Hawaii Five-0

Thanks for adding the Nambu pistol on the Hawaii Five-0 (1968) page. In the future, please use a DVD program such as VLC player that allows you to directly take screenshots. You can take a look at my User page to see how I capture screenshots from DVD's. --Ben41 04:44, 10 December 2011 (CST)

I don't have VLC. I have to use what I have.

VLC is a free program to download. If you are going to use another dvd program, you need to see it so you can't see any of the logos and crop off the excess black areas. Take a look at the revised screenshot for reference. --Ben41 10:39, 10 December 2011 (CST)

I guess I can crop stuff off by hand as needed.

If you're planning on adding screenshots for Hawaii Five-0, please upload the entire image instead of leaving white spaces. Please refer to the new images I've put up on that page. If you're having problems with VLC captures, you can try Fast Stone Image Viewer, which allows you to capture images right off your computer screen. --Ben41 18:15, 16 February 2012 (CST)

I don't VLC. Nor do I have other one.

Both are free to download. --Funkychinaman 20:57, 24 February 2012 (CST)

Please crop the black bars

Because Dragnet was shot in the 4x3 "Square" format, you need to crop the black bars off the sides before uploading. You can use Microsoft Picture manager to do this or Fast Stone Image Viewer (a free program to download). --Ben41 11:02, 10 December 2011 (CST)

I'll go back and do that when I get a chance.

Working on doing that. May take a day or 2.

Detroit 187

While you're still working on screenshots, it's best if you put up now the gun images of the weapons you believe are used in the series. As for whether the particular Glock is used, a front shot of the barrel can best determine this, as the larger the bore would mean a larger caliber. --Ben41 (talk) 01:07, 24 October 2012 (EDT)

I will do so. I know its a either a Glock 22 or 23- Frame size is what really determines which Glock

Or you can just get a close-up of the slide and we can read it. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:36, 24 October 2012 (EDT)

Dundee

Do you work for the Cabela's in Dundee? --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:32, 24 October 2012 (EDT)

I sure do.

I went there a few times, most recently about a year ago, bought a box of .38 Specials. It almost seems wrong to call Cabela's a sporting goods store, it's more like a theme park. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:42, 24 October 2012 (EDT)

You may have run into me then. I'm John the Reloading Guru there. The company calls itself an outfitter of hunting, fishing, camping and outdoor gear.

Well, I live two states away now. I was only up there last year for a friend's wedding. But when I did live in the area, the first thing I ever bought there were primers. (I don't reload, I just had some Speer plastic training rounds.) --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:51, 24 October 2012 (EDT)

I think I ran into you. I recall a guy or 2 who needed primers for plastic training rounds

This would've been at least a decade ago. Hmmm, I should see if I still have those rounds... --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:13, 24 October 2012 (EDT)

Maybe not. I haven't been there that long. Only 4 years...

Streets of SF

Look, we appreciate the enthusiasm, but I think it'd be best if you finished up Detroit 1-8-7 first. Streets of SF is 121 episodes long, which is a big commitment, and I think it's only fair to ask that you finish the 18 episode series first before starting another series. --Funkychinaman (talk) 22:35, 26 October 2012 (EDT)

I'm working on both. They will get done.

I've modified The Streets of San Francisco page and the Colt Detective Special entry to show how the proper format should be. Please make sure you link the weapons and actors to their respective pages. --Ben41 (talk) 00:58, 27 October 2012 (EDT)
