imfdb bumper sticker
 

I've been sick for the past few days and had a lot of time to kill. Aside from working on my own projects I didn't have much else to owrk on. So I came up with the brilliant idea of making my own imfdb bumper sticker.

Background picture set up was a bitch. Had to bring the entire arsenal out. :)

Awesome, truly awesome.

Aw, that's awesome. I'm making that into a poster right now

Thanks guys. And thank you Predator20 for fixing the post.
I hope you all like it.
Let this be a small gift from me to all imfdb members. Please feel free to use it.

I will also make a couple of wallpapers.

If it were really a bumper sticker, I would buy a couple

Take it to Kinko's. They'll help you print stickers.

That's a pretty good idea

Maybe we could get the words go anti-clockwise. Looks much better in my humble opinion

Here's another one. Yes just like The Mechanic poster only with more guns.

Pretty nice. Photoshop or Corel?

Oh my goodness it's beautiful, can you embiggen it?

Cool, but are those all your photos? Can the copyright holder of those pics come after you? Just curious. Just wondering where those pics came from.

Anyone who can positively identify their pictures may come after me.

Obviously I don't own all these guns (or do I?)
Some of them might be from your arsenal or not. Can you tell?
The thing is, all gun pictures in this logo have been altered. And I've done that out of respect.
Some pictures came from the weapon's manufacturers. Some were taken by unknown photojournalist and were black&white btw. A couple of them I had to repaint because they were way too scratched.
I've been using photoshop and illustrator since early 90's. And trust me. I know a thing or two about copyrights and respect.

This is my way of contribution. Let me know if you're not OK with it and I'll stop.

PS: The minigun is mine. Had to dismount it from my Iroquois UH-1. It was a pain in the ass to carry it around and Jesse Ventura wasn't there to help.
The Barrett .50 belongs to my dad. He uses it for duck hunting. :)

It's mainly photoshop and some tiny bit of illustrator as well.

How'd you get all those gun profiles? 'Cause that second one is becoming the wallpaper on my laptop.

It was a pain in the ass... I had to draw most of them.

Here it is. A little larger.

very cool.

You don't have to be a smartass. I was just asking a question. If you restored some of those pics with your PS skills, I applaud you. You're creating original works with substantial effort on your part. That's DIFFERENT than just swiping stuff and claiming it to be your own. Good work. That being said, you're doing well here. Don't blow it.

Super nice work!
Reminds me, anybody know why the M14 is our rifle of choice here? I'd almost prefer an FAL type..... :)

I think the M-14 rifle is in many ways a "historically significant" weapon.
According to the related Wikipedia article which I can not say is 100% correct or not:
"It was the last so-called "battle rifle", a term applied to weapons firing full-power rifle ammunition, issued in quantity to U.S. troops."
Also, in my opinion, as designer, it is a beautiful rifle.

There must be "technical" reasons which I'm not aware of due to the lack of my firearm knowledge. (I'm here to learn :) )

I hope Nyles and many others among us share their extensive knowledge with us so we can learn more about this wonderful rifle. Also, it would be nice to hear from those who had first hand experience.

[Forrest has finished assembling his M-14 rifle]
Forrest Gump: DONE, DRILL SERGEANT!
Drill Sergeant: GUUUUUUMP! Why did you put that weapon together so quickly, Gump?
Forrest Gump: [confused] You told me to, Drill Sergeant?
Drill Sergeant: Jesus H. Christ!
[looks at stopwatch]
Drill Sergeant: This is a new company record! If it wouldn't be such a waste of a damn-fine enlisted man I'd recommend you for OCS! You are gonna be a general someday, Gump, now disassemble your weapon and continue!

IIRC Gump used an M 16 in actual combat ;)

m14s are used in the national matches, they are extremely accuarate, and they look cool, and are a sniper weapon system in several forms used by the US military.

That's what I heard. They are very accurate. Has anybody here any experience with M14s?

My new background, very cool.

Thank you all for kind words.
I'm working on an imfdb wallpaper. I will share it with you when I'm done. :)

Not a real m14 but shot an m1a, love the sight picture.

That truly is an impressive picture. I'm getting a headache squinting at the thing trying to ID all the weapons in it. So far I can make out a Desert Eagle, M1A1 Thompson, M4A1 carbine, Type II AK-47, M134 Minigun, Luger P08, M16A2 with M203 grenade launcher, FN SCAR, MP5A2 with slimline handguard, M1911A1, MP5K, M60 machine gun, Barrett M107, a Smith & Wesson Model 29, and of course the crossed M14's overtop of it all.
