I think that's a pretty good picture of somebody pushing a red button, so it would fit on Big Red Button. I'm not sure what it's doing here though.

Ten seconds on GIS turned out several better examples, such as this one, a frame from this, that one, or even this here. I rather like the last one.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

I like the last one and the first one, in that order.

[up]Agree

I'm trying to find one from Gran Torino, but this was the best I could do: [1] and [2]

Oh, poo. Both of those could easily be just pointing. But finding Clint doing a finger gun would be hilarious.

I did at least find some higher-quality versions of Mr. Bean (thanks to Tin Eye)

[up] I think that's Johnny English. Still, great pic.

[up]Nope, Mr Bean. When he goes to the airport during the movie (well, not that scene but it's definitely in the film).

Another suggestion... but I prefer Mr Bean.

It's not. It's a representation of a taunt from the game that involves a Finger Gun. Heck, it kills people if they're in front of you.

Here's an in-game shot.

Pow! Haha!

Replace the TF 2 pic with the TF 2 pic.

I doubt others can claim that they can kill people solely through the current of pure energy that comes from pointing at someone and going "POW HA HA".

I like that image but think it's too big.

I just realized I screwed up one of my links. It was supposed to be this. Not sure if it's any better.

Okay, I really like the Mr. Bean picture. His expression adds a lot to it.

Too big?

Isn't 350 our standard width?

  1. no, 350px is the maximum, and not all images should be maximum width
  2. height is also a consideration; a "tall" image at max width can be much larger than a "wide" image at max width
  3. another consideration is how it will look on the page; big images look bad on short articles; e.g. Sandbox.Finger Gun Big, Sandbox.Finger Gun Small
    1. for that matter smaller images often look better period, especially images without type or other small-but-important details
  4. ceteris paribus, smaller is better, file size and resolution both

I really like the TF 2 pic. Seems more... direct?

The Mr. Bean pic is... okay, I suppose.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

We'll probably need a crowner, since it seems split between Mr. Bean and Heavy.

I'm personally for Heavy, since it shows him actually using it, as opposed to Mr. Bean just holding it.

I prefer Mr Bean, since he has the wonderful expression. Using both hands also adds to it, IMO. I like the version in #11.2 best.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I like the Heavy because of the visual focus on his hand. His expression is also nice.

And (while this has little bearing on the picture) it's a good example, especially funny because it can kill people.

Okay. Bean. Heavy looks like he's giving a salute or something.
