IMFDB - Internet Movie Firearm Database

I always wanted a replica of this. 
It's so damn purty!

Has there ever been a film which there is a character who has a very unique firearm that you wish you could own a replica of, if not the original?  Yet you don't know what make and model of the gun was or any idea as to where to find it on the intertubes. 

Well, now there is a site just for you; IMFDB.org (Internet Movie Firearm Database) is a wiki database of the thousands of guns and other assorted firearms used in films.  Now you can spend hours on this site looking up everything from the guns used in Blade Runner to Hellboy's Samaritan and more! 

Go here to see for yourself.
