I'm not sure if you mean that it's loaded with drum magazines, fairly I don't play Vanguard, but there was actually an M1 Garand with a rotary magazine called the M1941 Johnson. From what I remember you put in the clips from the side, and you can load two of them. In total, you could fire 11 rounds before needing to reload. It was meant to replace the M1 Garand but failed.

[@j.g.elmslie9901]

I cant help but think that the Pattern Room in the Tower of London should be a location in the mod. After a major fire at the Tower of London in 1841, the majority of the firearms collection was moved to the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, in north London. In real-world history, that's where the Royal Armouries' collection of weapons was stored up till the move to Leeds in the late 90's. But you could easily justify it remaining in London in the fallout universe with a return to the Tower... and yes, a cameo with a quest to find and deliver some unique weapon(s) for the ghoulish curatorial staff would be quite appropriate.

Everyone forgets the last part of this noble sir's title: RIGHT, let's get back to Jonathan

[@ExtraRamDraws]

Fallout's always been about very wild assumptions on what the future might have when it comes to weapons, especially for standard ballistic weapons. You go back to the Isometric strategy days with Fallout 2, the best ballistic weapons you could get were the H&K G11 & the Pancor Jackhammer, and we all know both of those weapons that never saw a wider market (or even a functional product with the latter one.) So, fans keeping that tradition going with the inclusion of the Tround Pistol is, in my eyes, very welcome to me

[@MrMortull]

Very true. I think the most tame and reasonable example of ballistic guns we find in the entire series is the Luger you can loot off Gizmo... an historical firearm that looks and works as it should, with the only problem being that it's the better part of 300 years old at that point and should be in 'I really do not want to fire this for safety reasons' condition.

[@davvvvo]

[@theFORZA66]

​@MrMortull doesnt necessarily apply to uniques or weapons you find in abandoned locations but i think a lot of the weapons you find in the wastelands are supposed to be reproductions

@@theFORZA66 in fo4, bethesda had a magazine featuring the pipe pistol, so im pretty sure they implied that most weapons in the east coast are pre-war, even the improvised ones. fo1 and 2 had the gun runners, who by 2 had become full time gunsmiths

[@screamingcactus1753]

@@luansagara I'm pretty sure most of the pipe weapons you find in FO4 were produced post war, there's no way there'd be enough pre-war pipe guns floating around to arm everyone in the commonwealth. They were just also produced before the war to get around restrictions on firearm possession, which was their in game reasoning why you can find them in places and containers that haven't been explored or opened since before the war.

The pump action shotgun reminds me of the shambler from Metro.

[@MinersLoveGames]

I have to imagine that the Shambler was a definite inspiration for that shotgun's design.

[@Scuzz1204]

It’s from Neeher and iirc it was directly inspired off the Shambler. Albeit a more Americanized version hence the trench gun design. I know neeher gives basically free use for any mods so chances are he either made it for them or London just really wanted it in since I don’t think it has a unique either.

[@bluecube9515]

It’s a standalone mod for Fallout 4 called the Select Shotgun.

[@gunnargunnarsson5963]

I also like to see Jonathan react to the guns of Binary Domain, which is a cyberpunk game taking place in 2080 in Japan, and the weapons that the main character squad, the Rust crew, are equipped with are basically futurized version of modern guns. And the robots that you fight also have their own standard issue guns, there's also the underground Resistance, who built their own guns. The game was developed by the same people behind the Yakuza games. I would also like to see Jonathan take a look at the guns of Vanquish, a 3rd Person Shooter from Platinum Games, the weapons ranged from futuristic assault rifles, shotguns, LMGs and pistols to energy weapons that actually use the main character's suit energy to fire, too bad Vanquish didn't sell well enough to warrant a sequel, which is a huge shame since the ending is quite abrupt. For an April's Fools special, it would be nice to see Jonathan react to the guns of Plant vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, eventhough only the zombie characters carry guns.

If Jonathan would make a shooter, what weird collection of unusual firearms would he include?

[@cmasjoan7333]

That's basically what I was going to ask. To add on, though: If you made a fantasy setting with guns, would they follow real world designs or would you make them develop in a different direction (vertical revolvers, receivers under the trigger, etc.)?

[@Yoel_Mizrachi]

@@cmasjoan7333 What is 'receiver under trigger'? Are there any real world examples of such arrangement?

[@Ashinonyx]

​@@Yoel_Mizrachi if I had to guess, a lot of mini-guns, heavy machine guns, and the like can have the trigger above the actual receiver. I'm mildly curious about the efficacy of it in smaller arms, but the benefits of keeping the heavy weight lower than shoulder height is pretty obvious I wager.

[@richstuart6816]

The Combat Rifle (EM-2) was originally .303 in the mod but since the patch now uses .280 ammo, which is much harder to find until you have the perk to make .280 rounds at an ammo bench.

But then it’d be a Gauss musket not a laser one since Gauss uses the exact same idea as that. The real issue is why the powder? Seems near entirely pointless and unexplained outside of just sharing all the same reloads for each of the musket weapons.

@@Scuzz1204 yeah it wouldn't be a laser musket but a slight error in naming is better than a laser weapon needing powder for some reason. As for why the powder, potentially hedging your bets. If it can work with either powder or energy you will benefit more from scrounging up ammo.

[@prestongarvey7745]

Note for Jonathan: I believe the Webley self-loading pistol does appear in Verdun as an option for some Highlanders. Pretty obscure, but I remembered the Webley for its rather unique look.

[@HailKosm]

The Dardick trounds are such a piece of irony, Dardick invented them to maximize space in the magazine because triangles fit better than circles. But its hard to make a brass case triangular so he went with the nylon plastic based case, But because its a polymer case it needed it to be quite thick, therefore the Dardick barely fits more ammo than it would have with conventional rounds. So in the end it probably would have been better for the popularity of his design if he had gone with a conventional cartridge shape than he did. His system worked quite well, but no one wanted to invest into his trounds.

[@rich1051414]

I think the laser musket's shot is initially propelled by the gun powder, and then accelerated even faster by the coils. Which is actually less nonsense than you would think. It is a feasible idea and would theoretically overcome timing limitations that bottleneck coil guns. The projectile moves slow at the start and fast at the end, but if you give it a kick start, the timing from start to end could be tighter, so it would be easier to calibrate correctly.

[@derekp2674]

This has been done with railguns, especially when chasing very high muzzle velocities with low mass projectiles and plasma armatures. UK MoD researchers produced such a combination a while back and managed to get muzzle velocities around 4500m/s. In the USA, Sandia Labs used a Two Stage Light Gas Gun as a pre-injection system for a railgun and managed to add a further 1000m/s to the gas gun's injection velocity of around 7000m/s. All laboratory systems though. Single stage "flyer plate" coilguns can readily achieve about 8000m/s from a standing start, so long as you don't mind the projectile being only the molten remains of the flyer plate.

[@Scuzz1204]

Only issue is as seen at 3:28 it’s actively a “laser” projectile as it turns the person to ash. But as well it actively iirc uses the same ammo as the base musket weapons and then there’s the question of the powder it doesn’t really make sense at all.

We wonder - and some Hunter may express Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace, He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess What powerful but unrecorded race Once dwelt in that annihilated place

If an expert is critiquing your work as an indie dev as though you were a triple A studio, cudos to you!

[@SavageGreywolf]

The Dardek doesn't shout EXTERMINATE because it knows you'd want to

[@McClacks]

Shout out to the Casio DBC-32 Databank at 13:33. Nice choice Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history.

[@Sparegrisen1992]

Nice to see that Super Hans has settled down as a museum worker.

[@pembertr0n]

I love that this sort of show can exist because of the internet

[@RileySkye100]

Love to see you guys cover the weapons of F.E.A.R.

[@mmilerngruppe]

12:08 nice! the guy shoots with the power of his mind, he doesn't even have to use the trigger.

[@Daktangle]

The Dardek has been an absolute joy to use.

[@galedono]

Agent Cate Archer still asks for No One Lives Forever/2 And also +1 the Valkyria Chronicles guy too

[@Tekdruid]

11:00 "Not Entirely Unlike a Sterling" is the expression you're looking for.

[@aferguson850]

Q&A suggestion, what does a typical day look like for Jonathan? What does a typical day look like for Dave?

[@poohssmartbrother1146]

I hope there is a part 3. There are loads of great guns in london

[@porkbroth6631]

Jonathan, we've seen you watch games all the time, but do you think we'll ever see YOU playing the games?

[@falsfire]

Just in hopes this might get asked of Jonathan: I am Canadian but I also have a decent amount of personal experience with the Lee Enfield .303 rifle. I'm not sure which particular variant(s) they'd be called, you'd know that better than me... In the Air Cadets as a youth, our squadron only had access to the training rifles the Cdn Forces provided for free, which were WW2 vintage Lee Enfield .303 rifles, but re-barreled down to .22 calibre for target shooting. I don't know if they replaced the entire barrel or somehow changed the existing one, but I remember these rifles were *heavy*, with the all-wooden frame and the (seemingly now thicker) barrel. This variant had the really (basic?) ironsights: called a 'Leaf Sight' in the RCACS. Basically two vertical bits of metal near the breach, where a scope would normally be, and one vertical metal post at the front of the barrel. You'd line up the shot so the target was between the two rear posts and (under) the front narrower post. Very basic! But yeah, heavy, even firing in a prone position, having the forward part of the rifle held by an arm which elbow was on the ground, it was still noticeably hard to keep steady... Compared to the rifles we got to use when we competed at the provincial/national level. This is question: are you familiar with the Anschutz competition .22 rifles? Because that's what we used in competition, a very lightweight (designed for Biathlon) competition .22 rifle. 5 round magazine, bolt action, and a 'peep sight', meaning it is an optical sight (glass with crosshair) but it has no zoom whatsoever.

The other thing I find funny with the Lewis is the right hand taking off the empty pan and then the left hand instantly coming in with a full one 😂
