hmm...wasn't the type-69 RPG based of the RPG-2? (I know I'm probably horribly wrong but still...)

I would have to look that up myself, never really studied the history of the RPG much. Although I know it is based off the German Panserfaust.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
to my knowledge the rpg-2 was weaker, smaller, older, and it looked like a panzerfaust with a fore grip...also I don't think it had a rear grip...and neither does the basic type-69

weapons in general are interesting...and as they say "its not the weapons that kill...people kill"

Amen to that, true enough.

it sucks that I'm in Canada...they have firearms restrictions up the rear :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I have heard in some cases. There are guns you guys can get that we here in the states can't, I have heard it's relaxed up there or at least quite the opposite. I don't know about the eastern portions of Canada though, the western part is lax.

well...we can have sawed-offs legally...but we cant have: magazines over 5 rounds, automatic weapons, AK variants, AR variants (some exceptions), pistols, etc. so yeah...but we can have the VZ.58 legally XD

Well, regardless you guys can get some pretty sweet toys. www.outdoorhub.com/stories/201…

okay I did see the AR-Koosh but...man Canada is layed back in some regards...and why might these be illegal in the states?...I don't get it...aren't they converted to semi-auto?

The BATF is really pissy about barrel length on carbines. Hell any rifle with a barrel length under 16" inches has to be registered as an SBR or Short barreled rifle. But for it to be an SBR it has to have a conventional buttstock, folding stock or collapsible stock.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh! okay I get it now...also in the us is it possible to own a ww2 or that time frame weapon and have it automatic as long as its in a safe or some kind of heavy display case?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well actually as long is got registered in 1968 it is legal to own. All you have to have is 30,000 to 75,000 dollars. Plus you have to pass the background check and get a $200 dollar tax transfer stamp from the BATF. Or another way to own post 68 full autos is to become a full auto dealer. Which isn't hard to do, all it takes is a few classes and a background check.

oh okay!...Canada needs to change its tune...are laws suck in a lot of regards :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that can be said for many of the British commonwealth nations.

yeah...but somehow during the oka crisis of '90 Mohawk warriors were carrying AK-47's and type-56 assault rifles...no AK 74's or other variants but still (here's a pic of a Mohawk soldier with a type-56 on his back: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia… )

Eeh pretended legislation will not stop people from doing things, legal or illegal. I can tell you that many people have fullauto's in this country without a BATF license. Hell some of the shit that can pop up at buybacks is astounding. Onetime a StG-44 appeared at a east coast buyback. A rifle worth well over $50,000 to $65,000.

wow!...I wish stuff like that was legal...yeah some of the weapons in Canada are cool but...just not right for some reason...hell I know someone who's friend made a working full auto sten gun out of a few springs, pipes, and a shop :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah Stens are relatively easy to make. Thus why they were so cheap during WWII
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah and didn't the Israeli's make there own during the 1940's-1950's ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes they did during the war against Palestine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
right! (oh and that sten I mentioned earlier...it was never fired due to fear by the owner since he chambered it in 380. auto and well...I never understood it)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I understand if he gets caught with it, it's jail time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think the other reason was it could explode...im pretty sure the sten was never designed for the tiny 380. auto :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well Stens were originally made for the 9mm. .380 Auto is a smaller round, but I would for sure not test fire it until it got looked at by a certified gunsmith. But in Canada... yeah that's a delima, as long as the world has politicians who are paranoid it's a delima. Lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
right XD...also have you heard of those terrible early 20th century Chinese knockoff pistols? (usually based of the browning 1900's or mauser pistols? )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well later on in the wa-...never mind...I just remembered the tanks and rifles o-0...such horrible designs (excluding the nambu type-14 pistol)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah and the tray fed Type 92 machine guns they had. Fucking things needed to be greased with each loading. Although it does serve to some advantage in terms of reliability but not much else. Our .30 and .50 cals had them running when it cam head to head. Marine M-1919 .30 cal machine gun teams could literally out fire them. Aah cloth belts...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do agree on the type 92...it could be pretty atrocious at times...but it did have an advantage over the 1919 in the weight and usability range...and it needed less crew to operate to my knowledge...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah that is true, actually the 1919 had the weight advantage. They were easily portable as with a Type 92 it had to mounted to a tripod to be fireable. Now with a .50 those had to be mounted to trucks and amphibious assault vehicles, which they all were.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah the 50. was a literal monster...both in power and in appearance...but man was it slow compared to everything else XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah but once it started chugging along gtfo the way. lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
exactly XD (if I'm correct didn't some nations try to copy this but fail?...I swore Italy created one chambered in 12.7mm and it sucked...I cant remember)

If this was taken from a Flickr user, you need to get their permission to modify and reupload it (unless they specifically uploaded it under a share and share alike copyright statement, which they did not) and also credit them by name.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well the only rules I am aware of that are BIG in the pmg community is to show credit as to where you got it. If it was not to be used by others they wouldn't upload pasties to begin with lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The only universal rules involved are those of copyright and allowances thereof. Unless an artist either gives explicit permission, or publishes their work under a copyright statement that allows public use (Creative Commons is one such copyright type) they are entitled to exclusive ownership of their work without the allowance for use by others.
This situation is slightly complicated by the fact that Pimp My Gun is a third party asset source, however the basic tenants still apply.
TL;DR version:
Don't use another person's assets (PMG codes) unless they either give explicit permission on the source page, or you ask for permission and receive it from them via comment/message/etc.

He posted the pastie, I would consider that as use my work. It was originally produced by KryptoSphynx on flickr. Considering I modified it that would make it mine. If I had not on the other hand I would have to ask permission from the artist to re upload his "stock" image. From what I read on US copyright laws if you modify or alter a stock photo it becomes yours, the only thing you have to do is give credit for the stock photo or image. Which I forgot to do, that can be fixed !

Availability does not equal permission, and modifying the work of others does not grant you ownership/copyright under normal circumstances.
The only way you can claim ownership (copyright) over a work created in part with the assets of others is if they SPECIFICALLY grant permission and copyright authorization, such as in the case of those who provide stock assets to photoshop artists, either at a price or free of charge.
If an artist in the Pimp My Gun community posts a weapon or weapon part code under the statement that others are permitted to use it, you may then use it on your own creations, provided you credit the original artist for their work.
In short, you cannot claim ownership over something, even if you modify it, unless it is originally distributed under the proper copyright statement. The default copyright statement attached to Flickr uploads is All Rights Reserved, which does not allow for unauthorized derivative works.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Explain fan-fiction then?
You don't need ownership for something like this and frankly no profit is being made.
Credit is where credit is due. If the other person didn't want this up, they would have said something by now.
I for one am still waiting for people to like my work enough to alter it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
While it's marginally permissible under the fair use clause of copyright, the fact remains that it's considered rude to take someone's work and modify it marginally then re-upload it.
I'm fairly sure a fan-fiction producer would be looked down upon if they took a 10,000 word original script or short story, added a hundred or so words, then re-uploaded it as their own.
Getting an artist's permission before using their work is not just a matter of where it stands in terms of copyright, but also a matter of being polite and respectful of their work.

He added a wood texture.
That's more like two thousand words
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not really. Even if you assume that he made the texture himself, the technique used is a simple one, probably no more than a minute or two of real work, then a few more to duplicate out the result. Even I could replicate it in a minute or two, and I haven't touched PMG in years now.
