== Resident Evil Wiki ==
== Jolly roger ==
Boo.


I've officially given permission to this site to jack stuff from the RE Wiki (like information is exclusive. HAH!), so feel free to copypasta from one wiki to the other.
As a note, "jolly roger" is a term for ''all'' pirate flags, not just the traditional skull and crossbones, so I figured I'd be specific. Plus, we've already said "jolly roger" once in that sentence. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 02:30, 26 October 2017 (EDT)

== GRAW 2 ==
It's called "Krytac Trident LMG-E" and that's [https://www.krytac.com/trident-lmg-enhanced official] [https://www.krytac.com/dealer-resources#krytac-images name]. I'm pretty sure you used the name from [https://www.evike.com/products/55432/ this Evike page], but you didn't read the description of it (which don't has any "MKII" in it) and in the official page you can see "MKII Series" tab with only PDW, SRB and SPR types and LMG is not part of it. Ubisoft used real designation (for an airsoft gun) in ''Rainbow Six Siege'' instead of "MK249" from ''Ghost Recon Wildlands''. While it's minor and airsoft, I used proper name in my edit. [[User:Terramax|Terramax]] ([[User talk:Terramax|talk]]) 14:02, 23 November 2017 (EST)
Hi,  


You seem to be quite knowledgeable about firearms and might own a copy of the console version of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. I've been trying to add new screenshots and information from the PC version, and while it is coming along slowly, there are quite a few firearms-related questions I've come up with while working with this game, that I posted in that article's discussion page. No one so far has come forward to answer my questions about this (admittedly somewhat old and not very popular) game, so I'm trying a different tack by asking you.  
== I would but... ==


Basically, the three most important questions right now are: 1) Which version of MP5SD does the screenshots I've posted depict? 2) What's the caliber of the MR-C (the PC version just gives a flat 5mm for width, not length which is uninformative) and is it plausible for there to be 50 rounds of it in that magazine? 3) Is it possible in real-life to slap a red dot sight on the XM8 Compact Carbine version? I remember Johnny Sasaki from Metal Gear Solid 4 having a red dot sight on his XM8 Compact (that was the ingame name for it), but I don't know if it's in fact the Compact Carbine version.
[[Talk:Homefront_(VG)#Blocked|A certain someone]] has already declared an intention to fart around with it, and you know what happens when he does that. I could unlock it temporarily if there's some specific thing you want to do with it? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 09:49, 17 December 2017 (EST)
:Ok, moved it and unprotected it for 24 hours. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 10:59, 17 December 2017 (EST)


Any assistance you might have to lend would be most appreciated. Once I'm done with the GRAW 2 PC entries, I'm looking to add new pages of some other very nice shooter games.
== Day of the Dead (2008) edits ==


[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 06:27, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Just curious.  What motivated you to change the Bulgarian AR (AK clone) in the film to an original AK47.  Is there any article or information that backs this up?  Since this film was shot in Bulgaria I find it very unusual that they would have an original Soviet battlefield AK47 when they themselves make tons of AK clones that look just like the firearm in the screencaps. Thanks.  :D  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 19:11, 11 January 2018 (EST)


== Handheld Minigun ==
==Fuze and fuse==
Well Spartan,
GAU17 is right about that Minigun image being airsoft. Unfortunatly he also has somehow gotten it into his head that they two cylinders at 2 and 10 o'clock on the GE miniguns have something to do with recoil supression. They don't, according to my various Class 3 sources they are mounting lugs and have nothing to do with recoil supression. Thus once again I am going to have to go over what he wrote and edit out his misinformation.[[User:Rockwolf66|Rockwolf66]] 04:24, 24 April 2010 (UTC)


== You suck and I hate you. ==
From what I've read this is a clip / magazine thing: '''fuse''' is either "circuit breaker" or "burning wick," while '''fuze''' is "mechanical detonator." [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 12:01, 2 May 2018 (EDT)


OK you don't like the MK23, now do you have to keep bringing up the fact that you despise it in every discussion I've ever seen about it while repeating some BS about every person ever who was issued one hated it? Are you a Special Forces soldier or did you just read someones dumb opinion on wikipedia or a comment from some "real ex sf guy" on youtube?
==Threads==
:It's not BS, it's the truth. And no, I didn't get it from Wikipedia or YouTube. Sorry, HK, but your "Special Ops" gun isn't suitable for actual ''real world'' Special Operations (i.e., outside of video games and movies). 1911s are better. Let it be known that this is the '''last''' anon user I'll bother replying to on this talk page. If you don't want to be ignored, then register. Seriously, it's so simple that even an ''HK fanboy'' can do it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 09:53, 10 October 2010 (UTC)


I have to agree with Spartan, unless you have hands the size of an ape, the MK23 isn't a practical gun at all.[[User:Kornflakes89|Kornflakes89]] 17:35, 12 April 2011 (CDT)
Yeah, I remember recommending you this movie (frankly, we're overdue for another one in this vein). As for its horrific nature and its infamous final scene, you can at least rest assured that in studies of radiation exposure and unborn babies (such as after the Japanese atomic bombings and the Chernobyl incident), babies with radiation-induced birth defects generally don't survive to be born. Yes, leaving the question of who fired nukes first ambiguous would also fit the theme of "We all lose" better. Did you get to watch ''[[The Day After]]'' or ''[[By Dawn's Early Light]]'' as well?


:Is this the same Kornflakes89 as on MGSForums? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 00:19, 13 April 2011 (CDT)
If you're still up for reading more about how close we are to nuclear annihilation (the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists' "Doomsday Clock" puts us at a mere 100 seconds to midnight) you may want to get copies of the books titled ''How the End Begins'' by Ron Rosenbaum and ''Command and Control'' by Eric Schlosser. The Cold War may officially be over, but the doomsday machine (if you will) is still active, especially with Russia boasting about their new nuclear superweapons like "Status 6" and the like. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh|talk]]) 14:40, 12 May 2021 (EDT)

== L98A2? ==


:The Special Forces sniper I have tracking you. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 15:12, 13 April 2011 (CDT)
A few questions about yoor addition of the L98A2 category, firstly are you sure that image is of an L98A2, as all examples I have seen have the newer full polymer A2 handguards. Secondly, which variant did you mean this to be, as the L98A2 is not manually opperated, it is semi only with the normal gas system. The manual gun is the L98A1. Lastly, what makes you think the guns in Blood Red Sky are L98A2s? The only difference would be the markings and lack of a selector which is not visible in any of the screenshots. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 05:23, 2 August 2021 (EDT)

Just wondering what you edited on the Supergirl season 5 page, as it didn’t say what was changed clearly. -Chrish13


I finished the [[Street Fighter]] page so you can take that off your page and don't have to find your DVD.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:45, 26 June 2011 (CDT)
:I changed the optic name in the M4 example pic's caption to the company name (Aimpoint CompM2). That model of optic was replaced as the "M68" beginning in around 2014 when the Army started buying the newer CompM4 model instead. It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine that I'm a little OCD about.

By the way, would you know any way to get screenshots of the show itself as I know IMFDB doesn’t like pages without screenshots, but I can only access it on Netflix, where screenshots aren’t allowed. Just wondering. -Chrish13


Howsit. I'm new to this site and introducing myself to everyone I can find. Doing some minor edits for now but after I get some time I'll do a few pages that aren't on IMFDB yet. Any info you need about history I'll be glad to help. Thanks --[[User:Mikey|Mikey]] 13:47, 27 June 2011 (CDT)

== Template:Red Dead Series ==


So I went ahead and create the {{tl|Grand Theft Auto Series}} template for ya. What you should do is place the following "{{tl|Grand Theft Auto Series}}" (without the quotation marks) at the bottom of each of the Grand Theft Auto pages. The biggest benefit here is that if a change needs to be made it only needs to be made in ONE place. So, for example, at the moment the release date for [[Grand Theft Auto V]] is "TBD". Once the date is finalized, all you have to do is change it in the template, and all the other pages automatically update. If you have any questions, drop me a line on my user talk. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] ([[User talk:Zackmann08|talk]]) 23:24, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

== The Walking Dead Game ==
If you're talking about the <nowiki>=See Also=</nowiki> headings, I can put it back on the template, while still using the newer <nowiki>{{Navbox}}</nowiki> navbox creation template (which standardizes navbox creation, and avoids the jank "nbsp"s).


Hi. It's been a while but I think the first shotgun Lee uses after the crash looks like an [[FN SLP]] Standard. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] ([[User talk:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|talk]]) 08:59, 16 March 2013 (EDT)
While I personally prefer not putting headings in navbox templates (it makes things messy if we want to stack multiple navbox templates on the same page, since each of them will have their own <nowiki>=See Also=</nowiki> heading), I can make some exceptions for now if people prefer it that way. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 00:35, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
:I don't know, just because Lee "pumps" it it doesn't mean that he is using a pump shotgun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9SnHso3ezE Here is the video of Lee using it (after 10:00). There is a pumping sound but the fore-end is not moving. It would not be the first game to portray a semi-auto shotgun as pump-action. It is the same weapon the bandit is holding in the very next picture. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] ([[User talk:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|talk]]) 15:03, 16 March 2013 (EDT)

Does the firearm in this photo look like a CAA Roni SI1 or CAA Micro Roni, because the users who edited the article for the 2018 movie Rampage, said that the firearm, Urijah Faber was wielding was CAA Roni SI1, but I think it’s a CAA Micro Roni because of the rectangular hanguard, while the CAA Roni SI1 has a more rounded hndguard. What do you think?

== Titles that begin with "The" ==


Hey Spartan. How's the movie? The rifles from the scene I referred to you on the page were restored. Right? [[User:Dangerman1973|Dangerman1973]] ([[User talk:Dangerman1973|talk]]) 21:14, 25 June 2013 (EDT)
Regarding the titling of ''[[The Last of Us]]'' and ''[[The Last of Us Part II]]'', we recently changed IMFDB's rules on titling pages that begin with "The" (see [[IMFDB_Style_Guide|Style Guide]]); we no longer physically move the titles to have "The" placed at their ends. Instead, we make use of the DEFAULTSORT magic word (see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words MediaWiki] documentation) containing a "The"-relocated version of the title to fix their sortings. This way, the pages will be able to keep their actual real life titles (with "The" at the front), which makes wiki editing and other back end management easier. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 22:39, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Garrick (Urijah Faber), one of Burke's mercenaries, uses what appears to be a SIG-Sauer P226 mounted in a CAA Micro RONI.

Does the firearm in this photo look like a CAA Roni SI1 or CAA Micro Roni, because the users who edited the article for the 2018 movie Rampage, said that the firearm, Urijah Faber was wielding was CAA Roni SI1, but I think it’s a CAA Micro Roni because of the rectangular hanguard, while the CAA Roni SI1 has a more rounded hndguard. What do you think?

Titles that begin with "The"

Regarding the titling of The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II, we recently changed IMFDB's rules on titling pages that begin with "The" (see Style Guide); we no longer physically move the titles to have "The" placed at their ends. Instead, we make use of the DEFAULTSORT magic word (see MediaWiki documentation) containing a "The"-relocated version of the title to fix their sortings. This way, the pages will be able to keep their actual real life titles (with "The" at the front), which makes wiki editing and other back end management easier. --Wuzh (talk) 22:39, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
