It'd be nice if green shirt actually reacted to the video game though.. Dude just went on tangents just stating random base level knowledge facts. Kinda felt like hey look what I know personified in a nutshell which doesn't really fit the same formula of the last videos if you get what I mean.
In the first and second metro games, a character actually says that the Bastard gun jams a lot and over heats so it seems the devs know about how bad the gun may be
Yeah, the Bastard Gun is, well, a Bastard. But it's cheap and super easy to bang out, much like the Sterling or the Sten, so everyone just kinda goes "Yeah it sucks but it works more often then not so it's whatever"
I'm surprised they didn't notice that with the revolver, the character is having to manually revolve the cylinder. If you were making a makeshift revolver, that is the most likely thing you would make, because that sort of auto-revolving mechanism would be a bit difficult to make in a post-apocalyptic scenario. Very awesome attention to detail.
He only does that with the 3 Round Cylinder. They need to give the guys the Context given by the game as well. Artyom has a whole paragraph about every gun in the game and he explains that they used the gas seal mechanism of the Nagant Revolver so you can put effectively put a Suppressor on it and they make custom Nagant style Ammo but in .44 Magnum for more effectiveness against the Muties in the Metro.
@@CorndogCrusader it definitely is. I love how they made the guns at least *look* like they could function IRL with just a little bit Video Game Magic sprinkled in. Most of the homemade ones would probably not work too great but there's some serious effort that went into them
@@donnikthejedi2222 Been playing this game recently and got the double action 8 cylinder not too long ago. Paired it with the sniper stock and barrel and now I basically have a semi-auto Mosin Nagant with a 4x scope.
Oh hey, with the 3-round cylinder the character is using his left thumb to physically push the next cylinder into position, so yes he's got the 'half timing' issue but has a post-apocalyptic workaround: just push it into place lol
3:51 An interesting point. During WW2 in the USSR, silencers were installed on Nagant revolvers and they worked correctly on these revolvers. The drum with cartridges in the Nagan was pressed against the barrel when fired and there was no gap through which the powder gases could escape.
I wrote this in another comment here as well, in game Artyom has a whole paragraph about every gun you pick up. So they do use the Nagant Gas Seal system so it can effectively use a Suppressor but they make custom Nagant style rounds in .44 Magnum for more oomph against the Muties. They really need to give the guys in those vids the context provided by the game as well.
There's also special telescoped ammo involved. In the first two metro games, the ammo looked more like conventional .44 mag, but they changed it in Exodus so it looks more like Nagant ammo.
The character in Metro Exodus is actually special forces. They also mentioned jamming with the bastard gun, and it actually does jam a lot, that is why its called the bastard gun.
@@jeremyjd436 The SPARTAN Rangers (The faction Artyom is in) IS the Special Forces. It's a continuation of the SPETSNAZ named "The Joint Special Operations Forces Squadron of Moscow," SPARTA being a codename for it.

There's actually a gameplay mechanic behind the open magazines: if you have the game on the highest difficult it disables the UI and the open mags are the only way to see how many shots you have left.
19:05 yes, the Tikhar/air gun is quiet in game, and yes, it loses its effectiveness in like 6-8 shots if it's stock. Colonel Miller has a gauss version of the Tikhar by the end of the game and you get to use that.
Yeah, and I have to pump it every 2-4 shots just so it can efficiently headshot someone on Ranger Hardore But on the upside, it's the most silent weapon of them all, since in this game, suppressors actually work realistically, in that they just soften the noise but are nowhere near completely silent
I highly suggest starting at the remasters of the first two games and making your way to Exodus if you haven't played them. They all hold up and have similar levels of attention to detail. I love those games. So cinematic and immersive
Yeah I bought exodus but quit playing when every time I would open the map while in a vehicle my head would go through the roof of the car and I couldn't get out of the car without quitting the game and reloading. Super well made.
I like how they're constantly noticing how easy it would be for all these guns to get dirty, causing jams and such. That's actually an in-game mechanic: the more you use a weapon, the dirtier it gets, causing it to jam and overheat more often. When you get back to a safe camp area, you can clean the weapon to get rid of that problem, at least until you gunk it up again, so the devs were very aware of that. The larger magazines in fact were often more prone to jams, because of that problem, while the smaller ones tended to be more reliable because they were actual military style magazines, as opposed to, say, a metal tin that was "roughly" the right size for bullets that someone put a spring in and prayed that it worked. Also, about the air gun, yes the weapon damage is dependent on the air pressure. If the air pressure is in the yellow you're going to be doing crap damage, while if you pump it into the green you're going to be doing enough damage to reliably kill as long as you're getting head shots with it. You can over-pump it into the red to boost the damage, but the seals aren't quite good enough, so it'll slowly leak air pressure until it goes back into the green, so you only do that right before you're ready to fire on your targets. And you were correct again, it's used as a budget weapon, or a stealth weapon. It's very quite do to no igniting ammo or anything, and the ammo is much cheaper to get (you just need a minimal amount of scrap metal to make the ammo, while normal bullets require a little more scrap + chemicals to make the powder, if I recall). I mostly used it as a stealth close/medium range sniper rifle type thing, or if you were running low on ammo on low threat enemies, so you could save your real ammo for dangerous situations.
Actually, they're taking about the guns getting dirty from debris rather than just fowling from use. Carbon buildup from usage would stop a gun, but not that quickly. For example, I own an AK I've never cleaned once, but it's never jammed on me. I don't often go crawling though mud pits with it, though. If mud ever gets into the trigger or the lockup, I'm certain it'll stop. The jamming mechanic should happen when you get into mud or something, not just after use.
@@lttarzanman6452 I agree, it's not perfectly realistic, but it's hard to actually simulate that level of "how dirty, exactly, is the nuclear apocalypse, and how quickly would home-made guns jam in it?" Considering most of the guns in Metro are either literally homemade, or guns that survived an actual nuclear apocalypse, with no replacement parts or even cleaning supplies being made, I think it works as a mechanic. Also keep in mind you're firing normal, good ammunition, while the ammo they're using in the Metro games are homemade, and not the kind of homemade we can currently do. After all, with no industry left since everything above ground was gone, who's even making the gunpowder? It's probably dirty as hell, compared to modern ammo.
@@kedolan4992 It has been a little while since last I played exodus, but I seem to remember the condition of the gun getting significantly worse after you fall in water or crawl through mud or sand. Like I believe the weapon's jam chance increased faster from environment than usage.
The Metro series is so legendary. It deserves more attention and commercializing than it got. I've read on an online article, that a "[{THIRD METRO}]" ie: sorry 'edited correction'= actually the [-FOURTH METRO-] is in the works. It read that the developers are designing it to allow for co-op play as well. Would be pretty cool to stand guard while your buddy is in their backpack crafting and sorting supplies. I wish VR games would take the Metro Gun Customization Formula and go wild with it.
Wait do they have different stories? Because when I looked it up, an article said one was just a graphical enhancement of the other as the only difference. If they are completely different then I’m missing out on another Metro and am getting pretty pissed right now. So for my mental stabilities sake, are the games stories completely different? Which means I get to have more metro.
8:47 These kinds of magazines did exist. They were sometimes known as "harmonica guns" because of the profile. So the game didn't just base it on side-loading magazines, but on real pre-WWI and a few WWI weapons 😊
It reminds me quite a lot of the Benet Mercie machine gun, it fed from an open side loading tray or tape, it looked quite a lot like a solid, inflexible belt type thing.
The Tikhar is a weapon I've always kept in my inventory in every playthrough and never equipped a suppressor on any of my other weapons. Silent, hair trigger, accurate, and craftable ammo on the go, and the stopping power at full pressure? A stroke of genius. truly one of the best guns to have if you're playing stealthy in Metro
im fairly new to the game, so maybe i just haven’t got the best configs/experience, but i find the tikhar extremely unreliable. if i run outta rifle/shotgun ammo when i’m surrounded by mutants or enemies the tikhar only puts enough shots out to kill one or two before it runs outta pressure! and having to pump that thing while running is just not effective or safe. i basically only use it if i have no other ammo left. any tips?
9:00 the brits made the sten gun in ww2 as the cheap fast Thompson replacement. The sterling was a post war replacement for the sten which didn't happen until 1953
100% Correct, great catch! We got done recording and I realized I had said Sterling instead of Sten, and was like "Damnit! Ha Ha, let's see who catches that in the comments!"
"It doesn't have to be silent it's post apocalyptic world" Best and often only defense in this game is stealth (especially on hardcore ranger). U don't want to make big bang when you only have 7 bullets and you need 8 to kill anything that's running
@@czproductions it's just one of those things where I'm not personally interested. Don't mind hearing or watching videos about it (like this), but my personal interests is more culinary, digital media, and computer tech.
The revolver in the game is actually meant for 6 shots since while using the 3 shot cylinder the character has to manually move the cylinder because the gun can't do it on it's own.
I finished this game a couple days ago and thought to myself this would be cool af to see what the gun experts have to say about the weaponry next thing you know this vid is here what a perfect timing
@@capcom7794 and what you are a gun expert, everything paul said was pretty much 98.9% correct. even he has come in the comments and has corrected himself on some things he said incorrectly which was like two thigns lmao
I'm really sad that they didn't realize that it was an AK 74 and not a 47. it's a dead giveaway from the lesser mag curve to the more steep gas block and the modern muzzle break. Especially on the no dust cover clip where it had a krink front on it.
The French GIGN used a "sniper" version of the excellent MR73 .357 Magnum revolver. It had a scope mounted directly to the top of the frame, an 8" barrel, and, a bi-pod.
And even to this day, it has never been officially discarded meaning that there might still be GIGN operatives who carry the revolver and the conversion kit so that they can quickly prepare a mid-ranged sniping weapon whenever the situation requires.
I find it funny that he mentioned that the Bastard gun would jam a lot, when that's exactly what's it's known for in the game, thus why its called the Bastard gun
Great video! When it comes to the British smgs I believe they adopted the sten first. The Sterling was a post war modernization based on the sten evolution.
I love that he reaffirms the exposed magazine is gonna cause it to jam and malfunction a bunch, which is exactly why it's called the "Bastard" in the game.
WOW! That certainly looks like the best post apocalyptic game ever made especially when it takes place in either the Soviet Union or Kazakhstan! By the way I've watched you for a couple of months and this is my first comment. 😊
It is the best post apocalyptic game ever, I recommend you the whole Metro series (Metro 2033, Metro Last Light and Exodus here), very climatic, sometimes philosophical and action packed games
you should definitely check them out, Exodus, which is shown here is great, but the first two games are even better in my opinion and they're dirt cheap at this point one of my favorite game series of all time
I would say it is the best post apocalyptic title. U don't have those advance ui. The map is a tool that u read in real time which u can get attacked wile reading it. U need to charge your flashlight, night vision in real time, maintain your gas mask too as it will crack in battle. The monster designs also top notch. Don't wanna get into spoiler so i will stop here. You should give it a try.
Speaking of Star Wars, I'm pretty sure the ones at 9:14 (or something similar, I'm not a gun person) was the basis for the storm troppers E-11 blaster rifle.
21:38 I actually have one of those pistol crossbows, they're unbelievably cheap, (but they get the price back on the bolts, those are garbage so you need to buy new semi-regularly) and it's actually pretty powerful, like you'd think it's some dumb toy, but nah, this thing could kill a person pretty easily, bolt can just low-key fly through a pineapple from bottom to leafs, it's kinda scary. But also it's really hard to pull actually, the cocking lever in the stock makes it much easier, but I still usually sort of brace it against my knee. When kids from the family want to shoot it I always tell them "Only if you can load it." And it usually filters out the ones too young to use it even with me watching over. I also made myself a makeshift foregrip because it's just really top heavy, and if you hold it just as it is in the front you're risking getting your fingers struck by the string which shouldn't kill you, but I can tell you it hurts like a bitch. With that foregrip it's like primitively easy to use really, it makes it super stable
I think he was going more for the "A" buffalo part. As in, you're good for 1-2 shots, but after that you're going to be out of compressed air/the pressure would be too low. At least that's what I think he was getting at, since he mentioned you'd need a big ass tank of compressed gas.
@@kedolan4992 tichar defeats that criticism with a manual air pump though, the tichar functions similarly to old pump up bb guns where you compress the air rather than using a removable tank. And there's also leakage issues with the base model that have to be fixed with upgrades so you can retain air pressure.
@@ralcogaming7674 Oh I know, I've played all 3 Metro games, I was just saying that they were talking about real air rifles, that exist in the modern world, and how they're not really practical (I have no idea if that's true or not, just that they were saying that).
@@kedolan4992 most real world high caliber air rifles do use tanks as they said but people are experimenting with building metro style ones that can hit as hard as HPA ones.
I love how Paul explains everything in detail and so interestingly! I just bought Metro Exodus and this video got recommended to me, and for once I'm thankful to TH-cam recommendations
If you like M.E.T.R.O., you might also dig S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 1:22 Of course, gotta have the snapping shut of the revolver's cylinder. So Hollywood. 7:04 The cross-thumb technique is only useful with single-action revolvers or while firing double-actions with exposed hammers single-action style. 11:40 AK-74. 5.45 is the standard caliber in the world of M.E.T.R.O. 13:54 The Vz.58 has that. It also comes in two different calibers IRL, so a 5.45 version wouldn't be farfetched at all. 14:09 In M.E.T.R.O. 2033, it was an AK-74M. 14:56 Snorks in a game other than S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?! 15:19 The trend in games (more like a trope) is to have all reload animations based on emergency reloads. Of course, no one seems to understand that they're called "emergency" reloads for a reason. 16:23 The German word for that is "vierling." A triple-barrel one would be a "drilling." The more common types are combination guns, but since they're custom made, they could also be all shotgun barrels or all rifle barrels. 17:51 Yes. In the early 1900s, there were big-bore air guns that could be used to take big game. In the world of M.E.T.R.O., they use 15mm ball bearings which are comparable in size to 20-gauge slugs (15.6mm). 21:38 I have one of those. They're not meant to be used as weapons. They're just for recreational target shooting. The crossbow from Resident Evil 2 was based on one of those. It doesn't look right, though, because it looks like a standard-size crossbow, so the charging handle looks like it should be acting as stock. Of course, the problem with that is that it's not meant to be used that way.
Fun fact: the metro revolver is based on the Nagant Revolver. The difference is it’s chambered in .44 mag instead of .357 this is this way because they need the stopping power to kill the mutants. The Tikhar rifle is a full auto airgun that requires you to pump it in order to make it do lethal damage. Also fun fact: The main character of the metro games is part of the Spartan Order. They’re literally the remnants of Spetsnaz, and Russian Airborne. They’re a Small faction that kicks ass and takes whatever they need.
Thoughts on doing a reaction to Hotdogs Horseshoes and Hand Grenades (H3VR)? contains details that you wouldn't find in other games (spas-12 switch between pump and semi-auto, mp5sd makes the rounds subsonic, low power shotgun shells (dragon's breath) won't cycle in some shotguns, flinklock pistol blows up if overfilled with powder, SSA revolver will go off if the hammer is hit on a live round)
I'd like to see these guys react to the weapons in Killzone and how they're futuristic takes of modern/WW2 guns with a blend of both time periods in there.
For the Tikhar, yes, the more you pump, the more damage it does and with each shot the pressure drops so you have to keep pumping it. There's an upgrade that stops air from leaking when not shooting so it can stay at top damage but before the upgrade it will just keep leaking air so you would have to keep pumping it even when not using it just so you can be ready for a fight, it was annoying lol
I heard that one of the main guys responsible for making the game is a real "gun nut", so he absolutely wanted all the guns to have plausible mechanisms to work as depicted. As for being safe according to todays standards? Not at all. And many of them would probably jam a lot. But most of the guns would definitely work as depicted in the game(s). 😇
@@randalica92 actually if you look closely the bulldog is actually a svd or svu re cahmbered for 5.45 and overall modified alot, but the svd receiver is very visible on it.
@@capcom7794 I believe the bastard was originally designed to feed from a proper mag instead of that weird harmonica clip. But for balancing they gave it the harmonica clip so it's high fire rate and lots of ammo would balance out it being a turd, that being said I'm really upset the duplet wasn't in exodus it was my go to in last light.
To clarify the kalash is based off the Ak74 being chambered in 5.45x39 not the 47 being 7.62x39. Easy to tell is the curve in the magazine. 5.45x39 is way more commonly used in Russia today vs 7.62. Btw my back history is I’ve been in the gun industry for 8 years and in the night vision side of the industry for a few years.
The guy in the green shirt is so knowledgeable I love it. Some people might think he's talking too much but I enjoyed it I am fascinated by firearms and you can tell he is as well
19:16 yes, the tikhar rifle does get more damage the more pressure there is. Every shot you fire makes you lose pressure. The gauge shows you how much pressure you have. Green is where it is optimal, and get regular damage. Orange on the left of the green shows that it is losing pressure, and will do less damage. You overpump it, and the needle goes to the right, in the red. If it is in the red, you get extra damage and can fire as fast as you want without losing pressure every shot, but the red pressure levels down to the green over time. There is a modification you can get, called the airtight canister, which makes the red an extension to the green with the damage bonus, giving a good reason to overpump.
On the point of the gases coming out the side on the revolver cause from the fact it is able to be suppressed and it's set in russia it's likely the revolver is based on the nagant revolver that has it's rounds create a seal so no gases out the side of the cylinder
11:38 Guys, it's AK-74M (Kalash), not AK-47. You can tell it's a 74 cuz of near straight banana magazine, its distinct compensator and the recoil on it. There is no 7.62x39 in Metro universe.
I love how much the guns act as world building in metro, like the quartet is basically someone taking the A-shot and saying "what if it had more barrels" and just welding 4 together while the AK is just an AK because of how durable they are, in an apocalypse the 3 things that will always be around are Twinkies, cockroaches, and AK's
@@derekmensch3601 No, it's an AK-103. since the main caliber in games and in books was 7.62x39. it is even used as a currency in the first two games. and if you put the weapon on the workbench, you will see the inscription AK-103 on the receiver. and in the DLC Sam's story, the AK-12 caliber 5.45x39mm is already used
"automatically " - Well, it uses energy generated by your trigger finger, so not exactly automatically. (Nagant double-action is for people with really strong index fingers).
18:55 you didn't knew the PP-19 Bizon was a thing? It's an AK system based submachine gun in 9x18 makarov with a helical magazine with a max capacity of 64 rounds.
And Lewis and clark did in fact take an air rifle with them on there voyage. The only thing I’d add is the Lancaster is not a shot gun just a normal pistol.
I have to say, that Paul is probably the most versed in guns. He knows X amount of models from his head. And has probably the most knowledge of the obscure.
For the air gun (Tikhar is its name), the pump action to add air back in is used for the velocity of the beads that are fired. Thus, adding range that is lost over time and the speed in which said projectiles hit something. Also adding that this thing is church mouse quiet. Even with your suppressed firearms, the air gun makes almost no noise. I have this game and its two remastered prequels on XBOX One and can attest. Anyone else that's played this game, regardless of platform, can also attest.
In last light my load out was simple, tichar was my main gun, duplet was cqc, and the kalash was my "oh shit" rifle, you really needed silence in metro and tichar was so quiet in game that one could legitimately shoot one of 2 people standing 2 feet apart and the other guy wouldn't know.
@@Edman1024 hell those .50 caliber air rifles sound like suppressed rifles when shot. They're noticeably quieter than say a Barrett but they sound like suppressed .308.
The exposed magazine is there for players who have most of the HUD disabled so they can visually check how much ammo they have in the current magazine.
so guys i think the revolver the nagana revolver the cylinder will actually go forward and close it self to make complete seal but it looks like its been heavily modified so im not completely sure
I've seen take point and it's a pretty good ass movie, I didnt even know paul played in the movie. Its hella hectic especially the last like 15 mins man.
The AK in the game is actually an AK74. If you check the ammo description in the crafting menu it labels it as 5.45x39mm. I’ve heard the in game model has AK-103 on it but that wouldn’t be right as that would be chambered in 7.63x39mm.
18:00 airguns can be as deadly as firearms! They both propel a projectile. They differ as to _how_ If they did not have pre-compressed air but instead they used a built-in air compressor for every shot, it would have more consistent firing. (CO2 canisters lose power after some shots, after when there's not any more liquid CO2 in there to keep the gas pressure steady)
You are correct, great catch! After we finished filming I was like “Dammit, I meant to stay Sten instead of Sterling!” Simple slip of the tongue… So I was looking forward to see who caught it in the comments, there are a few of you!
Paul, Cameron and Israel should be interested in watching DayZ. There's a LOT of guns to cover, that we don't have to go into modded guns (especially since they don't have polished animations and it doesn't look right overall). They can see some shootouts, some modifications etc.
Fun fact about revolvers and the gap between Barrel and cylinder, Which is also the reason you don't see all too many suppressed revolvers.. Nagant m1895, though it had a real stiff trigger.. However, that's because prior to firing the cylinder presses up against the barrel really hard forming a tight enough seal to allow it to be surpressed effectively.
19:13 Yes, the damage does change with pressure, actually you can see in the short scene in the subtitles that if you don't pump it up enough you may as well be spitting the balls yourself.
Iirc the Metro revolver was based off the M1895 Nagant revolver, which had a self sealing breech. This was caused by the timing gears actuating the cylinder forwards onto a barrel lug whenever the cylinder bore lined up, and closed off the cylinder gap completely each time the revolver was fired. It's also why the Nagant revolver is the only revolver that can feasibly be fitted with a suppressor.
19:20 Yep, you can overpressurize the Takhir for boosted damage. You gotta take the shot quick, though; all that overpressurized air leaks out over time.
Paul just talks and talks seemingly with no end but it doesn't stop being interesting

I am pleasantly surprised you guys are looking at Exodus. One of my favorite games ever. Cheers!
Been waiting for this video. Lol
Nice to see fellow Spartans here. Or is this the Red Line? *primes Kalash*
same the whole metro series as a whole is extremely underrated
It's a great game with loads of details, we're glad you enjoyed the video!
@@amithabraham2224 “if not us, then who?”
We are all Spartans here, comrade
19:05 yes, the Tikhar/air gun is quiet in game, and yes, it loses its effectiveness in like 6-8 shots if it's stock.
Colonel Miller has a gauss version of the Tikhar by the end of the game and you get to use that.
Railgun Tikhar in New Game Plus is stupid good.
Tikhar in russian literally means "silent", it is a slang word
Yeah, and I have to pump it every 2-4 shots just so it can efficiently headshot someone on Ranger Hardore
But on the upside, it's the most silent weapon of them all, since in this game, suppressors actually work realistically, in that they just soften the noise but are nowhere near completely silent
@@randalica92 it's like you can confidently gun down demons you should be running away from good-
I highly suggest starting at the remasters of the first two games and making your way to Exodus if you haven't played them. They all hold up and have similar levels of attention to detail. I love those games. So cinematic and immersive
They would lose their shit when they see the Abzats.
@@randalica92 the only gun that makes you practically invincible
@@flyingtanks9313 from mutants at least. Kalash 2012 or Revolver in silenced sniper config is better against humans.
Yeah I bought exodus but quit playing when every time I would open the map while in a vehicle my head would go through the roof of the car and I couldn't get out of the car without quitting the game and reloading. Super well made.
@@comradepickles7607 You do know there have been tons of patches and stuff right?
I like how they're constantly noticing how easy it would be for all these guns to get dirty, causing jams and such. That's actually an in-game mechanic: the more you use a weapon, the dirtier it gets, causing it to jam and overheat more often. When you get back to a safe camp area, you can clean the weapon to get rid of that problem, at least until you gunk it up again, so the devs were very aware of that. The larger magazines in fact were often more prone to jams, because of that problem, while the smaller ones tended to be more reliable because they were actual military style magazines, as opposed to, say, a metal tin that was "roughly" the right size for bullets that someone put a spring in and prayed that it worked.
Also, about the air gun, yes the weapon damage is dependent on the air pressure. If the air pressure is in the yellow you're going to be doing crap damage, while if you pump it into the green you're going to be doing enough damage to reliably kill as long as you're getting head shots with it. You can over-pump it into the red to boost the damage, but the seals aren't quite good enough, so it'll slowly leak air pressure until it goes back into the green, so you only do that right before you're ready to fire on your targets. And you were correct again, it's used as a budget weapon, or a stealth weapon. It's very quite do to no igniting ammo or anything, and the ammo is much cheaper to get (you just need a minimal amount of scrap metal to make the ammo, while normal bullets require a little more scrap + chemicals to make the powder, if I recall). I mostly used it as a stealth close/medium range sniper rifle type thing, or if you were running low on ammo on low threat enemies, so you could save your real ammo for dangerous situations.
Actually, they're taking about the guns getting dirty from debris rather than just fowling from use. Carbon buildup from usage would stop a gun, but not that quickly.
For example, I own an AK I've never cleaned once, but it's never jammed on me. I don't often go crawling though mud pits with it, though. If mud ever gets into the trigger or the lockup, I'm certain it'll stop.
The jamming mechanic should happen when you get into mud or something, not just after use.
@@lttarzanman6452 I agree, it's not perfectly realistic, but it's hard to actually simulate that level of "how dirty, exactly, is the nuclear apocalypse, and how quickly would home-made guns jam in it?" Considering most of the guns in Metro are either literally homemade, or guns that survived an actual nuclear apocalypse, with no replacement parts or even cleaning supplies being made, I think it works as a mechanic.
Also keep in mind you're firing normal, good ammunition, while the ammo they're using in the Metro games are homemade, and not the kind of homemade we can currently do. After all, with no industry left since everything above ground was gone, who's even making the gunpowder? It's probably dirty as hell, compared to modern ammo.
@@kedolan4992 Yeah, I guess you're right. I kinda forgot about the setting of the game.
@@kedolan4992 It has been a little while since last I played exodus, but I seem to remember the condition of the gun getting significantly worse after you fall in water or crawl through mud or sand. Like I believe the weapon's jam chance increased faster from environment than usage.
@@lttarzanman6452that is exactly what's happening in the game though. Muck and sand build up in the gun parts.
my favorite clint smith quote has to be "the best thing about shotguns fights is you don't need a lot of ammo since they usually don't last long"
The Metro series is so legendary. It deserves more attention and commercializing than it got.
I've read on an online article, that a
"[{THIRD METRO}]" ie: sorry 'edited correction'= actually the [-FOURTH METRO-]
is in the works. It read that the developers are designing it to allow for co-op play as well. Would be pretty cool to stand guard while your buddy is in their backpack crafting and sorting supplies. I wish VR games would take the Metro Gun Customization Formula and go wild with it.
It would be a fourth game, don't forget Last Light.
Third game already came out. They review the weapons in it in this video.
I thought they were the same game, but with better graphics and such. When I looked at the trailers, it showed some of the same scenes.
@@deficientprozac7036 metro 2033 and last light are two different games that came out many years apart.
Wait do they have different stories?
Because when I looked it up, an article said one was just a graphical enhancement of the other as the only difference.
If they are completely different then I’m missing out on another Metro and am getting pretty pissed right now.
So for my mental stabilities sake, are the games stories completely different? Which means I get to have more metro.
8:47 These kinds of magazines did exist. They were sometimes known as "harmonica guns" because of the profile. So the game didn't just base it on side-loading magazines, but on real pre-WWI and a few WWI weapons 😊
Only issue with the one in metro is it doesn't mechanically make any sense.
hence why it's a bastard gun lol.
It reminds me quite a lot of the Benet Mercie machine gun, it fed from an open side loading tray or tape, it looked quite a lot like a solid, inflexible belt type thing.
@@Sephimius the Benet Mercie M1909 is one stacked tho unlike the bastard.
The Tikhar is a weapon I've always kept in my inventory in every playthrough and never equipped a suppressor on any of my other weapons.
Silent, hair trigger, accurate, and craftable ammo on the go, and the stopping power at full pressure? A stroke of genius.
truly one of the best guns to have if you're playing stealthy in Metro
CHEAP craftable ammo.
On hardcore difficulty it was the weapon to go
Just rack up your headshots and the tikhar will take care of you
Always found the helsing badass but it can't ever beat the tihar
im fairly new to the game, so maybe i just haven’t got the best configs/experience, but i find the tikhar extremely unreliable. if i run outta rifle/shotgun ammo when i’m surrounded by mutants or enemies the tikhar only puts enough shots out to kill one or two before it runs outta pressure! and having to pump that thing while running is just not effective or safe. i basically only use it if i have no other ammo left. any tips?
If these videos were an hour long, they'd still be an hour too short. The experts react squad for this channel is ON POINT
Hahaha great to hear you're enjoying them!
19:15 Yes it does more damage. When the pressure drops it takes more shots to get the kill.
9:00 the brits made the sten gun in ww2 as the cheap fast Thompson replacement. The sterling was a post war replacement for the sten which didn't happen until 1953
100% Correct, great catch! We got done recording and I realized I had said Sterling instead of Sten, and was like "Damnit! Ha Ha, let's see who catches that in the comments!"
"It doesn't have to be silent it's post apocalyptic world"
Best and often only defense in this game is stealth (especially on hardcore ranger). U don't want to make big bang when you only have 7 bullets and you need 8 to kill anything that's running
Not to mention you die as soon as the enemies look at you funny
Just to let you know on that 3 round cylinder for the revolver you have to manually turn the cylinder then pull the hammer or the other way around
Wont work
Are we just gonna gloss over the fact Paul said he can shoot accurately at 400-500 meters with iron sights?! That is fucking impressive
You should check 9hole reviews
Even though I don't plan on owning guns, I always found the science and mechanics of a gun fascinating.
How come you don't plan on owning one if I may ask?
@@czproductionsProbably because most countries are alot stricter then US about that.
@@czproductions Some country doesnt allow for civillian to own gun as well
@@Author_Paluthor Yes I'm quite aware lol
@@czproductions it's just one of those things where I'm not personally interested. Don't mind hearing or watching videos about it (like this), but my personal interests is more culinary, digital media, and computer tech.
The revolver in the game is actually meant for 6 shots since while using the 3 shot cylinder the character has to manually move the cylinder because the gun can't do it on it's own.
I finished this game a couple days ago and thought to myself this would be cool af to see what the gun experts have to say about the weaponry next thing you know this vid is here what a perfect timing
These guys ain't gun experts. Incorrectly naming things and looking up stuff on there phone doesn't help.
@@capcom7794 and what you are a gun expert, everything paul said was pretty much 98.9% correct. even he has come in the comments and has corrected himself on some things he said incorrectly which was like two thigns lmao
I like how the conversation of scopes so quickly turned into a conversation about laser sights and AR-15s
That's a typical gun nut conversation basically.
I'm really sad that they didn't realize that it was an AK 74 and not a 47.
it's a dead giveaway from the lesser mag curve to the more steep gas block and the modern muzzle break. Especially on the no dust cover clip where it had a krink front on it.
ye, and it's mentioned in game many times that the ammo is 5.45 and not 7.62 meaning it's a 74
The French GIGN used a "sniper" version of the excellent MR73 .357 Magnum revolver. It had a scope mounted directly to the top of the frame, an 8" barrel, and, a bi-pod.
And even to this day, it has never been officially discarded meaning that there might still be GIGN operatives who carry the revolver and the conversion kit so that they can quickly prepare a mid-ranged sniping weapon whenever the situation requires.
I want to believe when he said “Weapons and equipment From all- not that one” he meant about Vanguard
I find it funny that he mentioned that the Bastard gun would jam a lot, when that's exactly what's it's known for in the game, thus why its called the Bastard gun
Metro Exoduses guns are so freaking stellar. I’m very glad they covered this game in particular, this is awesome. Great video!
Great video!
When it comes to the British smgs I believe they adopted the sten first. The Sterling was a post war modernization based on the sten evolution.
Great Comment! After we got done recording the video I was like "Damn, I meant to stay Sten, not Sterling!" Great catch!
0:56 I love the “not that one”
I love that he reaffirms the exposed magazine is gonna cause it to jam and malfunction a bunch, which is exactly why it's called the "Bastard" in the game.
WOW! That certainly looks like the best post apocalyptic game ever made especially when it takes place in either the Soviet Union or Kazakhstan! By the way I've watched you for a couple of months and this is my first comment. 😊
It is the best post apocalyptic game ever, I recommend you the whole Metro series (Metro 2033, Metro Last Light and Exodus here), very climatic, sometimes philosophical and action packed games
@@domiiinik4320 Them Metro games seem so awesome aswell I might get those along with the Exodus one someday
@@domiiinik4320 it's a ridiculously philosophical game that makes the bleak world interesting, with ideology affecting how people survived
you should definitely check them out, Exodus, which is shown here is great, but the first two games are even better in my opinion and they're dirt cheap at this point
one of my favorite game series of all time
I would say it is the best post apocalyptic title. U don't have those advance ui. The map is a tool that u read in real time which u can get attacked wile reading it. U need to charge your flashlight, night vision in real time, maintain your gas mask too as it will crack in battle. The monster designs also top notch. Don't wanna get into spoiler so i will stop here. You should give it a try.
Absolutely love listening to Paul. SO much knowledge and an open mind to different designs seen in games! Awesome as always!
Speaking of Star Wars, I'm pretty sure the ones at 9:14 (or something similar, I'm not a gun person) was the basis for the storm troppers E-11 blaster rifle.
21:38 I actually have one of those pistol crossbows, they're unbelievably cheap, (but they get the price back on the bolts, those are garbage so you need to buy new semi-regularly) and it's actually pretty powerful, like you'd think it's some dumb toy, but nah, this thing could kill a person pretty easily, bolt can just low-key fly through a pineapple from bottom to leafs, it's kinda scary. But also it's really hard to pull actually, the cocking lever in the stock makes it much easier, but I still usually sort of brace it against my knee. When kids from the family want to shoot it I always tell them "Only if you can load it." And it usually filters out the ones too young to use it even with me watching over. I also made myself a makeshift foregrip because it's just really top heavy, and if you hold it just as it is in the front you're risking getting your fingers struck by the string which shouldn't kill you, but I can tell you it hurts like a bitch. With that foregrip it's like primitively easy to use really, it makes it super stable
18:52 it's the same kind of magazine as the pp-19's magazine , just if you're wondering
I appreciate the information, thank you!
I loved the "You can take a buffalo with an Air rifle, but that's about it." As if the buffalo is easier to kill than a human.
I think he was going more for the "A" buffalo part. As in, you're good for 1-2 shots, but after that you're going to be out of compressed air/the pressure would be too low. At least that's what I think he was getting at, since he mentioned you'd need a big ass tank of compressed gas.
@@kedolan4992 tichar defeats that criticism with a manual air pump though, the tichar functions similarly to old pump up bb guns where you compress the air rather than using a removable tank. And there's also leakage issues with the base model that have to be fixed with upgrades so you can retain air pressure.
@@ralcogaming7674 Oh I know, I've played all 3 Metro games, I was just saying that they were talking about real air rifles, that exist in the modern world, and how they're not really practical (I have no idea if that's true or not, just that they were saying that).
@@kedolan4992 most real world high caliber air rifles do use tanks as they said but people are experimenting with building metro style ones that can hit as hard as HPA ones.
I love how Paul explains everything in detail and so interestingly! I just bought Metro Exodus and this video got recommended to me, and for once I'm thankful to TH-cam recommendations
I highly recommend playing getting and playing the dlc once your done with the game
Really appreciate the feedback, thank you!
If you like M.E.T.R.O., you might also dig S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
1:22 Of course, gotta have the snapping shut of the revolver's cylinder. So Hollywood.
7:04 The cross-thumb technique is only useful with single-action revolvers or while firing double-actions with exposed hammers single-action style.
11:40 AK-74. 5.45 is the standard caliber in the world of M.E.T.R.O.
13:54 The Vz.58 has that. It also comes in two different calibers IRL, so a 5.45 version wouldn't be farfetched at all.
14:09 In M.E.T.R.O. 2033, it was an AK-74M.
14:56 Snorks in a game other than S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?!
15:19 The trend in games (more like a trope) is to have all reload animations based on emergency reloads. Of course, no one seems to understand that they're called "emergency" reloads for a reason.
16:23 The German word for that is "vierling." A triple-barrel one would be a "drilling." The more common types are combination guns, but since they're custom made, they could also be all shotgun barrels or all rifle barrels.
17:51 Yes. In the early 1900s, there were big-bore air guns that could be used to take big game. In the world of M.E.T.R.O., they use 15mm ball bearings which are comparable in size to 20-gauge slugs (15.6mm).
21:38 I have one of those. They're not meant to be used as weapons. They're just for recreational target shooting. The crossbow from Resident Evil 2 was based on one of those. It doesn't look right, though, because it looks like a standard-size crossbow, so the charging handle looks like it should be acting as stock. Of course, the problem with that is that it's not meant to be used that way.
Fun fact: the metro revolver is based on the Nagant Revolver. The difference is it’s chambered in .44 mag instead of .357 this is this way because they need the stopping power to kill the mutants. The Tikhar rifle is a full auto airgun that requires you to pump it in order to make it do lethal damage. Also fun fact: The main character of the metro games is part of the Spartan Order. They’re literally the remnants of Spetsnaz, and Russian Airborne. They’re a Small faction that kicks ass and takes whatever they need.
Thoughts on doing a reaction to Hotdogs Horseshoes and Hand Grenades (H3VR)? contains details that you wouldn't find in other games (spas-12 switch between pump and semi-auto, mp5sd makes the rounds subsonic, low power shotgun shells (dragon's breath) won't cycle in some shotguns, flinklock pistol blows up if overfilled with powder, SSA revolver will go off if the hammer is hit on a live round)
Paul is an awesome guest, he has so much knowledge. Great video.
I'd like to see these guys react to the weapons in Killzone and how they're futuristic takes of modern/WW2 guns with a blend of both time periods in there.
Nice to see an expert that seems like they actually know what's up
That was such an awesome watch! Exodus is a goddamn beautiful game.
Paul was a great guest, would love to see more of him. Him and Israel are a great mix!
For the Tikhar, yes, the more you pump, the more damage it does and with each shot the pressure drops so you have to keep pumping it. There's an upgrade that stops air from leaking when not shooting so it can stay at top damage but before the upgrade it will just keep leaking air so you would have to keep pumping it even when not using it just so you can be ready for a fight, it was annoying lol
Oh hey that's my dad! The old Irish special forces guy! Did not expect to see him mentioned here!
I heard that one of the main guys responsible for making the game is a real "gun nut", so he absolutely wanted all the guns to have plausible mechanisms to work as depicted. As for being safe according to todays standards? Not at all. And many of them would probably jam a lot. But most of the guns would definitely work as depicted in the game(s). 😇
They do Jam in game if I remember correctly.
@@EchoObserver9 hell the Bulldog (basically a modern AK variant) jams if you look at it funny.
The only gun that wouldn't actually work is the bastard gun. It mechanically doesn't make any sense.
@@randalica92 actually if you look closely the bulldog is actually a svd or svu re cahmbered for 5.45 and overall modified alot, but the svd receiver is very visible on it.
@@capcom7794 I believe the bastard was originally designed to feed from a proper mag instead of that weird harmonica clip. But for balancing they gave it the harmonica clip so it's high fire rate and lots of ammo would balance out it being a turd, that being said I'm really upset the duplet wasn't in exodus it was my go to in last light.
The green man explained "EVERYTHING"
More of him pls
5:29 "I recommand starting with an Armilite rifle"
European gun laws : How about no
F I will forever be great full to live in a country (and state) that’s allows me to own a real gun beyond a bastardized pea shooter
Russian government: how about a double barrel
To clarify the kalash is based off the Ak74 being chambered in 5.45x39 not the 47 being 7.62x39. Easy to tell is the curve in the magazine. 5.45x39 is way more commonly used in Russia today vs 7.62.
Btw my back history is I’ve been in the gun industry for 8 years and in the night vision side of the industry for a few years.
Thanks for your comment and the information!
You guys should have them do an episode on Deep Rock Galactic's weapons with the overclocks on em. I feel they'd like their arsenal.
A suprise to see metro here but great video, hope total recoil can be weekly release like this month cause i cant get enough XD
*I love this man and his gun wisdom.*
13:18 it's called a dovetail mount
In the metro universe colonel Miller who trained artyom and the spartan rangers is former GRU special forces.
The guy in the green shirt is so knowledgeable I love it. Some people might think he's talking too much but I enjoyed it I am fascinated by firearms and you can tell he is as well
These are my kind of people! You can never have too much ammo when shit hits the fan...
19:16 yes, the tikhar rifle does get more damage the more pressure there is. Every shot you fire makes you lose pressure. The gauge shows you how much pressure you have. Green is where it is optimal, and get regular damage. Orange on the left of the green shows that it is losing pressure, and will do less damage. You overpump it, and the needle goes to the right, in the red. If it is in the red, you get extra damage and can fire as fast as you want without losing pressure every shot, but the red pressure levels down to the green over time. There is a modification you can get, called the airtight canister, which makes the red an extension to the green with the damage bonus, giving a good reason to overpump.
On the point of the gases coming out the side on the revolver cause from the fact it is able to be suppressed and it's set in russia it's likely the revolver is based on the nagant revolver that has it's rounds create a seal so no gases out the side of the cylinder
11:38 Guys, it's AK-74M (Kalash), not AK-47. You can tell it's a 74 cuz of near straight banana magazine, its distinct compensator and the recoil on it. There is no 7.62x39 in Metro universe.
I like how these gun experts call AK74 an AK47
Well, they are experts.
🤓
I love how much the guns act as world building in metro, like the quartet is basically someone taking the A-shot and saying "what if it had more barrels" and just welding 4 together while the AK is just an AK because of how durable they are, in an apocalypse the 3 things that will always be around are Twinkies, cockroaches, and AK's
One thing I wanna say is the AKs in Metro are AK-74s.

“I hate when it’s unrealistic” yeah just wait till you see vanguard my boy
wouldnt the revolver be a nagant revolver where it automatically seals the gap between cylinder and barrel when you fire?
It isn't a Nagant as it's home-made but in the lore it uses that mechanism.
"automatically " - Well, it uses energy generated by your trigger finger, so not exactly automatically. (Nagant double-action is for people with really strong index fingers).
@@randomnobodovsky3692 Literal 20lb double action trigger. It's essentially single action because good luck accurately firing that.

Glad to see Metro Exodus getting some love! Also yes, the more pumps you give the air gun, the more damage it does.
i think this is my favorite video on your channel now :) Great game and great commentary
And Lewis and clark did in fact take an air rifle with them on there voyage. The only thing I’d add is the Lancaster is not a shot gun just a normal pistol.
I have to say, that Paul is probably the most versed in guns. He knows X amount of models from his head. And has probably the most knowledge of the obscure.
You may like Ian's channel, on 'Forgotten Weapons.'
For the air gun (Tikhar is its name), the pump action to add air back in is used for the velocity of the beads that are fired. Thus, adding range that is lost over time and the speed in which said projectiles hit something. Also adding that this thing is church mouse quiet. Even with your suppressed firearms, the air gun makes almost no noise. I have this game and its two remastered prequels on XBOX One and can attest. Anyone else that's played this game, regardless of platform, can also attest.
In last light my load out was simple, tichar was my main gun, duplet was cqc, and the kalash was my "oh shit" rifle, you really needed silence in metro and tichar was so quiet in game that one could legitimately shoot one of 2 people standing 2 feet apart and the other guy wouldn't know.
@@ralcogaming7674 indeed. A .177 air rifle makes more noise than a Tikhar, LoL
@@Edman1024 hell those .50 caliber air rifles sound like suppressed rifles when shot. They're noticeably quieter than say a Barrett but they sound like suppressed .308.
The exposed magazine is there for players who have most of the HUD disabled so they can visually check how much ammo they have in the current magazine.
so guys i think the revolver the nagana revolver the cylinder will actually go forward and close it self to make complete seal but it looks like its been heavily modified so im not completely sure
Yo that lake section looks fucking photorealistic and i was super confused for a second.
Brandon Herrera was here for instructions on thy AK-40
You could effectively suppress the Nagant 1895, since the cylinder pressed forward to the barrel.
Disappointed that Paul didn't mention the E-11 Blaster being based on the Sterling.
Just kidding, great video as always.
I've seen take point and it's a pretty good ass movie, I didnt even know paul played in the movie. Its hella hectic especially the last like 15 mins man.
4:56
"Do you know the maximum amount one could get inside a cylinder for a revolver?"
me, looking at the Caldwell Chain Pistol:
The AK in the game is actually an AK74. If you check the ammo description in the crafting menu it labels it as 5.45x39mm. I’ve heard the in game model has AK-103 on it but that wouldn’t be right as that would be chambered in 7.63x39mm.
18:00 airguns can be as deadly as firearms! They both propel a projectile. They differ as to _how_
If they did not have pre-compressed air but instead they used a built-in air compressor for every shot, it would have more consistent firing. (CO2 canisters lose power after some shots, after when there's not any more liquid CO2 in there to keep the gas pressure steady)
Damn, he even pulled out the clint smith shotgun quote, respect.
Thank you! Clint's a legend!
9:20 pretty sure it was the sten gun first then Stirling after that
You are correct, great catch! After we finished filming I was like “Dammit, I meant to stay Sten instead of Sterling!” Simple slip of the tongue… So I was looking forward to see who caught it in the comments, there are a few of you!
omg i did not know he was one of the soldiers from take point, I watched it a long time ago and this is mind blowing
Paul, Cameron and Israel should be interested in watching DayZ. There's a LOT of guns to cover, that we don't have to go into modded guns (especially since they don't have polished animations and it doesn't look right overall). They can see some shootouts, some modifications etc.
Fun fact about revolvers and the gap between Barrel and cylinder, Which is also the reason you don't see all too many suppressed revolvers.. Nagant m1895, though it had a real stiff trigger.. However, that's because prior to firing the cylinder presses up against the barrel really hard forming a tight enough seal to allow it to be surpressed effectively.
19:13 Yes, the damage does change with pressure, actually you can see in the short scene in the subtitles that if you don't pump it up enough you may as well be spitting the balls yourself.
Iirc the Metro revolver was based off the M1895 Nagant revolver, which had a self sealing breech. This was caused by the timing gears actuating the cylinder forwards onto a barrel lug whenever the cylinder bore lined up, and closed off the cylinder gap completely each time the revolver was fired. It's also why the Nagant revolver is the only revolver that can feasibly be fitted with a suppressor.
