	Seeing the page more complete and I've got to say, it looks like it could stay. It has the movie weapons in it, which should be allowed, as well as weapons that look like there based off of real guns. All the completely fictional weapons are off (predator weapons), so personally, i don't see a reason for deletion. --[[User:FirearmsNewbie\|FirearmsNewbie]] 23:00, 4 January 2011 (UTC)		Seeing the page more complete and I've got to say, it looks like it could stay.

			==Predator Speargun==

			The only ballistic weapon used by Predators, this weapon fires long metal darts with forked heads (somewhat similar to the ammunition that certain underwater firearms in real life use). It possesses a scope of sorts that is never used, the Predators preferring to use the optical magnification systems in their masks instead. The Speargun is capable of firing single darts or a shotgun-like burst of 3 darts at once. The weapon's scope, muzzle, and pistol grip are capable of folding to be flush with the gun's main body for more compact stowage. The firing mechanism behind the gun's workings is never disclosed, and the question remains open as to whether it uses a compressed gas, [[List_of_gun_abbreviations#E\|EMAC]], or chemical explosives to fire its ammunition (the last of which would by definition make it a firearm).

			In the original version of the game, the Predator Speargun had a magazine capacity of 9 darts, but this was quickly patched to become a single ammo pool, so players could expend all their available ammunition (a maximum size of 27 darts) without pausing to reload.

			Monolith Productions would later use their experience with this weapon to develop the Armacham 10mm HV Penetrator weapon seen in [[F.E.A.R]].

			[[Image:AVP2_-_PC_-_FPV_-_Predator_Speargun.jpg\|thumb\|none\|600px\|The Predator player character admires his Speargun and its handiwork. Amazingly enough, the darts stuck in most targets can be recovered and reused with no ill-effects on the weapon.]]
			[[Image:AVP2_-_PC_-_3PV_-_Predator_Speargun.jpg\|thumb\|none\|600px\|A Predator Speargun confiscated by scientists at the Forward Observation Pods on LV-1201. This is the only way the weapon's pistol grip can be seen.]]

In reality, while destroying someone's head in a messy manner is perfectly possible with the right gun and ammunition, clean decapitation is another matter entirely.]]

	Should this page even be here? It has no real firearms, there all fictional. --[[User:FirearmsNewbie\|FirearmsNewbie]] 11:10, 4 January 2011 (UTC)		Should this page even be here? It has no real firearms, there all fictional. --[[User:FirearmsNewbie\|FirearmsNewbie]] 11:10, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
	:I think so. Assuming it has the same guns as in the movies (can't tell as the page is incomplete) then at least the pulse rifle, flamethrower and smartgun (same as sentry gun) are all built on real weapons. Also, just at a glance the pistol seems to be based on a Mark 23. --[[User:Commando552\|commando552]] 18:29, 4 January 2011 (UTC)		:I think so.

	:So, we're butting up against another grey area, hmm? Fictional firearms in films are fine if they're made of real-life firearm parts, but digital representations of those same weapons aren't? I'm surprised that the mods haven't already struck down pages like the Metro 2033 Kalash 2012 then, even though it "could well be a real weapon" despite having no real-life props. I'd still like to make my case before MPM2008 though. I've already finished uploading images and text of the weapons in this game that have direct counterparts in [[Aliens]], so let's see if the other mods think the page is worth keeping just for those. --[[User:Mazryonh\|Mazryonh]] 20:27, 4 January 2011 (UTC)		:So, we're butting up against another grey area, hmm?
