==Beretta 92FS==
Used by Insp. Tequila.

You write:

==Beretta 92FS==
A [[Beretta 92FS]] is used by Insp. Tequila ([[Chow Yun-Fat]]) during the shootout in the hospital.

And I know you don't like doing it, but putting captions in the screencap thumb tabs helps explain the situation to people who haven't seen the movie yet. For isntance, you can have a description that says:

==IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII==
Jack Slater ([[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]) uses an [[Desert Eagle|IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII]] as his sidearm in the film.

While this description is vague to the story line, by describing the scene seen in the screencap, the reader can know where they are when they use this gun. You can see on my pages that I use this type of description quite often.

And of course, add a stock gun image for visual reference.

Does this help any? I don't mean to pick on you about this, it's just the pages look much more professional and aesthetically pleasing when done to 100% format.
