      I love that he gets the form over function aspect of games. Does the chain-gun make sense, no, but does the cool and fun factor override that, yes. Jonathan just gets it. If its a real world gun that doesn’t make sense then its fair game, but guns like plasma rifle and BFG are using tech we can only dream of.

    Actually fun fact for the lore side of things, the reason why you see casings ejected from the gun is because bullets are teleported into the chamber, this explains the reason why you don't need to reload guns too. The super shotgun is the only gun that has a manual reload due to being a much older gun without the new technology.

    Bit of an interesting tidbit: In _DOOM 2016_ , where you go to the lab to recover the BFG, you visit testing rooms that effectively show off the different behaviours the BFGs have had over the years. Then, of course, you go and get the sole functional BFG-9000, and the game immediately gives you a room full of demons to test it on. Really love that moment.

    "Why would an energy weapon have cartridge cases ejecting?"
    One hypothesis I have is that those "cartridge cases" are spent/depleted batteries or energy sources, and that each shot dumps the entire energy content of one of those batteries into the blast. Granted they're small in size, the damage done is also small compared to the various ballistic and energy weapons, but as a backup weapon with functionally unlimited ammunition I think the pistol serves its purpose.

    "Why does it have cartridge cases"
    It could be an early energy weapon where they they couldn't fit a storage for the fuel in the gun itself or couldn't get the energy to travel in the air far enough before dissipating, so the the casing contains a bullet which has the fuel and some machine in the gun heats it up till it turns into that burning hot energy, as the bullet travels the energy inside of it heats up enough to consume the bullet from within, adding to it's mass but till then the bullet helps it keep it's shape. Similar design was used for early Phased Plasma weapons in the Terminator series till Skynet found a way to make Plasma outside of bullets that could travel far before dissipating (basically giving it a magnetic sheath to keep it's shape outside of a bullet).
    TLDR: Early energy weapons might be a weird hybird between current and future weapons till we figure out how to improve them.

      I preferred 2016 to Eternal. In 2016 you can use any weapon for the task. Some are better suited but it's perfectly okay to do whatever. In Eternal it feels like the damage is neutered when not using the specific weapon an enemy is weak to. It's kinda like Dark Souls vs Sekiro; in Dark Souls you can do it your own way but some strategies work better than others. In Sekiro, there is just The Way.

The Ballista uses the same power cells as the plasma rifle, while the chaingun uses the same ammo pool as the assault rifle.

      Some early single shot railgun experiments were powered by 'explosive flux compression generators'. That technology used explosive forces to compress a current carrying loop (a kind of 'inverse railgun' effect) and the resulting amplified current was then used to power the experimental railgun. So you might use cartridges as a propellant source to power some sort of electrical generator as a supporting subsystem for an energy weapon.

    So the next time you wanna say it's weak, it's weak when you're fighting Doomguy's enemies. Firing it at another squishy humie will only get you insta-gore, without even using the charged shot.

    The pistol ammunition isn't fully energy in its nature. Here is description from the game:
    "Every UAC employee is provided a standard UAC EMG (Energy-Matter-Gel) Sidearm upon promotion to Tier 2 and above. This sidearm is reliable and effective at short range. A gravity gear dynamo in the stock charges a capacitor whenever the operator moves. When the weapon is fired, the capacitor compresses up to 4 megawatts of Argent Energy into a hardening plasma gel and launches the slug at high velocity. The gel slug has the same impact properties of conventional ammunition, making the weapon act and feel like a standard ballistic firearm.
    The weapon is constructed of thermally diffusive metal alloys which allow it to discharge rapidly and repeatedly without overheating or compromising the accuracy. The capacitor in the EMG can also be upgraded to concentrate the energy into one large pulse for more stopping power".

    This was really neat! I'd love to see you look at guns from lesser known titles, too! There were some pretty interesting guns from the Turok series, for instance. (Yes, including the remake)

    i really wish you could combine weapon history with historic old games like gokden eye from the N64, like, seeing one of the first P90 3D models would be so cool

    Kinda wish he was shown the clip where Samuel Hayden says "you can't just shoot a hole in the surface of Mars", only to then cut to the BFG-10K clip.

    Good video. It would have been interesting if the Unmakyr from Eternal had made it on to this list as well.

    Perfect timing as I have just finished my switch play though of doom (2016) and I have been waiting for Jonathan to cover doom

    Entertaining watch. Taking a few critical jabs, but never ignoring that the main intention behind them is to look cool or as he describes it "The gun equivalent of a Conan sword"
    And yes. Very wise editing to include the reaction to the BFG10000's firing sequence. It is the funniest bit in game!
    Also never realized the original dooms did indeed lack a traditional assault rife. it was straight to chainguns back then.

      I suspect Doom 2016 borrowed quite a bit from Quake, specifically Quake 2. Quake 2 had a machine gun and a chain gun and its pistol design is very similar to the one that Doom 2016 used. The assault rifle is probably an upgrade of the Quake 2 machine gun.

    I love that he has that gamer background and is able to understand designs from a gameplay perspective :D

    Id love to see Johnathan review the weapons from Ultrakill.

    an interesting editing choice to show the clip of the rocket launcher, show jonathan realising the chain has some functionality, then play a clip of a different launcher model _without_ a chain as he talks about it

    I love how much he actually knows about games.
    You can tell he loves guns but was a PC gamer during the DOOM DOS days.

    1:45 what if each "bullet" is like a little battery that the gun uses and shoots the energy out and then ejects the used ones
