  • Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the weaponry of Far Cry 6, including the Exterminador, a backpack full of rockets, and the Discos Locos, a CD launcher that plays the Macarena.
    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 Far Cry 6 and compares them to their real-life counterparts.

I've seen them in that cut-down configuration in pictures online, and upon looking it up, it turns out that configuration (the OTs-62) is meant to be used with less-lethal 12-gauge rounds for law enforcement. Pretty neat, and fits with the recurring theme of a lot of Soviet and Russian guns.

Given its history in the Salvadoran Civil War and Portugal in the Colonial Wars, Its not only a realistic weapon for Far Cry 6; but also Far Cry 2’s setting.

    • @roberttrester4030
      @roberttrester4030 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      *IM NOT SURPRISED BY THIS BUT* One thing they got wrong with the hk 21 in game model is the links. If you look the links are coming out of the weapon right side up like an M60 or most LMGs that use disintegrating links. BUT on the hk 21 platform the links face downward. On most LMGs that use those links there is a saying brass to the grass meaning keeping the links facing upward and the bass downward when loading. But the HK 21 has a slightly different feed mechanism where you would place the brass upward or towards the sky and the links downward.
      You can actually see this if you look at his cutaway HK21 the brass is facing upward and the links are facing downward.
      It's a sight mistake but as a gunsmith I couldn't miss it. LOL all these games end up having very slight problems most normally like this one that really don't matter to much.
