Apparently on the Halo discussion page, someone said that there is no rule on not posting fictional firearms.

No seriously, we have a lot of contradictions on this site. We have Ghost in the Shell where the first weapon on the page isn't a real gun, though it's "Based" on the P90 and now we got people wanting to make a Halo page again.
Then again Aliens Resurrection has a complete page despite none of the guns are real and based on flash blub tech. Where do we draw the line on guns that don't exist and making pages to satisfy our ego about a game, or movie we really like and really want the fictional guns from it on this site? Or people will start putting Mass Effect and Borderlands on this site.

But the problem is that it's between the line of not a real gun, but also it does have a lot of basis on a real gun. But Then Aliens Resurrection is another problem to me. MPM restored the page, but honestly it's not even a well done page like Ghost in the Shell. It doesn't have caps for most of the guns or just one small one. It just seems very unimpressive.
I get that I can delete it, but if people makes snarky comments and then tries to point out that I am rude saying fanboys should go to hell, it kinda sets me back

"If they are fictional / hypothetical weapons which may exist in real life but (so far does not)." "If the weapon (for any reason) would lead the general public to believe that it is a real firearms or based on one. " Now I don't disagree that the Alien Resurrection page is weak, but there are many weaker pages which should be deleted before that one is. But why I think it needs to be on IMFDB is primarily, when the film came out, a LOT of people thought the weapons were based or built on real guns. That type of confusion is the reason WHY IMFDB exists, to dispel myth and rumor from fact. One person (in the business) mistakenly told me that the main rifle used in the film was built on a Cobray CM11 Carbine, which I actually believed because I could see how the 9mm long barreled M11 carbine could fit into the shell of the gun. So for a long time, I thought the main rifle was built on a Cobray gun. And I can't tell how many people (when the film came out) thought that the take down shotgun used by the guy in the wheelchair was a real firearm. So if not to correct movie trivia regarding firearms (on a REAL MOVIE, not some anime or videogame), then why have IMFDB at all?  Just my 2 cents. I'm all for deleting the ANIME entries. Like WTF? Like anyone is going to wonder what gun a piece of artwork is based on? Same thing for VGs except for the BFG because it has appeared in actual films.

Hey, I did a LOT of work on Black Lagoon and if you have seen the page, you can tell these aren't chicken scratch drawings like South Park or Simpsons.
People have asked me about guns in anime and video games. Why not video games?

The point was that a work of ART is not subject to anyone 'wondering' what gun platform the fictional weapon was based on. Any fictional GUN is up to the artists' imagination and frankly, I don't see anyone seriously wondering if any fantasy looking weapon is based on a real one. The only guns that should be listed from Anime are those which are based on real guns. But it's just so ridiculous that anyone would post a fictional weapon from an anime source. The entire point of the fictional gun section was to educate the public as to what it was based on, built upon, or if it is completely made up special effects prop.
