I'm surprised he didn't mention it- the gun at 13:03 is specifically the Russian MTs-255, a 12-gauge revolving shotgun. I've seen them in that cut-down configuration in pictures online, and upon looking it up, it turns out that configuration (the OTs-62) is meant to be used with less-lethal 12-gauge rounds for law enforcement. Pretty neat, and fits with the recurring theme of a lot of Soviet and Russian guns.

I was pretty much conjoined to my G3 for 6 years. It's lovingly named "the Norwegian handcannon" in my former army-branch. And he's 100% right, it's an unwieldy and chunky piece of weaponry, not fit for anything longer than medium range targets. It kicks like a donkey, and I've only seen 3 people able to hold onto it on full-auto. They were huge guys who STILL had to lean forward and press the recoil down while hip-firing.

Love the addition of the Hk21. Its a fantastic LMG design that has its history in lesser-known worldwide conflicts, and was popular for having the same controls as the G3. Given its history in the Salvadoran Civil War and Portugal in the Colonial Wars, Its not only a realistic weapon for Far Cry 6; but also Far Cry 2’s setting.

[@roberttrester4030]

*IM NOT SURPRISED BY THIS BUT* One thing they got wrong with the hk 21 in game model is the links. If you look the links are coming out of the weapon right side up like an M60 or most LMGs that use disintegrating links. BUT on the hk 21 platform the links face downward. On most LMGs that use those links there is a saying brass to the grass meaning keeping the links facing upward and the bass downward when loading. But the HK 21 has a slightly different feed mechanism where you would place the brass upward or towards the sky and the links downward. You can actually see this if you look at his cutaway HK21 the brass is facing upward and the links are facing downward. It's a sight mistake but as a gunsmith I couldn't miss it. LOL all these games end up having very slight problems most normally like this one that really don't matter to much.

Shotguns are weak. (͡ ~ ͜ʖ ͡ °)

[@goober2873]

honestly one of my favourite series on youtube

[@jelloman80]

Love your knowledge on the firearms and why they do and do not work in these games Keep up the good work, Johnathan!!

[@inquisitorbenediktanders3142]

17:29 good thing in phoenix point the rocket launchers are used by those wearing heavy armor and the thing is also moving itself above the head in a position where the backblast is only gonna hit people behind you.

[@yanot80]

That RPD is the hommage on Rhodesian modification of the machinegun used by Selous scouts.

[@VeraTR909]

Great video, even after watching Forgotten Weapons for years religiously, I still learn something new from these every time ;)

[@ElijahPickleFISH96]

Despite some of the classic Ubisoft issues that are in Far Cry 6, I was thoroughly surprised by the weapons’ look, feel, and animations, they did great on that.

[@daftcow706]

The Vietnam m16 has a 30 round mag but still holds 20 and it angers me

[@theNoogler88]

That bit of glass on the Groza optic is the top half of a flip-cell I think. Magnificent.

[@MidinVal]

I've noticed Far Cry does a really good job on almost nailing the accuracy of weapons in a fictional world. They did it extremely well with this one, especially the end.

[@yapflipthegrunt4687]

Key word: almost There's a couple of cursed ones

[@shala_shashka]

@@yapflipthegrunt4687 yeah but far cry now just feels wrong without something that’s cursed

[@AuspexAO]

"This is the best modeled M16 I've seen in a video game." ALSO "This gun fires CDs at supersonic velocities." Ahhh, FarCry.

[@antcommander1367]

those cd's looks similar to DeWalts metal grinder wheels.

[@bruhtholemew]

17:00 there's actually extremely old footage of someone using something like this in an attempt to make a jetpack. They did have a shield just like he said, but the guys back caught fire anyway and a bunch of people put it out with snow. Look "The First Flying Machines - Failures and Mishaps" to see it.

[@DubleDecker64]

One thing I didn't see him comment on was the BP-2/VHS-2 is a left handed bullpup(I believe), because the ejection port is on the left side of the gun which would spew hot brass into your face if you shot it right handed.

[@TheLazerSword]

Jonathan, I have a question- What was the original intended use of the Dragons breathe shotgun rounds?? To me they seem pretty useless. I would like to know about it

[@jonathanferguson1211]

Purely a pyrotechnic recreational thing as far as I know.

[@Zekegedd]

They set shit on fire.

[@dylandailey7337]

a website that i found selling them advertises them as signaling devices

[@bensmith6868]

Not as common in real life as games they are more a novelty shell, they have no real documented official usage besides hey Guys check this out let’s set that thing covered in gas on fire

[@BackwardsPancake]

From what I heard, they had some (possibly only proposed) use in quickly setting off backburns in wildfire management situations. (Basically, burning down some section of the forest that's in the way of an advancing wildfire in a controlled manner, to deny that advancing wildfire more fuel)

[@FrostBiteArt]

6:14 Man, look how they massacred New Dawn's saw launcher

[@MurrmorMeerkat]

*improved

[@catblitz5103]

but... macarena...

[@Gageaw72]

I would definitely like to see more of him reviewing more of the weapons in this game.

[@i-_-am-_-g1467]

That lovely g18c in the background !

[@Shyfoxs]

14:49 I believe MACV-SOG in Vietnam used chopped down RPD's, sometimes even further customized with front grips as shown in the game.

[@bihansiceklone]

yeah i was surprised he didn't mention the sawed-off RPDs, as soon as I noticed I thought he would surely talk about it. Maybe he was so thrown off by the missing handguard he that he didn't really notice lol

[@daviddavidson2357]

"Mom can we have VHS?" "Nosotras tenemos VHS en casa!" VHS at home

[@rohanalias9053]

Death machine vhs

[@tgirl_fangs]

I wanna see Jonathan's reaction to Destiny 2 weapons, particularly scout rifles due to the.....impossible magazine placement on most of them

[@jacobleukus6930]

We need a part 2 for this one

[@diamondback3327]

I'd recommend having Jonathan take a look at the weapons in Payday 2. Quite a variety most of which are, to my mind at least, well modeled. And plenty of...interesting options. Loving the series so far, keep up the great work!

[@jeffbezos2960]

He just did one if you haven't seen it yet

[@azmeer7753]

"Making a DIY sniper scope from some random metal tube & lenses, & then, creating an aiming crosshair by drawing one on the scope with a Sharpie..." How much more hilarious could that be?!!!

[@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski]

I was looking at 2 way mirror finished arcrylic sheets for a project and it occurs to me you could use a cut square of that and a laser pointer to make a passable red dot. Securing both to a strong and stable enough base to maintain zero would be the real hard part. Plus if you don't want it to explode when you drop it you would need a durable housing. Probably be easier just to buy one.

[@beekaa5]

9:54 windshield wiper fluid reservoir, exactly my thought XD it only lacks a min/max marking

[@chillygargadov2813]

The disc launcher was also remade into a real weapon by the hacksmith so it's a good video to check it out and see it shoot metal discs

[@jonathanferguson1211]

No way! I'm subscribed to his channel but I missed it somehow.

[@supergageman1]

I would love to see Jonathan analyze the guns from Farcry BloodDragon. Its the perfect collection of 80s action movie guns and it would be a great way to check out the more unique stuff from the Farcry games

[@fooligins8722]

They did a really good job with the ksg loading the different tubes again with the exception of the spent primers

[@david7019]

9:18 Are we not going to mention the adorable croc with the shirt?
