History
Launched in May of 2007, The Internet Movie Firearm Database (IMFDB) was originally set up to help identify the use of firearms in Hollywood films. For the first few months of its existence, it listed only a dozen films including The Matrix, Platoon and Pulp Fiction. As the site grew, so did its content. In June of 2007, the site began to list Television shows as well as films. The site has since been expanded to include pages for Video Games and Anime.
Today the data base has grown to list over 2600 films, nearly 500 television shows, over 450 video games and close to 200 Anime series.
Structure & Content
The database is set up to help curious moviegoers find out just what firearms are used in the film that they happen to be watching.
The site features many images of actual screen used weapons. One such gun is the Auto Ordanace 1911A1 that was used by John Travolta in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction. IMFDB is able to get these images because many of its largest contributors are weapons specialist working in Hollywood on films.
Admins work hard to make sure that pages remain up to par.
No homemade films are permitted.
Movie Mistakes
IMFDB also makes an effort to point out mistakes made in meda as the relate to firearms. For example, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 incorrectly shows a Desert Eagle firing double action or the classic "never needs a reload" in which the hero character seems to have a never ending supply of bullets and is never forced to reload a gun that in reality only holds 7 rounds.
