the day some newbie creates a page for "Obi Wan Kenobi's Light Sabre" .... I'll scream.....

So I guess we agree. Guns or gun based weapons ONLY. Fictional guns that work as guns or might be interpreted as real guns count (Like the blade runner pistol which was built on a rifle's bolt action), etc.

Oh dear GOD no...

Anyway, I've done all I can to put what images I could come up with of the guns of Star Wars that were based around real guns. It was tricky for some of them and I had some help. If I have time I might get better screencaps. I've been trying to do the pages for Star Trek where they did use real guns

Speaking of Andromeda, I just remembered an episode where I saw P90s used on screen. I gotta find me that episode and cap it.

I remember the Stargate Atlantis page and I think the SG-1 page, the previous posters did the "alien weapons" that weren't real guns on those pages. I deleted them and even wrote on top, only real guns or guns built around real guns allowed.

I think there's nothing wrong with doing a small side note on the page as long as there aren't too many. Like STAR TREK, there are just too many fantasy weapons that they should not be listed unless they are based on real guns. After all RAMBO's knife and crossbows are listed in his movie pages, but I don't believe that non firearms merit their own pages in the FIREARMS category.

For example, I listed the CHIG battle rifle in Space Above and Beyond, because it was shown firing like a gun, but it was a pyrotechnic effect, not a real gun inside a sci fi outer shell. Also the Chig battle rifle doesn't merit it's own page on the guns page.

As for the 007 listing, I don't mind listing the Moonraker laser on the "moonraker" page but it does not merit a page on the GUN pages.

Ok, I can agree with you on that. But I still don't feel like getting screen caps about the staff weapons and other weapons from Stargate just because I kinda feel silly doing it.
