Japanese Paratroopers

Yes the Japanese had paratroopers in WWII. Here is a link to Wikipedia. should at least satisfy you curiosity. As far as the suppressor goes in Dirty Harry. I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's just a prop. Something mocked up for the movie for visual effect. Welcome to imfdb.--Jcordell 17:43, 27 December 2011 (CST)

Thanks Jcordell. I'm finding it very good for things like research. Also, I can impress my friends and family with gun knowledge thanks to it. Like I was watching Shooter with my dad, and during the opening section, I just randomly said "That's an M40A5 there, Dad." He seemed impressed at first, but now he says it's a little weird. Is 13 too young to be a gun enthusiast? Lots of people keep telling me guns kill. They don't, do they? Surely humans make guns, and humans kill using them. On their own, guns are just lumps of metal, and if used correctly, provide security, peace and pleasure. Come on, back me up here guys. Anyway, I look forward to contributing to IMFDB pages.
