Pretty sure that law got ruled as unconstitutional this year, but dev time takes a while.

[@stylojp1385]

"An entire reciever made of PLA is not plausable" I wouldn't be surprised if he's seen it already but Jonathan should check out the "plastikov" design for a fully printable AK reciever, or the "Amigo Grande" design for a fully printed G3 reciever, there are also printed AR lowers that can handle .308 proven to function well, and entirely printable AR15 upper and lower reciever system called "The Orca". The 3D2A community is doing amazing things.

[@mikuluver7]

I believe what Johnathan was elaborating on was that anything bearing a significant amount of weight or pressure, i.e. a receiver for a general-purpose machine gun wouldn't be feasible as depicted in game. I'm aware of the Plastikov and it's not too bad. I haven't gotten a look at the G3 receiver, and I did watch Hoffman's videos on the Orca, which I still find impressive.

[@ethantaillefer-meyn6535]

But what if the machine gun ran on the constant recoil principle like the ultimax? A lot of the impact and stress would be taken off the receiver no?

Another thing: that foregrip on the revolver is also a terrible idea because you would have a LOT of gas ejection from the cylinders smacking your arm every time you fired it. Talk about developing a flinch lol.

Definitely. .410 are skinny

[@LITZOLOMATEL]

What is also interesting about pulemyot, is the fact that it has some parts from airsoft version of the gun, especially the tube in front of the trigger guard which feeds pellets into the chamber.

[@InquirerAshen]

I think if you used carbon fiber nylon to print a machine gun reciever it should work pretty well. Kinda similar in theory to carbon fiber pistons in cars but facing the same issue of the binding material failing at high temperatures.

[@Lomi311]

At 11:12 it looks like the shotgun cases from the AR shotty are ejecting backwards, with the empty plastic end facing the player initially.

[@tylert558]

So I have watched all these videos and I have enjoyed the content Jonathan has been in before I found his videos on your channel but I always felt like that he was giving his normal great insight and knowledge of the weapons but the games weren’t really fully explained to him he just was getting the gun without the context of the game and the different things that the game offers.

As for the 3D printed items, I like the idea but they could have done it better and done some research. Could have said it’s the newest break through, because we are working on the idea IRL they could say the MW universe is slightly ahead of us in military production

[@davebaton8879]

Jonathan Ferguson probably won't see this but bolt action AKs are a thing without being a custom piece. At least here in Austria and probably also in Germany. Interordnance R94: Basically AKs without the gas-system. They don't even have a special handle or something, just the normal AK charging handle that you need to pull back after every shot and they're chambered in 7.62x39. Might have gotten a bit less popular after they changed the law in Austria a couple years back, making normal self-loading AK variants easier to obtain.

[@flyingmanforfun]

[@WarlordEnthusiast]

There actually are a few printed receivers, notably the orca is an almost fully 3d printed AR15 including the upper and lower receiver.

[@DemonFreddy]

There are so many changes to MWIII from the beta, Three examples being the "Longbow", "Striker", and "SVA 545". The least noticeable difference is the SVA as it was just the damage that got tweaked. The Longbow and Striker were most noticeable, the Longbow in the beta was chambered in .224 valkyrie instead of 7.62X39MM,the striker in the beta had the LWRC bolt and charging handle but now it has the UMP 45 bolt and charging handle.

[@Krankenkarl]

Would love to see Jonathan, try out the weapons from Isonzo. No cursed or mashed up guns in that game, as I remember. Just what Jonathan needs to see sometimes :)

[@panzer6tiger]

THe SVA seems to be more like a mix of AK-107, and Sagia MK-107 that feature the counter balencing recoil system, and have been quite popular in competition shooting circles in Europe. But then ingame performs like an AN-94.

It's a cool idea, but it's up to the developers to determine if the extra amount of time to pull it off is worth it.

[@Creationeer]

What would make more sense for the Longbow to do more damage and still fire from an AK platform would be to chamber it in .366TKM, basically a necked out 7.62x39, think .300 Blackout for AKs.

Another great video ☺️ Question: On the BAS-B…it looks like the character’s left hand holds the rifle rather odd. The thumb almost covers the front iron sight…is that a legit/functional way of holding the rifle?

[@spvrda]

Yes, it's a modern technique, called the C-Clamp IIRC.

[@ivybeard8337]

@@spvrda I see! It looks a bit weird to me…but I know nothing about these things so if that’s a real way of gripping a rifle then I guess it is :) Thanks for the reply!

[@halo7oo]

The C-Clamp hold is somewhat new, really only becoming commonplace in the last ~5-10 years. Sometimes it's called Thumb-Over-Bore. It is used to try and tame muzzle-flip, its' actual effectiveness is debated. More common in sport/recreational shooting than military doctrine, though you will see some SOF guys doing it.@@ivybeard8337

It is so ironic that i was complaining of the "longbow" to my friends about this exact issue tonight. I hate how much guns will be OP in this game, despite the fact they're firing the same round.

Have you ever done a Mass Effect video? If not, that would be a great couple videos that could be made for this series!

I would love to see him to look at the guns of PlanetSide 2. An older game, but it's really interesting because it has conventional cartridge weapons, gauss weapons, and energy weapons, with each category being distinct from each other.

I know it's old but as someone who played the first one, I feel ancient

[@Oscar-gq4ro]

Different types of lowers with on the same weapons system makes sense. Anyone can buy a 3d printer, and print one from a .stl file they got from a forum and at least in the US buy all the parts that aren’t legally a firearm. For sure wouldn’t use it for anything full auto or particularly high powered though.

My continuing quest to have Jonathan react to the frankenweapons from Resistance:Fall of Man.

the AN94/ak12 had me stumped too

[@josiahmcmullin2545]

As someone who does 3d printing and Injection molding for a living. Just a heads up PLA probably wouldn't be used for 3d printing gun parts by any sort of professional company, if it was 3d printed (and not injection molded) it would use something like Carbon Fiber, Nylon, or something of the sort, I also know people tend to use Annealable PLA's or HSPLA for gun parts. I think it would be extremely possible from a government funded production.
