Nothing But Trouble

I redid a few of the screencaps. There's a few I missed on the first go around. The PPK, etc. So I'll get them later. --Predator20 00:31, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I think I got them all. I got a bunch of DVDs that don't have pages. But it takes a lot of time taking the caps, uploading and writing the text. It was easy doing what I just did, since most of the hard work was already done by you. --Predator20 01:08, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

- So I do the work and you take the glory. Bah, just kiddin, man, I really appreciate the help.

I try to do that as much as I can. :) --Predator20 02:15, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

- Well, it helps make the page look loads better so that's good. I guess it helps when you have a DVD collection as big as yours.

Thanks. The credit wasn't necessary. Most try to help out other members when they can. --Predator20 02:38, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

- Ah, still deserved. I figured it's pretty good community around here anyway, but I like giving credit where it's due. And your pics helped the page a bunch. You'll notice I edited a lot of the text too. Mainly in regards to spoilers and such. I'd like to not have any issues, or very few if any, heh.

I had already took that snap of the one I just uploaded yesterday and was already planning on putting it on the site when you sent the message. But it looks like they switch holsters so it doesn't really add anything. If it looks like there are any other scenes that help identify them let me know. --Predator20 04:19, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Personal Weapons

I'd like to eventually get an AR15, M1A, and maybe an IMI Galil ARM (.308) maybe an AR180 too. I got a S&W 4505, Beretta 92FS Inox and another Hi-Power too. Just haven't updated my page. A Ruger SP101 is next on my list. My revolver collection is pathetic. --Predator20 02:15, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

- Good choices there too.

Eyes closed

A few months ago the administrators passed a note around to the main users of the site; about not commenting on actors firing with their eyes closed, crappy grip etc. So I removed the text on the NBT page when she fires the Mini-14. Here is the message below. --Predator20 03:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm asking all members to stop with the sarcastic comments in the screencap descriptions: Too many members feel it's funny to be extremely sarcastic about actor's shooting stance, their blinking, their pistol grips. Only if it's so over the top as for the average person to notice, then don't keep on harping on it. Most actors are given only a bare amount of time to train, if at all. Many times the editor picks the worst take for pistol grip, but best take for other reasons like acting. Also much of the blame falls on the director. Some directors don't want to be bothered trying to train the actors and don't allow us armorers to even give them more training than the minimum safety training. People in the industry check out this website, and some think we're a bunch of obnoxious kids. I am not happy when people in 'the biz' look at the site and scoff at the snarky remarks. Some of them are the actual actors being insulted. We can always put in criticism, but IMFDB members going forward going to criticize a film, should try to do so in a scholarly manner or not at all. Thanks for your cooperation MoviePropMaster2008 05:45, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

• - Ah, well, I was just stating an observation. I've seen it done quite a bit so I didn't really think much of it. The point regarding the actors' sensibilities I normally wouldn't care about, but it is a valid point, and as MPM said, in a lot of cases they aren't expert shooters, so I agree it's fair to cut 'em some slack. Anyway, thanks for the edit and for bringing me up to speed on that. If it's a problem then I'll not do it - Like most people, I'm always all for things going smoothly.

Re: Re: Nothing but trouble

Thanks for the special mentioning, no problem. It's nice to see new users on this site and occasionally help them out. By the way; great work on your first page! Glad I could help by bringing some thoughts on the table. Not a long time ago, I was a new user myself (and kind of still am) and the pros helped me. Just paying it forward :D Warejaws 22:30 March 10, 2010 (UTC)

- Not a problem, like I said to Predator above, I give credit where it's due. Thanks for the help and for the kudos on my first (and probably only) page.

Politics

Don't worry. I let everyone let loose their steam (including myself. And then after a few days delete the whole thing. But to keep folks from at least venting or speaking their mind is actually a bad precedent. KEEPING it, for more than a day or so, is dumb of course, so we will sterilize the site later. :) MoviePropMaster2008 04:53, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

RE:Stan's wacko watch

I'll talk to him. Usually he puts the extra images on the talk pages, which is something I started up because of that. --Predator20 00:33, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Re:vandal- Got him thanks. --Predator20 16:58, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

re:another user- I think maybe a two week ban. Some discussions were old, but it's not his job to remove them.--Predator20 18:38, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah it was fun redoing all the shit that guy pulled this morning, and one just a few minutes ago decided to blank the Hulk page.--Predator20 18:36, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Total Recall

Yeah I've read it, I don't think we're in the wrong. I think Goncz just doesn't want his name associated with Claridge, which means we're going to have to do something about this page. --Predator20 18:36, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Actor pages

You should always do a search of the actors name to see if their names might come up on other movie pages before building them a page. Like Stuart Wilson was in Hot Fuzz and used a Winchester 1300. But anyway keep up the good work. --Predator20 21:39, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Ultraviolet

Actually you should not remove those (except for the movie links which someone should). Each main movie page is allowed to have 'some' non firearms entries just for the sake of completion. You should NOT remove non firearms weapons, especially if they have obvious screen time. As long as the primary focus of the page is on Firearms, a few edged weapons is okay. If that were the case, we would have to update literally DOZENS of pages. MoviePropMaster2008 00:35, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm blushing

Thanks. I strive to be level not only in my work but in everything. I'm 42 and I'm too old for all the high intensity emotions that I used to enjoy. Plus keeping people calm helps me get my job done. But there are times when I have to be an asshole. Believe me when I tell you there are people (that i deal with) who don't understand anything else. The first time you get sucker-punched by somebody that you are trying to be fair with teaches you. I had a scrawny little 90 pound psychotic whacked out of her mind on Meth center punch me with her bony little fist and break my glasses when I was a rookie. Then she tried to get hold of a big old cutting knife. She didn't get it. Instead she went to the state mental hospital. Boy was that a hell of a lesson.

I'm not telling you this story to impress you (if that was the case she would be a 300lb man and a serial killer LOL), but just to show that sometimes cops have to be able to find their "Inner Asshole" instead of their inner child. I'm not excusing bad cops and I have worked with a few over the years. If it makes you feel any better they treat their fellow officers pretty badly as well. Just that sometimes there is a reason why we do the things we do. Truth be told there have been times in the past when I've been a jerk because the people scared/startled me. Yep scared me. In those cases once the guns have been reholstered and everybody has calmed down most people will listen and accept the fact that their behavior helped to contribute to my reaction.

Anyway thanks for the compliment. --Jcordell 16:54, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh and S&W revolvers are great. My last posting when I was in the U.S. Army was Fort Drum, New York. Springfield, Mass was about four hours away. In the summer of 99 I took my dad on the tour of the S&W factory.It's one of the highlights of my life. Right up there with my wedding day and my kids being born.LOL. --Jcordell 16:57, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

DO NOT REMOVE any more guns from pages

Though you may not be the one who did this, the Glock 20 was removed from the Glock page. Well, guess what? There is now an entry for it and we can't find the Glock 20. I was perplexed and got more pics of a Glock 20 until I realized that someone had removed the Glock 20 entry from the GLOCK page. The reason why we have it is so that we don't have to re-create it when an entry comes up. If you are the one who removed the Glock 20 from the Glock page, don't do it again. If you are not the person who did, which ones did you remove? Either way, that practice has to stop now. MoviePropMaster2008 15:29, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
