| − | ==Help on Shotgun ID==
| + | At the ''[[John Carter (2012)|John Carter]]'' movie, most Tharks (Green Martian clan) use Thark Martian rifles. Of course, it was futurised guns, but, after closing inspection of the original movie props, I notice, that's this futusistic rifles were made from [[Tanegashima]]s (of course, a modern replicas). For proving this guess, I made a photoshoping compilation of the movie props and modern Tanegashima replica. So, I guess, that's useful to ID the gun as Tanegashma.

Of course, the movie prop is equipped with some part of other guns (percussion hammer) as well as some junks, to look more futuristic, as well, it's sawn in half, but the basing gun is Tanegashima.]] |

| + | ==Smiling Friends page?== |
| − | :: That's what I had thought initially but something seemed/seems off, the pump grips especially seem rather short and/or the mag tubes and barrels seem a bit long. Slightly odd proportions to me - More like these are riot shotguns with extended mag tubes but with slightly longer barrels (ones that go past the mag tube extension - sorta like the 870 in ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''). But then again these are shots done in movement and at not the best angles - Basically just aren't great pictures. Looking at the episode again, though, another Mossberg seems the most solid guess at this point though. Thanks much.

| − | :: It doesn't seem to have the 'LadySmith' markings, if so, not a 3913LS. It could be the 'Non-Logo' version, the 3913 NL, though. That's doubtful too, however - The forend and slide seem too short, the eject port doesn't seem to be low enough and while it's tough to tell, the slide serrations seem straight and not slanted like those on the S&W autos. The gun also doesn't appear to have the round 'plug' at the right rear of the slide (where the safety would be on a standard 3913). The grip doesn't seem to match up either. Strangely enough, it does seem to have the two-tone alloy frame and stainless slide like you would see on 3913s (and other Smith autos). I think Greg might have had it right initially - That this is not a genuine S&W auto but rather a replica of one.

| − | ::Short answer: no. If you take the time to train with one and if you're left-handed and switch it for left side ejecting (though you're out of luck with the L85), they're just as good as any traditionally layout weapon. The reason most people are not into bullpups is usually because they prefer or are more use to traditionally layout weapons. I'm not saying bullpups are vastly better (though they have good perks) but they are not by all means worse. Especially newer designs like the Kel-Tec RDB that fixed ejecting into your face problems with bullpups altogether (better than the F2000) by simply ejecting casings straight down a port behind the magazine.

| − | I was reading the rules and regulations about screencaps and didn't see anything about Netflix and YouTube as a source. Is taking screenshots from movie scenes originating from either of these sources not allowed or frowned upon at all? --[[User:Caldwellb734|Caldwellb734]] ([[User talk:Caldwellb734|talk]]) 13:39, 22 November 2015 (EST)

| − | :There are instructions in the [[IMFDB Screencapping Guide]] regarding streaming media. It's a bit more work, so nowadays, I tend to avoid it. Netflix is preferable to Youtube, since Youtube quality (and legality) is sometimes suspect. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 13:41, 22 November 2015 (EST)

| − | Yesterday I uploaded a page for [[American Heist]]. There’s one sniper rifle that’s perfectly visible but that I cannot identify, see 2 images below. It has a distinctive bold handle plus an external magazine, anybody’s got a clue? - [[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] ([[User talk:PeeWee055|talk]]) 08:26, 23 November 2015 (EST)

| − | Can anyone ID this rifle from ''[[Longmire - Season 3|Longmire]]''? I think I see some sort of safety switch on the left side of the bolt, but it's a bit too dark to see any more. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 12:43, 23 November 2015 (EST)
