So you can unload and reload magazines. So you can only reload as many magazines as you have managed to scavenge and add cartridges to.

      @kanrakucheese 4 месяца назад

      7.62 High Calibre with the Hard Life mod also features this as a mechanic. An interesting sub-mechanic of that is that the third world country with morally bankrupt leadership the game takes place in has various mag limit laws. As a practical matter the government really only controls the central cluster of cities, but it does present some interesting issues where if you want to take your good magazines through the central area (not doing so adds an unhealthy amount of time going through an area with a high bandit spawn rate while costing fuel, and vehicle maintenance cost) you have to be prepared to bribe the cops, find a good fake ID maker, or do enough quests for the police to get a loiscence (which only deals with the mag restrictions, not FA ones, and generally requires working within the restrictions). There's actually a good amount of combat content (against gangs etc.) in the central cities. Stashes can be made on the world map and last forever without disappearing though, so it's not big an issue if you are leaving the same way you came in.
      The other element to this is the FA restrictions, which you can only be rid of by going fully into pro-government route. Getting a reasonable quality AK outside the government's sphere is overly easy, but getting a *good* SA only is a big money sink even if you do find one for sale (otherwise I hope you like the Mini 14's accuracy).

    Yep, vacuum welding is a thing. Due to what is known as "van der Waals force", two similar metals will, if brought into contact on clean, flat surfaces, adhere very strongly together. Also known as "cold welding", it has led to issues in early satellites and in the design of space crafts.

    • @irrelevantfish1978
      @irrelevantfish1978 4 месяца назад +6

      At least in some cases, I believe it involves metallic bonding, not just van der Waals forces, with the surfaces joining much like they would if ultrasonic welded. Given the high pressures experienced by many firearms components, I wonder if the weld could be strong enough that components could only be separated by literally cutting them apart, potentially not just jamming but _destroying_ the weapon.

    I love the satirical humour of the Budget Arms disposable pistol. I wonder if it was inspired by old Kodak and Fujifilm disposable cameras. Those could be bought very cheaply. They were made of very cheap parts. They couldn't be reloaded. And by the time you got to the last few shots, you weren't even sure it was going to work or not. Maybe your last few photos would be double exposed, or the film would just jam. Too bad if that was when the bride and groom kissed, right? Should have bought a better camera!

    Physics-based explanation why a 1911 is a bad choice for space. I did not see that coming, impressive. I would like to see a gunblade episode with Jonathan. I'm currently playing FF XIII with Lightning's famous gunblade, but I guess there are not many occurrences of gunblades in video games, even though I know there have been some similar real-world weapons and I bet they have one or two in the Royal Armouries.

    Now I want to gift Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, a real pink Firearm with 3 EOTech red dot sights, 2 tactical flashlights, a drum magazine and have it all sprinkled in violet and blue glitter. Loaded with pink tracer ammunition of course. Sadly, my home country doesn't even allow pellet guns over a certain power limit.

    I think the change to the 1911 in Starfield is so your character can fit their spacesuit gloved finger inside the trigger guard

    I am still hope to see Generation Zero sometime, i think jonathan would find it interesting, and the experimental guns might be cursed. Overall, the guns on the robots would be extremely interesting to have an expert opinion on.
    Also, Saints Row The Third Remastered.

  • @michaelgreen4579
    @michaelgreen4579 4 месяца назад +14

    I can only assume that the trigger guard on the 1911 pistol is extended in starfield so that someone with a space suit on can fit their gloved finger into it.

I'm looking forward to a big 2024 with these series, keep up the great work!

    i would still love to see him react to the guns of boundary, especially as that's a shooter set in space with a sort of realistic aesthetic, so it may appeal to Jonathan how the guns seem build for space specifically and the detail that most of them include.

    One reason for the huge trigger guard on the Starfield 1911 might be so you can use it while wearing spacesuit gloves.

      That's such a cope because whoever the weapons designers were in for the game clearly have no idea what they're doing half the time.

    I remember playing warface many many years ago when it pretty much just came out. As far as I know the game has completely changed now, But there used to be a 'finger gun' that I thought was the coolest thing ever at the time, it did the same ok-sign for the back sight and used the thumb as the front.

    The Starfield 1911 was likely modified to fit spacesuit glove finger sizes, though that just raises even more questions given the issues with firing in vacuum.

  • @TrondBrgeKrokli
    @TrondBrgeKrokli 4 месяца назад

    As I grow older, my preference for original-looking weapons in games becomes more and more obvious. And as a highly functioning autist, it is very relatable when Jonathan cringes from the cursed weapons you present him in episodes like this one. I can only imagine the extra vocabulary offered by Jonathan off camera/ in person for you guys in the GameSpot team. Thank you for sharing these highly entertaining experiences, good job everyone. I would also like to take the opportunity to wish you a happy new year and thank you for all of 2023. 🥳

There’s even a sidearm that somehow makes enemies more flammable so you can use a flamethrower on them? Would love to hear if there is a real world explanation for that and I’m sure he’d “love” the fold away minigun you can get👀

    Would you be willing to take a look at the guns in Enlisted? They have a lot of unique prototype guns I've never seen in any other game and, despite their inclusion being ahistorical to WWII, they seem to have a relatively realistic take on how they'd operate.

    I think I saved a woman a lot of grief in a gun store once. She was talking about "oh, this one's a lot heavier." and was trying to find something really lightweight... and I said something to the effect of "Well, you'll want to try them out, but heavier isn't always a bad thing, because weight helps absorb recoil."
    We did not dignify pink as a reasonable color for a handgun. A proper lady has an appreciation for blued or stainless steel.

  • @tykjpelk

    What could almost make sense is if the budget arms had a somewhat oversized barrel. Way less pressure buildup, zero accuracy, massively reduced power but at least it might survive for a few shots. Would also be interesting to see a less-than-responsible gun youtube channel explore.
