As Blackjack A. has pointed out in a comment, the belt-fed revolver is more likely based on the American Josselyn revolver. Still, Treeby did it first :)
Very cool to see you cover the history of British firearms whereas Ian covered the history of French firearms. Hoping to make your book part of my collection!
Crytek has actually and I quote: "updated the animations of the Sparks LRR family rifle to be more in line with their real-life counterparts.", because they have seen this video. Crytek really appreciates this video :) Nice work
It's rare to see devs considering anyone to be an expert that the person is labelled as even if the label is true, and to Jonathan's credit he really is.
considering all the characters can use actual magic, albeit in very tame ways, and they fight mutated monsters and magical monsters, the amount of realism even in more unrealistic guns is astounding.
It fits the fiction, though. It aligns with Secondary Belief, which is basically how Tolkien describes his worldbuilding process/desire. The fictional world operates on its own set of rules, no matter how ludicrous, but must follow them exactly, else the illusion is broken. So, Hunt: Showdown exists in a world with magic and monsters, but firearms technology maintains basically what it is in the real world. This makes for a more enjoyable game, and is quite ludonarratively satisfying. Magic feels more magical, the player feels more skilled, and the monsters feel more dangerous.

@@seanmartin3474 I considered that, but he said last update, and ammo hasn't dropped on live. Personally if that is it, I disagree. The ammo appears to have been introduced very conservatively. A few (like high velocity on bornheim and the officer carbine) are disconcerting, but can always be rebalanced. Other than those increased ammo scarcity helps balance them. Most of them are not good enough to lock yourself into special ammo for.
The devs truly are committed to getting the accuracy of the firearms down to a T. Yesterday they announced in the 1.5.2 update that they'd be changing the Sparks LRR's reload animation as according to Mr. Ferguson's critique in this video. I'd love to see him come back to do a part two, as there are so many interesting firearms in the game that are designed so well.
I would love to see more of Hunt Showdown, namely how the Lebel is portrayed because of its rather unusual loading mechanism. Fingers crossed for a part 2!
In the newest Patch the developers actually implemented changes to the Sparks based on this video. Hunt has way more iconic and controversial weapons like the whole Winnie-Family, the Bornheim, the Dolch, the Lebel as you mentioned... I want a second part as well!
Just checkout the TH-cam Channel Forgotten Weapons, he does technical breakdowns and histories of a ton of different firearms, he's kind of a Francophile, and the Lebel is a French gun so he goes pretty in depth with it
I really like that Jon is both an undisputed expert and a video game fan who understands where tweaks have to be made. It makes it especially noticeable where there are very silly things.
A part 2 for this game would be really cool, especially since on a dev stream the other day they actually showed off the Mosin avtomat bolt cycling animation in higher detail, would be really cool to see Jon react to it!
What about the Veterli, authenticity of the Winfield, Officer Carbine, Lebel and the Bornheim. The choice of guns was kinda meh =\ Hopefully we can get a part 2
Definitely. The guns you've mentioned are very nicely portrayed, would've been nice get his opinion on how good it actually is, but some of the ones shown in the video are straight up botched or just funky and "hard to understand" for someone who doesn't know the game.
Oh and btw, it's funny that he has the "Winfield", or the Winchester 1873 on the table in the back throughout the whole video, but it wasn't even mentioned. Hopefully this means that there's indeed a second part coming. Maybe he just grabbed it because he thought that it for sure ought to be in the game and they didn't show it, lol.
@@alexanderstreeter973 and yet they chose the most unhistirical ones which doesn’t give the game justice :/ Hunt actually treats their guns very good and true to their origins.
@@gamiiee Hunt player myself dud:D you can use it in pvp to meme on dudes, I ve wiped trios with it by getting 2 insta headshots, back when it was worse dmg and headshot range wise even memeing it was super frustrateing cause you'd get a headshot on some guy not even halfway through the compound away and he'd still be standing
Hunt Showdown is my favorite video game aesthetic of the last decade. I wish more fiction explored this Noir Fantasy Western vibe. It’s totally unique in the medium of modern gaming, and a bit crazy that something so imaginative and atmospheric was created for a multiplayer shooter. One of the most underrated games ever too. No other MP game like it.
You'd be surprised how many wacky inventions people came up with at some point, sometimes but just sometimes, what you see in fiction is somehow grounded in reality more or less, and that's something cool to consider :D
Would definitely like to see a part 2 of this episode. It feels as though the clip curator has veered away from the more impressive and authentic representations of weapons in favour of the more fantasy based versions. I definitely felt like that initial poor impression seemed to jade Jonathan's analysis of the latter firearms.
@@MoonLiteNite seems this isn't true. think you're confusing something. @PrdBlack this is what i thought too. And i guess if he'd played the game himself, he'd be pretty impressed by how accurate the authentic weapons are realized.
yeah also told him like zombies have like what 40hp? derringer is like 10-15 damage to hunters. and is mostly meant to fire barrels. or to finish people off. of fire other traps. also nitro works on zombies. no shit. i fire a zombie and he goes flying over the whole map. its like 200 damage. and its meant for pvp. hence u only get like 6 shots.
I think it's awesome that the latest update (1.5.2) of Hunt: Showdown had the following among its patch notes: "We have updated the animations of the Sparks LRR family of rifle to be more in line with their real-life counterparts. This change is based on some recent feedback from a weapons expert reaction video created by Gamespot. (Thanks for the tips folks, we really appreciate it!)" (And linked to this video.)
6:58 The game calls it a Fedorov Avtomat, though for some reason it’s a modification of the mosin in-game. The wiki says it’s kind of an alternate history where the Huot was developed by Russians, so the standard rifle modified for the design was the mosin instead of the Ross.
@@blacktiger974 well everyone had to start somewhere, keep playing. It's a big learning curve, but once u understand more about the game and start wiping servers, you're gonna love it.
@@blacktiger974 honestly yeah it's got a huge learning curve. I don't want to comment too hard as I obviously don't know what happened, but everyone kind of agrees you are still learning for the first 150 hours of the game. It plays unlike any other shooter. I've got friends from various other franchises who play it like those games and they have to unlearn a lot of habits in order to learn Hunt
@@thesuperginge1348 yeah I think thats the main point why it had problems to become popular. I personally play it since the beta and back then I luckily didnt have such big problems getting into the game because everyone was kinda new.
@@alexlokanin3312 Its nothing like CSGO. I'd compare it to a Battle Royale game, but with a huge pve slant and purposfully infuriating mechanics, like long reloads and massive damage to health
silenced nagant is one of the only revolvers that can actually be silenced based on how its designed. They're insanely quiet to the point where all you hear is the mechanical clicking of parts. Look them up on here, its pretty cool.
I was so surprised to hear a british accent when I clicked on the first episode I watched, and I’m very pleased that there are still some British folk that like guns
Videogames fictionnalize the weapons companies names usually to avoid lawsuits. Even if some companies are dead, we can see that Colt for instance is still in service to this day. That's why. :)
What would be the risk of being sued? I've seen games straight-up tell their name with no alterations (Receiver 2, for example) and I haven't heard of the associated companies being sued.
@@popcornegg4405 The risk is actually huge. See, to use a brand name, you actually need to have a commercial agreement with it. With lots, and I mean *lots* of paperwork, bipartite terms of condition and so on. Especially because, well, many companies don't want to be associated with games that may or may not depict something they're not really ok with (think of Spec Ops- The Line's main story with *realistic* use of White Phosphorus and thus display of gruesome, first degree civilian mass manslaughter. Not something Colt or Beretta would be ok with being associated with). Moreover, some games would actually use the brand name as an add or a partnership. So there's money to be made for the brand and the video game studio. And trust me, when a company can't make money off something they usually have full control on, they cannot be happy. Since the firearms manufacturers are very powerful entities in the business world, especially in the USA where most shooter games are made and thus where lawsuits would defenitely be issued, the risk for the video game editors are humongous. We're talking millions of dollar-grade kind of lawsuits, for unlawful use of brand name and brand identity, for commercial use. That doesnt mean a game cannot have brand names for their firearms. Call of Duty had famously made a deal with Remington Arms to display the Remington name and logo on their R5. I don't especially know Receiver 2 but I do note that it is a simulator based especially on (and I quote) " based on manufacturer schematics and gunsmithing resources", since I see the term "manufacturer" in their description, I can only guess they have a deal with those said manufacturers to exploit the brand names :)
I like that he doesn't get overly critical of the game designers decisions regarding "fudging" things, and understands why the decisions were made while still respecting them
@@immex5694 mfw Most of the world is allowed to own firearms, albeit with strenuous background checks and such. Especially with a Sharps Rifle, it should be more lenient.
Jonathan should react to the Metro series' guns. I would love his input on if those guns would actually work in real life or make no sense. Hell, he should react to more games with made up guns and talk about whether they actually make sense or would never work in real life! But I reeeeally want his opinion on the guns in the Metro series, I always thought Metro made some of the coolest looking post apocalyptic guns.
@@THE_Glass_Grizzly Dude ever since then I've had a fascination for air guns. They'd be the perfect post apocalyptic weapon if you think about it. Run out of gunpowder? Just use air lmao
It'd be cool to see his thoughts on the sound design in Hunt too, not just the specific sound imprints of each weapon, but the distance at which they can be heard. There's a whole studio in the weapon menus to test audible distance on weapons, something I haven't seen in any other game.
I like that the devs of hunt showdown, which I’ve played since it’s inception, have put so much effort into the guns itself. I hope they watch this video and maybe fix a few of the issues presented.
The dev team just linked this video in their most recent update notes. They said they were going to change the animation on the Sparks LRR based on Ferguson's feedback.
I love that Gamespot and Jonathan are keen to keep giving us what we ask for each week! What about a twist episode where Jonathan talks about what he would LIKE to see in a new game?
Definitely need to have a part 2, while this one was good, it seems to focus to much on the more wilder versions. I think Jonathan would appreciate the more authentic weapons more.
I imagine the devs made up the chain-loaded revolvers on their own, and then they go back to watch this video and when they find out it's a real gun they spit out their coffee
I got a feelimg they kinda did as a kid i used ot like to draw concept guns and i didnt a similar chain revolver. Its a very primordial gun designer idea
@@SullyKrein Well... yeah, that.. that was the joke. The guy said he imagined that the devs might not have known it actually existed, and learned about it with this vid.
This was a fascinating look into the weapons! 4:44 But on this note, the game is supposedly set in 1895, and the "American Hunters Association" accepts people from around the world, so that's the reason why a Nagant M1895 could be in it. But I suspect some other weapons are anachronistic or otherwise suspect as well. The feel of the guns fit the theme though, and play good, and that's the important part. I would like to see another reaction after the Custom Ammo update has been implemented!
I honestly always pass it up, mostly as I thought it was strictly 1 v 4 PVP despite loving the art direction and weapons. I probably should give it a try.
It's always funny to me that theme with the whole "XYZ profession reacts" series. It's like they get the intern to play the game for them who has thumbs bigger than their forehead. They never grab anyone who plays the game regularly to get gameplay for them.
I agree, they took, for the most part, the most unrealistic and weird weapons from the game. I'd much rather have seen him commenting on just a Mosin, Lebelle or one of the precision pistols or something. I must say he's quite good to recognize what they're based off of even though they're so changed!
I like how they demonstrate the revolver nature of the guns in the UI, having the "active" chamber show as empty until you recock the hammer, complete with the ammo pips sliding into place.
This vid needs a part 2 like the Tarkov vid. Would love to see him react to the Mauser, Vetterli, lebel and other hunt weapons that were not shown in this video
@Mati Mikk what Napalm means is the game itself have a test fire range complete with gun animations for each weapon You can take any firearm in the game and go to the virtual fire range, mostly used to hear the audible que over distances
Thrilled to finally see this one! I wish we could've gotten Jonathan's thoughts on the way sound is handled in the game though. Particularly from long distances away, I've never played a game that handled gunfire sounds so effectively. Also kind of wish you'd focused on the more historical guns in the game, like the Lebel, Martini-Henry, or the Vetterli, rather than the novelties, but beggars can't be choosers, eh?
Hope you guys will make a Part 2 for Hunt Showdown, there's a lot more weapons in the game it'd be cool to have Jonathan analyze, such as the martini, bomb lance, knuckle knife, officer carbine, and some of the talon variants
It would also be cool to show him some of the custom ammos that exist in the game (penny shot, poison, dragon's breath, etc) to learn about how realistic/unrealistic that ammo might be for the game's time period
Hunt Showdown just gave you guys a shoutout in a recent update, saying they'd taken on board some of the comments and made changes! How amazing is that!
They should have had a SP campaign or something like L4D then for their super interesting concept and then super turn off Online PvP only and the majority of people there are people with 1000s of hrs
@@lutherheggs451 It was originally pitched as a l4d clone and they changed their mind, I believe it was called horrors of the gilded age, there's gameplay footage of it on youtube and it looks pretty garbo
@@lutherheggs451 I'm really glad that they made the game they did instead of going for what they thought would sell better, which is what you suggested.
Another excellent video and time spent with Jonathan is always time well spent. I would like to see him spend some time reacting to the guns from the multiplayer FPS games Tannenberg and Verdun.
As Blackjack A. has pointed out in a comment, the belt-fed revolver is more likely based on the American Josselyn revolver. Still, Treeby did it first :)

Since the firearms manufacturers are very powerful entities in the business world, especially in the USA where most shooter games are made and thus where lawsuits would defenitely be issued, the risk for the video game editors are humongous. We're talking millions of dollar-grade kind of lawsuits, for unlawful use of brand name and brand identity, for commercial use.
That doesnt mean a game cannot have brand names for their firearms. Call of Duty had famously made a deal with Remington Arms to display the Remington name and logo on their R5. I don't especially know Receiver 2 but I do note that it is a simulator based especially on (and I quote) " based on manufacturer schematics and gunsmithing resources", since I see the term "manufacturer" in their description, I can only guess they have a deal with those said manufacturers to exploit the brand names :)
@@popcornegg4405 because a small video game company going up to somebody huge like Heckler & Koch is pretty difficult
Or even with RDR2 and how the Pinkerton agency tried to sue the game makers for using their name in the game
I like that he doesn't get overly critical of the game designers decisions regarding "fudging" things, and understands why the decisions were made while still respecting them
Definitely need part 2. This game has so much more guns to cover!
Jonathan's smile is always so inviting
You're 15 minutes into *curate and chill* when he gives you this look 0:00
@@TheSundayShooter I worked with JF at the Royal Armouries, he loves this shit
That "I like that" was the most genuine iv seen in a long time.
Have him react to Metro Exodus
"Make him"
Strap him down if you have to; I must have his input on Metro Exodus, it is of the utmost importance.
I second this!
@@Mr.deacle its not waterboarding if its diselfuel
Or any of the Metro games really
Points a gun at his head: do a video now
Hunt showdown PT 2 WHEN? We need the other guns to be discussed as well! Please!
They actually changed the animation on the Sharps rifle in the game due to this videos criticisms. Thanks Jonathan!
his criticism is wrong. Source? Have handled a sharps in person. Leave the firearms critiques to the americans.
@@immex5694 Really? So the Sharps uncocks itself when you open the breach?
@@immex5694
Why is it only the Americans who are allowed to critique firearms in this instance?
@@irma9495 Cause we are the only ones allowed to even own them LOLOLOL
@@immex5694 mfw Most of the world is allowed to own firearms, albeit with strenuous background checks and such. Especially with a Sharps Rifle, it should be more lenient.
Okay, this is actually a banger. Hunt Showdown has some great and unique guns!
Jonathan should react to the Metro series' guns. I would love his input on if those guns would actually work in real life or make no sense. Hell, he should react to more games with made up guns and talk about whether they actually make sense or would never work in real life!
But I reeeeally want his opinion on the guns in the Metro series, I always thought Metro made some of the coolest looking post apocalyptic guns.
I agree! I really want to see how he likes the pressurized BB gun in that game. It's my favorite weapon outside of the soviet staples.
Yea I'd like to hear him talk about the belt-fed shotgun, the shambler, the bastard and also the fictional "AK-12" with the P90 mag.
@@THE_Glass_Grizzly Dude ever since then I've had a fascination for air guns. They'd be the perfect post apocalyptic weapon if you think about it. Run out of gunpowder? Just use air lmao
It'd be cool to see his thoughts on the sound design in Hunt too, not just the specific sound imprints of each weapon, but the distance at which they can be heard. There's a whole studio in the weapon menus to test audible distance on weapons, something I haven't seen in any other game.
I like that the devs of hunt showdown, which I’ve played since it’s inception, have put so much effort into the guns itself. I hope they watch this video and maybe fix a few of the issues presented.
They have
He should do Rising Storm 2: Vietnam
True
yea theres some really interesting guns in rising storm
Best game in history
@@rambobannana i love it lol
@@rambobannana indeed it's amazing
Verdun and Tannenberg would be great to see, wide range of guns from the different fronts of World War 1
great suggestion
Beyond the wire
He'd be more surprised how many of the revolvers don't use the little ejector in front of it.
IKR, thermal expansion is a thing
Have you ever accidently shot a gun in the office? asking for a friend that owns a beet farm
nice reference ahah
lmao
The dev team just linked this video in their most recent update notes. They said they were going to change the animation on the Sparks LRR based on Ferguson's feedback.
Did he just call the deringer a beast😂what a legend
I love that Gamespot and Jonathan are keen to keep giving us what we ask for each week!
What about a twist episode where Jonathan talks about what he would LIKE to see in a new game?
"Fastest click in the bayou."
Definitely need to have a part 2, while this one was good, it seems to focus to much on the more wilder versions. I think Jonathan would appreciate the more authentic weapons more.
You got your wish.
I imagine the devs made up the chain-loaded revolvers on their own, and then they go back to watch this video and when they find out it's a real gun they spit out their coffee
I got a feelimg they kinda did as a kid i used ot like to draw concept guns and i didnt a similar chain revolver. Its a very primordial gun designer idea
not true. chain revolver do exist in the real world.
@@SullyKrein Well... yeah, that.. that was the joke. The guy said he imagined that the devs might not have known it actually existed, and learned about it with this vid.
This was a fascinating look into the weapons!
4:44 But on this note, the game is supposedly set in 1895, and the "American Hunters Association" accepts people from around the world, so that's the reason why a Nagant M1895 could be in it. But I suspect some other weapons are anachronistic or otherwise suspect as well. The feel of the guns fit the theme though, and play good, and that's the important part.
I would like to see another reaction after the Custom Ammo update has been implemented!
This game are criminally underrated
I honestly always pass it up, mostly as I thought it was strictly 1 v 4 PVP despite loving the art direction and weapons. I probably should give it a try.
@@BT-ex7ko Where the hell did you get that idea? LOL. Regardless, great game. Do it up.
@@BT-ex7ko it's more like 3v3v3 or 2v2v2v2v2v2
I must say the gameplay footage you got for Hunt: Showdown is pretty miserable, interesting content still.
Yeah what was that? Did IGN provide the footage?
They probobly went into the training mode. Which since there's a single butcher is possible.
It's always funny to me that theme with the whole "XYZ profession reacts" series. It's like they get the intern to play the game for them who has thumbs bigger than their forehead. They never grab anyone who plays the game regularly to get gameplay for them.
A little bit, yeah. But, we ain’t here for gameplay! ...most of us at least
I agree, they took, for the most part, the most unrealistic and weird weapons from the game. I'd much rather have seen him commenting on just a Mosin, Lebelle or one of the precision pistols or something. I must say he's quite good to recognize what they're based off of even though they're so changed!
The Dev-team of Hunt changed the animation for the Sparks/Sharps rifle because of this video :)
This dude is a gem, he needs his own channel.
Alot of people asked for hunt showdown so im glad to see they listened.
Dangit, all I wanted to see was the officer carbine. More hunt showdown!
Metro series next! He should really talk about those homemade modifications and weapons
Guns in Metro? Post-apocalypse Metro 2033/LL/Exodus? Regular weapons - AK, single-barrel shotgun, .44 cal pistol, irregular - "Bastard", 12 gauge belt-fed machine gun and other weapons. Metro-2 series? Really Soviet weapons of 1940s.
I've been addicted to Hunt lately, so I'd love to see Jonathan revisit Hunt and take a look at some of the remaining hunt weaponry
We need a part 2 there's so many more guns in the game.
YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! THANK U PAPA GUN
You guys should have him react to the weapon handling mechanics of Receiver 2
It is English gun Jesus!
Praise the English gun god
@@Conscrpt Did you know that American gun Jesus and English gun jesus have met
@@georgemoran8505 I know I just watched that
@@georgemoran8505 and also more look likes linus gun tips
@@Conscrpt great videos
I like how they demonstrate the revolver nature of the guns in the UI, having the "active" chamber show as empty until you recock the hammer, complete with the ammo pips sliding into place.
Jonathan Ferguson is like the Steve Irwin of guns. Everyone loves him and he's very passionate about his job.
Fuck yeah I mostly wanted this just to hear him talk about the belt revolver
This vid needs a part 2 like the Tarkov vid. Would love to see him react to the Mauser, Vetterli, lebel and other hunt weapons that were not shown in this video
Have him react to Metro Exodus next!
The original Metro has a lot of crazy home made guns too, the whole series would be a gold mine for this type of content.
I'm so happy this got me watching the channel! Hopefully we'll get a part 2 someday.
I really hope we get a part 2 for this covering guns like the various winnie rifles, lebel, bornheim, and officer carbine
Best episode ever. Qudos to Jonathan for his rich info on every gun he gave.
I feel having him examine the guns in the games examination / test fire would have been a good addition .
For sure this, a real missed opportunity
@Mati Mikk what Napalm means is the game itself have a test fire range complete with gun animations for each weapon
You can take any firearm in the game and go to the virtual fire range, mostly used to hear the audible que over distances
This video helped the Devs correct the Sparks LRR - thank you!
Super interesting! Really happy he took some time to look at these weapons from this awesome game.
Always amazing content when the Royal Armouries get involved.
Id love to see him cover the Metro series weapons. lot of weird janky guns in that game
9:52 Lul, Crytec Devs saw this and reworked the reload.
I would love to see a reaction to the "Verdun" and "Tannenberg" games and their more realistic approach to ww1 combat
Wow, I’ve never heard him so enthusiastic about a gun as he was for the shotgun at 3:25
Jonathan Ferguson : pause!!!!!!
Lead gun animators : I'm in danger
0:11 I am honored
Lol. You don't exists
Please do both "Squad" and "Hell Let Loose" I would love to see it!
They really only care about the interesting guns of the series, stuff yoy don’t usually see. Most of the stuff in both games are generic
Thrilled to finally see this one! I wish we could've gotten Jonathan's thoughts on the way sound is handled in the game though. Particularly from long distances away, I've never played a game that handled gunfire sounds so effectively. Also kind of wish you'd focused on the more historical guns in the game, like the Lebel, Martini-Henry, or the Vetterli, rather than the novelties, but beggars can't be choosers, eh?
Hope you guys will make a Part 2 for Hunt Showdown, there's a lot more weapons in the game it'd be cool to have Jonathan analyze, such as the martini, bomb lance, knuckle knife, officer carbine, and some of the talon variants
It would also be cool to show him some of the custom ammos that exist in the game (penny shot, poison, dragon's breath, etc) to learn about how realistic/unrealistic that ammo might be for the game's time period
Hunt Showdown just gave you guys a shoutout in a recent update, saying they'd taken on board some of the comments and made changes! How amazing is that!
Fun fact: the devs saw this video and corrected their mistake with the sharps/sparks reload animation
Hunt: showdown is so under rated
They should have had a SP campaign or something like L4D then for their super interesting concept and then super turn off Online PvP only and the majority of people there are people with 1000s of hrs
@@lutherheggs451 It was originally pitched as a l4d clone and they changed their mind, I believe it was called horrors of the gilded age, there's gameplay footage of it on youtube and it looks pretty garbo
@@lutherheggs451 I'm really glad that they made the game they did instead of going for what they thought would sell better, which is what you suggested.
Can y'all let him know that they did make a centerfire lemat revolver and carbine? 1870-1880's
How come we didn't get a follow up to this video? Hunt Showdown has a lot more guns that Jonathan would enjoy seeing.
I'm afraid your comment aged terribly in less than two weeks
@@TheSundayShooter I prefer to think of it as "great minds think alike".
Another excellent video and time spent with Jonathan is always time well spent. I would like to see him spend some time reacting to the guns from the multiplayer FPS games Tannenberg and Verdun.
Have him react to Squad!
