I thought Jonathan's brain was at risk of breaking with this one....
you should do cruelty squad if you think he's ready for it 👀
turns out more from how not terrible the guns are when they would have every right to...
btw, historical firearms: Assassin's Creed. 3, Syndicate and others.
You already broke him long ago. Now he is adapting to your shenanigans. lol
Please react to Arena Breakout, Jonathan would've loved it
69th week of asking for Bullet Girls Phantasia episode (though he won't be ready next week), and 45th week of asking for a Loadout on games (not) keeping track of the round in the chamber between reloads (+1ing)
The story goes that they hired an asset artist whose part time job was a Konbini cashier that he really likes guns in general.
So we're thinking they made them specifically for this game? Because I know they famously asset flipped their previous games and it wouldn't surprise me if that's why they're so detailed and yet incongruent with everything else. But if they actually did make them in house then kudos!
It's a sub studio. Not the main studio.@@Salamandaa
What's a konbini?
@gamesdeen3768 a corner store type shop, I believe.
@@Salamandaathe cashier dude posts realistic gun animation he made for fun on twitter, so yes they picked up an experienced artist and probably just used his normal work. Standing out so much makes it more hilarious when you see it in game too.
I want to say that The Grizzbolt wielding a minigun is "realistic." as it has both the strength and electrical charge necessary to carry the weapon and power the rotary.
... huh.
That makes sense.
I mean... it has paws rather than hands which is unlikely be able to operate a minigun.
What about the magazine that's definitely running dry less than 10 seconds of firing?
@@ianchoi7142 have you calculated how much ammo he can store in his bussy?
@@ianchoi7142 Miniguns can be electrically-fired (like those in gun pods and such), so not having opposable thumbs isn't too much of a problem if the pal has electric powers.
@@ianchoi7142 The minigun does not have a trigger, it has one handle actuator that works as trigger.
Also... my issue is with size and recoil.
It should be smaller and have a hilarious amount of recoil.
the thing the surprises me the most of the guns in Palworld is the trigger disciple of the characters. Their finger is never on the trigger unless you are firing. Lovely add from the game devs.
what you get when the animator love guns
One fun consequence: the game itself almost universally has much better gun safety than the fanart, which sounds backwards to me.
that's something I realized with the crossbow. meanwhile, in RDR2, a game that's much more realistic that PalWorld, when cleaning a pistol or short-barrel shotgun, the finger is on the trigger. lol smh
@@lonestar2078rdr2 was set in the wild west, so...
@@lonestar2078trigger discipline's certainly doesn't exist in the wild west era, so yeah of course they don't implement that.
new meaning to the AKM, we now have the AK-Monkey
I thought it was just a reference to the classic meme of a Chimp firing an AK.
@@keegantripp1245 If you consider promotional content (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) a "classic meme" ツ
We already have those in the inner-cities.
This Kong has a GUN.
the more violent version of the Trunk Monkey?
Jonathan: "Why did you shoot your animal friend out of that Rocket Launcher?"
Dave: "Because you can" 🤣
The game needs a fully automatic, belt fed, rotating barrel poodle gun that shoots toy poodles and they give a little yap when each round is fired.
And if we can WE DO
There is still the open topic of silencers in Postal 2....
Because the actual rocket launchers aren't for another 25 levels.
They had already reminded me of prinny from Disgaea before getting the launcher, but afterwards I knew they were inspired by them.
If memory serves, devs basically hired some dude who was making gun reload animations on youtube. And those guys DO know their stuff and they are very creative about it
like fr, i was stunned when this game has better trigger discipline than most games out there
said guy was at the time working in a convenience store because the devs could not find anyone in Japan that know shooter games and found him by pure chance.
also said guy was self taught.
@@jet6283 I wouldn’t be surprised if they had made better gunplay than the most popular titles.
can you give me the name of the handsome fella
@@aoooso6000 Kommander Karl?
tbh if the pengullet would wear a steel helmet as "protection" it would just turn him into a fragmentation warhead
Viking helmet for fragmentation, bike helmet for armour piercing
I fail to see the issue.
Wouldn't it turn him into a HEAT round instead?
More of an APHE round.
@@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 APHEP, Armor Piecing High Explosive Penguin.
Funnily enough, Jonathan was on the nose with the monkey AK. The gun *is* actually an item you specifically make for it to use.
I was thinking the same thing when he said that, you cant even make human sized AKs in the game (yet)
Must be a reference to that planet of the apes ad where the guys gave a monkey an ak and it started shooting.
@@ZeallustImmortalyet 😉🙂 (I'm hoping for more weapon options too)
@@JAdg75oo00 Hoping we get more guns and more melee options personally
Palworld is such a weird combo of good detail mixed with batshit insane fundamental design.
Designs too, some are really good and others are barely one step away from a lawsuit, wish they changed verdash design for example, the game is really good, it doesn't need the almost ripoff designs
None of the pals resemble pokemon more than pokemon resemble monsters from dragon quest. Look into it so you can stop talking about it
@@94DEATHSOUL94 I wish they changed Verdash's design, but not because it's too similar to the pokemon. Because the pokemon and verdash both look terrible, lol. Of all the ones they could choose to make their legally distinct version, why did they choose that as one of them?
@@94DEATHSOUL94 The designs are as original and unique as pokemon designs are to begin with. The capture mechanic is more of a direct copy but it's been established that concepts like that fall outside of copyright law anyway. As long as they don't look like pokeballs or call them pokeballs it's fair game. Nothing in the game is particularly original, but it's a unique combination of concepts and relatively well assembled given the size of its budget and it being in early access for an appropriate early access price.
The company nearly go bankrupt and forced to only release 60% contents as Early Access.
You can say this is the "Final" Fantasy Palworld.
Small detail: the Pengullet WANTS to be shot. In its description, it's stated that Pengullets have lost all feathers (except for the single thingy on their head) but still remember that they're birds, and would do ANYTHING to fly again. Even become the payload for a rocket launcher.
Basically, the player is doing a solid to a bunch of waterfowl with a deathwish.
The dark humour in this game is off the charts.
Do not forget that with the right training, attributes and/or traits, the Pengullet can actually SURVIVE the projection and be right in the action continuing to assist.
Stack many of the damage reduction properties, and the Pengullet used as ammunition can continue to be an asset even after the big bang! Once the skill cooldown elapses, you can do it again!
“That green thing looks very happy…he also has an AK” 😂
“Happiness is a warm gun!”
if you read the paldeck info on tanzee its very unhinged
a more scientific mind could assume these two points are provably related
@@jaysuscrass9119 monkey sees AK.
*neuron activation *
I mean how can you not be happy when firing an AK.
The gun animations in this game were made by a self-taught hobbyist, who was a part-time convenience store worker. The team found him on twitter. Impressive.
So the game is made by part time workers
@BirdBoxAdobo pretty much just a gigantic portfolio for almost everyone involved. Noone involved with project was even relatively experienced compared to other developer teams. It's kind of neat to see a bunch of greenhorn developers knock the socks off of almost every other studio
@@BirdBoxAdoboThe game started development with a $10k budget. Though of course, they ended up using a lot more than that budget, theyd have gone bankrupt if it didnt sell well.
@@ZeallustImmortal the funniest part of the whole story was the ceo saying "we are going to work on this until we are two weeks from going bankrupt, then we will release it." And that's why it came out out of nowhere in the middle of january
@@AStandsForFrenchsomehow very similar to Square Enix's salvation, Final Fantasy. If FF didnt succeed, SE would have gone under, lending to the franchise's name.
You should have told him some nuances about the game, such as the fact that it takes you around 10 hours to get a musket but around 3 hours to get the Monkey the AKM.
Under the 2nd Amendment, the bears should be instantly armed.
@@charlesherbig4502hell yeah
@@charlesherbig4502 well not instantly, but they do get grenade launchers
That mostly feels like early access weirdness. Some stuff is pushed further down the tech tree than it should be to get people hooked earlier and because otherwise the early game is a bit barren.
@@charlesherbig4502Very good comment, i felt a like wouldnt show my appreciation enough
"...he should have a little helmet like a human cannon ball". If the dev red this, I'm 100% they gonna do that helmet for the penguin or the other thing, you know... a HUMAN Cannon Ball.
now that i've heard it, I can not go on without thinking about it
I REALLY hope they do this, that would be awesome
pengullets had helmets in the original game trailer, so I can see them adding it back in after this
Helmet adding like 5% chance for a Pengullet to not faint after launch, effectively giving 5% change to double the ammo, would actually be very nice.
The PalWorld Devs on a lunch break one day, “Right we’re winging this thing with Pals w/ Guns what should be the most accurate thing in game?”
Someone who may or may not be Dave mimicking Jonathan’s voice in the Dev room closet, “MAKE THE GUNS ACCURATE.”
Honestly, after watching the fidelity and working action of some of these guns while playing, I was indeed excited to see Jonathan review these guns.
The lever gun and double barrel shotgun are some of my favourites in this game.
@@PewPew_McPewster I don't like using it because of how slow it is. But the Musket reload animation is a lot smoother than I've ever seen in a game that wasn't a colonial era sim such as Holdfast: Nations at War
Fun fact: the devs didn't know what to do for the guns, so they ended up finding a guntaku working at a convenience store who was very into guns. They hired him to do the guns.
Which is a kind of genius in itself. If you don't know how to do something, find someone who does, and leave them alone to do it.
:D Guntaku is a brilliant Word
@@pixymisa8087 Yes, don't have the CEO coming in with the idea that since he's got a lot of money all his ideas must be great at making more money, just have some guy who is interested in what he does doing it.
"That Green Thing has an AK!"- Jonathan Ferguson, the Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum 2024
Can we get that on a tee shirt?
someone should link that video of an actual Money whit a AK shooting it.
Also now I had a dumb 1 april sugestion. the Movie Who killed Captain Alex.
Same energy as the "Is that a monkey? HE'S GOT A GUN!" Panel from Hellboy
@@Zack_Wester THIS IS HOW WE DO ACTION IN UGANDA!
He missed the Mossanda grenade launcher 😢
Same could have been said at the Russian invasion of crimea.
Something I just noticed is that the end of the barrel for the makeshift handgun tilts up when the slide is pulled back. Which is an insane little detail I don't think I've seen in any other game!
It's definitely a thing in other games, it's just that those games revolve around being realistic... There's also the fact that the handguns in this game are MASSIVE so you notice details like that even if you aren't looking for it lol
They hired a great gun hobbyists ive heard
I'm a little sad Jonathan didn't react to the character thumbing the bolt release on the AR. :P
It is always good news when you hear "more detail than needed" when describing flavor details of a component of a game.
Jon having a black cat named "Cobweb" is the most precious thing.
"ok so that green thing has an AK... and its quite happy about it as well" sounds very scary if you dont know the context.
but then you learn the context and it doesnt get much less scary
P.s.
Me looking at the Relaxaurus footage: "ay, that thing actually attacks like you would expect a Pokemon to! finally a Pal without a Gun~"
Relaxaurus: *pulls out 2 rocket pods out of thin air, absolutely blasting the opponent out of existance*
Me: "oh. my. god."
That was my thought as well.
Finally a Pokémon attacking like a Poké... ROCKET BARRAGE INCOMING!!!
One thing that I'd like to point out about the pengullet launcher. If the pengullet has high enough stats through level or traits, it survives the explosion and will run back to the player and can be fired again.
They want to fly, and this is the only way. Let them live their dreams.
I think this was patched. It was when the pal had a defensive trait, the game was not calculating the correct damage to deal to the pal when it exploded.
oh wait, mine is a lucky trait, and he always survive, i havent shoot a pengu out of a launcher for a while, i would try to see the outcome tonight.
Not sure how intentional it was, but grizzbolt being an electric type is great considering a minigun needs electricity to function.
Not ALL of them do. In fact, the fastest firing ones ever made, are purely mechanical.
@@user-xu2pi6vx7o The early *gatling* guns are mechanical yes. All modern gatlings though, especially the M134 Minigun, are electric.
@@StrikeNoir105E No, I'm not talking about the early ones.
I'm talking about the GSh family of miniguns of which the GSh-6-23, which is purely mechanical, has a (claimed) firing rate of 10000 rpm.
The GAU-19 exists, depending on version it has either 3 or 6 barrels, which would give more legitimacy to Grizzbolt's gun.
@@user-xu2pi6vx7oWell, if you can do without the fire control system. Also, the GSh-6-23 got effectively retired due to performance issues, no?
Didn't expect Jonathan to review Palworld but here we are! Suprised to see Jonathan gets surprised on how he thinks that the guns in Palworld is quite good and realistic. Seems like that gun enthusiast guy did a good job xD
Youve finally broken Johnathon. Fully on board with launching a penguin from a backwards karl gustav , he just needs a little helmet. Im dead.
Add a helmet and it can now be a HEAT round!
Jonathan demanding PPE for the penguin being launched is so weirdly wholesome xD
Dino Riders. . .I haven't thought of that show in decades. Loved it as a kid. They put out some decent toys IIRC.
Yeah, I had those toys! They were great (for the early 90s).
Was not expecting this one, but I'm here for it!
No one is safe from Palworld, not even Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history.
It will be more terrifying if the penguin screams towards it's target.
remember Angry Birds? this is him now
feel old yet?
@@elinelai1891 More like, crying birds
It should scream "DOOOOOOOD!" as it goes flying through the air
@@TAMAMO-VIRUS That kind of works; at the least the penguin shouldn't sound angry or sad or frightened. After all, they enjoy the sensations of flight so much they're eager to get shot out of a launcher.
@@DanaOtken It's a preference to Prinny, a type of penguin that usually got launched like a missle
Okay, I'm almost a bit impressed by myself here, since I recognised the "single shot rifle" as a dropping block rifle just from seeing it briefly in the hands of the player character.
I don't even work with firearms!
Loved the video. I haven't played the game myself, and the people I've watched play it haven't gotten any of the more advanced weapons yet.
When I first built the handgun in the game, I was like, "Holy-moly, is that a Browning Hi Power scaled up to take .500 S&W?!"
Now I feel like someone needs to make a semi-auto chambered in .500 S&W (if they haven't already).
Why? Because why not? That's why. The 'Murica in my veins demands it, lol!
The issue is length of the cartridge - unless having magazine before trigger like broomhandle, you'll have real hard time trying to wrap your fingers around the grip. Even deagle is already quite hard to grab...
@@depressedTrent Besides the Broomhandle style, a side-feed magazine like a STEN or a top-feed like an FN P90 would be doable. It would make for a bulky and scifi looking pistol.
Top feed because why not.
"Did I see you cutting down trees with an assault rifle?!"
"Yeh."
What a world indeed, gentlemen.
As the founding fathers intended
Hey, as long as it works..
Just noticed on the "1911" that, while reloading, the barrel actually pivots upwards properly.
Neat attention to detail.
At 3:52, the barrel of the pistol tilts when the slide is locked back, as expected of a 1911 pistol. A detail nobody would miss if it weren’t present, but they put it in anyway. That’s some Tarkov level attention to detail.
3:54 is Jonathan-ese for "I'm in awe at the size of this lad. absolute unit"
"Because you can" should be Palworld's slogan.
So much you can do, so much you shouldn't do.
The story of them developing the shooting mechanics is crazy
When Palworld has trigger discipline 😳
I just realized that grizzbolt can be his own minigun's battery
The devs attention to detail is pretty wild. You wouldn't think so at a glance, but it's clear that a lot of effort has gone into the game. The pals animations are varied and well done and the weapons are well designed, except for some creative liberty here and there.
I was shocked that this video was actually fun to watch. I thought it was going to be one of those "It's not realistic" videos complaining about things being unrealistic. Games are all about fun. This video was fun. Well done.
Jonathan is fantastic as always but I’m loving the consistently growing banter with Dave. Amazing work as always keep it up
Maybe the two cocking handles on the pump action shotgun (bolt carrier and pump grip) were inspired by the Franchi SPAS-12?
The Benelli M3 also has that feature and looks closest to what is in the game.
That’s what I was thinking. He’s handled the Spas-12, no clue why he made that comment knowing full well there are ones with both.
@@theiceisnice Yeah fair, could've been that. SPAS 12 was just the first that came to mind when I heard 'two charging handles'.
Yet the spas 12 is both pump and semi. Jonathan's right that there would be no point to a bolt handle for a pump only shotgun.
@@jojomaster7675 Yeah, I thought so too after our friend here mentioned the Benelli M3 for example. I just kinda spat out SPAS-12 because it came to mind, first, so I apologize. Byeah, you're absolutely right that it's redundant on a pump only system.
They even got the tilting barrel in the "1911" reload. Solid effort.
I just want to repeat that the addition of more Jonathan-Dave banter is awesome and I love it!
The idea that the Pengullet having a helmet when shoved into a rocket launcher sounds so cute and hilarious. Devs, add this!
Would've never expected this game to get covered here, this was hilarious!
Jonathan killed it with that Helmet idea!! They better add it!
The Pengullets are basically Prinnies. I love it
Never expected them to do this game, very pleasant surprise!
2:13 I remember in the 6th grade my class spent a weekend at a civil war era military barracks and did fake military drills and got to fire unloaded muskets.
On the first day one of the girls left her thumb where the hammer slammed down and had to have it wrapped for the rest of the trip.
Would be awesome to see Johnathan react to the weapons from the FEAR games.
"This shotgun is based of a Heckler&Koch CAWS. Unfortunately we have none in our collection".
Loved the banter between Dave and Jonathan this time round, great episode!
By far the heaviest marketing of this game is on the firearms, even if they are a very tiny proportion of what's in it or what you actually do in the game. Kind of genius to be honest making it such a sensation in the public eye.
Shooting guns gets more important as you hit late game since your personal DPS with them starts eclipsing your Pals, especially when riding a Pal that gives your personal attacks elemental damage (read: up to 50% more raw damage and adds elemental affinity).
YES he remembered Dino Riders! I was a big fan of that cartoon series as a kid (we didn't have the toys sold here).
I am 100% in agreement that the penguin missile needs a tiny adorable helmet.
Also I'm pretty sure that the AKs are in fact designed and built specifically for the monkeys, because your player character can't wield them, and they're assembled on different workbenches using a different part of the tech tree.
The fact that you guys genuinely seem like friends (or just have good chemistry/shared interests) makes these such a joy to watch.
Of all the games to get a musket right, its friggin Palworld.
I realized that museum curators such as Mr Ferguson are actually the people that can handle any firearm not some special forces operatives. Who else can show how to reload anything from a musket to H&K MP5?
you seem to have forgot mossandas grenade launchers, I was hoping to see him react to the sheer size of them.
Ok, I now need the cat tax of Cobweb, Jonathan Ferguson the Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history.
3 Japanese guys in an alley made the goofy game millions of people wanted, and that's great.
The penguin exploding may or may not be a Disgaea reference, there is an enemy/ally unit called Prinny that explodes when you throw them, also say dood at the end of every sentence dood
Edit spelling and forgot to mention Prinnies look sort of like blue penguins and are confirmed to be sinning humans post mortem
DOOD!
it could also reference the "learn to fly" flash games, given how pengullet's only aspiration is to fly
I appreciate how the 1911 even depicts the tilting barrel. Have to wonder if the holes in the slide are intentionally there to draw attention to it.
I guess Dave wanted an excuse to play Palworld hehe
And now I need a break from it hahah
@@IrregularDave[IrregularDave is on a Short Break]

I've been loving Palworld and for quite an unknown studio the weapons feel pretty nice to fire
The development team wanted to add guns to appeal more to western markets, but they had trouble finding people with knowledge of both guns AND making and animating game models in Japan.
They eventually found someone posting videos of their own reload animations they were making for fun on social media and got to work on tracking them down, they eventually found him working part time in a convenience store and asked him to come work for them.
On the double-barrel shotgun, when one shot is fired you can see one hammer has snapped forward and the other remains cocked. That's some real nice attention to detail.
Kudos to the animators, hopefully they watch the video and take notes. Having the penguin with a helmet while being loaded up would be a great idea
I was thinking this would come out soon.
Of all the games to cover here this is not one I was expecting, amazing =D
The gun of the pal on the char's head actually reminds me of one of the assault rifles from Hellgate: London. Still have my physical copy lol
Honestly Jonathan Ferguson makes these videos a must watch. So entertaining.
18:15
I love how he acknowledged what gun he should have brought and decides to show off
was not expecting you to review a gun from this game, but still fun to watch and listen.
11:09 I would say the assault rifle looks closer to a 5.56 FN SCAR than an AR-18.
It's got the ugg boot SCAR stock, but the rest seems pretty different
For me it's giving BREN 2
Pushing as always for you guys to have Jonathan cover Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and to cover the M8 and MRI Caseless specifically as well.
I have been posting for you to do this in every video a year back now.
always love these uploads
yea i noticed that
the guns felt weirdly good looking for such a silly game, its dope
Love this. You guys gotta do more wacky gun reactions.
Those launchers on the blue dinosaur reminded a little bit of the rocket pods humvees or a striker can mount and also some international design APCs have on them sometimes.
Another small detail I like with the musket in game is how the powder ignites in the flash pan first before the round is fired.
I didn’t k ow how badly I needed this
his reaction to the guns and handling pretty much matched mine. It's surprisingly thoughtful considering the nature of the game. there are a handful of funky bits, but otherwise surprisingly well thought out. It is a shockingly strange game.
I was wondering if Jonathan would be able to show us anything new while talking about a pretty standard set of weaponry, but he pulled out 3 really cool and interesting guns I don't think we've seen on the show before. Pretty awesome!
I would love to see Jonathan play palworld! His reactions to seeing the Pal's working was too funny!
I legit thought of Dino-Riders as well and I'm SO glad to see I'm not alone in remembering that series. We NEED that in a game form.
I didnt expect Jonathan reacting to the guns of palworld, but still relevant and make sense since the guns show real world counterparts
I miss hitting up this gem of a place whenever I was at Leeds Dock!
Alright cobweb is actually a good name for cat
I've never seen any mainstream recognition of Dino Riders. I loved that as a kid. Jonathan can not be cooler!
its a wild game, so many ideas mashed togather, and somehow the devs made it work.
I always love to see muskets in games, especially when they at least try to do the reload. Might be because the first firearm I ever got to fire was a musket.
I'm so happy this video exists.
Such a wild and fun game
Has Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, ever done any videos reacting to the various weapons of the Saints Row series?
Hearing Jonathan mention Dino Riders made my day. I feel so happy now.
Jonathan giving a call out to Dino Riders was peak crossover between guns, games, toys and dinosaurs. ❤
