It's funny that Jonathan calls out the Mateba as "the anime equivalent of the Bladerunner blaster" but doesn't mention the Jericho 941's own legacy in anime - the one he handles IRL is very nearly identical (steel frame, slide safety), to Spike Spiegel's, of Cowboy Bebop.

[@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

Cowboy Bebop is the only reason I want a 941.

[@dfdedsdcd]

Some of the customization parts in game are the Spike Grip and the Spike kit. They make it look more like the one from Bebop.

[@ToriusHeart]

about C96 animations. for quite some time it was believed that it was impossible to have attachment-based animations due to the engine. as a leftover of the devs' attempts to make guns switch animations based on attachments, we have vertical grips as attachment options being completely unused, with the models being occasionally used on some weapons as pre-installed attachments instead. i think modding community has figured out how to do it though. this probably also applies to MP5 Kurz barrel not having a proper handguard as well. AKM indeed got a reduced rate of fire of 561 RPM according to stats. its stock is also not there by default. by default both normal and golden AKM got an underfolding stock, with this fixed stock being part of some DLC. it is available on all AKs and it doesnt differ based on the weapon, so yes, it is going to be an AK-74 stock regardless of whether it is a AK-74, AKM, Saiga-ish shotgun or 7.62 Krinkov.

[@nerezza5943]

It seems he's estimating the fire rate based off the audio, but the game notoriously doesn't even try to sync the audio fire rate with the actual fire rate. If you fire only 1 round on full auto mode the game still tends to make it sound like you fired 5. Also the modding community works with game scripts while the developers usually work with the game's binaries. Game scripts are intentionally designed to slow or stop execution before the binary code does if performance issues happen so that the basic gameplay features (like reloading your gun) will always work. Tying gun features to the script system increases the chance of your gun failing to work during gameplay significantly which is why the developers are limited to only what the game engine binary code is capable of. This is also why the Fallout 4 modding community's achievements in reverse engineering that game and injecting binary code into it is such an achievement.

[@tangerinepaint3643]

And guess what, attachment animations ARE possible

[@JJ-xt2dq]

Ofc attachment-based animations are possible… its just a matter of wanting to put in the effort.

[@ootdega]

The normal wooden AKM furniture is in the game and is very good in terms of stats. Yes, it's part of a piece of DLC. But you don't just _get_ it from buying the DLC. Actually unlocking it is an ENORMOUS ordeal. One of them requires taking on the painting heist with all four people wearing full heavy armor, and completing it _in stealth_ within a strict time limit. That's _just_ for the buttstock. I never did it, and believe me, I tried. With normal attachments, you can get the AK down to minimal recoil. With the wooden furniture, it's nonexistent. Combined with the sheer firepower of the 7.62x39, and a quite reasonable ammo pool of four mags, it is a _serious_ piece of kit. As for it being available for _all_ AK variants, that was not the case the last time I played it. Full classic wooden furniture was only available on the AKM. Also, it's called duct tape, you soggy dog biscuits, and personally never had significant stability issues. In fact, it was stable enough for outright hackers to affect all four players against their will, teleporting you around the map and instakilling you at will, without crashing the game.

[@plushiepenguin]

Pretty tame payday 2 weapon customization so far. There's a lot more cursed builds than this. But I suppose that spares Jonathan a bit from the usual gun enthusiasts pain.

My favorite is the wire stock for the Single Action Army, where the character still somehow spins the gun every time they draw it, visibly smacking themselves in the face with the stock.

One little detail, in Payday 2 the Taser enemies do actually incapacitate you if they zap you for long enough, which you'd need an ally to get you back up after, but it's plenty of time for an ally to take out the taser cause gameplay. So it does sort of have that detail.

The Mateba in the video isn't actually the Sei Unica, it's the 2006M, which is a traditional double-action revolver, though of course it still has the swing up cylinder and a 6 o'clock barrel. Togusa's revolver in Ghost in the Shell is a mix of the 2006M and the Sei Unica. It's less well-known than the famous Sei Unica though, so I guess even Mr. Ferguson can slip up when it comes to obscure Italian revolvers.

Speaking on the subject of less than lethal weapons in video games, mayhaps we could be so lucky as to have Jonathan review SWAT 3 and 4? They had some beanbag shotgun and paintball pepper spray delivery, not to mention the lethal loadouts carried by the operators.

I’m loving his reactions to these guns

[@brodygray744]

Most of the time, a bunch of attachments and decals on a gun makes Jonathan turn his nose up. I love that with the Deagle he said "its a shame there isn't a bald eagle on there somewhere" as if they didn't go far enough

Need some Ready or Not on here. Has really good weapon realism. Think Jonathan would enjoy reviewing it

[@kimiariffin2046]

Wouldnt mind a part 3 of this tbh

[@14AllanD]

Jonathan honestly seems like the nicest guy. Very knowledable in his field and overall comes across as such a nice person. SO happy he has been willing to come back again and again here as this has been such an interesting series! Edit: Also the fact he straight up understands the logic of videogame design makes this even better. Ex. when he is talking about the "Broomhandle" and how the gun is likely just registered as a Pistol, so the animation would more likely default to that

I love Jonathans shirt here and I want one. Looks like a bike with a machine gun which is hilarious on a bunch of levels for me

Stiiill missing out on the Thanatos .50 Cal with its CQB Barrel.

[@georgebreahna5564]

The one weapon they HAD to put in, and it's missing. I think there still is material for another video, with the CQB Thanatos, the short barrel minigun (not microgun) and the Judge shotgun, perhaps with dragon's breath shells, among others.

Thought the akimbo MP5K’s were akimbo MPX’s for a moment because of the rail b handguards? Grips?

[@orangepeelman45]

You should do the door kickers seires. It's a top-down realistic military shooter that has a large variety of guns available.
