Firearms Expert Reacts To Rust’s Guns

Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the weaponry of the Rust, including the MP5 submachine gun, a variant on the infamous ‘Shovel-AK’, as well as a whole load of ridiculous hand-crafted firearms.
In the latest video in the Firearm Expert Reacts series, Jonathan Ferguson--a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries--breaks down the guns of Rust and compares them to their real-life counterparts.

[@randomtology2173]

@@viprdude not so simple. there should NEVER have been any live rounds on the set. period. but they were using the gun for shooting cans in between takes?! thats stupid, why did they need to use THAT gun? couldnt they target shoot with their own guns?? its such reckless BS. look at the john wick movies. they used WAY more than one gun, they used hundreds, and they were pointed at the actors by keanu, and vice-versa, because the scenes required it. no one died. but im seriously shocked that after brandon lee got killed, they didnt completely switch to just using fake prop guns, or guns without firing pins, and add the sound and muzzle flash in post (which is easy these days, and done a LOT)

[@Nathan-dt2tu]

@@randomtology2173 There are multiple points of failure, but it is still as simple as viprdude said. Everybody who handles a firearm is responsible for making sure it's safe. The armorer failed by not safing the weapon and not directly handing it to Baldwin. The AD failed by handling the weapon at all, and not checking the weapon was safe while holding it. Baldwin failed by not checking that a weapon was safe BEFORE POINTING IT AT ANOTHER PERSON AND PULLING THE TRIGGER. Even the official story makes no sense, because if ever there's a gun to be pointed directly at the camera, the director and cinematographer should not be directly behind the camera. At no point should Baldwin have pointed the gun at anybody, and at no point should he have pulled the trigger if he was "practising drawing the weapon from its holster." Baldwin is not the only person with responsibility, but please do not bullshit and pretend he's not fully responsible for pointing a gun at another human and pulling the trigger. He belongs in prison for manslaughter, and based on the ongoing reporting it looks like that's exactly where he'll end up. Let alone the fact that he's the producer, and people using the gun between takes should be something he'd have people fired over. You can't pretend he didn't know, since this was either the 3rd or 4th occurrence of a negligent discharge (reporting seems quite inaccurate on if there were 2 or 3 prior incidents).At the very least, it should make him aware that there is live ammunition somewhere near set. Baldwin is the most responsible for the incident, with a close second being the armorer girl.

@@jonathanferguson1211 I'd think aiming at the locks and hinges would make more difference that a funny bullet, but for the fun of it: It's a 5.7 mm diameter, 23.4 mm length, jacketed bullet with a 2.83 mm boat tail and about 12 mm of tapered front. If we assume a 1 mm jacket thickness and a solid boat tail to give it structural integrity, plus an aluminium double-cone front end providing the right ogive for feeding and a back point to hit the primer, there's just room to fit a 4.5 mm large pistol primer in there, with a 4.7 mm diameter, 6 mm long, cylindrical charge behind that primer. That's 104.097 mm^3, enough for 171.760 mg of TNT, with a yield of 718.6 J, which is within reach of .40 S&W and .45 ACP if you go with Underwood's overpowered products, but more like a .357 Magnum. Not bad! I wonder how well TNT would take to 127,577 "g" of acceleration, though. At 6,940 m/s, at least the detonation would spread back through the charge faster than the charge was going forward through the door, so they wouldn't just be blowing up in the air behind it.

@7:48 Gotta correct you here Mr.Ferguson... that SMG is actually a copy of Bill Holme's design from the book "Home Workshop Guns for Defense and Resistance Vol.1". It would later be coined the _Holmes-9mm Auto_ and _Holmes-.22_ in his future work, "Home Workshop Prototype Firearms". The model even has Holme's signature "knurling" (done on a home lathe) on the rear receiver-cap and barrel lug. The only _deviation_ I see from the source-material, is the game models' collapsible-stock would block trigger function, the goofy front bladed compensator/flash-suppressor and lack of a pinch-folded fixed rear sight tack-welded to the upper-receiver (which Bill simplified to a single metal piece). Holme's work was cleaner, but that's most definitely his design. Hope this helps!

With the small size of 5.56, you'd have difficulty getting much explosive in them. It wouldn't be much more destructive than normal. Though, since they drop more quickly they might be significantly longer allowing for more space inside.

really great video, and definitely wasn't expecting RUST! though about the MP5 and other modern guns still holding after all those years post-apocalypse, it's because RUST isn't really post-apo, and in general, weapons like LR300, M249, etc are actually air dropped by planes (we don't know who give those to the players and such) alongside other supplies i believe

To be fair, in the past alpha and beta stages of the game's life(most of it), it was assumed and often suggested to be a post-apocalyptic setting, with few of those in-game signs suggesting otherwise, and airdrops were really just a mechanic inherited from the early alpha.

I'm honestly really glad he went on that bit about the bolt-action rifle recoiling to the left, and how realistically rifles recoil to the right, because I never really knew how to semi-accurately* represent horizontal recoil in a game before learning that. *Ignoring that, of course, your vision isn't going to be 1-to-1 with where your gun is pointed in real life, but that's a concession that needs to be made in almost all FPS games, especially ones where recoil is something you're meant to manually compensate for.
