Unknown Pistol

P250C

Might be a SIG P250 Compact? --Lemonificent (talk)

Until this character have a screen time, I agree he's wielding a SIG series handgun. But I don't think he's wielding a compact version, because it's possible that tall & average build man (in this case, avatar) could made some pistol look like compact pistol with his long fingers.

Tried to take a closer look. Ginro does appear to have a SIG-based pistol, but not that I can tell. Ominae (talk) 03:22, 14 July 2014 (EDT)

Beat me to it

Thank god I logged in today, otherwise, I would have wasted my time since someone already started this Excalibur01 (talk) 23:05, 6 July 2014 (EDT)

That makes two of us. ^.^; The Wierd It (talk) 03:29, 7 July 2014 (EDT)

FN Minimi is a M249-E1?

I know in the anime they called it a Minimi, but isn't it actually a M249-E1? My justification is in the stock. If you compared the stocks of M249-E1 and FN Minimi, it looks more like the M249-E1 with more part of the stocks filled in than the Minimi. Also the back sights too.

FN Minimi

M249-E1

I get the feeling that this is one of those gun shows that will have low quality guns for background characters and more detailed guns for guys in the foreground Excalibur01 (talk) 00:00, 13 July 2014 (EDT)

I don't know, I'm just positive that the depicted weapon isn't a FN Minimi from what I've seen on the details. I just need confirmation that I am right so I can change it. Inceptor57 (talk) 01:40, 13 July 2014 (EDT)

Well, the back sights are, if nothing else, more akin to those of the M249, rather then the original Minimi. --BeloglaviSup (talk) 07:52, 13 July 2014 (EDT)

Exactly, and there is the similarity in the stocks as well like I stated. Inceptor57 (talk) 10:42, 13 July 2014 (EDT)

Sinon situation

Maybe this will become moot point at best because pretty sure almost every IMFDB member have their own carry weapon, but I want to ask for your opinion about this. What would you do if your relative experienced the situation like Sinon has? Johnny Akiba (talk)

It's also a moot point because of differing attitudes to firearms in Japan compared to America. Said attitudes form a big part of her character. The Wierd It (talk) 05:58, 25 July 2014 (EDT)

Well there are multiple points to this. First is the shock and trauma of Sinon. She's got to be like 10 or even younger from how she's drawn. I can't tell since Anime can be deceptive of age. She seems to have PTSD very bad and she's sorta going into one direction when it comes to guns. Psychologically in a game, she's fine with it, maybe her mind sees it as an illusion and doesn't cause her to have flashbacks despite how real the VR sims are like but when she holds a toy gun that doesn't even look like a gun, just grip and shape, she freaks out and throws up. She really needs serious help. On the subject of the incident, the first shot was an accident, but the next few shots were deliberate. Even as a kid, she clear sees danger (the robber, not the gun), and picks up the gun as a means of defense, first to deny the weapon by disarming the robber and then turning the weapon against him. This shows clear initiative and courage on her part. Of course she couldn't fathom the serious consequences of taking a life until she already did, which a lot of people even people who carries guns every day face. I've never shot anyone before, but even with a lot firearms training and, I have no experience of what it's like to take a life and have blood on my hands even when its justified. To a lot of people, it's a day we hope will never come. But a lot will also be thankful that we had the gun, had the training and was prepared, with the right means and mindset to defend ourselves and others from harm.

Gun Store

At some point I'm going to cap and try to ID the stuff from the gun store, but I think I'm gonna need help with it. The Wierd It (talk) 18:06, 26 July 2014 (EDT)

I got the caps for it already and can start uploading tonight or tmrw morning. Should the gun store items be placed in a second category from the guns since there is a lot in it?Inceptor57 (talk) 20:53, 26 July 2014 (EDT)

We can put in the "Others" section. That can work. Unless all of them are in certain category. Ominae (talk) 21:26, 26 July 2014 (EDT)

Left handed?

I don't think the character is actually left handed. We've seen him hold swords right handed though it could be argued that he's ambi Excalibur01 (talk)
