      The revolving action on the shambler is practical for its purpose of easy and fast gun handling. You want that ease of slapping shells on the the clips mid fight rather than a bad seating on a bulky magazine. Also scavenging would require more magazine loading time rather than just single shells when you need them which hasn't been seen in shooters but is a real combat issue.

    The reason the men of the metro have such good gunsmithing abilities is because an entire arms factory of workers made it into the metro station nearest to them as the bombs fell, and they have basically scattered around as the most sought after craftsmen who are never short for work.

    In the Metro games, almost all of the guns have been designed so that the player can physically see how much ammunition they have left without having the HUD. The games are big on immersion and not having a HUD is a whole game mode.

      Not exactly the best choice for a game where you're in grimy sewers and flooded subway tunnels though. Other games do that by designing them with an ammo counter display or something like Condemned that didn't have open magazines but had you physically check to see how much ammo you have it would show up as a note on the screen.

      Also overheating. It would realistically jam like the French chau cha because of all of the open spaces in the magazine and action and if it could fire enough without jamming, the red hot barrel indicates that the rifling would be eaten away (if it was there in the first place) with a chance of the barrel rupturing (either bursting from the pressure as the barrel gets soft from the heat or the barrel dropping down as it gets hot and a bullet passing through the softened metal). All of that being said, I love the bastard rifle!

A good example is on the Bastard: whenever you throw on the 50-round drum magazine or the 100-round belt feed modification, a cooling shroud is added over the chamber/rear of the barrel because a handmade gun like that would never be able to handle the heat of firing 50 rounds in a row without overheating, warping the barrel, or even bursting

      @@BlyatifulButter clearly you couldn’t, but I could understand that the person appreciates the game for what it is supposed to be. It’s a survival horror game. Its guns are impractical and highly unlikely to function which is why we switch our “gun-brains” off. We understand they’re likely not going to work, just like Johnathan does in this video. Yet we still respect how humans are depicted as no longer being a dominant species and having to rely on scraps to build the guns. Even if the guns realistically wouldn’t function the way some of these ones do. There is no reason to be as hostile as you are right now. I haven’t played a newer Call of Duty game in years. The last one I played was World at War’s campaign because it’s my favorite, and it was around a year ago. The Metro series is a fantastic depiction of a possible reality where humanity truly is no longer the dominant species. There’s no denying it. Clearly you are way too much of a Puritan about this game to understand that “gun-brains” are not real, but the idea of “turning off” those so called brains in order to appreciate what the Metro universe has to offer is a very realistic thing to do.

      @mikuluver7 3 года назад +2

      The way it looks while firing seems to imply it works on a simple open bolt design mixed with some basic machine gun operation, meaning that you have a sort of ratcheting track with a moving pin fixed to a plate that reciprocates with the bolt, similar to the MG42 or MG34. You could make these feed strips work and have a magazine that plausibly could be like the one in the game. One day I might experiment with some prototyping and create a scale model that illustrates the mechanisms.

    Love how they show a picture of the P90 when it´s literally right behind him the whole time.

    Me a metro player: Actually the Shambler/Uboinik is open so ranger difficulty players can see how many rounds they have remaining as ranger difficulty disables the UI and forces you to essentially keep a tally on the number of rounds on the gun while personally keeping a count of how many rounds shot and rounds remaining on the non visible side of the gun after a reload. Same goes for the AK as it has a window to give a general idea of how many rounds you have with a margin of error more or less for myself of 2 shots. Also to check ammo for the double barrels, you need to look at the hammers cocked back.

    I didn't know you typically can't suppress revolvers, today I've learnt something new and I'm happy about that.

    The SMG is functionally similar in appearance to a harmonica pistol, though with full auto function. As far as cycling, it could theoretically work with some form of toothed gear or Geneva gear and a track, but it would indeed be needlessly complex.

    Regarding the Uboinik/Shambler/Revolver shotgun: since it is a revolver and the shells gets ejected after every shot you made, it can be filled up at any time when doing a reload and each reload is unique depending on how many shells needs to be inserted.
    And when talking about the original 2033 game, you could accidentally just load it with 5 shells instead of the max 6, since the bottom shell holder is actually inaccessible when you fill up.

    1:34 what's worse is that the ammo is rimmed. the ammo would get stuck on the braces because of it.

    The bastard gun is like Bob Marley, it'd be jamming constantly.

    A breakdown of the guns and their interior mechanisms from Receiver 2 would be fantastic to see, as well as the turrets

    2:38 those are called "MGR" or military grade rounds, they do more damage than normal ammo and is the main currency used in Metro

    Fun watch. I should note from having fired small home made rail guns myself that you get plasma discharge from ablation of the rails. Some of the ablated metal also burns which gives a white hot appearance not unlike what can be seen in an electric arc.

    I think the reason why the shotgun shells and other bullets are visible is so you can keep track of them in ranger mode where you don't have a HUD.

    The suppressor won't make the revolver quieter but in theory it will give it more barrel length, which gives it more range, modern suppressors are designed to redirect the gases behind the bullet which gives it more speed too

    About the last revolver, I think it's big no no to place your hand just in front of the cylinder while firing the gun.
