It's been several months now since the new rules that points out no fictional guns unless they were built from real world guns. Yes, all these guns do look awesome in the Anime they were featured in, but I think it's time to face the fact that they are not real world guns and should be deleted from the site [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 18:54, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
  
While they are not built around live-fire weapons, they are built around 1:1 scale replicas (usually airsoft, but occasionally around good-old-fashioned models) of real firearms. Not all fictional weapons listed are built around real guns (the [[(Constantine) - Holy Shotgun|Holy Shotgun]] and the [[(Eraser) - EM-1 Railgun|EM-1]] come to mind), and some were originally seen only in animated works, and any real-word models came about after the fact (I'm looking at you, [[(Hellsing) - Hellsing Arms .454 Casull|Hellsing]] [[(Hellsing) - Jackal|Arms]]).

:Normally, I'd agree, but one of them was used as a prop gun in a legitimate live action production.

Not really. This site isn't about mock guns. I've been very adamant on the fact that if it is fictional, it shouldn't be here.

:Once again, special mention goes to the CZN-M22 and the C26A.
 
  
The only real difference between these weapons and the other fictional weapons that have their own page is that this page lists more than one gun for the sake of simplicity. I will also be making a page for New Dominion Tank Police soon, which features several Seburo weapons (at least MN-23 and M10 so far) along side TMPs, MAC-11s and M1911s.

Latest revision as of 19:48, 30 April 2015

What's the point of this?

I mean, I've seen these fictional weapons in manga and anime, but they don't hold much merit since they are indeed not real. Though they might be based on some real world design, it isn't like any of them are futuristic dress up versions of firearms we know, just "what if" evolutions of firearms. Excalibur01 04:56, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I've seen them in TV shows... Do you just hate animation?

I wouldn't have made several anime pages if I HATE animation. I just think that these Seburo guns don't belong here. Excalibur01 08:18, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I DON'T think animation belongs, but these props have shown up in live action shows. A few of them were in Battlestar Galactica. --funkychinaman 23:18, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
let's delete this page. --AdAstra2009 22:42, 7 September 2010 (UTC

On what grounds? No rules are being broken here, as stated before, these fictional firearms are used in multiple shows, both live action and anime, and if I recall, IMFDB has an ENTIRE index of fictional firearms. -- K 98.118.59.151 23:20, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Alot of them are just a shell around a real gun.--FIVETWOSEVEN 23:23, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

If they're from Japan, I highly doubt it's built around a real gun. --funkychinaman 23:39, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

It's been several months now since the new rules that points out no fictional guns unless they were built from real world guns. Yes, all these guns do look awesome in the Anime they were featured in, but I think it's time to face the fact that they are not real world guns and should be deleted from the site Excalibur01 18:54, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Normally, I'd agree, but one of them was used as a prop gun in a legitimate live action production. If someone used a replica of a Halo Battle Rifle or Assault Rifle as a prop gun in a legit live action production, I'd argue for the same thing. Ultimately, isn't the point of this site prop guns? --funkychinaman 03:34, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
