I knew it would be just a matter of time until somebody would do this.
Gunpedia is a wiki that was created in January 2006. A wiki is a website that anyone can edit and improve, sort of like Wikipedia, only this is more specific – it’s for the documentation of just about anything about guns. Right now, you can edit 347 different articles about this subject, and can create many, many more.
On the front page there is a section for:
- Monthly Featured Article
- Monthly Featured Image
- User of the Month
- Newest Pages
Also featured is an alphanumeric index to specific firearms pages. If you don’t see your favorite weapon there, you can add it yourself! I looked at the index, and it appears that there will be a lot of work to do.
There are many special-interest wikis in cyberspace, not the least of which is the IMFDB or Internet Movie Firearms Database, another very interesting wiki.
Thanks for this, it sounds like a great source for checking out guns, now I just need a good way to determine values of guns for people trying to buy or sell old guns.Maybe you can recommend some website for me for that purpose
Jamie – I haven’t found a site that explicitly lists gun price ranges. I generally Google the model number or name and find what I’m looking for most of the time.
Let us know if you run across something like that and we’ll be happy to share it with the readers.
