Re: LAR Grizzly
The LAR Grizzly Big-Bore is indeed a single-shot rifle, you have to reload after each shot. This can be seen in Tremors 2: Aftershocks when Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) loads the rifle. Orca1 9904 01:06, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- Interesting, thanks -User:AdAstra2009
I will try. I don't have one or access to one now, but I am visiting some of my peers who may have one. I have your pic request on my 'list of things to do'. best regards MoviePropMaster2008 01:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Perfect Dark
I was wondering why you removed the Heckler & Koch AG36 and the grenade launcher variant from Perfect Dark? Sci Fi Gunner 18:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Re: America's Army
Actually, if you look at the magazine curve of the AK-103/GP-30 compared to the magazines of the AKS-74U below it on the table, you'll see that the magazine loaded in the top AK is more curved than the AKS-74U's mags. As for the sniper rifle, the stock and handguard design match those of the FPK/PSL, which are noticably different than those of the Dragunov. Below are images of both rifles to show the differences:

Hulk
It's cool that you screencapped Hulk, but the page layout does not meet IMFDB standards. Please fix? -MT2008 23:56, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- What I mean is that the page needs:
- (1.) Proper grammar and capitalization throughout, including the gun names ("Beretta 92fs"?)
- (2.) Descriptions of the gun's use in the movie and, with it, links to the gun pages.
- (3.) Pictures of the guns individually.
- For instance, look at my page for The Incredible Hulk to see how I did it. When in doubt, you can always hit "edit" on another page and then copy-and-paste code for the guns as they appear on those pages. I'll help if you need it. Thanks. -MT2008 21:11, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Great work on Dawn of the Dead(1978)
Great work. Looks good.
Smith & wesson 916A
Do you want a gun photograph of a S&W 916A? I have one in the warehouse, but it will take a few weeks to get to it MoviePropMaster2008 02:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Dragon is indeed a G36K
I've uploaded an image which makes the similarity clearer; sure, it's a very blocky G36K with a lot of parts either completely wrong or at least oddly placed [like the whole trigger group and reciever being dropped down by the width of the barrel shroud], but then the AR34 and Sniper Rifle are hardly going to win awards for being faithful reproductions of the FAMAS and WA2000 either. Dongs 01:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- There's plenty of resemblance. If you take into account that the whole rear of the gun is dropped by the width of the shroud, the trigger group and magazine well are very close. The barrel shroud is long and thin, the stock is a similar shape but upside-down, and the flash suppressor is identical to that of a G36K. Again, none of the weapons are that close to the ones they're based on; if you could find me a wood-furnished P90 with angular grips and a white magazine taking up most of the gun's midsection we can talk about how the Dragon isn't a G36K just because it's a mess.
The Falcon 2 is clearly M1911-derived, and only looks more like the Double Eagle because it's extremely similified; the identical sight indicates it's based on the AMT Hardballer Longslide from Terminator, so that's what should go there. Dongs 01:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC) - In addition, please stop reverting to a version of the page that includes a number of errors. Two people have added that it's a G36 to the article, entirely seperately of each other. This implies you should at least listen to the arguments to that effect rather than reverting it. Dongs 01:55, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Similar, yes, but the kicker is that the Falcon 2 was obviously designed with reference to a specific movie prop, so the resemblance to the Double Eagle is probably just because the Hardballer also looks like a Double Eagle. Colour the lever at the back of the Hardballer's slide black, and you get a black area the same shape as the grip of the Falcon 2. Dongs 02:05, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hold on, I'll upload a picture that shows the resemblancer better; it's not that clear looking at the right-hand side of the prop, but the scope mount of the PD sight is virtually identical, as is the overall shape of it and the length relative to the gun. Dongs 02:11, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Granted, the mounting is turned backwards and the scope is the same at both ends, but you can certainly see what I'm talking about now, yes? Dongs 02:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- I wouldn't call that particularly conclusive, given the gross differences in some of the other guns [WA2000 scope, etc]. Certainly the Hardballer has to come first because it's obvious the most commonly depicted version [scoped, used in most promo renders] was based on a specific movie prop; I suppose the most obvious explanation was they thought the Double Eagle was the short version of the Hardballer and so we get a weird hybrid gun. I've already added a note regarding the grip shape to the article, you could probably add that in the same place. But again, Rare's N64 games aren't exactly renowned for accurate weapon depictions; neither gun has a grip which extends above the trigger. Dongs 02:37, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
