Im sorry Jonathan, you can't escape your fate.

At this point, if I was Jonathan Ferguson here, I'd really be feeling some massive resentment to COD gunsmith makers to the very core!!
These cursed guns hasn't done this man any favors!
The abyss clearly stared back at Johnathan
he was simply not made for these stresses.
The abyss is no longer staring back, it is creeping ever closer.
He seems sad 😞
ghgj
I think he should just stick to being an Assassin/hitman then
"THIS is Jonathan Ferguson..."
[clip of him sobbing whilst clutching a bottle of whiskey]
"What makes me a good keeper of firearms and artillery? If I were a bad keeper of firearms and artillery, I wouldn't be sitting here discussin' it with ya, now would I?
"and we've totally broken his spirit"
9:20 "I just don't understand the whole model of releasing a realistic shooter and then it devolving over time inevitably into something that's just not. I just I don't get it." We've been wondering this for a while now.
It’s one of the main reasons I don’t play Call of Duty
Any original CoD fan with a brain would think like this.
People actually pay for it
@@NotsilYmerej My friend bough MW3 a while ago. It took him like 20 minutes to find Campaign in the menu. I couldn't even do that. Glad I didn't buy it.
@@MikeSchinlaub I meant they pay for the off the wall skins, but I’m with you on the not buying it.
I'm sorry for the psychic damage inflicted in this video.
Happy (early) April Fools
DAVE used PSYCHIC DAMAGE!
It's super effective!
I saw the anime gun and immediately thought of that "pass to the anime world" grenade from ukraine
yjyj
You're not.
It’s a good thing I love wacky and “cursed” guns, even when realism is thrown off a clif
Jonathan is absolutely correct on the "bald eagle" sound. It is a Red-tailed hawk scream. Bald Eagles sound more like a classic sea gull.
exactly, he surprised me with the clutch ornithology knowledge, more and more reasons to love this man
Even though it’s not the iconic noise, I do still love the Bald Eagle’s call because I’m a nature nerd and grew up watching things like Discovery and Animal Planet
@@RawRamenBoyothe whistling thing they do is awesome, way more raptor.
Why do I get the feeling that it's such a U.S.A. thing to have a glorified fake as the national symbol..?
(*smirks sarcastically in European*)
I hereby swear to Call Jonathan with either his name, Mr. Ferguson or "Jonathan Ferguson Keeper of birds and bird accessories, only in his off time"
6:07
A certified "clip that" moment
“Look at the lack of video game on this gun”
That "uhh" when he reached for the Evo.... I think Jonathan is gonna be making that his emotional support Evo soon
He had his support CZ at the ready 😂
At this point he has every real gun as his emotional support gun
I honestly thought they were gonna bring up the reloading animation. The gun it's based on has a side swing-out tray, instead of a trop tray.
15:53 The sloooow zoom in as Jonathan sloooowly breaks down completely. Chef's kiss.
hearing the muffled gunshots too
The best part of it is Jonathan desperately attempting to collect some train of thought only to immediately drop it in vain and break down into a mix of chuckles and sobbing.
15:53 the moment Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history, questions his life decision.
This is the moment that Walter White became Heisenberg
"Making David Cronenburg looks subtle is a remarkable achievement" may be the best line yet.
I swear to GOD he had brown hair a year ago.
Blame Call of Duty Vanguard.
We did this to him
His Royal Highness looked for His Keeper of Firearms the next day - and found the poor chap disconsolately huddled in a corner; hugging the Museum's entire collection of emotional support MP5's muttering "that video game gun, those waifus, the teeth - the teeth!"
Saw this comment before I watched the whole video. Now I understand. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Honor_and_Steel It would be hard not to understand. The horrors.
Fun fact about the Bacon Power TAQ-V: That skin appears to be based on the Porsche 917/20 "Pink Pig" race-car, a Le Mans race-car which had a livery that looked just like this paint-job. I imagine the additional stickers are somewhat like sponsor-stickers found on such racing liveries, too.
True, would have figured Johnathan would be a car guy since those hobby-groups usually overlap
jyj
Huh. I learned something today.
Also now adding another point into my belief that more furries are into car culture than not, as the crossover I've seen is only growing.
You can see pretty much that design as a poster in many butcher's shops, though (which is what the Porsche livery was based on), so it might not have come from the car, but direct from the shop wall. [shrug]
Yep, definitely based on the Pink Pig.
“This is Jonathan Ferguson”
*Sinking into the endless void of night, the abyss calling to him*
At this point, I’m convinced that someone on the dev team is a fan of the show and purposely makes the most cursed guns they can think of for the sole purpose of being showcased on these episodes.
I could see it, he's had devs adjust games before lol
Emotional Support Tec-9 has entered the building.
I had no idea COD had gone this far off the deep end. Fun to watch from a distance, but playing this would probably give me a migraine
They need something to bring more people to the game. Especially since it's so deep in moral debt.
@@k_isforkaito.They've only been adding things that keep me from wanting to play it😂
Essentially no difference between CoD and Fortnite aesthetically at this point. Its funny they obviously have children as their target audience with these skins yet the game is PEGI 18😂
@@flyingmanforfun
As someone who grew up on stuff like CoD 1 and 2, and later on adored MW '19, I significantly prefer Fortnite these days.
COD having stuff in it that wouldnt be allowed in TF2 because it is too goofy is not something i thought i would see.
6:07 now it's living in my head rent free.
The pink SCAR is definitely based upon an old famous race car. The Porsche 917/20 which raced back in 1971, racing in endurance races such as the 24 hours of Le Mans. It's a cult classic and is known as the "pink pig". If you look up pictures, it's very clearly based on it!
It's also just a butchers diagram of a pig
Oh cool, yeah i dig it. Appreciate the little bit of history
@@whitehuayra absolutely and that's what the car was based on, it's obviously going to resemble both, but for me (and other racing car fans) I see that design and think of the Porsche livery, particularly as the colour and font is very similar
Soon Jonathan gonna have a breakdown like WingsofRedemption " I can't do it! I can't take this sh! t no more man "
"Hey! Look here! Listen!"

“I don’t understand the whole model of releasing a realistic shooter and then it devolving over time inevitably into something that’s just not”.
Neither do we, man…..
Money. It's not complicated

who said cod was a realistic shooter? cod isn’t a realistic shooter
you, jonathon and other mil sim nerds need to fix your priorities
@@lifeisshrt7929 it could still be immersive without being realistic.
9:20, oh thank god I'm not the only one. Lack of visual cohesion in games is driving me nuts.
Why have a consistent art style when people would pay half the price of a whole game for silly skins?

@@mistertililing5933 activiosn: 'Hired!'
5:42 "Hold my Light beer." Your words cut deep Johnny Boy.
i died 😂
14:38 "The abyss returns even the boldest gaze"
I won't lie, i was genuinely speechless when i saw the anime girl animation.
'These are all really good queries, none of which I can clarify to any degree' is a baller response that I need to remember for personal and professional use 👌
14:56 "Hello Darkness my old friend"
Please Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, break down the weapons from *METAL GEAR SOLID 3* before the remake comes out.
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 Type 17 mauser clone with her "bandit shooting" technique.
There are so many more other interesting trivias and weapons in MGS3 so please Dave and Johnathan, please consider making a video for the MGS3.
I think MGS5 is the only one they've done. Might as well go through 1, 2, 3 and 4 chronologically, tons of content left in that series. MGS3 is the obvious choice, but I'd be very interested in MGS4.
gkgk
I could swear they did MGS3, I remember him talking about the Patriot and Eva's Chinese Mauser, but maybe not. I do want to see him go over MGS4 though, that game has highly accurate recreations of an arsenal of firearms, which seems like a waste because the game is third person you rarely see the weapons up close, you can complete the game only using less than half a dozen of them, and the game has a bunch of sci-fi elements.
IIRC Jonathan said that he wants to play the Metal Gear games first. When will that happen? Nobody knows. Also the decision lies with GameSpot.
yio
That AK 74m might be actually most cursed in the museum lol
Jonathan makes a great point in that Call of Duty used to not have these. Like, even the more egregious earlier CoDs generally just had colorful skins and smiley faces as reticles on your red dot, and then at some point the microtransactions just made them lose the plot.
The bacon scar looks like a Porsche race car livery that they used awhile ago
Came here to say that. It definitely looks like the pink pig 935/78.
1970's 917. A genuine classic german humor.
Good eye! It's a reference to that very same car and livery.
jyj
It's also a just a pig diagram. 917 is an S tier car don't get me wrong. But the livery is just a diagram that was and is used by itself, separate from the car. It's just a pig diagram not necessarily a nod to the porsche(they just both use the same diagram as a livery) unless the game specifies otherwise. I don't plan to play it
11:28 “note the lack of video game”-Johnathan Ferguson
I'm not really surprised, considering what he was currently dealing with, but Jonathan forgot to mention that the Evolvys in MWIII has a top-opening feed cover, despite the extremely prominent, black on top of baby diarrhea brown side-opening feed cover the gun was *_designed around_* being right there.
yea would have been fun to see Dave show him that, lul him into a false sense of security before showing the true curse!
"oh, so thats why its cursed, theyve broken the gun. well thats not as bad as i was expecting given what weve already see- oh there it is!!!"
Id actually think a series where Johnathan reviews the guns of animes like vash's revolvers in trigun or the guns used in Black lagoon or alucards pistols in Hellsing.
I'd love a series like that.
I second this.
Personally I’d be more interested in him talking about wolfwoods punisher rather than vash’s .45 long colt.
@@sirshotty7689
"The cross is a gun?"
"No that's silly. It's a gun and a rocket launcher and a holder for 1911s"
6:06 Jonathan's ADHD kicks in
11:15 That look of disappointment, confusion, and despair.
For me is that look of : "So where did I put that bottle of Scotch?"
yjy
I thought he was getting up to leave just after that! 😆
he is genuinely saying to himself how much does this episode continue
Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Avian and Avian Accessories at the Royal Aviary Museum in the UK which houses of collection of birds from throughout the world.
17:32 "look how they massacred my boy"
...so that SCAR is a reference to a '70s Porsche racing car, a 917-20 from 1971 at Le Mans. I've no clue why they did that with a gun, but...
someone at Infinity Ward must like the Pink Pig
yjyj
Interesting!
Fun fact:
Porsche did a homage of the 917/20 Pink Pig livery for one of their 911 RSR's, back in 2018, and it happened to win its class at Le Mans that year.
Maybe Porsche should paint their cars in butchers' diagrams more often 😅
щгщ
7:15 pork, surely. I suspect a reference to the Porsche 917 ‘Pink Pig’.
The gun at 7:01 is also (I think) an homage to a Porsche 917 from back in the day. They called it the “Pink Pig”
7:08 The TAQ-V Bacon Power is an homage to the Porsche 917/20 Pink Pig race car!!
I think I saw Jonathan’s soul leave his body about halfway through the episode. Poor guy looks so defeated.
Am I the only one who thinks that weird Tommy-fied Tec-9 looks kinda neat? Because I think it looks kinda neat. It's got a sort of dieselpunk look to it.
If it was in Marauders, sure :)
If it was in like Wolfenstein, maybe; This ain't it, Chief.
Might be, the wooden foregrip might just snap off at some point
I really like how Dave is more involved in these videos now
15:20 That's something I never once expected to hear. Not just that anime has faithful representations of firearms, but "in all media". A country that won't even let you buy a hunting rifle has the media containing some of the most faithful representations, but the US seems to struggle with the concept. Fascinating.
They won't let you buy a hunting rifle, but they have an absolutely obsessed community of airsoft fans who would totally buy real guns if allowed to.
@@Moonstone-Redux Given the lengths train otaku go to, if Japan allowed its citizens to buy firearms, there'd suddenly be hundreds of de facto firearms museums. I'd bet money on it.
The Trenchsweeper.
Kid: I want the Tommygun.
Mom: We have the Tommygun at home.
(Tommygun at home)
"hold my... LIGHT beer" is one of the best lines ever delivered in this series.
I just love Dave and Jonathan’s chemistry when it comes to the series. Keep up the great work, guys!
8:05 this skin actually references a historic Porsche racing livery
0:00 already you can hear David is holding the laughter and Jonathan is about get ptsd🤣
Regardless of gun accuracy the art team looks like they're having fun.
9:16 sums up the CoD franchise so well!!
On the one hand I feel so sorry for poor Jonathan. On the other, I come here weekly to see his slow descent into insanity.
10:23 It's skeletonized.
Well played...
@@jonathanferguson1211 Wow I hadn't expected a reply from you. Great work, you make amazing content.
I assumed that was the pun they were working with when they made it.
You could be right! @@thomashanson6603
15:20 Gosh, that made me wish Jonathan would review the guns from Ginslinger Girl.
Or Girls' Frontline.
@@BlackRockStella The guns or gun girls
@@arran4285 Of course the guns.
Majority of them have cool details on their artworks. Though I admit few of them have inaccuracies.
16:43 he was so disgusted by the skin it didn’t register that the real FN doesn’t have a top feed system
11:33 "Note the lack of video games"
that sounds so aggresive is actually really funny
13:25 Did... did Jonathan Ferguson, 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, just ask us to discuss the pros and cons of demon bullets?
However much you're paying Jonathan for his appearances, it's not enough.
"What's in the pink tubes?"
Pure estrogen ❤
upgrade from the saiga 12 method I see
I need me that gun
yjyj
Guilty 3:01 as charged
"Ohhhh Nooooo".. "Ohh. God no."
I love Jonathan in COD pain. Well done CS! 😂❤
You can see the disappointment in his eyes, I'm so sorry Johnathan.
I never thought a gun could disturb me. Then I see the teeth gun in this, the last time they showed a gun shooting teeth wasn't nearly as bad, somehow this one was worse.
15:53 The moment that breaks Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history
Jonathan Ferguson (insert job title) casually namedrops one of my favorite movies at 17:12. my day is complete.
@ 7:20 that SCAR skin is actually an homoge to a Porsche. I believe it was the 962 but that could be wrong. They raced at le mans with the car painted like that, and the livery is in the later Forza Horizon games
Where's the emotional support STG 44
The teeth mg is just straight up horrifying
It is, and props to the model makers, as it's well made. But that's where the issue is, and whoever made it, or came up with it, needs to probably work on horror games.
It kinda reminds me of the MP5 Scp.
"not historically significant, unless you count action movies, which I do" - and that's why he's the best expert reacts xD
The tubes. Whether it's large diameter electrical cables or just tubing, this has become a thing. I wouldn't call it a trend, but it happens too often. I bet that you've covered the mysterious tube guns often enough that you could make a pretty funny montage of Jonathon's reaction to this hilarious feature from past episodes.
Hold my light beer was genius. Missed the red white and blue muzzle flash on that horrific AR though
I loved the responses to the WSP Swarm questions. "That is a great question." "These are all great queries."
As someone who ran one of the OG anime guns back in modern warfare 2019, like half the appeal is knowing it makes a certain kind of nerd unreasonably angry.
9:20 The answer? Money
8:29, uhh Dave thats a Vepr-12...
Fun fact: The TAQ-V Bacon Power paintjob ( 7:01 ) imitates an IRL paintjob! Alas, it's not for a gun, but for a race car: The infamous "Pink Pig" Porsche 917/20 who raced at the 1971 "24 Hours of Le Mans", also known as the "Big Bertha" among other nicknames.
The "Bacon Power" skin at 7:01 seems to be a strong homage to the "Pink Pig" Porsche 917/20 of the 1971 Le Mans race.
Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, I like your gun shirt :D
This is what happens when cod wants to appeal to kids to make more money rather than listen to fans and make good content
"Hold my light beer"
Sir, you've got humour! xD
"Those rounds are 'to whom it may concern'" is my new favourite metaphor for firing in the general direction of the enemy.
You didn’t even show the worst part of CoDs FN Evolys, it’s a top cover opening LMG instead of the real life side door for loading the belt of ammo
We don't really care about guns, we're just here to see poor Jonathan suffer 🤣
I like seeing more of Dave and Jonathan interacting as the videos go on. Maybe the real cursed weapons were the friends we made along the way.
The chemistry between you two is fantastic! This was hilarious
There's lots of cool black powder guns in Vermintide 2, that'd be a nice change from the more modern or sci-fi stuff
also, just to add on a few examples, a couple of dlc weapons are stuff like crow's feet guns for Saltzpyre the Witchunter or the Troll cannon for Bardin the dwarf! Also classic stuff like the handgonne is Kruber's default gun, Saltz' starts off with a belt of flintlocks, lotsa good stuff there.
The TAQ Evolys even suffers from the top cover opening, when it shouldn't.
Totally missed that lol
Jonathan should do an episode on "Into the Radius"
It's a hyper realistic VR survival shooter. You have to manage individual rounds. I think he will like it.
When I saw cursed guns, I figured it would be more like Samclaymor's stuff, would love to see poor Jonathan's response to Sam's style of cursed guns.
15:20 "The irony is, anime has some of the most faithfully recreated guns in any media." Johnathon reacts to firearms in anime when?
girls frontline when
Black lagoon when?
The TAQ-V Bacon Power is based on a livery painted on a Porsche 917/20 in the 70's. It was nicknamed "Pink Pig" by race fans.
6:48 "Those rounds are to whom it may concern." I'm going to use that from now on; it's amazing
One of the messed parts is that the bundle that sweet siren comes in is used more often than you think. I've lost count the number of matches that had a player use the same bundle.
Jonathan And The bearded Gamer Guy Have amazing chemistry together, its very enjoyable to watch
"hold my light beer" is the single best rip on Americans that can come from the British
The tangent about the lower receiver being a skull had me rolling, Jonathan’s truly one of the gun owners of all time
14:23 The most iconic "Ohhh Nooo"
