[@supremeghost7950]

The most ambitious crossover in gun history tubers since project lightening.

[@jmullner76]

Still a classic

[@zacharylovelady9265]

They worked together on books im pretty sure. So it's not really surprising and is also pretty awesome!

[@coobk373]

they also have made videos together before

[@bobo-cc1xw]

He already has chippa rhino. 3 barrels for the holy trinity

[@Onbu_]

Ian's signature weapon would be something french for sure.

[@halekang1805]

My money is on mas38.

[@joelnotsure2871]

Gotta go with FAMAS.

[@heffatheanimal2200]

yeah, my moneys on the FAMAS too

[@martinh2783]

The Zip .22 will be his signature boot pistol.

[@LadyAnuB]

I'm for an over a hundred year old weapon, the Chauchat in .30-06 🤣

[@martinh2783]

Ian and Johathan should be portraited as Legendary hunters in Hunt: Showdown. Pretty please Crytek.

[@Louber1115]

These guys are the feel good heroes the internet needs. Awesome.

[@davidwilliams4830]

As a gun loving Brit (Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿) Thank goodness you pair of firearms obsessed individuals are putting out content together Long live both channels

[@hstwodrainage.1410]

Sadly, we in the UK can hardly use or have access to what they talk about.

[@DAN_0000_]

I can just imagine an action movie with Jonathan carrying mp5/10 and ian with a mas 44

[@kayagorzan]

And the running gag is that Ian can’t find ammo for his MAS

[@DAN_0000_]

And at the end Jonathan pulled a em2 out of nowhere

[@terry7907]

I think he would have a Berthier.

[@martinh2783]

Don't forget that Ian will at some point rock a Wauser.

[@thatdudeinasuit5422]

Movie idea Ian and Jonathan have been dropped deep behind enemy lines in the internet to rescue their loved ones (Ian's MAS 44) and (Jonathan's MP5) they befriend a number of guns along the way who have been oppressed by the evil-cursed gun producers of the internet before finally facing the kidnappers and oppressors of the guns, the armies of Battlefield players, and CoD players

[@vito3628]

Two legends

[@TheSundayShooter]

Not the first time they meet and certainly not the last 🍻

[@causewaykayak]

Is it ok to say , that was charming. Just thoroughly pleasant and clearly in the traditional christmas spirit. Two gentlemen in their club chairs. Dickens wpuld have recognised the scene. ❤

[@Cats-TM]

Hey, Jonathan, if you see this I would like to say thank you. This past few weeks for me have been…not great. And watching you just talk about firearms has been such a help to make me not feel terrible. So, uhh, yeah, thank you. I do appriciate what you do and hope to actually see them in person one day (well, more than just at the Tower of London).

[@jonathanferguson1211]

I'm very glad to hear that. I hope things improve for you soon.

[@Nakker42]

Well that is a fantastic festive surprise!

[@awmperry]

Indeed!

[@BullittGT40]

If Ian were a video game character the annoying side missions would be him looking for 7.65 French Long ammo.

[@Tom_-]

This could actually be the thing I'm most looking forward to all month. Also I wanna know what classic English pale ale our lad Jonathan is drinking. Looks nice.

[@RoyalArmouries]

Us too! If it reaches 1m views we'll reveal Jonathan's choice of tipple.

[@michael2636]

Thank you! Looking forward to it!

[@shaggyrebel8737]

This is gonna be wholesome and i already love it! Ian would probably have a signature weapon thats compact, controllable and french.

[@RyuAzuku]

Whoever you guys have as your video editor deserves major credit. This seriously got me hyped, and it's very well done!

[@coopersmith9828]

At what point will we have an official Royal Armouries plush of Johnathan?

[@Moshington]

😂😂😂😂 I’m down

[@jensh92]

No fucking way. Said in the most respectful way possible. I can't wait..

[@sionsoschwalts2762]

Ian's signature weapon in a video game would probably be an FG42 for his rifle and a Modèle 1935 pistol in .32 lounge.

[@ziggurat-builder8755]

Can’t wait!!!

[@xirensixseo]

i bet either Chauchat or some french smg that folds into a pocket knife

[@davebell4917]

If it folds into a pocket knife it has to be Swiss.

[@Dragowolf_Rising]

I love watching both of these guys talk about unusual or prototype guns! Can't wait to watch the colab.

[@Slivyr]

I love it when these two show up together

[@_Twink]

How does this not have like 5 million views already?

[@Austin_H_1900]

I’m definitely excited now!

[@Eldor-117]

I haven't been this excited b/c of a trailer in ages.

[@dekuleader5372]

"Gun Jesus" and Royal armory, the crossover episode we didn't know we needed.

[@Regulareverydaynormalguy1]

Ahhhh I can't wait 18 more days!!!!

[@Smintjes]

These guys are no.1 on my list of people I’d like to have a drink with.

[@RoyalArmouries]

BYOB on the 20th and you can ;)

[@wyvern7567]

The full video will break the internet. My prediction.

[@peterclarke7240]

Best weapons... Ian: I'd go chauchat, but I've seen his mc51 video... Jonathan: Mp5. Mp5. Mp5. Mp5. Mp5

[@ChickSage]

Okay, now that just looks like all kinds of fun!

[@calebmeyer2121]

Ian's signature weapon is the Chiappa Triple Threat triple-barrel shotgun. He is the way and the light, and the light is sometimes muzzle flash.

[@personagenerica2124]

This is like the avengers endgame for the people that love the .303 savage

[@alexcs4669]

loving how the production value of these keeps going up, always glad to see a bunch of passionate people doing what they do best

[@RyuAzuku]

Sweet! Can't wait for this series!

[@Fidiii]

Fantastic collab! Can't wait

[@mistermonkey5842]

I imagine them both armed with the pride of Elbonia; flachette firing G11, full auto only, equipped with an under barrel mounted live hand grenade chucker thing. Night/low light optics consist of a dual IR/UV flood source feeding a face mounted cathode ray tub that requires a good seal with your physical eyeball to function and does so with some clockwork orange eyelid grabbers. Uniform will be swiss alpine pattern but all the colors are dayglo. And they would dominate by shear will power alone. Accuracy through volume, victory by overwhelming violence of attack.

[@TMFShooting]

Thank You Guys '' Great Stuff 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@RoyalArmouries]

Our pleasure!

[@bintjbeil7892]

Sure an early Christmas gift

[@ledgaming6489]

Can’t wait

[@steveclarke6257]

If its a video game gun for Ian, it going to be a select fire FAMAS F1 with the rail upgrade for his NVG optics, with a Laugo Alien as his side arm😊

[@combatpriest5878]

Can't wait for this!

[@kornsuwin]

hype

[@Collector123k]

Max Payne and John Marston 😄 0:33 " could you pass the jelly" like in that commercial "Polaner all fruit"

[@Pigness7]

A legendary crossover

[@Darilon12]

Ian's signature weapon? It's a Chauchat. But it's actually a Chinese mystery pistol where all stampings are the word Chauchat over and over again.

[@stevep7346]

Ian has legendary Chauchat skins on all his weapons.

[@jaskapenttila7644]

I might not watch it on christmas but im sure to watch it.

[@mkang85]

Hype!

[@jonmittlsteadt4297]

The crossover I both wanted, and needed

[@mostlymagical3220]

Oh I cannot wait for this

[@SticcyBRA]

I'm hyped up!!! 🤩

[@iamtiger8273]

this will be better than end game

[@jonathanferguson1211]

I can do this all day.

[@lord_yukiko]

Well, I sure am excited for this

[@mephestys2995]

Excellent.

[@pyeitme508]

Merry Xmas!

[@BruceForrest]

The crossover to rule them all...

[@alliwantisfinancialstabili7414]

Ooh this looks interesting, will definitely be looking forward to it

[@smellyvalley]

Hurry uppppppp

[@northislandguy]

Wow what a treat!! If I could throw a third person in this, I’d put Hickok45 wouldn’t that be something!!

[@Chaosrain112]

I am beyond excited for this collaboration! The only person(s) that'd make it even cooler would be Nicholas (Chieftain), Othias, and Mae. Maybe toss Ziga in there as well for more insanity. Podcast group of the CENTURY right there, on top of the Project Lightening gang being there too!

[@Tom_-]

that's not how you spell Administrative Results

[@simonquintrell8686]

It's always jam before cream! 😅

[@jackv8195]

Johnathan’s signature weapon would be the EM 2

[@RoyalArmouries]

Frowns in STG 44

[@discountdvd]

Merry Christmas everyone 🎉

[@mercAltiar]

Yasss

[@harryfaber]

But what are the guns mounted in the mid-upper turret of Santa's sleigh?

[@AlexanderWerner]

Jonathans weapon on a movie would be the StG44, the emotional support sturmgewehr

[@QuinnKallisti]

nice

[@gammalgubbestorstadshoodie9148]

Jonathan Ferguson movie signature weapon would be a Aliens 2 Colonial Marines fiction Pulse Rifle or in real world a American Thompson with severly shortened down pump shotgun as a mounted underslung grenade launcher!

[@WildBillCox13]

Heheh. Good on ya, m8s!

[@fredashura]

Yooo no way

[@boomstick762]

I've got a hoodie from the same place as Johnathans. Except mine has a cricket bat and Lion with a red bandana on it.

[@muffty1337]

aaaaargh i am so hyped :D why are there so many days left 'til the 20eth?! ^^

[@tda2806]

Critical mass almost achieved! Just add Othais and boom or perhaps add a moderator of Mae and Mark Novak and Christmas will last until Easter.

[@TheTrueNorth11]

My two favourite authors

[@bavarianbenkenobi7265]

Just for the meme: Something from Elbonia 😉

[@stephensmith4480]

Should be a good one 😜😜👍👍

[@pagancrew]

I hope it will include a review of the Royal Armouries gin.

[@MJPwales]

I’m not sure I can wait till the 20th for this video.

[@RoyalArmouries]

Early and exclusive access to the uncut version on History of Weapons and War www.weaponsandwar.tv ;)

[@richarddixon7276]

It's a shame Othias wasn't here . Then We'd have had the privilege of seeing all Three Wiremen.

[@solaireastora5394]

Gun Jesus and Museum Man together 😊😊😊😊

[@JesterDarrak]

Emotional Support Sturmgewehr, anyone?

[@HK94]

👍

[@Andy-xt3mh]

I want to say Ian would have a MR73 or Chauchat but he'd probably end up with a WWSD.

[@jopeteus]

Honestly, who puts cream before jam?

[@kieranellix3402]

Heathens, that's who.

[@justinmishler6758]

Chauchat

[@sleelofwpg688]

Cream and jam? Da fuk?

[@user-kz8tw4vj7z]

Gun Jesus Fortnite skin when

[@firstcynic92]

Jam before cream. Anything else is wrong. Fight me.

[@skyd8726]

Jam before cream. Anything else is just a barbaric insult to taste and intelligence!

[@ForgottenWeapons]

Jam is a solid and cream is a liquid. I don't understand how these things go together in any order. Am I making a fruit-dairy paste or something?

[@skyd8726]

@@ForgottenWeapons It is simply the order in which you put the jam onto the scone (1st!) and then place your cream on top of that. Welcome to nonsensical English culture... 😄

[@molochi]

But is it what we call cream cheese or are you pouring it over a scone? Lol.

[@dmpenfold4536]

​@@ForgottenWeaponsClotted Cream, really thick so that it's spreadable. Jam or cream first on a scone is a Cornwall vs Devon thing, daft rivalry between neighbours.

[@skyd8726]

@molochi definitely not "cream cheese" but whipped cream, which is thickened enough to be spreadable. "Clotted cream" is another option... which also starts another debate!

[@FeintMotion]

Can't wait to throw a Rhodie shaped present in the trash this Christmas

[@aaronmarko]

It's too early in the year to give Jonathan an embolysm over dumb guns ok

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Two yootoob guys that are firearms enthusiasts, in the same place at the same time, and neither one is an over-inflated gym rat with pointy tattoos and a tee shirt three sizes too small? This can't be real. What is this world coming to? 😂

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

The best time line?

[@7sq]

No "Shorts" ! unsub !!
