About that Fallout 4 Assault Rifle, apparently it was first intended to be a power armor only MMG or HMG, but for some reason, probably time, was turned into the basic assault rifle. This explains the size of it, it looks much more natural in the power armor's massive gauntlets. In addition, as one of the first guns designed for the game, they were experimenting with the weapon crafting system, partially explaining the hodgepodge of parts it turned into. Kind of a pity really, as a power armor exclusive weapon it would have been pretty neat.

The ping is from the stripper clip being ejected. However with a detachable drum mag like that there wouldn't be a clip there in the first place.

[@foxymanaic5934]

@@sailoroftheinternet3290 Ah ok! Thank you for clarifying! I understand it now.

[@PatrickKniesler]

OK, hear me out. The shotgun at the end could work if you forget everything about pump shotguns and redesign the mechanism to pull rounds from the drum magazine into the tube with a ratchet system and then deliver them to the chamber with each pump. The design is still a pretty terrible idea due to the newfound weight at the end of the barrel making it a chore to swing around or aim. Below a 19" barrel the spread on most shotgun loads is too wide to be effective, anyway. I'm saying it could be made, not that it should be. But I still want to see it made.

[@RvEijndhoven]

Yeah, The way that it's shown to work in the game is that that drum at the front isn't actually a detachable magazine (it's still loaded from the port under the breach), but a weird tube extension, probably meant to keep the tube from sticking out beyond the end of the barrel (which ironically makes it more realistic than the standard shotgun in the game, which magically holds six rounds in a tube magazine that's only long enough to fit three rounds.)

[@sarcasticguy4311]

So, you're hand loading the magazine tube which ends up in the drum portion and then when you use the pump to load the next shell it comes back down the tube? The design is so insane and impossible. How does the spring inside feed the drum AND pull the last shell back through the tube? What's the point of even having the drum if you're just hand loading the tube? The idea of a drum mag is for quick swapping of 8-12 shells. Being a fixed drum completely defeats the purpose and very easily relegates this weapon to the "Stuff we thought looked cool but did zero homework on physics" pile.

[@RvEijndhoven]

@@sarcasticguy4311 To be fair it was a community design, so 'it looks cool' was probably the only consideration the modder who made it had.

The Machinist's new Job Weapon in FFXIV: Endwalker is pretty freaking atrocious as well. Most of the guns in the game are crazy high-fantasy magical designs or forgivable fantasy-style revolvers, but the Ataktos seems like it was designed by someone who googled pictures of guns and threw every random feature that they thought looked cool onto the model. It's got: A bolt-action (on a weapon that's capable of fully-automatic fire) What looks like an 8x power scope (on a weapon that's handled like a pistol) A Skorpion-style top-folding stock that isn't actually a folding stock (it doesn't have a hinge and is just welded over the top of the gun) Two magazines welded together (both of which fit into the _gigantic_ magazine well) A sling swivel molded directly out of the barrel (not really bad, just... weird) No ejection port No actual buttstock I'm sure there's more, but that was when I stopped looking in order to preserve my sanity.

Now we just need the most Blessed weapons of 2021!😆 This is legit awesome tho, thanks Jonathan & Gamespot!

[@jonathanferguson1211]

You're welcome, and Happy New Year!

[@reapordeath]

They already did that sort of... They did "best guns of 2021" When i watched that, I was hoping they cursed guns episode was coming lol I just love when Jonathon saw the Thompson and his first reaction was to channel his inner Pitch Meetings. "Wow wow wow wow wow wow... Wow." 😋

[@billwithers7457]

Feel bad for the FO4 assault rifle, since it was supposed to be a .50 cal heavy MG. So the cooling jacket, carry handle, etc all make sense in that context. And then they were like, "here, it's in 5.56."

[@magicassassin2950]

This series is just fantastic. Examining accuracies/inaccuracies from video game guns while acknowledging that they are, in fact, video game firearms. I know Jonathan has examined some firearms from H3VR (Hotdogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades), but honestly there's so many firearms that have been added since then that maybe we could get a part 3. Some recent additions have been the EM2, Welrod, Ultimax, and so many more sweet guns to use in virtual reality. Plus there's the surplus of community modded firearms as well.

[@foxredfield3288]

The reaction to that MP5 has me wheezing over here 🤣

[@fluffywolfo3663]

Maybe you could do a compilation where he says what some of his favorite fictional guns of the year are. It’d be cool to see him do the R301 on a titanfall video (this is a hint) and say “yes, this is pretty great.”

[@manuporta09]

Jonathan and gamespot, keep up the good work. Wildly entertaining and educational. I'd love to see a recation to Verdun and Tannenberg's weapons, really enjoy those games. Cheers

[@xthinkfast]

i'd love to see jonathan react to ready or not's guns once the game is a bit more fleshed out, the gunplay and sound design in that game are on point

[@Zilch616]

You guys absolutely need to show him Insurgency Sandstorm, show him the Welrod with the bipod and scope

[@voltzshocker7996]

Oh God

[@mrpurple2306]

Oh will deffo hate it XD

[@riz0096]

They already did iirc, maybe it doesn't make the cut for this video

[@kayagorzan]

Maybe it’ll appear in the “sausage video” where other weapons from different games that didn’t make the cut get mashed up in a little neat compilation

[@andrew6978]

He already did that game.

[@PavelBukarev]

Jonathan should check Resonance of Fate. It's quite old and all, but weapon upgrade system in this game is something. I mean if attaching layers of different optical and red dot sights isn't cursed I don't know what is)

[@konkonart7128]

if only the game rendered the guns to match the insane accessory loadouts for the guns. Still, nothing quite like causing a launch and a smackdown with an smg.

[@hehehefunny7]

1:34 I come home after school and check your channel every day. I love you bro

[@alexmilo]

I have always wanted Jonathan to react to the equip/reload animation of the M4A1 in Counter-Strike 1.6/Source. In those games you pull the Forward Assist as if it was the bolt.

[@TheOrangeRoad]

At least the mods in EFT are technically possible, as fudd as they are Many of the mods in Vanguard stop the firearm from functioning. You can't have no stock on a STG44. There is a buffer tube. The rifle will not cycle nor charge

[@TheArrowedKnee]

I mean i think EFT is one of the most realistic games in terms of it's portayal of firearms out there. It's still a video game, but the details in terms of animation and portrayals are excellent

[@colagamers2649]

I thought not having a stock on STG-44 would just effect the recoil.

[@MrBojangles002]

Would love to see Jonathan react to Ghost Recon Future Soldier, the gunsmith mechanic in that game was insane and did it before any of these other games

[@afd19850]

GRFS doesn’t get the love it deserves even from parts of the GR community.

[@MrBojangles002]

@@afd19850 I loved that game. Wildlands had it's issues but if you played co-op you could at least play stealthy and tactically for the most part if you tried. Breakpoint is just.... awful

[@Pattamatt1998]

PREACH. I adore that game and spent way too many hours tinkering with the weapon customization back in high school

[@sim.frischh9781]

To be fair, a checkering on the grip would be easy enough to make on any work bench with halfway decend wood working tools.

[@NotFluplaxio]

0:20 HE DID THE PITCH MEETING THING LETS GOOO

[@jeffpesos1480]

I don't think I have ever watched a video on this channel that wasn't with Jonathan. Excellent series 👏👍.

[@thatguy-qg9lk]

"get your modern warfare out of my world war 2" couldn't have said it better

[@jfygt2623]

Drum mag garand that still did ping sound was hilarious 😂 Cursed COD weapons never fails to amuse me 🤣

[@frank8917]

2:24 you know in Max Payne 3 something similar happened, only instead of an oil can it was a bottle, and it was attached with tape

[@ruikaeni.5271]

Jonathan externally: This is so wrong to look at 😔 Jonathan internally: *SCREAMS OF PAIN AND MISERY*

[@nikiboys4448]

I hate guns in "WW2" games that are not standard guns. I mean withe stupide reflex sights

[@hanswalter5388]

Fun Fact:The reflex sight is exist during WW2 but they didn't use it on guns, only Air-Craft.

[@Truck63capt]

Love the videos! You put so much time and work into them and they make my day better

[@Revolver2411]

Keep up the good work Jonathan! Always professional and knowledgeable. Royal Armouries is on my list for when this pandemic is under control!

[@corwinsexton834]

I think it would be neat for Johnathan to react to borderlands guns, because half of them seem impossible

[@420mralucard]

Borderlands is a fantasy sifi world though, it’s not trying to be realistic like CoD.

[@robertpatter5509]

Some of the rifle chassis systems could be doable. Maybe. You could have a sideways magazine. The FG42 did this. Many of the bolt action rifle we can do. Don't see why we couldn't do a pump action Whittling's Elephant rifle. Essentially a pump action Magnum rifle. What we don't have are. - Elemental guns and ammunition ( Dragons Breath ammunition is the closest that I've seen . Guess that's elemental) - Energy Shields - Grenade class mods - Class Mods - Semiautomatic shotgun that has very low recoil , fast reloading, fast firing and still be an effective cartridge. As seen in Borderlands. - Crazy looking Gatling guns - We don't really use bayonets that much. Certainly not long ones. - Semiautomatic rifles with very long bayonets. - Revolvers firing crazy fast. Overall I think we can do chassis systems and sideways magazines. Some sci fi looking real guns or stocks are - H&K SL8 rifle - Hera Arms CQR stock - Thordsen Gen 2 featureless stock - Magpul PDR - Hera Arms VRB

[@fireblade1575]

At 1:05 he just looks bewildered

[@sylumgand]

The one thing I never thought about with that oil filter silencer clip was he pulled it right off an engine, can you imagine the shower of oil coming out the drain holes with the first shot? Even drained there's ALOT of oil in the filter fins.

Jon needs to question his insanity once he seen COD Vanguard guns

[@dexterdexter8208]

These have to be the most entertaining videos I have seen. I can watch Jonathan react to video game guns all day.

[@epic886]

If I ever got to meet Jonathan I feel my life's work would be complete, the man is a legend by now.

[@CallOfCutie69]

Would love to see Jonathan reacting to new weapon malfunction system in Tarkov, which includes higher chances of failure to feed with these obnoxious drum mags.

[@ashby1672]

I wish his reaction to STG-44 from CoD Vanguard was included in the video too

[@brettbeatnick]

Apparently the Fallout “assault rifle” was originally meant to be a lmg. But late development changes happened. There’s some artifact code in the game files that show that gun was a bit different

[@vinomsnake]

Jonathan is just so much fun. He's too cool

[@RustyDroid]

14:15 there's an EM-2 in Hot Dogs Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

For the featured TF2 shotgun, we do in fact have a similar real-life fully-functional tube extension system: the XRAIL by Roth Concept Innovations. Its a rotary-tube extension that is threaded to the front of the shotgun’s existing tube magazine.

[@afd19850]

Yes and no, the Xrail is more additional tubes stuck together to form a “drum” shape not a true drum like in the game. I am pretty sure there aren’t any metal shotgun drums either as they are unreliable enough in shotguns

[@AnonEMus-cp2mn]

​@@afd19850 As I said, I am aware that its a rotary-tube extension and not a drum. Though the in-game design is drum-like in appearance, there is no indication that it functions like one internally and it doesn't detach. It could plausibly function like a rotary cylinder like the one inside the drum housing of an Armsel Striker. My main point was countering Ferguson's assessment by showing a real world example that you can have a functional drum-like extension on the front of the magazine tube, that is reloaded manually.

[@Gyarretto7]

One of my favorite guns is the M1 Garand. It's a weapon so legendary, that General George Patton described it as the greatest implement of battle ever created. 6:09 this thing is an atrocity. it's sacralige. it's intolerable.
