I want Jonathan to look at Titanfall weapons, the Anti-Titan weapons and stuff like the EPG and Sidewinder. And don't forget to confuse him with the Softball with extended mag!
Something to take away the pain of the cancellation.
a man can dream
Yes, I've been asking for this for years! The plasma rail gun on Northstar in Titanfall 2 is a great comparison point to this game's coil gun.
Please yes. Apex bad, Titanfall good.
If they ever do, it would be really cool if they could highlight the implied relationships between the weapons even going into apex. Some of them stay the same, while some of them are later versions of the same lineage. The shortbow, r- x10, and maybe the r-9x weapons appear to be part of the same in-universe modular weapons platform, reconfigured for different rolls.
Is he Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history?
Did someone say Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history?
I think that's Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history!
I knew it! He IS Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history
I hope we get to see more of Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history!
You are all wrong. Clearly this *is* Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the U.K. which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history.
The "This is Jonathan Ferguson" will truly never get old
neither u get sick of it
“This is elon musk”
@@demolition3612 I just vomited thank you
@@dangun2607 squats 💪☺️
Interesting fact too, he's the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal armouries museum 🤣
Jonathan - the bit with the missile at the end spiralling around in a corkscrew, that IS an accurate real world thing that many first-generation guided missiles did, it's called Beam Riding and is to do with the limitations of early guidance systems which relied on the launcher providing a guidance beam for the missile to follow.
A beam (laser or radar) on the launcher illuminates the target and the missile corrects its course repeatedly to stay within a "cone" around that beam. It has to spiral because if it travels straight, it will block the path of the beam that it is being guided by! There are videos out there of real beam-riding missiles and this is exactly how they fly!
First generation guided missiles were manually steered! SACLOS stuff can spiral to not block the guidance beam or the IR flare at the back of the missile that is tracked by the launcher (by the way of having the engine off-center causing the spiraling).
Jonathan’s face when holding the ak is so pure and wholesome to me I don’t know why.
В автомате Калашникова есть своя уникальность, наверное, поэтому Джонатану так приятно его держать.
If I were a AAA FPS developer, I'd hire Jonathan as a weapons consultant. Imagine how cool a 100% accurate arsenal would be in a next-gen title
A lot of these companies hire people with credentials like his (in fact, iirc, he was brought in for consulting work on some AAA projects. Can't remember which ones.) Just that their advice may or may not make it past previz for a variety of reasons (ex, if a game lets players customize guns for micropayments, any realism in how the gun can be customized falls out the window)
Better yet, Jonathan also has an understanding for when and were inaccuracies make sense, so in places where 100% authenticity is impossible, he is very capable of still having it feel right.
I remember correctly he has worked as a consultant for a couple of games, don't remember which ones tho.
That depends entirely on how much they'e end up actually listening to him.
Ian McCollum, himself pretty respected expert on historical firearms was consultant on BF1 and some of the weapons still ended up with some weird inexplicable design changes (not to mention they turned WW1 into submachineguns galore)
@@Sseltraeh89 Authenticity compromise is necessary to have a good gameplay. The only problem is trying to tow the fine line between suspension of disbelief and flat-out insulting charade
I would really like to see Jonathan taking a look at the guns from Generation Zero. Mainly to see him trying to say "Älgstudsare" and "Pansarvärnsgevär"
Panzervahrnsgewehr, he might do well with, he's likely run into it before. Ahlgstoodsahre is likely to be more of an issue.
Best part of Generation Zero are the sublimy lazy "leagaly different names". The m/46 kpist, the N-16, the AL-76 etc.
Yea, pansarvärnsgevär he might be able to understand. But älgstudsare is probably gonna be harder for him to pronounce, and even if one translate it it doesn't get much better.
I'd love to see that too, always thought the guns in GZ were very well made.
@@mooneyes2k478 Panzervahrnsgewehr and Pansarvärnsgevär are pronounced differently though
Surprised Johnathan wasn't aware of the fact the upgraded makarov is based on the RAMA 1130, the Soviets designed a prototype smg built onto the reciever of a makarov, with a rectangular frame and a very small square bolt instead of a slide.
Johnathan is well-versed in a lot of weapons, but if the Royal Armouries doesn't have any copies or documentation on the RAMA 1130, then he's not going to be familiar with the design. I'd personally like to hear more about it myself 😀
this might be a job for Ian McCollum.
That particular weapon is incredibly obscure and never left the prototype stage and I don't think he usually talks about weapons that weren't actually put into service in some way.
@Richie While the videos he does in collaboration with GameSpot generally have him talking about weapons that saw service or were officially adopted (even if only as a comparison to various video game weapons), he's talked about a few mystery guns that were donated or bought by the Royal Armouries for the collection. Just watched one of his RA videos about a pistol made by a female gunsmith in the 1820s-1830s that used a firing mechanism design that bridged the gap between flintlock and cap & ball weapons. Presumably never went anywhere widespread with the design, though it was similar to more well-known patents.
@Reanu Keeves Didn't have a name per say...title of video was something in the vein of "Mystery Pistol by Female Gunsmith??"
The spinning rockets might be influenced by the AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile, early models of which took a sort of snaking path towards the target due to the way the mechanically-scanned infrared seeker worked (hence the nickname "Sidewinder").
I was thinking more like the Kornet missile system (the Soviet answer to the TOW), which spirals because the smoke trail from the missile would otherwise interfere with the laser targeting system, and whose missiles also travel relatively slowly.the
I thought it was weirder that the launcher itself had a rifled barrel, probably what induces the spin
@@Echohawkdn I was very much thinking Kornet as well. It’s a Russian, fairly slow spiraling missile. Not hard to see where this influence came into play.
@@Echohawkdn yes. Actually most laser guided systems, where the laser and the Munition is fired from the same position, spiraling or zig zaging....
@@insomniacryan9916 also from аркан missle
From a sound design standpoint, I like the deep bass of the soviet energy weapons, as opposed to the more conventional high pitched pew pew.
something something hard bass something
That little electric pistol sounded like it was gonna start playing dubstep
What I love the most about Jonathan is that he's a gamer who understands why things are sometimes designed the way they are, even if it's not accurate in the slightest. Whether it's just for balance reasons or even aesthetics.
I think the spinning missile is a nod to a plethora of russian ATGMs systems like Konkurs and Kornet which have a slight spiral flight pattern.
Any guided system that relies on a targeting beam that comes from the launcher has to fly like this so as not to block the targeting beam.
@@samwalker7567 yeah, surprised he doesn't know that since the british were early adopters of beam riding (1944) and the starstreak in current use is also a beam rider (well its submunitions at least)
in terms of the Makarov, I think the reload animation is actually correct because he does seem to use the catch on the bottom and pull the mag out partially before flicking the gun
Was about to point that out as well. In the game clip the character does use the mag release correctly from how he grabs the bottom of it.
It's just overall slower and more finicky style when you have to: 1. operate to magazine catch, 2. flick the gun to the side (the spring will still induce friction as it is continually pressing against the magazine so flick it hard to gain that momentum), 3. bring the gun back to your hand, 4. insert magazine.
Instead you could just skip that 'tacti-cool' and do it conventionally, faster and guaranteed to work. But the idea was to make it "cool and modern" so heck with the real world physics....
Minorly disappointed we didn't get to see Jonathan react to the default KS-23.
Particularly with how you fire/pump it when using it one-handed! Would have loved to hear his thoughts!
The last weapon seems to my aviation eye very similar to an FFAR (folding fin aerial rocket) pod turned into an infantry weapon. That would explain the shape of the munitions and the spinning behaviour.
Exactly my thoughts too - it has to spin because it's using old beam-riding guidance, where the rocket traces a path around the beam in the centre!
Tashkent is actually a town in Uzbekistan, where Johnathan's PM is might be produced
Well, at 2:09 - 2:10 at 0.25 speed - it is exactly what you need to do a "John Wick" flip - main character in the first part reach mag catch and pull half of the mag out - and in the second part he flip mag out.
Also, about 'upgraded' Makarov - it's look like a 'sovietpunk' version of 'Prototype 1130' from RARAN - it's essentially a full-auto Makarov prototype from 1998. Neat.
The goal, I think, was to make a Makarov capable of suppressive fire
Thought exactly the same thing....what he says would be needed is exactly what we saw in the game lol
((the reload on the makarov IS actually pushing the heel release with the other hand, kind of hard to see but its there))
I absolutely love the fusion of real world guns mashed with sci-fi upgrades!
maybe a weird game for him to do
but "from the depths" would be cool to see him judge the cannon building mechanics
I like it, but he has said before that he is much more of a small arms guy then his title give him
6:52 That's not just a grip tape, that is an insulation tape wrapped around a grip. It's rubbery, traditionaly blue (though it does come in other colors) and has a reputation of keeping things wrapped with it together forever.
For any of you with an interest in these videos, especially the history, I can truly recommend a visit to Royal Armouries. Was there from 12pm to 5pm (when it closes) and still didn't get round all of the exhibits. Great day out by yourself or with friends and family. 👍
Tashkent isnt a model, its the city where this makarov were made
I recall some missile have the spiral travel pattern to avoid blocking the guiding system line of sight.
I’d love to see the Turok series analysed by Jonathan all the crazy weapons will be great fun to see
Cerebral Bore !!!
Actually in some laser guided atgm's like 9m133 kornet, the rocket needs to spin in order for the laser to track the target, but its not as big of a spin spin as depicted in the game.
I would love some look at the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series guns, with their legally different but also very interesting mix of russian and western guns.
Jonathan explaining guns is probably one of the most wholesome things to my eyes and ears
You guys should check out the guns of Generation Zero. Its a shooter set in 1980’s Sweden with similar robot invasion retrofuture vibes
You spend half the game looting old Volvo station wagons, highly recommend
@@wyattr7982Sweden isn't a real country
3:53 Perhaps the thing hanging off the back where the mag release should be is a sort of extended lever to more easily use the mag release. it even works with the extended mag because the mag blocks you from accidently pulling on it. I never knew how awkward the mag release of a makarov was.
Gentlemans, ve need more Tarkov episodes. I miss Jonathans existantial crisis against cursed weapons.
Should've shown Jonathan the "revolver" receiver upgrade for the Makarov. The box on the end of the KS-23's mag tube is supposed to be an extension for more rounds. Also, the electric doodads on the conventional guns are supposed to increase the amount of energy firing them charges your energy reserves. Another cool thing is that if the KS-23 isn't upgraded to be full auto and you use it while using an ability you sorta chuck it to grab the pump with one hand.
For anyone wondering that Makarov grip is from the modernized PMM that has a double stacked magazine so thats why it looks so hefty.
Well now we really need Jonathan to look at the guns from the Bioshock games.
2:10 we see the character push the heal release, pull the mag out a little, then Wick flicks it, just as Jonathan is saying it can not be do.
Jonathan taking a look at Atomic heart weaponry? man that was fast! Wasn't expecting this to be touched on so soon
I'm just waiting for the day when Jonathan reviews a game with a plasma, laser, or some kind of energy weapon and just pulls one out of the armory.
15:15 it's actually lampshaded in the description - it's a miniature "pure energy" (or rather "projectile vaporized into plasma") weapon based on a regular mass-driver railgun.
I've been watching to this expert reacts series every week since the very first video around 2 years ago and I always hope to see Jonathan analyze the weapons of my childhood game, the good old "Vietcong". So please gamespot, make my wish come true!!!
I second this motion. Vietcong and the sequels made by Pterodon were awesome, and one of the first game to put Czech Republic on the gamer map.
The Vietcong devs later joined Illiusion Softworks (of Mafia fame), which later became 2k Czech (Mafia sequels).
The air to ground missiles on the Ka-50 are spin stabilized with an exhaust system from the rocket and they fly a lot like that launcher at the end, and sometimes they do spiral and hit the ground or a tree, a building or just miss the target all together.
2:03 If you slow down the video during the "John Wick reload" then you can see that the animation does exactly what Mr. Ferguson said it did not.
Jonathan's comment on railguns/coilguns reminds me of Nebulous: Fleet Command, where railgun weapons benefit from a combination of kinetic and energy weapon modules because it's a kinetic weapon with an energy-based firing system.
17:40 the VIHR rocket seems to spiral when it goes for a target, its a late ussr air to air/ground missile that is guided by the helicopter to hit planes or tanks.
2:10 if you look closely, the reload is acually correct, being done just like Jonathan had explained earlier. Im suprised he did't see that it was good.
Love how when he got out the macarov he just slid his hand on the back of it and it made a noise, when nothing happened. The slide didn't even move.
I'd like to see a take on Perfect Dark's weapons, mostly because I was recently playing Zero and noticed the P90 actually models the rounds moving through the magazine as it fires. Surely that's worthy of some note.
The Electro's model is actually dramatically shrunken down in game for whatever baffling reason. There's a frame or two in the animation of picking it up where it reveals the grip is the size of a bic lighter
blue ducktape is a soviet meme. Essentially, people believed that blue (and only blue, other colors don't work) ducktape has magical properties that make everything work better,
01:27: he doesn't even rack the slide. If you watch it in slow motion, he just slides his fingers back along the slide, the slide doesn't move, and a "click-click!" noise plays
1:00 "Tashkent" is the city, so, it's city of manufacturing i believe.
Fun fact, Jonathan: the blue tape on weapons thing started with the modder asXas who put it on his excellent Fallout 4 weapon mods. It's fun to see it got so popular it actually made it into other games' official weapons.
Tashkent is the name of the city btw:)
Anyone else notice the camera clip inside the ak when aiming and firing
Wow, last time I was this early to anything, I spent 3 weeks in the NICU. Pretty cool.
Grim!
Would love to see Jonathan covering games' easter eggs, like weapons from COD zombie or borderlands which have names that are referencing something.
he just described exactly what the character does in game for the makarov reload, watch the animation and slow it down, he presses the mag release on the bottom, pulls it out part way, then flicks it out.
As always love this series
Something Jonathan didn't notice is that part of the shotgun upgrades is to add a square-ish drum mag on the front of the pump...yes, like that TF2 shotgun that broke his mind
I don't know if anybody already said this Jonathan but the physical things that those guns are shooting is the polymer that is used in game for all the crazy science.
Would be funny to see Jonathan's take on the "guns" from Monster Hunter. I'm sure the absolutely absurd size of them would throw him for a loop, alongside the very wacky designs on some of them
Una pregunta. Cual son las medidas de un cartucho de la KS23 ???
Es para hacer una maqueta del arma.
I always love videos with Johnathan Ferguson keeper of firearms of the royal armory museum in Britain
the way Jonathan describes how the makarov pm "john wick" reload should go is exactly how it goes, if you slow down the video he hits the heel release and pulls the mag part way out before flicking it to the right
I really want Johnathan to explore the firearms of Homefront: The Revolution. I mean, sure, most of them are pretty standard looking designs, but I'd love to hear his take on the weapon conversion system that the game is known for.
10:50 He probably sticks it between his torso and his arm to hold it in place whilst still having free movement of the elbow and below to reload. Makes sense to me.
I would like Johnathan to react to the Brothers In Arms games - maybe compare the Road to Hill 50 to Hells Highway?
Homefront The Revolution has some interesting gun combinations that could be interesting to look over
Perhaps the Electro might be something like the Leyden Ball from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? Launching a highly charged capacitor projectile which discharges on contact?
The electrical thing in the stock of the shotgun does look like a motor.
The Makarov PM looks like it was modeled with Marschal grips.
I really want to see Jonathan break down the guns from The Order 1886
Please Jonathan, made a video on *METAL GEAR SOLID 3* weapons.
So many weapons in MGS3 to react and comment on like the Patriot's infinite ammo magazine, the EZ tranq gun, Snake's customized officer M1911A1, Snake whittling the pistol grip to use a knife for CQC, Ocelot's SAA juggling skills, The End's paratrooper tranquilizer Mosin Nagant, the Davey Crockett recoil-less nuclear launcher and Eva's chinese mauser clone.
There are so many more other interesting trivias and weapons in MGS3 so please gamespot and Johnathan make a video for the game.
Tashkent is actually a name of a city where the pistol was manufactured)
I think spiralling of the rockets is modeled after the laser-guided ATGMs. There you have a rocket spiralling as you want to avoid illuminating the back of the rocket instead of a target.
would love to see a video on the Army of Two games!
Always enjoy your videos as an avid gamer. Came across something new this past week so how about the guns from Operation: Harsh Doorstop?
I am both relieved and disappointed they didn't show Jon the quantum revolver upgrade for the Makarov!
I wonder if the coil gun energy blast isnt just a visual indicator of a nail or dart because people expect a glow from coilgun projectiles now ?
I'd love to have an Oops All Bullpups episode where Jonathan rates his favorite bullpup weapons from games, maybe split between real weapons and fictional weapons.
The spiraling rocket makes sense when you think that they are actually guided. Like Kornet or Stugna-P ATGM's that are beam riders and thus look like they are wiggling around like that.
Old school heatseekers like Atol also have that circular motion due to how the "bang-bang" non-proportional control loop works and how the seeker head needs to rotate so that it can center on the heat source.
So why not then just rotate the whole rocket and get much simplified mechanics and control as a bonus?
when he talks about the Makarov at 2:10 saying the game does the reload wrong, the game actually does it correct if you slow down the video the character tugs the mag out halfway and then throws it the way he said it should be done.
Everytime you describe guns Jonathan it takes me back to metal gear in of the most accurate I realised today its been 8 years since release of the game and iv started playing it again nothing like the good old days :)
Mgs has had some of the most realistic guns designed
2:05 - If you slow the animation where he flicks the gun, you can see that he did do exactly as you described.
He pulled the magazine down halfway and then flicked it. Maybe it was so fast that you didn't notice, slowing the video down to 0.25 confirmed it, it's a legit John Wick flick.
Was about to say the same thing :)
Still, it probably is impossible to open the latch and pull the mag halfway that fast in real life.
Definitely time for STALKER guns now!
Does Royal Armouries have the GR-1 "Anvil" gauss rifle in its inventory? Would like to see Jonathan's opinion on it.
Also, would like to see him look at Resistance: Fall of Man's guns.
Funnily enough when you look at the Makarov reload animation the character actually does pull the magazine partway out before the John Wick flick.
i know you've done cursed weapons for Jonathan in Tarkov and Call of Duty but you should do Army of Two: The 40th day, make sure you show him the gold plated grenade launcher with under barrel shotgun attachment as well as the diamond encrusted frag grenades
10:55 He holds the stock under his armpit and does a Spetznaz reload
Receiver 2 would be an interesting look for Johnathan I think.
As for the Makarov reload, i think the character does kinda start the normal makarov reload and then flick it out
I'm surprised that he didn't point out the inconsistancies between the gas blocks of the AK's.
The kalash is supposed to be an AKM (the game being set in the 50's), yet the gas block is from an AK74 (the difference being the AK74 type gas blocks are more squared off compared to the AKM blocks which has a more "sloped" look) which didn't come out out until the 70's
The spiral trajectory of the rocket is actually something we see on older manpads, it's due to the older style spin-scan seeker they use.
I would love it if Jonathan took a look at the guns from No One Lives Forever 1 & 2
Fin-stabilized rockets like those of the RPG-7 will corkscrew through the air if one of the fins fails to deploy. Typically this ends when the rocket hits the ground or some other convenient obstacle. Sometimes it will explode, sometimes it will skip-off, go flying in some random direction and then explode and sometime it will stick-in and become a UXO.
One thing to keep in mind with the jank of the upgrades is that the machine that does it is not acting right, so it churns out some weird stuff.
At 2:10 the protagonist does appear to press the heel release, pull the mag halfway out and then flick it out, for some reason.
I would love to see Jonathan look at the guns from Ultrakill. I think there is some stuff that he would have a blast seeing.
Well, I personally don't think that revolver with a strange railgun-esque firing system or jackhammer rocket launcher would be interesting to see into
@@user-cv1dz4pi4u Cool. But I think he will find it interesting.
The weapons are mostly interesting in description from the terminal. In action, there isnt much to look at
@@n0kla Well I mean their uses a very different from many games. I’d like to see him react to projectile boosting or split shots. The nail gun’s magnets would also be quite interesting if they were to show them the use of magnets alongside the saw blades. Rocket riding as well.
Would love to see a home front revolution video, especially with the modding
In the john wick flick it did look like the character clicked the release and slid the mag out a little before flicking, like jonathan said he would have too
The AK model also has the AK74/100 series 90 degree gas block, rather than the 45 degree AKM gas block
