Did I Fire Five Shots Or Six?

The interweb is a wonderful place, full of lists and databases.  Everybody knows the movie one, and some folks even take a peek at the adult film one, but what if you want to find out what gun your favorite actor used in a particular flick or TV show?

The Internet Movie Firearms Database can tell you about Arnold's AMT Hardballer .45 Longslide from The Terminator or Chow Yun-Fat's double fisted Norinco Type 54 (Tokarev TT-33) in Hard Boiled.  Aside from rocket launchers, grenades, and various other explosive devices, the list has weapons that don't even exist.  The LAPD 2019 blaster? The Morita Mk I Rifle?  Yep, they've got the pictures and details.  And you can not only search by title or weapon, but they even have it listed by actor.  Finally, I can see Harrison Ford used both a DL-44 Blastech blaster pistol and Smith & Wesson M1917 Revolver! Its a very cool way to waste time nerding out.
