Short answer: Yes the mp155 shown in game does exist, its called the mp 155 ultima smart shotgun and most definitely has that cursed thermal inside of it. Tarkov loves to put obscure guns in their game hahaha
@@danialyousaf6456 i know, but thats what makes it obscure haha, most games tend to use weapons from a couple years old, not stuff that released yesterday
"It's happening again!" Sure these franken-weapons might have no practical value whatsoever in the real world, but I will admit it's impressive the amount of customisation this game has when you alter the weapons. The only other series I can think of which let you do crazy stuff like that was Army of Two, back in the day. *whips out ridiculously over-customised pistol* "Oh my God...for the love of God!"
Army of 2…. Shit you just unlocked some memories I forgot about. Me and my dad beat that game 100% together and I forgot just how good and customizable the weapons were. Especially for the time

You should see some mallninjas tacticool weapons that are out there irl...
one of the best things about tarkov: you could have been playing the game for years and have the most modified and most tactical AK which can one shot drop anyone and will laser you across the map and have full tier IV body armour, but someone with a makarov PM who just spawned in as a scav can still one shot you. i love that.
@@oh-not-the-bees7872 it’s not really that bad because you still have so many advantages with such high level gear, and if you use them right you’ll usually come out on top, the thing is that if you don’t exploit those advantages you can still get your ass capped easy by someone who knows what they’re doing.
@@ronkledonkanusmoncher564 As it should be. Relies on player skill instead of just "having the biggest shiniest equipment = automatic win" that most multiplayer games suffer from.
the MP-155 Ultima is indeed being sold as having a small thermal sight thingy. it also records video and counts your shots, among many other questionably useful features
@@StressmanFIN There have been a few attempts over the years to market a round counter. Radetec have made several versions for pistols, none of which have ever become very popular. They introduced a pistol version in 2012 for the Beretta 92FS and generic 1911s which is still available and costs 200$/140$ respectively. Additionally they released the Smart Slide in 2019 which was a 999$ glock slide replacement that was a limited release. The Smart Slide is the closest to the Aliens version for pistols. Check out the Cobalt Kinetics Round Counter for AR15s, that was the most recent attempt (2017) and most similar to the Aliens version. It looks great but never went to market - I believe Cobalt Kinetics had financial difficulties as they mostly sold very expensive gamer AR15s which never got very popular. Additionally, the LMT piston AR15 rifles sold to Estonia have a different version which sits in the grip and counts the total number of rounds fired for maintenance purposes. The US military has also long wanted a round counter, but less for in-combat use and more for maintenance. The main issue is that the most definitive system would likely require each individual magazine to have some form of electronics to track the follower position - many of the prototype round counting systems we've seen sense vibrations to tell if a shot is fired, but this assumes every magazine was loaded to capacity and ignores the round in the chamber. As a result, many people are reluctant to add electronics to magazines which are meant to be expendable and mass produced.
Former U.S. Marine here. I used to practice catching chambered rounds upon ejection at ranges. Sometimes after certain shooting drills there's a couple rounds left in the magazine. To clear the weapon before stepping off the firing line, I'd tilt my rifle 90 degrees left and down slightly, rack back the charging handle, and catch the round out of mid air. Got pretty good at it too!
You would be surprised at the amount of people becoming gun enthusiasts from video games or the other way around. At some point shooting the real thing or playing tactical shooters gets to various people.

3:10 most weapons have last round hold open activated by the empty magazine. I'm assuming the gun had a round in the chamber but the magazine was absent. Edit: corrected the time so it makes a little more sense
Exactly, on 3:27 you can see that the character only introduce the magazine, pointing out that it didn't have a magazine while firing that round on the chamber.
To be honest, at that point I hadn't caught on to the fact that you can have the mag out - obviously that's a pretty rare feature in video games! But yes, if there' no mag, it won't lock open.
@@JonathanFergusonRoyalArmouries You can take the mag out, unload each round, and load a mixture of "bullet salad" if you wanted to assuming they are all the same caliber. You can also carry around magazines or top load the gun one bullet at a time, an example being the Remington 700 bolt action rifle. You hold your reload key and scroll the mousewheel over the method of reloading you want to do. Also, the ammo for the civilian semi automatic AK chambered in .366 will fit in a universal 7.62x39 magazine meant for the semi or select fire 7.62 AK's, so you can have some pretty embarrassing moments if you accidentally bring a magazine from your stash that looks like all the others but just has the wrong ammo in it, effectively disabling your rifle. You can eject rounds at will with a keybind in the case of say, reloading to a magazine with better penetration ammo to get that old round out of there and chamber that fresh pen round. Or just for fun if you want. Your firearm can also malfunction if it's not maintained and in bad shape causing you to have to clear jams frequently. And this is just a fraction of all the cool unrestricted gameplay features. Last thing I wanna touch on in case anyone else is intrigued by how awesome this game is. You can wear body armor, helmets, and chestrigs. Your ammo HAS to be either in your vest or if the mag is small enough in your pockets (pistol). You can bring in as many loaded magazines as you want but you can only access as many as you put in your vest which for most people is typically 3 mags plus 1 in the gun. On top of this you can bring loose ammo and top up your mags. This becomes a big factor in gameplay usually leading to a lull in prolonged firefights where players retreat, top up mags, and bandage/medkit/splint etc. if they need it. Gunfights either last a little while or you're dead instantly. There's some in between but not much. Your body armor can be anywhere from class 1-6 with each tier becoming harder to penetrate requiring higher quality rounds and harder to acquire the really high end stuff. You need to know the capabilities of your ammo moreso than the specific rifle or pistol you decided to use. There are 135 unique types of ammo in Tarkov strictly for player firearms, (yes ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE TYPES OF AMMO!!) 3 mounted weapons and an FN40GL Mk2 grenade launcher. The desirable ammo traits are usually enough penetration to get through class 4 and 5 armor and enough flesh damage to be able to take them down with 2 vs 3 shots to the chest. The traits are as follows: Penetration Power - A number used to determine bullet's penetration chances, and damage inflicted on armor when it fails to penetrate. Damage Value - The number of Hit Points subtracted from Target's Total HP Pool when a bullet manages to penetrate through Armor. Armor Damage Ratio (%) - Percentage of Bullet's Damage that is done to Armor when it fails to penetrate. Projectile Speed - Bullet's initial velocity in meters per second (this speed lowers over distance because of air friction, gravity, humidity, and some other factors that are reflected in the game). Fragmentation Chance - A likelihood of a bullet splitting/splintering after entering Target's body. Bullets that have Fragmented after impact deal high bonus Damage to Targets. Ricochet Chance - Rather self-explanatory. Chance of bullet bouncing off a surface when it is shot at an angle. And that's only going over ammo and armor. There's so much more it's insane. FLIR, NVG's, Faceshields that stop smaller rounds, actual mil dots and realism in the scopes whom Eotech, Walther, Leupold just to name a few, have partnered up with. There are a lot of manufacturers that are partnered and represented in the game including Lonestar Armory from my state of Texas with their TX-15 carbine being featured! Semi auto only, civilian specs just like in real life. Great game to anyone interested.
I love that this game allows you to do bat-shit crazy modifications, but at the expense of weapon performance. Also gotta love that even the game gave up with the drum mag.
2:53 Jonathan, maybe someone has answered your question already, but I'm pretty sure that the slide didn't lock back because there was no magazine inserted in the pistol. There was a round in the chamber which the player fired, and the pistol fully cycled, but the lack of a magazine prevented the slide from locking back. This is because the last-round hold open feature is typically engaged by the magazine follower pushing up on the inside of the slide release lever. It's actually a really cool feature that I haven't seen in any other game. In fact, I think Tarkov even has animations for the player manually inserting a cartridge into the chamber when they don't have any magazines, which your average player will never even see.
I just tested it with glock and this is indeed how it works in the game. Slide locks when mag dumping bit not without mag and there's an animation for reloading bullet in chamber without mag
"It's making a statement, and that statement is I have no idea how guns should be" I actually laughed out loud at that, you are a rockstar! At this point you have to understand that people are now going to make the most cursed weapons they can just for your reaction.
That genuine disgust at 12:45 killed me. I had no clue how much I needed Jonathan being revolted by over-modded firearms but now that Ive seen it in hooked
10:35, don't worry about the recoil, the first shot is for the guy, the second shot is for his guardian angel and the third is for his immortal soul as it attempts to float off to heaven. It's actually perfectly constructed for its intended purpose
On the pistol clip: isn't the magazine (in that case at least) responsible for the slide-lock? There was no magazine in the pistol, only one round in chamber, so the slide can't lock back.
Good spot, exactly my thoughts :D They cut the video right after, so when it continues we don't know if there's a mag they removed before showing the new one being put in, but it would make sense that tarkov gets that right :)
To expand on this: You can bring guns with no magazine inside them, so that animation is what happens if you reload with a round in the chamber but no mags
I havent saw information that says that about the PL 15, i know that it has for the sr1mp, Edit: the one in the sr1pm is actually one that makes it so that when you use all your rounds and the slide is locked back, inserting a new magazine makes it go forward
Must be nice for an expert to see a group of people really appreciate their field and put so much love into realism like this. Tarkov devs did an awesome job.
2:45 The reason that the slide didn't lock open is that there is no magazine in the gun. When the player reloads the gun he does not take the magazine out, rather he just puts a magazine in. And when you fire a handgun with no magazine, there is nothing for the slide release to catch on. That is why the slide didn't lock.
That first rifle he was looking at is the CMMG Mutant, a hybrid of the ar15 and the ammo and magazine of the AK, and yes it is a real gun. They're commercially available in the US but not in full auto. I don't think they have any military use but I could be wrong.
Thank you for having such a calm and collected voice when talking about all the weapon details and their real life counterparts. It is an absolute delight to listen to you talk.
@@jackal_9791 the PL15 in the first Clip had no mag in it, thats also why the slide didn't lock open. Then there was a second clip where Jonathan himself pointed out the malf.
@@enfield_the_enigmatic2989 didn't they also add misfires with this wipe? iirc pre-wipe only failure to rechamber or failure to load malfunctions would happen
18:20 "Don't know whether to be impressed or disgusted, I genuinely don't..." Both. Impressed by the game design, disgusted by what the player chose to do with it. 😆
Has there been a video on 'Receiver 2' yet? It's got some really nice depiction of handguns, and also firearm malfunctions like double feed, stovepipes, jamming and my personal favourite "oops, no bullet."
I love how even TH-cam realizes I have no interest in any other Gamespot videos, I'm only ever presented videos of Jonathan. Finally, the algorithms are doing their job!
This might be one of my favourite reactions Jonathan has done. The simple "urgh" as a reaction was perfect. Also "Farmers and their mums" - top tier reference.
For 3:15 there is a chance in Tarkov for your weapons to have misfires. Duds and/or inert rounds are also included in that list of weapon malfunctions.
In the beginning when he says the “slide didn’t lock open”. That’s not due to last round in the magazine. It’s a failure to fire / feed. The game has jamming and failure to fire mechanics based on durability and maintenance / cleaning of the firearms. Ie The gun jammed. Happens sometimes.
While Gun jams are implemented in tarkov (very very rarely only if gun is super low durability) the malfunctions you see this wipe is a “misfire”. Either due to shitty ammunition or firing pin failure, the primer fails to ignite the powder
@David Masters lack of mag, someone chambered a round in the inventory screen and forgot to put the mag in the gun. Fired the first shot and click, because it had nothing.
Let’s rename Gamespot “Firearm Expert Reacts” channel. Where have the interesting conversations and look backs gone? Why do the reviews feel so half-hearted?
Game reviews are a joke nowadays from big channels. Watch multiple of them from less popular TH-camrs rather than one with the most subscribers, you won't regret it.
They should've focused on the "journalism" side of video game journalism.. Y'know, news, actual interviews.. Reviews.. Livestreams.. is not really journalism is it?
@@AsurendrasOrder it just makes more sense to actually watch people play the game. And you can decide if you like it or not. The most organic way. Basically like the demo discs of yester year.
Dang, I was hoping he would say something about how the character locks the SKS bolt back without having an empty magazine in it or reaching in to pull the hold-open up. Of all the tarkov I've seen, never once has anyone addressed it.
@@renardfou594 Yep, IMFDB is almost always correct and this is not something they would get wrong. If you know what you're looking for, it's simple to see the differences.
@@jackal_9791 Correct, although the CMMG version is a semi-auto civilian gun so I suppose it borrows the model from the CMMG but functions like one of the other hybrid designs.
In the clip around 3:00, the reason the slide doesn't lock open is because there's no magazine in the weapon. The magazine follower is what pushes the slide lock and causes the slide to stay open.
Johnathan would have been horrified to see the heavily modernised electronic scope with built in range finder I slapped onto my Mosin Nagant sniper rifle in Payday. :P
@@Mr_T_Badger Could be worse. I once had akimbo MP5s with massive suppressors, no stock, shortened barrels and high-zoom scopes. Bc why be accurate when you can just land shots literally everywhere? :D
@@blondepotatoboi a late friend of mine once went out of their way to see if they could make the largest Desert Eagle possible. They took a beefed up frame with extended barrel and then slapped an extended magazine on it, one of those big rectangular osprey suppressors, and this massive pistol sight. It was a monstrosity in more ways than one.
To answer your question about the pistol slide not locking open, I believe it was simply a misfire due to bad ammo. There is a very small chance that a round will chamber but not go off. This is especially common on cheaper ammo

FLIR, NVG's, Faceshields that stop smaller rounds, actual mil dots and realism in the scopes whom Eotech, Walther, Leupold just to name a few, have partnered up with. There are a lot of manufacturers that are partnered and represented in the game including Lonestar Armory from my state of Texas with their TX-15 carbine being featured! Semi auto only, civilian specs just like in real life. Great game to anyone interested.
This ...
"This is a deliberate effort to break my brain isn't it?"
SO much of Tarkov is designed to break your brain lmao
the Tarkov itself is designed for it lol
it's just a shame that it's not just the bullets that are designed for that

the pistol went click because it didnt have a magazine in it so no slide lock because no follower
understandable have a nice day.
this clip may have also been recorded last wipe where slide catches/bolt catches were all bugged
I noticed the pistol slides not locking open too, happens with the glock too. Happened last wipe, haven't played the new wipe
Scrolled down to see this comment, i hoped someone notice it😂
Thank you! I was looking for this.
I love that this game allows you to do bat-shit crazy modifications, but at the expense of weapon performance. Also gotta love that even the game gave up with the drum mag.
I think the cursed gun reactions are hilarious! You're a treasure, Jonathan.
2:53
Jonathan, maybe someone has answered your question already, but I'm pretty sure that the slide didn't lock back because there was no magazine inserted in the pistol. There was a round in the chamber which the player fired, and the pistol fully cycled, but the lack of a magazine prevented the slide from locking back. This is because the last-round hold open feature is typically engaged by the magazine follower pushing up on the inside of the slide release lever.
It's actually a really cool feature that I haven't seen in any other game. In fact, I think Tarkov even has animations for the player manually inserting a cartridge into the chamber when they don't have any magazines, which your average player will never even see.
I just tested it with glock and this is indeed how it works in the game. Slide locks when mag dumping bit not without mag and there's an animation for reloading bullet in chamber without mag
nice pick up
"It's making a statement, and that statement is I have no idea how guns should be" I actually laughed out loud at that, you are a rockstar!
At this point you have to understand that people are now going to make the most cursed weapons they can just for your reaction.
His reactions are sometimes just perfectly British
I think the message was more "I wanna make Jonathan cry"
Oh god I hope they do. This has been his best yet
That genuine disgust at 12:45 killed me. I had no clue how much I needed Jonathan being revolted by over-modded firearms but now that Ive seen it in hooked
i was laughing my ass off at that moment :DDD
NOPE.avi
10:35, don't worry about the recoil, the first shot is for the guy, the second shot is for his guardian angel and the third is for his immortal soul as it attempts to float off to heaven. It's actually perfectly constructed for its intended purpose
8:05
"Rifle is fine"
An Ivan Chesnokov reference! He certainly is a man of culture.
On the pistol clip: isn't the magazine (in that case at least) responsible for the slide-lock?
There was no magazine in the pistol, only one round in chamber, so the slide can't lock back.
Good spot, exactly my thoughts :D They cut the video right after, so when it continues we don't know if there's a mag they removed before showing the new one being put in, but it would make sense that tarkov gets that right :)
To expand on this: You can bring guns with no magazine inside them, so that animation is what happens if you reload with a round in the chamber but no mags
I havent saw information that says that about the PL 15, i know that it has for the sr1mp,
Edit: the one in the sr1pm is actually one that makes it so that when you use all your rounds and the slide is locked back, inserting a new magazine makes it go forward
Pretty sure it was just a jam. Tarkov recently added jamming as a common occurrence and it happens a bit too much to actually be realistic.
@@Definitelydusky well, it can happen, but then it would notify the player via a small message, which I didnt spot
we need him to react to more cursed guns from Tarkov
i agree
Or cursed guns in games in general
Yes
Yup
Hell ya
Wolfenstein the new order guns would be an interesting idea
YEEES
I highly approve of this Idea
Assault Rifle 1960 = StG44+HK G3

"Farmers and their mums." Love the Hot Fuzz reference.
Fr lmao, I was so surprised by it
Must be nice for an expert to see a group of people really appreciate their field and put so much love into realism like this. Tarkov devs did an awesome job.
2:45 The reason that the slide didn't lock open is that there is no magazine in the gun. When the player reloads the gun he does not take the magazine out, rather he just puts a magazine in. And when you fire a handgun with no magazine, there is nothing for the slide release to catch on. That is why the slide didn't lock.
We have hit full meta with players making guns just to mess with Jonathan.
We hit full meta when someone spraypainted as a logo a photo of Jonathan in CSGO
17:17 Best reaction thus for from Johnathan reacting to Tarkov this series.
He got grossed out, Lol.
я всякое дерьмо в жизни видал, но ЭТО...
@@m_i8127 I agree
5:21 it is called the careless whisper, and it is a long range weapon.
I'm SO HAPPY we got him to review the cursed creations of tarkov
9:38 Mr. Ferguson is regretting every life decision that led to this moment.
Lmao
The way he says UUUUH (17:18) is so hilarious
It shows how disgusted he is
Someone whould remix that!
Or not
"It's happening again" Johnathan sounded so desperate for it to end
"My final descent into madness"
We will see... We. Will. See.
That first rifle he was looking at is the CMMG Mutant, a hybrid of the ar15 and the ammo and magazine of the AK, and yes it is a real gun. They're commercially available in the US but not in full auto. I don't think they have any military use but I could be wrong.
Some were sold to spec ops for ammo commonality with foreign forces for oddball stuff that's about it.
@@jediknight1294 If they manufactured it in 5.45 I think more people and governments would think about purchasing.
Hearing him say “pucker factor as they say” in that English accent might have been my favorite moment in these so far
Thank you for having such a calm and collected voice when talking about all the weapon details and their real life counterparts. It is an absolute delight to listen to you talk.
Malfunctions were added to the game last wipe.
And thats what happened to the PL-15, right? Or was it because there was no magazine, as others have pointed out
Actually they were always there, but they recently changed it so that looted guns had far less durability so that malfunctions would actually occur.
@@jackal_9791 the PL15 in the first Clip had no mag in it, thats also why the slide didn't lock open. Then there was a second clip where Jonathan himself pointed out the malf.
@@enfield_the_enigmatic2989 didn't they also add misfires with this wipe? iirc pre-wipe only failure to rechamber or failure to load malfunctions would happen
@@enfield_the_enigmatic2989 false, they never had misfires.
Please react to weapons from Wolfenstein, preferably the newer games, but some older ones are fine I guess.
13:03 - Ah, yes, the Retina Destroyer; great for dark corridors.
i laughed real long and hard when he said in the saddest voice "it's happening again"
It really would be cool if Jonathan would react to the Weapons of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series of games
18:20 "Don't know whether to be impressed or disgusted, I genuinely don't..." Both. Impressed by the game design, disgusted by what the player chose to do with it. 😆
Easily the second worst thing I've ever seen done to a krink. Thank God this one wasn't real
😂😂 lool
Has there been a video on 'Receiver 2' yet?
It's got some really nice depiction of handguns, and also firearm malfunctions like double feed, stovepipes, jamming and my personal favourite "oops, no bullet."
The "Oops, no bullets" malfunction is more of a "Me" malfunction.
That butchered Mosin is called the 'Careless Whisper', it was first shown on a video by General Sam which is absolutely hilarious.
"It's happening again...!"
-Jonathan Ferguson, nearly in tears from the crimes witnessed before him
I love how even TH-cam realizes I have no interest in any other Gamespot videos, I'm only ever presented videos of Jonathan. Finally, the algorithms are doing their job!
Same
This might be one of my favourite reactions Jonathan has done. The simple "urgh" as a reaction was perfect. Also "Farmers and their mums" - top tier reference.
When he said “it’s happening again” I thought he was gonna break down and cry
Timestamps of him dying inside:
- 5:00
- 9:33
- 12:43
- 17:18
For 3:15 there is a chance in Tarkov for your weapons to have misfires. Duds and/or inert rounds are also included in that list of weapon malfunctions.
A week ago they also added overheating, jams, failure to feed, failure to cycle etc.
Jonathan's descent into madness was adorable :3
17:19 just the sheer reaction was pure gold
The disgusted on John's face after seeing that abomination was perfect
"The careless whisper is known for its short range capabilities."- bizzlesnaff 2019
A truly fantastic weapon
bet ya that gun has 3 ergo
In the beginning when he says the “slide didn’t lock open”. That’s not due to last round in the magazine. It’s a failure to fire / feed. The game has jamming and failure to fire mechanics based on durability and maintenance / cleaning of the firearms. Ie The gun jammed. Happens sometimes.
Another one of those "fun" additions to make us crawl through the glass.
While Gun jams are implemented in tarkov (very very rarely only if gun is super low durability) the malfunctions you see this wipe is a “misfire”. Either due to shitty ammunition or firing pin failure, the primer fails to ignite the powder
no, round ejected. he just didn’t have a mag in.
@David Masters lack of mag, someone chambered a round in the inventory screen and forgot to put the mag in the gun. Fired the first shot and click, because it had nothing.
that did not happen in the video - a gun jam is always notified by a error message in the bottom right corner. There was no error message.
Seeing him react to Receiver 2 guns and gun handling would be awesome!
"Hunt: Showdown" has been updated with more guns and specialty ammo, I wanna hear Jonathan's opinions of them...
Girlfriend: “oh my god WHEN are you going to fix the sink like you promised?”
Me after watching all these videos: “Pause here....”
Let’s rename Gamespot “Firearm Expert Reacts” channel. Where have the interesting conversations and look backs gone? Why do the reviews feel so half-hearted?
Game reviews are a joke nowadays from big channels. Watch multiple of them from less popular TH-camrs rather than one with the most subscribers, you won't regret it.
They should've focused on the "journalism" side of video game journalism..
Y'know, news, actual interviews..
Reviews.. Livestreams.. is not really journalism is it?
This is more like Royal Armouries' second "gamer" channel now
My guess would be to follow the views. I've seen these react videos get like 500k+, stream get like 300k while a review will get like 20k-30k.
@@AsurendrasOrder it just makes more sense to actually watch people play the game. And you can decide if you like it or not. The most organic way. Basically like the demo discs of yester year.
1:58 And, apparently, John David Washington (Denzel Washington's son) did the same thing in Tenet.
At 17:19 his absolute sound of disgust and dismay is hilarious
"It's a masterpiece..."
My new favourite catchphrase said by Jonathan.

Need a video dedicated to cursed tarkov guns. I want to see his reaction to the CCTV-90
Dang, I was hoping he would say something about how the character locks the SKS bolt back without having an empty magazine in it or reaching in to pull the hold-open up.
Of all the tarkov I've seen, never once has anyone addressed it.
The best thing to see is his passion for guns and professional approach to a game.. best man 10/10
“I don’t know whether to be impressed or disgusted.” - One of my all-time favourite quotes from Jonathan.
Correct answer is both.
And a thousand Players go: " Challenge accepted!"
@@RusticGargoyle9 impressively disgusted?
@@borismuller86 yes
This reckless abuse of a fine historian is appalling, I tell you!
I'm so glad we got to see the Mk47 Mutant in one of these. It has only just been added to the game and it is very fun.
Technically its the CMMG Banshee 200, not the Mutant Mk47, the devs mislabelled it
@@jackal_9791 u sure ? Googled it and kt seemfine
@@renardfou594 Yep, IMFDB is almost always correct and this is not something they would get wrong. If you know what you're looking for, it's simple to see the differences.
@@jackal_9791 The difference being the barrel length
@@jackal_9791 Correct, although the CMMG version is a semi-auto civilian gun so I suppose it borrows the model from the CMMG but functions like one of the other hybrid designs.
In the clip around 3:00, the reason the slide doesn't lock open is because there's no magazine in the weapon. The magazine follower is what pushes the slide lock and causes the slide to stay open.
5:00 I love how he instantly calls it out 😂
I would love to see more H3VR reactions, that game has a lot of wacky guns
Payday 2 would be a brilliant game to cover. Tons of rarer guns to look at, then watch them get completely ruined by weapon mods :P
Johnathan would have been horrified to see the heavily modernised electronic scope with built in range finder I slapped onto my Mosin Nagant sniper rifle in Payday. :P
@@Mr_T_Badger Could be worse. I once had akimbo MP5s with massive suppressors, no stock, shortened barrels and high-zoom scopes. Bc why be accurate when you can just land shots literally everywhere? :D
@@blondepotatoboi a late friend of mine once went out of their way to see if they could make the largest Desert Eagle possible. They took a beefed up frame with extended barrel and then slapped an extended magazine on it, one of those big rectangular osprey suppressors, and this massive pistol sight. It was a monstrosity in more ways than one.
Would still love to see Jonathan talk about the weapons in the Mafia Trilogy
15:57 "I haven't heard one of these fired" Well that's the point, Jonathan!!
To answer your question about the pistol slide not locking open, I believe it was simply a misfire due to bad ammo. There is a very small chance that a round will chamber but not go off. This is especially common on cheaper ammo
