I think the number of pages on this wiki that feature media based on the works involving guns has already passed the level of "critical mass" necessary to justify a category for this late author's works. We already have creator-centric categories now for authors, like Tom Clancy--I'm sure Philip K. Dick should get one just for his works now, given that we have pages for [[Blade Runner]], [[Paycheck]], [[Minority Report]], both Total Recall movies, etc. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 10:50, 15 August 2012 (CDT) | I think the number of pages on this wiki that feature media based on the works involving guns has already passed the level of "critical mass" necessary to justify a category for this late author's works.

Wait, what? Why?--PistolJunkie 02:00, 2 April 2012 (CDT)
That's a P220 Sport, not a 226. There are no double stack bulges on the frame. GLOCK10mil 07:15, 2 April 2012 (CDT)
Looks like Farrell is holding a old model Beretta Cheetah on the poster. --bozitojugg3rn4ut 14:43, 3 April 2012 (CDT)
- I think it is a slightly dressed up Beretta 92FS with a compensator. If nothing else it looks way too big to me to be a Cheetah, and if you brighten the hell out of the poster (have uploaded a bigger version but won't have updated yet so see here for source) you can just about make out the frame mounted safety as well as the 92 style grips. --commando552 15:09, 3 April 2012 (CDT)
- Yeah, definitely a 92FS. That weird trigger guard resembling the old 80 series got me confused. --bozitojugg3rn4ut 15:40, 3 April 2012 (CDT)

Time for a Philip K. Dick category?
I think the number of pages on this wiki that feature media based on the works involving guns has already passed the level of "critical mass" necessary to justify a category for this late author's works.
