I don't hate these videos but teaching about a firearm and actually being in fighting position you need to use one is two different things. I usually skip these videos because (this isn't a brag), but most of what he's saying is common knowledge and isn't nothing most people who are familiar with firearms already know. Im not saying he's wrong or it's bad content but if you wanna know about firearms, fighting with them is a key aspect of how it's used. And once you kinda already know that, it kinda kills what's he's saying.

Unfortunately, the animations in SQUAD that show your character holding their weapon while within the vehicle are based on the characters class, not situation.

It also got some sort of ammo reservoir and it reload automatically which is quiet impress. Overall, it's good but a little overengineering and it will cost a lot of money for this pistol. Shotgun+Combine Tech: The weapons look so compact ideal for personal defense weapons. Its got a folding stock remind me of VZ61 Skorpion. The way this thing reload is open like top break and insert each shotgun shell into the tube magazine. Then you close it, rack it and its ready to fire. It got the same hologram display sight like the pistol instead of conventional optic sight. What surprise me the most is autoloader. Those mechanical arms will grab each shell reload your shotgun automatically. Also, why would you need a grenade launcher for shotgun? Shouldn't we have that for assault rifle instead? Pulse SMG+Combine Tech This is probably the first compact size energy weapons used by the Combine. When the player reload the magazine. I thought you gonna insert the whole magazine into the gun. Instead, you just insert that small tiny energy cell and depose the empty magazine which is kind of waste resources if you ask me.

7:45 the move he made i think that it save is life because yes Jonathan was asking this a the start of the video there is in fact a "suppression" effect it blur you view and wen you aim wile supressed your gun move a lot so i think that it save is because the enemy could not aim anymore

[@xGamermonkeyx]

Ooh thinking about really detailed and weighty reload animations I'd love to get Johnathan to look at the guns in the original Killzone on PS2. They had some incredible animations and weight to them, and I'd love to see what he thinks of some of the wackier aspects of the weapon design, like the Helghast having a bullpup drum magazine in their assault rifle!

Far Cry 2. I REALLY want a commentary on all bootleg weapons in it

[@fct4life]

oh yes, and the jams

[@Immafraid]

They aren’t bootleg, they are just poorly modeled.

[@SukhdeepMultani]

That would be sick, especially showing him the jam animations

[@biomechanicalcyber-jesus7573]

One of the games that had the most realistically working weapons; jamming, getting dirty, and at last - straight up falling apart in hands! Take care of your weapons! and keep them by your side…

@@Immafraid By bootleg I mean that in the lore of the game all weapons are either been though a lot of conflicts OR are knock offs of the originals

17:38 in squad you need to keep some distance because they actually implemented the minimal arming distance

[@Mjk10957]

We didn't have the sharp shooter when i was British infantry , we had the mighty L86 crow canon ( LSW ) god i hated that weapon lol love the SA80 though still enjoy shooting that I'm still serving just not infantry anymore. I was a minimi gunner in iraq its perfectly fine to shoot form the shoulder not the preferred method as soon as you can't get in a stable fire position then bipod is deployed and the fun begins , however i done contact drills over and over again doing pair fire and movement with the gun basically using it like a full auto rifle. When i was on patrol i used to have a 50 round pouch on my minimi so it was easier to fire form the shoulder in the initial contact if need be , the rest of my rounds where in 100 round pouches and i also had a 200 round box carried 800 rounds all in all. The helicopter thing is correct yes you never put your muzzle in the dirt however a chopper is different you keep the muzzle facing down , just in case there is a ND so the rota or engine dont gets hit. When i was infantry i had been in many heli on op in ireland and iraq and always told to keep the muzzle facing down for that reason .

[@zade8586]

On the point of stoppages like he mentioned, I think far cry 2 would be a great one to check out

[@mitri5389]

yeah slapping your weapon to clear it helps... far cry is so mediocre, in my mind its a game you give to someone who has never played a fps game before... its too cinematic and not in a good way, everything just seems to done because it looks cool. while the core aspects of the game are left alone, which in my opinion would have to the horrible AI, they are blind, simplistic with no group cohesion, they just see enemy shoot a few rounds and hide behind cover. even old games like hl1 and 2 have more interesting enemies, they implement bounding, aggressive flanking and entering and will use grenades to flush an enemy out of cover...

[@zade8586]

Mitri I never said it was realistic, just would make a good video, didn’t need an essay on AI and inaccuracies.

[@mitri5389]

@@zade8586 im just saying its not a very appealing series to do. maybe fc3 which had the gm 94 and surrpressed makarov would be slightly better.

[@garrettjackson913]

Absolutely, he would enjoy it.

[@owenashbacher4507]

Around 2:30, he might be checking under the feed tray, but he's not pulling back the breach block to actually check the chamber. Plus during combat you wouldn't want to check the breech cause under fire the chamber can be hot enough to set off rounds. So you want the sweep the feed tray of brass and link, put the new belt in and close the lid as efficiently as possible.

[@DeffoNotToucan]

C7A2 (M95 in Denmark)❤️ used that when I served in the Danish army. Amazing weapon, and the optics are spot on too. Great to try that in a game.

[@Fox_on_a_Rollercoaster]

Would love to see him reacting to the good ol original doom guns just for fun. With the steel panther shirt and his knowlege of the good old games I bet he has something to say about those 2d sprites and low frame animations. Also for a western themed video call of juarez: gunslinger has some really interesting guns with the schofield and the colt ranger (I guess it was). This was great as always. I actually came from forgotten weapons to the royal armories and from there to here, gamespot. Love the collab.

6:50 I was a grenadier on this point with two whole squads trying to retake the point we all got wiped out by a tank cause no one was an AT

He should definitely react to Arma 3 weapons, especially considering the futuristic setting whilst still having iconic weapons (every weapon and vehicle is heavily inspired by real weapon except the MX serie of rifles for it was designed by Cmmg specifically for Arma 3)!

6:57 Wow, look at how the bullets are actually coming from below the scopeand hitting the wall, as opposed to the scope being "in the barrel" so to speak. It's those little things thst make it for me.

[@hvr1874]

Yes, and projectiles are actually rendered into the game with proper range drop and properly sync to sound. So your fireteam buddy drops dead beside you and then only second or so later do you hear the distinct Timberwolf boom being fired from couple of hundred meters away.

[@goosegg4653]

@@hvr1874 I wonder how realistic the terminal ballistics are, like how bullets react to concrete walls, or different level armor plates, ricochets, and of course how vehicle and tank armor works... Hopefully it isn't as bad as War Thunder's system right now.

[@harveyknguyen]

@@goosegg4653 the armor system is definitely much more simplistic, plates don't have a numeric effective thickness, instead they are one of several preset thicknesses, and plates don't have a CE and KE effective thickness

[@goosegg4653]

@@harveyknguyen makes sense. That reminds me of Arma a little bit, with "thick" and "thin" armor, and only a few things can actually hurt tanks even if IRL an autocannon can pen the sides and rear.

IRL, to fire RPG-26 you must remove the safety pin FIRST, and THEN pop-up the rear sight, which is also cocking the fire mechanism. Squad devs take this mistake from their own Project Reality mod for BF2.

[@sujimayne]

You assume they don't have safety pins removed
