Fictional firearms
Among the reqirements to create a page for a fictional weapon are these rules: If they are fictional weapons built upon a real firearm, and :If the weapon (for any reason) would lead the general public to believe that it is a real firearms or based on one.
Considering thaat, I think some of the pages should be deleted. Here's what I think should go: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/%28Ae..._Trooper_Rifle It isn't based on a real weapon, and I don't see anyone thinking that it is real of based on a real gun. Besides, the page admits it's a CGI and plastic weapon All the District 9 weapons, they don't have any real gun under the plastic shell and noone is going to mistake them for real guns. The BFG9000 should stay, if only because it's cool. http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/%28Fa...ing_Missile%22 Ok. so its looks kind of real, but it's just plastic, no base weapon http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/%28Me...%22Red_Club%22 This thing can't be based of anything real, and looks more like a flare pistol or something. Waht do you all think?

We also have a problem with people posting fictional weapons pages like Aliens Resurrection and someone wants to redo the Halo page

I'm torn on that. The Gatling Gun Rifle from Aeon Flux walks the fine line. People 'could' think it is based on a real weapon and thus should be represented as something they could check on. Remember that the requirement that 'someone COULD think that it is based on a real weapon' is very flexible for people who don't have the same depth of knowledge as many of our experienced members.
What I don't like are fictional guns which are artwork. Guns from ANIME or Videogames can be anything. Seriously. The artist has free reign to do whatever they want .... create any idiotic hybrid that they want. The difference is that in movies and TV, someone had to BUILD the prop, so it's either real or based on a real gun or complete fantasy. But in Anime & VG, an artist just has to think it up and draw it. Whoopie Doo! Even if the weapon is based on a real gun, I don't think the general public would ever care, nor wonder if it was. We're here to dispel myths, rumors and falsehoods. This started as the FILM weapon database and it was supposed to dispel urban myths about movie guns. I'm for eliminating any fictional weapon listing that is not a 3 dimensional prop (that is except for items that are really famous and firmly embedded in the public mind, like the BFG). Thoughts?

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