Can't be a Glock

What part of this gun even remotely LOOKS like a Glock? I just stumbled on this page and looked. How is this in anyway resemble a Glock? Excalibur01 20:23, 22 June 2012 (CDT)

The frame appears to be quite similar, and it appears to have a glock 18 styled fire selector on the slide as well as the same kind of slide serrations.--Recon42 04:54, 23 June 2012 (CDT)Recon42

No it does not. The Glock 18's selector doesn't look anything like that at all and many guns have straight down cocking serrations like that. The frame looks NOTHING like a Glock. Excalibur01 10:06, 23 June 2012 (CDT)

Some of these "Fictional X Gun" weapons are nothing of the sort; most are fictional weapons unique to the U.C. timeline (that "fictional Glock" is really just the EFF standard sidearm; you can also see it in M.S. IGLOO 2.) Calling anything with an external hammer a Glock is a bit of a stretch.

Also, don't add the TV description template for something that is not a movie.

"Colt" M71A1?

Is it really called "Colt" M71A1? I've been doing some research on that gun's image, and Japanese sources I found about it made no mention of Colt. The original source of the image is a custom conversion kit for Maruzen PPK/S by Dai-Nihon Giken Poseidon (all image were removed from that site, here's a alternative source trying to make a custom one since Dai-Nihon Giken no longer sells that conversion kit), and that site (as well as the alternate source) simply called it the "Earth Federation Forces (or U.N.T., in the original Japanese version's English name) Service Pistol". The M71A1 name is mentioned on the alternate blog source, but no Colt. Even the Wiki only mentioned a M71A1 service pistol without the Colt. Where did this Colt name come from? --Wuzh (talk) 02:17, 29 December 2017 (EST)
