I like how the assault rifle from the first game and the heavy cannon from the second feel like normal infantry weapons beefed up for soldiers in futuristic power armor. The assault rifle is a squad support weapon that's used like a rifle. Instead of an under barrel grenade it can mount a six tube micromissile launcher. The heavy cannon is a crew-served light machine gun with two missile pods that's been modified to be used as a squad automatic weapon.

[@Fleischgewordener_Sterbehelfer]

And in Eternal it is agrubly the best gun overall.

[@ZoofyZoof]

@@Fleischgewordener_Sterbehelfer Not really. Its only useful function is being a sniper rifle. In other words, it's better being a different gun entirely rather than its original function.

[@Fleischgewordener_Sterbehelfer]

@@ZoofyZoof Here are the uses for the assault rifle: - can be used to weaken up demons for a glory kill -is the best way to destroy weak points -is used in the majority of the good weapon combinations(pb/rocket,pb/balista, pb/super shotgun, pb/sticky bomb) - micro Missiles are a great damage dealer and melt trough everything without movement Penalty, it also makes the rocket combo easier to pull off -headshots with the pb on a zombie or an imp results in a shockwave which stuns nearby enemies

Kinda wish they'd seen the pick-up animations for the weapons. Like the Rocket Launcher when you first get it, and it cycles up and loads a fresh rocket so you can see what it's actually doing. Or the mod-swapping like on the Shotgun, where the entire first third of the gun can be detached and replaced with the rotary module. I would love to hear their thoughts on that modularity.

The Doom sword is actually based on a real type of sword called the Executioner sword. They're essentially purpose-built for cutting heads off of people that you need to execute since axes were to inaccurate and couldn't easily lob the whole head off in one go sometimes so most of them came without a tip and some did have a fanned out tip like the Doom sword

[@jooot_6850]

[@rexanderson4585]

@@jooot_6850 it's probably part of it but when I was talking about the axe it's because not everybody had the money to get an axe that was long enough to take a head off of one hit if you didn't hit it dead center

[@XenonLxx]

@@rexanderson4585 what? That makes zero sense. Axes are some of the cheapest/easiest weapons to make and maintain. They have way less metal than swords, don't need to be perfectly sharp, and steel choice matters a lot less there. For length, anyone could make a handle as long as they wanted, and they could swap them around if needed, it's just wood. Not to mention anyone needed an axe, a sword was only good for killing, but an axe was an essencial tool of everyday life for work. Jooot is correct about swords being more noble.

[@rexanderson4585]

@@XenonLxx that is true but the most common axe's were the ones that were meant for chopping wood rather than battle which would be the ones ideally for chopping off head since they have a thinner ax head not to mention the blade would have to be longer to make sure it would come off in one go

You guys completely whiffed the Rocket Launcher... From what I've examined of the Rocket Launcher is that, it is a Short Barrel, Recoilless, Self-Loading, Semi-Automatic Rifle. The magic of this weapon is in the versatility of the ammunition. It can fire rocket propelled warheads that are capable of air bursting via a remote detonation control, and each warhead is capable of splitting into 3 separate smaller rockets with homing capabilities. The only unrealistic thing about it is the fact that the Rockets seem to be just sitting in the chamber burning fuel and the fact that the operator gets a face full of back blast everytime the weapon is fired.

[@Trve_Kvlt]

So the reason why a chaingun is called a chaingun (using the M230 as an example) isn't because it uses a chain to move the actual weapon, it uses a chain to drive the action. Most guns, even big autocannons like the M242 Bushmaster on the Bradley, 2A42 on the BMP-2, etc use the propellant gases, the recoil of the cartridge being fired or sometimes both to drive the action. A chaingun on the other hand uses an external source of power to drive the action, in this case a chain. It does this on a continuous loop basically like a motorcycle or bicycle chain.

Estwing straight claw for the win! A true rite of passage to swing our fathers hammers as we grow up. We still have my great grandpas hammer, really well worn, might be from Austria, cant find any useful markings. Still love a Estwing, especially the newer ones with the nail holder magnet thing.

Great comment, thanks for sharing!

10:49 Actually Doomguy has to lift the BFG, since it's so big (it's almost 1 meter)

[@kubekzpiciem]

What a fantastic guest! was pleasure hearing every lil tid bit he had to say

[@walterhennings7618]

These gun experts are actually just sci fi nerds, i approve

[@WednesdayMan]

"You wanna distance from the threat" The guy you play as in Doom Eternal is the Threat, he wants to get as close as possible.

[@DarKKnightt07]

Have them react to the Metro games, that franchise has unique weapons and Paul with his expertise would make a great video.

[@PaulMeixnerFilms]

Stay tuned for our next episode, you might enjoy that one in particular! Also, thanks for your comment!

[@mwperk02]

Some of the weapons are even homemade style like a pneumatic rifle and the bastard gun. while you also have some cool prewar weapons usually assault rifles.

[@dovahkiinhowey]

"Distance from the threat" Doomguy IS the threat...

[@Greyhound706]

They should react to doom 2016 because of the more militaristic look

[@thelonepainter4760]

Omg! Your talking about Desert Strike for Sega Genesis. Where your an Apache helicopter, and you pick up stuff.😂👍 That was a great game.

[@HeWhoComments]

Doomguy is a demigod in the canon. That’s why he’s so strong!

[@StygianNightmare]

Beardy bald guy is just a limitless fountain of facts and keeps dropping knowledge bombs the whole video, I feel bad for our other host lol

[@Houd_Vast]

19:16 Star Wars legends is the best. The new Disney stuff, as a purist, I cannot accept.

[@mechanomics2649]

I can't accept either. Both of them have nonsense in them.

[@erickruckenberg8716]

Hold the fuck up for a hot damn second!!!… You beat Contra with 1 life?! Me too 🤣😜☠️

[@MuneerMas0n]

gun expert reacts to Metro Exodus, it would be interesting to see.

[@nameputhpong9041]

I love the concept of the sawed-off being basically a holy, demon-slaying excalibur.

[@leightoncressman6188]

I’d love to see you guys analyze weapons from other franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek.

[@captainzac24]

"This is in the future and you know, hell" Yes that is how we are referring to the future now, hell

[@TheMtVernonKid]

Respect beat NES Contra on one live

[@user-yk7dc9hu2k]

I like that they're just having fun with it and not being pedantic know-it-alls

[@PaulMeixnerFilms]

Thanks! That observation is really appreciated, we try to just have fun. I even made a mistake in this video referring to a chain gun, and several commenters respectfully pointed out what it means. All of you guys are so great!

[@user-yk7dc9hu2k]

@@PaulMeixnerFilms Wow! It's awesome to get a reply from you, man. I hope to see more from you guys. Keep up the great work and happy (belated) Veterans Day! Thank you.

[@PezzaHando]

Ah should've shown the part where he uses himself as ammo

[@TugaAvenger]

The US Navy just stopped their railgun program a couple months ago. Hypersonic missiles can do everything a naval railgun would, and with far larger range.

[@covid1480]

Romanian gang like

[@bones8431]

Things they skipped: Destroyer Blade - Ballista Remote Detonation - Rocket Launcher Lock-On Rockets - Rocket Launcher Micro Missiles - Heavy Cannon (they talked briefly but never showed it) Shield - Chaingun

[@bluedog843]

I can’t believe they didn’t show the destroyer blade for the ballista. Arguably one of the coolest mods in the entire game.

[@johnscottchan9652]

I can feel the the excitment radiated from Isreal right at the beginning and his intro totally earned my thumbs up and I needed to stop right there to comment. Now I wish there was more than one thumbs up cos I need more

[@sunnyfrisch]

A chaingun uses an external power source to cycle the weapon‘s action instead of using the propellant of the ammunition, and to do that it got a chain drive similar to a motorcycle. Afaik the M242 Bushmaster is a typical chaingun.

[@PaulMeixnerFilms]

Ah! Great comment, thanks for Haring my memory, you are correct!

[@MomurdaTheMessiah]
