  • Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the weaponry of Deathloop, including a pair of pistols that transform into a submachine gun, a shotgun with 2 magazines, and Colt’s trusty sidearm, the Limp-10.
    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 Deathloop and compares them to their real-life counterparts.

      @MarvinCZ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      @@danielmyers-cowan3416 No, Jonathan refers to real life physics and the known set of dimensions. Even theoretical actions need to do a known set of things. Mainly, get the cartridge from the magazine and in line with the barrel. Then contain the explosion and possibly eject if there is a case.
      Many times he says "you could make it work" - as in, it doesn't seem like any known action but you could conceivably design an action in the provided space and with the visible bits that would work.
      When Jonathan says something couldn't work, it's because there is just no physical way for it to work. No trajectory for the cartridge to get from the magazine to the barrel, no room for even the bare minimum of "stuff" you would need for it to work, etc.

    For the combining gyrojet pistols, they have two unused holes on the sides next to the barrels, and when you combine them they're at a 90º angle firing through those extra ports, that's how it gets the more then 2 shots in a burst.

    That was about the reaction I expected to the transforming shotgun. Arkane strikes me as a "gameplay first" style of developer so I would guess that they decided what kinds of guns they wanted and then gave the artists free reign to make them as artistically interesting as possible. They definitely succeeded in that department. Pretty much every gun, except for the sniper rifle, I've seen in Deathloop has some wierd and crazy animations.

      What I see is both guns having two over and under barrels in actual use and two side by side tubes combining into a cross pattern. So a read gun is firing through those tubes as they are misaligned. So it provides neither longer barrel benefit(as it's a recoilless gun, it won't win much over elongating the barrel and all of that would probably be eaten by more friction said barrel provides. Unless the ammo is designed for longer barrel by default and thus is wasting power in pistol configuration), nor increased rate of fire.
      So what's the point?
      Apparently stability of you now having two resting points for the gun to balance upon and longer sight picture.
      The real problem is backblast into your own face.

    There is a historical example of the "topping up" automatic weapon concept, although not a magazine fed machine pistol. Japanese Type 11 Light Machine Gun uses a hopper where you horizontally place standard issue 6.5mm Arisaka stripper clips, with the idea of not needing to supply separate belts (mostly canvas at that time). It simplified logistics, made ammo carrying easier and allowed the MG to be topped up by regular infantrymen if need be, also allowed a lower volume, but continuous fire, with the idea that throwing in additional clips will dissipate the reload time, instead of having a continuous burst followed by downtime.

    In defense of the Heritage Gun (the transforming lever action shotgun) something that gamespot seems to have not known/not told Jonathan is that the firing of the green goop is actually a randomized perk and isnt reflected in the gun's design whatsoever. By default, it switches between a buckshot and a single slug, which still wouldnt require the entire thing to transform, but my guess is that the smooth and sleek mode visually reflect a single precise shot and the fun techy mode has many bits poking out of hit to subconsciously convey how it shoots many pellets. Still isn't realistic but it makes more sense in terms of design language

    1:45, slight addendum Jonathan, Cobalt Kinetics actually developed a system called C.A.R.S. (Cobalt Advantage Reloading System) for the AR-15 pattern which would drop the magazine from the rifle after the final round had been fired and the bolt locked open, as well as drop the bolt when a fresh mag was inserted. This was marketed towards 3-gun competition shooters to allow for faster reloads in an environment where mag retention doesn't matter. I don't know if this was ever put into large-scale production, but I believe their prototypes worked quite well.

    As much as I love the games like death loop that Jonathan reviews I would prefer more games like squad arma, payday, GTA and other games that use realistic models and firearms as it gives jonathan a motive to dissect the little details of the guns rather than just pointing out that they're obviously wack as fuck, maybe even possibly mods. I feel like when it's about the nitty-gritty details it educates us more and opens our eyes to the level of detail that goes into making a videogame firearm.

  • @moldypotato4656
    @moldypotato4656 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The pistol/smg is actually really cool. It has four barrels in each pistol, two over/under barrels that actually fire and two barrels on the side that extend all the way through the gun and out the back. By mating one gun to the back of the other at a 90 degree angle it allows the rear gun to fire its over/under barrels through the two side barrels of the front gun. The rear exhaust of the front gun can also travel through the two side barrels of the rear gun. The pistols normally fire a two round burst and when you put them together you can effectively fire a four round burst by just pulling both triggers at once.

    I used to hunt with a 1-shot Henry shotgun, I have to say: the release lever was buttery smooth! To my thumb it felt like moving a salt shaker across a well varnished wooden table, hardly felt it. I'm curious to know why Jonathan thinks it much more difficult. As in which guns have you handled which gave you trouble, and could it be that the action merely was not oiled to the optimum level? The "...assist the break open with your left hand..." is entirely right, though I will say, my Henry had a 6 lbs...barrel 😂 The loading breech metal was almost half an inch thick while the barrel steel was around a 1/3rd. If I hadn't given it away, I would have been able to have that gun in my family for 10,000 years 😅

    The two handguns are actually inserted at a 90° cant to one another. Each handgun actually has 4 barrels. 2 fire the actual round and the other 2 are simply extensions.
    So the rear handgun barrels dock into the extension barrels of the front handgun and the front handgun barrels dock into the rear extension barrels.
    Combined, looking at the ammo counter, each burst fires 4 rounds.

  • @Samarai-hf9si

    The only other game I can think of with a multi-magazine weapon that automatically ejects empty ones is from the "Hideous Destructor" GZDoom mod, though there the automatic ejection makes slightly more sense.
    The "Vulcanette" is a 4.26mm caseless man-portable minigun firing from 50 round magazines. These are the same magazines as the ""standard"" assault rifle, the ZM66, but the vulc loads FIVE of them. It's not really explained how it works, nor can you really see it ingame, (despite the level of complexity and immersion, it still remains mostly-faithful to the visuals of the game its built on) but as you empty one magazine, it ejects, the vulc loads from the next, and continues until its totally empty.
    The reason it makes some sense in-universe that the magazines automatically eject is due to the flaws of caseless ammo. Each 4.26mm magazine is vacuum-sealed and that seal is broken when inserting one into a gun, but it still remains 'sealed' with the gun its inserted into until its ejected. This is to help avoid reliability issues with the caseless ammo (note: the ZM66 is still notoriously prone to jamming in ideal circumstances) and also make it very clear that YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO REPACK CASELESS AMMO. (you can do it, but you have to be very careful, the 4.26mm rounds might just pop in your character's fingers) Since magazines are not meant to be retained, straight-up dumping them out of the gun automatically to allow new ones to be loaded faster does actually help a little in practice.

    I watched video frame-by-frame to understand how shotgun with 2 drum mags works.
    So, each mag is a full circle with a cutout slot from side to center. It's inserted using this cutout and rotates around its center. So far so good.
    Each chamber in a mag has tiny door that probably opens to allow the shell out or some other operation way, who knows. But that allows carridge to fire. So not so unrealistic as it can look at first glance.
