  • Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, once again breaks down the weaponry of the TimeSplitters franchise, including a silenced Luger pistol, the Walther WA2000 sniper rifle, and a particularly cursed hybrid of a Desert Eagle and a Beretta 92 pistol.
    In the latest video in the Firearm Expert Reacts series, Jonathan Ferguson--a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries--breaks down the guns of the TimeSplitters franchise and compares them to their real-life counterparts.

By the way, did anyone tell Jonathan that the special quirk of the Monkey Gun is that it fires its entire 64-round magazine with a single trigger pull? Definitely not a weapon for the patient and responsible shooter, but ideal for something as chaotic as a monkey with a gun.

      It's also a reskin of another weapon in the game that fires plasma or lasers or something... through walls in multiplayer... and has a thermal vision scope (if not goggles you never see? I'm not clear on that. lol). It's called the "Magcharger". You see the gun being unfolded from a box shape when it's first acquired during the game's campaign, but it is always very quickly unfolded in multiplayer.

    Actually Johnathan, in Timesplitters 2 you're not holding the guns with ANY hands - both your hands are completely invisible. (This is obvious on guns like the SPAS-12)
    The reason for this is because, with the insane number of playable characters in the game, it was a way to avoid having to make a hundred different hand models. However, they did do this for the sequel, Future Perfect.

    Missed opportunity here - that red weapon with the monkey that unfolds actually has an alt-fire mode; you can use the scope-thing to see enemies through walls (heat signatures) and shoot them through those as well (if I remember correctly). However, in the campaign you only make use of it during one mission really, and if you mess up the stealth-section, you go guns blazing. Also, the syringe-weapon is used during the story to kill invincible mutants, injecting them with something that makes them explode. Yet another weapon from the campaign that kind of loses its main purpose in multi-player.
    Edit: Looks like my memory is a bit faulty. People down below have told me that the weapon in this video (monkey one) is actually not the one that shows up during the campaign (which sadly cannot shoot through walls), but instead a different one you can unlock. Well, what can I say, it has been about 17 years.

      You're thinking of the Mag-Charger, it's a separate weapon from the Monkey Gun (The Monkey Gun being a reskin you unlock from doing a specific challenge in Arcade).
      It works differently in the campaign, the scope only highlights electronic signatures (such as robots or security cameras) and it can't shoot through walls, but in Arcade/Mapmaker it functions exactly as you described, which is also how the Farsight works in Perfect Dark if I'm not mistaken

      I do really love how the Mag-Charger worked from a gameplay point of view, i wish it had been given a buff or some sort of utility for multiplayer where the monkey gun was always a much more fun example.
      a fun thing is both guns actually resemble the magpul folding gun/fmg (essentially a folding glock rifle conversion.... thing?) Awesome non the less.

  • @drewnames651
    @drewnames651 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    i gotta say: i think what makes Jonathan one of the more fun real world experts to watch reacting to video game equivalents of his field of work is that he not only brings his own real world knowledge, but that he also brings forth the very mechanics by which the game rules itself and shows to 'know' videogame guns as much as he knows real guns
    he isn't oblivious of how things work on the games and isn't at all against following the rules that the games put forth and giving his take and thoughts on what he is seeing rather than trying to directly translate it into real world when that just, won't work
    for someone who only sees the video 1 time when presented with it and instantly starts speaking on detail of what he has just seen, moreover of having this beautifully calm yet funny way of expressing his thoughts and keeping what he is talking about interesting...
    i just love the work of this man, this is a museum i need to visit at least once while this man is still alive just to be able to hear him speak of a gun that actually works like a gun instead of having a cartoon monkey for a sight.

      I always found that weapon to be annoying. It's basically a one shot kills weapon, but you have to constantly keep your aim to get the the kill. If you fuck up your aiming and the target lives, then you die. Even if you manage to kill your target, their teammates can just slaughter you. It's like a 1to1 or 0to1 KD ratio gun.
