Firearms Expert Reacts To MORE Escape From Tarkov Guns
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the realistic weaponry of Escape From Tarkov, including the KRISS Vector submachine gun, the Mosin Nagant rifle, and the SIG MCX assault rifle.
Escape From Tarkov is a brutally realistic take on the first person shooter genre, and its fictional region of Norvinsk is full to the brim contemporary firearms like the MK-18 Mjölnir DMR, the FN FAL battle rifle, and the Dragunov sniper rifle.
In the above video, Jonathan Ferguson--a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries--breaks down the weapons of Escape From Tarkov, and compares their in-game depictions against their real-world counterparts.

You all wanted more Expert Reacts to Tarkov so here it is!
There are still loads of guns in Tarkov to talk about so if you want a third part, be sure to comment.
And if there are other games you'd like Jonathan to check out, be sure to leave those suggestions down below too!
Hey, maybe play it instead of checking its guns out?
@@das3610 that's not the point of the series my friend. Also, part 3 please!!!
@@PonkeyPoe Hey, who says he can’t check the guns out in real time? I think it would be fun to see
Ash-12, DVL, full auto glock, MP-7, RSASS, SR-25 ( shooting long range to show dropoff ) and the GL would be funny to see
Give him access to the game 😂
Fun fact for Jonathan concerning the Mosin missing the front sight post/aperture - That's a common form of trolling in the game. When you kill someone, you take the front sight off their mosin and keep it, then throw the gun in a bush. They'll (probably) get the gun back in insurance, and not notice anything is wrong with it until they go into a raid with it and there's no front sight.
The clip was them playing as a scav, which you usually get busted guns with. Also, take off the rear sight instead of the front sight, not having a front sight on a mosin in-game you can still be pretty accurate but a missing rear sight is going to mess them up completely.

*A lager maybe. Or a glass of water like you drink. But a pint of stout?*
He strikes me as the kind of professor that if you screw up you feel really ashamed of yourself for failing him.

yeah but you can't really mod anything unless you have a lot of money/parts. So he would still need to play.

"I'd be very interested to know, if you can blow your MCX up."
Nikita: WRITE THAT DOWN!
Can you imagine making the Kedr/VPO mistake with the MCX, and your gun just fucking explodes in your hands.
@@TuffMelon my luck would be 4 pmcs gear and I go to shoot a scav and kill myself with it.
imagine using that as a trap. just drop it on the gorund and then wait for someone to pick it up and try to use it
@@TuffMelon tell me more, what do you mean?
@@madswummelz902 Kedrs can load a 9x18mm PMM cartridge, but the game blocks from firing the gun because the gun is not suited to that high pressure round. You need a 9x18PMM SMG Klin to use that thing.
Similar issues with VPO/MCX. You can load a mag in, but if the round does not match your barrel (i.e. trying to fire 7.62x39 from .366VPO), game stops you from firing that thing.
"The original SVD is an 800m rifle..."
Oh, good thing the one in-game has a shorter barrel and a folding stock, then...
"... that means it could hit a target at 800m."
Oh, that makes a lot more sense...

Thanks for the unexpected giggle
Fuck sake mate! this comment had me howling for hours!
That had me rolling
I was always told it was an 800m rifle because the muzzle was 799m away
On a serious note. If any of you can get up to the Royal Armoury in Leeds when it's safe, do it. It's a brilliant museum and I can't wait to visit again.
ooo that'd be worth a trip across the pond
@@jrj3505 I'm with it ... but as a die hard American I've seen quite a bit of firearms
for it be cool to see how the historical culture varies from a subjugated nation to as I would say a free nation
Agreed it's absolutely brilliant there.
I remember going up to see the museum like 15+ years ago ... absolutely amazing place... They were doing jousting demonstrations in their specially built yard...
I managed to go a couple of years ago, made the trip down specifically to see it. It's genuinely a wonderful museum that has an incredible collection with brilliant discussion. If you're from anywhere in mainland Britain, I suggest making a special trip specifically to visit the museum. If you're from the British Isles or Ireland, I suggest spending a few days in Leeds regardless because it is a lovely city with plenty to do but make sure it's on your list of activities while you're there. If you're coming to England/The UK from abroad and want to stay away from the trap of just seeing the South East of England and London, I recommend looking at visiting the North of England if you can - but again - make the Royal Armouries a top priority!

His voice really nice to hear to for some reason.

sad tarkov shooter 3 noises
which game is this??
@@denizadak1196 Ye fukin serious?
Fun fact about the ak in this game, you can use it without a magazine if you remove the dust cover, instead you just put in a bullet directly into the chamber, pretty cool that they even added that
"The mosin seems to be only good at range with a scope and the assault rifles surely have the advantage" yeah he has never just been one tapped with a mini mosin in the face and lost his tier 5 kit. RIP
that is why you wear a helmet, and if you can a killa mask.
Never played tarkov, so I could very well be wrong on this. But this seems to be a more economy thing than an actual usability thing. A sporterized mosin (what I'm guessing your "mini mosin" is referring to), should be a very, very cheap rifle. Lets say $100. Where something like a Sig MCX kitted would be around $3,500-$5,000 depending on optics. If the mosin can even beat out the Sig 1 out of 10 times, that still makes it 3.5-5x more cost effective in a game where lives don't matter. From these kind of statements about people CQB'ing with a mosin, this seems to be the gist of the tarkov economy - where cost effectiveness of loadout is far more important than life (I presume if you die, you lose your loadout, and maybe some sort of minor after effect).
Where that's obviously not very realistic. I think what would make more sense, is if you die, you get perma-banned from the game. Of course, probably not fun from a game standpoint, but this I presume is why so many people are willing to CQB with a bolt action rifle, because death just doesn't matter beyond that one 15-30 minute session. Not because it's actually a good or even decent choice, but because it makes economic sense. In most games, and what I think Johnathan sees as the case in Tarkov as well, is that loadouts are not lost on round loss. So if you never lost that 5k MCX loadout when you do get popped by a sporterized mosin, do you really think sporterized mosins would be used as they are?
@@Cinjrak min mossin is not sportrised. İt is a mossin pistol. No but stock and ultra short barrel. Real stupid gun but it was used IRL. İmagin some one wipping out there concealed 7.62mm R Mosin from a jacket.
@@DrakyHRT Mosin with SNB negates class 6 armour my dude, literally 6/6 chance to pierce level 6 armour.
@@Andrewza1 That just makes it all the worse does it not? " İmagin some one wipping out there concealed 7.62mm R Mosin from a jacket." Yea, I can imagine that... and it sounds stupid as all hell. If rifle cartridges made sense in pistols, we would have pistols using rifle cartridges. But we don't, because... they don't. Yes, rifle cartridge pistols *do* exist, but they're kind of the rule 34 of firearms. If you can imagine it, someone has made it. But it makes even less sense outside of a game world. Thank you for clarifying what was being referred to, though it only makes the idea that much less practical.
“I imagine people are only using this at some distance”
LMAO
mmmm yes dorms and Mosin = perfect match for me
The mosin is definitely the best close quarters gun in the game
Yeah, they need to show him the Obrez... lol
Guess he never met Jeager..
The careless whisper is the perfect gun for him to see
Jonathan should definitely start a youtube channel where he plays games and talks about the guns in them
People, unite and make this comment be seen by Jonathan! I beg you
Yeah, also he could use the revenue to maintain the museum itself.
@@mifzalaqil5569 Ok, so there seems to be some confusion about the Royal Armouries museum. It is not solely run and operated by Jonathan, he is part of a large team of experts who maintain specific collections therein.
The donations all go to the Museum itself, not just the firearms section haha
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 Oooh ok, thank you for commenting that. I know the museum itself is not operated by Jonathan himself. I may have misinterpreted that
Honestly a gr8 idea. i dont know how much time he has on his hands to do this however. only time will tell
Yo, Battlestate get this man a gaming rig or at least a copy of the game.
Yes
PLEASE DO THIS! .-.
As for the "does your gun blow up if you use the wrong ammo" question, I would think it would just highlight the gun in red and disallow its use like when you accidentally load a mag with .366 TKM and load it into a 7.62 AK
Yes, more of Jonathan. Could watch that guy all day.
Can we please stop for a moment and appreciate all the rare ww1 weapons behind him? The Chauchat mle 1915, the villar perosa m1915, the Bergmann mp18, the Beretta m1918, the Winchester m1895 and of course, Jonathan awesome shirt!
That's the one reason i want him to review battlefield 1

I could listen to him talk about guns all day and I'm not even that interested in them aside from gaming. I greatly appreciate it when an expert is modest enough to admit it when he doesn't know something; it just goes to show that even people holding that much info still have something to learn.

Let this man play Hot Dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. He's mentioned VR here, so he'll probably be surprised by the amount of detail.
Would be such a treat to see Jonathan in VR and him geeking out with the guns
@@aimannafeez2881 I think this game would be great, but it would be hard to get him in VR. You really have to be in VR to feel the guns.
@@UyeGaming Do you realise how much money the Royal Armouries has? They could 100% put him in VR. They could afford developing their own VR system and they probably have a lot of the resources to as well.
I'd like to see Jonathan look over gameplay of Reciever. That game is entirely built on the mechanics of properly operating firearms.
Hard agree on that
Yeah that would be interesting!
After seeing Gman's review of those games, probably not.
dude hell yeah. receiver is such an overlooked game!!
Gotta love the golden dragunov behind him.
I swear to god when he was talking about the Saiga, and said "It fits the CQB requirement", I misheard it as "It fits the cheekibreeki" with a british twist.
If you put the wrong ammo in the gun goes red and won’t fire , you can do this with the air mags both 7,62 and .366 fit bit only fire in the right gun 👍
Same if you put 556 in the mcx

I think it would be cool if he looked at some VR stuff, like maybe Hot Dogs, Horseshoes, and Hand Grenades?
I think it would be unfair to judge a VR game because really if the guns are modeled and programmed well enough (which after 5 years, they definitely are), a lot more falls on the player to use the weapons realistically.
was just about to comment this after he said ''vr'', would be even better if we can get him to play some.
They acknowledged that they'll consider h3vr in the comments of the last tarkov video. Problem I see is there isn't enough silent commentary footage that will convey the amount of detail in h3vr, he probably won't find the detail due to lack of experience in h3vr, and because h3vr is such a niche game that I wouldnt expect the employees at game spot to help with conveying the details.
@@acedirt2346 We will try to make that happen...
even more incentive for him to get a gaming PC
Big respect to this guy. Comes across both knowledgeable in firearms and has video game experience.
As funny as it is to watch him react to the utterly bizarre weapons in video games such as the ones in TF2, the sight of him enjoying and praising a game for how detailed it is just hits really good.
Still so many firearms for him to look at in this game, still got the classics like the SKS and 1911 to the civilian version of the AK in
.366 TKM
or perhaps even the ADAR, MP5K-N, PP-19, and quite a few others.

BattleState Games painstakingly model every individual part of the firearms they add in game, even when you can't see them, so they know everything is as realistic as possible
They can't make collapsible stock on FAL actually collapse for more than a year now.
@Thomas Hockenberry with this approach they just leave it as it is - broken and silly.
Also gun models are outsourced and they can just order a new one, made properly.
Also a long time issue of AK stock not folding with rubber butpad on, and AK-47S under folder opening and closing trough drum mags.
@Thomas Hockenberry The dude’s talking out of his ass and shows when he tried bringing up “the long time issue.” Literally just making stuff up about the game development.
@@tsorevitch2409 Check to make sure it's the right stock on the FAL, also make sure there isn't a conflicting sight. A lot of sights now disable the ability to fold the gun. It's not something they plan to fix because it's not "broken". It's super inconvenient, having to take the PSO (for example) off of a gun to then fold it, though.
@@itsjustDog you can only mount optics on top rail and sidefolders do not conflict with sights mounted on top. as for PSO it actually block the ability to properly fold stocks on AKs.
Also they didn't make AR style buffer tubes foldeble on AKs, Eve if you set them on a folding (in real life) converter

Holy hell you are right! Also a more serious version of him haha
Bore Ragnarok, am I right guys?
I love Jonathan so much. He's such a down-to-earth kinda guy, very lovely hearing him talk ^.^
Both the UMP and the Kriss Vector were also made in 10mm, so IRL they've got increased distance and lethality over the .45 ACP versions.
A third episode would be amazing! There's soooo many more guns for him to explore!
12:58 I would love that ! Sadly it's separated as caliber version, in everygun. Like Kriss Vector 9mm and with .45 ACP exists as different weapon.
But since you have to load ammo manually and they use the same mags, can you load 300 blk into a 5.56 MCX even though they count as different guns?
@@code.name.sasquatch the game lets you load the magazine but you can't fire the gun with incorrect caliber ammo in it
@@code.name.sasquatch Well, seeing as they only have the MCX in .300 Blackout currently, you cannot do that. There is another weapon you can do it with though. The Vepr-136 shoots 7.62x39 while the Vepr-209 shoots .366. They take the same mags, so you have to make sure the right ammo is loaded, or the gun won't fire.
"any bolt action rifle is gonna put you at a disadvantage, unless you were some distance away" - Jaeger would like a word with you about quest design...
I really appreciate that you brought in a guy who seems really in his element talking about guns. Too many other people bring in “experts” that have no idea what they are talking about. Keep up the great work!! 👌
I just love hearing him Talk about how guns sound differently from each other
I would love a third part
(right now you can't change the barrel in the game for the mcx but BSG plans on adding that feature into the game)
Within the next year or so tarkov is supposed to get an update where depending on what parts you use with your gun it may affect weapon failure and jamming. It would be cool to see what he thinks about that
How about trying Hunt: Showdown?
The time-period is unique and the attention to detail there is nothing to gloss over.
@Charlie Duncan The base models in Hunt are all real, the modified versions are not necessarily realistic but most are plausible modifications.
@Charlie Duncan The only gun that I can think of as completely fake is the avtomat but other than that while they might not have the real life names they all have a real life comparison

This is amazing, i'd love to see more reactions to tarkov guns, but what i'd like even more is Jonathan trying the game a lil bit to have the "feeling" that the game gives you and get his opinion on it (not the feeling as in gameplay and skills, but the firing and gun moving feeling)
I used to work with Jonathan at the Armouries years back. Genuinely nice chap and really knows his stuff.
good
It would be great for him to look at Squad/Post Scriptum or Battlefield stuff
I think they are teasing a battlefield 1 episode, because of the guns in the background, the mp18, the Automatico, the french mg (I don’t remember the name)
@@tancrediagriesti8418 the chauchat was also there in several other videos of his though lol, also its in Battlefield V as well
What about beyond the wire?
Definitely want a 3rd tarkov episode!
he needs to see the odd side of the weapon customization like dvl no stock the short mosin or a bunch of other stupid gun designs
I really love these series with Mr. Ferguson, Special the Tarkov ones! hope there's more coming!
from my own experimentation with the PSO scope in tarkov, even the ranging tool on it seems to work properly. which is very impressive since few games even realize what the lower portion is for
I think battlefield 1 would be really cool lots of experimental cools there.
Judging by the "chuchat" (excuse my French) behind him, I think it might happen
@@yahyamusseb yeah the Chauchat also there's quite a few old bolt action rifles to the left of him so 🤷♂️
@@alexhicks6207 plus the Villar Perosa on top of the table to the right and the mp-18
I think it's the next episode because of the firearms behind him (Chauchat, MP-18, Automatico 1918, the Russian Lever Action Rifle, and others)
The issue with battlefield one is that the have all of these cool experimental guns in situations where they absolutely wouldn't have been in real life. It's one thing to say "oh cool they have experimental guns" but I feel like 90% of what he would have to say is that they're displayed incredibly unrealistically and in a really silly context.
Somebody give this man a gaming rig. I could listen to him all day 😁
I think that you should also review weapon jamming animations. In addition, in his own time I think he should see the gun stats menu (showing off ergonomics, hor. recoil, vert. recoil). He could view the machine gun and automatic grenade launcher emplacements on either the Customs map or Reserve. I also think maybe showing more varied enemies in footage; the content is likely done in offline mode, but I highly recommend showing bullet penetration power via engaging with scav bosses or their minions. Anyways, love your content hope Nikita blesses you!
I love hearing an expert talk about this great game in such detail. The SVDS does have some drop-off, pretty much the game feels like any round with 800+ m/ps muzzle velocity feels like it doesnt drop at a considerable distance, but once you drop down to 600-750 m/ps range you definitely have to aim a bit higher and lead shots more. the MCX (and the AKM/VPO KM) only have joint mags with the other caliber (so the MCX and M4 mags are the same with limitations of course) and the AKM 7.62x39 series weapons share the same mags with the .336 TKM rounds. The only real effect they have on the gun when feeding the incorrect ammo via the mags is the gun jams, forcing you to remove the bullet from the chamber. it would be cool to see some explosions though
Battlestate Games actually has most of the guns in the game hanging on a wall in the studio
Keep this series coming indefinitely please! Fascinating hearing Jonathan breakdown the guns we all know and love from gaming 💚
Jonathan just has that made-for-youtube wit, voice, and knowledge. Love these videos
I've been jumping around a lot in this series but the tarkov videos have been some of my favorites. After all the "horrors" Jonathan has seen it's nice that he gets to look at a game that clearly took a lot of care in making things as realistic as possible.
What a lovable guy, sure, I'ld like to see him review the rest of Tarkov's arsenal.
Great stuff as usual from Jonathan, easily my favourite videos on GS.
I also watched Jonathan's lecture on British Military Bullpups which I highly recommend for anyone interested in that.
He's got an entire book on the subject of British Military Bullpups, by the way.
@@F1ghteR41 Yeah I will need to order myself a copy.
Where does one find the video of the lecture?
@@PSNGormond Is it still in stock? I thought it was all bought up a long time ago. Good luck anyway!
Ayy, you guys even got some of the guns of the new patch in this like the Vector and the MCX. Very nice!
This is a great series. Props to whoever taught of starting it
"I'd spent most of the time in [the gun Smith] instead of shooting anything"
True
Continue to pay him for his time. Protect him at all cost. Gem.
Make a whole series of Jonathan reacting to all of Tarkov’s guns please! More of these!
I just wanna say that I love watching these videos with Jonathan Ferguson, he's a wonderful host.
I play tarkov, and I can’t go back to playing games like cod because of how unrealistic they are
Especially if we are talking about attachments, It just really bugs me that when you put a suppressor on your gun in cod you lose damage. Like wtf
I get the feeling, the satisfaction of each kill, the looting, the ballistics and the health system... once you go tarkov, you never go back..Also loved Anomaly
I think it's the thrill factor. You always have something to lose when you're dying, and even the very good player in the "lobby" can be taken out and you won't need to worry about them respawning and still just owning the match.
Also there's so many ways to actually play the game and still get a successful evac that it doesn't force you to do the same thing over and over.
id feel the same way but i switch between games like arma 3 (obviously not like EFT) but the main point is realism and games like mw just because i like to enjoy that arcade like shooting mechanics every once and a while
I think the reason for the damage malus is the implied use of subsonic rounds.
@@JohnDoe-zh6cp believe it or not, just because a certain type of ammo is subsonic, does not mean it does less damage
Jonathan is amazing to listen to, and his knowledge of firearms is awesome to be given to us
God I would LOVE to see him and Stu Brown of Ahoy do a video about firearms. I love his videos. They're like Animal Planet for guns in video games and other media.
Part 3 please and get this man a PC/copy of Tarkov stat. I'd enjoy watching him "fiddle" in the armory screen. Cheers!
As a gun nerd myself I love this guy. I spend alot of my tarkov time on the modding screen as well.
It is there to be used i enjoy it aswell
05:12 you know he is dangerous when he wears skull ring
Oh no, I'm not at all dangerous. But I do like skulls :)
@@jonathanferguson1211 lmao, the man himself in the comments section and no one seems to have noticed.
Keep up the good work, Jonathan! We love ya man, these vids are great to watch.
I have to say Jonathan just comes across as a **really** nice guy with a lot of firearms knowledge, and hearing him talk about his (our) passion like this with a cup of tea in my hand is just a really pleasant experience.
Good:) keep this format alive, cool vid
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam does a great picture of Buckshot
Sniping with the double barrel with its double shot function is real
@@isaacd4425 im more into the American Shotgun. Sniping with 8 round magazine
This guy is the coolest nerd who ever touched a gun
You just forgot to put "shitload of" between the "a" and "gun".
Yes, definitely we want more comments from an expert. Loved it
Gib part 3. You analyzing these guns is amazing
He even got the Lapua prononciation right :D
I don't know if you know this but his thing is kinda guns
i like calling it lah-puah just cus it sounds like a fancy french death bullet
I would absolutely watch a third Tarkov Video! I would also LOVE to see what Jonathan's reaction to Hunt: Showdown's guns would be. The game is from 1890's period, with a few videogame style gimme's for a cool gun outside of the period, but its representation of the weapons and cartridge types feels really good to me.
I would LOVE to see a 3rd Part about Tarkov. I love the series in general but so much Jonathan is fascinated by the details, i am fascinated by the details he explains. Some known, some unknown :D
I'd love to see a reaction on Receiver 2, which for me is the most precise gun simulation out there.
Gamespot should send him a gaming pc.
Agree
