Fun fact, according to payday 2 wiki, the Microgun is actually based on the Empty Shell LLC XM556 Prototype that fires 5.56 and unlike the Microgun, its comically small. Edit:By comically small, I mean over half a meter, specifically 558 milimetres, from some images, it's roughly the size of P90 which is amazing. Double edit: I'd like to add that according to IMFDB, technically Payday 2 has more guns than it states and that's not counting the DLCs. You cna modify guns into different ones or facsimiles. For example, I learned something that made sense today. The KSP 58 is not a KSP 58, but it is in technicality. The first KSP, simply called just that was an M249, the KSP 58 is not a KSP 58, but a mishmash majorly leaning towards the M240B. Why does this make sense? Well, because apparently the M240B is the US adopted version of the KSP 58 and so in the logic of the world, it might as well be called the KSP 58 if the American gun was already called a KSP. It's an interesting compromise. I honestly am thinking of making character thematic builds one day, just wish they added more weapon slots since I like having the realistic variants of these guns.
Fun fact: If you look closely during the reload animation for the Cavity 9mm, you can see that the magazine contains rare overpressure rounds with red tips. That explains why you have such low ammo reserves (overpressure rounds are hard to find) and why the gun has unusually high damage despite being chambered in 9mm.
“Killing Floor 2” should definitely be a game that you review. Having Johnathan talk about the caseless shotgun that is the HM-Tech 301, and having him try to figure out how it could work - would be amazing. Talking about the “Frost Fang”, “G18c”, and Vlad-1000 Nail-Gun would also be amazing.
amazing insight as always. this game has a rather awful monetization model, but if nothing else it really forces them to add more unique weapons to the game, and it's nice to learn more about it
While there isn't some way to hide guns, guns do have a concealment rating which is useful for stealth and certain skills. I'm fairly certain the Keltec has the one of the best concealments in the game for that
I would really love to see more Hunt: Showdown weapons. Not only did they add more since the last video, they also watched your video and made some changes in regards to your feedback. It's not really common for devs to rework some of the minor details after all
@@KoishiVibin Jonathan fergusons comment on their reload animation for the Sharps/Sparks LRR in the last hunt showdown video he did was seen by the crytek game developers who went in and corrected the animation to be in line with Jonathan's description. Pretty cool! They even noted publicly that it was because of Jonathan's video. 😎
I'd love to see another episode on this! It was heartbraking to see him pull out the example Galil that can actually be made in the game with the gunsmithing and use it as an example of differences!
Was looking forward to this one, but while Jonathan was discussing the reload animations during the F2000 segment, it shocked me that Killing Floor 2 hadn't been covered yet. A good lineup of both realistic and wacky guns, with standard reloads AND Elite, proficient reloads which I'm sure might be of interest.
A video about MGS:V dissecting the guns and see what guns they're inspired from would be interesting seeing as they're real weapons but sligthly modified ( for licence purposes maybe ), or sometimes a mix of multiple real ones.
@@SorakuFett That'd be interesting for sure, I was just thinking about the V in particular since the other games actually used real guns whereas the V was a bit more original about it so it's more fun to try and analyze which gun is which.
Ah, so glad he finally covered this game. I think I actually use the BRENs in-game. Or used to. The model didn't immediately look familiar but the name "Akimbo CR 805B" does. I'd use that as a secondary with the Microgun, which is a different (and still probably very wrong) gun then was shown here. Always thought the name "microgun" was very silly; never realized it was a real thing. Here's to hoping the next episode has the Garand and the ability to shove 3x as many bullets in it as it can physically hold.
@@screamingcactus1753 It seems my memory was off. I do own the Microgun, I just forgot what it looked like in first person. I think also part of it is I used it in VR more recently than desktop before swapping to dual P90s. I also think I might have different modifications on mine than whoever recorded this footage.
@@ToriusHeart ...so it is. Just checked my inventory, and I own both single and akimbo versions. I think I'd use the single as a secondary to the microgun, and then started using akimbo in VR.
Seeing Jonathan nerd out about guns and game mechanics really brightens my week. Love this series and he is by far my favorite expert react on any platform. He needs merch lol maybe something like "no weapon charms" or something
I can definitely imagine John Ferguson being a new character in the game as a new Gage or something. Or a contractor to steal antique weapons from rich folk, no matter how cursed they are (made by their first owners).
I used to own a Kel Tec Sub2000 and the optic in the game always bothered me. Not to say you couldn't fold it still, but there is a latch around the front sight that secures it in it's folded position that wouldn't be possible with anything attached to the barrel.
It might already be recorded. I think that happened with another game at least once where it was shown briefly in a previous episode and then a week or two after there was an episode with that game.
The fact he's played the game and knows why certain guns are included for things like concealment makes this so much more of an actual in-depth review than I ever would've expected otherwise.
The thing to remember is that they typically get a hold of airsoft replicas to model the in-game guns. So sometimes it's like playing a game of telephone but in 3D model form.
Concealment in Payday's a "how easily do I get spotted" mechanic, but off the top of my head the Kel-tec Sub-200's is one of the primaries people tend to use for max concealment.
The biggest catch about the shotguns is that every pellet does full damage, which makes the meta dropping the accuracy as low as possible, throwing any semblance of range out the window.
They actually recently changed it so the fact that the full damage is applied by the first shotgun pellet and every aditional one doesn't apply any more so. it is still viable to toss accuracy but hitting headshots is still key.
4:56 unfortunately, equip/unequip animation of SUB-2000 doesnt really mean much other than that it got a fancy equip/unequip animation so different from other weapons. but at least SUB-2K got a pretty respectable "concealment" value that, among other things, decreases the detection radius when you play stealthily, so there is that. 10:13 - F2000 actually got a fully modelled fire selector on the model, it just that devs decided to use the longer barrel by default instead of the standard F2000 shorter barrel that is available as an attachment 14:44 - well, PAYDAY 2 shotguns, for whatever reason, deal full damage that is listed in the menu, with each pellet, but the damage from each pellet doesn't sum up. on the other hand, PAYDAY 2 shotguns got a pretty insane range before the damage will start drop off, that it doesn't even come into play on most maps.

Please could Mr Ferguson react to some of the more unusual Tenno and Grineer guns in Warframe, with seperate videos for either faction if possible. Think Jonathan will have a blast trying to get his head around the strange gun mechanisms present in that game
I do actually own Kel-Tec S2000. It is so cool that there is game with that unusual firearm. There is one thing off however. Weapon already has picatiny rail over the top by default, does not require mounting any other rails on it and second thing butting any attachments on it prevents folding ability. It is possible to fold the weapon only using standard rear stock sights.
I’d love to see him try to find out the references for the new guns that came out in the newest dlc because they look really futuristic and I wonder if they are actually based on anything
Not Jonathan, but for Jiu Feng Pack 4 I can answer this: The Argos is based on the MP-155 Ultima (which he reviews in "EVEN MORE Tarkov Guns"), and despite his lack of knowledge on it, it is real. The PAYDAY 2 version has a fictional targeting system instead of the actual thermal sight which is modeled in Tarkov. The Wasp DS is the FMG-9 (he reviewed in one of the Siege videos), and unlike the Siege version has folding and unfolding anims-the picatinny rail is fictional. As he mentions, it was in RoboCop II! The Gecko M2 is based on the Maxim 9, and visually seems to be the closest to the source gun. It is in fact an enormous integrated suppressed pistol, but I don't know if the shotgun-tier staggering power is appropriate for what is IIRC 9mm. Whether or not they sound, perform, etc. in the way they should IRL, I can't say, that's a Jonathan thing. Weird thing that is worth noting is the Argos loads 2 rounds at a time (except for a dry reload which inserts a shell through the ejection port first), and unlike other shotguns the player flips the shotgun upside down completely to load. I believe flipping it upside down is fine but commonly done in a less tense scenario/when sitting.
@@eripmavsdyraid8763 the two round reload on the Argos is most likely a dual load, which does look cool but the weirdly stilted animations for any weapon released post-ending makes it feel really janky
Killing it gents!!! Any chance of you taking a look at Killzone series, Titanfall series, Wolfenstein reboot and Bioshock please? Really feel there is a lot here for Jonathan to look at especially Wolfenstein and Killzone as they are sci-fi but grounded weapons. Alot of Bioshock and Titanfall's weapons are also really interesting
Sadly, the recoil if I remember correctly is determined by the Stability stat, if you max this stat out you will have little to no recoil. Edit: however please someone show John the MG42 WITH a gadget equipped because I know for a fact John is going to flip when he sees exactly WHERE said attachment is.
Shotguns feel awesome in payday because they operate off the damage model that if even a single pellet hits the target, then they take the full damage of the weapon as if all the pellets hit. I love that and it's awesome.
I love watching these videos and hearing Jonathan talk about guns, i’d love to meet him one day, he’s a very interesting person and i love hearing his view on different guns and games
I hope Jonathan sees this comment, please like and hope he sees it. I believe the Crye Precision six12 is based on the Pancor shotgun since that does have a rotary drum magazine that is behind the trigger, and it has some visual similarities, albeit it is more inspired than exactly like the silhouettes of the Pancor. If the Pancor went into full production, you could have one in the museum. Ian from forgotten weapons actually covered it and if I recall, the one he had with him was an actual Pancor that is used as a movie prop, but it isn’t really that functional anymore since all the test ones that were sent for trials for I believe it was the US military, almost all the prototypes sent in for testing and trials got destroyed or heavily damaged from testing so almost none exist really today unless someone recreates it somehow with great enough improvements to make it something to sell.
I'm surprised that they went with the 762 version of the WA-2000 instead of the 300WM. Considering it's punching power it would probably make more sense.
3:58 That would be a good video on the Royal Armouries channel. How and where do you acquire all of the the weapons. And some other rules like that. Like for example, Are you allowed to Import a firearm from say the US?
I was just asking myself while watching "I wonder if he talked about the Six12 in the Rainbow Six videos" and then it showed up in this video. Payday 2's diverse catalog of weapons never ceases to amaze me.
Been waiting for this episode. This game and MW2019 (I'd tear my hair out if I bought Tarkov) really are super cool with what you can do with (most of) the guns!
Gamespot/Jonathan: it's a bit of a hidden gen of a game, but could you at some point look at the guns of Generation Zero? They're a weird mix of "clearly supposed to be realistic, but also not," and there's a recently released US weapons pack that has an m14-lookalike that I think might make Jonathan raise an eyebrow. 😂
Ah finally payday is here. I was waiting so long for it since payday has such an extensive arsenal and you ahev so many modding options. Thank youuuuuu
So I know he said that shoulder firing 3000 rpm is not good for the shoulder, but to be fair in payday the microgun is merely 2000rpm so it is slightly better for the shoulder.
fun fact Galil is derivatived of Finnish RK 62, that reinforced top cover and that rear sight on the top cover are from RK. Valmet actually produced receivers for first Galil prototypes in Finland
Before Escape From Tarkov and every Call of Duty since MW 2019, we had Payday 2 for cursed guns. I wonder how Jonathan would react to a (very) short barrel M1928 Thompson with no stock, a 553 EOTech CCO, and a PEQ-15 laser system attached to welded-on strips of metal as makeshift accessory "rails".
A Kel-tec! I own several of their odd offerings including the Sub2000 that you showcased. I love love all of them along with their quirks. I hope that Kel-tec can send you some of their products. If you had a Sub2000 to reference, you would know that folding it with a RDS installed wouldn't work very well. It would fold in more like a wide "V" position. There are products available to get around this, but none of those were present in the game model.
I believe the inspiration for including the 7.62 Galil is one part Heat and another part The Way of the Gun. Benicio Del Toro uses the 7.62 version of the Galil in Way of the Gun, which in some ways is a "heist" movie.
I actually did wonder how the f2000 top rail worked. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen the optics without the cover.
I came to comment the same thing.
Selling a "tactical version" by just removing the plastic cover is marketing genius ^^
@@Bzuhl Yeah.

Weapon already has picatiny rail over the top by default, does not require mounting any other rails on it and second thing butting any attachments on it prevents folding ability. It is possible to fold the weapon only using standard rear stock sights.
I’d love to see him try to find out the references for the new guns that came out in the newest dlc because they look really futuristic and I wonder if they are actually based on anything
Not Jonathan, but for Jiu Feng Pack 4 I can answer this:
The Argos is based on the MP-155 Ultima (which he reviews in "EVEN MORE Tarkov Guns"), and despite his lack of knowledge on it, it is real. The PAYDAY 2 version has a fictional targeting system instead of the actual thermal sight which is modeled in Tarkov.
The Wasp DS is the FMG-9 (he reviewed in one of the Siege videos), and unlike the Siege version has folding and unfolding anims-the picatinny rail is fictional. As he mentions, it was in RoboCop II!
The Gecko M2 is based on the Maxim 9, and visually seems to be the closest to the source gun. It is in fact an enormous integrated suppressed pistol, but I don't know if the shotgun-tier staggering power is appropriate for what is IIRC 9mm.
Whether or not they sound, perform, etc. in the way they should IRL, I can't say, that's a Jonathan thing. Weird thing that is worth noting is the Argos loads 2 rounds at a time (except for a dry reload which inserts a shell through the ejection port first), and unlike other shotguns the player flips the shotgun upside down completely to load. I believe flipping it upside down is fine but commonly done in a less tense scenario/when sitting.
@@eripmavsdyraid8763 the two round reload on the Argos is most likely a dual load, which does look cool but the weirdly stilted animations for any weapon released post-ending makes it feel really janky
The fact that he wear blue rubber gloves while reacting to payday making it much better
Thought the same! :D
Killing it gents!!! Any chance of you taking a look at Killzone series, Titanfall series, Wolfenstein reboot and Bioshock please? Really feel there is a lot here for Jonathan to look at especially Wolfenstein and Killzone as they are sci-fi but grounded weapons. Alot of Bioshock and Titanfall's weapons are also really interesting
The M82 from killzone is beautiful it's also my favorite sci-fi assault rifle.
Gotta love the “Wakner” logo on the WA2000 at 15:14
Sadly, the recoil if I remember correctly is determined by the Stability stat, if you max this stat out you will have little to no recoil.
Edit: however please someone show John the MG42 WITH a gadget equipped because I know for a fact John is going to flip when he sees exactly WHERE said attachment is.
Shotguns feel awesome in payday because they operate off the damage model that if even a single pellet hits the target, then they take the full damage of the weapon as if all the pellets hit. I love that and it's awesome.
the amount of customization in this game could make a firearms expert cry due to the cursed setups that are actually viable in game
I love watching these videos and hearing Jonathan talk about guns, i’d love to meet him one day, he’s a very interesting person and i love hearing his view on different guns and games
I love to see the weapons of H3VR's meat fortress. It's a more realistic (sort of) version of team fortress 2.
I hope Jonathan sees this comment, please like and hope he sees it. I believe the Crye Precision six12 is based on the Pancor shotgun since that does have a rotary drum magazine that is behind the trigger, and it has some visual similarities, albeit it is more inspired than exactly like the silhouettes of the Pancor. If the Pancor went into full production, you could have one in the museum. Ian from forgotten weapons actually covered it and if I recall, the one he had with him was an actual Pancor that is used as a movie prop, but it isn’t really that functional anymore since all the test ones that were sent for trials for I believe it was the US military, almost all the prototypes sent in for testing and trials got destroyed or heavily damaged from testing so almost none exist really today unless someone recreates it somehow with great enough improvements to make it something to sell.
I'm surprised that they went with the 762 version of the WA-2000 instead of the 300WM. Considering it's punching power it would probably make more sense.
Been watching Jonathan Ferguson for a long while. As a PAYDAY 2 fan, I could happily say that a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Do homefront the revolution, i want to see Jonathan's reaction to the cursed guns in that game
100%
3:58 That would be a good video on the Royal Armouries channel. How and where do you acquire all of the the weapons. And some other rules like that. Like for example, Are you allowed to Import a firearm from say the US?
Wouldn't it be crazy cool if you make a video on Verdun's guns?
I was just asking myself while watching "I wonder if he talked about the Six12 in the Rainbow Six videos" and then it showed up in this video. Payday 2's diverse catalog of weapons never ceases to amaze me.
You put a Borderlands 3 clip in the beginning, so have Jonathan reacts to Borderlands already.
All in good time
Almost at the end of the video, and I just realised how the usual blue rubber gloves are PERFECT for this episode 😮
You should react to the weapons of Killzone 2 and 3 next!, they are a mix of sci-fi and modern weapons with some that stand out.
Unfortunately, the weapons of Killzone typically suffer from the classic question of 'where does the bolt go?'.
Ayyyy, my wish came true at last!
I would love to see him react to the weapons from Killing Floor 2 as well. Would be great because it has some rather realistic weapon feel to me.
If you consider incredibly wobbly and very loose parts on weapons realistic
Great video! As an old school payday 2 player with 3500 hours played, I'm very excited to see part 2 as well!
Been waiting for this episode. This game and MW2019 (I'd tear my hair out if I bought Tarkov) really are super cool with what you can do with (most of) the guns!
I’ve been waiting for this!
Deep Rock Galactic deserves a look, rock and stone!
so happy that you did this thanks
Gamespot/Jonathan: it's a bit of a hidden gen of a game, but could you at some point look at the guns of Generation Zero?
They're a weird mix of "clearly supposed to be realistic, but also not," and there's a recently released US weapons pack that has an m14-lookalike that I think might make Jonathan raise an eyebrow. 😂
THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
Wait till he sees duel wielding dragons breath shotguns.
Please get Jonathan a proper camera! Love the series btw.
Ah finally payday is here. I was waiting so long for it since payday has such an extensive arsenal and you ahev so many modding options. Thank youuuuuu
Some borderlands guns would be cool
We absolutely need to see that
So I know he said that shoulder firing 3000 rpm is not good for the shoulder, but to be fair in payday the microgun is merely 2000rpm so it is slightly better for the shoulder.
Been waiting for payday 2 firearms, wonder what's next on the list
YES!!! Finally a Payday 2 episode! Thank you so much you guys!
Jonathan seriously needs a better camera
Hey, thanks for the payday video i was waiting for a long time.
I hope Jonathan is getting paid well
I see what you did there
fun fact Galil is derivatived of Finnish RK 62, that reinforced top cover and that rear sight on the top cover are from RK. Valmet actually produced receivers for first Galil prototypes in Finland
I am glad to see Johnathan wearing the "Cycle of Violence" shirt from C&Rsenal! I always get questions when I wear mine.
Jonathan should get all the ad revenue for this channel honestly
Imagine a modder modded a Johnathan Ferguson character pack after watching this lol
FINALLY! I’ve been patiently waiting for the payday 2 videos!!!
I really do like watching his analysis on the different guns.
Been looking forwards to this one!
Before Escape From Tarkov and every Call of Duty since MW 2019, we had Payday 2 for cursed guns.
I wonder how Jonathan would react to a (very) short barrel M1928 Thompson with no stock, a 553 EOTech CCO, and a PEQ-15 laser system attached to welded-on strips of metal as makeshift accessory "rails".
A Kel-tec! I own several of their odd offerings including the Sub2000 that you showcased. I love love all of them along with their quirks. I hope that Kel-tec can send you some of their products. If you had a Sub2000 to reference, you would know that folding it with a RDS installed wouldn't work very well. It would fold in more like a wide "V" position. There are products available to get around this, but none of those were present in the game model.
I believe the inspiration for including the 7.62 Galil is one part Heat and another part The Way of the Gun. Benicio Del Toro uses the 7.62 version of the Galil in Way of the Gun, which in some ways is a "heist" movie.
