Talk:Iron Man

This pics are just place holders until better shots of the weapons can be found. Thanks (MPM2008)

Just a question

Why there's nothing about Iron Man and Iron Monger's own, armor-mounted arsenals ? Iron Man used flight stablizers as his primary firearm through the film and also he used rocket launchers, mounted on his shoulders in RoboCop style scene. There was also custom flamethrower on his very first armor. I forget, what was actually used by Iron Monger, but something was mounted on it's armor, i remember. --Kloga 08:32, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Name

We should refer to them by their actual name - the Ten Rings, not as "Taliban". Even though the Ten Rings is obviously supposed to be a Taliban-like jihadist group, they're still not the Taliban proper.

Wrong! the ten rings is a fictional chinese founded ultra rationaist group, they take their names from the iron man villain the mandarin who weilds the ten rings of power, this name is a tip of the hat to an enemy we may see by the 3rd movie - captain snikt

Trailer Picture

It says that the guy's sleeve is in the way of the M4 Carbine's pistol grip, but to me it just looks as if the M4 was photoshopped out of the pic, then superimposed back on it, pointing away from Stark's head. Note the position of the owner's hands and how his finger seems to be wrapped around a trigger where there is no trigger. Just pointing out. Spartan198 08:50, 7 March 2009 (UTC) Spartan198

tank

The tank that stark trashes when he goes back to Afghanistan in armor seems like and Abrams(likely produced by stark in the film universe) , but its unclear to me how is Stane supposed to smuggle tanks to Afghanistan without anyone noticing, guns are of course easy I mean couple of boxes of rockets and firearms are pretty much easy, but tanks he would have to requisition a cargo plane and that would probably come up in reports and the board would notice it

Dude, that's not an Abrahms, it's a Chieftain tank. The flat secondary fuel tanks on the rear skirts is the tip off plus it sits too high to be an Abrahms. The Brits sold their Chieftain tanks to Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait and Oman. They're all over the Middle East. MoviePropMaster2008 23:18, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

thanks for the explain I don't really know much about tanks

M4A1 / general writing style

On the pic where RDjr. fires a rifle, from the deletet scenes:

What the heck is with you guys and the expression "for some reason... (...he uses the magazine housing instead of the foregrip to steady his aim.)"? First, there is a reason. Tony Stark (previous to his capture) used to build weapons, not fire them and furthermore it may well be assumed that Obediah was in charge, as Tony prefers to drink and party hard than work from 9 to 4. But what is far more important: If you dont have a clue, don't let the reader know it! Just leave it out! For good! - Wade Wilson

Sorry, that old writing from a member who was known for capping on actors's stances, but when IMFDB started actively discouraging our members from writing sarcastic comments, everyone pretty much moderated their tone. Don't worry about that type of comment. Usually when we find it, now we reword it to not sound like we are insulting the actor :) MoviePropMaster2008 02:03, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Wade Wison - heh, thats should be in a yellow caption box, no? - capain snikt

In CQC and alot of tactical training involves holding tightly on the mag well...so there really is a reason he does that...because thats the way a real combative would do it, and you would defently do it if your stock was all the way forward like in the picture. -Spades of Columbia
