- Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the iconic weaponry of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, including the Type 63 rifle, the Barrett M82 sniper rifle, and the Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War sees the franchise head back to 1981 for a first-person shooter full to the brim of iconic period weaponry like the MP5 submachine gun, the AK47, and the M16 tactical rifle.
In the above video, Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the weapons of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, including the Russian Type 63 assault rifle, the Barrett M82 sniper rifle, the Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun, and the iconic Colt 1911 revolver. Across the video, Jonathan breaks down the weapons and their in-game functionality, and compares them to their real-world counterparts.

remember SIR . . you are a WEAPONS master NOT a spy . . ill have you know that in russia they literally built towns with newspapers that circulated real stories and had milkshake spots and the entire town operated with russian spies that trained in these villages or towns with surveillance equipment they installed and to practice and so they would know about the latest movies and stuff when they arrived in north america . . so sorry . . .your WRONG and those training towns DO and DID exist and DO EXIST TO THIS VERY DAY . . . good day to you sir . .
and if you ever watched a cold war training video from cia or mi6 they specifically refer to these towns so sorry sir but you are dead WRONG . . good day to you
the barret 50 cal wasnt made by a giant weapon company like H&K IT WAS actually made by 1 man . . and only was put into production for cia in the 90s so ya . . the very first one was used in sweden special forces in 1991 . . .and yeah . . .cia didnt get them for awhile after that . .. but anyways. .. carry on . . btw i do like you sir .. . your funny and you taught me alot . . you failed to mention the 74u being the predecesor to the modern draco . . and also many guns were altered to fit different stocks and barrelswere switched out to use drum clips . . .anyways . . carry on . .
Jayeden Dunahee I agree with u 💯 but calm down bruh lol
Can we get csgo
It's obvious this guy is not only is a firearms expert, but has a ton of experience with games based on all his references and clever jokes. Bring him back for more.
He’s really great. I came into this expecting some old dude who wouldn’t shut up about “Oh, well this and that isn’t realistic,” when the thing they’re talking about wouldn’t be plausible in a video game. This guy took me off guard, he seems to have an unprecedented understanding of video game balance.
always nice to see when experts get that games go for a bit more flare than would be real..
Well, he's a younger guy that does a "nerdy" thing for his job so I'd bet money that he probably plays video games quite a bit in his free time.
Bootsy, you are so right
The fact that he took into account that weapon balancing in multiplayer was a probably reason why that one rifle wasn’t able to switch fire rates was impressive. I would assume the normal old geezers that attempts to critique guns in games would never actually think that misrepresentations might actually be for the game. They just think it’s game designers being lazy or trying to be Hollywood.

Fun fact: russian had their 1911
They have the model for the makarov in their holsters

I honestly really like how this guy points out inaccuracies. So many “firearms experts” would go off about how ridiculous it is. This guys like “yea not realistic but it’s fun so why not.” He appreciates games need to be fun not 100% accurate.
yep. as long as the game doesn't claim to be accurate or uses it as a selling point, I couldn't care less about the inaccuracies
But the .50cal needs to kill one bullet every time. And if I get the first 5-8 bullets off from an AK and someone shoots me with a 9mm. The 9 always wins even though I got the first shot. It's a joke. Battlefield is way more accurate.
@@fusionsportdaily1650 the reason that happens is because it's a game. If you got shot in the chest by a pistol to an ak, whole wearing some sort of armor, your chances of living through that are much higher against the pistols. But the developers don't want a gun they spent hours, even days or weeks developing to not be used cause it's better to use what is REALISTICALLY better. So they make pistols strong so they still see some use.
He's mentioned in a few of his react videos that he himself plays, and given his demeanour I'd bet he became a gun guy because of games.
@@fusionsportdaily1650 it's meant that way for balance. Most 9mm, 45acp ECT guns in cod shred up close but they are useless at mid range, where the larger rifles tend to reside. Its supposed to just be for balance, and to make you have to choose what pros and cons are acceptable to you when using a weapon.
"There's no way a russian would have this clearly super american M1911"
"BUT"
that was actually a cool segment!

No but he does appear on the Royal Armories YT channel
He has his own channel, but I believe he mainly posts on the Royal Armories channel.

The fact that the game did not include neither the TT33 or the Makarov, both are iconic Russian guns is a sin
A Makarov would also just be a fun little reference to the series
They will probably add loads of gun with every new season.. so i'm sure they will come.
@@StabYourBrain For multiplayer. I'm talking about single player with all the mix up weapons
Pistols are my biggest issues in this game because they only have 3 but they ignored so many designs from that era. TT33, Makarov and CZ75 should be all in the game as well as Walther PPK, Browning , and many others.
@@emiramick5305 there are plenty of S&W autos like the hushpuppy
You had me at “The Berreta is the Gucci” of handguns.
It's a 93r, very rare select fire pistol (and a properly modelled one in CW that is) so it definitely deserves that title
To be fair, it is. Also the tactical firearms community describe expensive high end gear and weapons as Gucci.
It's ironic since Beretta and Gucci are both from Italy.
@@RCDW that’s not irony
beniS H&K is way more Gucci there guns are over priced as hell
An interesting detail in game is that in the Vietnam sections of the game the AK 47’s weapon model switches to a Chinese type 56 AK

@@Oppen1945 bro who hurt you
@@Oppen1945 Do you need a number for somebody to talk to? You seem very angry at the world.
You can very clearly tell this guy not only loves his job, but is also understanding of mistakes that people may make about guns.
Too often you see a gun expert review a game and they're like "well 5.56 ballistics are very balanced into one direction made to completely bounce around any impact point on a tango target and taking them out so hitting someone more than 1 time is unrealistic"
This guy understands what games are, and understands that games sometimes have to be unrealistic, and even very obviously plays games himself.
i feel like with the spas-12, it makes sense that they aren't using the pump action aspect, because that is usually reserved for shells that dont release enough pressure to cycle the receiver in its automatic function
Magnum: One hit kill.
50 Cal: 3....
Anti-aircraft: ..........
Good spoting.
To be fair the rocket launcher and 50. caliber sniper rifle were used on juggernaut heavily armored enemies and the revolver was used on a normal guy.
@@AlexDreemurr wear all the armor you want, 50cal don't care. It was designed and created to PIERCE AND ENGINE BLOCK OF A VEHICLE. Stop and think about that.
@@brentdecker4458 right, but video game logic. You can't expect an annual release to simulate realistic ballistics. It's simplified: armored baddies take more damage.
@@AlexDreemurrI understand that, but thats why I don't like the BO series. They want you to believe in a "what if" story grounded in air quote realism, but its not even Michael Bay realism its like insanity. And worse, the vast majority of their fan base is die hard about how gritty and realistic this series is. Kinda kills me a little inside. But I will cede to that fact that its game logic haha
“Recoil is a bit light for a magnum”
Well this dude was just firing a 50 cal from the shoulder repeatedly while hurdling obstacles, so we can assume he is nearly superhuman.

@Gibbon no, reddit mods actually try
This video just made me realize that Treyarch totally skipped including a Soviet pistol in the game. So much so that they had a Soviet guard armed with a 1911....
Yep. They could have had the Scorpion vz. 61 as a machine pistol instead of the Raffica, it would have fufilled the soviet firearm as well as the automatic pistol archetype.
Hopefully they add a soviet secondary in the upcoming seasons. The game really shipped in a half-assed state for firearm representation.

The game definitely looks good but I’d prefer to see him go over Modern Warfare 2019. The animations and graphics on the guns are much better looking imo
YES PLEASE
I have both Cold War is like modern warfare with more content only reason modern warfare seems better is bc they made the recoil on guns waaaaaYYYYY more realistic and the guns junp EVERYWHERE as where Cold War took recoil back too the original black ops style which is my favorite IMO
They messed up with the fire selectors in cod 2019. You can only switch from semi to full on like the first mission and after that its all full auto. In real life you don’t use full auto unless you have a machine gun, and your suppressing the enemy so people can move. They got some small details of the guns wrong as well. Overall way better than any other cod before it.
Its also because different studios made modern warfare and cold war
@@islas357 just switch it to semi then, i did that in realism mode
I feel like the US town training course is an actual thing from Russia right? I've seen it in multiple games and films.
Also yea the fact he actually play through the games deserves respect!
I think i saw it in a james bond movie too
There were a couple of mock American towns built for KGB use, the most notable being Vinnytsia, in use from '54 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
I honestly appreciate how this guy is genuine and does his job perfectly without being an arse,it's a informative video because he explains it through instead of being those who would just be like "no no no that's incorrect,wrong,blah blah blah"
Indeed, for a Cold War themed game, they took TOO many liberties with this game.
casual people arent gonna realize these things, besides its not as if black ops is known for its realism
@@apex_xd8907
Black ops 2-4 isn’t because of its futuristic/sci-fi setting.
With Black Ops 1 they were somehow on point with a few anachronisms.
Casual or not, you shouldn’t take too many liberties, you should be on point and not be lazy, I mean Weapons that I haven’t seen before were even invented purposely for this game. There were also some anachronisms, weapons that are at least 10 years in advance. What also shocked me, was seeing RUSSIAN troops, armed with NATO weapons.
@@jbk19xx57 bruh idk bout u but i dont play games to look for communists using american guns, sure its kinda dumb when u think about it, but saying that they took too many liberties implies that it diminishes the game's value. It honestly really doesnt matter
You do realize it’s a game it can take liberties
@@jbk19xx57 think you're being abit biased to BO1 there. If Cold War took too many liberties to you then BO1 should be just as guilty: having optical sights on SMGs in the '60s, majority of the guns being anachronistic, even things like the US hadn't lost the war in Vietnam at that point like Hudson states in the campaign as it was still very much ongoing..
The joy on his face when he said "It's a SPAS-12, what do ya want?" It's actually pretty cool that you reached out to a professional.
i love how happy he looks whenever he picks up a gun, its clear he loves doing this stuff
Please bring this guy back! As somebody who really loves firearms and video games it’s good to see somebody that actually understands both so fluently! Made my day :)
"Multiple .50 Cal rounds to the head would be problematic." LOL
That's when you know the guy is British.
They didn't show him the part where the QBZ-95 was in the game, a gun made in the mid-90's set in a game that takes place in 1981.
I have 4 words. Call of duty logic.
or the pp bizon (bullfrog is the in game name) submachine gun with the helical round mag, the bizon didn't exist until 1993
Or the Ksp which is an UMP also made in the 90s.
It wasn't even fielded until the early 2000's.
@Brandon M QBZ83 doesn't exist. The QBZ naming system didn't come into use until the mid/late 90's and the weapon depicted in the game wasn't in the hands of soldiers until the early 2000's.
During the cold war period when the game is set, chinese forces would be equipped with either an AK or SKS variant.
5:10 Spas 12 in Payday 2 has changeable ammo and depending on the load it's either pump or semi.
I’ve never played Pay Day 2 but that’s probably the closest depiction of the spas in any game
I know this is an old video, but I'm just letting it written that this is officially one of my MOST FAVORITE series on the whole internet, Sir Jonathan in an absolute treasure of a man.

The lack of pistols in the game is really getting under my skin. And I know they are just holding back on them to put in later to cater to this “Games Service” model. Even though it’s not under a season pass, you need to have it right up front like MW2.
I love this guy he's just such a nerd and has so much fun with these
Best episode, this guy actually knows what he's talking about
Yup, Barrett makes .50 cal suppressors in house too
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good joke bro
I’d love to see experts react to the cursed attachments for the guns, obvious example suppressed magnum and its 12 round cylinder even tho it had 6 holes
Well suppressing a revolver isn't impossible.. Just hard xD the only one I know of where they've done it successfully is with the nagant m1895 and that's because it has a 2 step action, the first being it presses the cylinder up close and tight against the barrel sealing the gap that usually is what makes suppressing a revolver hard. I'm sure they've come up with other ways in modern times, like the revolvers that looks just like your typical semi auto pistol but actually has a cylinder magazine on the "underbelly" of the pistol hidden by a hatch-ish mechanism, allowing it to be Supressed. It is a revolver, however not your classical one :P
The 12rnds in a 6rnd cylinder however.. Jeez.. Never been much for alot of the CoD games.. The ones I've actually played are the "older" ones with a real solid story line, such as the first Black ops :P
@@Pre.C_King yea, I am aware of that particular revolver. But it has never been in a cod where you can attach a suppressor to it as far as I’m aware. It is curious that no modern revolvers have the same mechanism to seal the cylinder gap. Probably cause they want to keep it simple.

Jonathan seems like the type of guy i could sit down with and chat about guns with for hours. He demands your presence with his very articulate style and presentation. Well done
I don't even play most of the games referenced in these videos, but I thoroughly enjoy watching them. Very pew pew, much knowledge
Interesting stuff, he's an author as well of a book on British bullpup guns.
Yeah, I thought I recognized him in the thumbnail since he appeared frequently on Forgotten Weapons during his book's Kickstarter campaign.
7:51
Jerry Miculek put 6 rounds on target in a second with the Barret 50. Absolutely insane.
@Dylan klebold maybe with some practice. I'm sure he didn't do it just first try
Actually if I may correct Jonathan on one thing is his bit about the scoped revolver: it's not only used in sports/hunting, but also by a well-known counter-terrorist team known as the GIGN. They sometimes cannot afford to bring the Hecate-II or the AW 338 in some places because of course the thing is huge, heavy and all, so if they cannot bring their sniper, they use the very accurate Manurhin MR73 chambered in .357 Magnum with a mounted Magnum Phantom Sniper Scope and a Bipod, and a barrel length verying from 8 to 10 inches.
Interesting he'd say that about the possibility of running and gunn with the Barrett .50 cal. I think even though it's a possibility, but it's a huge inefficient use of energy especially if you were to be surrounded by multiple opponents and you have to fight your way out of a kill box. Switching it out from time to time when you need to take someone further out would makes more sense, but using your side arm to take down anyone within 10 to 50 meters if they were a good enough shot with it.
Anyway, awesome vid. Please bring him back for more of these kinds of vids!!!

The krig 6 is based on the first version of the Swedish Ak 5. The green colour and the fire selection having a P for semi automatic (stands for patronvis) give it away. There are also the 5.56 flashguard and the raider stock that are based on the updated version of the ak5 (ak5c).
The more important bit about the AKs-74u with a drum: the Russians never even produced a drum in 5.45, not even for the RPK-74, and tuck to extended 45-round magazines. Cause they realized drums were cumbersome and unreliable.
And speaking of the revolvers, the only modern military use of revolvers (or the most well known at least) was by the GIGN. They used both scoped and unscoped .357 magnum revolvers in their operations.
DesertAvenger Actually you're wrong. The RPK-16 has a 95 or 96 drum (5.45x39mm) created by Izhmash (Kalashnikov Concern in present day) in 2018. But you're correct about no drum was created or even planned by the Soviet during the days of AK-74 and RPK-74.
@@aguynamedstetchkov4690 that's what I meant, when I said "the Russians" I should've said "the Soviets". Thanks for the correction.
Isn’t that restricting as it can only carry 6 rounds and might not withstand the requirements of today’s urban conflicts which exchange of gun fire can last for 30 minutes if not hours and multiple rounds would be needed?
@@1anre that's because the GIGN often gets into situations where multiple rounds are not a possibility, like hostage situations, etc. where one well placed shot is all they have. Plus, they no longer actively use the revolvers in their operations.
@@1anre they can customize their revolvers to meet different challenges.
The Dshk fires the 12.7×108mm anti-material cartridge. very capable of chewing threw the (comparatively light) armour of armoured fighting vehicles.
Have you ever cooperated with Call of duty makers? Your info is gold.
Great videos, new sub!
I like how this guy isn't aiming for the low hanging fruit like "Oh wow he didn't get killed in one or two shots, that's unrealistic." No, he recognizes this is a shooter game and instead inspects the areas of weapon realism that work or don't regardless of the inherent unrealistic quality of the gunplay.
@Daniel Wong yea there is a video of a cop shooting 7 rounds into a guy with a pistol going around the internet
@Daniel Wong ima be honest through, u get shot in the head with any bullet shape or form without a helmet ur probably going to die
I live 20 mins away from this museum. It's free and full of weapons.
are they all deactiveted
@@heypeter6476 It is a standard practice to deactivate firearms that are on display in museums. Since the presenter is from the UK, that would certainly be the case.
Ok
@@CatAT0N1_C Im pretty sure atleast most of the royal armouries weapons are functional, because they also shoot some of the guns
everyone cares
everyone cares
It's neat that Jonathan is an expert on guns but he's also clearly well versed in video games. He seems willing to let some realism slide if it means you get a game that's more fun it.
Good vibes from this guy, very entertaining
After just watching him talk about the type 63, it's nice he understands the balance between realism and game balance
After what he said about the type 63 i know he knows nothing about realism and you don't to
@@FirstnameLastname-wo2zq too*
I think u need to do your research
@@FirstnameLastname-wo2zq It's a modified SKS, and hardly a good sniper rifle. But can be a nice marksman weapon of sorts)
@@xxxnyanthecatxxx ok.....
Not only does he know his guns, he knows his video games also.
Please get this guy to do more videos like this !
This is a great series
wow a vey informative and helpful i understand that is kind of redundant.
favorite weapon is the krig16
Haha Anti aircraft round “He just shakes it off” 😂😂😂😂
That was my favorite part lol
Sounds like Multiplayer
neaxtech360 are you also trying to grind launchers to max level?
Matt from Demoranch had a suppressor for his Barrett, it's almost as big as the gun itself
The biggest at least you tried award.
In 1986/7 during the filming of robocop the 3 round Barreta was shown in elongated barrel glory and it was that glorious. Though the barrel was lengthened as robocop was huge and needed a long gun to not look puny. It was called the Auto 9 and it had all sorts of paperwork to import it from the factory due to 1984 mg laws in America as it technically in law at least was classed as a machinegun
I think a smg in 5.7×28 that resembles a modern paintball with all the weaver railing on the top of the receiver, the front top of the barrel, the bottom front of the receiver in front the mag well, and the back block of the receiver with g3 style take down pins polymer Vert grip and arch angel stock and 3-4 xoptic. With different round count size of magazines 15/30 &/100 round drum mag would be awesome. Maybe even the usual anodized paint job would be a good choice for home defence, and some.
wow a reviewer that actually knows about video games and not just subject they’re comparing!
'Metions lack of reflex optics in the '80's'
Me: THANK YOU!
Tho when u consider the colt m4 exists as an xm4 experimental rifle
The plausible reason is that blops agents are using experimental stuff to test out their effectiveness.
Same with the kgb as seen with the weapons on display here.
0:39 - It looks like a matte painting. ... awesome!
Might look at the scoped Manhurin revolver used by the French, designed in 1973. The MR 73 was standard issue with France's Gendarmerie and in some police units including Special Weapons and Tactics teams (RAID, GIGN and comparable units). The GIGN selected the MR 73 in part for its ability to almost indefinitely withstand 150 rounds of full-power ammunition during daily range practice.[citation needed] These teams also use MR 73s with Bushnell Magnum Phantom 1.5× telescopic sights and 8" and 10" barrels for tactical purposes. Over one million rounds were allegedly fired through one example
I can really appreciate the guy considering game balance and comparing to real life.
Some professionals don't mention it or have a game to reference.
Definitely a great person to have for this video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good joke
With that gloves and all the guns around, he looks like a character from Payday2
Nice work mate
I just wanted him to talk about that Stoner 63 LMG Sitting behind him... That gun is interesting as hell with how versatile it was before getting replaced with the MG42 - Chris
The M16 but the A1 and the A2 seen in the game is animated with the 20 round magazine but ammo counts it as 30
And the 30 round mag makes it 45.
Pretty sure that's a tradition on the Black Ops games.
Don't forget the 50 round fast reload mag on XM4 is a regular old 30 round STANAG mag xD
He seems like he has actually played a couple video games in his time
I don't know much about BTR series APCs but I have experience with another soviet era APC - the BMP-1. Its armor can withstand .50 cal bullets (brobably .50 BMG and less likely 12.7x108mm) but only the front armor can do that. Side and rear armor can offer protection only from .30 cal bullets (which probably means .308 and 7.62x54r).
7:43 Mat Best, a U.S. Army Ranger veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan (I can't remember if he's a veteran of both, but he's definitely been deployed to one of them) has a video up on his Instagram of him shoulder firing the Barrett .50 cal. He's a funny dude.
I know it's a video game but I think the devs need to do research when making games based on real events lol
Yea but they aslo take liberties
To be fair just about nothing in this game’s campaign is real
@@S1deshowRob or is it?
The slogan for the game is “know your history” guess Treyarch and Activision don’t know theirs lmao
They don’t want to make everything real intentionally, it is not a Sim, it’s a videogame.
Trust with the kind of $Billion dollar budget they have, they can employ Armory historians with Phds all over the world like this chap to advice them properly on the period correct models of weapons used in those times.
But they don’t want that, hence the reason they made some not so perfect inclusion of weapons in the game.
Have this guy react to the +400 realistic firearms in Hotdogs horseshoes and Hand grenades. This actually simulates the Spas-12 switching between pump and semi-auto.
Yup, and after 400 hours I still cant switch back from pump consistently...
