I just saw the trailer to this movie, but the only gun I've seen so far is MP5A3s. I dont feel like taking the effort of making a page just for that

the term "Fire" should only apply to Firearms that uses gunpowder through a spark igniting a "fire" and an explosions that propells the projectiles. A crossbow, slingshot, dartgun, etc are not firearms, they launch projectiles through the use of a device that produces tension and once the tension is loose or release, the projectile is thrown.

The term "fire" as in fire your weapon is the term nowadays for any weapon that propells a projectile. But since this is a gun site and not a crossbow site, crossbows only deserve an honorable mention at the bottom of the page like cars or knives or a trivia mention, not to be classed as an actual weapon

I own a high-powered cross bow, and while I agree, I just think they are too awesome to be put below firearms.

I mean, I shot a wooden board about 20" long and 20" wide at 30 yards with a dull bolt, and I couldn't pull the bolt out! It doesn't make a loud bang, and it packs a punch. I was very impressed, I'm putting it in my movie for this very reason.

The reload time with the powerhouse ones is a bitch though.

But since this site is all about what kind of firearms, we should put crossbows on top of a page.

I'm kiding, they are very cool weapons, but like you said, the bottom is the best part on the page for them.

Now, a movie with nothing but crossbows (say a medievel movie) deserves no mention, because like you said, there are no firearms in the film.

I've only seen the MP5, so I'm not going to make a page just for that.

But that's such a good shot! You should make it, you never know if someone saw the trailer and wondered what it was...

That looks like a Tasco red dot sight, BTW.

Crappy-looking "Humvee", though.
