What are your thoughts on Grenade images on movie pages?

I know that on Futureweapons and a couple of other "reality" shows they use real grenades to demonstrate things. But as MPM said in Movies and on television they use fakes and they should be labled as such.

And personally, I was against us having a page for FutureWeapons (and all the other reality shows) in the first place.

I concur. Shows that are basically 'documentaries' on new military weapons technology or historical ones, have NOTHING to do with the background work of movie armorers in film and television or graphics artists in VGs & Anime. I've always hated them, because there is no 'craft' involved in 'borrowing' the latest and greatest guns and ordnance from the Army. None of the REST of us can ever get that, and there is no real effort involved. I remember when some members started listing Television series about military events in which ALL of the images were real News footage. It was a complete waste of time. I guarantee you, NO viewer will 'wonder' what random Muslim terrorist is using in a quick clip from a fight somewhere in the Middle east from an Al Jazeerah Feed.

So these reality shows in essence, create a whole NEW CLASS of weapons that IMFDB has to waste server space on, even though no one will EVER use them or see them in films or other entertainment. I've always said, "IMFDB is NOT "The history of Guns website", but a lot of folks don't comprehend what that exactly means.....

Another thing about those shows. They tell you what the weapon is, no need to identify it. Unlike a movie or TV show. So what's the use?

I agree completely. Kinda removes the need for IMFDB to identify the weapon, doesn't it? What purpose does it serve? Would anyone wonder and if they did, they could always just look it up on the DVD set e.g. "(Chapter 4 : The M4)".

I agree with all of you. It pisses me off even more when there's documentarys in here. I think there is some documentary pages in the site. I think they were deleted, though.
