Personal image
please get rid of the springfieldXD picture, it's a personal image. if an admin sees the picture it will be erased and you could be blocked 22:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry
You can put the picture of the sprinfieldXD back I just remembered personal images are now allowed.

Zoom
Ah, I see it now. It almost looks like a serial number or some kind of designation for the type of body armor he's wearing, since it seems to be repeated on the fold below the actual vest; it looks like LT-2000 or LT-ZOOO (the "M" at the end is blurry, could be an 0). Googling "bulletproof vest designations" makes me think it's some kind of logo. In any case, I doubt Zoom is his name. I also thought he could be Makarov because of how he's emphasized in the video, but we'll have to wait and see. -- Commdor (Talk) 04:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Gunsmithing
If you don't mind me asking about your personal life, can you tell me more about your job as a gunsmith? Just some basic info like who it's for, what you make, etc. I thought about taking that as a career option after my service in the Army, so I just thought it would be cool to get to know the job better, especially from someone who's actually in that occupation. Thanks! 06:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I meant what company you might work for, but that does answer my question, too. Thanks for that tip on being employed by the Army for repairs, I'm definitely going to keep that in mind, as well as the tip on Machining skills. I actually am planning on joining the 101st like my great uncle (you can read all about that interesting story on my user page if you feel like it), but like you said, if I can get work as a gunsmith while being in the Army, maybe I can just change my field of operation to that and still be a part of the military (granted I make it through America's next EXCITING GLOBAL MILITARY BLUNDER - I mean, CONFLICT. Very good message, thanks for your help. 07:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Quizzing People
Oh, GOD, I do the exact same thing. People like that who bring their input into a conversation on guns are just fascinating. They just found out what an "Em-one-nine-one-one" is yesterday, from playing CoD4, and then they think they're firearms historians. I love just poking at their brain in every way.

"Oh, that's right, the AK-47 IS a machine gun. Refresh my memory, is it general purpose, heavy, light, squad automatic weapon, medium, what? And how does it's blowback mechanism specific to machine guns differ from other Kalashnikov patterns? I heard some strange rumor that it was maaaaagically operated with gas that it just never seems to run out of, ahaha!"

"Oh, right, that DOES have quite a large 'clip' size. What's the mechanism again? And is it a 'round drum', a pan, I can't recall. Say, what's the default manufacturer's capacity for that 'clip' again? And is it loaded by en-bloc, stripper, what? And are you able to remove the clip from the pistol, or do you reload it while it is still in?"

"Yes, I believe a revolver is a pistol, as well."

"You're right, there's a VERY extreme similarity between the M14 rifle and the M21 sniper rifle! I wonder why..."

Sometimes they get the sarcasm after awhile, sometimes they panic, sometimes they're so dumb I have to explain THAT. So many opportunities for ignorant people. 05:11, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

Lol, wow, I don't care if that was my own family member, my fist would think before I acted in THAT instance :P You bet I'll keep making 'em look stupider, if there's one thing that I was put on this earth to do, it's:

1. Harass the worthless idiots wandering the earth.

2. Kill Nazis the enemies of this country.

When guns get involved, then it's just personal, y'know? I mean, I don't even OWN a gun, (save an Air rifle, which is technically a firearm in this state due to the rifled barrel), because I'm 15, and no one else in my house does either, but damn if they're not something I stay up all night thinking about. But, look who I'm explaining it to. :D Now you keep the world on turnin' man, I gotta get some shut-eye. 04:15, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Finest Hour
Yeah, I have it. I was actually playing it earlier today. But to answer your question, no, there are no usable pistols in the game. The only pistols seen in the game are TT-33s used by a few Commissars in Stalingrad.

I remember reading one preview of it back in 2004, saying that you would have an arsenal of authentic World War II pistols and rifles at your disposal in the game. When I got the game, I was sad that there were actually no pistols to use. 00:18, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Myers
Lieutenant Myers was in Call of Duty 2, not Call of Duty 1. 00:25, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, nevermind. I see you corrected yourself just seconds before I sent you the message. We seem to think alike, huh? 00:26, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly. We think similarly. Also, can you try to get in the habit of adding a datestamp whenever you sign something? Five tiddles ( "" ) left after your signature will automatically add whatever time it is. 00:31, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Signature typage
By reading what you put in the summary for the movement of your signature template, I assume you haven't made it your default signature in Special:Preferences.

Under the "User profile" tab, there's a spot titled "Signature:". I have "Signatures/Chiafriend12" entered in mine, with the "Custom signature" box checked. This lets me simply type " – " whenever I sign, which results in what you see at the end of my every post.

Well, I'm telling you all of this on the assumption that you'll be interested in knowing it. It really is more efficient than typing out your signature's title every time. 02:43, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I try to be helpful like that. :) 03:02, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry, when I become president (given that I'm still alive for that), I'll make sure the whole country world knows the difference between a clip and a mag. Damn.

Re: GUNS
Well, I have shot my uncle's Gas-operated 16 gauge (or was it 18 perhaps?), and I kinda fired a 12 gauge break-action, but I was little, so I had a little help with the recoil from my mom. The weird thing is, he didn't let me shoot the 16 gauge semi-automatically. Made me reload one at a time. He offered to let me try out his muzzle loader (dunno caliber, it was a Remington Genesis), but it already made me literally jump at the noise from a third-person perspective, and I knew guns were louder from first person perspective, so I didn't want to get involved. I'm going to be shooting my first sidearms pretty soon, though. It's really sad, I have about two years from the Army, and I haven't even held a rifle (cleaning his muzzleloader doesn't count). We should be getting a semi-automatic .22 when I turn 16, though. But really. 02:56, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I will! I thought it was pretty stupid too, and if you think very theoretically, that's not the greatest thing to be doing to your firearm, right? My uncle said the same thing about noise, but, yeah, I'm not used to it yet. Hopefully I'll get some 30-round magazines from Remington after we get it though. On that note, on their website, they call them clips. REMINGTON calls them CLIPS. It almost made me cry. 03:32, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe they don't know their own products. XD 03:35, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe an intern that doesn't know a lot about guns wrote the product descriptions on the website. :O Darkman 4 07:11, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Marlin did the same thing, too. 22:45, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Marines quote
Saw the Marines quote on your page and found one that may be more fitting:

''Only two people truly know a Marine. The Marine and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion.''

There is only fighting to survive
I saw this on your page and I thought about the way my little bother fights. If we get into a fight for some reason, he cries on the first punch. Then he starts to do some sort of "scare tactic" (That means he'll pretend to throw something at you and if you flinch, he says that you're scared of him; and if you don't flinch he'll throw it at you anyway.). And I keep telling him: "That scare tactic that you do, it's not gonna work if your in war,". Don't take it the wrong way, he's 10 & I'm 13.   Maj.Gage   Talk . 20:31, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

Darkest of Days
Do you have, or want to get, Darkest of Days? Or do you even know what it is, for that matter? 22:02, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing. You see, the premise of the game is that you are a Cavalryman for the US Army, by Colonel Custer's side at the Battle of Little Bighorn (Custer's Last stand). As everyone else is just being decimated (not one American soldier actually lived through that battle, you see), someone from the future slows down time, appears in a bubble sort of thing (the things that they use to travel through time throughout the game) and tells you you need to come with him. Afterward, it turns out that you don't come up in the numbers of the dead at the battle, meaning you were assumed missing in action somewhere during your lifespan, or dead elsewhere. The people that saved you, KronoteK (the company that invented time travel, and assigns you to your various tasks in the game) try to withhold the information from you as to why you were nabbed through time moments before your death, but your good friend Dexter (he's actually your superior who leads you in every mission, but still) tells you why you're there on account of your good behavior. The way you disappeared (as well as Dexter, who was an off-duty firefighter in the twin-towers on 9/11, saved in the same way) makes you and Dexter one of "history's mysteries", you aren't expected to show up anywhere else, so they're able to use you to travel through time and fix various errors in the time line, or "time disturbances", namely people in wars who should live through the whole thing being relocated to a unit that gets wiped out. And if something goes wrong while you're doing your thing, then you just go back and fix it. If you die, too bad, but people thought you were, anyway. That's about the whole thing with as little spoiler-age as possible. 22:23, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

I would totally recommend it. And if you don't want to wait, I'm just saying that my brother got a torrent and no-cd crack of it...though of course THAT'S not a recommendation. 22:46, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

Anything, my friend. I ask because I was made the SysOp/Crat for the Wiki, if you didn't already read that. 05:32, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I said I would vote for you didn't I? And even if I didn't, I would still vote for you just cause you're a hard worker and valuable to this Wiki.

I know I'm not Dark, but I fixed it. In the coding of your signature, there were empty lines between the end of the code and the category stamp, which were carried over to wherever your signature was, making the datestamp appear a few lines below. Hope that helps, 20:52, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
