I think a lot of people who joined the military and got to hold a real gun in boot camp said to themselves “It looks just like *insert game here*l” lol
When I joined the Marines back in 2013, the porta-potty at Bravo Range in Pendleton had graffiti that said, "Call of Duty lied to me". That will live on in my head forever lol.
I agree 100% and now psa is offering us a way for us poors to slightly clone the ACR it’s a good day to be a nerdy gun guy or even the AK with magpull furniture, also gave a lot of us gun guys a feeling that we NEED a m82a1 for no reason 😂

I know I wouldn’t be who I am today, without games like MW2, Black Ops, the Ghost Recon series, the Battlefield series, and the Medal of Honor series. Growing up around guns gave me curiosity, but playing those games made me want some guns (and gear) of my own.
It's crazy how so many of us have played the exact same games, I played GR Future Soldier too, remember thinking it was the most advanced looking game ever, still does in a way.
I believe the reason CoD uses fake gun names now is because California has a law where you can't market guns towards children. It is ridiculous since the Call of Duty is a M rated game in the first place.
Bullshit. They don’t want to pay for the licensing fees to gun makers. They can make all the excuses they want but I’m not buying that. CoD doesn’t sell real guns so that pretty much eliminates that argument.
There's also the worry of gun manufacturers being more litigious. I miss when despite being one of the worst companies in the gaming industry, EA still had the balls to outright say "sue us then" when making BF4
It's funny you mention airsoft. The devs used airsoft guns to model some of the in game guns. The S-System from JG is the M4 in MW2. And you can even see they use airsoft magazines in some of the cutscenes. COD got me into airsoft and into real firearms. I am still playing airsoft to this day as an older man now. I think a combination of video games and airsoft will continue to bring people into the firearms world. Even some of the big guntubers have been dabbling in airsoft (Admin Results, Garand, Lucas/T-Rex Arms) with a healthy does of video game references like you mention. It's the "that's my identity" meme you also mentioned lol.
I’m guessing you have a day job from your video frequency, but I gotta say I’ve always been thoroughly entertained by your content when it does drop. Keep ‘em coming! 🤙
Phenomenal breakdown. Video games are the reason why I now own an MP5 and a USP. You hit the nail right on the head. Another absolute banger of a video 🤘
This video reminds me of when video games and the gun industry was fun. Great vibes. Mw2 is 100% the reason I’m into guns and tactical gear. And the mission Cliffhanger is 100% the reason I started ice climbing.
You said it right on the head. It's unfortunate that I live in Australia, I love guns just as much as an American 2A supporter, but I live in a country where airsoft guns are considered real firearms just due to their appearance. Which is the stupidest thing in the entire world. And thus because of politicians not knowing shit about guns, kids are pretty much left with only like... Nerf guns or even those really cheap trash plastic/diecast metal cap guns to own, or those stupid ridiculous "sound and action" type guns. At least here anyway. Which is stupid. When gel blasters started coming in, the governments in most states except Queensland were quick to ban them because of a few dickheads using them for robberies, which in turn hit the industry hard and thus put a lot of people out of business. If things up in parliament do not change, we could see a blanket ban on all things gun shaped, even NERF guns. A news article came out a few years ago where someone had a Waco-esque standoff here over them, which is absolutely ridiculous. As an Aussie, please do not ever give up your right to own firearms. We did and now we're a cuck country who basically gave criminals free reign over everybody.
@@agent_espo Agreed. Especially during the Covid protests in 2020-21. Police firing rubber bullets at unarmed protests, and provoking violence at said protests. Thanks to John Howard and his pedophile buddies in parliament, we can’t even defend ourselves in our own home.
It is kinda wild tbh to think about the impact games and stuff had. From my earlier memories of nerf guns, video games, movies, I always thought guns were cool (I remember getting in trouble in pre school for pretending to be Han Solo 😂.) and as a kid always was kinda “patriotic” in a cringe little kid way and liked the 2a freedom we had. But more than anything I think fps Russia, cod waw, cod mw2 really impacted me a lot. I think also got my first airsoft gun around 10 yo (didn’t use them much) and shot my first gun around 11 or 12 and been hooked since
COD is the golden era of gaming ...the guns the location the PLOT THE FREAKING PLOT From MW2 to Black Ops :DDDD Look i want to see a Black ops movie!!! and unlike modern crap with soundtrack from face tattooed crack rappers COD MW2 ...HANS ZIMMER ....You know the guy who wrote soundtracks for Black Hawk down ...Gladiator ....The Rock !!! I mean the attachment we developed to the characters Ghost & Soap ...the hate we felt fot the developers for allowing that dick Shepard to do what he did .....Cold blooded ...but this was the fun :))))
As far as the build goes, I have other plans for it so this was a temporary set up. It was just styled in the spirit of MW2
Ok it turned into the BF3 M16
Well said sir
Let’s not forget the work that FPSRussia did to make guns cool to teens in the early 2010s.
We truly stand on the shoulders of giants
Still mad about what happened to him.
The ATF took that personally
I think a lot of people who joined the military and got to hold a real gun in boot camp said to themselves “It looks just like *insert game here*l” lol
I personally didn’t think that, I don’t remember what I was thinking but it was probably “I’m actually about to get an M16!”
When I joined the Marines back in 2013, the porta-potty at Bravo Range in Pendleton had graffiti that said, "Call of Duty lied to me".
That will live on in my head forever lol.
That’s still me when I go out and buy guns. Python is next on my list
A lot of us couldn't even afford anywhere near cloning the MW2 M4 but it is still the most peak aesthetic M4 of the era
Yeah the rail is probably more than this whole build
@agent_espo I still want one though. I've recently taught my nephew how to shoot my latest quad rail build. Check it out. It's a Shorts

The sgt Foley lines are killing me 😂
My 1st AR immediately ended up as an M4 Custom clone from MGS4, and that was almost 15 years ago at this point!
Honestly probably going to be my next build. That’s not bad idea

I appreciate that haha
Holy bisquick, that intro was amazing. HAHAHAHA, you even did the idle animations for the NPCs. Bruh, Admin and Garandthumb have competition.
😂 thanks man!

Thank you sir. Plan is once every 2 weeks at the moment
God the comment about Russians raining from the sky after the news drop of Putin saying the Alaska purchase was illegal makes it more funny

Keep up the great work Espo
Thanks bro
best video from the channel
Sad iw and cod prolly hates that they impacted a lot of us into becoming gun owners
Hilarious as always bro!
Great stuff bro! love the BF and COD cosplay, keep it up!
5:58-6:09 wtf did I just hear 😂
You dont wanna know
Love the creativity! Would like to see more of these. Keep up the good work 😊
“protect the burger town!” :D
They really worked that brother Ramirez 😪
it convinced me to buy a real A.C.R ,scar 16/17 and a kriss vector all set up exactly as my favorite loadouts
Lmao that intro is awesome
Foley: Ramirez!; ready to be dropped into verdansk. And make Activision pay for it.
Ramirez:😶
I was just 4 when og mw2 came out, been playing since then
This was so well done.
If you don’t have the complete mw1 and 2 gun collection then what are you doing?
Battlefield 1942 made me want WW2 firearms... Modern events made me want the good stuff.
Valid. I was a little young to get in on 1942
Regardless of m lok or whatever fancy looking cool high speed ARs people make today. Quad rail AR is still the best
