Most of the wooden firearms were from testing to see how effective it would have been as a curiosity. They all were either bombs or tow shot wonders for the most part.

[@JimmWasHere]

The gun at 7:52 is an Eoka, based on the improvised pistol made by a member of the Cypriot guerilla group EOKA in the 1950s. IRL the gun is a single use muzzle loader which consists of a 20mm casing strapped to a piece of wood; although in game its multiple use. There is one stored at the Royal Armouries archives in Britain.

[@Link_Idk]

Damn, I'm surprised that we never knew about this from the eoka

@@aerthreepwood8021 No. This is false. Emile Nagant co-designed the m1891 «mosin nagant rifle», while Emile and (mostly) his brother Leon Nagant designed the m1895 «nagant revolver». Note that this is design, not production, which is a different story.

[@prep-h]

Mythbusters did an episode on nailguns, pretty sure they were mostly ineffective due to no rifling and the aerodynamics of nails.

[@nicolaigiess8006]

Yeah, they hurt like a really strong BB gun but that's about it. No penetration unless point blank and the nails don't exactly fly well...

[@PsychoMachado]

Fun though, in Rust they don't cause much direct damage, and are used as a sidearm. You'd fight with a crossbow or bow for a while, and after one or two hits, charge at the enemy spraying them with the Nail Gun, because it's innacurate and chip damage, but when the enemy only have 10 or 20 hp left, spray and pray works.

[@kluukje2808]

The perspective is weird cause he is shooting it straight up, but the rust nailgun only has a range of +/- 10 meters before hitting the dirt and it takes a full mag of 16 to kill someone wearing leather, its a quick fire weapon but really low damage and range.

[@dragonwithamonocle]

Much better than one of the previous "gun experts" that was talking about how revolvers are great for suppression....

[@mpondachongo1138]

[@Schrodingers_kid]

[@_blood_moon_proto_1500]

you live in bliss-less ignorance, you don't seem to realise how fuckin weird the 40's through to 70's was for weapons tech, there is experimental pythons that where designed to be suppressible, .44 magnum revolvers made to be suppressible, hell there was even a webly mk6 (not 100% on if it was a mk6 but i know for a fact it was a webly) that was made to be suppressed, in fact, if you know where to look, you'll find a lot of revolvers made to be supressed, last i checked there is over 30 known models, including custom made saa and a few real (albeit custom made) black powder navy revolvers (one or two of which where unintentionally supressed as they where intended to diffuse or catch smoke) so in summery, a well engineered revolver can be supressed, and when they are, they are usually better than semi auto pistols as a matter of fact, you can get kits to supress almost any revolver, even .500 magnums (tho that last one is a gimmick and utterly pointless)

[@dragonwithamonocle]

@Brian H 100%. There was one guy in one video though that started going off on a tangent about how revolvers are generally a really great weapon to suppress and everyone who knows anything about guns collectively facepalmed in the comments... it was bad.

[@ZombieWilfred]

07:52 I'm fairly certain the barrel on that is metal, not wood, so the character is hitting the rock on the metal of the barrel to create the spark. Israel also mentions a shotgun shell, but it's clearly supposed to be a muzzle loader.

[@squidfan6187]

Well it does load shotgun shells

[@ZombieWilfred]

@@squidfan6187 Not from what we can see of the animation in this video, the left hand is just stuffing something down the barrel, so it looks like it is being muzzle loaded...

@ZombieWilfred the animation doesn't show it, no, but in the game you need to have a shotgun shell to reload it, and the shell is expended when fired

Paul I think is talking about the 1890 something Nagant revolver. Part of the firing cycle from memory pushes the cylinder forward so there's no gap. Interesting engineering behind them. Maxim patented the Maxim Silencer from the original 1900's patent. For use with Maxim Machinegun.

[@thunderpunkradio]

[@DjDolHaus86]

@@thunderpunkradio There is also the Quiet Special Purpose Revolver version of the S&W Model 29 which was developed for use by Tunnel Rats in the Vietnam conflict (never officially adopted) and the OTs-38 Stetchkin revolver which is a more modern Russian revolver using the same technology. They both use captive piston cartridges which are quite interesting, they look like a normal necked cartridge on the outside but internally you have a piston between the powder and the bullet so when fired the piston accelerates the bullet but prevents any gas escaping into the barrel. Obviously they're fairly weak (50M range) but they're about as quiet as you can make a firearm with a report about as loud an air pistol.

10:00 they missed that the Colt Python is magically cocking itself after each round fired, which isn't how it actually works. The hammer would be down until you pulled the double action trigger or manually cocked it.

Speaking on not being able to clean the AK, it doesn't matter because the guns break before youll ever need to clean it, and the ice AK is just a skin for the gun its cosmetic only

The Eoka is actually modeled off of a real-deal makeshift firearm crafted by some SAS dude in Vietnam. It's preserved in the Royal Amory in London and IN FACT, their head of firearms preservation did a review exactly like this, laughed, and said "we actually have this gun. This is what they used for this model" and went and got the old boy. The SAS dude used a lighter to fire it as a shotgun tho. Not a piece of flint.

[@Tekdruid]

8:45 I believe the pipe is _meant_ to be a bit of metal tube, and the ammo is basically just rocks and some gunpowder shoved in through the muzzle that a spark from hitting the steel pipe with a rock ignites. A Cypriot militia group actually used this kind of thing, usually made from a 20mm shell casing, as an improvised firearm. 26:20 Looks like some kind of hybrid between a rocket launcher and recoilless rifle maybe? But yeah, would definitely hate to have to lug that thing around with all the *THICC* metal pipe. 30:10 They actually busted tanks in the Winter War with a satchel charge that was basically a potato masher grenade with a box of TNT or whatever attached to it... and I think the Germans had one with just multiple grenade "heads" attached to a single stick.

In rust I would describe the weapons as half homemade and half military grade style. Also as you said the nail gun in game is generally used as a very short ranged weapon but the cross bow in game is generally the favorite bow and used up to about 45m (Edit) the ice assault rifle or ak is a skin and for some reason instead of making it a skin model they made it's very own weapon the only difference is visual. Also military grade weapons are normally bought for noc vendors or you can get them from taking over to cargo ship, destroying the attack helicopter, and a Bradley tank with rockets
