Firearms Expert Reacts to Ghost Recon Breakpoint's Guns

[@colchronic]

It's so good to see Jonathan Ferguson the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal armories museum in the UK home to thousands of iconic weapons throughout history

[@Tr4wnet]

Well, to be perfectly honest in my humble opinion without being sentimental, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in distinct perspective and without condemning anyone's view and by trying to make it objectified and by considering each and everyone's valid opinion I honestly believe that Jonathan Ferguson the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal armories museum in the UK home to thousands of iconic weapons throughout history is a nice sight to behold.

TWO Vectors and a Colin Furze reference!? What an episode!

[@skootmeister3994]

You know what’s really sad? Ghost Recon, and Tom Clancy games in general, have up until recently had these tried and tested models along with fun experimental weapons ingame. The XM29 OICW. The XM8. The conceptual Modular Rifle-Caseless. The RX4 Storm. They all appeared in Ghost Recon, and it was fitting as the Ghosts are (or were) essentially a test-bed force for new gear. There’s not a lot of that these days. Sure, there’s plenty of new weapons like the Scorpio or the MSR, even the ACR, but we don’t see a lot of state-of-the-art stuff anymore.

[@stevemc6010]

well it's not the early 2000s any more and firearm design has pretty much plateaud on the AR-15. The NGSW would make sense in this game, maybe even the RM277 bullpup that lost the competition.

[@skootmeister3994]

@@stevemc6010 Plateu’d for now… that said it’ll probably be a good while until that changes. It’s a shame, really. It ends up kinda making everything look the same. Heck, folks are too scared to let their imagination work. And oh GOD yeah, the NGSW would’ve been great.

[@the_neo_crusader]

​@@skootmeister3994I know it's for practical reasons that many new rifles are AR derivatives but to me they are so lame because they don't have personality like cold war guns did

@@the_neo_crusader FAMAS, FAL, G3, and a plethora of others. It’s enough to get you interested in the weird and whacky. Wildlands was the last game to really do all that with its selection. (Granted some of the options were in the territory of ‘dafuq?’)

[@f1r3hunt3rz5]

Nowadays the breakthrough would be a totally different weapon systems entirely, or at least a popularization of a different caliber of ammunition and weapons

15:53 Makes me smile that this show, Dave and the fans made getting the two Vectors add to the Museum collection. I can imagine how happy Johnathan was to get them. Maybe look at Ghost Reacon Wildlands in the future? Thought that would be looked at prior to Breakpoint.

props to Jonathan for shouting out Ian

[@mesahmesiah6281]

They were doin the ian mccollum too

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

They've done videos with him. It would be like saying "props to Brandon Herrera for mentioning Donut Operator".

[@Ward413]

⁠@@justinlast2lastharder749I don’t find that analogous at all since GameSpot has a very different audience than Forgotten Weapons whereas Brandon and Donut have literally the same audience. I bet 90% of people who subscribe to donut subscribe to Brandon and vice versa. So that’s why it’s cool for Jonathan to shout out Ian as the cross audience is much less and it potentially exposes more of the video game audience to the gun history type content Ian does.

[@AE1OU]

Please Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, break down the weapons from *METAL GEAR SOLID 3* before the remake comes out. So many weapons in MGS3 to react and comment on like the Patriot's infinite ammo magazine, the EZ tranq gun, Snake's customized officer M1911A1, Snake whittling the pistol grip to use a knife for CQC, Ocelot's SAA juggling skills, The End's paratrooper tranquilizer Mosin Nagant, the Davey Crockett recoil-less nuclear launcher, Eva's chinese Type 17 mauser clone with her "bandit shooting" technique and Volgin's electricity discharging the 7.62mm bullets. There are so many more other interesting trivias and weapons in MGS3 so please Dave and Johnathan, please consider making a video for the MGS3.

Maybe they will do it when the remake drops, otherwise I think they would've done a MGS 3 episode already.

[@gegeji6442]

Would be super interesting to see what he think about all the base weapons and their upgrade path since they are mostly quite plausible looking but once upgraded they tend to get all kinds of add ons, increase a lot in size and lenght. Also definetly we need his reaction on anti tank lances and since he's also keeper of artillery also all the new mortors featured in 4.

[@basvanheumen4231]

I'd like to see a part 2 of this. Breakpoint has added a lot of modern (military) guns to the game, there's likely a couple the Royal Armoury doesn't have yet. The weapon customisation isn't fantastic, you usually have the same attachments available for every gun. Not many different/gun or brand specific attachments. Still, a lot of nice modern guns to show off here.

[@UNICORNF3TUS]

Yes! I've been waiting for Jonathan to take a look at this game. I'm not surprised at all that he's played it, because despite it's weird quirks it's an amazing gun nerds game. Please do more videos on Breakpoint! There's still a lot of interesting guns left.

[@juusolatva]

we used to have a Valmet as well, although it was a tractor, since Valmet has made all kinds things of during the years. I guess it's kind of fitting for Valtion Metallitehtaat (State Metal Works). Valmet is still around, but they don't make guns anymore and the tractors are now made by a separate company called Valtra.

[@MrGrimsmith]

As soon as Mr Ferguson mentioned attaching a jet engine to a bicycle I thought "Furze already did that. And a go-kart." I'm surprised he hasn't done a shopping trolley yet but there's time. Fortunately the closest he's got to firearms is a firework launcher. So far...

[@elchjol2777]

The armed airborne drones in Breakpoint do perform some extreme evasive manuvers in combat. And considering there is one kind with some decent armor,high agility and two pistol caliber rotary machine guns, you will attempt anything to up the likelihood to hit. Current drones may not take that much to down but that thing takes anywhere from 3 to 15 hits with an assault rifle to down.

Some dudes are getting an 11.5 variant which is way lighter and i feel still works in our role/mission set, especially with the suppressor aiding with recoil compensation & muzzle velocity a bit. the lowers are also newer on those models with enlarged bolt releases & a bit of a flare around it to easier actuate on an empty reload; appreciate all ya do Mr Fergerson 🤘🏽

I would love to have a Vector, but just can't get past the fact that I'll be limited to semi-auto on something that was designed specifically to be an SMG. The 10mm version would be the one I go for, if one day I do end up being able to get properly licensed and all that to own full-auto firearms. Also like the shotgun there at the end, despite the odd setup especially with the knife on the grip, because it showcases that shotguns will indeed drop a person at further distances than right in front of your face like most games have them (mostly for balance reasons I assume).
