The bizarre nomenclature of CS1.6's guns

[@pezot205]

CORRECTIONS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHO3dmuZq5ZpqtU Original comment: I have just noticed that nowhere in the video have I mentioned WHY the guns have different names... Well, it's for copyright purposes. CORRECTIONS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHO3dmuZq5ZpqtU Commenters' corrections: - the D3/AU-1 is based on the H&K G3SG/1 (@TrollGarlic) - the Krieg 550 is based on the SG550-1, a longer-barrel version of the SG550 (@govinlock8568, @CS_Uravity_PRO) - the fake weapon names didn't always exist in betas and some post-1.0 copies, instead they used real names (@CS_Uravity_PRO, @Murukku47) - the NVG are actually based on a real model, the russian OH 1x20 (@specialforces3114) - regarding the M4 Super 90 segment: "Auto" could refer to a semi-automatic weapon; one that chambers a round automatically within the cycle (@mdz5083) - the 9x19mm Sidearm is based on the Glock-17C with an extended barrel (@KeksimusMaximus) Commenter's theories: - K&M on USP might be for keyboard & mouse (@wifelessyt) - regarding M4A1: maverick is an unbranded horse (particularly a yearling), whereas a colt is a young male horse (@toast3976) - the CV-47 could be based on Kalashnikov's name (but misunderstood as CalashnikoV) (@dottod7278, @Ozzymand) - FN got changed into ES is maybe because they wanted to turn the Five-seveN into fivE-Seven ( @DamagerZeOptimus)

[@dottod7278]

Also, the CV-47's name comes from its creator's last name, Kalashnikov, but slightly changed, so its CalashnikoV-47

[@MerolaC]

I am pretty sure it went liek this, the Reail copy fo the game had the fake names (1.0) But, the mod version of the game (as in the free one) the real names it up to v1.5.

8:10 - regarding the bugle shape: look at it upside-down, pretend that the barrel is the mouthpiece and the stock is the horn end, and then proceed to squint whilst suspending your disbelief.

@@pezot205 also in 11:23 the actual reason its called 'bullpup' is due to the weapons design, which is infact a bullpup design. a bullpup gun is where where the magazine and chamber are behind the trigger instead of in front of the trigger and according to wikipedia 'A bullpup firearm is one with its firing grip located in front of the breech of the weapon, instead of behind it'

The replacement letters for the manufacturer abbreviations and military designations are indeed used because they are next to each other. Why? Because its easier to code a lot of lines for a particular weapon when the letters are right next to each other. Source: I made it the fuck up. This just logically makes the most sense to me. Like how the XM1014 here uses YG1265. You just have to shift a finger over from Y to G, and its literally 1-2-3-4-5-6, but you go 1-2 with your right hand's pinky and ring fingers and 6-5 with the same hand's index and middle fingers respectively. You can type that out pretty quick without having to shift your hands much.

[@ProjectKhanCS]

Shortly after I watched this video, I became bored and decided to make names like this for other weapons. This is what I made (took about 1 and a half hour) Super Distruttore 12 Gauge SPAS 12 USA Anti-Material 82 Barret M82 .50 VSS RUS 9x39mm AS VAL 1191 Bolt Sidearm Colt 1911 Patton M1 Semi-Auto M1 Garand Stal Litteken NATO SCAR-H Arkansas 501 Sniper Rifle Remington 700 .500 W&S X-Frame Smith and Wesson 500 CVZ-74U AKS-74U Maverick M4A4 Carbine M4A4 Now what I did to do these names: Super Distruttore 12 Gauge: I played a lot of a gun called Pixel Gun 3D back in the day, and there was a gun called Mega Destroyer, that was a incredibly weak (nowdays, back then it was strong), SPAS 12 like gun. I simply took the Destroyer part, and put it in italian, and switched Mega for Super. 12 Gauge is just the caliber. USA Anti-Material 82: I just took USA (United States Army), putted Anti-Material (since it's a Anti-Material rifle) and 82 (because of the M82) VSS RUS 9x39mm: Since Google said that AS VAL said something about VSS (which I immediately recognized as VSS Vintorez, a gun I loved as a kid for some reason), I just put it on the name. RUS is where it was made (Russia) and 9x39mm is the caliber. 1191 Bolt Sidearm: I made something very similar to the Glock 17. I reverted the 1911 and changed Colt to Bolt, and just added Sidearm, since it can be one. Patton M1 Semi-Auto: I took the last name of who created the M1 Garand (George Patton) and added the M1, and added Semi-Auto (because the M1 is Semi-Auto). Stal Litteken NATO: I made the same thing as CS did to Herstal. It's just Stal. "Litteken" is just Scar in Dutch. NATO is just refering to the caliber. Arkansas 501 Sniper Rifle: Now this is creative. Arkansas was were the Remington 700 was made and 501 is the Arkansas's area number. .500 W&S X-Frame: .500 is both the caliber and gun name. W&S (Wesson & Smith if it was like this) is just S&W (Smith & Wesson) in reverse and X-Frame seems to be just the gun frame according to Wikipedia. It's like the AR-15 and the M4A1, the frame is the same. CVZ-74U: I just took the CV-47, and switched the numbers, added a U in the end and a Z (since Z can sometimes sound like S) after CV and there, I did it. Maverick M4A4 Carbine: Same route as the game, but I just took M4A1, and put M4A4.
