about the basso ostinato shotgun on 14:34 , the ingame lore literally states that we cannot leave the old pump-action model behind because its too reliable and jonathan mentioning that without even knowing about it makes it such a true statement

[@willl5659]

It's probably worth mentioning for the Senuna that it's made by a company who use liquid ammunition for their guns - it's somewhere between a water pistol and an extremely misused 3D printer. Hence the "Fluid Dynamics" buff popping up in the corner, which is their manufacturer trait.

[@Gazooka]

One cool thing bungie has with hand cannons (works with other weapons too) is if you’re using a controller if you squeeze the trigger slowly the hammer comes back and cylinder rotates.

[@GremlinSciences]

It actually works in a lot of games from other developers as well, just about every game developed with consoles as the intended platform will incorporate similar details. CoD CW was actually really cool in that regard because if you were using a PS5 controller then not only could you watch as your character slowly pulled the trigger but you could actually feel the weight of the trigger, I'm not sure if the feature made it to PC but it worked on XB1 if you managed to pair a PS5 controller to your console and fix Sony's wonky layout.

the quicksilver storm is named as such because it uses some sort of liquid metal nanite fluid as ammunition. You can actually see it in the top of the gun slowly depleting as you fire it, and spiking out like it's been magnetized when you switch into grenade launcher mode

[@wolffang-vz2ty]

@@Lorentz_Driver where do you think the nanites get the material?

[@felixtimmons6252]

When Johnathan mentions that the cylinder on the trust hand cannon doesn’t actually turn, it is a graphical limitation because of the sheer rate of fire you get from this arguably fantastic hand cannon. I don’t know what platform the footage was captured on but if you use a gamepad and ease the trigger down you can watch as the cylinder fully rotates into position and the hammer comes all the way back to provide the right amount of thwackage to fire the gun. Now it doesn’t provide any increase to accuracy or stability which would be fantastic for bungie to work on, but it is a neat little nod to the proper function of a revolver style weapon

[@jdiabl035]

Underrated take, most folks don’t know this about hand cannons good call

[@Halo916_]

It’s PC, you can tell by the placement of the Reticle being in the dead center of the screen. Console has the reticle lower on the screen

[@SSD_Penumbra]

I always loved how Destiny's weapons all signify that they are different in the sense that they come from different foundries or places. The Round Robin HC, Quicksilver AR, Basso shotgun and Deterministic MG all come from Neomuna, a settlement on Neptune that came from the moon called the Ishtar Collective. The HC and shotgun as shown are identical to those found on the moon in-game, albiet with the Cyberpunk-ish feel and less of the "artefacts used to ward off ghosts" from the Moon weapons. The Quicksilver and Deterministic were created for the Cloudstriders, who are biomechanical inhabitants of Neomuna. In almost the complete antithesis of this, are the Drifter's weapons, which have existed since the collapse of Earth in Destiny's lore. They are called "Dark Age" weapons and they all resemble real-world weaponry, like the old Breakneck gambit rifle looking like a mixture of an AK and a Ruger Mini 14, the Trust resembling a Colt SA revolver/Colt Navy or the Gambit shotgun, that resembles a modern day pump action shotgun, with gunmetal grey and wooden stocks.

[@ElisArid]

The Ishtar Collective is from Venus just as an FYI, not the moon.

[@cataposs]

[@Roadiedave]

In the game, Omlon is a weapons company that specialized in fluid ammunition. Those little tanks on the front of the 3-round burst style handgun are actually the magazine. Some of the larger Omlon weapons have visible tanks in their designs. Fun fact, the origin trait given to all Omlon weapons is "Fluid Dynamics" which provides more stable shots at the beginning of the magazine. This is because the ammo starts to slosh around when more air is in the mag.

[@eiriklarsen4608]

On Trust (the hand cannon) if you play on controller you can half squeeze the trigger, showing the hammer move back and cylinder rotate

Fun fact about any of the weapons labeled "Omolon" on them, they apparently function off of a "liquid ammo" kinda thing. "Exotic Polymers" as the first gun to introduce this described it all the way back in the original Destiny. If I remember correctly, Suros was all about "Form AND Function", so they all look more smooth, rounded even. Hakke is the one foundry most likely to look like real weapons, since they're just about all function. And then they got a whole bunch of random other small foundries that are either given their own marks or you just gotta know what to look for, like Crux Lomarr.

[@satoruriolu6132]

[@PMMeCuteBugPhotos]

I actually read an article that raises a very interesting point about how revolvers might in fact be the best gun for peacekeeping in space. Particulary a silenced revolver with a gas sealing system like nagants. No automatic ejection and being able to be operated with one hand are of major importance as the last thing you want in space is spent casings flying around the cabin, while you also need a free hand to brace yourself in a lack of gravity. Add in on top of that that a space gun would need a very high degree of heat tolerance and such, and the very simple mechanism of a revolver makes it a very attractive choice. Just make sure to pack subsonic rounds if you plan to shoot inside.

[@justinmcwilliams6759]

When I was in the Navy in '99 - '04, we used what looked like an M79 but had polymer furniture and used elevation ladder sights mounted further back on the weapon. It was a single shot break open weapon and sadly since it's been 19 years since i left active duty, I cannot remember the model or manufacturer. Still had the same sound that gave the M79 the nickname "Blooper". (It's sound is something like THOOMP..........*BOOM*)

[@stuffandthings617]

About the grenade launcher. As most of those smaller grenade launchers (like the roaring lion which was in another video) those bouncing Grenades have some kind of trigger, when they are shot and the trigger is hold they don't explode for some time but as soon as you let go of the trigger the grenade explodes. Also the reload only starts after the grenade exploded. If you shoot and let the trigger go instandly it only flies a set amount of time until it explodes.

1:14 That's exactly why the bullets leave trails lol

[@TAGSlays]

Excellent as always.

I’d love to see Jonathan try to get his head around the wacky guns of Returnal

12:00 The cylinder does rotate, the animation can be scene when using a controller instead of a mouse. Try pulling the trigger SLOWLY on the controller and you can see not only the cylinder rotating, but also the hammer pulling slowly back as well. Heck, you can see the same action happen with most of the hand-cannons in the game so far.

The Coronach-22 bares more than a passing resemblance to the H&K XM8. I'm surprised Jonathan didn't pick up on that!

[@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

On top of his title, I'm a bit jealous of all the rifles behind jonathan. He has a whole rack full of things I'll never get to touch, let alone own, just casually organized behind him.

I'd like to see Jonathan revisit Battlefield 2042. They have added some interesting near future weapons recently.

Surprised Jonathan didnt mention how when you reload the quicksilver, you can see the barrel of the gun form. I believe the quicksliver uses nano tech, and basically the nano machines form up and act like a fluid in the frame of the gun, and form the bullets, micro missiles, and grenades as you pull the trigger. Pretty crazy.

Love these destiny vids, keep em coming!

Nice vid, more please! Also, cool shirt, live long and prosper Jonathan.

Quick rundown for you: Omolon is a company that specializes in Liquid Ammo (basically a glorified pressure washer) Suros specializes in ease-of-use, hence why all their guns look so simple. HAKKÉ is all about stopping power, and that’s why they are the high damage weapons. VEIST is about speed and precision, hence why they are usually high RPM weapons

[@XtreemeX]

Ok I've been using the Quicksilver storm for a while now, now just noticed the ads radicle is not center lol

[@Melbeezo]

I wish they showed him the final warning That weapon looks soo good

[@happyhoteldubs5403]

I’m nerding at all the EM2’s that are behind Johnathan 😂

[@JakeyBaby6]

Is that all the EM1 and EM2 rifles in the background? 😮

[@AnonymityIx]

The gun at 13:30 reminds me of the H&K XM8

[@acgearsandarms1343]

Do they not tell him the specifics of the guns like if they’re nanotechnology or use liquid fuel for ammunition? For context at least?

[@frozenfreehand1997]

I think these videos are basically his first impression without any information given
