This channel is so surreal in the fact it literally emerged out of nowhere and graced us from DAY ONE with quality content, editing, voicing, etc. No other channel was covering the weapons and it was really up to individuals to piece together any weapon lore own their own. I found this channel trying to look up the backstory behind the samurai edge and there was nothing on it except game play and very bare bones explinations. Truly we are blessed to have the Kendo Bros. with us.
You just described the exact reason we created this channel. Someone had to talk about these weapons and the massive amount of thought and effort put into their inclusion in our favorite series. We figured we might as well oblige and give them the detailed breakdowns they deserve!
"Sig won current military trials for only one reason: the 6.8 caliber came to Joseph Kendo (legendary gunsmith number 1) in a vision in which he, while dismissing the ravenous affections of Ada, Claire, Jill, Sheva, and Ashley, created the potent rifle round from the fabric of the universe." - Joseph Kendo
The Hi-Power is one of my favorite Handguns in RE, and in real life. I have some personal attachments to the Hi-Power, as my grandfather carried one for many years as his service sidearm, both as an MP after Vietnam, and his carry weapon as a police officer up until he was forced to replace it with a S&W M&P .40. He told me recently that when he passes away, the Hi-Power will be left to me, as I am the only one in the family who both respects the weapon and am the only one to not ask for anything once he's no longer with us. He's a grouchy old man, but I love him so dearly. I hate to think that my time with him may end soon, but at least I'll have the memories we shared, and the Handgun he bet his life on many, many times.
I was blessed to find a second hoist power way back in 2015 I think. It was definitely used and I think it was an Israeli trade in. 1991 vintage MK-3. It had a lanyard stud on it and the wood grips which were aftermarket were definitely cut to fit around it by a person. It’s an ok reblue job I did but I wanna duracoat it in gloss black this fall. Want to avoid messing with the sights as the gun is dead nuts accurate
Take your remaining time with him seriously. Moreso than his property, I imagine he would want his knowledge, stories, and skills passed onto someone who knows their value and will further pass them on. You never know what kind of knowledge may be lost with him. There are so many things I could have learned from my grandma, but I was too young and arrogant to care.
The first Gun for a person must feel like the first Car or Motorbike, is kinda like a feeling of attachment, don't need to be the strongest or the best overall, just being Reliable as Hell
I suggest that, for one video, you jump franchises to Devil May Cry, and review Dante's default sidearms: Ebony and Ivory. It's somewhat in tone because Devil May Cry started as a version of Resident Evil 4, and both franchises are from Capcom.
@@LegendStormcrow I like to think they aren't weak, but the enemies are actually incredibly durable, and Dante's melee weapons are stronger due to how strong he is. After all, Ebony and Ivory are chambered in .45 ACP, which can kill a cow in single shot.
I feel like DMC is a little farther out from reality than RE or TEW. I feel like it's a little to "fantasy" to fit the theme of the channel. But I'd still absolutely watch it!
@@LegendStormcrow In the manga, Ebony and Ivory were made by Nell Goldstein who's a big part of the character Dante and also the adoptive grandmother of Nico. The guns are not on the weak side perse since it was custom made for Dante who uses guns like one time use weapons and break them all the time.
@@phil_zupra_b5880 Over 50 countries and other licensed copies have been in use with militaries since 1935. Pretty good but although still capable it is lacking modularity.
@@phil_zupra_b5880 My understanding is that they're generally good for the price, but you also get what you pay for quality wise. Which is why a lot of gun types like to shit on it, both in a friendly or malicious manner. I'd happily own one as a spare or holdout if renewing licences weren't such a headache now for me.
@@phil_zupra_b5880 Most of the time people are referring to the trigger pull. Hi Power has the,"Magazine disconnect safety". No magazine inside the mag well aka no mag attach = Gun will not fire. Now because of this safety system design people said that Hi Power has horrible trigger pull. For me I think it all depend on the user.
Y'all have always blown me away with your gun renders, but this one was a cut above. I can tell y'all been putting your work in. Frim the animation, to the sound design. Kudos Kendo Bros.
2:36 "and without a weapon, Claire is forced to flee the building" ......I know the knives in RE games sucked until 4, but shes got a weapon strapped to her literal chest XD
I never knew Claire’s favorite handgun was the Hi Power. What a great choice from Capcom giving her a really good handgun to start out from her own past in the RE series and honestly, I’m happy that the Hi Power is made from the legend himself, John Moses Browning. Awesome video you made Kendo and keep up the awesome work!
Claire Redfield did give the Browning HP Handgun justice, in many of the Resident Evil games they were in together, like the original Resident Evil 2, Code Veronica X, Resident Evil : Outbreak file 2 desperate times scenario at the RPD, Resident Evil The DarkSide Chronicles, and the remake of Remake of Resident Evil 2, thanks for giving Claire Redfield and her personal Browning HP Handgun time to shine, you did a great job here Joseph Kendo and I am impressed with your work ✌️
A well researched, and entertaining deep dive into the lore, history, and overall effectiveness of iconic firearms is always welcome. Love your videos.
Being a big Resident Evil fan during childhood, my sister used to fangirl over firearm models featured throughout the series. Claire was her favorite character, to the point where she ended up purchasing the best all-metal Hi-Power air gun replica you can find on the market, complete with a magazine disconnect, slide lock and craptastic C96-style sights. As I was going through all the oldschool Resident Evil games a couple of years ago it was interesting to stumble upon models she used to talk about, like the SPAS-12 and 93R in Code Veronica or in this case the Hi-Power. It was a case of those good old "Oh, I get it now" moments.
This is the episode I've been waiting for, Claire is my most fav female characters I have a special place in my heart for. My older brother has taught me so much about Resident Evil as RE5 was my very first Resident Evil game I have ever played. Seeing myself as Claire, I see my older brother as Chris. But his fav character is Leon lol. I still look up to my brother how to play Resident Evil to this day and from now on I will be watching this video constantly like the other videos you guys have made. Keep up the amazing content and education of Resident Evil Firearms
Deadass my favorite re videos on youtube. Been a fan of the series my whole life and ur videos are so cool and unique it makes my day everytime you upload. Thank you for the great content
Oh you're doing Claire Redfield gun. She's one of my favorite characters from the series. The one thing I want to know is why would a police officer leave their gun in their glove box in their cop car.
Leon has 2 guns. The Browning Hi Power is RPD standard and was given to him, but he decided to use his VP 70 instead. He probably just left it there in case.
I love the 3D models that you incorporate into each video. Showing the mechanics of each weapon is important for understanding their functions. Thanks for showing and telling👍
I'm wondering if we can get videos on the following characters and weapons? Glock 17 - Ark Thompson (Resident Evil: Survivor) Marlin MR7 - Alfred Ashford (Resident Evil: Code Veronica X) Benelli M3 - Mikhail Viktor (Resident Evil 3: Nemesis) SIG Pro SP2009 - Nicholai Zinoviev (RE3: Nemesis) M202 Rocket Launcher - Brad Vickers (RE1, RE3, RE2 Remake)
Fun fact the blue prints for the Browning HP had to be smuggled out of Europe during WWII (most likely Belgium) and was brought to Canada to continue production. That is why it became the standard issue Canadian Army sidearm for quite a long time.
Oh interesting but this is one of my favorite sidearms to be used in both resident evil and fallout new Vegas never leave home without my trusty hi power for an old handgun it's very reliable compared to a Glock which is made of aluminum and plastic steel mix some times the old weapons are the better choice cuz sometimes old does not mean bad
Hi power is a personal favorite of mine! Also pleasantly surprised at the addition of Clair's S&W 638 she uses in the beginning of RE2. Its a unique looking firearm, don't know if it's a whole episode worth but its fun non the less.
.38 special snubs are still a very popular self defense firearm. Very unobtrusive, extremely reliable in the worst of times and capable of killing most things not already dead. A revolver like the shrouded hammer S&W is really a practical gun in all but a zombie apocalypse
@@matthewcaughey8898 I agree, probably why you only use it for a short while in the game. Tho I am a fan of revolvers in any game so bias wins me over.
That was one of the best ways to bring in an ad- keeping it in the Res World but making it clear it had nothing to do with the actual video. I appreciated the extra effort and details that went into that
clare seems to swap handguns the most consistently in the series, I'm quite the fan of the makarov of all things getting some love in Revelations 2 maybe you can do a video on it sometime.
I own an excellent version of the Browning HP. It's the Israeli clone called the Kareen Mk III which is a souped version of the HP made withstand 9mm+ rounds that were used in the uzis so both rounds can chamber both Uzi and Kareen Mk III
Would you be able to do a cover story on the lighting hawk that's Modelled on the iconic Desert Eagle? As is Resident Evil tradition, the magnum, or Lightning Hawk, is the most powerful handgun in the game, and an absolute beast against its many hideous bosses.
The Browning Hi-Power is a great pistol, accurate and reliable. I even learned how to handle a pistol with one as a kid. I hope to find one some day with walnut grips. Just to have in the collection.
This is my first time discovering this channel....And I have to say..Man I enjoyed the Heck out of this video..Love the voice and the simplicity of editing. Subscribed
Okay. I barely started watching. The ads in the umbrella PC ("Shoot five lickers to get a free gun!") during the AtlasVPN ad are worth the video alone. Your are amazing.
Huge fan and big gun guy. Resident evil is the first game to really get me interested in fire arms. You do great research if you ever would like additional historical information. Or opinions from within the military community about a firearm let me know.
As a gun guy, one thing I always try to take notice of in a video game. Are the guns, the Browning Hi-Power just happens to be one of my favorite 9mm pistols. So I definitely noticed it's appearance in the resident evil games. I was a bummed when I discovered that the Hi-Power wasn't Claire's default sidearm anymore. It's seemed her signature weapon. Just like the Samurai Edge is Jill's signature weapon, or the Smith and Wesson model 29 is Harry Callahan's signature weapon.
For anyone who may not be aware, if you spawn the Jmp hp in re2 remake PC with the use of a trainer, you can actually spawn a model of it without the laser sight attachment.
i never understood why in RE2R it come with a laser sight. i would've preferred it without it first when we find it in the car back, then we would find it later with the high capacity mag... maybe capcom wanted to reinforce that impression of upgraded 9mm handgun and that the higher cap of 13 wouldn't be enough
It's been a while since I played RE2R and I thought you had to find the laser separately... nope. But yeah, it is strange the laser was already attached, weird choice by the devs. I would've liked it as an optional upgrade along with the extendo.
@@lon242 glad i am not the only one. but maybe they told themselves "well , at capcom we're generous, we think that 13 bullets wouldn't be enough , so the laser sight on the pistol would achieve to convince the players to use it as their ultimate upgraded handgun of 9mm"
I love watching these videos, such amazing content breaking down the video game adaptation and the real life counter part. As a firearm enthusiast myself, I learn some cool stuff from this! Great job KGS!
This is one of the only channels that I'm both subscribed to AND have the bell notification thing clicked, I love listening and watching you guys carry on about firearms, it's such a treat for the senses :)
Another fantastic video, as usual! You're probably my favorite content creator, seriously. I think it would be cool to see you cover the various bows/crossbows from the series! They're always one of the most unique weapons in each game they feature in. Keep up the good work!
There definitely needs to be an episode about the shotguns of Resident Evil, especially from the first game/remake, if only to hear the infamous "Jill Sandwich" line and perhaps the "I got a shotgun" line from the Biohazard opening. Aside from the shotguns, perhaps a special video for the unlockable weapons in RE
Just found your channel, and the depth of research done for the weapons in both lore and real life is outstanding! I'd like to see some of the rocket launchers covered, considering they're usually the go-to for the final boss in most Resi games. I think I'd also like to see you delve into other franchise weapons like Snake's 1911 from Metal Gear Solid 3, Dante's Ebony & Ivory in Devil May Cry, and Vincent's guns from Final Fantasy 7, just to name a few. I could understand wanting to stay with just Resident Evil.
The final project of the one and only John Moses Browning...completed after his passing. The pioneer of semi-automatic pistols as we know them today, remembered even today by gun lovers everywhere and by veteran soldiers. 13 9mm bullets, it is decently powered and one of the only relics recovered from Raccoon City. The weapon helped brought justice to the city, however, it doesn't matter when the city had already fallen to walking death itself. A weapon whose main legacy will always be found within the hands of a certain cyclist who went into the city in search of her brother and left the city as a survivor, rescuing two others along with her weapon of choice. Found in a mere glove box of a police cruiser, no less. A true survivor who survived with her will, her wits, and her trusted side arm...
@@kiloklavdi1185 Remembered, indeed. This simple pistol saw many a war where the world was a stage for battle against tyranny... Put into the hands of police officer, soldier, and even criminal alike, this weapon stands as not only a reminder of what FN Herstal would be capable of in the coming years, but also as the legacy of one of the greatest gunsmiths to ever live. It is unfortunate that he never lived to see his creation completed, but he would've been proud to some degree that his weapon became a tool used by humanity facing a horror of our own making... When hell came to Raccoon City, it found itself, once again, as one major player in another war once more...and much like the wars it was in, those in its path would fall like those before.
Well done on the video. The Browning Hi Power 9mm always looked weird to me but since seeing it movies and video games(only seen it in Black Ops 2 and RE2/REmake 2), I've always had a soft spot for the handgun, just like the VP70. I think with the trailer for REmake 4, we need a episode of the Silver Ghost and the Sentinel 9
@2:39 I always wondered why Claire didn't pull out her knife and use it to defend herself. I mean, she DOES have it strapped to her vest, right there. I always remember how a lot of people talk down on Claire's pistol in the original RE2, seeing as how it has less ammo than Leon's pistol, and couldn't get the upgrades that Leon's did. But it's still damn useful in this game. It just needs to be reloaded more often.
Again best video one of the most reliable's handgun in the world of your editing is best and in whole youtube you are only the one who can explain the origin and the back story is of handguns of resident evil
Dude I want Capcom to remake the RE games for VR just like they did with RE4 cause it's soo satisfying to have the weapons in your hands and actually shoot them yourself and reload them. Especially reloading the broken butterfly is satisfying in VR.

@@Zombiekilleryamato i completely memory-holed that remake lol, gonna be interesting no matter how it turns out
Yes! Been waiting for this episode!! What an amazing gun IRL. Thank you John Moses Browning!!
Okay. I barely started watching. The ads in the umbrella PC ("Shoot five lickers to get a free gun!") during the AtlasVPN ad are worth the video alone.
Your are amazing.
Huge fan and big gun guy. Resident evil is the first game to really get me interested in fire arms. You do great research if you ever would like additional historical information. Or opinions from within the military community about a firearm let me know.
As a gun guy, one thing I always try to take notice of in a video game. Are the guns, the Browning Hi-Power just happens to be one of my favorite 9mm pistols. So I definitely noticed it's appearance in the resident evil games. I was a bummed when I discovered that the Hi-Power wasn't Claire's default sidearm anymore. It's seemed her signature weapon. Just like the Samurai Edge is Jill's signature weapon, or the Smith and Wesson model 29 is Harry Callahan's signature weapon.
FN Browning’s Legendary Handgun of the 20th and 21st Century.
For anyone who may not be aware, if you spawn the Jmp hp in re2 remake PC with the use of a trainer, you can actually spawn a model of it without the laser sight attachment.
the was randomly recommended to me. I've always had a soft spot for resident evil but didn't do any further research. I'm so glad I found this channel
i never understood why in RE2R it come with a laser sight. i would've preferred it without it first when we find it in the car back, then we would find it later with the high capacity mag... maybe capcom wanted to reinforce that impression of upgraded 9mm handgun and that the higher cap of 13 wouldn't be enough
It's been a while since I played RE2R and I thought you had to find the laser separately... nope. But yeah, it is strange the laser was already attached, weird choice by the devs. I would've liked it as an optional upgrade along with the extendo.
@@lon242 glad i am not the only one. but maybe they told themselves "well , at capcom we're generous, we think that 13 bullets wouldn't be enough , so the laser sight on the pistol would achieve to convince the players to use it as their ultimate upgraded handgun of 9mm"
I love watching these videos, such amazing content breaking down the video game adaptation and the real life counter part. As a firearm enthusiast myself, I learn some cool stuff from this! Great job KGS!
Incredibly informative. Fantastic.
Awesome job as usual so happy Springfield brought it back with their own version of the Hi Power can't wait to pick mine up.
This is one of the only channels that I'm both subscribed to AND have the bell notification thing clicked, I love listening and watching you guys carry on about firearms, it's such a treat for the senses :)
We very much appreciate it!
The browning hi power mk3 was my first ever handgun that i bought and it’s simply because of RE2.
Magnificent keep up the great work
you are so good at these gun vids. once again you stepped into .....kendo's gunshop.
Great video as always! Love this content obviously, but your presentation has always been fantastic. Also love your shirts had to get one.
We appreciate the support and thank you for buying a shirt!
Another fantastic video, as usual! You're probably my favorite content creator, seriously.
I think it would be cool to see you cover the various bows/crossbows from the series! They're always one of the most unique weapons in each game they feature in.
Keep up the good work!
There definitely needs to be an episode about the shotguns of Resident Evil, especially from the first game/remake, if only to hear the infamous "Jill Sandwich" line and perhaps the "I got a shotgun" line from the Biohazard opening.
Aside from the shotguns, perhaps a special video for the unlockable weapons in RE
love the intro "welcome back joseph kendo here" it's got power to it i just love it when you do it when i watch your videos
Just found your channel, and the depth of research done for the weapons in both lore and real life is outstanding!
I'd like to see some of the rocket launchers covered, considering they're usually the go-to for the final boss in most Resi games.
I think I'd also like to see you delve into other franchise weapons like Snake's 1911 from Metal Gear Solid 3, Dante's Ebony & Ivory in Devil May Cry, and Vincent's guns from Final Fantasy 7, just to name a few. I could understand wanting to stay with just Resident Evil.
YESSS! A NEW VIDEO!! AWESOME AS USUAL! 😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉
Man I love your editing, it really feels "resident evilish"
Awesome video! I was waiting for this one to be covered.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Gr8 vid as usual. Thanks dude
I would like to see the Sigpro and why Carlos didn't have it in the RE3 Remake
Great video guys! So glad your shop is gaining more Notoriety!
The final project of the one and only John Moses Browning...completed after his passing. The pioneer of semi-automatic pistols as we know them today, remembered even today by gun lovers everywhere and by veteran soldiers.
13 9mm bullets, it is decently powered and one of the only relics recovered from Raccoon City. The weapon helped brought justice to the city, however, it doesn't matter when the city had already fallen to walking death itself.
A weapon whose main legacy will always be found within the hands of a certain cyclist who went into the city in search of her brother and left the city as a survivor, rescuing two others along with her weapon of choice. Found in a mere glove box of a police cruiser, no less.
A true survivor who survived with her will, her wits, and her trusted side arm...
Relic of the pass, witness for a survivor. Gone by time yet remembered through moments
@@kiloklavdi1185 Remembered, indeed.
This simple pistol saw many a war where the world was a stage for battle against tyranny...
Put into the hands of police officer, soldier, and even criminal alike, this weapon stands as not only a reminder of what FN Herstal would be capable of in the coming years, but also as the legacy of one of the greatest gunsmiths to ever live.
It is unfortunate that he never lived to see his creation completed, but he would've been proud to some degree that his weapon became a tool used by humanity facing a horror of our own making...
When hell came to Raccoon City, it found itself, once again, as one major player in another war once more...and much like the wars it was in, those in its path would fall like those before.
The Hi-Power was the reason I got really excited for RE2:R simply for how great it was in RE2.
These videos are so comfy. I always watch them as soon as night time hits for the atmosphere.
Awesome vid. Extra special thanks for going over the HP's appearance in games other than RE2 and Darkside Chronicles.
Graphics and editing on this video is 🔥🔥🔥
I've been waiting for this video glad it's here
Always love these videos! I look forward to more in the future!
this handgun has always been one of my favorite handguns ever since I first saw it in re2 thank you for this video.❤
Im buying the springfield SA35, which is a Hi-Power with 15 round mags and wood grips. A modernization of a classic and priced to move.
Pleasure to see you again, Mr. Kendo. Wonderful quality as always :)
I don't know what it is about this channel, but I love it!
Well done on the video. The Browning Hi Power 9mm always looked weird to me but since seeing it movies and video games(only seen it in Black Ops 2 and RE2/REmake 2), I've always had a soft spot for the handgun, just like the VP70.
I think with the trailer for REmake 4, we need a episode of the Silver Ghost and the Sentinel 9
Amazing work. Truely the finest videos about Resident Evil Franchise. You made my day
thats a cool subtle nod to the original on how she retrieves the gun from a cop car.
@2:39 I always wondered why Claire didn't pull out her knife and use it to defend herself. I mean, she DOES have it strapped to her vest, right there.
I always remember how a lot of people talk down on Claire's pistol in the original RE2, seeing as how it has less ammo than Leon's pistol, and couldn't get the upgrades that Leon's did. But it's still damn useful in this game. It just needs to be reloaded more often.
i love the browning hi-power (BHP) easily pne of my favorite carries
I love the hi power in game and anytime I play 2 remake that handgun is my top priority weapon while her revolver is more a less my magnum.
Id love to see clair reapear in game some time
It's been awhile Kendo, thanks for another dope video!
Now this really hits the sweet spot of RE handguns
Again best video one of the most reliable's handgun in the world of your editing is best and in whole youtube you are only the one who can explain the origin and the back story is of handguns of resident evil
I love your videos man keep it up 12/10
Dude I want Capcom to remake the RE games for VR just like they did with RE4 cause it's soo satisfying to have the weapons in your hands and actually shoot them yourself and reload them. Especially reloading the broken butterfly is satisfying in VR.
Another outstanding video thanks Kendo!😎👍🏻
The most iconic handgun to have had more screen time in the Resident Evil Franchise is the Beretta M9/92FS.
