Jonathan, holding two massive handguns and smiling awkwardly should pretty much be the GameSpot’s avatar by this point.
I’d definitely watch that
Si.
That's Deadpool in a nutshell
Its not a gun channel so...
@@mr.vargas5648 so what?
Most people: "This game is not realistic!"
Jonathan: "I'm disappointed we don't have silver bullets here"
He shares my opinion
Well the magnum bullets do have a Silver color
I'm pretty sure the handgun ammo is called "silver wolf" or something
Wolfsbane’s ammo seems to be silver bullets.
Tbf, Resident Evil Village isn't really supernatural. Its more like mutations such as the ones in X-men
It's funny how the "Scorpion" already has the stock, but it's folded and then you buy that wooden thing and remove the folded stock to attach it. xD
IT'S MORE *ECOLOGICALLY* FRIENDLY 😲
tbf a fixed stock is more comfortable than a flimsy wire stock soo thats why it increase your accuracy although you end up having an ugly gun for doing that.
@@ShotgunGabe Still kicks as if Ethan holds it just by his hands and shoots .50 AE rounds. xD
@@marimoerostraw nooooot really, both metal and wood are native to our planet. The wood stock would probably be more comfortable on the shoulder though.
Eathan simply cannot bring himself to use that pathetic excuse for a stock until he finds a real one.
One detail that I really enjoyed about Village's weapons was that the animations were changed from RE7's clunky, awkward ones to more sharp and tactical, reflecting the training Ethan received from BSAA.
Also, seeing Jonathan die inside trying to comment on the red dot sight was hilarious
Honestly that confused and annoyed me more than anything. Even for games that don’t get guns right, I have never ever seen a red dot sight attachment that says it increases firepower.
@@nicholascauton9648 that confused me as well, i think the idea was that the sight would make Ethan more accurate and thus able to hit weak spots more frequently, in turn increasing his fire rate and damage.
Really roundabout way of doing things tho
Didn't he technically get trained by Umbrella? Since Chris works for them now.
@@pixelrex2205 chris doesn't work for umbrella. He stoll works for BSAA but was sent to helo blue umbrella while also keeping an eye in them because BSAA DOESN'T fully trust them
@@jeremycherry6762Ethan was specifically trained by the BSAA after the "Louisiana Incident," and then relocated. If you search the house in the opening of Village it clarifies.
Y'all really did strike gold with Jonathan. Such a charming, charismatic, funny and informing presenter. I don't even care about guns (or many of those games), yet still watch every time.
I love his laugh and smile.
I'm exactly the same, although I do love Resident Evil
Sameeee
I love guns and I love Jonathan
@@YourPalKindred I preferred melee weapons before but I'm quickly developing an interest in guns too thanks to how well Jonathan presents them
Man, I was really surprised when Jonathan described the gyrojet as "basically the real life warhammer 40k bolter pistol"
Talk nerdy to me, I love it.
That's why he's perfect for these videos.
That gun is also in Depth video game
In a couple tens of thousands of years, Ferguson would be the Perpetual keeper of the weapons of an entire Astartes chapter. While not an Astartes himself, the collective knowledge of hundreds of years of keeping the Emperor’s finest going would earn him the respect of chapter Masters and Primarchs alike.
a WH40K version if him would be cool
Please tell me you have looked at his Necromunda video.
In the case of the fully auto 1911, I think the devs got confused with old terminology. At the time of the start self-reloading pistols, these guns were labeled “fully automatic” because they automatically fed another cartridge into the chamber and pulled the hammer back, ready for another shot. Nowadays we use the term “semi-automatic” to describe such action
Indeed. A lot of writers like Raymond Chandler use the term 'automatic' for what we now call 'semi-automatic'.
The gun is fully automatic for the player though. It chugs away like a Chauchat, giving the impression that it's semi-auto, but it will keep firing as long as you hold down your fire button, something the other guns do not do.
@@GremlinSciences ironically, something the trenchgun can't do
It means full auto for the player, if you hold your fire button it’ll keep shooting
I think Britain actually uses 'automatic' for full auto and 'repeating' or 'repetitious' for semi-auto.
One of the things I love about RE8 was pointed out to me by a buddy of mine from the army. Watch Ethan's reload animations between 7 and 8. In 7, Ethan would release a mag and let it drop to the floor like almost every shooter out there. He'll even grab the fresh magazine after he drops the previous one. In 8, Ethan's had a bit of training. First is when changes mags. He'll already have the fresh one in hand. Second thing, he saves magazines the still have rounds in them instead of dropping them on the ground. He'll swap the magazines with the same hand. And you'll notice that as you ammo reserves deplete, you're not getting a full magazine if you swapped out a half-spent mag and haven't picked up any ammo yet. Third thing, Ethan isn't as awkward with firearms as he was in 7. General reload is faster and his grip is good. You can see it when he's aiming, too.
Chris trained him well.
He says near the beginning of the game he went through military training so it's cool that you can see the difference
> with the same hand
mate, Ethan has at least six spare hands so you can never be sure
Small correction, he _looks_ to retain the magazine. You can actually hear them clatter the the ground just after they leave the frame.
I've noticed that in a lot of newer games, they put all that effort into making sure that the animation is a retention reload to explain away the lack of magazines laying around, but they keep the clattering of the magazine hitting the ground. A few of them even just drop the magazine in the last few frames instead of stowing it.
@@GremlinSciences Most likely an oversight on the devs part.
I’ve never heard a British man more indignant than when he first read fully automatic for the 1911
Pretty sure some 1911 die hards did the same when reading it...
Know one of my buddies sure did.
It's not a 1911. It's an M45A1. Very, very similar platforms but they are all different. Still a semiautomatic though.
@@MrKilljoyZero The M45A1 is just a variant of the M1911...
i did the same and i just like guns, i so used to games screwing up names and stuff i thought RE8 did a USA government description of a gun with the auto 1911 but is a modified semi-auto why would u auto a 7 bullet gun is beyond me...
I think saying they do a US government job of description is to harsh i never saw they say "AR 15 is heavier them 10 boxes you moving, that use.50 bullets"
@@MrKilljoyZero it is full auto, i've played the game and didn't realize it was full auto until long after i finished my first playthrough
"A comfortable fu-FULLY AUTOMATIC?!" I love you Jonathan that was my exact reaction too playing the game lol.
My mans looked appalled
I’d be rightfully annoyed too if it was within my line of work or part of my passion
Bro, its a fully semi-automatic assault pistol. /s
In a different timeline:
"Okay, pause here - *What the fuck is this shit?* "
Hey this is what happens when people don't know shit about guns that they think semi-auto and full-auto are the same thing
It's an early build.
The M1911 description was changed to read "fires on full semi automatic" now.
They really pulled the “fully semi automatic”
God, that distinctive “POP” of a grenade launcher round leaving the barrel will never not be satisfying to me.
Canonically (hah!) it's "BLOOP".
@@JohnHughesChampigny I thought it sounded *PHUMP!* or *PUNGKH!*

Howling 2 anyone?
What makes Jonathan nice to watch is how you can clearly see how much he enjoys his work.
Plus it's even more fun seeing him react to the game and reacting to inaccurate gun depictions
Absolutely right
"Days Gone" has some interesting firearms to look at. Especially in the later part of the game at Wizard Island.
Also the Syphon Filter references too, especially the MB-150 (or BND 150 in DG)
what about Halo games
Shame the game was awful
@@darassylmoniakam he's been in 2 videos about Halo now
@@jerichokane5880 Days Gone was amazing. You braindead?
1:28 Well Ethan does mention getting some military training during the beginning of this game.
Yeah I think Ethan mentioned Chris showing him some stuff, or is that just headcanon on my end?
@@Gobbostopper In the beginning of the game you can take a look at his library and it'll give you a title for a book that's for learning how to use firearms.

When Johnathan was talking about “riding the recoil” I imagined a western movie where a gunslinger fires a revolver and let’s the recoil spin the gun into his holster.
Would be cool if tricky to pull off. Not sure if the trigger finger would make it.
Is there an actual scene of a movie with that or should someone make one at this point?
"there's no silver bullets"
Well I mean.....the wolfsbane has that name for a reason.......
It doesn't, it's just there to make you think it's important. It's just a magnum. There are no sliver bullets in the game
@@bowiehunter Silver bullets don't do any actual extra damage against werewolves in the game anyway because its mutations like X-men. Nothing supernatural in it
When you load the wolfsbane I uses silver bullets
8:43 Is that type of reloading realistic or even possible?
@@Mark-in8ju nope the brass expands and provides enough friction to prevent them from sliding out without the help of something to physically push the bullets out
From Jonathan’s evaluations you can clearly see the RE:Village team probably consists of some serious gun nerds who at the same time weren’t afraid to throw realism out the window for Rule of Cool. Which I think is a good design strategy for a series like Resident Evil.
RE always has interesting weapons. The custom 92FS (peak 90s chic), VP-70, Hi Power, C96, etc. Wild that my favorite weapon is the FR-F2 in this one, but I do own a MAS-36 and love it.
Yep. Such interesting choices.
I remember once upon a time that RE games had guns in game which generally had the correct real-world names on them (often when you examined them in your inventory), but by RE4 and then RE6 onwards they just seemed to name them differently (IE, anytime a Desert Eagle shows up now it's generally called the Lightning Hawk). Did they need to get the rights from the real-life manufacturers to use the correct names/designations in game or did they just fancy doing it differently?
@@jamesnorman9160 Yes, you need the rights from the real-life manufacturers. Hence, why even games like Call of Duty have made up names for some of it's guns. It only last for, like,a few decades, though, so for the older guns like the M1911 or AK-74, it's free to use. Not that it stops companies from using made up names for the fun of it.
@@daddysempaichan The copyright on the 1911 is long expired as its more than 100 years old, and the AK-74 was made by a communist country with no copyright laws, so that's why you can use those guns for free.
The “fully automatic” aspect of the 1911 in the game is literally just a gameplay thing basically saying “hey you don’t have to click the mouse when you want to shoot, you can just hold it down”
Well that seems kind of dumb. Do you need to click repeatedly with the other pistols?
@@DGneoseeker1 only 3 pistol in this game(not include Magnum and Rockets pistol).
and 2 of them are fully automatic. and fully automatic M1911 is actually exist, you can find it very easy on youtube. But it's very rare and almost impossible to see in village like that.
Fully automatic M1911 is fine, even the recoil of this weapon in the game. But problem is, it use 10 rounds magazine to hold 23 rounds in the game. even it's 9mm M1911 that magazine could hold about 15 rounds only. And this M1911 model is absolutely not double stack 1911.
@@genewellnapata445 did you heard what Jonathan said? Yes 1911 auto are a thing but the way it works in the game it doesn't match with what a 1911 auto would be... Btw the double stack I think is called 2011
@@Seb-Storm I know 2011, and actually I own one staccato P(STI).
but M1911 model in this game is absolutely NOT 2011, and NOT 9mm double stack M1911 model either.I think I already said that clearly but you just didn't read it.
@@Seb-Storm Even Para has double stack 1911, the grip should be thicker.
I like how they made the fully automatic 9mm Scorpion as the powerful handgun, and made the .45 M1911 semi-auto as the machine pistol
The scorpion is chambered in 32 acp
In the mercenaries the fire rate of the scorpion changes and the damage of the 1911 increases
Although I don't understand why they gave the tac shotgun 2 shells at level 1 capacity in that mode
@@jimmyconway2800 Vz 61 specifically
Note regarding rubber band on stock:
Soldiers tend to put a rubber band on the stock so they can put their sling through it while for example travelling in a vehicle to prevent the sling getting stuck on something if they have to use it suddenly
For an ungodly amount of episodes in a row :
Halo
Titanfall 2
Black ops 2
Titanfall and Black Ops 2 especially.
I would love to see if there are any modern weapons that inspired any of the ones in these games..
@@CommissarChaotic bo2 is mostly modern weapons though
Halo’s guns are inspired by the FAMAS and not much else.
I find Halo's weapons to be extremely interesting, particularly the alien weapons because they tell us little things about the cultures that wield them (i.e. they vastly prefer close quarter engagements to long range ones). Halo 3 probably has the most rounded arsenal. I would also love a look at some (and goodness it would have to be only a few) of Warhammer 40k's weapons.
Mans needs a back replacement bc he’s carrying this Channel(Also I likes how he knows it’s a game and doesn’t bash the games he’s watching for unrealism like a lot of people do)
Jonathan is my favorite smallarms expert on youtube. His content recently has been right on the money.
It helps a lot that Jonathan also plays shooting games, especially older titles.
But he didn't even realize there's a gun with silver bullets in game.. it's a mediocre vid
@@cosmicseaa1119 he only knows as much as the clips that Gamespot sends to him
The rubber band on the buttstock of the "dragoon" is to keep it from collapsing, on the magpul stock it has 2 controls, one lever that allows the stock to extend and collapse and the other that locks it in place, the rubber band is around the "lock" making it very hard for stock to collapse accidentally
I absolutely love how Resident Evil doesn't take itself seriously at all, so we can get the "not realistic but I like it" takes from Jonathan
I believe Ethan only retains his magazines if they have ammo. When completely empty, he drops them. Maybe not true for every weapon, but that's what I've noticed.
He also mentioned that he received some military training from Chris at the beginning of the game
He does drop the empty ones. Where he manifests magazines from, I have no clue. Might have something to do with the story of the game. I'm not going to spoil it here.
@@cartayatama You're correct. Ethan is now well versed in all sorts of guns and combat.
Also there are silver bullets... at least... It's insinuated.
@@whizziethewise2924 I'm pretty sure that the wolf's bane uses silver bullets. It has its own ammo instead of just using the handgun rounds, suggesting that the bullets might be special.
I hope the museum has seen an increase in donations thanks to these videos, Jonathan deserves the support.
I'm surprised Rainbow Six: Siege hasn't been done yet as it has a plethora of guns to examine
I think its beacuse its not so much a fantasy shooter but a more mill sim shooter so it makes sense the guns there would be realistic and sound. So, not much point.
@@kabalanstef9636 he's done cod
I've really enjoyed this series and I'd love to see Jonathan cover the guns of The Conduit and Conduit 2. Both of those have a good assortment of real-life firearms, experimental-styled, realistic-looking firearms, and alien/energy-based weaponry. I played both a lot growing up and the gunplay always felt nice and punchy in them, particularly with the USP 45 and SPAS-12.
Personally, I'd love to see Jonathan take a look at the guns of Killing Floor. I always found the gunplay in that game to be nice and punchy, and it's got a decent assortment of fun and obscure guns (and some outright Jonathan Reaction Material in the form of stuff like the Flare Revolver), in addition to the quintessentially British setting and tone of the game that he might get a kick out of.
Man the hours I’ve clocked in on just KF/KF2. That’d be bring me some nostalgia
it's a shame we have to pay the most interesting guns in KF2 thats what killed the game
I would love to see a review on the guns in Killing floor 2, along with the reloads. Gun nerds like him would appreciate the attention to detail in that game
@@exquisitedelusion3925 Definitely, the whole game premise is centred on the gun detail and action.
Oh, yeah, KF 2 has also a good set of weapons, I'd be amazed to see his reaction on the guns from both games, he would go crazy!
Jonathan please don't ever stop bringing our fantasy worlds to the real world with your firearm knowledge these vids are always interesting!
Honestly the Gyrojet gun is probably my favorite gun in the game
I've fired the Gyrojet in real life, and its absolutely fun to fight. Literally a pistol that fires (non explosive) rockets that was made for civilians
Oh my god your so lucky. Though I’m curious, did it have a lot of recoil, if any? Since it fires little rockets and doesn’t use a normal bullet, I’m just curious.
Those are like $200 per round and the gun itself a highly collectable and starts at like $6k plus they are easy to break and the less they are fired the more they are worth but someone let you fire one?
I wonder if the confusion comes from it being ".45ACP" and the dev thinking it means the gun is full auto and not auto loading. Automatic in a 1911 meant it loaded itself.
w-what
no that's not what automatic as in a 1911,
the 1911 is a SELF LOADING pistol
you mean self loading not "automatic"
god
Im sorry but just seeing that makes me angry
also the in game gun IS full auto (you hold the left mouse button and it keeps firing)
@@jamesstien6847 automatic is widely used terminology for self loading, heck it's in the name of the round .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol). You are getting angry but you are the one that needs to study up on vocabulary.
@@jamesstien6847 um semi automatic means exactly that self loading last time i checked semi automatic still had the world ''automatic'' in it get to know the subject then u can be less angry :)
Auto has never meant self loading, you cant take a semiauto selfloading pistol and call it automatic
@@randomdude2546 wrong, it's semiauto. Not auto. You cant mix terms like that.
Please revisit Hunt: Showdown, the devs actually responded to the last of these videos on the game and made a change to one of the guns as well as showing a video of how the automatic mosin they made cycles.

3:42 they are not actually semi-auto only, the ammo is just *Very* scarce so you usually can not afford to do semi auto. Plus aiming for longer increases your accuracy and I think it does slightly increased damage as a sort of balancer for aiming for longer, but I can't recall.

@@mugoftoothpaste1507 HAHAHA! I was trying to think of the perfect example to illustrate my point. This is close to perfect.
It would be even more amazing if he proceeded to dissect the stupidity you where about to do just like reviews the guns.
The rubber band around the stock of the “Dragoon” is probably to retain a sling when not in use by the wielder, so that it doesn’t flap around. Or at least that’s what’s often done on SOPMOD stocks and a lot of other collapsible tube stocks
The spring mechanism on a lot of those stocks is tough to actuate at times so you'll see a lot tier 1 and tier 2 guys put rubber bands on them to make it easier in a pinch.
a dragoon is a black powder revolver
@@georgeownz216 It can run hotter than its regular "rifle size" load of black powder and bullet. Not with original revolving chambers of course. It is possible to shoot even more brutal way it already does. I also love the Dragoon with Spanish-style gold plating matched with a black gun and mother of pearl inlay grips. Typical and very real for the time it could be made.
@@HanSolo__ yeah they are awesome even more so the 1847 walker but he was confused and called the ak rifle a dragoon was just clarifying
I have used rangerbands to mark the proper eye relief point as well.
The second Kalashnikov comes with all those attachments, that's for the scene where you're playing as Chris Redfield and his assumedly well prepped squad of operators he's working with.
Funny that he mentions using silver bullets since the Wolfsbane actually does use them. It doesn't specify on the ammunition's description I think, but in the reload animation you can tell that the tips are much shinier and whiter than normal lead tips.
8:43 Is that type of reloading realistic or even possible?
There are no silver bullets, but you do get "Wolfsbane" ammo later on that does major damage to the lycans.
The "Wolfsbane" is a magnum that fires magnum ammo.
@@theodorehunter4765 It specifically does bonus damage to Lycan type enemies. Like the description says.
And magnum ammo can pass through enemies if they are in line.
Same with the f2 sniper and pz cannon.
I know the pistol ammo is branded as Silver Bullets but I dunno if they are actually silver or not
@@AlmaAdamAlex Not. Just normal Magnum with normal bullets. Magnum save the day in the end is traditional in resident evil game series.
Wolfsbane most definitely uses silver rounds, the ammo for that thing was really hard to find and make, it does do extra damage to the lycans in the game, is the most powerful gun in game.
8:43 Is that type of reloading realistic or even possible? Can a revolver reload one cartridge at a time while the cylinder is still in the firing position?
Every break down of these guns was awesome
This video was awesome! Thank you!
Jonathan: the Wolfsbane is my favorite
Me: A man of absolute REFINED TASTE!!
Hey we both have dinosaur profile pics
Indeed.
2:19 expression is absolutely priceless. Man, do I like seeing Jonathan react to strange things
Also the main protagonist Ethan had military training after 7, i though the reload and different animations showing that were a nice touch.
The rubberbands are commonly referred to in Military circles as "Rangerbands", and their purpose is in the case of the one on the vertical grip, to help hold the pressure switch in place, and in the case of the stock, as a way to fold and secure your sling to keep it out of the way when your rifle is not slung.
Jonathan’s reaction to the M1911 being fully automatic is hilarious.
"the keeper of firearns and artillery " would make a great video game name for a character or boss
4:44 Mr Torgue will be pleased.
great video like always!
Speaking of Warhammer 40k, would there be any chance of a breakdown of the weapons used in that universe?
as a wh40k fan, I do believe there are thousands of guns, but still, YES
He could make a video about the upcoming Necromunda game, picatinny rails aside the arsenal looks quite robust
Space Marine or the new Necromunda game might be good to cover
Nothing really to compare them to in the real world. Most futuristic thing right now with firearms is the US Army plans to introduce a new caseless ammunition. Then again, this has been tried already with the H&K G11… There are the Aimpoint rifles too, it shows you where to shoot, claims to make anybody a “sniper”. Nothing too exciting.
@@potatoman7357 It might be a shorter video but still would be interesting to see
I don’t know if he was ever shown the ammunition for the weapons in Village but most of the guns do actually have silver bullets
Side note at Jonathan..would be nice if the Gyrojet(circa 1960's/70's) was given a second look by engineers today.The possibilities are amazing with guidance and potential payloads,increased boost..
The band around the stock is a nod to the "ranger sling" technique, where you bunch your rifle sling up and tie it down to the stock with a rubber band so it doesn't get in the way. When you need the sling, just give it a yank and it'll pull free from the rubber band. Interesting touch.
I really wish that adding a sight to your gun allowed you to actually ADS in the game.
Feels kinda dumb to add a sight for it to not be used properly.
Csgo logic
but it looks "cool"
When you play as Chris he can look down the sights? When he is the secondary char he is generally a better toon than the main protag.
@@josemanoeltavaresfilho3693 In RE7's Not a Hero DLC, Chris looks down the sight when you hold the aim button. In RE8, he uses the same sort of "slight zoom" aiming as Ethan.
i mean quicker rate of fire.
i guess ethan centers the shot better and faster???
"Intended for mature audiences"
Jonathan, you should know by now that NONE of us are mature.
Went to the museum in Leeds thanks to these videos. My kids and I had a good time.
Fantastic video! I see a magnificent beast on the table.. I wish RE8 had a USAS12 in it. Its been my favorite shotgun in games since wayyyyy back in Syphon Filter 2 on PS1. How could anyone miss that beast back there?
Needless to say I was a tad distracted.
SOMEONE TELL ZACH THE GYROJET IS POPULAR NOW
Ahahaha, I had the exact same thought!!!
im glad a couple of people got my random joke
“It’s a rocket gun”
“A rocket gun?”
“Yeah, it shoots tiny rockets”
Inb4 the next gun rant episode he mentions this video
Oh my god , show this man squad. He gets so happy with weapon accurate sights and reloads , he sure is going to enjoy it
The rubber band on the stock is for stuffing a sling under to get it out of the way as well as to give a little extra support to the friction lock closing
Little comment on the rocket pistol, I was just curious the other day and decided to use the in-game photo mode to look at the projectile fired from the gun, and it does in fact have the vents on the back like the real thing. Very neat for something you can only see for a couple frames!
Also to add to the gyro jet. The closer the target the less effective the round. Its takes time to reach full speed.
Love the work the Royal Armories Museum does, if you ever get a chance to go definitely go it was such an amazing experience.
I'm surprised you didn't notice, but the Wolfsbane is also the gun that uses silver bullets! It's never directly stated, but the description of it says it's "said to be effective against werewolves," and if you watch the reload animations the bullets look silvered
3:43 it becomes fully automatic after some attachment or fire rate upgrades are obtained (can't remember which and same for the m1911, at least in the sense of holding down the fire button in game)
I love it when Johnathan smiles, he looks cheeky but awkward at the same time.
8:16 in context the reddot upgrades make a bit more sense. the RE8 combat system, as you dial in your aim the shot does more damage, so a red dot helping you dial in your aim faster would improve rate of critical shots and with more critical shots, you have a higher damage average.
so while the optic isn't directly modifying the guns functions, it does modify how effectively the player can use it.
that little trick with the stock at 3:35 was smooth as hell
Imagine if he cosplay Heisemberg while reacting its gonna be a wholesome
Nah I see him as more of a thinner Barry Burton type with the hair
He would rock Barry Burton rather well. Fancy revolver required.
The sniper rifle really surprised me. The moment I laid eyes on that bad boy I asked myself: wtf am I looking at?
I reeeeally thought it was a mishmash of different weapons and that thing actually exists hahahah
Same
I saw it and thought "Hey I just watched a video on 9 hole reviews of its practical accuracy, cool!"
surprised it wasn't a PSL tbh. perfect setting for it. literally romania.
I sure do adore watching my favorite channel JonathanSpot!
If Johnathan likes real-ish looking engraving, he should take a look at call of juarez gunslinger.
Super fun game with really nice feeling and looking weapons.
I was kinda thinking this exact thing.
I used to play that game so much when i was little
I adore these videos - Johnathan's expertise in both games and weaponry make them a joy to watch.
This series is single-handedly keeping gamespot's youtube channel alive.
the adjustable stock on the Dragoon has the rubber band because, based on its placement on the stock it would prevent one from bumping the stock to a new position by accidentally hitting the adjuster. its based on the magpul CTR
I like the tactical reloading... far to many games military sims, arcade shooters just throw them on the ground. With the ammo systems that you dont loose bullets if the mags are still nearly full it means you could build mountains of mags. Its nice to see it in more games. I want it in Ghost Recon aswell... keeping the mags rather than throwing them on the ground.
Have you played battlefield 2?
Seeing Jonathan judge Resident Evil guns while wearing an Alter Bridge shirt gives me life.
I would LOVE to see an episode done here on Johnathan’s T-shirt collection. I recently ended up buying, and massively overpaying for, a Badger Resistance t-shirt after seeing Johnathan wearing one.
Hey Jonathan. Love the videos as always. Perhaps one explanation for the odd decorated weapons (M79 being our chief culprit) would be that RE:Village takes place in a town that is seemingly under the control of an old-ish "Royal" dynasty, or at least, folks who like to pretend to be "Royal". Anyways, it's not secret that Monarchs loved lavishly decorated show piece weapons, and that tradition carried itself from swords and into Firearms.
The Gunsmith you deal with in the game perhaps serves (or did serve) these "Royals" as the modern equivalent to a Master Blacksmith. That could perhaps go on to explain some of the stranger weapons in the game.
Glad to see the UK represented! Although I would like to refer back to one particular part around the sig.... You use the term "elastic band" that was "useless" we in the *trade* call them "tactibands"
Tie up hair?
Attached important documents?
Randomly stuck to an AR?
Can a staple do that?
I thought not.
would love to see Jonathan cover Metal Gear Solid 2
The Skorpion is actually fully automatic in game, just with a very slow firerate at the start. Gets faster though the more you upgrade it.
Incredible insights as always, Jonathan! Happy that the museum is opening again. Thanks a lot for your commentary on our silly world of videogames haha
I think the reason the rubber band is on the stock of the Krinkov or what have you is because it's been used so much the mechanism for telescoping it broke, so now it's just permanently banded down. JUST realised this looking at this video
There was full auto versions of the 1911. They looked outlandish for the time but they do or did exist. Most notable is the custom built for Jon Dillinger. 1911 full auto in 38 super
Funny thing is that everybody understands drawbacks of gyrojet and almost everybody heard of it in one form or another, but apparently very few people realize that gyrojet is the ammo, not the gun. So nothing(except patent rights and high initial investment) stops one from developing two stage munitions similar with active-reactive artillery shells where prime charge works as normal firearm and shell engages its rocket motor right before leaving the barrel. Basically bolters from 40k in all their glory... which was plagiarized straight from Deathworld novel down to the .75 caliber itself:D
Suggestions for future episodes:
Payday 2
Call of Duty:zombies,specifically the wonder weapons and pack-a-punched weapons.
Shadow Warrior 1-2 reboot.
Titanfall 2.
Would love to see what he thinks of the titanfall 2 guns!!
Pack a punched weapons would literally just be the same guns but different aesthetic detail
I just love old Colt handguns the wolfsbane will most likely be my go to I just started playing and I love it so far
Very cool as always
It's implied that the Duke has done business around the village prior to the events of Resident Evil Village, so I imagine a good chunk of the weapons found around the village are from people who had bought them from the Duke prior to transforming into lycans or otherwise being killed.
Probably
