I CAN however, disqualify obviously crap titles and delete them. Have you seen this film?

I know I'm late (as usual), but yes, clamp down on this. For those of you who are members: Tag for deletion, and/or alert an Admin.

Guys, we still need to codify the rules. Kinda sucks, but I hate deleting the work of some kid when AT THE TIME he uploaded the page, he WAS following the rules. I would post an (almost apologetic) note saying that "sorry, this page was deemed to not qualify for IMFDB inclusion by a blue ribbon committee of the moderators" "Feel free to continue to contribute work for all other professionally made, mainstream released media".....

And again, I will make exceptions if real LIVE guns were used. I remember seeing a very cool short film at a festival once where it was some story about a bootlegger in the 1920s. I was amazed during the bank shootout that all the guns were mint condition versions of the correct firearms for the period, including some really OBSCURE weapons. I don't remember the film much but I remember that.

And heavens, if some young filmmaker in RUSSIA ever makes a short or low budget indie film and he manages to somehow get a PRIBOR-3B or a 9A-91 for real, I would love to have a screencap of it.

There are always exceptions to the rule. Arghhhh. I see where this is going. You guys want me to update the Rules, Regulations and Standards again don't you?

It had recognition and even the creator of MGS, Hideo Kojima has seen it and that alone is recognition enough.

Unfortunately, It is not. Having been seen by the creator of MGS is not sufficient alone to merit a page. You don't even mention if Kojima even LIKED the effort. Either way. It is a fan film. Also I see no proof that any of the guns used were NOT AIRSOFT. If there is NO obvious sequence that disproves this, then it does not qualify.

Like I said before, there are MAINSTREAM films which have used all airsoft. I vaguely recall a film starring Ben Kingsley where the entire film had to use airsoft because where they were filming did not allow live guns (I think it was a historical site and they didn't want the shockwave of live blanks at all) so all the gunflashes were CGI. But those were EXCELLENT CGI jobs and many people were fooled, apparently.
