Jonathan had a lot to say about the weapons of Fallout London, so there will be a part 2 for next Saturday. And be sure to leave your questions below for future Q&A sessions!
Question for the team: Are gas sealed revolvers a good idea? - Thinking a lil about the Silenced Nagant, if it was so good, why weren't more revolvers silenced? Guessing it was an engineering issue for the time and how pistols quickly evolved to become semi automatic firearms with mags and clips. Currently, with US concealed carry rules would there be any virtue in having a gas sealed 32acp thinigie in your pocket, or would you just shoot yourself in the gentlemanly parts coz the safeties aren't up to much?
@@watcherofclassics Tbh it looks exactly like as if factory just grabbed museum collection and decide to copy any design that works. I mean, they couldn't afford a full blown design bureau with only survivors at first.
@@lankyGigantic Considering the individuals that made it across the USA after the bombs dropped, I could see a group of motivated merchants/mercs running a mission and caravan to grab the guns and transport them back to the factory. It's less than 131 miles - Massachusetts is 190 miles from E to W, for comparison.
Funny enough the idea of having radiation on a firearm fits Fallout like a glove. Reminds me when I was in reserved military we had radiated beacons which were probably working in their box for the past 30 something years... So yeah radiated items to illuminate things still are used to this day.
The Fallout London devs should add a rare weapon vender based on (and voiced by) Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armories museum in the UK.
But he and Irregular Dave, his Supermutant Assistant, engage in a violent and sustained attack if any of your weapons have been festooned with nonsense. 😂
@MaxwellAerialPhotography thinking about it, that'd actually be a pretty cool quest if you could rebuild a firearms museum in the process of recovering rare and interesting weapons.
I felt that the reason they named the rifle just a "service rifle" was a nod to New Vegas where the standard service rifle was also just called "service rifle". Especially since they took clear inspiration from other parts of New Vegas, like adding back in the ammo loading workbench.
And we have to take account the years between the war and when the game takes place. Post-apocalyptic survivor doesn't care what model it is, "it was a service rifle" is the most that he will know of it and it's good enough. There is no comparing between models III and model IV on the campfire, nobody cares. It's a rifle.
Handling a radioactive Welrod sight might be the most fitting way to do a Fallout gun comparison video. ^^ ("The Welrod's clandestine use meant that use at night was extremely likely and as such had its front and rear sights painted with luminous radioactive paint which enabled the pistol to be aimed in low light." -historicalfirearms)
Ah, radium. That stuff has a very fascinating and tragic history. My grandma had watches and alarm clocks painted with the stuff so it could be seen in the dark.
There should be a legendary version of the service rifle called "more tape" or "taped" that is just completely wrapped in tape like if it was a christmas present to the point where you cant see any of the wood
>Does a Fallout weapons video >Handles actual radioactive gun 10/10 commitment. Also, possible Q&A question: What's the most obscure firearm in the collection that Jonathan would like to see represented in a game?
He has the Keeper of Firearms and Artillery in the Royal Armorys Museum in the UK which holds thousands of iconic weapons from thought history resistance perk
Honestly, I would love to see a Ghoulified Companion With the title of "Johnathan Ferguson Keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history"
@@jeroylenkins1745 you could add him in at the Tower of London in the Royal Armouries in tears over the state of the reference collection and defending it with his emotional support MP5
@bosknight7837 sounds like an awesome idea actually make him in the way I mentioned in my comment to @jeroylenkins1745 and make the story that he is begrudgingly selling pieces out of the reference collection to pay for supplies/meds and each time you but something sniffles back some tears and he sells a special version of each weapon called an emotional support (X) which is a weapon still in perfect condition with stat bonuses in all stats.
Oh, this is an exciting one. I cannot wait to hear Jonathan’s thoughts on the very British guns here. Also, please can we get a Valkyria Chronicles episode in the future? Please?
Between the Royal Armouries channel, Forgotten Weapons and now here, I don't think I've ever seen this many Welrods in such a short span of time, which is an awesome thing to get to say.
Well if there's going to be Q&A's. We all know that Jonathan has his trusty emotional support MP5. Are there any firearms that come close in giving him the comfort he needs whenever Dave shows him another cursed weapon?
Just wanted to say, as someone who owns a No.5 Mk1, they were made by multiple factories in WW2 so not all had metal end caps on the stock, mine does not and it started life as a No.5
I would love to see the part 2 where Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armories museum in the UK, reviews rest of the guns of Fallout: London.
The only game that I've ever seen a Welrod was in Medal of Honor: Rising Sun where you sneak into Singapore pretending to be a German diplomat officer with a welrod being your only weapon. This thing felt amazing to use and it's one of the most under-appreciated guns.
Cutlery expert reacts to fictional bayonets is honestly a video I'd watch The welrod having a real radioactive sight makes it such an excellent choice for a Fallout game
Question for Jonathan Ferguson the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history... What's the best game he ever played that did not contain any weapons or firearms in them...? If he could not think of one, what is the best game for him that does have one...?
3:08 Hi Jonathan & Dave, love your videos. Just FYI, the 3 Chinese characters actually says "China Made" (from left to right each character literally translated to "Middle/Central" "Kingdom" "Made").
6:15 it is indeed the same mod; asXas is the creator and a few of his gun mods for FO4 were contributed into FO London, though some under different names. I've spotted the Crude Blowback, the Welrod, the Rifle No.4, and the EM-2.
For me it would be something akin to a weapon of mass destruction, like the lazy gun from against a dark back ground, or killys gun from blame, both small pistols that could destroy entire planets with one shot
It's always a good sign, when in the, cold open (?), we see Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armories museum in the UK, seem genuinely happy/amused by what he sees. Funny thing, came straight from a video of Ian shooting one of those Welrods, in fact, there was another Welrod vid by him recommended. It's all Welrods today.
I feel like it should be mentioned, for those of us not familiar with London, that FO4:London starts after the prologue in Greenwich in the vicinity of the Royal Observatory, south of the Thames. The Royal Small Arms Factory (Now found as the RSA Interpretation Centre apparently) is quite far north of that about 20 miles (30km) away.
O goodie: another Jonathon Ferguson, keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history reacts to game guns!!
It’s been years, and this is still my favourite weekly video series. All because of the man; the myth, the legend - Jonathon Ferguson; the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK.
I'd say Scaramanga is more of a nod to Christopher Lee actually using one during his time with the UK's secret assassination service than any film role.
Just watched the Forgotten Weapons vid actually! Which is how I immediately noticed the Welrod's bolt rotates the wrong way, lol. That said, the dedication the modders poured into gun realism really pays off if we're nitpicking about how far a bolt sticks out, let's face it. Stellar work.
Amazing. I am so happy you made a video for this mod. I was really hoping you would. And I cannot wait for the second part. The Beefeaters await you in the Tower of London.
Please Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, deconstruct & analyze the weapons of *METAL GEAR SOLID 3* before the remake comes out. So many weapons in MGS3 to react and comment on like;- - The Patriot's infinite ammo and drum magazine resembling an (∞) symbol as well as the tumbling bullets. - The EZ tranq gun based off a Liberator pistol. - Snake's customized officer M1911A1 and him whittling the pistol grip to use a knife for CQC. - Ocelot's dual Single Action Army and his revolver juggling skills. - The End's custom paratrooper Mosin Nagant with tranquilizer rounds. - The Davey Crockett recoil-less nuclear launcher. - Eva's chinese Type 17 mauser clone with her "bandit shooting" technique. - Tatyana's single shot lipstick pistol. - Volgin using his electricity to ignite and fire off 7.62mm bullets from his hands. - The Boss's quick ability to disarm and disassemble Snake's pistols. These are a few examples and there are so many more other interesting trivias and weapons in MGS3 so please Dave and Jonathan, please consider making a video for MGS3.
I do enjoy videos of Johnathan talking about weapons in video games, I was hoping there would be ones for Fallout London, and I'm not disappointed well done to the fallout London team.
I've been waiting for this one, thank you Dave and Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Fireams & Artillery at the Royal Armories museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history.
It's the radium used for the sights. Pretty common back then, as well as on watch hands. If you want to be horrified, read about the Radium Girls, poor watch factory workers who contracted radiation sickness from painting watch hands and duals with radium without any protection.
I was really hoping you would do a video on this mod's guns because it seems like a lot of love was put in recreating historical guns while keeping it very fallout themed
I'm glad there will be a Part 2, because they even have the "Trounds RIfle" (also exists as Handgun irl but in Fallout London it comes with the Rifle Conversion) and i'm sure all of you Forgotten Weapons Fans know exactly what Gun that is Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
Ah yesss! I was hoping you would do a video on this. If you're going to do a second video, you may want to take a look at the suppressor for the Service Rifle. It's... interesting.
It's nice while relaxing to watch Johnathan Ferguson the keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the Uk, after a hard days work.
@@Edax_Royeaux Why? By 2077 we would have spent the past 120 years advancing at a snail's pace, then the war happened and for the next centuries that dropped to no pace at all leaving the world looking like time stopped in 1955. North America can be "stuck" in the 1950's but Europe can't?
@@krashd As Jonathan Ferguson mentions in previous Fallout 4 videos, any WWII weapon would have it's metal irreparably rusted away and wood rotted away if left exposed or used over those centuries.
11:32 I think it's mostly to keep in line with other fallout games where they just name them in a generic fashion, ontop of the fact that they often wouldn't even be named the same due to that design philosophy of "no real guns" in the fallout setting. In the sense that no guns are meant to be the real version, even the original games did it with the FN P90 being produced by H&K, so in game it's called the H&K P90
I knew there was an EM-2 in there so the moment I realised it wasn't in this episode, I knew there had to be a follow up episode at some point. Looking forward to it. As for the Q&A, can I ask a question not directly related to videogames? There's a question I've been dying to know the answer to and Johnathan seems like the definitive person to answer it.
awesome as always, can't wait to watch this ep but I gotta watch it tomorrow. Hopping in early tho to say you really gotta show Johnathan the firearms of the Killzone series of games! Absolutely amazing weapons and tech design and I think he'd have a field day with it!
yayyyy one more part :D, I visited the royal armories several months ago because of these videos got me super interested in firearms, I even got my picture taken with the 1916 federov russian (assualt?) rifle
What I love about this, is that it is a mod. So there is a decent chance that they will take these things into account and change them for upcoming patches.
This bring up an excellent bit of story telling. In the event of a world ending transaction the museum would be raided for any weapons that still worked thus introducing firearms back into London
The day Fallout London launched I dropped a comment in their Discord server saying how much I was looking forward to Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries reviewing the games weapons. Looking forward to part 2.
Yesterday while in the shower I was watching the battlefield 1 reaction series, and thought it would be great to have Jonathan reacting to fallout London's arsenal... 12 hours later, here it is. ❤
I really hope to see Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries in the UK, I would love to see him break down and analyze the guns of Generation Zero, it has some great guns and I like the way they look, and function. Also the resistance trilogy
The Welrod is one of my favorite historical weapons. It's the definition of a specialty tool. It has one purpose, and it does it extremely well. I'm also 100% certain it inspired Hideo Kojima to make the frame locked single shot version of the M9 as a tranquilizer pistol in MGS2, and after that the Mk22 Hush Puppy in MGS3.
I think it's good to note that one of the loading screen tips says that its only a myth that guns are less available. also two characters mention Enfield opening its armoury way before the bombs dropped. :))
Jonathan had a lot to say about the weapons of Fallout London, so there will be a part 2 for next Saturday.
And be sure to leave your questions below for future Q&A sessions!
Question: when are you going to review the guns of Roblox’s phantom forces?
Question: what got Jonathan into Firearms? What set that interest in motion?
Sometimes, I wonder if Jonathan and the Expert React team would hop on a Left 4 Dead 2 match after they finished the episode, lol.
Question: What real life weapon, or weapon concept would Jonathan like to see realized in a game?
Question for the team: Are gas sealed revolvers a good idea? - Thinking a lil about the Silenced Nagant, if it was so good, why weren't more revolvers silenced? Guessing it was an engineering issue for the time and how pistols quickly evolved to become semi automatic firearms with mags and clips. Currently, with US concealed carry rules would there be any virtue in having a gas sealed 32acp thinigie in your pocket, or would you just shoot yourself in the gentlemanly parts coz the safeties aren't up to much?
The way some of these more unique guns got around London, is that they were looted from the Royal Armories Museum!
Also, the Enfield gun factory is still in operation in FOLon! They'll sell to whoever's got the caps!
@@watcherofclassics
Tbh it looks exactly like as if factory just grabbed museum collection and decide to copy any design that works. I mean, they couldn't afford a full blown design bureau with only survivors at first.
Royal Armories is in Leeds, other side of the country, mate

@@lankyGigantic I live in america, sorry for the misunderstanding.
plot twist: Fallout London is actually a huge elaborated effort to make mod guns from the Nexus community to be featured by Mr Ferguson
actually they did a video specifically on fallout 4 gun mods because they are that good

"Radiation is not to be messed with"
With a straight face, in the middle of a Fallout video
Without explaining why the gun is radioactive.
@@bilateralrope8643 not the gun itself, but the sights, due to the radioactive coating used for glow effect in the dark.

@@lukemendel8197 It’s a tragedy if it isn’t.
@@lukemendel8197Sir Jonathan should be either a vampire, ghouls or brain in the jar that rate your gun modifications 😂
"Radiation is not to be messed with" what a pertinent piece of advice for today's episode
Why is the Welrod irradiated in the first place? I'm genuinely curious
Early 20th century illuminated gun sights were lit up using radium. Modern sights sometimes use tritium.
@@TheKrispOfKrisp Radium paint glows in the dark. Handy for a pistol used in clandestine operations.
Ghoul Johnathan will host the next episode
Funny enough the idea of having radiation on a firearm fits Fallout like a glove. Reminds me when I was in reserved military we had radiated beacons which were probably working in their box for the past 30 something years... So yeah radiated items to illuminate things still are used to this day.

9:18 Ive only just now realized the Welrod's magazine is basically a usb stick with bullets
Does it require you to insert it at least three times before you get it the right way around?
My question for Jonathan would be how he got to become the keeper of firearms at the the royal armory museum
I would also like to know the answer to this question!
He was born keeper of firearms at the royal armoury museum
IN THE UK, remmember that bit
@@Luizguilherme-iz9yl yea otherwise how do we know WHICH royal armory museum
@@catnerdadrian7601 good point
There should be a legendary version of the service rifle called "more tape" or "taped" that is just completely wrapped in tape like if it was a christmas present to the point where you cant see any of the wood
Needs an over the top setting.
Plus the "More tap" version for shooting around corners
Should be since that’s what the original mod had. Unless they removed it
"Entirely too much tape".
>Does a Fallout weapons video
>Handles actual radioactive gun
10/10 commitment.
Also, possible Q&A question: What's the most obscure firearm in the collection that Jonathan would like to see represented in a game?
That version should probably be renamed "The Welrad"
That's such a great question!
Jonthan getting +3 rads per second handling that Welrod
that would of been so good if they put the rad counter on the side slowly ticking up while he talks about the weapon lol

Now you just need to watch Person of Interest, there was one in an episode.
Well if there's going to be Q&A's.
We all know that Jonathan has his trusty emotional support MP5.
Are there any firearms that come close in giving him the comfort he needs whenever Dave shows him another cursed weapon?
There's his Emotional Support STG 44, of course...

I was so hoping there'd be a special EM2 variant in the game called "The Ferguson".
Cutlery expert reacts to fictional bayonets is honestly a video I'd watch
The welrod having a real radioactive sight makes it such an excellent choice for a Fallout game
@ForgottenWeapons just posted range footage of that Welrod .32 an hour ago, for anyone who might be interested.
Yup - and you could hear it get noticeably louder as the rubber wipes developed a bore hole from the rounds that passed through it.
Is there anyone here not subscribed to both channels?
Question for Jonathan Ferguson the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history...
What's the best game he ever played that did not contain any weapons or firearms in them...? If he could not think of one, what is the best game for him that does have one...?
3:08 Hi Jonathan & Dave, love your videos. Just FYI, the 3 Chinese characters actually says "China Made" (from left to right each character literally translated to "Middle/Central" "Kingdom" "Made").
6:15 it is indeed the same mod; asXas is the creator and a few of his gun mods for FO4 were contributed into FO London, though some under different names. I've spotted the Crude Blowback, the Welrod, the Rifle No.4, and the EM-2.
I'd like to ask Jonathan whether there is any non-real/sci-fi gun from a game or a movie that he wants to be real.
For me it would be the gun from Beverly Hills Cop 3 that has a built in microwave and stereo.
For me it would be something akin to a weapon of mass destruction, like the lazy gun from against a dark back ground, or killys gun from blame, both small pistols that could destroy entire planets with one shot

The Royal Small Arms Factory (Now found as the RSA Interpretation Centre apparently) is quite far north of that about 20 miles (30km) away.
I'm not even sure if part 2 is going to be enough, unless it's like an hour long. There's so much cool stuff to cover!

I'm sure they will have a video about it but do both versions or one with thr original as it launches
I do enjoy videos of Johnathan talking about weapons in video games, I was hoping there would be ones for Fallout London, and I'm not disappointed well done to the fallout London team.
I've been waiting for this one, thank you Dave and Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Fireams & Artillery at the Royal Armories museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history.
Can't decide what I'm more eager to watch, the part 2 of this, or the original fallout video....
Good stuff! Thanks :)
I love how The Royal Firearms Museum just has a 'radioactive' Welrod laying around.
Sssh...we got loisence for it mate
It's the radium used for the sights. Pretty common back then, as well as on watch hands. If you want to be horrified, read about the Radium Girls, poor watch factory workers who contracted radiation sickness from painting watch hands and duals with radium without any protection.
Don't look up "Radium chocolate" either, people though radiation was a cure-all in the early 20th century.
I was looking forward you guys to take a look on this great mode.
Cant wait for the second part.
Do not limit yourself to two parts only )
I would love to see Jonathan review the guns from Crime Boss: Rockay City

Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
Jonathan didn't seem to notice the character chambering the Welrod the wrong direction.
If you are a fallout fan this is a must. Didn't expect to be this well done. AMAZING & FREE!!!!
If Simon Pegg played Doctor Who, he’d be Jonathan.
Never considered this but he really does have a Doctor look about him (complimentary)
Ah yesss!
I was hoping you would do a video on this. If you're going to do a second video, you may want to take a look at the suppressor for the Service Rifle. It's... interesting.
The excuse for every weapon that would be unusual to find in London: They took it from the Royal Armouries' Storage :P
Jonathan is so great! I’d love to see a portion where he shows an option or two of a gun a game could have included to be accurate.
please review the weapons from cod Infinite Warfare
It's nice while relaxing to watch Johnathan Ferguson the keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the Uk, after a hard days work.
Jonathan should have a look at the guns of SAO Fatal Bullet and COD Advanced Warfare.
Very excited to hear his perspective on the Tround pistol. I personally love what Dardick was doing and love any resurgence of it in new media.
More WW2 weapons featured in the London mod than actual bethesda lol
You really shouldn't expect WWII weapons to be relevant by the year 2237 anyway.
@@Edax_Royeaux Why? By 2077 we would have spent the past 120 years advancing at a snail's pace, then the war happened and for the next centuries that dropped to no pace at all leaving the world looking like time stopped in 1955. North America can be "stuck" in the 1950's but Europe can't?
@@krashd As Jonathan Ferguson mentions in previous Fallout 4 videos, any WWII weapon would have it's metal irreparably rusted away and wood rotted away if left exposed or used over those centuries.
Definitely looking forward to part two, since Jonathan's going to be brilliantly amusing over the EM2 :3
11:32 I think it's mostly to keep in line with other fallout games where they just name them in a generic fashion, ontop of the fact that they often wouldn't even be named the same due to that design philosophy of "no real guns" in the fallout setting. In the sense that no guns are meant to be the real version, even the original games did it with the FN P90 being produced by H&K, so in game it's called the H&K P90
I knew there was an EM-2 in there so the moment I realised it wasn't in this episode, I knew there had to be a follow up episode at some point. Looking forward to it.
As for the Q&A, can I ask a question not directly related to videogames? There's a question I've been dying to know the answer to and Johnathan seems like the definitive person to answer it.
awesome as always, can't wait to watch this ep but I gotta watch it tomorrow. Hopping in early tho to say you really gotta show Johnathan the firearms of the Killzone series of games! Absolutely amazing weapons and tech design and I think he'd have a field day with it!
Thanks for reference to Coppergate helmet. I had to look it up, thanks for increasing my knowledge.
yayyyy one more part :D, I visited the royal armories several months ago because of these videos got me super interested in firearms, I even got my picture taken with the 1916 federov russian (assualt?) rifle
This is SICK! Ever since I loaded up FO:LON I was hoping we’d see Johnathan talking about it’s guns.
You know a mod is amazing when everyone covers it. Awesome video as always!
I would love to see a review of X-Com 2. Also great review I liked the Commonwealth weapons
What I love about this, is that it is a mod. So there is a decent chance that they will take these things into account and change them for upcoming patches.
This guy going really deep. Would not have expected fallout london to go so deep, quite impressed how well they held up.
Very fun episode. Definitely looking forward to part 2!
Absolutely love these episodes!
This bring up an excellent bit of story telling. In the event of a world ending transaction the museum would be raided for any weapons that still worked thus introducing firearms back into London
Will you being more content with Ian McCollum anytime soon?
The dynamic between you two is awesome!
The day Fallout London launched I dropped a comment in their Discord server saying how much I was looking forward to Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries reviewing the games weapons. Looking forward to part 2.
Yesterday while in the shower I was watching the battlefield 1 reaction series, and thought it would be great to have Jonathan reacting to fallout London's arsenal... 12 hours later, here it is. ❤
Jonathan Ferguson is such a delight to watch.
I really hope to see Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries in the UK, I would love to see him break down and analyze the guns of Generation Zero, it has some great guns and I like the way they look, and function.
Also the resistance trilogy
would love to see an EDF 6 episode. feel like he would get a kick out of the weird weapons like the new drones
The unique welrod being gold and called Scaramanga is a 10/10 idea. Best movie Bond villain, though I wish he was across from Connery not Moore
The Welrod is one of my favorite historical weapons. It's the definition of a specialty tool. It has one purpose, and it does it extremely well. I'm also 100% certain it inspired Hideo Kojima to make the frame locked single shot version of the M9 as a tranquilizer pistol in MGS2, and after that the Mk22 Hush Puppy in MGS3.
I was hoping this video was coming! Excellent
Amazing as always. Couldn't wait for next week!
It's here! It's here! The video's here! Been waiting for this since the mod released!!! Thankyou!
For the QaA, wondering how Jonathan got into his line of work as firearms are fairly niche here in the uk. Seems like a super interesting job.
very nice video, always fun to learn from a passionate person.
There's a corner shop in the village down the road from my village called "Desco". Stone. Cold. Genius.
You know, after the Fallout london reactions, next you should do Squad or Squad 44 (Post-scriptum)
Jonathan handling actual radioactive metal while reviewing firearms from a post apocalyptic game is peak
I love the quick shot of space marine 2 as you ask us for suggestions... Totally approve 😂
I think it's good to note that one of the loading screen tips says that its only a myth that guns are less available. also two characters mention Enfield opening its armoury way before the bombs dropped. :))
I really appreciate that from what I could see in the video, the tape on the service rifle does nothing, absolutely no change in the stats.
