Firearms Expert Reacts To Rising Storm 2: Vietnam’s Guns

[@squishy949]

A note about the M16A1, the game actually gives you 18+1 magazine capacity to reflect the fact soldiers in Vietnam frequently didn't load the 20 round magazines to full capacity in attempt to avoid feed issues.

[@MarieAvora]

Oh wow that is very interesting, thanks for sharing!

[@stevemc6010]

Supposedly in the Campaign server setting, the latewar M16 gets 30 round magazines though I've only seen them in the army men dlc

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

I'd love to see him cover other tripwire games. Red Orchestra 2/Rising storm 1 (they have bots so recording would be easier) and killing floor 1/2. Tripwire always does guns well.

[@lordgollum3700]

Are you gonna look at RSV2 in a review?

[@mikeb5063]

Shame we cant have him review the beta version of RO2 before they reduced the PTSD inducing death scream's,It was quite distracting to listen to the poor guy you just gutted crying for his mother in Russian/German for 5 10 min as he slowly bled out.

Seconding on the Aussie and ARVN armament.

[@OperatorMax1993]

there is also the GOM mod in RS2 Vietnam which adds more weapons like the Ingram Mac 10, the M14 with the full auto mode, Scorpion SMG, Czechoslovakian Vz.58, the Smith and Wesson bodyguard revolver, Carl Gustav M45, M18 Recoilless Rifle and many more

[@MarlenNurmakov]

What australian guns?

[@BunMangViet]

This was fun interesting episode in that Jonathan commented just as much on the robustness of RS2's mechanics as he did the weapons. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, but I will echo many other commentators message to revisit this game and the others, Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm 1 in the future.

[@abunchofiguanaswithinterne2186]

I swear the effort Tripwire has put into the attention to detail in just the gunplay and gun variety alone is super underrated.

Seeing VERIX get kicked at 4:00 is absolutely hilarious, I've played with him so many times

[@CeltKnight]

Pretty sure I've played with him too. That message and name looked awfully familiar, LOL. I've noticed that it seems there's ALWAYS that ONE guy in every group who spends the whole game spamming everyone to ban whomever he's annoyed at. Sometimes two serial ban bunnies go at it trying to out ban request each other. It can be entertaining.

[@bleyse1916]

These are Europe servers I assume?

[@massivive]

[@reecedignan8365]

I definitely hope that you join us in playing this game man. Made by the same guys who made Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm 1 these guys are very good in depicting the realism of combat. Also you’ll get to have more fun with “ALL” the guns in the game - from Mosin Rilfes, Thompson’s, Browning 1919s, MP40s, to RPDs, SKSs and RPGs (and yes they take into realism and the backblast)

[@Rudy97]

Rising storm vert good yes but Insurgency is a bit better imo

[@littlegreenfriend]

I would love to see him do Post Scriptum. I think he would especially like the mechanics of that game, since it has that "laying down your rifle" thing and a cool, realistic suppression system

[@arias1234]

Would be really good to see red orchestra's guns, i remember being able to change barrels on MG's and use alternate sights on snipers that you don't usually see in games. Wonder how accurate those actually were.

[@Brachwah]

We need more games like this. Where individuals are fragile, but teamwork is strength. Where hearing the cries of your fallen comrades is enough to trigger PTSD. Seriously, this game is a gem.

[@hiraethneko]

always love seeing Jonathan's face pop up on my recommended when a new one comes out♥

[@DeathShamen2182]

I agree with the others please do a part 2. This game also has other mechanics he hasn't covered like the ability to move the sights on the weapons to adjust for range. In my opinion this is one of the most realistic games in regards to weapon functionality and accuracy I have played.

[@chris57035]

The original Red Orchestra game had a mechanic like Jonathan speaks about around 3:12. With any weapon if you put yourself in a proper position you could reduce your recoil and stabilize your aim by resting your weapon on something. And it was anything. Side of a bunker, fence, table, window sill, pile of rubble. It was a cool mechanic. Also he speaks to having to rest a LMG on something to reload it. In the original Day of Defeat and Day of Defeat: Source, you have to deploy an MG42 or M1919 .30 Cal in order to reload it. Which is quite realistic.

[@2starkiller]

Mass Effect being teased there for possible future video is interesting. The way guns function within the fantasy of the series is described in detail.

[@PripyatTourist]

You should have looked into the mosin nagant with this game. The rear sight actually rises and falls with how you sight it. As a bolt action fan, I greatly appreciated that feature

[@gamerpigeonakafbi8210]

Technically speaking the AK shown was a Chinese Type 56 assault rifle. You can tell because of the hooded front sight

[@jonathanferguson1211]

You are correct. If I'm not commenting on details like that it's usually because the game is too interesting :)

[@Happymali10]

Overheating is actually why the Bundeswehr (german army) stopped introducing the G36. They had done "mag dump" testing, treating it like an LMG (rather than using the MG36), and no surprise accuracy suffered due to overheating.

[@theshaggycreeper220]

I like that they talked about the iconic guns and all but I wish they talked more on the lesser known weapons like the MAS-49 Rifle Grenade Launcher that is represented in the game, or some of the unique US weapons like the XM177E1, or any of the Australian’s weapons like the F1, or the 2 mounted weapons the DSHK and the M2

if im not mistaken the rpg-7 and similar munitians can be set to explode to variable distances (standard 800 meters) but they were used in vietnam as traps, or close in AA basiacly if they timed it corectly using for example distance markers to know when to fire

[@dogboy0912]

As far as the m16 reliability, RS2 has no jamming mechanic, but it's interesting to note that the US Army gets 20 round magazines with 20 rounds, while the ARVN gets 20 round magazines with 18 rounds, as well as access to 30 round magazines in the late war.

3:12 about the system that lets you peek and rest on cover, I think Wolfenstein's newer games (starting from New Order) have something similar.
