| − | ==Extra work on the SG-1 page== | + | == Infoboxes == |
| | | | |
| − | Hey, I really like all the work you've done to make the SG-1 page into a comprehensive list of all the weapons that have appeared on the show. However, I must ask...would you be OK if I did some extra work on it just to make it a little less taxing on the eyes? When you have lots and lots of screenshots, it's usually a good idea to make them into thumbnails on the page so that they don't wind up being an eyesore. | + | Hey. So first off, a disclaimer, I am posting the following message for each of the Admins so don't think I'm spamming. Just want to get input from all of you. I have been working on a number of infoboxes for different pages ([[Template:Infobox Movie]], [[Template:Infobox TV]], [[Template:Infobox Video Game]]). I have already gotten some help from [[Bunni]] who installed an additional add-on to facilitate the templates. I would love to get some feedback from you (and other admins) regarding these. Do you like the format? Are there things you would like changed? Should additional information be added? The nice thing is that with the add-on that [[Bunni]] installed, you do not have to provide all the information for the infobox. Any variables left blank will simply not be printed. |
| | | | |
| − | Additionally, I'd also recommend you add episode info to each screenshot (if you've got it), as well as pictures of the guns from our archive so that anyone browsing this site will have something to compare it to. See what I've done on the section for the very first gun on the page (the Beretta M9) as an ex of what I mean.
| + | Finally, I would like to see how you feel about my adding these to pages. I have gotten positive feedback from a number of users (including at least 3 admins) but before I add this to more than a dozen or so pages (which I have done for testing purposes) I want to really get full permission. I know that sweeping changes are a '''MAJOR''' no-no without full admin approval. Check out the thread in the forum (http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=1942). I look forward to hearing your feedback! :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 11:15, 9 May 2012 (CDT) |

| − | -If you want to make the page better, go right ahead. I had no problems with the size of some of the pics cause I think it draws attention, but if you think it is better a little smaller, go right ahead. I'm still new to the wiki editting, so I don't know how to do everything.

| − | ==SG-1 Screenshots==
| + | Hello, good sir, I hope you don't mind me posting this here, if so please take every right to delete it. But, I have come to plead for your help and expertise. I have added some new discussion to Leon's handgun(s) in Resident Evil 6, and I am asking for your opinion, and if you agree with the evidence I have provided, that you could back me up. If you think I'm an idiot I will admit defeat haha I'm only asking for your expertise. Thanks, again. --[[User talk:TheREwiz|TheREwiz]] |

| − | GREAT WORK! on the SG1 screen shots. I just wish more people knew how to do great screen shots and put them in the pages. It really makes the page great! BTW: I will be doing more custom gun photographs soon and I will be photographing my own USAS-12 with both stick and drum magazines in place. I try to grab as many real movie guns from my own inventory (plus guns from the inventory of professional colleagues as I can), but they're in the biz of making movies and get annoyed with me sometimes, since I always want to take softbox photos of their guns against a white background. I will GET shots of the actual guns from T-2 perhaps in a month when I get a chance. Great WORK on the SG1 pics!

| + | == Uploading image == |
| | | | |
| − | Your pages for the Stargate movies and TV show are really awesome! Thanks for all the hard work you've put in! I wish I could do the same, except my POS laptop has been really acting up lately and I literally can't play any of my DVDs on it right now.
| + | i need some help the gun i want to upload doesn't appear in the image's place how do i fix that [[User:Balin21]] |
| | | | |
| − | Anyway, I just thought I'd help out with some extra details, in case you find them relevant:
| + | == The Walking Dead video game == |
| | | | |
| − | *(1.) Most of the M16A2s on ''SG1'', especially in the early seasons, are actually M16A1s that have been fitted with A2-style handguards. You can tell because they have A1-style receivers which lack the brass deflector and the elevation-adjustable rear sight (look closely at the rifle in the top picture, for instance). A few of them (usually in non-firing scenes) are actually civilian AR15 SP1s which lack even the forward assist and the magazine fencing.
| + | Have you heard about a walking dead video game by telltale games i think it might have alot of gun in it? [[User:Balin21]] |
| | | | |
| − | *(2.) I believe the AKs used by the Russian SG team are actually Norinco Type 84s, which is a Chinese AK variant that fires 5.56x45mm. In the show, they seem to be fitted with AK74-style folding stocks and muzzle breaks, but the design of the magazine (steel and ribbed, not plastic like the real AK74) gives them away.
| + | == Daryl's New Crossbow == |
| | | | |
| − | *(3.) The AKs used by the Hondurans are a Yugoslav copy called the [[Zastava M70|Zastava M70B]].
| + | If we identify what type of crossbow it is can we put it on the walking dead season 3 page?--[[User:Balin21|Balin21]] ([[User talk:Balin21|talk]]) 15:04, 5 March 2013 (EST) |
| | | | |
| − | *(4.) Many of the M203s on ''SG1'' are look-a-like 37mm Colt flare launchers, which is very common in many movies and TV shows when they don't want to spend the money - or go through the legal difficulties - of getting real M203s (which are NFA-regulated items).
| + | == Anime == |
| | | | |
| − | *(5.) As far as the "Carter Special" (the little AR with the thumbhole stock) goes, the picture you posted to illustrate it is an airsoft replica. The guy who built it (for that "Stargate6.com" site that doesn't work anymore) once posted about it on Airsoft Retreat, years ago now. Somebody else actually built a real one, except that it was semi-auto only and had been registered as an SBR in that person's state. I wish so much that I remember where the hell I saw/heard about it! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]
| + | You will have to talk to [[Bunni]] about that. Best way to reach him is to shoot him an [[Special:EmailUser/Bunni|email]]. I know we are looking for more people to contribute! --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] <span style="color:green">''IMFDB Chief of Operations''</span> ([[User talk:Zackmann08|talk]]) 22:02, 18 July 2013 (EDT) |
| | | | |
| − | ==Contributions to IMFDB response== | + | ==Trigun page== |
| − | It says one of your contributions is Flashpoint. Respectively, I'd like to mention I've listed almost every gun on their and every picture, screenshots and all to the page. No offense of course, but I have to brag to someone :). I cleaned up you profile page, hope you don't mind.
| + | Took long enough, but [[Trigun|I think I'm done]]. I suppose I should do the movie too at some point.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] ([[User talk:PistolJunkie|talk]]) 01:50, 14 September 2013 (EDT) |
| | | | |
| − | ::Alright, you did a lot of listing and then some pictures, but I also did some additions as well as add my own pictures. I mean, the series is pretty new, at the 4th episode and I named about 3 weapons and uploaded a handful of pictures. I think that much work than minor additions deserves to be "contributions" than on just "minor" additions. I mean if the series was complete and there is always a pretty complete page with photos and I jumped in and added my own, then yeah, that's a minor addition. But since I am doing my best with this new series since it's hard to find screenshots, I think I deserve a mention.

| − | We all love your pages, you make them well, but can you please put them in proper format? Copy it from another page if you must, because it's hard work changing it for you. I just finished doing it with the Gone in 60 seconds page, and then you bring up another. And don't forget to add stock pictures of the gun itself. That's why they have gun pictures for use on the site. I'm not trying to argue or anything but putting the pages into proper format is difficult with another person's page. By putting something in "thumb" format, you make the picture with a nice looking frame, and yoo can add a caption under it. I put your pic size at 500px because I figured you like the shots big(I do 400px). Also, the poster looks nice when you move it to the right. after each picture type in:

| − | Thank you so much for uploading screencapps for the page, I was afraid I'd have to see pictureless "Unknown" guns on the page the whole time until the DVDs came out. your shots look great. I would have kept doing it, but my screencapping system died, and I missed so many episodes, they stopped playing some on the CBS site, and I'd missed too many, and figured I'd just wait for the DVDs.

| + | [[User:Rockwolf66|Rockwolf66]] ([[User talk:Rockwolf66|talk]]) 22:59, 9 September 2019 (EDT) |
| − | The High Standard HDM is a maybe, the ruger II is a definate no. The gun clearly has a flat top and the slide is open top and in full. A Ruger has a concealed slide inside the gun with nothing but the toggle knobs visible. It may be a S&W 46, but it is hard to tell.
| |
| | | | |
| − | That is/was an M60E4/Mk43 Mod 1. The GPMG is used by the SEALS and by the 5th SFG in "real life" so it would be logical for it to be in the Unit's inventory alongside the H&K 416. The addition of so many rails to the thing almost obliterates the classic outlines of the M60 (that and a major reworking of the feed system). Besides with Dennis Haysbert's size...the thing probably would look like a SAW. - [[Charon68]]
| + | He's overestimating his contribution to at least the first two Telltale Walking Dead games. The majority contributor was ''me'' on those and I painstakingly screencapped many of the images from YouTube playthroughs (hence the varying quality) while others I got from the TWD Wiki (which I did with their permission, mind you). Not saying others didn't contribute as well, but "almost entirely" is a bit of a stretch. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 00:13, 10 September 2019 (EDT) |

| + | I figured that the guy is a liar. I mean people have been kicked from here for being racist. I have a reasonable suspicion that the former user has a name here related to his Avatar on Quoara.

| | | | |
| − | I'm a bit torn on the matter. On the one hand, I agree that it's easy to get carried away with cartoons, which are basically not intended to be serious and rarely focus upon guns (the way action movies do). However, it is true that some cartoonists ''are'' actually gun guys and depict guns pretty realistically in their shows. Most seasons of ''[[South Park]]'', for instance, feature very detailed images of M16A1s, SPAS-12s, S&W 5904/06, and a bullpup rifle similar to the G36 that were obviously intended to duplicate the real guns. In cases like that, I think it ''could'' be argued that the creators actually did show an attempt to depict guns realistically. | + | Apparently, what ultimately prompted him to write this is the fact that I indirectly mentioned him in the BF5 talk page, even though I was talking more about the situation that happened back then, not because it was specifically him. I mean, I barely had any interaction with him, and it doesn't matter which user it was, I would have made the same comment anyway. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 02:44, 10 September 2019 (EDT) |

| + | Wow, talk about narcissistic much. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this guy is [[User talk:Godzillafan93|Godzillafan93]], since he's the one that seems to have contributed most after me on the Walking Dead pages and his talk page has the exchange with Tim regarding "Jap" on it that this Steven McReynolds mentions.

| − | Hi,
| + | : Lol this guy, huh? For the record, the chunk of his rant about his old 'Mary Sue' remark was me, so I apologize to Tim and/or you for getting smeared with that. ;P And I only merely thought it was worth mentioning because if he wants to waste time grandstanding on social and cultural etiquette maybe he could start by practicing what he preaches. A lesson I suppose he's learned now - "How pathetic does your life have to be for you to waste that much time on something this trivial?" Indeed. XD But whatever, I guess it's his life and all.

| − | I appreciate you providing screencaps for movies such as ''[[Pineapple Express]]''. But...I have some reservations. I know your screencaps would have to be from a bootleg AVI or MPEG file, since the movie isn't out on DVD or Blu Ray yet. I am a bit concerned that if studio spies were prowling the net for stuff like this, they might come upon your screencaps and we'd get in trouble. | + | :::I know I'm not around much as I have a life and don't have time to do lots of screencaps or to get the lattest in movies.

| − | I will not delete the shots you've already uploaded, but in the future, I'd prefer that you didn't upload screenshots from movies that haven't come out on DVD yet, just in case we get in trouble. Plus, the DVD will always be superior quality, anyway. That is all.

| − | | |
| − | :::That is a good question. The answer is, basically not. Technically, posting screencaps from DVDs - even those you've bought - falls within particular intellectual property infringements, but in practice, these have largely gone unenforced. | |
| − | | |
| − | :::Downloading a bootleg copy of a movie, however, is another issue entirely. If you post screenshots from a movie that isn't out on DVD, you might as well be advertising that you were bootlegging.

I'm not exactly sure what kind it is, though it does appear to be a Smith & Wesson semi-auto of some sort. It looks the most like a [[Smith & Wesson 4000 pistol series#Smith & Wesson 4506|Smith & Wesson 4506]], but the squared trigger guard looks like that on the [[Smith & Wesson 5900 pistol series#Smith & Wesson 5906|Smith & Wesson 5906]].

| |
| − | Great job with the page (did you figure out how to crop the widescreen shots mid-way?). When I had first seen the movie, I wasn't a capper yet. I'm stumped on the SMG but I'm sure MT or MPM will know or find out (I'll check some of my sources if they don't know). I'll be working on the Dark Knight some more. Let me know if you need anymore help.

| − | | |
| − | And with Taurus to Beretta, basically all Berettas except the first model 92 (seen in [[Hotel Rwanda]] have decocking safeties. The 92S has a rounded trigger and a right decocker. The 92SB has rounded trigger and ambi decocker. The Beretta 92F and FS are visually the same but have a squared trigger guard and an ambi decocker.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now the have always had frame mounted slide stop safeties like 1911s. Most have ambidextrous frame safeties. The squared trigger guard is slightly more rounded (still reversed curve, but softer). The AF models are more recent and newer looking (they have widened cocking serations). For I.Ding, that's about the basics of it. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

I know those guys make a serious attempt to draw guns as realistically as possible (I believe they use airsoft guns as their references, but still, give 'em credit for making do with what they have, since Japan's gun laws are so strict). Cartoons like ''[[Family Guy]]'' are a bit of a stretch, but at least it's a professionally-done TV series, and at least they do make some attempt at realistic guns (i.e. the obvious XM8s in one episode).

When I was a new user here, I did plenty of pages with those myself (nowadays, I mostly use DVDs and iTunes movie rentals). Main reason I was nervous about ''[[Pineapple Express]]'' was that it was a big movie, and some studio spy might see our page, and he would know it was a bootleg because the movie wasn't out on DVD when the page was screencapped. MoviePropMaster agreed with me on that. Of course, ''[[Tunnel Rats]]'' is a Uwe Boll movie, which means nobody should get upset if it's bootlegged (that dude doesn't deserve to make money off his movies at all).

Of course, the law hasn't been written, so I see no need to get angry at somebody for being ignorant of something that they couldn't have known. But I guess I ''would'' expect common sense to take over where law is non-existent...oh, well.

| |
| − | they look pretty cool. Certainly airsoft guns look a lot NEWER and CLEANER than the real ones I handle every day. But I'm not into airsoft. In fact a lot of the real hardcore live firearms guys aren't that into Airsoft. I have NEVER fired an airsoft gun, ever, but we have used airsoft guns as non firing props or stand ins for live guns on set. So I've handled quite a few of them. Hopefully you can tell that my pics are of real guns, not airsoft guns. :) Airsoft is a great alternative to live guns when we don't want to hand the actors live steel. Other than that, I have never had any interest in the airsoft gaming activities. I find it funny when I run into young guys who only know the AIRSOFT names of rifles, rather than the real names of the real guns. (like the proprietary King or G&G or Classic Army guns, which approximate real world guns). Also, airsoft has the advantage of NOT rusting in wet weather. I have to go check the vaults all the time during winter time to make sure the temp control and humidity is okay. I just ran into a rack of rusting M1 Garands. best regards.

I've only been to one game, and even then I had to borrow a gun from one of the other guys (an ICS M4A1, which I must admit was a pretty sweet AEG, had a metal reciever, barrel, & front sight and even stripped like the real thing). I sadly can't afford any airsoft guns of my own (to say nothing of the real weapons they imitate!), but have a laundry list of airsoft stuff I'd like to get if I did have the money. Hit me up on AIM, MSN, or YIM sometime and we can chat some more about it. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 10:55, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

| − | I like airsoft guns to mess around with but I can't afford any of the heavy duty stuff you serious players use. I've played a few games with my friends on my property (130 acres of fun) but only have spring and replacable battery guns. Basically I buy airsoft guns resembling guns I can't buy in the real steel like assault rifles. My most expensive gun is a metal Marui copy of an AK-47, costed $80 on eBay. So while airsoft is fun, I don't have the gear to play it properly and really prefer real shooting to airsoft. (plus airsoft guns break a little too easy.) - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

My collection includes a Tokyo Marui "MP5A5" (what TM calls the MP5A5 is actually an MP5A3 with Navy trigger group in "real steel"), M16A2, a Western Arms Beretta 92F, and a really cheap CO2 Micro Uzi (can't remember who makes/made it). I used to own a springer Mark 23 (also TM) that got smashed to hell when I dropped it down a flight of stairs when I was 16. However, I've only skirmished a few times in my life, don't own any gear besides the guns/mags, and generally don't care much about the game itself. I mostly just bought the guns because at the time, that was as close as I could get to the real thing without going through my parents, and they refused to let me buy "tacticool" weapons. Now that I am legally old enough to own/buy real guns, those are taking up more of my time/money.

| |
| − | You may have noticed I've been adding shots from the new season for [[Flashpoint]], but there are three shots I've really wanted that I can't grab. One is a shot of Ed Lane with a Remington 700PSS from the first episode (I no longer have access to that one, and he is the main sniper, he should have a picture.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other two shots were from the episode when the robber holds up the bank with a Beretta. Before I realized my computer had a free capping ability, I ran out of my session and only nabbed one shot of the Beretta. There was a good shot were he charges the police before being shot and I couldn't grab it. There were a few other good shots I could have used of his Beretta. The other shot was in the same episode when Sam Braddock is aiming his Remington PSS. There is a great sideshot of him aiming it and plus there is a shot were you see his bolt is open even though he is shooting someone.

Just a note, most of the real world armorers don't like listing Video games since we're completely out of the equation and no real world gun exists. Also the VG designers seem to delight to putting in artistic renditions of the most obscure and recent FOREIGN guns which have never and will never appear in a movie (like the Russian weapons) since no armory, here or abroad has those weapons in inventory. I was looking at some of the weapons (not obvious ones like the WW2 ones which are clear what they are supposed to be) but some of the more 'tactical' custom jobs. WTF? Like the so called Winchester 1200 shotgun in [[Modern Warfare 2]]. The 'real' gun pic, that's no Winchester 1200, and the photo is of a Winchester 1300 Stainless Marine with ATI Stocks. The 1200s are no longer made. And yet someone figured it was a 1200 based on a hard to see video graphic. Anyway, VG bug the hell out of me, but it's not cut and dry.

| − | Well some games can be forgiven to be a little bit lack of detail, but quite a few games do go out, record the sound of the real gun shots and use those in the final production, the bigger problem most gamers has with VG guns is more on their accuracy and power compared to the real thing. VG developers sometimes significantly just make guns that would be powerful and accurate as hell weak as fuck for the sake of game balance. And going with Modern Warfare 2, some of the guns are just stupid for what real world special forces would use. I mean the Bushmaster ACR? I can see how it has military uses, but I don't even think it was even considered for military use. Russian Ultranationalist using AUGs and FAMAS? Spas 12s? Oh yeah and the one big thing a Kriss Super V. That thing last I heard wasn't even in full production yet and they somehow have Russian terrorists get ahold of one? At least with COD4, they were semi consistent with what primary guns people use, the SAS and Marines using M4 weapons, the enemy using AKs, but the random USPs, Berettas and the one mission where you as the SAS trooper holding and M24 sniper rifle was just piss poor.

| − | Come on! You gotta admit, It's freaking hilarious! I assume the person who wrote that saw the 'recent changes' log and saw that you deleted four non-live action pages in rapid order. Don't take it personally. :) I was laughing so hard I spit my coke on the board! I mean, people talk about US and the stuff WE do on other forums. It's funny. At least I was very amused by it. Just don't let the nickname 'Puppet killer' stick! hahahahaha! Sorry again, I'm having too much fun with this. ;) Forgive me. :) Personally I was glad you finally 'snapped' and deleted those STUPID animated pages. It really pushed the envelope of what IMFDB is all about. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 04:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

| − | ==Template==
| |
| − | To the mods: Though my own preference is strongly towards chronological order, I can accede to the wishes of the majority. I do like the format of Title First, before actor. Please note all, in the [[Steyr AUG]] page that the title, then character, then actor template, dovetails nicely into the other genres (television) but also Anime and Video games. Since there is no Character in some and no Actor in Anime or Videgame, I think this order maintains the same look from Film all the way down to VG. Thanks and please look at the page to see what I was referring to. Thanks again and I look forward to your input on this matter.

| − | You'd be surprised, I actually don't like most people in my age group because in my town they're all a bunch of dumbasses. My town is a strange one, 30% of kids are sheep-fucking hicks, 30% of kids are lazy potheads who get in trouble with the cops often, and then I make up some of the 10% of ''normal'' people, although people know I like guns so somehow, ''I'm'' the wierd one. Anyway, I prefer to hang out with people who are older (from 18 to 50+) and know how to have fun, but aren't idiots at all time. So, in a way, I do bash my own age group. Just clearing that up. ;) BTW, check out ''[[Face/Off]'' so far, I'm not done yet but I'm trying to finish it. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

| |
| − | | |
| − | Hi, I was just wondering why you deleted the entry for the alien weapon in District 9, since fictional weapons are allowed to be listed if they play particularly important roles in the movie (and the weapon definitely is important if it is being used by a main character). [[User:Markit|Markit]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Direct me to where it saids fictional weapons are allowed. I mean if the weapon is a plastic shell over a real gun, but I have yet to see any indication of us allowing weapons that don't exist. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 00:11, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm trying to promote the website and it's embarrassing to see actors getting insulted for pretty trivial reasons. What are your thoughts regarding this?

| − | | |
| − | '''I'm asking all members to stop with the sarcastic comments in the screencap descriptions'''
| |
| − | Too many members feel it's funny to be extremely sarcastic about actor's shooting stance, their blinking, their pistol grips. Only if it's so over the top as for the average person to notice, then don't keep on harping on it. Most actors are given only a bare amount of time to train, if at all. Many times the editor picks the worst take for pistol grip, but best take for other reasons like acting. Also much of the blame falls on the director. Some directors don't want to be bothered trying to train the actors and don't allow us armorers to even give them more training than the minimum safety training. People in the industry check out this website, and some think we're a bunch of obnoxious kids. I am not happy when people in 'the biz' look at the site and scoff at the snarky remarks. Some of them are the actual actors being insulted. We can always put in criticism, but IMFDB members going forward going to criticize a film, should try to do so in a scholarly manner or not at all.
