** ShayGuy: This is what, the third time it\\\'s been recced on here? I know I posted it and later removed it, and there was one back in January I removed for being unsigned. Anyway, be warned that there\\\'s a reason [[SmallNameBigEgo Perfect Lionheart]] is known as a \\\"[[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/40569/Skysaber Skysaber]] tribute band.\\\" Be prepared for EPIC MartyStu-ing, character bashing, mangaka bashing, FanWank, and the odd tantrum or two, and expect to facepalm repeatedly. And the Kyuubi joining Naruto\\\'s harem.
*** A Skysaber tribute band? Note that my only evidence from saying this is my own hunch after reading the fic in question, but . . . are you sure he\\\'s -not- Skysaber? Because he writes -suspiciously- like him. Right down to specific things - like opinions on counterarguments. Seriously, is there anything that doesn\\\'t mesh
*** Maybe your opinion isn\\\'t God\\\'s own, and you shouldn\\\'t take it upon yourself to delete fics you don\\\'t like instead of just leaving a negative comment. Mind you, my recommendation was not glowing but just to provide context to the many other recommendations that reference this fic. It\\\'s 95% crap, but the 5% moments can be hilarious. (--the Anonymous contributor whose recommendation you had the galling ego to delete.)
**** Anonymous recs are always deleted. Period. Its right there on the FF rec page. Get over yourself.
** Sarah1281: There\\\'s bashing and then there\\\'s what this story does to Team Seven. It\\\'s a groundhog day story so he doesn\\\'t remember, but (bolded by topic for ease of reading) \\\'\\\'\\\'Sasuke\\\'\\\'\\\' has had both of his eyes gouged out so Naruto and his harem can steal everyone\\\'s techniques (but it\\\'s okay when they do it because they take the time to actually learn them after stealing) over and over again. He\\\'s been viciously murdered by Itachi and had his mouth stuffed with poo because Naruto starts a rumor about the Uchiha involving poo. He\\\'s had Ino go into his mind and discover that he has not a single redeeming feature at all. And then there\\\'s \\\'\\\'\\\'Kakashi\\\'\\\'\\\'. While he does, in fact, have maybe one redeeming quality -- loyalty to Konoha -- he has joined Sasuke in routinely getting his eye gouged out because Naruto and harem (despite having literally all the time in the world) can\\\'t be bothered to learn the techniques themselves. He\\\'s killed Naruto for embarrassing Sasuke. \\\'\\\'\\\'Jiraiya\\\'\\\'\\\' has no redeeming features either, but at least he\\\'s relegated to the sidelines as he isn\\\'t seen as evil, just perverted and useless. \\\'\\\'\\\'All the girls around Naruto\\\'\\\'\\\' realize that he\\\'s the most amazing being ever and no man could ever compare to him (probably the centuries of time he has on them) and he\\\'s married to everyone from Ayame to Tsunade. \\\'\\\'\\\'Everyone who isn\\\'t either a ninja or in the ramen business\\\'\\\'\\\' has apparently conspired to ruin Naruto\\\'s life every chance they get and if things were really even remotely that bad, the Hokage would be forced to do something to prevent Naruto from noticing and killing them all. Which he did in at least one loop -- to be fair, that was when Hinata died, but given he knew he was minutes or hours away from looping back and seeing her, was removing the seal from the Kyuubi even remotely necessary? Destroying the entire village for the death of one girl is not very hero-like in my book. \\\'\\\'\\\'Poor Sakura\\\'\\\'\\\' has been so broken down once she joined the loop by realizing that Sasuke is an idiotic sociopath and all the girls hated her for not realizing how amazing Naruto was (although to be fair to her, the author made it quite clear that the village had done such a good job of screwing Naruto over that the Naruto Sakura expected to see was someone to be avoided) that she volunteered to let Naruto abuse her sexually because she wanted some semblance of peace and an escape from the hatred. Asking Naruto to kill the self she was then by releasing her from the loop was what was needed for Naruto to \\\'\\\'forgive\\\'\\\' her. Although why SHE needed to be forgiven anything and Naruto recruited the likes of Kin and Tayuya into his harem basically just because they were both girls is beyond me.
** Shiruvi: I can\\\'t fathom why this fic is so popular. Never mind the wasted potential in the story, or the butchering of two of my favourite characters (Sasuke and Neji), the author\\\'s attitudes towards Kishimoto and the very \\\'\\\'concept of constructive criticism\\\'\\\' is just arrogant. I\\\'ve read all 70+ chapters and I can honestly say his writing is much, \\\'\\\'much\\\'\\\' worse then Kishimoto. Entire arcs are devoted to exposition, including one that was just explaining why monks or samurai or something were so much better then ninjas. I don\\\'t know, it all just blurs together after a while. And the above reviewer forgot something; Naruto cheerfully wipes out the entire Hyuuga clan in several resits via their seals. That\\\'s right, he pulls an Itachi but with no motivation other then they were mean to Hinata or something. SoYeah, a perfect example of how the number of reviews =/= a good fanfic. [[{{ArsonMurderAndJaywalking}} Also it\\\'s kinda dull]].

So perhaps if someone pulls out a SAA and the scene is supposed to make us go \\\"wow, he\\\'s got a big gun now\\\" it counts, but not just \\\'\\\'because\\\'\\\' it\\\'s a specific make of gun or specific calibre. Most Westerns just have it as the gun you have because you\\\'re a cowboy, so wouldn\\\'t really qualify. This would tend to discount non-custom versions of the 1911 (ie ones without giant ported compensators) because it\\\'s most people\\\'s idea of a normally-sized gun. But if a time-traveller pulls it on group of medieval knights, then it might end up being an example. Especially because they\\\'d probably call it the name of this Trope anyway.
