'''''Firearms: Source''''' is a multiplayer first-person shooter modification for ''[[Half-Life 2]]'', and a direct sequel to the GoldSrc mod for ''[[Half-Life]]'', ''Firearms''. ''Firearms: Source'' strives for a realistic depiction of real-life firearms in their operation and details.

The mod went into significant management issues later in its development, and was never completed. The final version of the mod that was publicly and officially released by the dev team is version 2.0.2. The mod was formerly featured on Steam, but can no longer be found. The mod also originally had its own official website (<nowiki>http://www.firearms-source.com/</nowiki>), which included additional info and images of weapons, but the website had also shut down.

''Firearms: Source'' is a multiplayer first-person shooter. Players' choose a loadout upon spawn, the size of which is limited by the player's limited amount of credits. Weapons can be modified with attachments, which also cost credits. One of the player's skills increases reload speed by 25%, which often changes the weapons' reload animation to a new faster one (though this is not always the case; several weapons merely have their normal reload animations sped up).

In-game, ammunition is tracked by magazines; partially reloading a weapon will make the player store the partially spent magazine for later use. Weapon chambering is tracked, so inserting a fresh magazine in a weapon already chambered will grant the player one additional round, in the weapons that allow this. Finally, bleeding wounds must be bandaged to stop health loss.

The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] is the only revolver in ''Firearms: Source''. It has a 5-round cylinder and is chambered in .454 Casull. The revolver's ammunition is tracked by single rounds rather than magazines.

The Raging Bull has a set of extremely elaborate reload animations; there are five different reload animations, one for each capacity the revolver was at when the reload begins. All reload animations are done with single rounds, and show the player character ejecting a number of rounds that need to be replaced and inserting new ones. When the player does not have enough ammo to make a full reload, the reload with the number of rounds the player has in reserve will play (i.e. reload an empty cylinder with 4 rounds in reserve will play the 4-round reload animation). Reloads with the reload speed increase perk are simply normal reloads sped up.

The [[Benelli M3 Super 90]] appears in FA:S with a two tone color combination of a tan barrel and receiver with a black synthetic pistol gripped stock and synthetic fore-grip as well a side saddle shell holder. It is correctly depicted as a semi-automatic shotgun and holds 7 (+1) shells of 12 gauge 00 Buckshot. It costs 38 credits and is referred to as "M3-S90" ingame. The shotgun has a (currently useless) Picatinny rail above the main body. The reloading animation is somewhat complex, as the player loads the first round directly through the ejection port if the weapon is empty, and the last 7 rounds are inserted one by one.

The [[Remington 870]] was added in the 1.0e patch. The model was based off the Express Magnum variant with an extended magazine tube that holds 6 + 1 shells. The shotgun is pump-action only, firing a new round when the mouse button is depressed, and ejecting it and chambering another when it is released. It costs 32 credits and is named "R870".

=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.

The [[MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A4|MP5A4]] is a good submachine gun costing 24 credits, though it lacks the Picatinny-mounted ACOG seen in previous versions. The magazines hold 30 (+1) rounds of 9mm Parabellum and it offers either semi-auto, 3-round burst or full-auto firing modes. Referred to as "MP5-A4" ingame. In version 2.0, the MP5 is changed to the MP5A5 with a collapisble stock, fitted a Suppressor changes the weapon into the MP5SD6 and plans have been in the works for an MP5/40.

The [[MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] is featured in FA:S as a cheap submachine gun (20 credits). It carries 32 rounds of .380 ACP and fires semi or full-auto. Named "MAC-11". It correctly fires from the the opened-bolt position. In the version 2.0 Update, the MAC-11 will be placed inside the "PDW" class of weapons due to it's small size and caliber.

=Assault Rifles=
 
 
 
==AK-47==
 
 
 
A powerful weapon firing the good, old 7.62x39mm. The [[AK-47]] (named the same way ingame) costs 40 credits and is a good choice for medium to long-range combat, due to its stopping power. The magazines hold 30 (+1) rounds and semi or full-auto modes can be selected. Also, the rifle is fitted with a bayonet that can be used to stab enemy combatants, through the Weapon Melee command key. Weapon in game is a hybrid and has a AK smooth dustcover and a AKM stamped receiver.

==FAMAS F1/G2 Hybrid==
 
 
 
Very appreciated by the FA expert players, the [[FAMAS]] provides a very high rate of fire for 42 credits. The main drawback is that the magazines hold only 25 (+1) rounds of 5.56x45mm ammunition and it has a high rate of fire, so it will empty magazines in no time. It's named "FA-MAS" ingame and offers semi-auto, 3-round burst or full-auto firing modes. Interestingly, the trigger guard is is that of a F1, but the handguard, magazine-well, and 30-round STANAG mag (though as stated above, it still holds 25 rounds) is from the more modern G2.

==H&K G36C==
 
 
 
The compact version of the [[G36C|G36]] is not a bad option, costing 36 credits. It possesses medium stopping power, but has a useful AimPoint red-dot sight mounted to the Picatinny rail on the carrying handle. It's got options for semi-auto, an incorrect 2-round (even when the markings indicate 3) burst or full-auto firing modes. Referred to as "G36C".

==Colt M16A2==
 
 
 
Another classic weapon from FA that couldn't miss the show. The [[M16A2]] costs 36 credits and offers good accuracy and decent power, in either semi-auto or 3-round burst modes. Magazines are standard NATO 30 (+1) rounds, and the weapon is named "M16-A2" in the menus.

==Colt M4A1==
 
 
 
Besides the 3-round burst being replaced by a full-auto firing mode, the [[M4A1]] shares many properties with the M16A2, including the 30 (+1)-round mags, and costs the same (36 credits). There's nothing especially good or bad to say about it. It's named "M4-A1", and its default handguard was replaced by a KAC RAS railed handguard, that allowed the player to install a vertical grip to assist the aiming and firing.

==SAKO Rk 95==
 
 
 
This Finnish version of the AK-47 assault rifle is very similar in behaviour to the aforementioned, as it fires the same ammo, and even looks like it. But the cost is a bit higher (42 credits versus 40). Anyway, it's a good choice that can fire 30 (+1) deadly rounds of 7.62x39mm in semi or full-auto. The name ingame is "Sako 95" and, as with the M4A1, a railed handguard with 3 sets of Picatinny rails (below and to the sides) was installed to allow the use of a vertical grip.

==SIG SG 551==
 
 
 
While not having any long-range sight, this [[SIG SG 550|Swiss rifle]] is capable of hitting enemies at a good distance. It uses magazines of 30 (+1) rounds and lets you shoot in semi or full-auto. It costs 36 credits (same league as the M4A1 and M16A2) and is named "SG550".

==H&K G3A3==
 
 
 
40 credits does this steel and plastic piece of art cost. The [[G3A3]]'s 20 (+1) rounds of 7.62x51mm ammunition pack quite a heavy punch. Named just "G3A3". There seems to be some kind of glitch with the 3D ingame model, as the parts that compose it move independently if looked at carefully.

==SA M14==
 
 
 
No game made by firearms enthusiasts could leave this weapon out. The [[M14]] has the same powerful punch and mag capacity (20 + 1 rounds) of the G3A3, just the full-auto mode is not only a bit slower, but more uncontrollable. Be sure to stick with the semi-auto mode and make every bullet count. It appears to feature a Crye Precision Multicam woodland camo finish on the stock and no optical sight like in the GoldSrc version. It costs 36 credits and is named "M14".

==Remington M24 SWS==
 
 
 
The [[Remington Model 700#M24 Sniper Rifle|Remington M24 Sniper Weapon System]] (SWS) is the U.S. Army version of the Model 700. It is an accurate, bolt-action, long-range sniper rifle. It is depicted in FA:S with woodland camo and a folding bipod, to make the gun more stable, that can be used if you prone or move near some places (like barrels, sandbags or... corpses). The cost is a high 54 credits and is referred to as "M24". The official website lists it as a M24A2, but this is erroneous, as no detachable external 10-round magazine is seen. Instead, the rifle uses an internal 5-round magazine.

==KAC SR-25==
 
 
 
The [[SR-25]] is a multi-purpose sniper rifle that is able to fire semi-auto, It looks similar to a M16 (in fact, many parts are interchangeable between both), but fires the completely different 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge. It costs 48 credits, has a 10 (+1)-round magazine and is named just "SR25". The tan paint remembers that of the [[SR-25|M110 SASS]]. It comes with a folding bipod (as with the other two sniper rifles), and an useful suppressor that reduces the firing report a bit.

Slated to be released in the Version 2.0 Update. In early beta footage it shows with a 10 round magazine despite a 20 round magazine being shown (though it has been confirmed that this was done for balance reasons) and is seen using an olive drab finish, similar to that of an M14 DMR.

==Barrett M82A1==
 
 
 
This 70-credit beast is the most expensive weapon in FA:S's arsenal, no doubt why. The "[[Barrett M82A1|light fifty]]" can deliver an instant and gruesome death to anyone being so unfortunate as to be shot by this. The 10 (+1)-round magazine can maim equal number of foes, provided that the player is able to handle the enormous kickback of this long-range rifle. It fires semi-auto and is called "M82A1" ingame. It's the only weapon whose sight offers two different levels of zoom, and it's got a folding bipod, too.

The heat shield tells us this is the improved, E2 version of the [[FN Minimi#M249-E1 / M249-E2 / M249 Paratrooper SAW|SAW]]. The 200-round detachable box and the bipod makes this 50-credit machine gun perfect for covering fire. Of course, continuous fire while standing or running will get you nowhere. Called "M249 SAW" ingame, fires full-auto only. The Picatinny rail on the feeding-tray cover is never used.

==Vollmer HK51-B==
 
The [[Heckler_%26_Koch_G3#Vollmer_HK51-B|Vollmer HK51-B]].
 
According to the official website, this weapon is "a standard HK51, but with a converted upper receiver that can accept belts of 7.62x51mm NATO. Such power compacted into the size of what essentially amounts to an MP5 frame results in terrible kick and poor accuracy". Little else is there to say. Ever tried to tame a horse in the middle of a firefight? Oh, an HK51 is a cut down and modified G3, NOT made officially by H&K. The weapon is referred to as the "MC51B Vollmer" ingame and costs 44 credits. Contrary to the other machine guns, a semi-auto firing mode is available. It loads from HK21 machinegun boxes running German DM1 Continuous Belts, though only has a capacity of 50 rounds as opposed to the HK21's 100. The HK51-B is also designed to use the [[M60]]'s M13 disintegrating link belts instead. Nonetheless, the animation for reloading the gun is well done, as shown below.

Once again, another classic. The [[M79 grenade launcher|M79]] single-shot, break-top, grenade launcher grants you average power when dealing with groups of opponents. The 40mm High Explosive grenades need to travel a minimum distance before arming themselves, to avoid misusage. It costs 45 credits and is named "M79" ingame.

==M67 Grenade==
 
 
 
There is no much to say about FA:S's [[M67]] hand grenade. You can get a couple of these for just 6 credits, but due to a recent patch its destructive power is not as high as it should be in real life, because throwing one and stepping onto it as it explodes will only take away less than the 70% of your life. Referred to as "M67 Frag Grenade" ingame.

==M18A1 Claymore==
 
 
 
The [[M18A1 Claymore]], a remotely-detonated, directional, anti-personnel explosive device that can be used for setting some good ambushes. It costs 13 credits as is named plainly "Claymore" ingame. There are a couple of ways to control how it goes off. The first one is just to wait near the spot and hit the clicker when an enemy comes in front of it. The second one is the trip mode, in which the Claymore will be detonated when someone walks over it. By crouching or going prone, you can pass through the mine with out detonation.

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
 
 
 
The [[M18 Smoke Grenade]] is a good way of covering your advance, and an excellent countermeasure against snipers, you can get two M18 Smoke Grenades for 6 credits. They produce a thick, green smoke screen for some seconds. Use them wisely.

==M84 Stun Grenade==
 
 
 
Where there is a smoke grenade, there is a "[[M84 stun grenade|Flashbang]]". It even costs the same (6 credits). Throwing one will produce a blinding flash and a deafening sound that will render enemies defenceless for some seconds, enough to finish them. Just be careful not to look towards it as it goes off.

=Emplaced Weapons=
 
==M224 Mortar==
 
 
 
The [[M224 Mortar]] does not appear in the loadout screen, as it is issued (unassembled) to the player when he or she earns the "Level 2 Artillery" skill. Then, the player will be able to assemble it anyplace, and fire to designated targets (see [http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Firearms:_Source#Artillery_Marker "Artillery Marker"]). The player can carry up to 5 mortar shells.

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.

Manual of Style

Visual Editor

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.
