[@nap0038]

In the case of the fully auto 1911, I think the devs got confused with old terminology. At the time of the start self-reloading pistols, these guns were labeled “fully automatic” because they automatically fed another cartridge into the chamber and pulled the hammer back, ready for another shot. Nowadays we use the term “semi-automatic” to describe such action

[@alabasterscarf612]

Indeed. A lot of writers like Raymond Chandler use the term 'automatic' for what we now call 'semi-automatic'.

[@GremlinSciences]

The gun is fully automatic for the player though. It chugs away like a Chauchat, giving the impression that it's semi-auto, but it will keep firing as long as you hold down your fire button, something the other guns do not do.

[@elgordobondiola]

@@GremlinSciences ironically, something the trenchgun can't do

[@AmVenum]

It means full auto for the player, if you hold your fire button it’ll keep shooting

[@CallanElliott]

I think Britain actually uses 'automatic' for full auto and 'repeating' or 'repetitious' for semi-auto.

[@jtreed3296]

One of the things I love about RE8 was pointed out to me by a buddy of mine from the army. Watch Ethan's reload animations between 7 and 8. In 7, Ethan would release a mag and let it drop to the floor like almost every shooter out there. He'll even grab the fresh magazine after he drops the previous one. In 8, Ethan's had a bit of training. First is when changes mags. He'll already have the fresh one in hand. Second thing, he saves magazines the still have rounds in them instead of dropping them on the ground. He'll swap the magazines with the same hand. And you'll notice that as you ammo reserves deplete, you're not getting a full magazine if you swapped out a half-spent mag and haven't picked up any ammo yet. Third thing, Ethan isn't as awkward with firearms as he was in 7. General reload is faster and his grip is good. You can see it when he's aiming, too.

[@anas-432]

Chris trained him well.

[@josinboop6132]

He says near the beginning of the game he went through military training so it's cool that you can see the difference

[@Matti2ooo8]

> with the same hand mate, Ethan has at least six spare hands so you can never be sure

[@GremlinSciences]

Small correction, he _looks_ to retain the magazine. You can actually hear them clatter the the ground just after they leave the frame. I've noticed that in a lot of newer games, they put all that effort into making sure that the animation is a retention reload to explain away the lack of magazines laying around, but they keep the clattering of the magazine hitting the ground. A few of them even just drop the magazine in the last few frames instead of stowing it.

From Jonathan’s evaluations you can clearly see the RE:Village team probably consists of some serious gun nerds who at the same time weren’t afraid to throw realism out the window for Rule of Cool. Which I think is a good design strategy for a series like Resident Evil.

RE always has interesting weapons. The custom 92FS (peak 90s chic), VP-70, Hi Power, C96, etc. Wild that my favorite weapon is the FR-F2 in this one, but I do own a MAS-36 and love it.

Yep. Such interesting choices.

[@jamesnorman9160]

I remember once upon a time that RE games had guns in game which generally had the correct real-world names on them (often when you examined them in your inventory), but by RE4 and then RE6 onwards they just seemed to name them differently (IE, anytime a Desert Eagle shows up now it's generally called the Lightning Hawk). Did they need to get the rights from the real-life manufacturers to use the correct names/designations in game or did they just fancy doing it differently?

[@daddysempaichan]

@@jamesnorman9160 Yes, you need the rights from the real-life manufacturers. Hence, why even games like Call of Duty have made up names for some of it's guns.

I wonder if the confusion comes from it being ".45ACP" and the dev thinking it means the gun is full auto and not auto loading. Automatic in a 1911 meant it loaded itself.

[@jamesstien6847]

w-what no that's not what automatic as in a 1911, the 1911 is a SELF LOADING pistol you mean self loading not "automatic" god Im sorry but just seeing that makes me angry also the in game gun IS full auto (you hold the left mouse button and it keeps firing)

[@samoliver8351]

The rubberbands are commonly referred to in Military circles as "Rangerbands", and their purpose is in the case of the one on the vertical grip, to help hold the pressure switch in place, and in the case of the stock, as a way to fold and secure your sling to keep it out of the way when your rifle is not slung.

[@jeremyrm7]

I don’t know if he was ever shown the ammunition for the weapons in Village but most of the guns do actually have silver bullets

[@notmewtwo4044]

Also to add to the gyro jet. The closer the target the less effective the round. Its takes time to reach full speed.

[@SuperFriendBFG]

Hey Jonathan. Love the videos as always. Perhaps one explanation for the odd decorated weapons (M79 being our chief culprit) would be that RE:Village takes place in a town that is seemingly under the control of an old-ish "Royal" dynasty, or at least, folks who like to pretend to be "Royal". Anyways, it's not secret that Monarchs loved lavishly decorated show piece weapons, and that tradition carried itself from swords and into Firearms. The Gunsmith you deal with in the game perhaps serves (or did serve) these "Royals" as the modern equivalent to a Master Blacksmith. That could perhaps go on to explain some of the stranger weapons in the game.

[@stevebutters306]

The band around the stock is a nod to the "ranger sling" technique, where you bunch your rifle sling up and tie it down to the stock with a rubber band so it doesn't get in the way. When you need the sling, just give it a yank and it'll pull free from the rubber band. Interesting touch.

Nothing really to compare them to in the real world. Most futuristic thing right now with firearms is the US Army plans to introduce a new caseless ammunition.

Funny that he mentions using silver bullets since the Wolfsbane actually does use them. It doesn't specify on the ammunition's description I think, but in the reload animation you can tell that the tips are much shinier and whiter than normal lead tips.

[@Mark-in8ju]

Whoever thought of having Jonathan on this channel was a genius and i hope he is doing great. Also, for the next one you guys could do a Siege episode, the game has a LOT of guns that aren't seen often and he hasn't reacted to, there are also a few fictional guns like V308 and Spear .308 that he may find interesting.

[@rgw677]

Side note at Jonathan..would be nice if the Gyrojet(circa 1960's/70's) was given a second look by engineers today.The possibilities are amazing with guidance and potential payloads,increased boost..

[@philbateman1989]

The "fully automatic" statement for the M1911 was a joke referring back to RE: Code Veronica, where a character asks the heroine to trade him "something fully automatic" for a set of luger pistols he has that she needs. The guns that she gives him are in reality not fully automatic pistols (although for the purposes of the game they are lol) Since that line, it's kind of been a running gag in RE games for a character to describe a gun as "fully automatic" to indicate that it's really powerful when they don't know what they're talking about XD

I like the tactical reloading... far to many games military sims, arcade shooters just throw them on the ground. With the ammo systems that you dont loose bullets if the mags are still nearly full it means you could build mountains of mags. Its nice to see it in more games. I want it in Ghost Recon aswell... keeping the mags rather than throwing them on the ground.

It's implied that the Duke has done business around the village prior to the events of Resident Evil Village, so I imagine a good chunk of the weapons found around the village are from people who had bought them from the Duke prior to transforming into lycans or otherwise being killed.

"This is basically a real life bolter" So that's where they got the inspiration for the bolter

[@TheArklyte]

Funny thing is that everybody understands drawbacks of gyrojet and almost everybody heard of it in one form or another, but apparently very few people realize that gyrojet is the ammo, not the gun. So nothing(except patent rights and high initial investment) stops one from developing two stage munitions similar with active-reactive artillery shells where prime charge works as normal firearm and shell engages its rocket motor right before leaving the barrel. Basically bolters from 40k in all their glory... which was plagiarized straight from Deathworld novel down to the .75 caliber itself:D

[@n8iv3phant0m4]

The M1911 in Village is Dante's Ebony, he dropped it and he really needs it back

[@MINUANOGAMING]

Ebony is the slow firing one, though. Ivory is the weaker, 3-round burst gun.

[@NoESanity]

8:16 in context the reddot upgrades make a bit more sense. the RE8 combat system, as you dial in your aim the shot does more damage, so a red dot helping you dial in your aim faster would improve rate of critical shots and with more critical shots, you have a higher damage average. so while the optic isn't directly modifying the guns functions, it does modify how effectively the player can use it.

[@seansachs6105]

I've really enjoyed this series and I'd love to see Jonathan cover the guns of The Conduit and Conduit 2. Both of those have a good assortment of real-life firearms, experimental-styled, realistic-looking firearms, and alien/energy-based weaponry.

[@doublebrewski1855]

Just a note: He mistakenly refers to the pump shotgun as a "Winchester 870" however it is a Remington 870. The "W" in the designation, "W870 Tac" is likely referring to the "Wingmaster" line of 870's which are the higher-end versions geared towards bird hunters. It is an odd choice to make a Wingmaster into a tactical shotgun, but I have seen it done before. I am surprised he did not tear apart the Wolfsbane revolver. Granted, it does look cool at first glance, however the design makes no sense. It is clearly a center-fire weapon which uses modern ammunition, fed into the cylinder using a loading gate on the right-side, just like any standard single-action revolver. For some unknown reason, it has a blackpowder revolver's loading lever underneath the barrel. Also in the reloading animation, each spent cartridge easily falls out as Ethan rotates the cylinder and replaces them with fresh rounds. In real life, brass expands after the round is fired and typically you have to use the built-in ejector rod to push spent cartridges out of each chamber. There is no ejector rod in this design. The only revolver I have seen in my life that comes close to this, would be the Ruger "Old Army" single-action blackpowder revolver. With that one, you can purchase a conversion cylinder to fire modern cartridges. That's the only way I could see having a loading lever while using modern ammo.

[@sarcasmenul]

You know your stuff, interesting read thank you

[@TheEchelon1619]

There were a ton of cartridge conversions for old colt navy's and such running around the time period using centerfire but mostly the more popular and cheaper rimfire cartridges. It's not that unusual. The loading lever was just never removed for whatever reason could be many. The only inaccurate parts is the ejection.

[@HanSolo__]

You can even find a muzzle-loaded Colt SAA replica with a case ejector in this place. So it is the other way around. Resetting an open frame Dragoon to use cartridges filled with a black powder - yup. Not only a conversion kit for the use of the bp-filled cases but smokeless powder ammo as well. Changing the cylinder would allow shooting magnum-fed Dragoon.

[@doublebrewski1855]

@@TheEchelon1619 Thanks for the input, however I guess the major oddity that I was really focusing on was the fact that the frame had a built in loading gate. You would not see that in a converted black powder revolver. I should have made myself more clear.

[@TheEchelon1619]

@@doublebrewski1855 Ah. About the loading gate dilemma. Actually Colt (albeit I might be mistaking this with Remington I forget) did some kind of cut into the loading gate of cartridge conversions and sold those as "deluxe versions" so it wouldn't actually be unusual to have the loading gate still on the revolver. However, anyone that can afford that nice of a damascene on the gun can afford the extra cut on the loading gate. The revolver is "unusual" but not improbable.

[@aydenburgess905]

I'm surprised you didn't notice, but the Wolfsbane is also the gun that uses silver bullets! It's never directly stated, but the description of it says it's "said to be effective against werewolves," and if you watch the reload animations the bullets look silvered
