And, as I said before, what a movie weapon is shown firing is no indicator of whether it's real or not, just whether it's really firing.

Well you just killed your point right there, they were all real weapons that fired blanks and the BFG is a complete prop that fired plasma rays.

utterly fictional videogame weapon ending up as a semi-believable prop

Personally I think you have to be a complete idiot to think the BFG could be real.

What it actually fired was an obviously fake trail of swirly...stuff. See here:

I have not seen the Movie Eraser and based on the clip you showed me here I do not think the EM-1 Railgun deserves its own page.

But according to MPM, that is the precident as per Einhander, and such a change in precident would also require the deletion of some extremely interesting movie trivia not directly related to real firearms, such as the bonus section on non-weapon special effects in the Terminator 2 article.

IMO it Doesn't matter, the trivia section is on the same page as the firearms section of a film anyways so it's not like there is a full page of non gun trivia.
