The fact that automatic crossbows exists is scary (Found in tachanka trust files) Just imagine some random guy carrying a crossbow that's spitting enough arrows to make you feel like your storming the beaches of Normandy
As scary as machine guns... the only weakness is arrow bolts are much larger than bullets so at least they will have to reload or out of arrows sooner hopefully----
My take on why Terra hasn't developed gunpowder weapons isn't because Terra is technologically challenged in that area, but because of environmental and cultural reasons. 1. Terrans are physically stronger than humans, So they can make more powerful crossbows with pull weights that would not be practical on Earth, making guns less significant of a technological leap. 2. Most of Terran development is centered around mobile cities. Rural, agricultural communities are generally less developed, and as a result, do not have the industrial farming infrastructure we have. What does farming have to do with guns? Nitrate primers. Production of nitrate primers on Earth got a big boost when the Haber-Bosch process to fix atmospheric nitrogen was developed, a process that was invented to mass produce industrial fertilizer. 3. Originium poisoning. "Gunpowder" on Earth is mainly divided into black powder (older) and nitrocellulose formulations. Black powder wouldn't have the energy to cycle Rainbow 6's automatic weapons, but even disregarding that, the saltpeter on Terra is probably contaminated with Originium. As for nitrocellulose, barring chemical production of nitrogenated compounds (see point 2), one of the main sources for nitrocellulose on Earth in older days was guncotton. Just as with the rest of Terra, the plants in Arknights probably have a baseline level of Originium contamination. In both black powder and guncotton cases, concentrating and refining the raw ingredients and them igniting them as a fine powder would probably release a lot of Originium dust that would be dangerous to the user, essentially giving them Originium poisoning with prolonged use.
One extra point: As stated by the Russian Scientist in the R6S event, Terra has a very different periodic table than Earth, so there's a likelihood that the components required to make gunpowder simply doesn't exist on Terra. This is strengthened in the R6S operator files regarding their guns that mentions how Closure doesn't even know what nitrocellulose is
Another great video! I'd like to note more things in this comment - Franka's rapier was initially mentioned to have been made by Raythean in a stream, but this was voided and overall a short-lived idea. - Savage's hammer is actually considered to be a weird staff cosplaying as a hammer. Even Savage herself does not understand this. Even so, when we look at many of the Arts-boosted weapons, we could apply a similar logic? - Chainsaws are often thought of in media to act as a really dangerous weapon, but they're super impractical for such purpose in real use. If Terra successfully made chainsaws work to the point where even someone like Popukar can use them, then it's no wonder that the apex of rippers happen to be physically outstanding. - Crossbows. The staple of every ranged guy in Arknights. As you have mentioned, they come in varied shapes and sizes so the real determining factor of a good crossbow is how you use it. The crossbows used by the likes of Schwarz and Faust are built around brute strength (this also includes the big ones from the Sarkaz mercenaries, which may as well be ballistas at this point), while others may be noted for their rapid-fire, quick reloading or split-shooting (firing two or more bolts at the same time). According to a future event in Arknights (Vigilo), Columbia specializes around automatic crossbows (with the criminal background of Siracusan gangs, it's no wonder that they can get their hands on these). The premise around an automatic crossbow is simple: full-auto mechanisms and usually a big mag, unless the user can magically reload bolts fast enough (I imagine it must be very tiring depending on the rate). Furthermore, Columbia employs the same full-auto crossbows (if not bigger) onto armored vehicles and if something like a ballista turret can be made by someone with the military background of an insurgent movement, then a professional force can achieve so much more. Meteorite might be using something closely resembling a bowgun, but it is easy to imagine that bolts can be customized to feature a plethora of ammunition types, such as explosive or poisonous. - Firearms. Arguably the most difficult type to talk about, everyone should know they're not guns as we know guns. They're staves firing smaller staves, as both the guns and the bullets have casting units. While their individual requirement of affinity is small, the mental fortitude and focus required to properly handle a gun without any backfires is something that only the Sankta or individuals with the respective Arts training can provide. Grenade launchers, I suppose they do not tax so much on Arts affinity like guns do. We see people like Catapult and Sesa use them, the latter case actually managing to modify his weapon in order to make it even less taxing on his affinity. The renegade Sarkaz, W, can be seen with two weapons in her art (if we look at her bedroom set, she deposits multiple), but she exclusively uses explosives. As W is a Sarkaz, it's natural for her to have a pretty good affinity. Sadly, her level does not allow her to use guns so we cannot have Miss 6th AR. Oh yeah, if you were to bring a gun from Earth and compare it with a Terran parallel, Earth guns are individually stronger, but still weaker than bows and crossbows. * To attach something else in this paragraph, Sarkaz were particularly noted for their high affinity to Arts. We also learn that the Sankta are born with genius-level Arts. Could this be another connecting point to the ARSE theory where it's these species who have a generally high affinity towards Arts? - Honorable mentions: Absinthe, Jackie, and a couple more weapons that look like guns. Absinthe's case is simple - it's a revolver shaped staff with a casting unit. Why does it look like a revolver? I'd rather let you read her story. Jackie, the Perro brawler with a knack for punching - in her Operator profile, she is given a gun-shaped casting unit. It's useless for her beyond decoration, she just wants to punch people. Emperor's Li'l Homie (obviously based on the Desert Eagle) is in fact a cardboard slingshot customized to fire rubber bullets at a very high velocity. Andreana's "sniper rifle" (based on the Arctic Warfare) is in fact a crossbow firing inkballs (? or bolts with modified ammunition?) made to cosplay as a Laterano firearm. Why? Iberia's religion fanaticism. It might just be the Iberian step-up of Laterano's religion, but religious statues in such churches feature guns. Does that make guns a religious icon in this parallel portrayal of Catholicism? Yeah. Less exaggerated in the eyes of Laterano, I imagine. Overall, this video has done a great job in informing lore enthusiasts and casual players alike how your individual Terran uses weapons, and I'm looking forward to see your video regarding warfare as a whole. Stay awesome.
When on Earth saint items are holy water, crosses and a bible, on Terra Laterano saints rock Dragunovs and M16s I now wonder why terran guns have triggers if they are basically staffs that only need arts response from the user? Another thing that I discussed with my friends is how did Adreana managed to create such high damage replica without the prod sticking out
I'd like to point out that W's rifle isnt exactly her's. It belonged to the previous W. There is a big chance she doesnt know how to use it and only carries it for the spiritual meaning.
Wait, how are earth guns weaker than AK bows and crosbows? The lore tells us that they wwould have the same effect as gun inside 100 m but beyond that I imagine the power falls of.
This is why the Doctor is not yet playable despite playing with the pistols of Ash and the others in secrets... The ammunition they have to do in Terra must be complicated to produce
Fairly easily, the powders easier than most think and the casings can be made or even reused with fairly simple machinery. The most troublesome part would be the primer but people going diy on those isn't unheard of.
To be fair, Gunpowder was also considered "Magic" until people researched on it and developed the Science behind it. Arknights only takes this "Magic" idea to a logical extreme, and we have Terra Guns, which are literally Magically powered. Also, Sesa is best boi
and that "magic" can backfire to users by causing Originium infected if firearms go wrong or misused. Maybe that why firearms is not only expensive, it risky for user too.
The gun-wielder I'm most curious about is May. Most operators seem to treat her as somewhat of a joke, but she's able to wield a pistol without the backing of a major corporation. Her profile also states she doesn't have much combat experience (0.5 years). This makes her somewhat of an outlier.
that actually makes me wonder why guns aren't dealing arts damage? I mean, the bullet from a gun would be propably stronger than crossbow bolt even if it don't work the same way and since bullet is arts based anyway this shouldn't be a problem to make bullet itself inflict arts damage
Probably the reason why we haven't seen a real Terran, fully-automatic machinegun (yet). Also, Imagine how expensive it is for Penguin Logistics every time Exusiai gets too trigger-happy 🤯
The crossbows and bows used in Arknights was known to have much stronger bowstrings. R6S event did mention that Tachanka barely fully pull Ranger's bow's string. It makes sense that most crossbows and bows used in Arknights are exceedingly more powerful due to the increased bowstring strength that can generate more force. As for the reason why gunpowder is never invented, chemical difference is the indeed the biggest key to whether it can be achieved or not. Still, the "gunpowder" we normally associated with are actually smokeless powder. While black powder is used since 11th or 13th century, smokeless powder is only discovered in 1847 and then perfected in 1884. Roughly 700 to 500 years later. I would say even if they discovered black powder, they will still use Arts-based explosive since they are already in use and much stronger or just use crossbows and bows since they deliver the same result. Unless they manage to jump right into smokeless powder, the chance of black powder finding interests will be low. Or, Laterano had put on a gag order on any research on firearm-related field. Probably the latter. A footnote for the guns we see used by operators we recruited (or at least based on weapons we know in real life) excluding R6S operators: Ambriel = Lee-Enfield No. Mk. 1 rifle as basic with M1917 Enfield and L42A1 parts and a modified magazine. Catapult = M320 grenade launcher Executor = Winchester Model 1887 shotgun Exusiai = KRISS Vector SMG (.45ACP or 9mm? IDK), pimped M4A1 with a Daniel Defense handguard (probably) in E2 Jessica = Berretta M9 pistol, Glock 17 SAI pistol (very gucci) Liskarm = Glock 17(?) pistol (no way knowing exact Glock model) Franka = Glock 19(?) pistol (no way knowing exact Glock model) W = MK18 carbine, grenade launcher based off from RG-6 grenade launcher Andreana = Crossbow based off from Accuracy International AW Jackie = Unknown due to hidden in holster but probably based off from C96 pistol Tell me if I miss anything. Curious about what guns that based off in real life appeared in Arknights.
Did everyone remember how a late teenager Kuranta like Catapult can use real grenade launcher despite neither a Sankta nor a member of Blacksteel? I think since she got infection, she got arts focus training and she realized her arts are powerful enough that she able to launch grenade launcher.
Meanwhile me over here wishes for an operator like Skadi the 'whatever it was' except showing the beast as it's character rather than the beast taking a humanoid form. It would be interesting to think a large creature just walking around the ship on four, filling up the corridors and such.
Anything sharp and stabby is straightforward they cut and stab sometimes with arts. Bows and Crossbows are Bows and Crossbows depending on the race the draw weight can vary to have more power. Guns are built different to accommodate their ammo. Ammo for these guns are essentially miniature wands or staves which takes arts and a lot of practice to get it to discharge. The R6 team's guns which are regular earth guns now use specialized munitions with originium dust as a substitute for modern smokeless powder used in modern cartridges although it has less power don't be mistaken it can still blow a hole into someone's head. At least the r6 gang has a supply of munitions now for their journey around Terra.
"I want to make a video on how warfare works in Arknights" Me who likes Military History: Yes, that, I like, PREPARE FOR AN OFFENSIVE BOYS, BERLIN BY CHRISTMAS
i like to imagine that its like the untied states, only instead of freedom of speech, its freedom to own guns, but like a car you need a license to use it cause we got angel boy Adnachiel saying he still has to pass his exams to shoot guns
"Guns are Staves with extra steps" has the same energy as Destiny's "A sword is a wand that casts two spells; parry and cut." I remember thinking about the idea of weapons that are designed to inflict oripathy, like a blade coated in originium powder (similar to a sharpening steel coated in diamond dust) so you'd be liable to contract acute oripathy if you got cut but managed to escape alive, since infected tend to be cast out by their peers so it'd be an effective way to break a person's social/ political standing as a plan b for a failed assassination, but apparently a very sizable number of weapons already are made of originium so I wonder if that's already a common thing in Terra.
A very interesting vid. I'm still anxiously waiting on Hypergryph to someday release an operator (most likely a Sankta) using an M107A1 anti material rifle (Barrett 50.)
@@D4rkn3ss2000 Lol perhaps, but taking into mind what Qaiser and Rangers mentioned about bows and crossbows in the story, going from how Schwarz's ability works, it would not be to much of a stretch to assume her weapon would be almost if not just as lethal.
That thing probably weaker than it counter-part of earth And the Bullet Arts Casing need to be bigger and more Originium inside it So it's gonna be so expensive
Oh thanks for reminding me that Ch'en Alter exists and water can damage foes better than a sword without proper application of force and exit pressure.
oh, terra guns are lighter? Guess that made sense since our firearms are heavy due to the need for us to have heavy protection around the chamber to withstand the force from the ignition of the rounds
If guns work like a casting unit, then it's not too far off for Columbia (America) in alliance with Laterano to make railguns out of Originium Arts, and it technically is a magical railgun once you learn the basics of the crystal For all I know, if there's a Sankta that is physically buffed and is good with Arts, some things like the railgun or heavier machine guns like the ones Heavy has from TF2 is not too far off, and it would be one of the most overpowered units in lore
@@lapplandkun9273 oh goodness especially during the Chongyue event where Wei Yenwu revealed that Chen S3 isn't actually the Chi Xiao's strongest move So Chen is just a weeb confirmed
My guess why they haven't invented gunpowder is quite simple. They can't. In the rainbow six event, someone said terra has different chemistry so arknights' universe maybe missing an essential element for gunpowder(how that works I have no idea, it's literally sulphur, potassium, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon, all of which normal humans aka. team rainbow needs to survive), or those elements don't react in a way that would form gunpowder (only way to find out is if we know that element A reacts with element B on earth in a specific way, we bring those elements to Terra and try that reaction again)(but we do know that those elements react the same way as on Earth to form gunpowder because team rainbow was able to fire their guns; if Terra's laws don't allow the formation of gunpowder, team rainbow's guns wouldn't be able to fire those bullets because as soon as they crossed over from Earth to Terra, the bullets are now unreactive chemicals encased in brass.) I hope the devs come up with good lore about this and not just wave their hand and say "It's magic (or arts)". To anyone who read this, sorry you had to read my ramblings lol.
As Doktah's sanity drop to 0 he begin to mumble something no one can hear clearly, go into his room and when he comes out he wears weird looking armor with weapons no one has seen or knew how they work-what kind of ammunitions those weapons use and they are called: M32 rotary grenade launcher-RPG7-AK47-Double barrels shotgun-Holy shotgun with drum mag-Katana and a knife. Everyone is shocked and scared as Doktah rampaging through the battlefield they can only hear 3 words: Rip and Tear.
Apparently, the formula that makes gunpowder doesn't exist in Terra, that's why no gunpowder based guns exist in Terra(Aside from Team Rainbow but their from earth.).
then there's also Rosa who's harpoon gun seemingly works using pressure and Pinecone who's nailgun is... electric? idk, the sfx seems to imply that it's also using pressure but she carries around a big battery
This is the thing that drives me crazy about the world building... how do the guns work? Like sure they use originium arts yadda yadda, but how do automatic guns cycle? Is there a detonation that propels the bullet and provides the gas/recoil that operates it, or do they actually have an arts based mechanism to operate the bolt? How do the triggers work?
Some wield swords, some use knives, some use axes or hammers, and then some (like Cutter) uses... literal Box cutters... Oh so that's why her codename is Cutter
i have a arknights theory: What if terra is just a future version of earth after Humanity destroyed it's self earth recovered and a new era began consisting of different humanoid species like our operators where some surviving humans evolved to survive the environment which is why we have cat girls, drug doggo girls and some even dragon girls. And thats why the countries in terra looks similar to ours, after earth got detroyed, the tectonic plates sperated once again.
You know if they used their arts to detonate the ammunition instead of a hammer and primer, but retaining whatever operation they use for cycling rounds- they would be a lot closer to being somewhat combat efficient
@@Avarice0918 Yeah, hopefully they figure out how combat works. No fucking idea how Kal'pog got the impression that teens wielding chainsaws amd patato launchers and girls that can blow shit up with their mind are considered "precise" in comparison to, Oh I don't know- 9x39, 5.56x45, .45ACP, 9x18m, 5.45x39t, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, 7.62x54r, .50BMG, .300AAC, 7.62x25, 9x19, .458, .224Val, 6.5x39, .408CT, .308Wi, .338L, 7.92x57M, 5.7x28FN and 4.6x30HK just ti name a few. Literally any ONE of these rounds and some decent training is all anyone needs.
@@RyuusanFT86 Kalstit is worried about standardizing these types of arms and munitions which is why it's limited to the r6 ops for fear of everyone getting their hands on these types of munitions and reverse engineering it since they have a certain process to making them and earth guns differ from terran guns since they are heavier and have different internals so only the r6 gang could utilize them but still she doesn't want them to get out cause it could trigger something with the laterano people. These children with chainsaws and "potato launchers" have a different biology which allows them to fight differently and they are most familiar their mode of combat like W she could use terran guns and has training with them but she prefers using explosives for ranged and a knife melee.
@@Avarice0918 Fair point with the first half, but biology has nothing to do with the fact there's nothing stealthy or precise about power tools and explosions. Peiod. Melee isn't practical for thorough and efficient combat, that's why guns exist now.
@@RyuusanFT86 true but you never know with enemies like the emperor's blade or patriot I don't think guns are enough to deal with them maybe some ops like skadi who can can literally cleave a mountain in half or rosmontis who is canonically invulnerable to ranged atracks are best fit to fight certain enemies due to their speed, defense and/or raw power.
Unless there are some limitations, Earth wins it pretty easy. Even though terra has some fantastical tech like 3d printing gold. Their tech that is crucial for war is pretty bad.Throught the game it is hinted that long distance communication is limited, they apparently dont have radars and the air force desnt exist beyond few experimental osprey like craft that only rhodes island seem to have, armored vehicles dont exist beyond APC. And it appear that tgeir main way of waging war is using landships. For terran standards, they are awesome weapons of war, for Earth standards, they are sitting ducks waiting to get fed by artillery, missiles and bombs . in fact I can say that an average 2nd world nation could easily 1v1 the major powers of terra.
Earth. Every earth personel have gun. And heavy vehicle like tanks and plane The only advantage terra have over earth is Arts. Where they can use magic to create all sort of stuff. But its still not enough to fight earth weaponary
Although terra has all these advanced looking tech earth would win due to our tech tree points essentially being spent on war and our vehicles and comms are basically more usable in war compared to terra
Earth wins because gunpowder > originium, Plus, they aren't as advanced as our warfare due to communication and treating guns as heavenly weapons unlike ours that can take out multiple targets (See Ash in R6) They don't have jet fighters, and they only have deployable mobile cities that can be bombarded easily with tanks and artillery And us humans cannot have an Originium exposure unlike that of Terra's, as evident by the OD event where they literally are in there for 6 months and tachanka has a fucking originium slug running around
Laterano and Iberia are not the only ones that give weapons spiritual meaning. The sarkaz of Kazdel, being a warrior race, seem to have a culture sorrounding weapons and names as seen in Darknights Memoir and Flamebringer in his short story. In Sarkaz culture, to take another Sarkaz's weapon after their death is to take their name and their place. W's rifle, which she never uses, belonged to the previous W and at the end of Darknights Memoir, she sees a kid with a sarkaz sword and asks him if he knows what that means. In a sense, low class sarkaz of kazdel have no name but that of their weapon (side effects of growing up in a war torn country). I seem to recall W and Theresa talking about that when Theresa asks her name. Mudrock squad can also be seen using hammers similar to that of their leader's but the reason is mostly up in the air. Even Columbia sarkaz like Vigna take pride in mastering complicated weaponry and techniques. Also, you'll notice many sarkaz mercenaries use nicknames to talk to one another. One of Mudrock's squad was literally called Chef. Apparently, saying your name outloud to another sarkaz can be interpreted as a challenge. Lastly sarkaz mercenaries often take the guns of laterano people they kill (mostly sankta) as trophies even if they can't use them. I imagine, to them, its almost as insulting as taking an enemy's dog tag would be to us. You know that weapons rack of W's room? Each one of those belonged to someone she's killed...
@@utoro5 True. The difference between sarkaz witchcraft and arts is also a very interesting topic. There is a constant distinction between arts, which are almost a science and magic like what Nian and Dusk can do. Mudrock's powers seem to be in the magical end of the spectrum according to the lore.
The last statement is correct. A furniture from Darknight Memoir has a rack of rifles (notable AR-15 variants) that has description about Sarkaz like to take weapons from fallen Laterano people.
@@axios4702 I'm guessing arts is a more combat practical thing like mana and magic while witchcraft I guess would be a ritual of sorts for a big effect or impact
My lad Qaiser,been loving your vids im curious,what if an operator used flechette rounds,the rounds possesess higher velocity and penetration how well will it fare against enemies
Isn't there airguns/ pneumatic weapons and flechette/needle guns and such? I've seen a few operator's use weaponized nailguns or gun like weapons , hung in one of his animations has a pneumatic pistol I think ?
I mean... our world isn't bothered by catasrophes on daily basis, people aren't forced into moving cities to have a glympse on the normal life, and the world isn't being devoured by a rock-cancer diesese and let's not forget that despite stuff like guns and magic most people still fight in a medieval fashion "hit them with mah sword" we didn't yet seen usage of originum arts in a full scale warfare by a normal caster, but it would take much more than one or two boss-power-level characters to rival the earth military arsenal, and sure these bows and crossbows might be strong, but i would suppouse that rifle round that don't need wizzard to use would still be stronger
Wait, so do all the guns need Arts to use? I assume the Rainbow 6 characters have regular firearms, but what about Exusiai who uses a Vector SMG, another real life gun? Did she steal it from the real world or did they invent an Arts version of it in Terra lol
Serious note, if you applied the star wars lore to arknights then the lightsaber is pretty much an unstoppable weapon, as arknights wouldn't have the type of materials to resist lightsabers, such as phyrik, beskar, or cortosis
If the rainbow 6 collab is cannon and there still using there firearm who supplying the bullets ? Either W making for them . Or sasa has modified there guns maybe similar to what happen bliz shield and put a originium battery to allow them to bullets from Terra . I really want to know now
Iir the RI research department made the r6 team ammo that uses originium dust as a propellant which has less power than modern smokeless powder munitions but still strong enough to blow a hole through someones head.
I doubt most country have it. Rhodes island aircraft is the only aerial vehicle we saw in arknights. And rhodes island able to get the aircraft because they found it along with rhodes island landship when it was dug up and fix it. Other country could maybe already invented it but never show it. But yeah so far there is no confirmation if other aircraft exist other than the one rhodes island have Just like how chen or the reunion are confused when they saw the rhodes island aircraft for the first time.
Infected gain more affinity and power in using arts and for the road iir the discrimination is basically because when infected die they go out like a biochemical explosive if not handled correctly which can infect everyone in a radius so essentially they are biochemical bombs and non infected are scared of that

*LAUGHS IN RAILGUN RIFLE*
My take on why Terra hasn't developed gunpowder weapons isn't because Terra is technologically challenged in that area, but because of environmental and cultural reasons.
1. Terrans are physically stronger than humans, So they can make more powerful crossbows with pull weights that would not be practical on Earth, making guns less significant of a technological leap.
2. Most of Terran development is centered around mobile cities. Rural, agricultural communities are generally less developed, and as a result, do not have the industrial farming infrastructure we have. What does farming have to do with guns? Nitrate primers. Production of nitrate primers on Earth got a big boost when the Haber-Bosch process to fix atmospheric nitrogen was developed, a process that was invented to mass produce industrial fertilizer.

As for nitrocellulose, barring chemical production of nitrogenated compounds (see point 2), one of the main sources for nitrocellulose on Earth in older days was guncotton. Just as with the rest of Terra, the plants in Arknights probably have a baseline level of Originium contamination. In both black powder and guncotton cases, concentrating and refining the raw ingredients and them igniting them as a fine powder would probably release a lot of Originium dust that would be dangerous to the user, essentially giving them Originium poisoning with prolonged use.

Andreana's "sniper rifle" (based on the Arctic Warfare) is in fact a crossbow firing inkballs (? or bolts with modified ammunition?) made to cosplay as a Laterano firearm. Why? Iberia's religion fanaticism. It might just be the Iberian step-up of Laterano's religion, but religious statues in such churches feature guns. Does that make guns a religious icon in this parallel portrayal of Catholicism? Yeah. Less exaggerated in the eyes of Laterano, I imagine.
Overall, this video has done a great job in informing lore enthusiasts and casual players alike how your individual Terran uses weapons, and I'm looking forward to see your video regarding warfare as a whole.
Stay awesome.
When on Earth saint items are holy water, crosses and a bible, on Terra Laterano saints rock Dragunovs and M16s
I now wonder why terran guns have triggers if they are basically staffs that only need arts response from the user? Another thing that I discussed with my friends is how did Adreana managed to create such high damage replica without the prod sticking out
>Stay awesome
You too my dude, thanks so much for the input of your comment, I agree with pretty much everything
I'd like to point out that W's rifle isnt exactly her's. It belonged to the previous W. There is a big chance she doesnt know how to use it and only carries it for the spiritual meaning.
Wait, how are earth guns weaker than AK bows and crosbows? The lore tells us that they wwould have the same effect as gun inside 100 m but beyond that I imagine the power falls of.
This is why the Doctor is not yet playable despite playing with the pistols of Ash and the others in secrets...
The ammunition they have to do in Terra must be complicated to produce
Indeed, sanity is hard to produce in such a hardship-ridden world.
I always thought that the doctor can use arts because of how many originium slugs he has consumed
Ammo in Terra is more expensive than the ammo in the US lol
Nani
Fairly easily, the powders easier than most think and the casings can be made or even reused with fairly simple machinery. The most troublesome part would be the primer but people going diy on those isn't unheard of.
To be fair, Gunpowder was also considered "Magic" until people researched on it and developed the Science behind it. Arknights only takes this "Magic" idea to a logical extreme, and we have Terra Guns, which are literally Magically powered.
Also, Sesa is best boi
and that "magic" can backfire to users by causing Originium infected if firearms go wrong or misused.
Maybe that why firearms is not only expensive, it risky for user too.
Since greatsword, prosthetic arm and automatic crossbow all coexist in AK, we will probably have a Guts cosplay in future chapter.
AoE Guard Pog?
i just want to see the reaction of a sankta when they see an anti materiel rifle casually punch a hole through a building 1 kilometer out
the answer is messy and im just gonna leave it at that
The gun-wielder I'm most curious about is May. Most operators seem to treat her as somewhat of a joke, but she's able to wield a pistol without the backing of a major corporation. Her profile also states she doesn't have much combat experience (0.5 years). This makes her somewhat of an outlier.
It's a taser, not a pistol
@@tortoise-chan but it still looks like a pistol , which is cool
@@tortoise-chan so, it's auto-loader semi-auto Taser?
Snipers that use gun in Arknights are just casters that deal physical damage.
that actually makes me wonder why guns aren't dealing arts damage?
I mean, the bullet from a gun would be propably stronger than crossbow bolt even if it don't work the same way
and since bullet is arts based anyway this shouldn't be a problem to make bullet itself inflict arts damage
The ammo for guns sounds insanely expensive 🤔
You’re right, the amount of effort that goes into every Bullet also must be insane... really makes you wonder what kind of a society the Laterano are
It costs 400 000LMD to fire this weapon for 12 seconds
Now i understand the Jessica memes
Probably the reason why we haven't seen a real Terran, fully-automatic machinegun (yet).
Also, Imagine how expensive it is for Penguin Logistics every time Exusiai gets too trigger-happy 🤯
At least the ammo for the r6 team doesn't seem to be too expensive
The crossbows and bows used in Arknights was known to have much stronger bowstrings. R6S event did mention that Tachanka barely fully pull Ranger's bow's string. It makes sense that most crossbows and bows used in Arknights are exceedingly more powerful due to the increased bowstring strength that can generate more force.
As for the reason why gunpowder is never invented, chemical difference is the indeed the biggest key to whether it can be achieved or not. Still, the "gunpowder" we normally associated with are actually smokeless powder. While black powder is used since 11th or 13th century, smokeless powder is only discovered in 1847 and then perfected in 1884. Roughly 700 to 500 years later. I would say even if they discovered black powder, they will still use Arts-based explosive since they are already in use and much stronger or just use crossbows and bows since they deliver the same result. Unless they manage to jump right into smokeless powder, the chance of black powder finding interests will be low. Or, Laterano had put on a gag order on any research on firearm-related field. Probably the latter.
A footnote for the guns we see used by operators we recruited (or at least based on weapons we know in real life) excluding R6S operators:
Ambriel = Lee-Enfield No. Mk. 1 rifle as basic with M1917 Enfield and L42A1 parts and a modified magazine.
Catapult = M320 grenade launcher
Executor = Winchester Model 1887 shotgun
Exusiai = KRISS Vector SMG (.45ACP or 9mm? IDK), pimped M4A1 with a Daniel Defense handguard (probably) in E2
Jessica = Berretta M9 pistol, Glock 17 SAI pistol (very gucci)
Liskarm = Glock 17(?) pistol (no way knowing exact Glock model)
Franka = Glock 19(?) pistol (no way knowing exact Glock model)
W = MK18 carbine, grenade launcher based off from RG-6 grenade launcher
Andreana = Crossbow based off from Accuracy International AW
Jackie = Unknown due to hidden in holster but probably based off from C96 pistol
Tell me if I miss anything. Curious about what guns that based off in real life appeared in Arknights.
What about Sesa?
Damn..what a great gun fanatic
Every time I see someone like big bob I instantly remember big coc and it makes me laugh
Did everyone remember how a late teenager Kuranta like Catapult can use real grenade launcher despite neither a Sankta nor a member of Blacksteel?
I think since she got infection, she got arts focus training and she realized her arts are powerful enough that she able to launch grenade launcher.
I would love to see an operator or unit use blow darts
Meanwhile me over here wishes for an operator like Skadi the 'whatever it was' except showing the beast as it's character rather than the beast taking a humanoid form. It would be interesting to think a large creature just walking around the ship on four, filling up the corridors and such.
Anything sharp and stabby is straightforward they cut and stab sometimes with arts.
Bows and Crossbows are Bows and Crossbows depending on the race the draw weight can vary to have more power.
Guns are built different to accommodate their ammo. Ammo for these guns are essentially miniature wands or staves which takes arts and a lot of practice to get it to discharge.
The R6 team's guns which are regular earth guns now use specialized munitions with originium dust as a substitute for modern smokeless powder used in modern cartridges although it has less power don't be mistaken it can still blow a hole into someone's head. At least the r6 gang has a supply of munitions now for their journey around Terra.

Oh firearms, once again HG is just teasing its players by not giving us a story about what Laterano is and how its society and governance works.
i like to imagine that its like the untied states, only instead of freedom of speech, its freedom to own guns, but like a car you need a license to use it cause we got angel boy Adnachiel saying he still has to pass his exams to shoot guns

_Fisting weapons are quite interesting._
- QaiserMLG, 2021.
"Guns are Staves with extra steps" has the same energy as Destiny's "A sword is a wand that casts two spells; parry and cut."
I remember thinking about the idea of weapons that are designed to inflict oripathy, like a blade coated in originium powder (similar to a sharpening steel coated in diamond dust) so you'd be liable to contract acute oripathy if you got cut but managed to escape alive, since infected tend to be cast out by their peers so it'd be an effective way to break a person's social/ political standing as a plan b for a failed assassination, but apparently a very sizable number of weapons already are made of originium so I wonder if that's already a common thing in Terra.
Qaiser: "Let's talk about the non-melee weapo-"
*Genshin Adds: "Hello."*
I know how Rosa's weapon works. It works occasionally. ;-)
A very interesting vid. I'm still anxiously waiting on Hypergryph to someday release an operator (most likely a Sankta) using an M107A1 anti material rifle (Barrett 50.)
That would make Schwarz's mega crossbow look like a pea shooter
@@D4rkn3ss2000 Lol perhaps, but taking into mind what Qaiser and Rangers mentioned about bows and crossbows in the story, going from how Schwarz's ability works, it would not be to much of a stretch to assume her weapon would be almost if not just as lethal.
That thing probably weaker than it counter-part of earth
And the Bullet Arts Casing need to be bigger and more Originium inside it
So it's gonna be so expensive
Oh thanks for reminding me that Ch'en Alter exists and water can damage foes better than a sword without proper application of force and exit pressure.
"Guns are Staffs, with Extra Steps"
if you can't beat them with stick, just use guns!
"Big bobs" sounded completely different when having the video on the background without image
oh, terra guns are lighter?
Guess that made sense since our firearms are heavy due to the need for us to have heavy protection around the chamber to withstand the force from the ignition of the rounds
If guns work like a casting unit, then it's not too far off for Columbia (America) in alliance with Laterano to make railguns out of Originium Arts, and it technically is a magical railgun once you learn the basics of the crystal
For all I know, if there's a Sankta that is physically buffed and is good with Arts, some things like the railgun or heavier machine guns like the ones Heavy has from TF2 is not too far off, and it would be one of the most overpowered units in lore
Love the little jump you did with the subtitles in the beginning! Getting better!
I'm way more curious about Folinic 's haramcists"device" and the Chi Xiao and Ying Xiao

Fun Fact: Andreana's "sniper rifle" is not a weapon. In fact, It's a crossbow. It does not shoot bullets or even arrows.
oh a arknights lore channel.
i joined fairly recently and RUclips sent me your way, hope to stick around and enjoy the content you make :)
I love those whiterun guards reference
"curve... sword"
Next 6 star: Took a fuck ton of acid containing Originium and now melts dudes on the battlefield
The Zerg school of firearms I see
My guess why they haven't invented gunpowder is quite simple.
They can't.
In the rainbow six event, someone said terra has different chemistry so arknights' universe maybe missing an essential element for gunpowder(how that works I have no idea, it's literally sulphur, potassium, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon, all of which normal humans aka. team rainbow needs to survive),
or those elements don't react in a way that would form gunpowder (only way to find out is if we know that element A reacts with element B on earth in a specific way, we bring those elements to Terra and try that reaction again)(but we do know that those elements react the same way as on Earth to form gunpowder because team rainbow was able to fire their guns; if Terra's laws don't allow the formation of gunpowder, team rainbow's guns wouldn't be able to fire those bullets because as soon as they crossed over from Earth to Terra, the bullets are now unreactive chemicals encased in brass.)
I hope the devs come up with good lore about this and not just wave their hand and say "It's magic (or arts)".
To anyone who read this, sorry you had to read my ramblings lol.
According to OD-ST-1, the bullet from Earth is still functional in Terra
Great video as always.
And also that's an interesting way to pronouns my name.

As Doktah's sanity drop to 0 he begin to mumble something no one can hear clearly, go into his room and when he comes out he wears weird looking armor with weapons no one has seen or knew how they work-what kind of ammunitions those weapons use and they are called:
M32 rotary grenade launcher-RPG7-AK47-Double barrels shotgun-Holy shotgun with drum mag-Katana and a knife.
Everyone is shocked and scared as Doktah rampaging through the battlefield they can only hear 3 words: Rip and Tear.

Still waiting for the rock sling operator. A Santa named David. Kek.
Apparently, the formula that makes gunpowder doesn't exist in Terra, that's why no gunpowder based guns exist in Terra(Aside from Team Rainbow but their from earth.).
then there's also Rosa who's harpoon gun seemingly works using pressure and Pinecone who's nailgun is... electric?
idk, the sfx seems to imply that it's also using pressure but she carries around a big battery
air compressor that's powered via battery
I see no mention of ceobe and her truckload of weapons
Weren’t there rocket launchers aswell in terra?(I remember Tomimi using that to take out the plane the doctor and gavial was in)
"curved swords" man im likin this vid already becuz of that skyrim reference
I don't know if I'm just really dirty minded or QaiserMLG is just good on using words
This is the thing that drives me crazy about the world building... how do the guns work? Like sure they use originium arts yadda yadda, but how do automatic guns cycle? Is there a detonation that propels the bullet and provides the gas/recoil that operates it, or do they actually have an arts based mechanism to operate the bolt? How do the triggers work?
Great video, I can’t wait till you talk about staffs and wands and originium in general
Some wield swords, some use knives, some use axes or hammers, and then some (like Cutter) uses... literal Box cutters... Oh so that's why her codename is Cutter
Well, we do also know that artillery and mortars also exist and are relatively common.
Fun fact: Iberian churches have statues of guns
Sad fact: America does not have statues of guns across America
i have a arknights theory: What if terra is just a future version of earth after Humanity destroyed it's self earth recovered and a new era began consisting of different humanoid species like our operators where some surviving humans evolved to survive the environment which is why we have cat girls, drug doggo girls and some even dragon girls. And thats why the countries in terra looks similar to ours, after earth got detroyed, the tectonic plates sperated once again.
Keep up with the good content :)), enjoying the daily/weekly videos
Been waiting for this one
I LOVE ARKNIGHTS!
Thanks for the Intel bro!
*knock knock*
Good morning mister Qaiser, may take a moment of your time to inform you about our tomboy and raifu, Exsusiai?
You know if they used their arts to detonate the ammunition instead of a hammer and primer, but retaining whatever operation they use for cycling rounds- they would be a lot closer to being somewhat combat efficient
The RI research department made ammo that uses originium dust for the r6 team so they're getting close
@@Avarice0918 Yeah, hopefully they figure out how combat works. No fucking idea how Kal'pog got the impression that teens wielding chainsaws amd patato launchers and girls that can blow shit up with their mind are considered "precise" in comparison to, Oh I don't know- 9x39, 5.56x45, .45ACP, 9x18m, 5.45x39t, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, 7.62x54r, .50BMG, .300AAC, 7.62x25, 9x19, .458, .224Val, 6.5x39, .408CT, .308Wi, .338L, 7.92x57M, 5.7x28FN and 4.6x30HK just ti name a few. Literally any ONE of these rounds and some decent training is all anyone needs.
@@RyuusanFT86 Kalstit is worried about standardizing these types of arms and munitions which is why it's limited to the r6 ops for fear of everyone getting their hands on these types of munitions and reverse engineering it since they have a certain process to making them and earth guns differ from terran guns since they are heavier and have different internals so only the r6 gang could utilize them but still she doesn't want them to get out cause it could trigger something with the laterano people. These children with chainsaws and "potato launchers" have a different biology which allows them to fight differently and they are most familiar their mode of combat like W she could use terran guns and has training with them but she prefers using explosives for ranged and a knife melee.
@@Avarice0918 Fair point with the first half, but biology has nothing to do with the fact there's nothing stealthy or precise about power tools and explosions. Peiod. Melee isn't practical for thorough and efficient combat, that's why guns exist now.
@@RyuusanFT86 true but you never know with enemies like the emperor's blade or patriot I don't think guns are enough to deal with them maybe some ops like skadi who can can literally cleave a mountain in half or rosmontis who is canonically invulnerable to ranged atracks are best fit to fight certain enemies due to their speed, defense and/or raw power.
still waiting for more weapon variants that doesn't rely on Originium.
I can't be the only one who have wondered about who would win a war between Earth and Terra?
Unless there are some limitations, Earth wins it pretty easy. Even though terra has some fantastical tech like 3d printing gold. Their tech that is crucial for war is pretty bad.Throught the game it is hinted that long distance communication is limited, they apparently dont have radars and the air force desnt exist beyond few experimental osprey like craft that only rhodes island seem to have, armored vehicles dont exist beyond APC. And it appear that tgeir main way of waging war is using landships. For terran standards, they are awesome weapons of war, for Earth standards, they are sitting ducks waiting to get fed by artillery, missiles and bombs . in fact I can say that an average 2nd world nation could easily 1v1 the major powers of terra.
Earth.
Every earth personel have gun.
And heavy vehicle like tanks and plane
The only advantage terra have over earth is Arts.
Where they can use magic to create all sort of stuff. But its still not enough to fight earth weaponary
Although terra has all these advanced looking tech earth would win due to our tech tree points essentially being spent on war and our vehicles and comms are basically more usable in war compared to terra
Earth wins because gunpowder > originium,
Plus, they aren't as advanced as our warfare due to communication and treating guns as heavenly weapons unlike ours that can take out multiple targets (See Ash in R6)
They don't have jet fighters, and they only have deployable mobile cities that can be bombarded easily with tanks and artillery
And us humans cannot have an Originium exposure unlike that of Terra's, as evident by the OD event where they literally are in there for 6 months and tachanka has a fucking originium slug running around
Our tech are more specialized in killing people
Rosemontis: *"Pathetic, real gamers use WALLS."*
The sword and bow pretty much fit in Dark souls weapon

@@ofal5124 sir yes sir
Fartooth has an animation for her reloading, which is the only one i know for now.
Laterano and Iberia are not the only ones that give weapons spiritual meaning.
The sarkaz of Kazdel, being a warrior race, seem to have a culture sorrounding weapons and names as seen in Darknights Memoir and Flamebringer in his short story.
In Sarkaz culture, to take another Sarkaz's weapon after their death is to take their name and their place. W's rifle, which she never uses, belonged to the previous W and at the end of Darknights Memoir, she sees a kid with a sarkaz sword and asks him if he knows what that means.
In a sense, low class sarkaz of kazdel have no name but that of their weapon (side effects of growing up in a war torn country). I seem to recall W and Theresa talking about that when Theresa asks her name. Mudrock squad can also be seen using hammers similar to that of their leader's but the reason is mostly up in the air.
Even Columbia sarkaz like Vigna take pride in mastering complicated weaponry and techniques.
Also, you'll notice many sarkaz mercenaries use nicknames to talk to one another. One of Mudrock's squad was literally called Chef. Apparently, saying your name outloud to another sarkaz can be interpreted as a challenge.
Lastly sarkaz mercenaries often take the guns of laterano people they kill (mostly sankta) as trophies even if they can't use them. I imagine, to them, its almost as insulting as taking an enemy's dog tag would be to us. You know that weapons rack of W's room? Each one of those belonged to someone she's killed...
The nicknames may also have a bit of a spiritual meaning akin to True Names being a thing and having Arts/witchcraft to use it.
@@utoro5 True. The difference between sarkaz witchcraft and arts is also a very interesting topic. There is a constant distinction between arts, which are almost a science and magic like what Nian and Dusk can do. Mudrock's powers seem to be in the magical end of the spectrum according to the lore.
The last statement is correct. A furniture from Darknight Memoir has a rack of rifles (notable AR-15 variants) that has description about Sarkaz like to take weapons from fallen Laterano people.
@@axios4702 I'm guessing arts is a more combat practical thing like mana and magic while witchcraft I guess would be a ritual of sorts for a big effect or impact
So that explains why the doctor can't use guns but now he can with the help of r6 operators
This man is milking every piece of information from Originium Dust event. But Im not complaining, really like these videos. Great work!
2:17 YES, I'M ON FIRE 🔥
So the crossbows were designed by Arknights Joerg Sprave...
Avengers katana are powered with power of friendship
My lad Qaiser,been loving your vids
im curious,what if an operator used flechette rounds,the rounds possesess higher velocity and penetration how well will it fare against enemies
If I bring the knowledge of earth broomsticks to laterano would they make me saint and give me a harem?🤔
So those mortar gunner also use arts to operate the mortar too?
Isn't there airguns/ pneumatic weapons and flechette/needle guns and such? I've seen a few operator's use weaponized nailguns or gun like weapons , hung in one of his animations has a pneumatic pistol I think ?
Do we have any instances where in the Arknight world where their weapons are named exactly the same as Earth’s weapons?
Guns are Staffs with Extra Steps.
You mean with altitude?
i wonder who would win when have a serious fight, earth or terra (not using nuke cus friendly fire on)
I mean... our world isn't bothered by catasrophes on daily basis, people aren't forced into moving cities to have a glympse on the normal life, and the world isn't being devoured by a rock-cancer diesese
and let's not forget that despite stuff like guns and magic most people still fight in a medieval fashion "hit them with mah sword"
we didn't yet seen usage of originum arts in a full scale warfare by a normal caster, but it would take much more than one or two boss-power-level characters to rival the earth military arsenal,
and sure these bows and crossbows might be strong, but i would suppouse that rifle round that don't need wizzard to use would still be stronger
When we getting that video on warfare in Arknights?
Im still confused what gun bagpie use
So basically the sword users in Arknights can be called... Arts Sword Online
Uhh... I don't recommend eating those sugars even though they look delicious
Fisters? My my, panda girl is into some kinky stuffs. 😏
A video about weaponry in Terra without a mention of Ceobe?
What will happen if they discovered how to build tanks and other weapons that our world has?
Wait, so do all the guns need Arts to use? I assume the Rainbow 6 characters have regular firearms, but what about Exusiai who uses a Vector SMG, another real life gun? Did she steal it from the real world or did they invent an Arts version of it in Terra lol
The gun was invented by Laterano of course.
This sounds stupid, but what if lightsabers exist in Terra?
hah hah laser sword goes vroom vroom
Serious note, if you applied the star wars lore to arknights then the lightsaber is pretty much an unstoppable weapon, as arknights wouldn't have the type of materials to resist lightsabers, such as phyrik, beskar, or cortosis
If the rainbow 6 collab is cannon and there still using there firearm who supplying the bullets ? Either W making for them . Or sasa has modified there guns maybe similar to what happen bliz shield and put a originium battery to allow them to bullets from Terra . I really want to know now
Iir the RI research department made the r6 team ammo that uses originium dust as a propellant which has less power than modern smokeless powder munitions but still strong enough to blow a hole through someones head.
9:14
INDEED
What about Horn's handheld howitzer?
You should go teach the history of Arknights on a college
Umm... how about heavyweight crossbow? Like Rosa's ballista (idk what it's name)
what about matoimaru's blade? what is if based off of, a naginata maybe?
So... how does Rosa (Poca) drill gun thing work?
Do Terrarians have an Air force?
They have planes and also explosives, so they should be having Bomber planes.
I doubt most country have it.
Rhodes island aircraft is the only aerial vehicle we saw in arknights.
And rhodes island able to get the aircraft because they found it along with rhodes island landship when it was dug up and fix it.
Other country could maybe already invented it but never show it.
But yeah so far there is no confirmation if other aircraft exist other than the one rhodes island have
Just like how chen or the reunion are confused when they saw the rhodes island aircraft for the first time.
Terrans don't really have much in the way of aerial transport and so far looks like RI is the only power to utilize them.
So, guns in arknights are basiclly weird black magic shits
Ok but wth is Bagpipe’s Gunlance
how about Skadi's Big Black Sword?
Jackie hav a gun but she use fist instead :3
What I don't get is the difference in power between an infected and non infected.
Honestly non.
Other than infected gain more affinity towards art and was able to cast art without any catalyst like staff, etc
Infected gain more affinity and power in using arts and for the road iir the discrimination is basically because when infected die they go out like a biochemical explosive if not handled correctly which can infect everyone in a radius so essentially they are biochemical bombs and non infected are scared of that
