Firearms Expert Reacts to Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 & 2 Weapons

[@9000Dogs]

Not to mention how several Cold War (2020) guns, set in the 80s, use models that would have fit better in the game set in the 60s, like the EM2 instead of BO1'S Enfield.

[@ycgoh603]

Anachronism is Treyarch's schtick. BO4, a futuristic title, also has anachronistic elements, and they're purely in-universe. They're real pros at this.

[@rickytorres8566]

I can't remember where but I heard a rumor that BO1 in it's development was originally supposed to take place in the 80's because of the anachronistic guns and a lot of the footage used in cut scenes being from there but that somewhere along the line they changed it to 60's and we're too far along to make drastic changes.

My favorite bit about the HS10 is that both IRL and in the game there's a big warning on the side telling the user not to fire it from the left shoulder (because then hot shell casings will be ejected directly into your cheek and neck). And yet, not only is dual wielding an option in the game, it's the only attachment available for the weapon.

[@farenhitegr6493]

You'd think in the game that allowed you to attach a suppressor on a SPAS-12 they'd allow you to jury rig a reflex sight, foregrip or an extended barrel and tube to act as alternative attachments... Not that I'm really complaining, as it's pointless in this point in time, but it's just something to note.

[@ClonedGamer001]

@@farenhitegr6493 Extended mags would have been super easy. The HS10 IRL came in two flavors (four really, but only two in regards to magazine size): One with a four round tube and one with a six rounder. The in-game weapon only has a four shell capacity, but visibly has the larger magazine. So an extended mags "attachment" wouldn't have even required a new model or anything.

[@philipgodsworth4764]

Since the Akimbos weapon models are one single hand mirrored on the other side, they thankfully avoid that issue with a bespoke left handed HS10z

[@ClonedGamer001]

@@philipgodsworth4764 Akimbo weapons actually aren't mirrored in Black Ops. When dual wielding the HS10, the one in the left hand has its carry handle swiveled to the other side, presumably so it isn't directly in the player's face. Meanwhile the charging handle and warning label, the only two major features of the weapon that are not symmetrical, are both in the same place on the left hand weapon that they are on the right. (Also the carry handle being flipped doesn't require any modifications or anything. The place it actually attaches to the gun is just below the rear sight, rather than coming off the right side as the animations seemingly imply).

12:02 The stockless SMGs in Black Ops 1 have unfolded / useable stocks when using the "grip" attachment. Fun fact: on the Wii version when using "grip," the stocks also appear but appear in the folded / collapsed position.

[@rooster6461]

I own a high standard model 10 B (hs10) For anyone wondering, the reload is fudged, you have to hold down the button on the side of the receiver to unlock the loading gate/elevator. The recoil is brutal, they only like buckshot or slugs as well. Using them one handed is more of an emergency thing. Using one in the left hand would leave you eating shotgun shells. They eject pretty hard back.

[@Alex_D_Vasilkov]

So it's like a SPAS-12 in a way...

[@Randomly_Browsing]

Well, they did add the warning for left handed users

[@gameragodzilla]

A lot of older semi-auto shotguns functioned that way. SPAS-12 is probably the most famous these days, but the original Browning Auto-5 had that requirement too. It’s due to how the bolt hold open function works. Modern semi-autos updated the design to still have a bolt hold open but not have to hold down the bolt release to load, including newer Auto-5s. The SPAS-12 remains the most famous shotgun with this quirk since it’s a pop culture icon, yet never was updated with the modern way of loading.

[@Randomly_Browsing]

@@gameragodzilla that's because SPAS-12 had stopped being produced

[@Bovium]

23:30 The PDW used to be very controllable, and was very overpowered when multiplayer released. It led to them nerfing the recoil insanely.

That together with some actual lethal shells like buckshot (or shrapnel shot as it is referred to) and slugs.

Its interesting that Jonathan should mention the Kel-Tec P50, and how the top cover needs to be lifted up for reloads, when talking about the PDW-57. The weapon was recently added to MWIII and the devs changed the reload to put the magazine in from the side, seemingly as an intentional callback to the PDW-57.

[@HQ_Default]

16:14 This is actually something that always bothered me about Black Ops 2, it did treat the AN-94 like it was the next iteration of the AK, even if it was an overly complicated/expensive gun.

[@gohunt001-5]

There is a version of the SITES Spectre that has no stock and no holes for it on the rear sight protectors. Ian from forgotten weapons did a video on this specific version. It's a us import semi-auto version.

[@meinacco]

I would really like to see an episode on the guns F.E.A.R. or alternatively the original Unreal Tournament (UT99)

[@joshuakincaid8238]

I'm glad he's covering this. The Black ops series is full of interesting weapons.

[@Mighty_Dork]

It's nice he realized he has a new full name. Wow! It is super wacky that most of the ballistic knife shoots out. That's the sort of info I watch these videos for

[@i_1mpuls3]

The older Black Ops games do such a great job at authentically representing guns

[@KomeRad]

PDW was my first and favourite weapon in multiplayer cuz it looks so futuristic and unique

[@thegoldengod4711]

Perfect timing to show off the Deadpool shirt.

[@TDFMonster40K]

The ballistic knife coming from Florida makes so much more sense

[@PeTTs0n88]

Jonathan looks so happy in the thumbnail that's enough reason to watch it alone. ^^

[@genericname4739]

Hopefully one day Johnathan Ferguson: Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armories Museum will react to the firearms found in Valkyria Chronicles.

[@FirewoodGingerAle]

The PDW-57 originally had far less recoil, so little and so dominant in the meta that they introduced that amount of recoil to it in one of the last updates for Black Ops 2. Wish you could've found older footage.

[@gustogoneria7656]

If I’m not wrong, the PDW-58 is supposed to be a mix between a P90 and the PDR-C or PDW-R in Battlefield. A gun that’s supposed to tale AR mags but in a small package for crew or pilots. The size, shape, and charging handle make me assume so.

[@dagttv]

And here is 1 of 2 of our AN-94s.....ultimate flex

[@lukepurcell2189]

The specter was my go to smg with a suppressor, it would absolutely shred

[@quinncunneen7845]

You guys could do a dedicated video to the AN-94. What media it’s appeared in and where is it accurately represented. Stuff like that.

[@paulfarrell1688]

I’d like to see an experts react on the command and conquer series, I feel it would be interesting to see how an expert would break down some of the more advanced technology especially in the tiberium timeline

[@Thisandthat8908]

This spring knife reminded me of a one shot hidden crossbow thingy, used in Terry Prachetts 5th Elephant. Partly because of the remarks on reloading. - Vimes turned the thing over and over in his hands. It looked vaguely like a long-handled hammer, or perhaps a strangely made telescope. What it was, basically, was a spring. That’s all a crossbow was, after all. ‘It’s a devil to load,’ he said. ‘I nearly ruptured myself cocking it against a rock. You’d only get one shot.’ ‘But it’s the shot no one expects, mhm, mhm.’

[@vothien2705]

12:56 I love that he took the effort to hide the magazine to pretend like he's using a new one LOL

[@Lamp37820]

Fun fact about the executioner, it actually has less pellets per shot than all the other shotguns. So actually accurate apparently.

[@seregarublev8915]

Would be really cool to see him cover some of the guns in CoD Ghosts, say what you want about that game but it had some interesting guns. Would love to see him talk about the Bulldog/MAUL, Ameli, and FAD in particular, but the Bulldog is a must lol

[@OnurErtas-q1o]

I dont hink we will ever run out of Call of Duties for him to react to

[@jaycee53]

The best era of CoD . Have been playing BO1 on the 360 the past week , literally haven't seen a single modder and have been having a lot of fun

[@Dung30n]

Came to see today's t-shirt, was not disappointed, stayed for the video.

[@efbiaj]

I would love to see Jonathan react to the weapons of into the radius 2 for a vr game that is less of a virtual shooting range then h3vr.

[@FevrDrim]

Johnathans smile on the thumbnail is bringing me joy

[@oskarskalski2982]

About the HS10 and Akimbo, you shouldn't use it like that, even on the shoutgun itself it says "caution do not shoot from the left shoulder" because in that case the spent casings would be shooting right at you. However thanks to the pivoting butplate you can easily shoot it one-handed so in that regard akimbo is plausible (apart from all those casings coming back at you:).

[@StainlessPot]

That AN94 was hardly "less powerful". I would even say it just had a free advantage 😂. You can set it to burst too, most weapons in BO2 had the "select fire" attachment, and it is correctly set to 2 shots.

[@1700WD]

The an94 was a beast glad they brought it back in MW3 as the SVA 545

[@luckyjazen8702]

Please more black ops 1 guns. Some of the most interesting weapons in history I’d love to learn more about

[@Qikshift]

We need to do a continuation of the Black Ops 2 weapons. I really wanna hear his thoughts on the Chicom CQB!!

[@tylerthomason9461]

Worth noting that in game the executioner is referred to being chambered in 20 gauge instead of .410, at least in its description

[@rishi8730]

MSMC or Joint Venture Protective Carbine (JVPC) is mainly developed for Indian Army but it doesn't got adopted by Indian Army. still it got adopted by CRPF&CISF paramilitary forces and some state police.

[@C21H30O2]

I have a Taurus judge. I have a small home in the city, PDX .410 rounds are perfect for my home defense situation. That's all it's good for but it's a perfect pillow gun for me.

[@OGJDOT]

As someone that has fired a sa80 and an lsw on range with a susar sight it is accurate. The only thing I would like to see if they bring it back is if you are playing a night map the tip of the point should glow. Due to tritium illumination.

[@hershmergersh6733]

Nice to see something sensible again. Wouldn't have been surprised to see the weapons of Warframe or High On Life being reacted to.

[@oddforoddssake3751]

Was surprised the FAMAS never showed up, I'd imagine Johnathan would have some choice words to say lol

[@MSXGRYPHUS]

very nice you have an AN-94 in your collection, I really like that gun.

[@wisecrack3461]

On the stockless Spectre M4, there were multiple civilian variants with the US Import Spectre-HC being treated as a pistol with neither the grip or stock, though some variants would have one or the other iirc.

[@LastRookie]

Ngl, Mr. Ferguson's reaction to realizing the MSMC's real life parody/counterpart is the most British reaction I have seen from him ever. Such confusion, surprise, and mild disgust, rolled into one sentence.

[@razer666L]

We don't have a marine corps in the Malaysian military and the soldiers in 20:35 are from the Malaysian Navy's PASKAL (Pasukan Khas Laut/Naval Special Warfare Forces), which Jonathan incorrectly pointed out. However, the closest thing we have to a marine corps is the Malaysian Army's 10th Parachute Brigade, which is an elite division-sized hybrid airborne-marine unit.

[@Randomly_Browsing]

Hello there

[@Newtns_bomb]

I wonder what Jonathan thinks of Brandon Herrera’s AK-50

[@Gunbudder]

most of my youtube videos are old uploads of tomahawk and crossbow kills from blops hahaha. i don't even remember most of the guns because i played with the commando knife, regular knife, tomahawk and crossbow almost exclusively. its one of the few things i was good enough to feel confident bragging about. i could consistently get cross map thrown kills that were aimed and bank shots. that game is still unmatched with how fun it was
