13:30 Soviet Cold war era tank machineguns had so-called 'impulse' shots counter, as I can understand, operated by gun recoil.

[@jonathanferguson1211]

Shot counters are already a thing in some armed forces, but are only read by armourers to help with maintenance schedules. There is a shot-counter slide available for Glocks complete with digital readout on the read. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone puts one in an optic. It could work from audio cues like a shot-timer.

@@jonathanferguson1211 If that smart rail is really "smart", the sight could be receiving the round count from the rifle with other relevant information. The ammo counting could even happen in the magazine itself and be sent to the rifle through some interface in the mag well. The magazine could use a pressure sensor or measure the position of the follower somehow. It would account even for partially loaded magazines. The same goes for the range information. The rangefinder could be a part of the sight but a standalone unit could also be mounted elsewhere on the rail and sending the range information to the gun and connected accessories.

I'm sure there's all sorts of concept ideas that don't visibly make it to the game as with movies (like the Kingsman grenade launcher on their pistols!), only more so, since there are fewer opportunities for the ideas to appear in dialogue.

A sight with wifi could potentially be connected to a computer located elsewhere that processes what is visible through the sight and highlights targets or predicts the trajectory of the gun's bullets.

[@wolfgang_h3t]

Quick note in regards to his comment on scar recoil: The answer is no, a shorter barrel would cause more recoil. One reason for this is because more gas would be required to properly cycle the system, naturally this extra gas kicks harder.

[@1lovesoni]

In my experience with short barreled shotguns, a 12-14" barrel has less recoil than an 18-20" barrel.

[@wolfgang_h3t]

@@1lovesoni But we're not talking shotguns? Also, I'm somewhat skeptical of your claim, a short shotties recoil vs a long one is barely noticeable (in regards to manual loading shotties), if anything the recoil would be better on the long one simple due to mass, so I'm forced to think there was a key difference between the short and long shotguns you tested.

[@1lovesoni]

@@wolfgang_h3t It was my 870 before and after filling my form 1. I also assumed that the shorter barrel would have more intense recoil for the same exact reason you stated, weight. I was surprised to find that recoil was actually less intense and more manageable with a shorter barrel. I figure that the pressure generated by burning powder is lower due to the short length. But shotgun powder is particularly slow burning compared to rifle types. I also found that the difference in length had no noticeable effect on my shot spread, contrary to common belief. It still patterns the exact same.

@@jonathanferguson1211 Oh, I might have gotten the cause and effect mixed up in my memory. But adding a T-rex in your gun advertisement because of a Jurassic Park movie starring said gun seems plausible.

Its funny how the success of this series has spawned a few imitators

[@egomania2792]

I like Ian McCollum (been a FW sub for 3 years) but IGN's attempt to copy this series with Ian are laughable.

[@ParkAir33]

@@egomania2792 Yeah poor Ian lol didnt know what he was getting himself into I suppose with a circus like IGN

Very obvious but hey I love Ian so... :D

I’m happy this came out on my birthday what a gift to see this man

[@CS-RAVAGE]

Id love to come visit an chat with you one day Mr. Ferguson! Lots of love from Canada, cheers 🍻!

[@Punkwithspunk]

A return to Hunt Showdown to showcase some of the new guns and akimbo reloads would be really cool, plus all the new ammo types they added could be fun to see Johnathan discuss

[@SleepyGangsta]

Would definitely love to see a part 2 with more weapons and special ammo!

[@TheFrogEnjoyer]

He should do the Halo series next

[@NolDragon]

Good luck with that, been asking it for over a dozen vids now :P

Fantastic content. Entertained 🙌

I think AC-42 it's more like Steyr ARC maybe? the burst fire sort in line with the ACR program

[@IrontMesdent]

I'd be down to look at more BF1 weapons

[@Giraffinator]

"they can't rely on the good ol' AK forever" you take that back

[@shadewolf0075]

Well it's true

[@rosaria8384]

Kalashnikov Concern has been diversifying, yeah...they offer nowadays not just AK ARs but also some semi Vityaz 9mm as well.

11:09 shares some looks with the desert tech mdr

[@Macro105]

Could the PP29 as shown in the clip, use networking to monitor round count and connect to a range finding system built in hypothetically, IE an electronic round counter in the clip monitors and send information to the sight, this could also warn of a possible jam and inform the user of the next round configuration IE Tracer, Incendiary or explosive rounds in the future.

The GVT is actually one of the best gun in the game

Second try of asking where Jonathan's Spitfire shirt is from so i can get one

[@tigertomdesign]

I have the same spitfire shirt as jonathan! Got it from a British company called 909 Apparel.

[@FookFish]

@@tigertomdesign ooo awesome! thanks gonna pick one up

[@kertaspaper94]

There were some photos from the May Day parade in North Korea a few years ago showing some really well equipped soldiers, and they were carrying what looked like an AK rifle with helical magazines not unlike the Bizon.

[@Fishlord136]

Really wanna learn more about that FN SCAR grenade launcher attachment

[@stingingcashew2321]

You got to show him Payday 2, he'll appreciate the variety of weapons. Maybe not the variety of customization tho...

[@Mr_T_Badger]

I’m pretty sure Johnathan would be horrified by my Mosin Nagant rifle with the computerised scope or my late buddy’s Deagle that he deliberately tried to make as huge as possible. 😋

I really like this series Game spot. very well done and informative Jonathan.

[@noahezer9295]

About the "Winchester" lever action rifles you've seen, they were actually based on the Marlin 336, specifically the XLR variant as revealed by a video game weapon showcaser by the name of Masked...

[@sunbather1576]

I like how Gamespot was one of the first outlets that released a "review" on the 11th November and they were overtly positive and mentioned none of the issues. Here we are with a video that has all rights to not go into detail about the mess that BF2039 is. However, with other games they do show goofy stuff or broken stuff and let Jonathan comment on it. Here they just don't as if something or someone hindered them from doing so... Edit: Inb4: I mean, they don't have to show bugs. But what about the ridiculous categorization of calibers into "heavy ammunition", "light ammunition" and so on which is a huge backwards step from previous iterations of the series in which the actual caliber was stated. And what about the 4 attachments having the same stats or the same attachment having contradictory stats on different weapons?

[@glockenspiel604]

Apparently the descriptions on many attachments are incorrect and will be fixed at some point. Don't know what you mean by the caliber stuff in previous bf games, previous bf games didn't have different ammo options for weapons.

[@baarum]

6th polite atempt asking for a "review" of the weapons from the Apex Legens/Titanfall universe

[@St4ticScratch]

Stop asking

[@immahFIRINmahlazah]

The lever action is my fave weapon right now Super satisfying

[@detritus23]

One bit on the NTW- 50, the NTW-20 is almost 2 meters long and weighs about 35 kilos. It is designed to be transported in three parts by its fireteam. I don’t see someone wielding it like an AR-15 being realistic. Also, 20mm has a pretty massive recoil, which requires the NTW-20 to be fired from the bipod, so firing it off-hand seems a little ridiculous.

[@KGBzelov]

He can almost do the entire weapon list in the game there isn't very many of them to begin with🤣🤣
