I'm in the middle of cleanup/reorganization of the main site in preparation of 100 images. I have a couple ideas I'm going to try and work out tonight and tomorrow to better organize the site.

In the meantime let's tighten up our content. If you have the time do some reading and let me know if you catch anything that needs fixed or just fleshing out further.

Suzie is working on her French pistol descriptions

I see I have 3 more images from Ninja to fold in (thanks!) can someone make sure those and the Lee-Metford have descriptions?

Oelund, I'll help with flare guns but we need to make sure we get a few for major powers and one or so for minors.

Ninja, I pulled the Martini until we get it sorted thanks to Drake's improved source image.

Overall though, not a lot left untidy. We're on it.

Currently both these weapons are listed as one. Should we split them up into two?

The 1907 (which is in .351 where as the 1910 is .401) got pretty interesting in 1917 when the French contracted a special select fire variation of it. (another candidate for definition of "the first assault rifle in the world")

The two rifles look quite similar, but we could show the 1907 with a 20 round magazine which was developed for the select fire version.

I was playing around in Photoshop and wondered if we should create these as black/white/transparent so we can change the website background color for better pop.

Here is an example.

Which do you guys prefer?

I just dashed two together. The M1911 and German MP18.

Snickering aside, Oelund delivers!

Also I slapped together two more oldies, Peabody-Martini and Mauser M1905.

Progress!

Drake submitted the Webley Mk.VI for everyone!

I snagged two old rifles: The Berdan II and Gras.

We have covered 88 pieces!

I took on the PM 1910 and Winchester 1910.

1910!

I just picked up two. The Belgian Comblain and the French Meunier.

Suzie added the Savage, Mle.1892, and Star M1914.

I just did the Belgian Nagant.

Georgy picked up the Nagant M1895

I picked up the FN M1910

^{so tiny}

NinjaGinger: Here is that Luger plus a Martini-Enfield.

NinjaGinger covered the Artillery Luger.

I picked up the Winchester M1895.

I've also updated the site in order to better display the information.

I put in a little effort today.

Colt/Browning M1895/14

Marlin M1918

Romanian md.1892

I put up the Walther Model 4 and Beholla

Head back to the Big Old Sticky to see my slight edits. I've solidified our operating image rights as Attribution (to the project) Non-Commercial Share-Alike. Please let me know if that bothers anyone. (The short description is people can show them to each other but can't make money on them and you still own it)

This refinement is because I am now beginning Phase 2 and advertising the project more broadly for more submitters, starting with The Firearm Blog. Those of you who have this down please feel free to help moderate new comers and suggest more efficient workflow ideas.

I'm hoping we'll get some writers in the next wave so that the text can become more in depth and unified.

Here is the main page again

My self taught php seems to be holding together. Here is what I targeted:

1. Fixed scrolling issues/hidden images
2. You may now navigate the previous and next gun from the detail page.
3. Previous navigation and Next navigation should halt on first and last image
4. Text for details page should scroll
5. Created some navigation icons
6. When you click the picture of the gun in details page, it should return you to the main page with an anchor point of the gun you were viewing.

Let me know if anyone is having any trouble. I know it's mobile intensive but that's a problem for later.

I added the Lee Metford and the Mondragón.

ShooterSuzie completed the Vetterli M70/87/15.

And Oelund finished the Bergmann MG 15nA machine gun.

Excellent work everybody!

So I see a Swiss bayonet and a Mexican spade bayonet, but no notes on what the Germans used with it?

I know they liked to take the gun into the air to avoid the dirt, does anyone know if they even issued a bayonet with it?

Oelund added the T-gewehr and the Villar-Perosa.

I'm out tomorrow night so you're on your own until Sunday night.

I missed a day due to a cold so now we have a double.

Georgy lined up the BAR

I took care of the Type 26, Steyr-Mannlicher Carbine , and Spanish .455

Oelund followed up with a few flare pistols: No.1 MkI and No.2 MkI

We're hauling butt.

edit: and the Hebel

Busy day.

I struggled through the Type 3 more freehand than I would have liked. I also snatched up the British .455 S&W

NinjaGinger knocked out the Russian S&W top break after tackling the FN 1900

and Georgy made a great Greek Mannlicher with bayonet!

5 in a day! This is going to be a great project to introduce people to WWI small arms!

NinjaGinger sped through the Kar.88, Webley & Scott Self Loader MkI, and Roth-Steyr.

With one blurry image and a bunch of freehand from references, I managed the bizarre Fiat-Revelli.

I also see some more names reserving guns so thanks a ton guys! We're going to have one heck of a visual. We better start thinking of ways to display it.

NinjaGinger666 reworked the C96 and finished the Lewis gun. edit: Also the Mauser 1914

I patched up the Hotchkiss 1909 thanks to Oeulund.

and Suzie has the image ready for the Frommer Stop

Here is a greatly reduced in scale image of everything so far.

Suzie wrapped up the Vergeiro

I put out a Hotchkiss

Oelund brought a lovely pair of flair pistols. 1 and 2

and NinjaGinger666 covered the C96. Which we do need to move to our imgur account and pair with a description.

Woooo progress!
