If you’ve ever watched a movie and wondered what kind of gun that is, or if you have argued with a friend about movie weapons, here’s the perfect resource. The Internet Movie Firearms Database (imfdb) has the answers! You can look up movies by title, actors, television shows, the weapons themselves, and even video games. Pictured is Johnny Depp with a M1911A1 in the 2001 film Blow. Link -via Transbuddha

Didn't know that Neatorama also promotes violence, neat.

LOL Dude. I'm impressed they have now have a database for OCD copycat/serial killers who love movies. I'm going to look up the movie "Gotcha".

Just chiming in to counter the pantywaist "Oooh, guns are scary" comments by the first 2 posters. That site seems like a neat trivia resource. Thanks for the tip.

Johnny Depp looks like a woman in that picture.

Guys like guns. Most guys never get to use them, "except for that one time, when I got to visit my uncle who lives in the country..." And they talk about it a lot.
It's hard to get to know all the intricacies of guns, but when you see them being wielded in movies - often badly - it's great to know what it is, why it's right, why it's wrong... Excellent source.
And I finish with, for all the haters: guys like guns. PC or not.

Fitting the pic is of a 1911, I'm sure that pistol and the many basic derivations of it are all over that database. Very reliable, widely produced model.

This is an insanely awesome database. Dudes and dudettes could learn a lot from it! Thanks Miss C!

I have been trying to find the movie that has the largest number of different guns. So far, I have discovered Matrix Revolutions with 21 listed. Anyone else want to play?

Wow! Just in time for Halloween. If just one more Japansiewait tourerist knocks on this door then...well...he is my property. He had better not make me scared.

Is that guy going to shoot his own hand through someone's head?
Blah
@Dude: The next time you see violence in real life, you know what you should do? Blame Neatorama!
Jaycatt
What a great resource, I agree! My partner is constantly describing guns in the movies we see, to the point of pausing and reversing a movie to check on details. He's getting quite a kick out of this as we speak!
D.D.
I like it in the movies when they chamber a round into their guns about 4 times before shooting it. Also, how they can hear each other talking in low voices after shooting their guns about 50 times with no ear protection.
