If you are interested in ww1 firearms might I recommend the RUclips channel C&Rsenal. It’s got great documentary length videos on all the weird and standard weapons of ww1. Very detailed and in-depth work done by the team there.
The lebel is legit my favourite weapon in the whole game, the sound and cycling pattern is so satisfying and fun to use. Maybe he could do the martini henry, howell or huot automatic?
@@TheStormsDagger K-bullets were standard 7.92mm Mauser rounds, but with a steel core (that's what the K stands for, "Kern," the German word for "Core"), designed specifically for armor piercing, and more specifically tank-busting. They had the same amount of powder as a normal 7.92mm cartridge, which is probably why they weren't very effective
Please do an episode 2 for Battlefield 1's firearms. While I'm happy you covered the meme weapons like the straight overpowered Kolibri and the infamously complained about Hellreigel, I'd like to see the more or less conventional weapons like the Lebel 1886, Martini Henry, Taschenpistole 1914, and so forth. This series is why I've came back to Gamespot, please keep it up.
Absolutely need another look at Bf1. So many unique weapons and players are still using almost all of them. There are a couple like helreigal and smg08 that are still dominant, but the roster is so diverse I still see people using about every weapon in the game.
For the PP-2000, the entire solid metal charging handle assembly reciprocates, meaning that it is connected to the bolt and probably contributes to adding more mass to slow down the cyclic rate.
I mean post WW2 grease guns got modded with a lighter bolt (better alloys and such) and it's cyclic rate went up so it working the other way around isn't a crazy idea
@@jimbothegymbro7086 The best example of the opposite comes to mind: Lague Manufacturing makes a lot of modernized upgrades for the Mac10/11, one of which is a tungsten bolt that slows down the cyclic rate.
BF4 is still the best Battlefield in my opinion. It has excellent gun variety for each class, not forcing you to use specific types of guns for each class like BF1 did. I love that you can be Recon and use that kit without being stuck with medium to long range weapons. And somewhat vice versa you can use DMRs as an Assault if you so chose.
Agreed, I love that we see more variety and a lot of non-US/western weaponry. BF4 personally is my fav BF and it's large part due to just the amount of variety in guns :> Also as a Swede knowing that at least 2 of the guns in the game are Swedish excites me a lot haha that being the Ak-5c and I think the CBJ or whatever it was called. It's called "the nail gun" and is used by the Swedish military or was used.
BF4 was one of the worst entries in the series. It was made after the lead designer for BF3 and BC2 left and it shows. Awful wide open maps, horrible buggy launch, terrible weapon and vehicle balance. It truly was the precursor to 2042.
As much as these videos on modern/postmodern weapons are interesting, I feel its been ages since we had one of these about older guns like in Hunt: Showdown and BF1, both games have some really cool options in them with some fascinating history!
In the last video there was a Derringer and a Winchester laying around on that table in the back, so I'm hopeful we're getting a second Hunt: Showdown video soon 🙏🏻
@@RevanAlaire it seems like with the past few vids they're giving him a break from the insanity of, for example, Call of Duty Vanguard, which he absolutely deserves IMO.
Seeing how crysis 4 has been teased by crytec, I'd love to see Johnathan dissect the weapons of one of the crysis games! Really cool stuff in there- including weird things like a microwave gun.
It's actually a little secret gimmick that the AN94, while firing in full auto at 600rpm, will actually fire at twice the rate if you switch the gun to burst fire in the game. It makes it a real force to reckon with and with the nearly non existent recoil its pretty competitive if you can work around the weird lock up mechanic of burst fire guns in BF4 :)
In Forgotten Weapon's interview with Max Popenker, Max pointed out that some shooters using the Groza would get their faces completly black from the amount of gas coming out of the ejection port, especially with a supressor. Aparantly some are still in some police armories to this day.
@@muzeumkaasznikowa7156 you could also have a grenade launcher in STALKER which to me made the Groza (Tunder as it's weirdly mistranslated into, it should be thunder) really viable late game.
@@latewizard301 There is a thing called "Triple Action Thunder" which isn't meant to be a gun but rather a prototype of a novelty recoil compensation system.

I carried the AK5 (or ak5, as it’s formally designated per the SoldR Mtrl P manual) during my national service. Lovely gun on the range, very robust and reliable… but for those of us who weren’t tooth arms, it was way too heavy and bulky when you’re lugging radios and whatnot all the time.

Need to get Jonathan into the world of Killzone's weapons. The blend of futuristic, modern, and World War era is a weird idea but it worked out so amazingly in KZ. Would love to see his take on the stuff, even with the very futuristic ShadowFall versions.
@@icarian553 it actually never was, it was mislabeled as 74, when it always was the original version, another overlook is that they put its caliber as 7.62x54 in the stats
Finally! I got so excited when an earlier episode on bf4 included the AK5C as the thumbnail, but never got mentioned. Another interesting modernisation in the swedish (and Norwegian) army is the G3. It's a real legacy gun, but with improvements the swedish army uses the AK4D (G3) as an effective DMR. 9 hole review recently did a fascinating video on 4he subject :)
Not many know about this game, but it would be cool to see him react to guns in Generation Zero, a game set in the 1980's with obscure Swedish weapons that don't get any attention. By the way make sure he looks at the experimental weapons In the game.
@@dom4591 it's funny that people looked down so much on Hardline it's forgotten, but BF2042 fiasco made people come back to this game and realize they were too rough on judging Hardline back in its days.
They both get it wrong though. COD loves a burst only gun category and here was a rifle that was made primarily to be used in burst and yet every-time, COD has it as full auto. Edit: to clarify what I mean. COD always has a burst only gun but either the AN94 Is full auto only or primarily full auto. However, the designer and trials focussed on hyper burst as main firing mode so should have been burst in BO2, BO3 and MW19.
CoD was right first lol. If you go ahead over Larry Vickers' channel and watch the video of the AN-94 you'll notice that the first two shots in full auto are fired in the hyperburst 1800 RPM while the subsequent shots are just Russian standard at 600 RPM
COD MW got it right. but The ingame Hyperburst is slower than IRL one. because COD server tickrate (rate of server-client update information) is slower than IRL AN94 Hyperburst cycle (only around 2/3)
A video on Killing Floor 2 would be interesting. Would be fun to see him talk about stuff like the Mosin, how some explosives have an arming distance, the glock 18c, and more. Him talking about the zedtime animations would be interesting as well, see if they are accurate.
Fun fact: The Vietnamese are trained to use their rifles in 2 round burst. By 2 round burst, I mean either semi auto or put it in full auto and have trigger disciplines to fire exactly 2 rounds
I have a wonderful amount of respect for the Vietnamese and their military. They successfully ousted the French and then defeated the worlds number one super power. Truly amazing and brave people.
Another excellent video, as always! Thank you! Would you consider doing a video on the guns in Generation Zero? It's a human vs. robots FPS based in 1980s Sweden (IIRC). The guns are largely renamed for game sake but are clearly based on real firearms.
Bf4 was hands down best game ever… multiplayer immaculate after nine years, short but precious campaign, very accurate gun depictions, and overall addictive game to play… by far better than 2042 or vanguard
Fun fact about the An-94, it isn't actually all that used by SOF in Russia, at all. you see it more with smaller VDV units in training and parades now, You could see them in use with Russian naval infantry as well. Kalashnikov still produces parts and attachments for the An-94 due to some user's putting in special order request.
Thank god, more videos on real setting games, the videos on alternate universe or futuristic games are cool but get kind of old as there’s nothing to compare these to. Thats just my opinion but honestly just happy to see Jonathan. I would love to see a video on payday 2 but honestly just would love to see more realistic games. Thanks Gamespot
There's been way more real setting than the alt/futuristic vids of this, though. The way it is, it's pretty balanced throughout. Even though we did get 2 vids in a row of futuristic setting(that being the Apex and Infinite vids)
@@360noscopebogan2 I mean, there's not necessarily wrong for having those kinds of videos. Even though it might be hard to compare the irl to in-game. I just like the insight or whatever Johnathan tells us, like how the AR from Halo still uses 7.62. Stuff like that
FNC does have a little bit of AK lineage, but they significantly changed bolt, gas system, etc design. It's a great action, because it retains things like APE. The QBZ-95 is actually a bullpupped FNC!
Did my military service in Sweden in -92. Had the AK-5 and I liked it a lot. Quite easy to fire accurately at 100 meters. We used the version that you have there in the museum, not the improved version from the game.
The An94 has become one my favorite 5.54x39 rifles, essentially uping the single shot power of the cartridge, allowing me to use the lighter, more common round instead of a larger caliber, while still having great automatic fire. Games don't model the problems of complexity and cost that this rifle suffers from in the real world.
The RPK also fire 7.62x39mm cartridges. But still erroneously has it listed as 5.45x39mm (witch the rpk-12 fires), despite the label, the rpk follows the 7.62 damage model.
7:50 Should be noted that the Ak5C has a bolt catch and release similar to the AR 15 and therefore (unlike the AK) you usually don't need to rack the bolt mid combat. Unless you got a malfunction I guess.
I really want an episode looking at the guns in Final Fantasy VII Remake. I think their weird designs would make for interesting conversation. You've got Barret's 4 gun arms, the various guns used by Avalanche and the Shinra soldiers, and Rufus Shinra's twin weapons.
the an - 94 magazine reminds me so much of the RX-7 mazda center console. everything bends and moves towards the operator. The Pecheneg is KING I have THOUSANDS of kills from my Pecheneg in game. Hardened barrel, IRV scope, and call it a day.
I’d love to see more of Hotdogs Horsehoes and Handgrenades! The game has so many guns and it has brought in even more newer guns too! I would love to see more of what Jonathan had to say for the game!
Went to Columbia for a training event Other then their trainees who had galil arm rifles Most of the average soldier's in Columbia were armed with galil aces Was kinda interesting to see that
Regarding the AN94, y'all should check out Ian's video on Forgotten Weapons channel where he tears down the gun and shows the weird mechanism inside the barrel that allows the 1800 rpm hyperburst.
The problem is the mechanical complexity. If you dont already know about the mechanics of it, check out Forgotten Weapons video on it. Its wacky, and I doubt that mechanism (or something similar) could actually withstand being a primary service rifle for any length of time.
@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz maybe special forces could use it for specific purposes, and with the firearms industry growing, maybe the system will become easier to manufacture. All that you would need then, is to learn how to maintain it, and with it not being a service weapon for the military, you would certainly find time to maintain and upkeep it.
Re: Ak5/FNC Same goes for the Ak4D (9-Hole review has a video on it, highly recommend) Its a G3 with Spuhr stock/handguard upgrades, a magnified optic, and the iron sights removed for some reason. But its Autimatic Karbine, number 4, submodel d. No relation to the Kalashnikov, just a mere coincidence. Just some funny language happenstances.
it's always interesting seeing what weapons are arranged on the table because some of them make an appearance in the video. so it's become a guessing game to me: is one of the table weapons going to be talked about or not?
You guys should do a video on the entire Battlefield series, maybe do like 3 guns from each game broken down in multiple videos, that would be cool to see.
6:50 There were no edits. Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, is simply capable of making any weapon that he has catalogued into his collection appear into his hands with a mere thought.

They actually have. On forgotten weapons they collaborated on a video about homemade craft firearms I believe
There was a weird shoulder stock magazine that was made for the 1911, Forgotten Weapons did a video on it a few years back
I absolutely love when Jonathan just goes off on full on rants about guns, it’s adorable
I would love to see a video where Jonathan Ferguson reviews a game that he enjoys and the guns from said game!
Agreed!!!
Looking at the galil ace makes me feel nice and I want one very badly.
Still would love a Hunt Pt.2, they’ve got a lot of guns and have even added more.
FNC does have a little bit of AK lineage, but they significantly changed bolt, gas system, etc design. It's a great action, because it retains things like APE. The QBZ-95 is actually a bullpupped FNC!
Did my military service in Sweden in -92. Had the AK-5 and I liked it a lot. Quite easy to fire accurately at 100 meters. We used the version that you have there in the museum, not the improved version from the game.
i played the Groza a lot back when i played BF4. really neat gun
It was definitely one of my favorites too!
The An94 has become one my favorite 5.54x39 rifles, essentially uping the single shot power of the cartridge, allowing me to use the lighter, more common round instead of a larger caliber, while still having great automatic fire.
Games don't model the problems of complexity and cost that this rifle suffers from in the real world.
Didn’t they already cover the Ak5?
The RPK also fire 7.62x39mm cartridges.
But still erroneously has it listed as 5.45x39mm (witch the rpk-12 fires), despite the label, the rpk follows the 7.62 damage model.
I could honestly sit and watch Jonathan talk about guns for hours
7:50 Should be noted that the Ak5C has a bolt catch and release similar to the AR 15 and therefore (unlike the AK) you usually don't need to rack the bolt mid combat. Unless you got a malfunction I guess.
I really want an episode looking at the guns in Final Fantasy VII Remake. I think their weird designs would make for interesting conversation. You've got Barret's 4 gun arms, the various guns used by Avalanche and the Shinra soldiers, and Rufus Shinra's twin weapons.
If Jonathan starts a gaming stream where he talks guns and combat history while playing I’d subscribe and watch everything
I love how Jonathan says 338 Lapua magnum
Who doesn't
I saw the AN-94 on the thumbnail and knew I had to watch.
I would like to see a video on the weapons from the Killzone series, especially 2 and 3.
The an 94 in bf4 actually does shoot the first bullets I think I remember
Who else enjoyed CQC with the AN-94 in BF3 in maps like metro and canals? It felt so broken because of how fast it was
the an - 94 magazine reminds me so much of the RX-7 mazda center console. everything bends and moves towards the operator.
The Pecheneg is KING I have THOUSANDS of kills from my Pecheneg in game. Hardened barrel, IRV scope, and call it a day.
I gotta say that weapon there at 6:50 is a beauty lol
Thanks for showing the Groza, I appreciate you!
I always wondered just how effective the forced air cooling really was on the PKP
Hearing John say bofa put a smile on my face
I’d love to see more of Hotdogs Horsehoes and Handgrenades! The game has so many guns and it has brought in even more newer guns too! I would love to see more of what Jonathan had to say for the game!
Actually never knew those things about the AN-94
My favorite weapon still is the ppsh with either mag of drum
Went to Columbia for a training event
Other then their trainees who had galil arm rifles
Most of the average soldier's in Columbia were armed with galil aces
Was kinda interesting to see that
Regarding the AN94, y'all should check out Ian's video on Forgotten Weapons channel where he tears down the gun and shows the weird mechanism inside the barrel that allows the 1800 rpm hyperburst.
we need more guns with a hyperburst system like the an-94, imagine the useful ways that the military could use them
The problem is the mechanical complexity.
If you dont already know about the mechanics of it, check out Forgotten Weapons video on it. Its wacky, and I doubt that mechanism (or something similar) could actually withstand being a primary service rifle for any length of time.
@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz maybe special forces could use it for specific purposes, and with the firearms industry growing, maybe the system will become easier to manufacture. All that you would need then, is to learn how to maintain it, and with it not being a service weapon for the military, you would certainly find time to maintain and upkeep it.
Re: Ak5/FNC
Same goes for the Ak4D (9-Hole review has a video on it, highly recommend)
Its a G3 with Spuhr stock/handguard upgrades, a magnified optic, and the iron sights removed for some reason. But its Autimatic Karbine, number 4, submodel d. No relation to the Kalashnikov, just a mere coincidence. Just some funny language happenstances.
Never get bored of seeing experts showing the AN-94 😌
This series is criminally underrated
Jonathan just knows how to says stuff and make it interesting, he could pretty much teach me geometry and i would be listening, nice work mate.
Jonathan looks like an insanely chilled out Max Payne and I will never be convinced otherwise .
We need another 2 parts of battlefield 4 series
it's always interesting seeing what weapons are arranged on the table because some of them make an appearance in the video. so it's become a guessing game to me: is one of the table weapons going to be talked about or not?
Would be great to see johnathan react to the batshit insane gun designs of borderlands
I want to see him cover some of the weapons from the Gears of War and Borderlands series games just to see what he thinks of them.
You guys should do a video on the entire Battlefield series, maybe do like 3 guns from each game broken down in multiple videos, that would be cool to see.
6:50 There were no edits. Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, is simply capable of making any weapon that he has catalogued into his collection appear into his hands with a mere thought.
Love how Jon's wearing a Mouse Rat T-shirt 😂
Battlefield 1 needs to be covered again! There’s so many great gun models and weird animations
Man i miss battlefield. I hope they make another one... eventually
I think that Battlefield Hardline deserves a video or two. It's got some expected choices for firearms but also some wacky options
Finally we saw an an-94, so underappreciated gun imo
the RPK there has the wrong Ammo 7.62x54r still not fixed and i forgot to mention in the old BF 3 the SVD is the chinese NDM-86
That Abakan is a beast. It's like a happy hour for bullets 😉
Show him the weapons from Payday 2, there is such a wide variety of weapons and attachments
AN-94 is by far my all time favourite weapon in the Battlefield games
12:12 there are another 7.62x39 weapon in bf4 that is the RPK
There is one other 7.62x39 gun in the game in the RPK, however, it is incorrectly listed in game as firing 7.62x54R for some reason.
They fixed that in 2014
I would really love another video on some more of H3VR's weapons, maybe some of the goofier ones.
I’d love to see more from Titanfall/Apex, GTA (Mk II weapons), R6 Extraction, and maybe even a look at Splitgate!
Keep doing amazing work!
What would we do without this series
Nobody tell John that the Galil ACE uses a standard AR/M16/M4 magazine in-game when it uses a standard Galil magazine in real life.
Man I wish battlefield was still good. BF1 was the end of an era.
yer. era.
Don't be sad this is how works sometimes
@@kaitogg322 lol sad over a video game? More likes dissapointed
@@dom4591 its a meme from bf 2042, geez
@@kaitogg322 I wouldn't know. I don't follow that game. Geez lol
One of the most fascinating people on RUclips no question
