20:35 To be fair to the modder, Fallout 2 already featured the Pancor Jackhammer, so it is cannon to the series. It just so happens that it was mostly used by the "Hubbologists" who were very much a satirical spoof of Scientologists. Make of that what you will.
IT ISN'T A REAL GUN
*Shoots Mike in the face*
@@imeowmeowkat there were working prototypes. Well, like two of them or so and each was a bit different but that still qualifies it as "real gun".
There was even one fully functional "pre-production" prototype that could actually be reloaded without disassembly. That particular one was very much a "real gun" and went to the Army for testing. Unfortunately, it did not survive the process. Corrosion test killed it, I believe. All the Jackhammer's various media appearances are based on an earlier prototype.
Lol I remember that these two guys who played the Fallout NV multiplayer mod, and one of them always complained about the guns.
"Please don't fight me, the rock"
And this is why we love Jonathan, wow that was hilarious.
This is the TH-camr fight we all want to see. The rock vs Jonathan and his trusty Heckler and Koch MP5
don't forget he is a gamer as well, we are the same
Is anybody keeping a quote book? XD
I'd like The Rock to fight him, by shooting video of him firing FMJ rounds from a Ma Deuce.
when Jonathan reacting to Half-life 2 weapons, first vanilla anims , then MMOD ones
Mike: Zach? Why are we at The Gun Runners?
Zach: To meet my new best friend, Jonathan!
Was searching for the comments for a Gun Rants reference
I love how I can hear this in their voices
It would really be fun for the Magician and Ranger Zackchhh (hey it's how he pronounces it! Lol) to do a show with Johnathan!
ah an other good channel. I think that channel also got me into guns
@@isaacsrandomvideos667 Same here, tho with them they made my love for guns skyrocket. Heck Zach is the reason why I bought a price guide book for firearms!
It would be pretty cool to see Jonathan react to BioShock Infinite's weapons. They're extremely unique takes on weapons in the early 20th century, and it’s cool seeing how people in 1912 would take on concepts like the smg, the rocket launcher, etc.
Yeah he needs to look at the whole series. Each game has some awesome weapons based on irl firearms and some that aren’t.
I think bioshock infinite has the most realistic looking firearms out of the series. Apart from exaggerated proportions, and the steampunk aesthetic, the Broadsider, Triple R, China Broom, Paddywhacker, and Bird's Eye are all decent visual replications of the Mauser M712 (minus the select fire), the ZK 383, the Winchester 1887, the Colt 1851 Navy, and the Pattern 14/Pattern 17 Enfield.
@@obviouspseudonym9345 Oh I agree but I want to see them cover all three.
I Agree I LOVE THE BIOSHOCK SERIES!
Nerded out pretty bad back when I realized Infinite incorporated the ZK 383. That one's a deepcut.
It would be a cool idea for Johnathan to review the guns of killing floor 2. The animations for some of the earlier guns are amazing and looks really authentic, while the later guns should give him some things to....ponder..... over.
It's like Tripwire designs and releases a really well polished, great game, and then slowly milks and lowers the quality of it as time goes on :\
just dont let Jonathan review the late HRG weapons
but the Freeze Thrower and the Hemoglobin are pretty radical
@@GeeNo_ except red orchestra 2
I'd love to see him react to the medic weapons
Fun fact about the Jackhammer: The original design didn't have a corrugated handgrip at the front - it was applied to the common reference model by a movie crew, taken from a MP5 for more comfort for the actor using it during filming
Didn't actually know that, I've seen a couple different versions of it around and chalked that up to prototype iteration! Cool detail
That gun did appear in Fallout 2
I believe the video that still the biggest over at Forgotten Weapons is when he got his hands on the first prototype mule of the Pancor.
As far as I know, that is also the only functionally firing one still in existence. Another non-firing but more refined version also exists.
Also the functional version is on auction for $50,000 starting bid.
@@dorianvujica3946 The second one was a not quite finished prototype, but it's a registered transferable machinegun, and nothing should stop someone from completing it to a functional state. Hope someone does some day, there was only a few things which would need completing, and it'd be cool to have some shooting footage of an actual functioning Jackhammer.
10:50 the japanese and vietnamese had so called lunge mines, in which they charged against enemy armor, as if they were making a bayonet charge and stuck the mine against the tank, blowing it and himself up. i think the javelin throwing mine is a take on that
I think they also had this in BFV
Correct! I looked it up just to be sure, and the Japanese called it the "shitotsubakurai" lunge mine. Yes, it was a suicide attack anti-tank weapon, and no, you could not throw it and expect it to work.
As the term "suicide attack" would suggest, the user was not expected to survive the attack, which is hardly surprising.
I was just coming to the comments to say this
This makes sense because throwing weapons in FO:NV only reach a few feet and using a javelin mine would basically be suicide
I think he actually talked about it in a bfv video? not sure
I'd love for Jonathan to have a look at the weapons in EYE: Divine Cybermancy. It has some cool weapons, like the SMG with full auto and fuller auto fire modes.
Is that a MandaloreGaming reference? If so, I approve 😁
@@plazma5345 Yes, but I played it long before he made a video on it
Top 5 games of all time for me
Please this
I wonder how he'd feel about fuller auto
The Jackhammer getting modded into New Vegas just tracks on from the fact that it was fairly widely available in Fallout 2. In fact, that was the first video game I ever saw that extremely video gamed gun in.
Yeah also tracks with Fallout 2 being one of my fave games of all time haha
Oh I didn’t know that!
I believe I first saw it in the original Max Payne? I just remember being confused as a kid as to why this gun looked like a car muffler, albeit a cool one.
fun fact: until like the end of 2021 it was unknown how to add new animations to this game (animation modding was basically limited to existing animations), thus the reusing animations where they do and where they don't fit.
oh, and there is also a fun fact about camera: there is a quest that involves photoshooting with a similar camera. the problem is, it was programmed as a normal weapon that simply didn't deal damage, but could provoke some interesting reactions because of this. this mod seems to weaponize the concept.
EDIT: yeah, as it were noted in the comments, by "animation modding was basically limited" I meant that you could only edit what was in the game. there were some possibilities, but not enough for it to be notable.
The fact that you can have different reloads for whether or not there are bullets in the chamber of a firearm in FNV is crazy. It works really smoothly as well.
Yeah… that’s not true
@UCqrDmAm9ejL4euTLAi4ps5Q yes, there have been custom reload animations for a really long time. however, until we got them totally unlocked, all animation replacers could only be used in reload animation slots, of which there's like 10 or so animations. what that meant was you could overwrite the file for Reload K, for example, to get your gun to work properly, but that also meant that all weapons using Reload K would be using that animation.
unlocking the reloads was a huge step, but now it's only usable by the most dedicated NV modders who are still fiddling with the game and haven't moved off to any other projects.
@UCqrDmAm9ejL4euTLAi4ps5Q the main issue was that these anims basically worked as outright replacers for old NV anims, whereas now we can have unique animations for specific weapons instead of it being a universal thing. So a vanilla 10mm pistol and a 10mm pistol from a mod no longer share the same animations, so you can do more with either.
(Reuploading my comment because youtube decided to delete it for some reason)
Nah there were tons of custom animations for alot longer than that, up to and including reload animations. I remember seeing a bunch of them in the mid 2010s, such as custom bullpup reload animations. They were really janky but still animations mods. A quick google search of NV animation mods also brings up a bunch of reddit forums from the mid/late 2010s, with links to custom animation mods within said forums. Definitely a thing long before 2021. You were able to make custom animations with the GECK modding tool that released alongside NV in 2010
Receiver 2 is a must at this point, he's the perfect person to review it!
You need to show Jonathan _Into the Radius_ ! The fact that magazines need to be manually loaded, bullet by bullet, from a box of ammunition, in addition to having to clean and maintain your firearms for proper functionality using a toothbrush, oil, paper and cleaning rod, all in VR, will warm his little Keeper of Firearms & Artillery heart!
Big this, Into the Radius is an amazing VR game and has a wonderfully realized art and game direction
I’ve been thinking this but didn’t think the audience was big enough for anyone to care. Glad there are more radius explorers in the Jonothan Ferguson fan-club than I thought lol
Plus there's a steyr aug in there
We need Jonathan reacting to the weapons of the Killzone series. The blend of historic, modern, and futuristic would be an interesting bunch to see him break down, even when they get into Shadow Fall and everything is even more futuristic but still reminiscent of the game's past.
Those guns are fantastic. The STA-52 carbine is one of my favourite fictional weapons, and I generally dislike automatics in video games.
Have him react to the cursed halo CE mod, and don’t tell him.
We are just trying to break this man's psyce at this point
All of this lol.
Yes. We need to subject Jonathon to Cursed Halo.
oh dear
Does anyone else want Johnathan to meet with Zach from Mikeburnfire? The gun rants would be glorious!
Zack has some spicy things to say about the pancor
Ooo like for their podcast they have him on as a special guest?
With how many guns they have? Good luck Edgelord.@@AsukaLangleyS02
@@sawkman2092dude has a neon genesis username...
Yes!!
I'm really hoping to see The Weapons of Hunt Showdown again for this.
There are still some weapons untouched and how they changed the weapons based on his feedback( like the Sparks reload and the Avtomat model). Would just be amazing to revisit :D
Not to mention custom ammunition. That's something I don't think he's touched on yet. Not to mention I want to see his take on some of the more esoteric weapons like the bomblance.
this. i don't mean any disrespect but i don't think the person showcasing the gameplay is really familiar/experienced with the game either. i never saw them use the gun once on players.
@@smug880 don't think that really matter when it's just a showcase of the weapon.
Yeah, I would also love to see that.. You wont see guns like Lebel and Berthier in other games and it could also be fun to watch his reaction to the Bulletgrubber perk.
@@xSpoty What about the ambidexterous reload for dual dolchs? He'd probably have a conniption.
Fun fact : The SA80, or at least its prototype, was in Fallout 2. So it sorta fits into the canon.
Where was the SA80 prototype in Fallout?
@@JonathanRossRogers San Francisco had some guards using them iirc. Edit : Oh wait I'm dumb san fran was in fallout 2 so it has to have only been in fallout 2.
@@OVKatz It was in Tactics too, or the LMG version at least.
@@DIEGhostfish I believe it was the rifle version in Tactics. I liked Tactics, it had virtually no actual roleplaying at all in it, but I enjoyed its realtime combat a lot.
I already had big respect for Jonathan, but the Airbourne shirt really seals it
I think what’s worse about when the Rock hip fires the browning is that it’s not the usual M2 browning it’s one of the models that is mounted to helicopters and such so it’s firing at 800-1000 rounds per minute
also, the M2HB mod doesn't have a stand alone model, so if you drop it on the ground, it vanishes.
Love seeing modders getting their work seen on such a large platform, just a little suggestion if you guys do this again - put the mods in the description or at least the name of the mod and its author. Its sort of an understanding in the community of like "you make content with my stuff, which then promotes it" Great video though guys, would love to see more like this in the future.
The Camera is an actual game play mechanic, where you're tasked with taking photos of signs by an NPC, but in game mechanics it's treated like a gun that does no damage. The Camera mod probably just took that and gave it some more damage.
Fatal Frame
This took "Fatal Frame" a whole step further.
On the "camera gun" mod: all they've essentially done, is given the camera's "shot" a physical bullet, and changed the damage model of the camera (because the vanilla camera _is_ a "gun" whose projectile has no model and does no damage, due to the limitations of the old gamebryo engine. Which is why Private Kowalski gets mad at you if you take a picture of the Boulder City monument).
Yes! Now look at Fallout 4! In just know Jonathan will love the Service Rifle mod by DeadPool2099.
I think Jonathan might throw up with some of the weapon models on Fallout 4
the modding community in FO4 has done some amazing things, and the engine is a lot more refined than the NV version. All that said NV is just a better game overall, but if you're looking at mod guns FO4 is absolutely the game to look at
@@SavageGreywolf "NV is a better game overall" and other funny jokes to tell to your friends
I would love Jonathan to react to the Machineguns and Miniguns Rebirth mods along with the SREP, the G11 and all other stuff.
Maybe also a goofy one like Dak's Shoulder Mounted .50
@@eugene12310mobile He also has to react to the QBZ-191 mod too
I can only ask we get an episode of Johnathan reacting to the guns from metal gear solid 3 snake eater and maybe include some of the codecs on the weapons like for snakes 1911 cause it specifies the customisations done to the gun
On the PPSh it looks like instead of the bolt clipping through the receiver cover, it's a sheet metal piece on the cocking handle that covers the hole in the receiver where the handle reciprocates. Of course on the outside model that sheet is inside the receiver, but I think whoever modeled the first person view of it thought it was supposed to be outside.
Should totally look at the guns in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise. There are really good Guns+mods
I really hope they review the guns in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise.
Yes. Definitely want this
+1
My goodness! Yes please.
Yess
Yes! Especially the Gauss rifle
Kinda wish he reviewed some of the weapons from the, "Supplementary Weapons Pack" mod. Really well detailed weapons with great animations
Love that Jonathan noticed the knurling in the Borz submachinegun. mikeburnfire fans will remember the episode where Zach mentions it aswell, and how this had to be a high-end homemade gun for it to have something like that in it!
I was really hoping to see the AK-50 mod. I would love to hear what Jonathan has to say about this gun, and if he knows that it is real.
Yes. I was hoping for that too. But correct me if I'm wrong, Jonathan have mentioned Brandon in some other reaction series or it was just confused me?
Bit of a throwback but I reckon the Killzone series would be great to look at! I remember really loving the design of the bullpup AR-15 they had when I was younger, it just looked super dope. I think the game series in general had some really cool weapons!
"This is Johnathan Ferguson,the reason why our channel is still relevant."
15:50 That "Homemade Rifle" looks like it was heavily based off the Welgun and converted to bolt action
I think its inspired by the De Lisle, minus the integral suppressor. It's carbine length, bolt action, and feeds pistol cartridges (possibly 9mm or .45 in the game. If the latter then that would be a match to what the De Lisle fed)
I wrap some of my grips with athletic tape - some kinds of plastic make my shooting hand unreasonably sweaty.
I think the Japanese forces in WWII used AT mines on poles against American armor in the Pacific Theater.
It was about as effective as you'd think.
They sure did, as any Bolt Action player will tell you they're awful unless you catch them in the open
I love when he goes full like "Aw yea that's actually pretty good," with the fully custom one at 15:51
i mean, the Pancor Jackhammer was already a thing in the Fallout universe, it existed in FO2 and Tactics
Wolfenstein, Killzone, Bioshock and Killzone please!
All have weapons that are based on irl firearms and some that aren’t. Be great for Jonathan to get a run at each.
Plus some that are a combination and some being a combination of time periods!
@@darthcerebus Definitely, despite being fictional some of the guns feel more realistic than Vandguard abominations so Jonathan would appreciate that lol
I've been saying they need to do the newest Wolfensteins 🙌🏻
@@hugostiglitz491 New Order, Old Blood and New Colossus would be awesome. Plenty to review across all three games!
@@afd19850 Yep indeed, they can skip Youngblood not bc it's regarded as bad but the majority of the guns are the same ones from TNC
It would be interesting to see Johnathon’s reaction to the guns in Bioshock, from the 24 round revolver to the semi automatic pump shotgun.
Would love a reaction to Warframe's futuristic weapons, there are some sci fi shotguns that Jonathan would appreciate and I'm curious to see how he would react to the guns that fire what is essentially compressed microwave energy
"Mine on a stick" was an actual thing (sort of). Because of how much the sea level changes in Northern France due to tides, in WW2 the Germans would drive poles into the sand which stuck out of the sand around 2-3 meters. So during low tides the poles themselves would obstruct the landing craft and during high tide the mines would be high enough to contact the landing craft and go off.
There's also the closer example of Japanese troops using shaped charges at the end of poles as a last ditch AT weapon
In bethesda games you can use console command tfc in third person mode to get real nice closeups. sucsm "number" also changes it's speed.
The bit that comes out of the ppsh looks to be a custom added dust cover that comes out what would be a dremeled slot in the back / side of the receiver.
Trivia: Fallout Tactics on the PC does have the M2 Browning as a weapon to use. Power Armor also makes wielding this gun plausible.
The game happens to feature mods just to put more salt into poor Johnathan's wound of reviewing cursed weaponry.
You gotta show him Hitman's animation mods!
5:32 Fallout: Tactics actually has proportionally rare unique guns that can only be found in singular instances due to their rarity, including the Walther MPL. Rare guns include things like a Calico Liberty, a Sten gun, an XL70E3 Enfield prototype, a Ruger AC556, an M1 Garand, an M14, a Browning Automatic Rifle, a Bren LMG, and even the infamous Chauchat.
...and of course there's also the Pancor Jackhammer.
"Please don't fight me, The Rock." is one of the funniest lines I could imagine delivered here.
How about asking him to review how squads are armed in video games? Halo: Reach for example. The 5 NPC members each have a different main gun. They're supposedly some sort of elite 'general purpose' team rather than specializing in sniping or close quarters. How plausible is that?
For certain values of "different," fireteams do that in real life: an American army or marine fireteam might have one M249 light machine gun, one M16, one M16 w/grenade launcher and one M16 carbine variant. But all those guns use the same ammo - I don't think you'd mix in things like submachine guns or shotguns without a pressing need.
@@smeggiamagarwine No, I mean a special utility that justifies complicating your logistics. If you give your fireteam an anti-tank missile launcher it's because you think that your fireteam level elements require the capacity to destroy vehicles. A submachine gun or shotgun doesn't have that kind of use case where it is so much better than just having another M16.
I wish we could get a compilation video of smaller, individual examples, so we could see his reaction to the infamous pump-action MP5 from Shadow the Hedgehog.
That's super cool that you guys came around to doing New Vegas Mod weapons! As someone who has made New Vegas mods (quest mods) it's absolutely wild to see a professional curator talk about them. It's like above and beyond that would be expected of them in their occupation.
This was a fun one, love hearing Johnathan talk about guns, gets me excited
Will there be a possibly for Jonathan to cover the Serious Sam franchise
More Hotdogs Horseshoes and Hand grenades! Maybe jump into some of the mods there
I would like to see him observe the gigantic M1911
Not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet, but the Browning .50 machine gun has appeared in a Fallout game before. It was in Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood Of Steel as a weapon that you needed power armour or a super mutant level of strength to wield.
(also the Pancor Jackhammer appeared in Fallout 2)
20:27
Zach: *distant screaming*
Could do with more of Millenia's mods, legendary mod creator for New Vegas.
Aww
Didn't expect you guys to have our dude react to FNV mod guns. Neat.
Wow, good on you for including links to the mods in the video description!
9:38 It looks like its taking the concept of the Lunge Mine from WW2 - which was an anti-tank mine on a stick that required a soldier to run up to a tank and poke it (suffice to say, such a thing was a one-way trip). In New Vegas, the idea appears to have been adapted as a thrown weapon to expand that class of weapon in the game (and keep the player outside of the blast radius)
Would love to see Jonathan’s impressions of some of the weapons in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, particularly the crossbow/gun hybrid weapons and the shotguns that you just have to sprinkle magic dust into despite some of them having a visible magazine that isn’t used 😆
Please tell me these make much sense,I worry for him sometimes after the silliness we put him through in Borderlands 3.
(On that note is there a way to show him some of the saner weapons from Dahl and Jakobs?)
It's so cool seeing Millenia's mods getting recognized and praised by a professional. I remember when I first saw her mods, I was blown away by the level of detail, accuracy, and feel of the weapons. Really fun seeing a professional enjoy the detail too :D
this was an incredibly entertaining video, would be a good idea to make a part 2.
I'd love to see Jonathan overview valorant's guns! they are mostly unique and really cool.
fun fact: during world war 2 the landmine on a stick actually was a weapon meant for disabling light tanks turret. although you didn't actually throw it .
Like this one a ton! I hope there's even more of these :D
Suppressor on the AK is closer to a PBS-4, which was the one used on suppressed AKSU's due to the short barrel length in order to ensure the gun cycled properly. The PBS-1 is shaped more like a typical flashlight, the PBS-4 is the weird cigar shape (also the PBS-1 is a 7.62 caliber suppressor, the PBS-4 is for 5.45)
14:07 Wierdly enough, Fallout 2 did not have an L85, ithad the XL70E3 prototype of all things. As well as the XL73E2 in game named light support weapon.
This needs to be done with hitman’s animations
Its incredible how active NV modding scene still is. Ive seen some video recently overhauling a lot of weapons animations and make it look so much better than what we see here.
some of the "game engine limitations" that Jonathan was talking about was just Mod Authors not making animations for the guns as they would be limited to a single animation (until recently) but there are several weapon mods out there for FNV that have animations and good ones at that
This guy has seen to much crazy guns
He should do fallout 4’s mod guns, specifically the higher quality ones
The detail of the Pancor Jackhammer looks accurate to the one Ian showed off years ago on Forgotten Weapons (which IIRC is the one that keeps showing up in movies as a prop), it's such a distinct magazine design I was honestly impressed the modder did the guide channels.
As a person with big meaty claws for hands, wrapping the grip is absolutely practical. When I used to play airsoft I would wrap a few layers of hockey tape around the grips of my air guns so they could fit my hands more comfortably
The captions in the titles are more annoying than useful.
if they were gonna mod it they could've at least made the effort to not make the game look like doo-doo.
@@Gigadweeb I meant more in terms of general texture resolution, colour and lighting. most of those mods are also super-easy to install and rarely-ever conflict with anything.
As for the Browning M2 50 Cal being fired from the hip, I think the grip on top of the gun that facilitates this was intended to be wielded by someone roughly 5 or 6 times stronger than the Rock, i.e. someone in Powered Armor with mechanical strength enhancement.
That's what I need in my life. A New Vegas mod that features all of the weapons from the isometric Fallouts.
At 29:28: the Pancor Jackhammer featured prominently in Fallout 2. It's great to see someone modded it back into the game. :)
For the javelin mine, since fallout 3 mines use proximity sensors. The sensors would probably be adjusted to go off at very close range, less than an inch with a very short timer setting like a fraction of a second. Working out the counterbalance using a metal pole with some drag fins would stabilize it better than a wood pool cue.
15:24 "One of the ergonomic quirks..."
You sir, are such a gentleman.
For the Browning M2, I can see it like, the linkage with the pistol grip could simply be two rods that when you pull the trigger, it depresses the thumb triggers, perhaps?
I really want a collab between Jonathon Ferguson and Zach from Mikeburnfire (known for his gun rants videos, also a former armourer in the US Army) where they just talk about guns for an hour or 3, I'd watch the whole thing many times over
Well Jonathan, such a camera gun was actually fired in a test of the show Deadliest Warrior. Episode of CIA vs KGB, where it was KGB used, and they used it in a test scenario of an assassination to a ballistic gel head. Like a reporter and cameraman disguise to assassinate a person giving a speech at podium or answering questions. Fired from 10 feet away and the expert firing it shot it into the ballistic head. Which it was so cool seeing it actually used in a mock-up spy assassination scenario.
That's what that shows called the name has been rolling in my head but I never could remember it thank you.
My man single handedly keeping game spot alive
Bit of an older game, but I'd love to see Jonathan react to Perfect Dark's weapons. It would be interesting to see him try to wrap his head around the guns.
Reference firing a .50 cal M2 from a hand held "Predator style" mount I have seen footage on TH-cam (couldn't find it so it may have been taken down) where someone had rigged one and even test fired it. Thing is, with live rounds, holding it like that caused to the gun to pivot back like a playground swing so that the muzzle started shooting lower and lower until it was shooting into the ground just in front of the shooter. Luckily he'd only loaded a 3-4 round belt so it stopped firing before he shot himself in the leg.
Ya I can see that happening. I would think a single or short burst version might be more doable. Maybe with heavy recoil compensation and lower calibre? either way it does look awesome.
awsome, the modders for some of these games are super talented and deserve some love
Would love to see Johnathon go through MGS:V! Lots of great and weird weapons in there that I haven’t seen in other games.
Great video as allways. What makes you like him extra much is the fact that he is very knowledgeable about firearms, has an understanding of the limits of the game and have an appreciation for the modders work even though he is not entirely convinced about the design. Seem like a really nice and cool guy.
Regarding the camera gun at 21:55, it may be a reference to a quirk of an existing game mechanic. There is a semi-working camera in FNV (the "Codac R9000") that you use to photograph locations for a quest, but it's counted as a firearm. It does no damage and doesn't anger NPCs if you shoot it at them, but they do remark on the player "wasting ammunition" and "disturbing the peace", and it can also trigger a potentially-hostile encounter if you photograph the Boulder City Memorial (since the game thinks you've just vandalized it with a gunshot).
as a modder i enjoyed this episode in particular, would love to see more similar to it
I know for a fact the pancor jackhammer exists cannonically in the fallout universe, as does the HKG11
The Pool Cue Mine "javelin" just reminded me of the Shitotsubakurai lunge mine from WW2.
I'm in awe of this dude. Not only is he a professional in his field, but he manages to tell everything with such respect for the authors of these mods. If I were one of them, Jonathan's criticism would make me feel so good and proud.
I appreciate the Fallout Videos, especially the New Vegas ones! Great video as always
You should show him all the guns in the AG Supplementary Uniques mod! Lots of interesting guns in that one!
Jonathan is fantastic in these videos because he has good experience with a lot of the games and game mechanics and understands that the developers have to take some liberties when it comes to the designs love you Jonathan
