I'm once again suggesting Killing Floor 2, it has some taste of actual guns with also crazy wacky stuff and also has that British humor to it so I'm sure Johnathan would love it.
Yeah still pushing for Killing floor 2 as well like the guns have a lot of detail in them and some are real while some are really wacky and cool! Think it would be perfect for this format!
KF2 would be absolutely cool in the line of Jonathan videos here, I'd love to see his take on the impressive circular muzzle flashes from the Deagles in particular
6:11 I started playing this game and I just noticed how the shells on the side of the shotgun disappear as if the character actually using them and not just a gun design. Pretty interesting
@@coolcat-nq4mj yea it is. keep in mind that the game is developed by Riot Games. they only have developed League of Legends before, which is graphically not very complex and mobile games. they still have to prove they can deliver a visual quality product.
10:00 Right now, the Laugo Alien does exactly that, with both the front and rear sights on a top strap that is fixed to the frame while the slide reciprocates underneath it. It's a laughably expensive gun, but I don't know of any others that do that neat concept.
The first of something is always extremely expensive. Gotta get value from the R&D with the patent. FWIW, it seems to be exceptionally accurate from accounts I've heard.
ARES looks a bit like HK21. Also there are rifles like Henry long ranger and Browning LAR that shoot traditional spritzer cartridges and yet are lever action. They do look similar to the one in the game all be it they have box magazines and not the tube one. I wonder how French Lebel rifle got around the issue
The lebel got around it by having ammunition in a triangular shape the whole length down so when they lay flat the tip of the bullet would rest at the bottom of of the next bullets casing
Spectre is literally a SIG MPX with a MP5 front end and charging handle. The Sheriff is a bit like the Chiappa Rhino with a Taurus Raging Hunter barrel. If one observers enough it's easy to see from where the weapons take their design features.
The French redesigned the 8mm Lebel to have sort of a ring shaped dent around the primer, so the bullet tip of the cartridge behind stick to the dent not the primer, this works as the 8mm Lebel is a very tapered cartridge.
Yes, perhaps if he was more familiar with lever action rifles, he would have noticed that there was not a tube magazine running underneath the barrel, so it was an internal box magazine, and using pointed tip cartridges would not be an issue.
There are so many cool and interesting weapon skins that completely change the look and feel of the guns. Would love to see Jonathan react to some of the wilder ones.
The valorant guns are interesting. I think the point about pattern recognition was very astute. Because every gun in valorant seems to take inspiration from 2 - 4 real life guns in it's category, and slams them all together. Using general shapes or details to make a new but somehow very familiar weapon.
There's some definite Deagle influence in the Ghost. But the back half, especially the angle of the grip, also remind me of a .22 sporting pistol, like a Colt Woodsman or a Browning Buckmark. And it seems to be ejecting quite small shell casings, which would be in line with that.
@@johanmetreus1268 The general design seems to lift a lot from the Deagle (size difference notwithstanding), but yeah as soon as I saw the slide operation the Alien was the first thing I thought of. It has to be the Alien, I don't think there's another pistol with a non-reciprocating upper part of the slide?
@@KillahMate Forgotten weapons had some old clockspring operated pistol, but other than that I come up blank.... none of the more widespread pistols at least.
I'd love to see Jonathan's take on the foundry weapons from Destiny 2. Like the rugged Häkke weapons or the Omolon rifles with their strange modular appearance.
7:55 the rounds are in the carrier like that for loading purposes. the round that is pulled down goes directly in the chamber and the other rounds go in the tube magazine.
Yesssss, finally. I've been requesting to see Jonathan's reactions to most of the arsenal of this. As a side note, from what I can gather, the Marshal is technically a mishmash of a lever action with the Scout from CS.
Would you like to make reactions to the weapons from futuristic COD titles? It'll be cool to hear Jonathan for analyzing some of fictional weaponry that inspired by existing firearms.
@@Pelmedeeznuts half the guns in IW weapons at launch were modern or ww2 weapons, then a quarter were the same, but creeblies added. Seriously, there's 3 m1 garands with ever increasing amount of random assets thrown at them. The original designs are mostly just bad and not worth talking about (aside from the special weapons). The dlc weapons were a step in right direction, but still not good.
1:33 I think that's meant to be a polymerized Ultimax 100. That gun can be fired quite easily from the shoulder in full auto due to it's constant recoil system.
As othias has pointed out numerous times: spitzer bullets in tube mags rarely lead to chain detonations. Especially if the round is rimmed (can't see if it is in this case) because the angle in which the bullet rests usually points it downwards. Add hard primers to that and it's basically a nonexistent issue
@@ayyyyph2797 they absolutely would. Problem is, for something you usually get as hollow points (like pistol rounds) it doesn't really matter and if you want military cartridges as hollow points, the Hague would like to have a little talk with you...
My great uncle (deceased) has a lever action rifle that he won in a turkey hunting competition, never been fired before. Not sure if he would be willing to give it away but I’ll see if he REALLY wants a more modern-ish lever rifle
A video on Warframe could be cool, if the selection of guns is good (some of them are just space magic, but some are very interesting). Also Generation Zero might be an interesting wild card, some interesting systems there to take a look at (it also has an MP5 so he'd probably like that)
I just realized the shells on the side of the Bucky disappears depending on how much ammo you have, such a small detail that’s so cool when you notice it
That was a great video! Now that I've heard Jonathan speak, I realize this is probably how Chamber would sound if he references guns for his weapon designs and it's cool to imagine.
6:10 Roadhog's Scrap Gun from Overwatch has a similar Alt-fire mode to this. As a matter of fact I'd love to see him look at the weapons from Overwatch.
That one pistol that has the desert eagle barrel looks to have a Hudson H9 grip/frame, and the lever action looks like a Winchester Wildcat 22lr with a lever loop stuck on it. The AK thing at the end looks more like a Galil Ace than anything, which Jonathan made a light comparison despite having 90% a matching silouette.
I’d like to see Jonathan give his impressing on some of the guns of killing floor 2, I feel like they’ve done a great job on how they sounds and feel in the game
The stock on the Ghost is a lever-action variant of the Winchester Wildcat, a . semiautomatic in .22LR. Very much a modern woods/camp rifle. I'd link images, but RUclips isn't friendly toward such things and a quick Google search will turn up plenty.
Here's an idea: guns of the Receiver series! Not only are they all real guns, but they're so detailed and functional that I think Jonathan could really nerd out over them.
Seeing him react to the weapons from deep rock galactic would be interesting I've found their designs to be quite realistic for the universe they are set in, and they even do have some hints towards actual weapons like M1000 being a futuristic version of garand
Both of bucky's firing type can be done at any ranges. Usually the single pellet is used for long range and the alternate fire with multiple pellets are for short range, like a normal shot gun.
4:50 Marshal Or the cartridge has a milled in ring at the bottom in which the tip of the next projectile can catch. Like in a Lebel model 1886 tube magazine with the later pointed projectile 8x50mm. However, I suspect that would also require some sort of case adjustment in order to move the projectile tip away from the primer of the cartridge loaded in front of it.
5:36 I have a Winchester model 1894 and it actually has a similar setup to that, the locking block comes up behind the bolt and it has a small floating pin that transfers energy from the hammer to the actual firing pin on the bolt
I’ve always thought the ghost is vaguely similar to the 10mm pistol from the fallout series. Both have the big ol’ desert eagle slide with some chunk at the bottom that bears a resemble to the H&K MK23
the ghost is like the hybrid of Mauser C96 and USP-45 the visual looks like mauser meanwhile the mechanic and the suppressor reminds me of the usp, pretty amazing that they were able to implement a memorable gun
The Laugo Alien has a similar sight design to the Ghost, in that the rear sight does not move as the slide reciprocates. On the Alien the sides of the slide reciprocates but the upper portion with the sight/optic is non-reciprocating. Allows the shooter easier ability to stay on/acquire targets between shots.
Right. The S&W Victory pistol line also has a similar sighting arrangement. Buck Mark pistol as well. Both are .22 target guns. In fact a decent amount of .22 target pistols are similar in design now that I think about it. The Alien is a somewhat rare one for center fire though.
opening up the sight makes it prone to mechanical failure but it would help it protect the projecting lens and possibly prevent going off 0 zero depending on how the projector works anyway, would love to see him talk about some gears of war guns especially since they are all so very short ranged in their effectiveness
for info, the Ghost (the silenced pistol) is based on its CSGO equivalent, the USP45 with a silencer attached to it, which is the real life gun.The Desert Eagle inspired both the Deagle from cs and the Sheriff from val
0:45 this sort of looks like a g3 with a charging handle on the left side of the receiver. plus an ar15 pistol grip (which is recycled for a forward grip) and a handguard and barrel that reminds me a lot of the arx 160. 5:46 mostly looks like a mossberg 500-series with some strange muzzle device for some reason 8:06 i thought this looked more like a usp at first, but i do agree that it looks more like a deagle upon further inspection. plus the rear sight and slide grooves take influence from the m1911 10:19 this has obvious design cues from the acr (the ambidextrous mag release and bolt catch) plus a scar-influenced 7.62x51mm magazine. also, that stock sort of looks like a g3 polymer stock? 12:01 cut and dry a kalashnikov, however there's a lot of stuff going on the receiver. obviously it has the left-handed charging handle, and the pistol grip is highly based off of the vz 58. the magazine, judging by the curve, is a 7.62x39mm, however in my opinion the mag release lever thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense based off of how the receiver is. i personally feel that a button mag release would be more ideal. also the brake is mostly an ak74 one, and the gas block mounted sight is taken from the galil. 13:58 by the barrel length, this looks like some kind of aks74u or akmsu, something like that. also, judging by the deepness and punchiness of its firing, it's most likely a 7.62
“Highly cosmetic safety on top of the action”…. Mossberg pattern shotguns must not make their way across the pond much me thinks….. 😅 Just teasing, Jonathan! Thanks for all you do!
speaking of the shotgun with the shell carrier, in The Darkness 2, the shotgun holder is actually used when youre running out of shells, it is the only game i can think of that does depict this
Would be really cool if Jonathan made a video on *METAL GEAR SOLID 3* weapons. So many weapons in that game to comment on like the patriot, the EZ gun, Snake's M1911, Ocelot's SAA and Eva's chinese mauser clone. Want to know your take on the Boss disassembling Snake's 1911 without removing the slide stop and many many more...
First gun, the Lmg, seems to be modeled after a lengthened Swiss arms or Sig 552/556 with Sligh variations. Stock and forend shape, receiver shape, even the drum style sights.
For this one, I think it may have been relevant to note which Counter Strike gun each Valorant gun is based on (as Valorant very closely emulates most of the CS weapons). The lever action is the Steyr Scout The suppressed pistol is the USP The Operator is the AWM (famously misnamed in CS as the AWP...get it? awp ->op (operator) Vandal is the AK etc etc. It's notable in this context especially in how the Valorant weapons were visually differentiated while keeping similar game mechanics (for example, using a lever action instead of the steyr scout to make it look and feel more distinct from the AWM/operator)
I think one issue with the concept of holographic sights that would potentially make them somewhat unlikely to ever be implemented is the matter of lighting. I reckon that they might be rather difficult to see in bright daylight on one hand (after all, it is basically a bit like a three-dimensional projector and there's a reason the lights in a room usually get dimmed if someone uses a projector) and at the same time, it might be a bit too conspicuous in the dark. Plus, they'll need some kind of power source. Ironsights are just physical objects that you can use, but a holographic sight would require not only an electronic device that would probably be more likely to break than simple iron sights, but also probably a small battery somewhere that could run out.
looking at the silhouette of the phantom I get instant reminders of a specific firearm called Beretta Cx4 Storm, especially the chassis towards the barrel
I think the BioShock games would make for great content: the weapons from 1 & 2 have a lot of bizarre upgrades that would definitely be fun to break down, and Infinite's early 20th century setting has a lot of cool designs that I'd love to see explored in depth.
Roadhog's shrapnel gun in Overwatch has a similar Alt-fire to this shotgun where it travells as a slug for a short distance before splitting back into a spread pattern
Ares: kinda looks Ultimax inspired. And seeing as it's a constant recoil system, it would be slightly more controllable that the game actually portrays. Marshal: Could be based on a Savage 99 or a Browning BLR, but neither of those use a King's loading gate. It's wacky but believable. Bucky: pump gun, simple as. Has a Mossberg safety but a Remington lifter and slide release. Ghost: I'm seeing Hubdon 9 in the dust cover, Desert Eagle in the barrel, and SW Victory in the grip, with an FN509 magazine release. The suppressor would work, but it's giving up a lot of internal volume by being a prism instead of a cylinder. It's physically realistic but the market would never support it. Phantom: again with the triangular prism. It does look like they were inspired by the SIlencerCo Osprey. Vandal: Kalashikov means QBZ-191? Stocks based on a Magpul MOE Rifle Stock.
The Ghost seems to be visually closer to the Browning Buck Mark, specifically the UDX and URX versions, and especially the URX with the top rail removed.
To address the concerns around iron sights my personal theory is that it’s a similar reason as fighter jets have guns they will occasionally be needed (if the HUD explaining thing in game fails it would be needed
Amazing, I’m so glad he covered, this hope part two will cover some of the skins like guardian skin that looks like an m1 garland. Also maybe some of the melees but idk weather that fits in with Johnathan expertise. But a lot of them fit in well with royal armour museums collection
You guys should do an episode or 3 on "State of Decay 2". It has hundreds of pistols, rifles, shotguns, and explosive launchers. Their are many different weapons such as a "prepper's" .22LR rifle with a Drum Mag, A modified AK that takes Helical magazines, The FBI's modified BAR, and many many more.
One game that at some point needs to be on here is Killing Floor (2). The game has a great variety of real and science-fiction guns, with good models and different animations for reloading etc. Rising Storm 2 was made by the same devs and already gave a taste of the level of quality to Jonathan, I'm sure he could say a lot about it.
If I ever get the chance to visit London or the UK at all, i will try to make some time for your museum, always been intrigued by guns so i love this show! 😁👍
PLEASE show Johnathan the Infantry ghost skin and the mage punk ghost skin. So that he can share my frustration on why the mage punk animation reloads like the Luger but not the Infantry (which mostly resembles it) doesn’t
The weapons from Wolfenstein are pretty nuts while also being inspired by real ww2 weapons.
not only ww2
Been asking for this for months now!!! Wolfenstein and Killzone!!!

Love you Jonathan! ❤
There is a "small desert eagle" the Jericho 941, but the the rear sight tracker looks more like a Browning Buckmark which is a .22lr
The mullet analogy was perfect!
for info, the Ghost (the silenced pistol) is based on its CSGO equivalent, the USP45 with a silencer attached to it, which is the real life gun.The Desert Eagle inspired both the Deagle from cs and the Sheriff from val
0:45 this sort of looks like a g3 with a charging handle on the left side of the receiver. plus an ar15 pistol grip (which is recycled for a forward grip) and a handguard and barrel that reminds me a lot of the arx 160.
5:46 mostly looks like a mossberg 500-series with some strange muzzle device for some reason
8:06 i thought this looked more like a usp at first, but i do agree that it looks more like a deagle upon further inspection. plus the rear sight and slide grooves take influence from the m1911
10:19 this has obvious design cues from the acr (the ambidextrous mag release and bolt catch) plus a scar-influenced 7.62x51mm magazine. also, that stock sort of looks like a g3 polymer stock?
12:01 cut and dry a kalashnikov, however there's a lot of stuff going on the receiver. obviously it has the left-handed charging handle, and the pistol grip is highly based off of the vz 58. the magazine, judging by the curve, is a 7.62x39mm, however in my opinion the mag release lever thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense based off of how the receiver is. i personally feel that a button mag release would be more ideal. also the brake is mostly an ak74 one, and the gas block mounted sight is taken from the galil.
13:58 by the barrel length, this looks like some kind of aks74u or akmsu, something like that. also, judging by the deepness and punchiness of its firing, it's most likely a 7.62
The first gun reminds me of the hk G21 I've seen in some games, and a kind of sg550-553 hybrid
“Highly cosmetic safety on top of the action”…. Mossberg pattern shotguns must not make their way across the pond much me thinks….. 😅 Just teasing, Jonathan! Thanks for all you do!
this needs a part 2!
speaking of the shotgun with the shell carrier, in The Darkness 2, the shotgun holder is actually used when youre running out of shells, it is the only game i can think of that does depict this
5:42 give my boy some coffee
Would be really cool if Jonathan made a video on *METAL GEAR SOLID 3* weapons.
So many weapons in that game to comment on like the patriot, the EZ gun, Snake's M1911, Ocelot's SAA and Eva's chinese mauser clone. Want to know your take on the Boss disassembling Snake's 1911 without removing the slide stop and many many more...
First gun, the Lmg, seems to be modeled after a lengthened Swiss arms or Sig 552/556 with Sligh variations. Stock and forend shape, receiver shape, even the drum style sights.
For this one, I think it may have been relevant to note which Counter Strike gun each Valorant gun is based on (as Valorant very closely emulates most of the CS weapons).
The lever action is the Steyr Scout
The suppressed pistol is the USP
The Operator is the AWM (famously misnamed in CS as the AWP...get it? awp ->op (operator)
Vandal is the AK
etc etc. It's notable in this context especially in how the Valorant weapons were visually differentiated while keeping similar game mechanics (for example, using a lever action instead of the steyr scout to make it look and feel more distinct from the AWM/operator)
Can we do a fan mail episode?! I’d love to ask you questions about firearms in games and firearms in general and hear everyone else’s questions.
The sight opening up I could see being a sort of lens cover to protect the mechanism that projects the sight when its not in use.
I think one issue with the concept of holographic sights that would potentially make them somewhat unlikely to ever be implemented is the matter of lighting. I reckon that they might be rather difficult to see in bright daylight on one hand (after all, it is basically a bit like a three-dimensional projector and there's a reason the lights in a room usually get dimmed if someone uses a projector) and at the same time, it might be a bit too conspicuous in the dark.
Plus, they'll need some kind of power source. Ironsights are just physical objects that you can use, but a holographic sight would require not only an electronic device that would probably be more likely to break than simple iron sights, but also probably a small battery somewhere that could run out.
looking at the silhouette of the phantom I get instant reminders of a specific firearm called Beretta Cx4 Storm, especially the chassis towards the barrel
The Ghost pistol reminds me of a Desert Eagle having met with a Browning Target Pistol and a H&K USP LAM.
I think the BioShock games would make for great content: the weapons from 1 & 2 have a lot of bizarre upgrades that would definitely be fun to break down, and Infinite's early 20th century setting has a lot of cool designs that I'd love to see explored in depth.
I would love to see you react to weapons of Vietcong. Its pretty old game but i love it.
I don't know where I was 10 days ago but I've been needing this one
I am once again suggesting the weapons from Serious Sam 4 and Siberian Mayhem, they are a fun mix of semi-realistic weapons with very goofy ones
Destiny 2 has a shotgun that switches modes as well. Duality fires shot when fired from the hip, but a slug when you aim down sights.
Roadhog's shrapnel gun in Overwatch has a similar Alt-fire to this shotgun where it travells as a slug for a short distance before splitting back into a spread pattern
Ares: kinda looks Ultimax inspired. And seeing as it's a constant recoil system, it would be slightly more controllable that the game actually portrays.
Marshal: Could be based on a Savage 99 or a Browning BLR, but neither of those use a King's loading gate. It's wacky but believable.
Bucky: pump gun, simple as. Has a Mossberg safety but a Remington lifter and slide release.
Ghost: I'm seeing Hubdon 9 in the dust cover, Desert Eagle in the barrel, and SW Victory in the grip, with an FN509 magazine release. The suppressor would work, but it's giving up a lot of internal volume by being a prism instead of a cylinder. It's physically realistic but the market would never support it.
Phantom: again with the triangular prism. It does look like they were inspired by the SIlencerCo Osprey.
Vandal: Kalashikov means QBZ-191? Stocks based on a Magpul MOE Rifle Stock.
I hope one of the Riot devs that worked on the stock guns sees this, I would think that would be cool if it was me.
The Ghost seems to be visually closer to the Browning Buck Mark, specifically the UDX and URX versions, and especially the URX with the top rail removed.
LOL, so cool you are doing this and weight in with your expertise. Thank you thank you. This is so fun :D
@Johnathan F, the alt fire of the shotgun was seen prior in Roadhog from Overwatch's weapon
To address the concerns around iron sights my personal theory is that it’s a similar reason as fighter jets have guns they will occasionally be needed (if the HUD explaining thing in game fails it would be needed
Next do wolfenstein new order
With the bucky, it isn't range dependent, it's just right click or left click. Left click is shot, right click is slug
Amazing, I’m so glad he covered, this hope part two will cover some of the skins like guardian skin that looks like an m1 garland. Also maybe some of the melees but idk weather that fits in with Johnathan expertise. But a lot of them fit in well with royal armour museums collection
Me and my gf visited the Leeds site because of these videos
With Bucky left click bird shot right click slug shot, w/c explains why the ammo representation is alternate.
The Marshall doesn't have a moustache, but it does have the muzzle monster muffle of the mountain echo!
I was waiting to see him react to the Classic. That thing is proper mad.
You guys should do an episode or 3 on "State of Decay 2". It has hundreds of pistols, rifles, shotguns, and explosive launchers.
Their are many different weapons such as a "prepper's" .22LR rifle with a Drum Mag, A modified AK that takes Helical magazines, The FBI's modified BAR, and many many more.
One game that at some point needs to be on here is Killing Floor (2). The game has a great variety of real and science-fiction guns, with good models and different animations for reloading etc. Rising Storm 2 was made by the same devs and already gave a taste of the level of quality to Jonathan, I'm sure he could say a lot about it.
Antimatter Games isn't Tripwire though.
Pls do Wolfenstein, that'd be sick!
That Ghost pistol kind of looks like a Desert Eagle and an FN Five-Seven had a baby.
For lever action rifles using battle calibers like 7.62 NATO check out the Savage Model 99 or a Winchester 88.
throwing this out there despite how late i am, the bucky IS 2 different fire modes, slug and standard buckshot
In addition to the Desert Eagle barrel the Ghost also looks like it has a Buckmark style frame.
the phantom has scar, hk91 stock, swiss 5.56 rifle, and an acr vibe going on but overall also has the shape of a kh g3
If I ever get the chance to visit London or the UK at all, i will try to make some time for your museum, always been intrigued by guns so i love this show! 😁👍
9:11 To try and finish Jonathans thought on the Ghost pistol; Desert Eagle on top. Mk 23 socom on bottom
PLEASE show Johnathan the Infantry ghost skin and the mage punk ghost skin. So that he can share my frustration on why the mage punk animation reloads like the Luger but not the Infantry (which mostly resembles it) doesn’t
