I'm Brazilian, our police used to be forced to use Taurus guns, and i think you were wrong about them, proper garbage would be better at shooting than a Taurus manufactured gun.
So, one guy knows a lot about guns, and the other guy is capable of holding any conversation, regardless of how much he knows about. It's a delightful dynamic.
@@Sgtassburgler some of what he says is a bit sketch, honestly. From what I understand roller delayed blowback systems don't really cause an increase in recoil - the MP5 is considered an extremely low recoil SMG even by SMG standards, and it uses a roller-delayed blowback system. Wouldn't it be notorious for higher than average recoil if a roller-delayed blowback system really increased recoil? G3 does have a mean recoil but I thought that was because of the caliber rather than the roller-delayed blowback system.
@@VynalDerp Maybe the large caliber effects the roller-delayed blowback system? You know, small calibers are better for that type of system, while larger calibers aren't. Or perhaps it has something to do with weight distribution? I don't really know.
@@chrisb5005 i've shot both an M1A and a PTR (G3 clone) and they recoil the same. In general, roller delayed blowback just means you can have a shorter gun and a light receiver in exchange for a heavy bolt. The increased mass of the reciprocating bolt would theoretically mean you have more muzzle flip, but because the blowback is delayed, the recoil impulse is less and it ends up canceling out, making the PTR a softer shooting rifle with a little bit more muzzle flip. This dude knows a decent amount about guns but the fact that he's sperging over modded assets in a 10-year-old RPG made on the Oblivion engine is pretty annoying.
@@VynalDerp The MP5 is considered a soft recoiling SMG as most other SMGs are of simple blowback design. In a simple blowback system the only thing that keeps the breech closed is the inertia of the bolt ant the strength of the recoil spring, this results in a typically higher bolt speed which in turn increases felt recoil. Delayed blowback rifles, 7.62 nato one in particular, tend to have higher extraction pressures and bolt speeds then gas operated rifles of the same calibre and thus higher felt recoil.
@@staffsgtsarge Yes, but unlike in the video I do not believe a roller-delayed blowback system is the issue, note in the video he says "especially" as if it somehow makes the recoil worse?

I recently played an old game that had the Jackhammer as the default shotgun. The first guy I killed who had one got his gun glitched in the ground and I had to leave the area quickly due to the horrible noise it made
Since you covered that I’ll cover the Duplet. It’s a double barrel shotgun from the metro series. It’s the first shotgun you get, and an absolute workhorse for taking down mutants in the early part of the game until you get something like the bicycle gun or the Shambler.
I have to admit, my mind IMMEDIATELY went to PA-Luty's book, homemade expedient firearms, which is a detailed guide sent to the British Gov to prove anyone could build an SMG
I can imagine this happening in actual Fallout where two dudes are going around killing things and arguing about the guns they loot from the bodies of the raiders and poor sods they happen to come across.
There's also the Barrett M82A1 that was made by a photographer because he wanted to shoot .50 cal guns and there wasn't any commercially available and like said story with the British rifle he worked with a small group in a garage to make it and the rest is history about the legendary .50 cal Anti Material Rifle.
"You ever try to kill a plant with a gun its not very effective" -Zach "You cant garden with a shotgun" -James May "Oh yeah? *Bang* Look at that, they have CEASED TO EXIST"-Jeremy Clarkson, using a shotgun to remove weeds circa the early 2000s.
Obligatory comment about how the Pancor Jackhammer was a weapon featured in Fallout 2, so canonically that Pancor Jackhammer has a valid reason to exist in the Fallout universe.
if only pre war american gun companies just waited a bit until they figured out how to make the AA12. then again, the riot shotgun does the exact same thing.
Too bad that Pancor Jackhammer was underpowered when you were able to find it. Unlike winchester city-killker and hk caws shotguns that deal less damage like 3 minimum and 4 max, but you get them earlier and easier.
@@francesco3772 Pancor jackhammer is alot rarer since you have to defeat two enclave troops in new reno or hope to get it in specific random encounter near redding or broken hills or buy it san francisco. But winchester city killer and hk caws are obtained earlier and easier for slightly less damage and less range, but they're obtained when other choices for burst fire rifles are only the ak112 and fn fal which use rare ammo type in that point in the game. While pancor jackhammer has to compete against near endgame weapons.
Congratulations on completely missing the point. He said "I hate it because it's not a real gun and doesn't exist, and everyone always insists on putting it in videogames like it's some kind of mythical god-shotgun" The contention was that it exists in the game in the first place, not the mod.
Usually the people that are around guns a lot get past the honeymoon phase of guns are the best thing since sliced bread, and treat them more like tools, especially military guys. So, pretty solid
@@Zach_Hazard hey, hey, hey, heyyyy.... Sometimes it's a cheap hole punch. My first gun was an absolute GARBAGE Savage 69 12 gauge. It cost 40$ in 2008, and somebody tried to add a new sight, which they drilled through completely, and which blew off like a teeny tiny rocket the first time I put a slug through it, thus adding a NEW HOLE!!! I also thought it was gonna banana peel when I put magnum 00 buck in, but it somehow survived. I still have it, it's under my laundry... I think...
Too bad y’all didn’t mention how the knarly ass Owen gun was designed. So here y’all go if your interested. Basically there was this kid living in Australia (Owen) and he loved designing guns. So he was 12 and he was like “I’m gonna build a machine gun!”; builds the first Owen Gun and just shoots it and messes around and makes it pretty badass. A few years go by and guess what WW2 starts, he joins the Australian Army and gets shipped off to Africa, leaving his cool machine gun in his garage. Now Australia was having a very large shortage of EVERYTHING in the first years of the war, including rifles, tanks, uniforms, and especially SMGs. They were using only Thompsons and they were going broke buying those so they needed a new home grown design. Basically Owen’s mom is going through her garage and finds a fucking machine gun. She’s like “Hmm maybe I should tell someone” so she calls the Army and they show up and see it and go “Damn, badass”. They put it through trial and boom, new machine gun, cooked up by a 12 year old in his garage. Ends up being the Aussie Army standard SMG until like the 1980s.
Best part about the Jackhammer is how the inventor never got around to figuring out the magazine system, so to reload you need to dissassemble it to pull the drum out. He never got around to dissassembly either, so you need a screwdriver to get it apart.
The two that were sent in for military testing both did, but the military destroyed both of them in the course of *very extensive* testing. The surviving example was the first prototype.
As someone mentioned, forgotten weapons DID do a video on it and they apparently cycled thousands of rounds without a problem. They destroyed them some other way though...
Another interesting fact about the Sten gun, they were dropped, disassembled, all over France for resistance fighters - the reason for that is because they were so easy to assemble, they could fit more in drops.
They also dropped a whole bunch all over northern Italy for partisans and a lot of em got captured by the RSI, you can find pics of a whole platoon of dudes all carrying captured Stens.
at one point you could buy a kit of sheet metal books pre cut in such a way so you just had to punch out and bend the parts to make a fully functioning sten...

@@mitchwilliamson5552 Most soldiers are pretty rough on their guns, it's definitely not an environment conducive to longevity of the equipment. It's a large part of why the M9 copped such a poor reputation in the US military, most of what they shot were during training on the range so frequently older and heavily used and abused already so more prone to malfunction. Then too it wasn't a 1911 or American and that doesn't go down well with some so they were predisposed to hate it, but then too the 1911 is so ancient as a design it's had plenty of time to have the kinks worked out and mitigated if not fully prevented such as the hammer bite.

@@CruelestChris right translation would be "Automatic rifle of Kalashnikov". "Avtomat" is a word that can be used for any automatic weapon that is not LMG, MG, or a pistol because in gun context it means "anything that is fired from two hands and goes 'pew' rapidly enough"

@@vincentmercades1687 It's whatever arbitrary system the company came up with. Common themes are year it was designed or put into service, length of the barrel, and caliber, but that doesn't actually mean any company follows this strictly at all.
eh, the actual pancor was REALLY dam useful and theoretically an excellent weapon for what it was designed for. basically a couple guys got back from 'nam and made a gun that did everything they WISHED their gun could do while they were over there ranging from just straight up actually firing when you pull the trigger (you'd be amazed at how many military issue weapons don't do a great job of that even under optimal conditions) to some neat tricks like having an ammo magazine that converts into an antipersonnel landmine. only known downside was being rather on the heavy side since they heavily focused on reliability in the design. in this case only *known* downside is a real qualification though since they only made like, 3, ever. and put all of them through destructive testing, the people who actually did the testing absolutely loved the thing. the only stated reason it wasn't put into full on production is because they didn't think that the people who made it could transition out of the "guys in a garage" stage (literal in their case) and turn into an actual manufacturing company, since this is pretty blatant bullshit theories as to an actual reason abound ranging from plausible to downright silly as tends to be the case with anything that has a big public presence. the "one that exists" is, if I remember correctly, actually a mock-up put together from leftover parts and what was left of the actual prototypes after testing, don't remember if it even shoots but it's definitely not the actual gun that was designed built and tested. oh! right, the reason it gets mentioned EVERYWHERE is because the remaining one ended up in the right person's collection and mock-ups ended up in all sorts of movies, and then in all sorts of videogames once graphics got past the pong stage. it looks a weird mix of futuristc and solid-and-practical that just sorta automatically says "special gun, good special gun" to people.

Some people lack a basic ability to suspend their belief. Even if that's not how something works in real life, you generally can't see the internals-design behind what's in-game. For example, the pancor IS real, and IRL you DO have to take off the entire baseplate to reload it. In most games though the cylinder housing is just designed to open, which would be a quick fix. Too many 'gunsmiths' retooling ARs for a living for creativity or enginuity to exist in entertainment.

Since you covered that I’ll cover the Duplet. It’s a double barrel shotgun from the metro series. It’s the first shotgun you get, and an absolute workhorse for taking down mutants in the early part of the game until you get something like the bicycle gun or the Shambler.
Don't call them "rebel fighters". They were terrorists.

Obligatory comment about how the Pancor Jackhammer was a weapon featured in Fallout 2, so canonically that Pancor Jackhammer has a valid reason to exist in the Fallout universe.
if only pre war american gun companies just waited a bit until they figured out how to make the AA12. then again, the riot shotgun does the exact same thing.
Too bad that Pancor Jackhammer was underpowered when you were able to find it. Unlike winchester city-killker and hk caws shotguns that deal less damage like 3 minimum and 4 max, but you get them earlier and easier.
@@mantassimonis415 the Jackhammer was the only shotgun worth using
@@francesco3772 Pancor jackhammer is alot rarer since you have to defeat two enclave troops in new reno or hope to get it in specific random encounter near redding or broken hills or buy it san francisco. But winchester city killer and hk caws are obtained earlier and easier for slightly less damage and less range, but they're obtained when other choices for burst fire rifles are only the ak112 and fn fal which use rare ammo type in that point in the game. While pancor jackhammer has to compete against near endgame weapons.
Congratulations on completely missing the point.

@@superbroadcaster yeah that's not true
Too bad y’all didn’t mention how the knarly ass Owen gun was designed. So here y’all go if your interested.
Basically there was this kid living in Australia (Owen) and he loved designing guns. So he was 12 and he was like “I’m gonna build a machine gun!”; builds the first Owen Gun and just shoots it and messes around and makes it pretty badass. A few years go by and guess what WW2 starts, he joins the Australian Army and gets shipped off to Africa, leaving his cool machine gun in his garage. Now Australia was having a very large shortage of EVERYTHING in the first years of the war, including rifles, tanks, uniforms, and especially SMGs. They were using only Thompsons and they were going broke buying those so they needed a new home grown design. Basically Owen’s mom is going through her garage and finds a fucking machine gun. She’s like “Hmm maybe I should tell someone” so she calls the Army and they show up and see it and go “Damn, badass”. They put it through trial and boom, new machine gun, cooked up by a 12 year old in his garage. Ends up being the Aussie Army standard SMG until like the 1980s.
Wow! I hope owens family properly compensated for their weapon
@@Vsm426 he received $10,000 in royalties by the military after the war. He unfortunately later died due to gastric ulcer because of his alcoholism.
@@wotwott2319 god what an unfortunate way to go.
Owen gun was last used in Vietnam. Was replaced by F1 9mm smg in 1960s .
At least he died doing what he loved... drinking like every Aussie.
Best part about the Jackhammer is how the inventor never got around to figuring out the magazine system, so to reload you need to dissassemble it to pull the drum out.
He never got around to dissassembly either, so you need a screwdriver to get it apart.
i believe the ones he sent to the military for trials did have a way to remove the magazine effectively
I think the one that still exists, and was used by game devs as a reference, was the tool room prototype. The designer kept it as a personal souvenir.
The two that were sent in for military testing both did, but the military destroyed both of them in the course of *very extensive* testing. The surviving example was the first prototype.
See Forgotten weapons vid on it.
As someone mentioned, forgotten weapons DID do a video on it and they apparently cycled thousands of rounds without a problem. They destroyed them some other way though...
Another interesting fact about the Sten gun, they were dropped, disassembled, all over France for resistance fighters - the reason for that is because they were so easy to assemble, they could fit more in drops.
They also dropped a whole bunch all over northern Italy for partisans and a lot of em got captured by the RSI, you can find pics of a whole platoon of dudes all carrying captured Stens.
Better than the US liberators
at one point you could buy a kit of sheet metal books pre cut in such a way so you just had to punch out and bend the parts to make a fully functioning sten...

There's a pretty large amount of variance, as they were homemade or churned out of various independant machine shops for use in the first and second Chechen wars. Also, holy shit I recognized a gun Zach didn't.
Most didn't have the fancy knurling on the back, but the one used for reference by the mod-maker in question did. Iirc, it was one used by his father or other family member in the war.

eh, the actual pancor was REALLY dam useful and theoretically an excellent weapon for what it was designed for. basically a couple guys got back from 'nam and made a gun that did everything they WISHED their gun could do while they were over there ranging from just straight up actually firing when you pull the trigger (you'd be amazed at how many military issue weapons don't do a great job of that even under optimal conditions) to some neat tricks like having an ammo magazine that converts into an antipersonnel landmine. only known downside was being rather on the heavy side since they heavily focused on reliability in the design.
in this case only *known* downside is a real qualification though since they only made like, 3, ever. and put all of them through destructive testing, the people who actually did the testing absolutely loved the thing.
the only stated reason it wasn't put into full on production is because they didn't think that the people who made it could transition out of the "guys in a garage" stage (literal in their case) and turn into an actual manufacturing company, since this is pretty blatant bullshit theories as to an actual reason abound ranging from plausible to downright silly as tends to be the case with anything that has a big public presence.
the "one that exists" is, if I remember correctly, actually a mock-up put together from leftover parts and what was left of the actual prototypes after testing, don't remember if it even shoots but it's definitely not the actual gun that was designed built and tested.
oh! right, the reason it gets mentioned EVERYWHERE is because the remaining one ended up in the right person's collection and mock-ups ended up in all sorts of movies, and then in all sorts of videogames once graphics got past the pong stage. it looks a weird mix of futuristc and solid-and-practical that just sorta automatically says "special gun, good special gun" to people.
@@evernewb2073 knowing about clockwork drum mags this would be the thing people would hate about that gun, if it went to irl production.

@@masterzoroark6664 the mechanism for arming it as a mine has no interaction with it's function as a magazine...come to think of it I can't remember how that doodad is stored...I _think_ it's a ring set into the front of the magazine that you transfer over to the back of it, can't remember if that was the mine arming part or something else off the top of my head and I honestly don't want to spend the evening looking this thing up again, last time I let myself go down that rabbit hole I ran into all sorts of made up bullshit in between the little bits of actual information.
^ it's been a media thing far more than it ever got a chance to be a real thing and it really shows, not as bad as trying to look up tesla but still pretty bad.
just going off the top of my head aside from the obvious problem of it being heavy it'd probably have some maintainence issues: there's a lot of empty space inside that shell.
@@evernewb2073 Definetly would be a bitch to maintain. Multiple firemode guns with bunch of moving parts or empty spaces are annoying to clean. And that mine thing... this kinda sound complicated, but they might have idea to make it usable by avrage Joe.

Yep, that's what firearms philosophy eventually boils down to. Almost every gun is perfect, and shitty, at the same time. There are none that are only perfect, but some that are only shitty.
That’s pretty beautiful, the way you put that
The M1917 MG is perfect in almost every way imaginable. Best HMG
The colt 1911 and M1 Garand are only perfect.

I don’t know shit about guns, and I never really found the topic interesting until this guy started explaining them. These two are super entertaining in general, though- I feel like their dynamic could make any topic at least mildly amusing.
The worst part of being a gun nut is how movies and video games lose immersion so easily because the guns don't make sense in them
Some people lack a basic ability to suspend their belief. Even if that's not how something works in real life, you generally can't see the internals-design behind what's in-game.
For example, the pancor IS real, and IRL you DO have to take off the entire baseplate to reload it. In most games though the cylinder housing is just designed to open, which would be a quick fix.
Too many 'gunsmiths' retooling ARs for a living for creativity or enginuity to exist in entertainment.

It is the way
Zach, the Mandalorian, and Doomguy as well.
Zach is just your average gun loving American who can probably pick up almost any gun and tell you how it works and who made it. I have an uncle who is a bit like Zach, he knows a lot about guns and he even knows how to build some of them.
so they are both American?
@@monkewithagat8733 most Americans I've met (and I live in the South) are nowhere near as knowledgeable about firearms. Most might own a pistol for self defense and never train with it. The percentage of Americans that go out of their way to be sufficiently armed, trained, and educated about all sorts of weapon platforms is quite low compared to the percentage of people that own a gun but aren't really "armed"
Does that make sense?
Ah, the Pancor Jackhammer. At the end of the day, for all its faults of nonexistence, we can all agree:
At least it's not the Street Sweeper.

@@Poppenheimer69 They made a bad gun and rather than try to fix it they just named it something controversial to try and make money off of the free publicity of being assholes. Then they complained when the gun got soft banned due to them being trolls. So they converted it into a pistol with all of the old flaws plus now it's basically unusable.

Wasn't the ross rifle ok, but had to be kept clean, and the mud in the trenches fucked it up?
Will Shields It was a pretty good precision rifle, but that was the problem. Where the Enfields and Garands were designed to be a bit tougher, the Ross Rifle wasn’t. It was good until any amount of mud got near it and it would cease to function.
36:39
@@dogdogdogdogdog1906 it had a lot of design flaws. After they got most of them fixed it was relegated to sniper duty for the most part.
Will Shields I think it’s more of a myth than actual fact. A lot of bolt action rifles would have problems with mud, Ross Mk. 2 and 3 included. The myth makes it sound like other rifles didn’t have issues with mud. They are still more like target rifles than anything else.
