If I had a coin for every VR youtuber that doesn't know about the bullet in the chamber I would have enough resin to fully mod the Handgun.
I'd be the richest bastard alive, you kidding me?
You can't blame them if they don't have any experience with how guns function in real life. All they know is pressing buttons on the controller.
@@randir14 Either way, it's best to practice proper firearms usage even in VR, you never know when life throws you into a dire situation.
@@robertlucas1435
i personally think that might only be true if you live in a country where civilians have access to firearms (such as the US).
In most cities around the world, civilians do not have access to firearms or even ammunition, crimes involving guns are extremely rare.
for me, my firearm handling knowledge came from my time in the military. if i was not, i wouldn't ever have a chance to learn any of that, nor would i need to.
They don't know much about firearms it seems! I was surprised to see this YT do it
Also: Combines can see your laser and won't rush you if they see it
Would that be a Pro?
@Shallex he also didnt say it was a Con neither.
Oh that's amazing, I was wondering if the enemies would react to your laser, hell yeah :D
Two ways to think:
- the combine fear me
- the combine know where I am
The combine enemies don't rush you anyway. They basically don't have ai, they just stand still even if you throw a grenade at their feet.
I love how it starts as a simple human pistol, slowly gets upgraded with combine tech, and turns into the gun you see in Half-Life 2.

Very nicely put together. Kind of going through the kind of motions as in a normal FPS. I like. I also like how the pistol looks in this game, and that as you upgrade it, it slowly resembles how it looked in HL2. That's a REALLY nice touch.
i really did try to hold it like a video game! usually when actually playing i'd just aim down the sights all the time :)
Tbh i think for just asthetics the mods you would need to make it like the hl2 version(s) is laser, burst fire and for functionality, the ammo resivour
@@danielthebrazilian5023 the reflex sight too, as it gives the gun the bulky black look.
@@peppermillers8361 The Laser Auto Adds That Part, Where Would it be stored?
It doesn't really look like the HL2 pistol. The pistol in HL2 is a USP match.
the canon alyx gun is burst and laser only it would seem
The story between HL Alyx and HL2 Episode 2 is set 5 years apart, so it might be possible they're 2 different guns.

Usually reflex sights are very easy to use but please don't actually get that upgrade for the pistol. The default iron sights are much better, even though they limit your view a bit you can line them up much faster than the time it takes to locate the dot on the reflex sight. Also you can't "deupgrade" it back, once it's on it is on.
That being said the reflex sight is still recommenced for the one other weapon that can get it on. Won't say what it is because some people are really sensitive to minor spoilers.
YEETENDO DS smg
That implementation of integrated magazine which feeds from box mag honestly is amazing. Like, it's working as something that belongs to the real life, not videogame logic.
it's believable considering how advanced the combine/Universal Union is. Realistically though it has the issue of putting extra weight to the right side of the gun, which would make it unbalanced.
The lead artist calls this "mechanical responsibility." He made sure everything added to the game was at least visually plausible.
Are you serious? Why would anyone IRL use it consdering you can just get an extended mag. There are mags for 50 9mm bullets out there.
@@AntonAdelson those mags are usually drum mags and are pretty unreliable and heavy. Plus, considering that the Combine own all the factories now, I think coming across a C mag usually comes down to luck.
@@AntonAdelson I mean, it's working as a real mechanism, not just magically turning your standard mags into an extended ones. Viability of this solution is another topic, it's really kinda goofy and no one sane enough would do that.
Hope they make a Counter Strike mod for this Half Life game. It would be gorgeous!

Love how the more you upgrade the pistol it evolves into the gun alyx use in half life 2

Oh look, somebody that's not an idiot and knows how a gun works, Thanks for using the slide release button instead of always cocking and wasting a bullet
CDN 0128
And it gets really annoying when people waste a precious second by always pulling the slide and then die in combat

@Ken narville nah. Maybe in HL2 she changed it to 45 ACP, but I doubt it
@@peppermillers8361 I think it's probably rocking the same cartridge as the Match from HL2, seeing as 9mm and whatever the HK Prototype SMG uses are the most common cartridges around by then
This video helped me choose which upgrades I wanted (because I am stingy on resin) and now I have the perfect pistol! Thanks!
Edit: I appreciate how much work you have to do to make these videos.
Ahh I was waiting for video about guns and upgrades for them. Thank you!
Guys the double mag size is SUUUPER worth it since you instantly reload the last magazine in the mounted one you can just pull one magazine out if your under like 10 bullets and just reload one, really hard to never have bullets that way
Yea you can even have a third mag ready on your other hand for a total of 31 bullets ready. It's nice.
2:05 everybody gangsta till pistol becomes Alyx Gun
Nice, hope you will do shotgun and combine SMG next
The "con" of the bullet reservoir isn't really a drawback. From what I've seen the weapon's functionality doesn't change with the upgrade if you only fire from the magazine. Unloading the reservoir is an option, and options can't really be drawbacks.
the downside of the reservoir is that if you run out of bullets in it, it will take a bit longer to reload.
I found myself wishing i didn't have the reflex sight as i somehow became less accurate when hip-firing once i installed it. Laser sight helped with that but it took a while to get the resin for it.
The sight is best used for just finding the weakpoints on the enemies
Same, I wish I could remove it even if I don't get the resin back
Watching these makes me want hl:alyx so bad but vr is too expensive
THANKS for this AWESOME EFFORTS, Friend! I wanted to see the laser in action without any spoilers!
i have been avoiding all Lets play and TH-camrs' gameplay because i want to see if i am collecting Collecting ofr the laser is a good thing or not
On a future playthrough, I personally would hold of on the Reflex sight and save for the burst first then laser. I found it way too fiddly.
@@Kaiwala , Laser sight was my first upgrade for the pistol and the second time i played it, i chose extra rounds because it too much fun to load 2 mags into one puppy! the weight of the gun must be crazy with extra rounds but this is a game and not reality...
You don’t have to load 2 magazines with the bullet reservoir. The beauty of it is that when your current mag empties, you have 10 more shots to find time to reload it... preferably out of combat.
Looking forward to your video on the Combine SMG upgrades.
the way he inspected it LOL
I'm so impressed with the beauty of these models
From now on i consider it canon that Alyx kept the fully upgraded pistol. That´s the one she uses in HL2.
i like that most of the upgrades here aren’t much of a straight damage boosts but rather into making you more comfortable for aiming and utility
A nicely made video. Can’t wait for the other weapon mod showcase
So nice to see who knows how handguns work and who doesnt. Thank god Valve does now.
Thank u, i was searching for the firemode changebutton xD, and now i know how to use the burst mode 👌🏻
1:35 Woah woah muzzle control, muzzle control!
I had no idea how to enable burst fire.. glad I watched this :-)
1:05 reflex sight
1:56 burst fire
2:41 bullet reservoir
3:21 laser sight
3:57 fully upgraded
I think another con for the laser sight is that you need to have good eyesight to use it for far targets
Best thing about the bullet reservoir is you can always have at least 9 bullets in the pistol without throwing away partially used mags.
So to fully recreate Alyx's gun in HL2, you need the laser sight and burst fire.
you need all the upgrades.
@@peppermillers8361 Don't recall Alyx's gun having a box of bullets bolted to the side or a hologram on top in HL2.
@@wasdwazd maybe the hologram can be turned off and she has it off during HL2? And she 100% percent had burst fire, as she usually shot her pistol in three round bursts in HL2.
@@peppermillers8361 Reread my original comment. But I can believe that.
I wouldn't say pistol's "longer reload" is an con, remember it is optional, if ya want You can just load One mag.
Laser sights finally make real sense in VR
thanks for showing people that they can use the slide release and how to do a combat reload, not many youtubers/streamers know it
The front iron sight clips through the rail cover/mod hub when the slide recoils, as the front sight is visibly trapped in the last hole on the cover. Valve, I beg u, pls fix. Also, you can still somehow rack the slide from the front of the gun even though it’s impossible to grab it when it’s covered by the rail cover.
Staying cocked during reload if you leave a round in the chamber is a Very slick detail. And having a slide release at all is an only-in-VR kind of detail.
The people on the streets:
OH LOOK SHE’S TRYING TO SHOOT AT THE CITADEL AGAIN
That is very likely the iconic 1911 handgun and one of my personal favorites.
Pewdiepie doesn't know how to use Burst Fire lol
4:17 the headcrab when see alyx with max gun at the begining: YEET MY SELF
The reservoir upgrade Cons is just that it's now bulkier.
Full reload does take longer time as the capacity is now doubled, but we don't have to always do a full reload. It's optional.
The handgun looks almost like it does in Half-Life 2 when modded, I say that as it's similar to Alyx's gun in HL2.
So this is how she gets that unique machine pistol of hers in Half Life 2.
3:54 “Cons: Costs 35 resin” lol that sounds a lot more spiteful than is should. I understand tho
I absolutely *love* that it beeps when the mag is empty but the chamber is not
It's funny how the laser sight upgrade adds what's obviously supposed to be a laser module under the slide, but the laser comes out of the guide rod instead
combine technology teleports the laser closer to the barrel
Thanks for the tips. Now i can use my gun to shoot and reload efficiently. Very nice.
I’m not the only one who vastly prefers the iron sights over the reflex sights? Also, I think the bullet capacity upgrade is the best because there’s almost always a round in the chamber so you can almost always do a combat reload.
I've not finished the game yet but I kinda wish I could take the reflex sights off the pistol. The weak point targeting is neat but it does slow down aiming speed.
Strange how they made it a burst gun in this game, and yet her gun is meant to be fully auto
I like how the laser doesn't come out of the laser thingy, it comes out of the Guide rod.
The fact that you can either rack the slide or hit the slide release is really neat IMO, you can do whichever is comfortable for you. Yes, post-2005 games have done it but if take Killing Floor 2 for example, you need a particular fast reload skill to hit the slide release or else your character will rack the slide instead. Here you can do both, of course this game being VR probably helps that a lot.
1:07 Reflex Sight (10 Resin)
1:57 Burst Fire (20 Resin)
2:42 Bullet Reservoir (30 Resin)
3:20 Laser Sight (35 Resin)
3:57 Fully upgraded (95 Resin)
there is no real cons in Bullet Reservoir, as you may just not load second mag if you don't have time and you will just use it as unupgraded pistol. BUT, you may reload when 11 or less bullets are in pistol as opposed to 1 or less - which makes it easier to choose when to reload and thus less likely to have to reload 2 mags at once
It also reduces those times you have 1-2 bullets left in the mag, and might be forced to dump them on the ground so you can be ready for the next jump scare headcrab.
Hey how come my pistol is a dark grey with a brown grip? Is this the pre order bonus??
do you have the valve index? i heard those who use that headset get special skins.
Falbere! Ah it could be! Thanks!
@@novamous777 Check in your steam library if you have the "Index Preorder Items" DLC installed. If you do all weapons will have a different look. You can click "manage my DLC" to uninstall it to get the original look of the guns.
So we can say it's canon that the pistol Alyx use in Half-Life 2, Ep 1 and Ep 2 is the same one 100% upgrade ?
This far into the future...and the 1911 is still going....thank you John Browning
The crazy thing about VR is that the people who want it demonstrate everything line this have to actually get a physical workout as opposed to just being really good at the games. That probably means this guy has been assaulted by scary, real headcrabs like fufty times to get this gun.
hla is the only valve game where you can ads with any gun and it not feel like a sin
If only we got the firing sound of the gun accurately modded into Garry's Mod, it's already in but..it just doesn't feel or sound the same as it does in HL:A.
I really like how the pistol slowly turns into the Alyx Gun
Not wanting to be that guy who’s like “correction”, but on the 1911 burst fire mod you’re hitting the slide release, not the mag release. Still a fantastic video though, very extensive.
you are hitting the same button of the mag release on the controller
Funny how I learn just the smallest things about guns in videogames instead of through real life experiences or qualified instructors and so on.
If you upgadre it only with the Burst Fire and the Laser Sight, this will look exactly like the same Alyx's pistol seen in Half-Life 2
when it has no bullets inside the mag or the chamber, a red light indicating you have no ammo apears under the slide
*time for inspiration*
I wish they have more guns in the game both for Combine and Resistance. I wanna see what would happen if it got upgrade with Combine Tech.
For example:
Crossbow
RPG
Colt Python
Combine Sniper Rifle
Combine Pulse Rifle
AK47
Tau Cannon
Combine XM29 OICW
MP5K
MP7
SPAS12
You can see it becoming Alyx's gun from HL2
thank you. informative and straight to the point.
do shotgun and combine SMG next :DDDDDD
:D
After receiving pistol; - "That's not Alyx one of a kind pistol... Look like a fucking 1911".
After the very first upgrade; - "OoOoh... I see :V"
Honestly, the Laser Sight is the most useful of all these attachments. Next playthrough it's the only mod I'm going to use, so I can focus more on the shotgun.
Noticed a small error when talking about burst fire, you say "double tap the mag release button" but it should actually be "double tap the slide release button". If you double tap the mag release button you'll just drop the mag out of the gun! :D Also when showing off the fully upgraded gun, you're holding it off screen for most of the time.
you are correct! i will add this information about the burst fire to the pinned comment.
After looking at some mechanisms, inspiration from toy nerf guns and hard thinking
I think the ammo resevoir on the m1911 might ACTUALLY be possible in real life.
The reservoir upgrade don't have any Cons.
Full reload does take longer time as the capacity is now doubled, but we don't have to always do a full reload. It's optional.
laser sight is a must for me, i rushed it on all other weapons as soon as I noticed how helpful it was
Laser sight + burst-fire = hl2 Alyx's pistol
yooo don't forget using the handgun reservoir lets you reload a full mag, without having to throw away mags with spare bullets and conserve
Do you plan to cover the other weapons in the future?
please do!
I found this in my recommendations just after thinking that I want to watch a video like this
I love games with upgrades.
And just for the low cost of 95 resin, you can upgrade your 1911 to a burst-fire smg!
Can't go wrong with the trusty pistol
Can you interact with the "spent" magazine? I assume Alyx magically summons full magazines and subtracts from the "ammo pool" when reloading, and I can clearly see the ammo count display thing on the grip, but can you pull out the mag, look at it, push it back in like you do in Tarkov?
I'm 3 years late, but I don't think you can put empty magazines back in. But you can with partially spent ones. But you can't put partially spent ones in your backpack.
I can’t believe how dumb I was to not realize that this is the same gun Alyx used in half life 2
