Happy post-Valentine's day to all. Fox, L3vi and I have been discussing a database of guns in Borderlands. I used my crack progamming skills to put together a framework over the past couple days tentatively dubbed the Gunopedia.

You can find it here. Since this is a work in progress, you need to be registered to check it out.

One thing to keep in mind. There is no guarantee to the accuracy of the data in the Gunopedia. This is a fan site and we haven't received any official info from Gearbox. 

The data in the Gunopedia was gathered by L3vi from E3 videos. Those videos are grainy so it's difficult to read the stats in them at times. Also, those E3 vids are pre-alpha so it's very possible that the guns we see there won't be in the final game or will be significantly altered.

The Gunopedia is a work in progress so please post any spotted bugs, feature requests, or other feedback in the thread below.

Hey, great job

I'll look for any weapons that you guys may (or may not) have missed.  Out of curiosity, do you accept weapons with partial stats?

I can guarantee that I'm

I can guarantee that I'm going to have every one in the Presentation once I finish the next run through of Video #2. I sort of skirted the issue today. ^_^. I'm playing it back a 6% of its normal speed, pausing at what is pretty much every other frame. I'm certain I'll get everything.

If Gearbox is wise...

If Gearbox is wise, they'll just hire L3vi to do the strategy guide.

@ Leonhart, guns with all stats are preferable. Plus, a screengrab of the gun is really helpful. I would like to put one on each gun page.

If you find a new gun, post it in the Gun and Weapon post, and I'll add it to the database.

Alright, I finished it and

Alright, I finished it and sorted it all up for you. More weapons, Higher Resolution screencaps of all the weapons, all of their respective stats, including what level the additional damage effect is.

Go ahead, call me a NooB

How do you take screenshots?  I have the video paused perfectly.

Easiest way to take a screenshot

An easy way to take a screenshot is to hit the PrtScn(Print Screen) button on your keyboard. Then open a photo editing program like Photoshop and paste the screenshot into a blank document.

I believe there is also software to take screen grabs easily but I don't know of any free options off the top of my head.

Alright

Should I give you the gun data I find and time on the video so you can take the shot?  Because I can't.  If I should, here it is:

Manufacturer/Name/ Firepower/Accuracy/Rate of Fire/Ammunition Capacity/Reload Speed/Additional Damage Type/Level of Damage

Vladof/TMP4/11/3/13/20/2.2/Explosive?(I don't know what the symbols mean)/1

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/241346.html

It's 19 seconds in

The gun data is on the riht.  It's the pistol type gun he was using.  You can post it on the guns and weapons since you'll want the shot.

If you didn't want that info, well, that's all I can do for you...sorry.

Thanks Leonhart

I've got it up right here now.

I'm in the process of updating the Gunopedia with new, higher quality pics from L3vi. They should all be up by tomorrow.
