Usability Concerns

Databasification

Despite IMFDB billing itself as a "database" of information, it is not actually structured like a database. Gun appearances have to be manually filled into gun and actor pages, instead of being automatically generated. This forces lots of busywork that could be optimized away; by restructuring the Wiki so that "Gun Appearance Entries" can be logged into a database (containing gun model, gun notes, gun user, etc.), and then having Gun/Actor pages automatically retrieve entries from that database to build their gun appearance tables, this eliminates the need for manual entry inputting, making the appearance pages more complete and reducing the burden on our editors.

Example of implementation: Yugipedia's card database functions.

To-Do

  • Wiki-Wide
    • Templatize more tables
    • phase out the old "page template" pages
    • Identify and delete zero-width character + line break combo
    • Phase out See Also guns
    • Fixing the special pages
    • (fake) caliber is stupid
    • More detailed page review system, or at least elaborate on the difference between WIP and Incomplete
    • Fixing director categories
    • Broken files
    • Make the search bar only show "Internet Movie Firearms Database" (no hyphen and stuff after that)
    • Make the search bar not be case sensitive
    • Better sorting for talk-page-only storage pages
    • Disclaimer on IMFDB's reliability as a firearm research source
    • Bring in a more modern Wikipedia/Wikimedia Template suite (more navbox features, better infoboxes, hatnotes, notice boxes, etc.)
  • Media pages
    • Fix and delete the ", The" redirects.
    • Mobile gaming curation proposal
    • Really, user-translated names? (compare w/ Wikipedia policies on naming films)
    • fixing the hitman pages (the state of the pages is in part my fault)
  • Gun pages
    • Reorganize break-action weapon pages (where do i even start)
    • Better name for AKMSU? AKM Krinkov?
    • I messed up the Galil ACE identifications.
    • Samurai Edge individual page maybe? At least do something about the janky Beretta 96 page.
    • Schwarzlose submachine gun
    • Corrections about the Art Gallery Frommer Stop
    • How is the Saving Private Ryan Unertl scope mounted
    • Clean up MKb and StG pages
  • Main Page
    • A better Featured Articles section
    • A Did you know section
    • Sister projects section
    • Known issue: "@media (min-width: 875px)" creates visible "snap" in the margins when you resize and cross the 875px threshold
  • Manufacturer pages
    • Chinese provincial military industries?
  • Templates
    • Make Template:Media table start automatically adjust size

Perpetual Tasks/Vague Goals

  • Small Arms Illustrated photoshops should all be clearly marked (but which ones are SAI photoshops?)
  • Mark out IMFDB original images
    • Do something about IMFDB original photshops?
  • Need some expert opinions on topics like European blank-firing gun manufacturers or Asian airsoft manufacturers
  • IMFDB personal blogs (more media outreach, tap into the "YouTube FPS weapon demo" crowd, address the lingering "country weapon list" demand)
    • Official IMFDB weapon ID guides (inspired by Discord channel)
    • More weapon ID help channels beyond just the Discord channel?
  • Support image annotations (red circle pointing out the "I just broke the fire selector") and/or video weapon demos?
  • Ads, a necessary evil, but could we do still make it look nicer?

Chinese Gun Name Notes

  • SDM is a brand of Italian importer Prima Armi S.r.l.
  • "BAM" logo refers to Jiangsu Xinsu Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Unless confirmed otherwise I'm just gonna assume that all RE airsoft replicas are Tokyo Marui. Please add image sources people so I won't accidentally identify some guy's custom work as TM official.

Seburo & Posiedon things (mainly Poseidon)

Seburo (Japanese: セブロ) is a fictional arms company created by Japanese science fiction mangaka Masamune Shirow. The company and its products have appeared in multiple works by Shirow (Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, New Dominion Tank Police, Black Magic M-66, etc).

Dai-Nihon Giken Poseidon is a Japanese indie studio (named after Poseidon Global Industrial Technologies in Appleseed) led by artist Seiji Tanaka that produces airsoft conversion kits and model replicas for anime and manga weapons, including Seburo weapons. They also produce other Anime-inspired original creations, such as the CQB TYPE-0 "RAISEN" conversion kit seen in Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries (2003) or the Type 06 IkaZuchi conversion kit; the latter was notably cloned without license by Jing Gong as the Jing Gong Thunder Maul.

This list primarily documents creations Dai-Nihon Giken Poseidon. It is likely that other Seburo weapons not covered by Poiseidon will have their own replicas done by other studios. Some of the following products may no longer be available. Most are not available outside of Japan anyways.

Also: Trident Works. Distributor for custom models? Including Poseidon?

  • Compact eXploder Note: Multiple Japanese (and a few English) sources I read specify the in-universe caliber as the 5.7mm Compact round, based on the 5.7x28mm used on the P90. The weapon was also described by these sources as holding 30 rounds in universe. I am not sure if these originate from an official source from Shirow or somewhere else.
  • Note on the Gundam gun: I could not find a primary source for the image; Wayback Machine shows that they used to have a Gundam gun on their website, but it was apparently later pulled from the website for unknown reasons (maybe a case of screwed by the lawyers?), and the images on the website are not archived on the Wayback Machine. The current image is from a secondary source that I did not verify thoroughly.

Possibly photoshopped AR-15s

Some of these AR-15 images might be photoshopped, and they aren't officially marked as photoshopped on the official page. However, this project will have to hold for now and be dealt with later, since we don't have clear standards on photoshopped images and minimally edited images.

Some of the MP5 images might be photoshopped too?

M16 (or Colt AR-15 SP1) with an A1 "birdcage" flash hider, used to resemble the M16A1. This version has a 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)

Mockup of an XM16E1 rifle with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. This can be identified as a mockup by its full magazine fence and strengthened front pivot point, neither of which appeared on the XM16E1. (Possibly Photoshopped)
M16A1 with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)
Colt M16A2 - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)
M16A4 with carry handle attached - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)
Colt Sporter II Carbine with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. Colt model #R-6420. Colt still insisted on using the SP1 style lower receiver so any rifle that looks like this but has the ribbing around the magazine release button is not a Colt rifle. Variants of this rifle have both the round and tear drop forward assist buttons, however, most of the early years of production had the tear drop button, like this rifle in the photo. (Possibly Photoshopped)

Colt Model 609 / XM177E1 - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)
Colt Model 610 / GAU-5/A - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)
Colt Model 653 "M16A1 Carbine" - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)
Colt Model 653 "M16A1 Carbine" modified with a 16" barrel - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)
Colt Model 654 "M16A1 Carbine", the export model of the Model 653 without forward assist - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)
Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)
Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock and carrying handle removed - 5.56x45mm (Possibly Photoshopped)
