshot on Fritz Karl page is no way a Nagant. I would guess that it is a Smith & Wesson Model 686. Greg-Z (talk) 11:44, 28 January 2014 (EST)

Check

Oh boy, the last one was a doozy. I think the only IDs that were correct are the S&W 686 and the Uzi. Just to start, the first two caps of the Glock are USPs, while the fourth clearly shows a hammer. The PP is a PPK, and the Hi-Power is an M1911. The Stechkin has to be wrong, you can see the frame mounted safety in the cap. The S&W 681 and the S&W 10 appear to be the same revolver, but neither of the IDs are correct. The first cap of the O/U shotgun clearly shows two pump action shotguns, while the others show a scope, which makes me believe it's some sort of O/U rifle instead. The Winchester 1300 looks like maybe a Mossberg 500. The unknown SMG is just an Uzi. And once again, your subheadings are the wrong size. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:26, 7 February 2014 (EST)

As it seems to me, the revolver, IDed as S&W 681, seems to have a vent rib over the barrel and looks mostly like a Taurus Model 689 while the second revolver in Ep. 1 lacks vent rib and has a different rear sight. Also it looks blued while the first one seems to be stainless. My guess for the second revolver is Smith & Wesson Model 586. Ludwig Reiter's pistol is definitly not an APS but rather an M1911-style pistol. The O/U gun resembles a Brno Model ZH-344 or Brno Stopper or Valmet Model 412 (maybe some other rifle or rifle/shotgun combo). Greg-Z (talk) 02:21, 8 February 2014 (EST)

BTW, the rocket launcher is M72 LAW. Greg-Z (talk) 08:52, 8 February 2014 (EST)

Case of Akiyoshi Umekawa.

He is 1970s's Criminal. I looked I don't know well. He committed a robbery murder at the age of 15. The bank made ​​a siege incident at the time of the 31-year-old, He is shot dead.

If I examine the erotic him, I found the movie "TATTOO＜刺青＞あり(There is a tattoo)". This film is a work depicting his upbringing. However, the case of the bank is not drawn, his name has also been changed. The film Trailer

Personally, too, I can not recommend this Movie. I think personally, and it is the work of the Japanese Red Armyand United Red Army's movie-related match to this IMFDB. Japanese Red Army is a terrorist organization on behalf of Japan, is a case to be taken up next to the Aum Shinrikyo even now. -- KINKI'boy 20:10, 4 March 2014 (JST)

Do NOT create a page for that film. --Ben41 (talk) 14:44, 4 March 2014 (EST)

Ok. Pyramid Silent (talk) 15:06, 4 March 2014 (EST)

Umekawa was mass murderer. Since it seems there was a misunderstanding, I'll explain. He wasn't Oumu and Red Army. He used 12 gauge double barrelled shotgun is Miroku's gun ? -- KINKI'boy 11:43, 5 March 2014 (JST)

Afro Samurai

I suspect the Afro Samurai page was deleted for lack of effort. I've seen it, I would've deleted it as well. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:01, 6 March 2014 (EST)

So, may I recreate this article or it's useless? Pyramid Silent (talk) 16:15, 6 March 2014 (EST)

It appears otherwise eligible. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:19, 6 March 2014 (EST)

I'm sorry, if you can, please recreate this page in my sandbox (and give me link to it, please) Pyramid Silent (talk) 16:27, 6 March 2014 (EST)

Oh, sorry, I thought you just wanted the page created. Hold on. --Funkychinaman (talk) 04:17, 7 March 2014 (EST)

YES. AT THE TIME of it's deletion it was a no effort page with minimal work. You guys don't have to automatically assume there some sort of evil and nefarious reason why old pages were deleted. The most common reason is that they were bullshit pages and they sucked (i.e. the work that went into the page, not the title itself). If we have a gun heavy page like "Heat" but instead it had a few gun descriptions, no pictures (at least no good ones) and it stayed like that for weeks, you can be SURE that it would be deleted. But good pages that are well done and held to the style code of IMFDB are welcome. MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 23:13, 10 March 2014 (EDT)

Russia 88

I doubt that the pistol is M1911, it has a different spur. Though it can be some version of 1911, or some other pistol. Sorry, it's hard to say anything for sure. The revolver is also hard to identify but a Nagant is an enough reasonable guess. Greg-Z (talk) 11:25, 16 March 2014 (EDT)

Please try to avoid spoilers. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:17, 16 March 2014 (EDT)

You can just stick with "<character> uses a <weapon>" and leave it at that. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:25, 16 March 2014 (EDT)

I'm guessing it's some sort of M1911 as well. As I said, there are a lot of spoilers on the page. --Funkychinaman (talk) 19:04, 16 March 2014 (EDT)

Inland Empire

I don't know where you get your english language movies, but the quality is very bad. Please find another way to get your English movies. How are you capturing the screenshots? Please try VLC player to capture screenshots in the future. --Ben41 (talk) 18:13, 21 March 2014 (EDT)

By my count, this is the SEVENTH time we've brought up poor quality of your screenshots. I can assure you that it will be the last. If you can't get a good copy of the film, then we'd prefer you not create a page at all. As it says in the Rules, "Quality, NOT Quantity." If you can't adhere by that, we will have to take corrective action. Thank you. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:47, 21 March 2014 (EDT)

Inland Empire was filmed on digital video with intentionally moderate quality. I have seen this film of Blu-Ray and 1920x1040 version doesn't seem to have better quality that a 720x480 one. Greg-Z (talk) 13:02, 22 March 2014 (EDT)

I do not think that this is solely the reason for the quality looking bad (a lot of the other movies capped by Pyramid Silent have poor quality even when this is not a gimmick of the film). The resolution of the caps is 688x367 which is not a legitimate resolution for and SD or HD releases that I have ever heard of so my guess is that it is a bootleg of some sort. Based on the fact that it came from Russia I imagine that most likely it is an R5 release which, although legal as they are released by the studio, are rushed out to try and avoid illegal bootlegs so therefore can have pretty crappy quality. They are not necessarily done that well and have none of the post-processing that would be found on a Western release or a later more "legitimate" region 5 one. --commando552 (talk) 13:42, 22 March 2014 (EDT)

Also, that gun wasn't even close to looking like a Stechkin. If you are not sure what a gun is, rather than just taking a random guess it is best to either label it as an unknown gun, or in the case of a film such as this where there is only the one gun start a topic on the main discussion page as if there is only one unidentifiable gun the piece of media is potentially not eligible. --commando552 (talk) 18:43, 21 March 2014 (EDT)

Pyramid Silent, if the film quality is intentional, you need to mention this in the summary. See the revised summary as an example. --Ben41 (talk) 13:09, 22 March 2014 (EDT)

Does this series qualify for inclusion? I can't find it on IMDB, and it looks like it was filmed underwater. Is there no way you could get better quality screenshots? --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:48, 12 April 2014 (EDT)

As Greg noted, if it's reality TV, it's ineligible. And why would the DVD copy be watermarked? --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:59, 12 April 2014 (EDT)

So you bought a bootleg. These are bootleg images. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:30, 12 April 2014 (EDT)

It's a TV series, as I found out, not a reality show. I confused it with another television program with same or similar name. Greg-Z (talk) 15:04, 12 April 2014 (EDT)

Iskateli

First, it's a reality show, right? Reality shows doesn't qualify for IMFDB, so the page cannot exist. And second, the quality of screenshots is very, VERY low. Also I can say that the pistol, identified as OTS-21, is identified incorrect. Note that OTS-21 lacks iron sights while the screen pistol has them. The shape of the "muzzle flame" makes me think that it's not a pistol at all but a pistol-shape lighter. Greg-Z (talk) 14:49, 12 April 2014 (EDT)

The low quality hampers the identification but I have a guess that the "german revolver" is simply a Nagant 1895. Maybe I'm wrong. About the compact pistol, as I said, it's not an OTs-21. The second screenshot allows to see iron sights that absend on OTs-21. Makarov I guess to be a gas pistol 6P42 or less-than-lethal IZh-79 or something like it because modern Russian TV series tend to use cheap (and creating no problems with laws) "non guns" rather that original firearms. Cannot say anything about the rifle (or shotgun) as it's seen very bad. 15:36, 12 April 2014 (EDT)

I agree, it's not a Nagant. Maybe a Webley? Greg-Z (talk) 16:11, 12 April 2014 (EDT) BTW, the English term for such revolvers is "top-break". Greg-Z (talk) 16:15, 12 April 2014 (EDT)

Samurai movies

Fair enough! And no I dont recall alot of multi-varied weaponry among the samurai movies I've seen so I'll let it be!. :) Dudester32 (talk) 14:00, 14 April 2014 (EDT)

Old revolver

Hmmm, I don't think it's either. The barrel seems too long for a Nagant, and there's a top strap, unlike most Lefaucheux. The loading gate is also wrong for a Nagant. Where was it found? --Funkychinaman (talk) 05:04, 24 April 2014 (EDT)

It's probably not a Webley, since it's got a loading gate and a guide for an ejector rod. --Funkychinaman (talk) 05:20, 24 April 2014 (EDT)

It looks kind of like the old solid frame .32 Webleys, but there are some differences such as the ribbed barrel. It is similar to this one, but in particular the barrel has a different profiling due to the lever for the ejector rod. Perhaps this is an earlier model or a copy, but don't really know. --commando552 (talk) 08:47, 24 April 2014 (EDT)

The loading gate is different as well. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:01, 24 April 2014 (EDT)

Shatun

The aspect ratio of most of the screencaps for Shatun appear to be off. I looks like they're supposed to be 16:9. Can you fix them and reupload? The instructions are here. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 06:02, 25 April 2014 (EDT)

You can just take the images you have now and adjust the dimensions. Just follow the link above. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:37, 25 April 2014 (EDT)

S&W 686 Image

I moved it to the talk page, but I feel compelled to ask, why did you post it up? It's a rare variant, doesn't appear to have been featured in anything, and image itself looks kinda low-grade. StanTheMan (talk) 14:46, 14 May 2014 (EDT)

In all honesty, you can't ID the gun at all from those images. That said, I take it it's the same gun as the one listed on the film's page, which actually looks like an 8" variant all-around anyway. So I guess that explains the image, and I guess next step is to replace the gun thumbnail on the film's page with the 8" barrel version. Though I have to say, that gun image is kinda poor. But anyway, thanks for answering. StanTheMan (talk) 17:34, 14 May 2014 (EDT)

Looks okay. I changed the title. Can you correct the page and upload a new English language poster? --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:08, 15 May 2014 (EDT)

I was hoping for a poster in English, but all I could find are DVD covers, none of which are as nice as the poster, which is in Japanese. --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:41, 15 May 2014 (EDT)

Did you see my comments on the discussion page? --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:07, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

At least three of the SIG-Sauers on the table are P228s. You can tell by the curved trigger guard and the double stack bulges. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:51, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

At least three of the SIG-Sauers on the table are P228s. The other one IS a P9/P220. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:09, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

Uploads

I know you've heard this before, but what is the deal with the watermarks? --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:12, 29 May 2014 (EDT)

I think there may be some sort of misunderstanding, but what is your definition of "licensed"? It's not just the watermarks, it's the fact that the time is there too, so it's obvious someone just recorded it off of TV. And is this Kommissar Rex? According to wikipedia, that show never got an official DVD release in Europe. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:29, 29 May 2014 (EDT)

So you think it's licensed because you paid a lot of money for it? Despite the TV watermarks? I know it's on Russian TV, it's all over your screencaps, STS-Volga in the late afternoons, sometime in winter (I'm assuming that's temperature in the top right corner.) --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:39, 29 May 2014 (EDT)

Broadcast rights and DVD rights are often completely separate. And even if they did have legal DVD distribution rights, they wouldn't leave the time and temperature in, would they?

You trust them, even though they just sold you a damaged disk? And besides, 90% of your IDs on the page are wrong. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:00, 29 May 2014 (EDT)

The actual content of the disks would indicate otherwise. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:03, 29 May 2014 (EDT)

The only one you got right was the Skorpion. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:09, 29 May 2014 (EDT)

And your subheadings are still wrong. I've been telling you about this since January. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:11, 29 May 2014 (EDT)

You're right, the Glock is correct. Strasser's pistol might be a Beretta, but it's missing a slide-mounted safety, so it's not a 92FS. Coincidentally, the unknown pistol directly below DOES appear to be a Beretta 92FS. Spitzer, Lanz, Bandit and Moser all appear to be using the same revolver, a S&W Model 66. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:28, 29 May 2014 (EDT)

The unknown revolver appears to be a S&W Model 38/49. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:44, 29 May 2014 (EDT)

Greg-Z will discuss this with you. --Funkychinaman (talk) 07:15, 30 May 2014 (EDT)

We've moved the page onto the discussion page for now. If you find a better source for screencaps, we'll restore it. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:53, 1 June 2014 (EDT)

Shadow of the Wolf

Although I'm a little getting ahead, but I want to say that the rifle, identified as Winchester (Shadow of the Wolf winchester 1.jpg and others), is a Martini-Henry and the rifle on Shadow of the Wolf rifle 1 1.jpg is a Lee-Enfield. Greg-Z (talk) 11:13, 6 June 2014 (EDT)

Sorry, I have no idea about this gun. But Unknown rifles 2 also seem to be Lee-Enfields, at least three of them. Greg-Z (talk) 12:05, 6 June 2014 (EDT)

BTW, why you titled the page Shadow of the Wolf (film)? There is no TV series with same title (at least as I could find on IMDb). The need for "(film)" is doubtful. Greg-Z (talk) 12:09, 6 June 2014 (EDT)

We don't have pages about books here on IMFDB. So "(film)" is needed only in case when TV series, anime or video game with the same title also exists. Greg-Z (talk) 12:15, 6 June 2014 (EDT)

One more about firearms: the rifle on the last image in Martini-Henry entry is a different one. It has a completly different stock. Greg-Z (talk) 12:15, 6 June 2014 (EDT)

Sorry, no guess. Greg-Z (talk) 12:36, 6 June 2014 (EDT)

The Indian Trade musket seems to be a good guess. The movie was filmed in Canada where (I guess) such guns are quite common. Greg-Z (talk) 07:27, 7 June 2014 (EDT)

I don't know what you mean by "Indian musket", Native Americans obtained all their firearms from the white man. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:40, 7 June 2014 (EDT)
