- Heh, I was actually in the middle of doing that. Thanks, though.

How do?

You can just call me Stan. I'm just a recently joined member.

About Me - General

I'm a 22 year old that lives near Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. I don't have any MySpace page or anything like that, I don't have patience or time enough for that kind of thing. I do have a YouTube channel (though no videos of my own to post, like this site and others, I mainly just look and browse). I do post quite a bit on the MessageBoard of the RoboCop Archive, where I've been around for several years now. If you're absolutely dying for some more details about me (And I really hope you aren't :P), you can go there.

About Me - Movies

I like a great number of movies and and enjoy a fairly wide variety of films, though Action, Sci-Fi, and War will probably be the biggest categories of films I watch. I'm an immense fan of the RoboCop franchise (As evidenced by the fact I post on it's biggest site), of which the original film RoboCop has been my all-time most favorite film for a long time now. As a big fan, I also like most of the other media as well, that is the film sequels (or at least, the second film, the third, not quite so much), as well the old TV series, comics, etc.

Other than that, again, I enjoy, like, and even love a fair number of films, not just single films, but often most if not whole film franchises. Basically enough to where I couldn't narrow it down to top 10 list.

But to have some kind of abridged list, For film franchises I really like - RoboCop (duh) Terminator (The original T1 most) Star Wars (Mainly Empire and ROTJ) Indiana Jones (Raiders best for me, but I like 'em all) Predator & Predator II, Alien Quadrilogy, Dirty Harry series, Ghostbusters I & II, as well as the Band Of Brothers series

And for individual films - Patton, Full Metal Jacket, Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, We Were Soldiers, Total Recall, Sin City, Enemy At The Gates, Men At Work, Last Action Hero, '89 Batman, V for Vendetta, Spaceballs,

.. And that's just to name a good few that immediately come to mind. I might post some more later, but don't count on it, this is already a decent list as it is, I'd say.

About Me - Guns and This Site

I've always been into guns. Not just by themselves, but also as a big part of my fascination for the U.S. Military, and their related vehicles and equipment (and as such, a lot of their weapons, both vehicle-mounted and small-arms). As we know, we see a lot of weapons (including military weapons) on movies and TV shows, so this site acts as a great resource for that. Weapons used by the U.S. Armed Forces are represented on screen quite a bit, and this site has a fair bit of info posted about them, not to mention tons of nice, high-quality pictures. Not to mention as a guy who watches some Sci-Fi stuff, it's nice to read up on background on some of the prop weapons. It even makes me more knowledgeable about regular action films themselves, as in a lot of those films the guns are fairly big (and for me, interesting) parts of the movies.

As such, I found my way here, and have come here on a somewhat regular basis since. I've found this site to be very informative and educational, not just on the weapons, but their history and background, and even found some good trivia and insights on some films regarding their weapons. I've come to this site quite a good bit already (give or take a year now). I mainly looked and browsed anonymously. The main reason I joined up was to post up a page for a movie I like and watched recently (but surprisingly, didn't see here on the site), so there ya go. Otherwise I've only edited/added a couple things here and there. Overall, as a gun lover, I've found this site to be highly informative and fairly enjoyable.

I unfortunately, do not own any actual weapons of my own. My financial state has not yet afforded me to do so. I certainly hope and intend to own a couple at some point, though.

My Dream guns

These are my 'wish list' weapons - Guns I would love to have in actuality. Some I might actually try to obtain, while others are much more of a 'not impossible, but highly unlikely'. Still, one can dream, and that's what I'm gonna do.

Will edit this section later.

Other

First (And probably only) page I've done - Nothing But Trouble

I recently edited this part of the Forrest Gump page.

And this section of the RoboCop 2 page.
