13:08 Alien blaster has been around since the very first Fallout, in Fallout 1 you found it in a random ecounter with a crashed UFO. On an akien skeleton you found this gun as well as an Elvis painting.
same deal with the AK. The assault rifle you get in game is the AK-112. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense in universe (originally it was called the "Colt Rifle"), but hey, it's believable enough.
Lies and deception. AKs are and will never be outdated. On a more serious note, Bethesda did some retconning with the lore so they might not exist as of Fallout 3 or NV. It's also possible, albeit unlikely, that the gun just never made it to the US and only exists in Russia. However, the "hand-made rifle" in FO4 Nukaworld is definitely an AK so it's back.
@@MichaelMartinez-bz7fy Same with the Colt M1911, Uzi, M-16, M2 Browning and many other guns I'm probably forgetting. Aircraftwise: The B-52, A-10 Warthog, Mi-8, Mi-24d, and TU-95 are similar. Be wary of old weapons because they work in a field that most die young.
@@tsarfox3462 the reason it's considered outdated in fallout is Russia bombed themselves with nukes long before the end of the war they were the first to go in the lore then Europe then China and the U.S. so the other countries had much longer to develop tech plus a world war boosting development
19:40 The missile launcher does actually have guidance - the problem is that you have to use VATS for it to function, and even then you usually don't notice it unless the target is running around like a headless chicken.
I'd always imagined the railway rifle being invented by a Brit who made their way to the U.S. post war. Hints in the name since the British commonly use the term "railWAY" while in America they commonly use "railROAD". Steampunk weapons are inherently British/Victorian generally anyway.
I've been wanting Arma 3 for a while. Mainly for the MX rifles. They are fairly close to what the US NGSW Program has produced, despite the game coming out years before anyone had heard about the program. They were also designed by a real firearms company: CMMG.
i think they named the original 10mm smg in fallout H&K mp-9 or so... afterwards, real mp9 happened. also, original fallout assault rifle was ak-112 - so those companies obviously existed and operated bethesda later mostly shat on all that :D

On note with his remarks on the "rock-it launcher," I actually saw a video of a guy who had basically engineered the "junk jet" from fo4 using a car air bag and a metal tube and dammit it actually worked!
Can you guys check out the guns of "Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magicka" at some point? Would love your thoughts on the Victorian era guns in that game. It's a bit obscure, but Good Old Games has it!
At 13:00 - this 'ray gun' is a classic toy design from from the 'Atomic era' -50s and 60s. Some that come to mind are the Space Pilot X-Ray, the Zee Ray Gun, etc.
Please do Far Cry 2. Even though it’s a relatively old game now it still has some features that make it stand out. I remember the spreadable fire blowing my mind.
Alien Blaster was featured in first two Fallouts. It always resembles style of 1950's kids toys, with names like: 'Space gun', 'Atomic disintegrator' or 'Atomic space gun'
Not 100% true. There are a few divergences before that, the earliest I think is the samurai captured by aliens in the 1500s. It's true that the biggest divergence is the transistor never being invented in the fallout universe resulting in the world being "stuck" in the 40s/50s
From my understanding the divergence occurred right after world war II and significantly impacted the creation of transistors among other things I believe towards the beginning of the Great war that led to fallout vacuum tubes barely became a thing and as well as the divergence being a thing there's evidence pointing that it goes further back even to Lincoln's era as there is a recording of Lincoln's voice. There is evidence of multiple divergent points in fallout universe making it more on par with a parallel universe with slight changes here and there rather than a completely different universe happening at one point
If taking into account Mothership zeta the divergence goes back a very long way, with the Zetans having taken people for centuries. It may even be that the reasons for major technological divergence was reverse engineered alien technologies, something hinted at as early as Fallout 2 with a sapient AI that was built with alien tech.
@@alicev1500 I guess I never noticed that before, but I only played it at my friends house. They seemed to be based upon existing weapons or so I thought.
@@Gatorade69 They are somewhat based on real weapons. I think the reason why they used fictional guns was to avoid having to pay licensing fees to gun manufacturers? Most weapons in the game are basically mashups between two or more different guns, and given fictional names and manufacturers.
Lovely vid. Reminds me a lot of Mikeburnfire. In gun rationalization. The 10MM is modeled off the Desert eagle with the blocky build and slide. All the brass casings ejected in fallout 3 are oversized
@@0lionheart. It's especially funny for the M4 lineup in New Vegas considering those are apparently chambered in 5mm rounds rather than 5.56, which I don't see how that makes any lick of sense even by alternate universe standards; This ain't Warhammer 40K where literally everything is constantly out of wack.
I wonder if the combat shotgun could work if you thought of the magazine as being a device that feeds into what would effectively be the tube magazine beneath the barrel of your typical semi-auto shotgun. If you had a gas piston that served to cycle the drum as well as to ram cartridges into the under-barrel portion of the magazine and then also had the mainspring in the stock, it could theoretically work if the ejection port was a little larger and if there was a place for the bolt to go. It'd be a weapon that you'd probably have to clean/repair often, but that fits with how it is in the game.
Jonathan is probably less than a fraction of Gamespots revenue. I don’t think many of you understand how companies like them make money. It’s not by getting a bunch of sweaty nerds to click on a video and make the same comment once a week.
Time splitters was so good! My favorite was the pistol that would shoot as fast as you could pull the trigger. I got so good at spamming a GameCube controllers trigger that I broke one.
The assassin who shot the Swedish king Gustav III on a masquerade ball on the 16th of March, 1792 *did* load one pistol with a bullet and nailheads. I don't know if that was the pistol he fired into the king, but the king did die from sepsis in the wound which was apparently complex with many pieces lodged in the king's body.
7:00 Also Pres. Lincoln's actual rifle was a Spencer, not a Henry, and is on display in one of the museums in Springfield, Illinois. I guess we'll just call that a style choice.
The divergence is mostly based on the later development of transistors and a parallel path of atomic power/weapons. The closer you get to the point of that divergence (about just after WW2) the less noticeable the changes. Butterfly effect and such. The further forward you go, the more those various differences compound and snowball into further and further differences through different circumstances creating different chances/opportunities and thus moving along further divergent paths.
Definitely played this game a lot and occasionally go back to it. I remember back then that I liked the Lincoln repeater even though it was fudged the reload. Interesting fact of a repeater with President Lincoln, Christopher Spencer who designed the Spencer carbine and rifle lever action was able to show it to Lincoln and for him to try it out on a target. Which his first shot aiming down the sight was a bullseye and his next shots were very close to bullseye. He was a good shot and he liked Spencer’s repeating carbine which resulted in him sending a message to chief of ordnance Ripley praising the Spencer and voicing that he thinks it would be great to equip the Union forces with in the war. Though Ripley wasn’t really as enthusiastic as the president about was for. But it did succeed in getting into the hands of Union soldiers more than the Henry rifle.
I remember buying the Fallout Vegas guide boy and went around the waste land hunting down rare weapons. My favourite gun in that game was the magnum called Lucky...it used powerful ammo that was rare so I only took it out as a treat.
He also admitted he didn't play any dlc which is blasphemous imo. Point Lookout & Mothership Zeta were effing awesome. Project Anchorage makes you straightup OP if you're starting a new game. Played 3 my first time after all the dlc was out & you walk away from that with full T45 pwr armor, a missile launcher, 2 unique & op melee weapons & absolute crap ton of ammo & mid-late game weapons. My vanilla playthrough was kind of a cakewalk lol.
Based on the music selection within the franchise the divergence point is around 1959, Oxhorn made a video that discusses the divergence point in detail, worth a watch if you've any interest in the lore/timeline
Even with the crazy stuff the happens in the Fallout universe I still wondered what magic had to happen inside for that Combat shotgun to actually function.
I can't wait for the future when Jonathan is doing one of these and the game has a plasma pistol and all of a sudden, he pulls out an actual plasma pistol.

Thank you, I was wondering about that one. Does anyone else think he should do an episode on his shirt collection, because he has some superb ones.
Mouse Rat rules! Andy makes the nachos
I saw that just as the video ended and was filled with so much joy! One of my favourite comedy series of all time!
@@jeffbanks5103 "you're supposed to melt the cheese andy"
Nice, man! I should watch that show for real.
I'm pretty sure if Britain becomes a Post apocalyptic wasteland , The first British raider gang would be formed at The Royal armouries museum.
Yo is there a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Episode yet? I watched the metro episode, and I thought it would be cool to make a stalker one if it has not been done yet
I somehow knew what the reaction to the combat shotgun would be ahead of time.
Still hoping for a Halo centered video!
Would be awesome!
Definitely. Probably halo reach or halo 2
Second this !
same, but i'd like to see specifically the brute weapons since they're the most interesting to me
@@actually-will1606 I was thinking of halo 5 or Reach
I wish he'd react to "zachs gun rants" about fallout new Vegas modded weapons
That would be a delight
I love how, when the Yao Guai saw what the Alien Blaster did to the Raider, it was like "Nope." 😆
On note with his remarks on the "rock-it launcher," I actually saw a video of a guy who had basically engineered the "junk jet" from fo4 using a car air bag and a metal tube and dammit it actually worked!
You can tell he actually plays the games and “does his homework” before making the video
Well he said in the video that he’s played F3 a lot before
@@Unknownmonkey13 yeah that’s why I commented
@@fyretnt Alright, I wouldn’t consider that homework, just general experience in the field
@@Unknownmonkey13 yes but for other games that he never played he still reads about or plays them to learn
Idk man, he claims to be a veteran fallout 3 player and didn’t know what the mezmetron was
Reciever 2! Would be fun to see him react to how the gameplay is, specially malfunctions
YES!!!! RECIEVER 2 WOULD BE GREAT
some of the tapes too would be cool
Agreed!
Can you guys check out the guns of "Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magicka" at some point? Would love your thoughts on the Victorian era guns in that game. It's a bit obscure, but Good Old Games has it!
great suggestion
Hey hey people
Good suggestion! Man that game is a classic, but a real mess to play.
At 13:00 - this 'ray gun' is a classic toy design from from the 'Atomic era' -50s and 60s. Some that come to mind are the Space Pilot X-Ray, the Zee Ray Gun, etc.
Think a trip to the Royal armouries museum is in the books, I haven't been for a long time.
Oh my god he’s wearing a Mouse Rat shirt! I have the same one. Gotta love some Parks and Rec.
9:00 Oh look! It's the Panic Attack, Jonathans favourite weapon!
pretty sure it's called that because he had a fucking panic attack looking at it
Do Far cry 2 next, The exploding and jamming gun animation will make the reaction interesting.
Excellent idea! He’s never really spoken about gun *failures* as far as I remember.

Please do Far Cry 2. Even though it’s a relatively old game now it still has some features that make it stand out. I remember the spreadable fire blowing my mind.
Alien Blaster was featured in first two Fallouts. It always resembles style of 1950's kids toys, with names like: 'Space gun', 'Atomic disintegrator' or 'Atomic space gun'
This brought back so much Nostalgia from one-eyed stay up till 6 a.m. playing Fallout 3
Fun fact: The fallout universe actually diverses from ours by the end of the second world war, everything before that is the same as our universe
diverges*
No, it's the late 60's.
I think it's kept vague, the P90 and Uzi make an appearance in the old fallouts.
Not 100% true. There are a few divergences before that, the earliest I think is the samurai captured by aliens in the 1500s. It's true that the biggest divergence is the transistor never being invented in the fallout universe resulting in the world being "stuck" in the 40s/50s
Also it's a bit misunderstood how the divergence works. While most major events were changed, many other events stayed somewhat the same.
Do Vermintide 1 and 2, a lot of renaissance style guns in there.
I want to see a breakdown of UNSC weapons in halo
Another fun video. I’m always happy to see these break downs
From my understanding the divergence occurred right after world war II and significantly impacted the creation of transistors among other things I believe towards the beginning of the Great war that led to fallout vacuum tubes barely became a thing and as well as the divergence being a thing there's evidence pointing that it goes further back even to Lincoln's era as there is a recording of Lincoln's voice. There is evidence of multiple divergent points in fallout universe making it more on par with a parallel universe with slight changes here and there rather than a completely different universe happening at one point
If taking into account Mothership zeta the divergence goes back a very long way, with the Zetans having taken people for centuries.
It may even be that the reasons for major technological divergence was reverse engineered alien technologies, something hinted at as early as Fallout 2 with a sapient AI that was built with alien tech.
@@MediumRareOpinions spot on!
Would love to see him talk about weapons from the Metal Gear series, Maybe MGS3 or even MGS5.
I'd love to see MGSV since all of the weapons are fictional, unlike every other metal gear game.
@@alicev1500 I guess I never noticed that before, but I only played it at my friends house. They seemed to be based upon existing weapons or so I thought.
@@Gatorade69 They are somewhat based on real weapons. I think the reason why they used fictional guns was to avoid having to pay licensing fees to gun manufacturers?
Most weapons in the game are basically mashups between two or more different guns, and given fictional names and manufacturers.
I would love if Johnathan reacted to the weapons of the Stalker series. A lot of them are based on IRL weapons, but tweaked in design and names
Especially with the mods that the Community Made for IT (complete Mod) it would be great.
I see AK5 Adam /Bertil, so mayby in near future we get a reaction to that in games.
Wonderful video. Thank you so much. However, I'm disappointed you didn't show us the museum's secret alien raygun collection :-)
"Switchology" is such a good phrase for things like that, I'm definitely stealing that.
100% want a DOOM series weapon video. Looking at the over the top RPGS, badass big guns and crazy energy weapons would be a blast!
We need Johnathan to react to Borderlands guns.
I want know what he thinks of the super shreddifier
Watch him lose all faith in humanity over Tediore weapons
Would love to see him react to Half-Life weapons, especially the sci-fi ones
Lovely vid. Reminds me a lot of Mikeburnfire. In gun rationalization. The 10MM is modeled off the Desert eagle with the blocky build and slide. All the brass casings ejected in fallout 3 are oversized
I was happy to see the infiltratior. (The suppressed rifle.) the Assault rifle is the barebones version
The G11 canonically exists in the Fallout universe, so not everything after the 50's is necessarily different.
Fallout 2 & especially Tactics are responsible for that. There's also a M4 in New Vegas and it reaaaally felt out of place to me
@@0lionheart. It's especially funny for the M4 lineup in New Vegas considering those are apparently chambered in 5mm rounds rather than 5.56, which I don't see how that makes any lick of sense even by alternate universe standards; This ain't Warhammer 40K where literally everything is constantly out of wack.
currently playing fallout 3 so perfect timing on the video!
I can't wait to see his reaction to Fallout 4's Laser Musket XD
Fallout 4 next
Jonathan will have a fun reaction
Fallout 4 and 76, they both have great weapons to talk about.
@@sanYtheFox Same, and Fallout 4 (as well Fallout 76) had fixed most of the balancing issues with the guns.
and both offer a shitty RPG experience, yey firearms improvements....
.50 pipe bolt-action would explode on the first shot
Oof the assault rifle in that game is…a mess.
I wonder if the combat shotgun could work if you thought of the magazine as being a device that feeds into what would effectively be the tube magazine beneath the barrel of your typical semi-auto shotgun. If you had a gas piston that served to cycle the drum as well as to ram cartridges into the under-barrel portion of the magazine and then also had the mainspring in the stock, it could theoretically work if the ejection port was a little larger and if there was a place for the bolt to go. It'd be a weapon that you'd probably have to clean/repair often, but that fits with how it is in the game.
Johnathan has gotten a lot better at being on camera. He was a little stilted when he started out, but now he's as much of a natural as Ian or Othias.
"This is Johnathan and today he is going to prove to our shareholders that we are still technically profitable"
Jonathan is probably less than a fraction of Gamespots revenue. I don’t think many of you understand how companies like them make money. It’s not by getting a bunch of sweaty nerds to click on a video and make the same comment once a week.
Infiltrator and perforator are my favorites. I would use Lincoln's repeater more if it had more common ammo.
Reacting to the guns in Perfect Dark would be interesting.
I would love to see his reaction to the gun where you just feed the big orange magazine through it.
@@jdng86 or the gun that acts as a grenade when thrown.
@@coachrenaldo or the gun that can shoot through walls
Johnathan really has to cover the timesplitters series. Guns from different time periods, even guns from the future.
Time splitters was so good! My favorite was the pistol that would shoot as fast as you could pull the trigger. I got so good at spamming a GameCube controllers trigger that I broke one.
The assassin who shot the Swedish king Gustav III on a masquerade ball on the 16th of March, 1792 *did* load one pistol with a bullet and nailheads. I don't know if that was the pistol he fired into the king, but the king did die from sepsis in the wound which was apparently complex with many pieces lodged in the king's body.
I always thought the rock-it launcher was a pneumatic thing. More like a spud gun than a blunderbuss.
It would be awsome to see his reaction to the Halo weapons.
I'd love to see Far Cry! Specifically 2 with the silly weapon jams
7:00 Also Pres. Lincoln's actual rifle was a Spencer, not a Henry, and is on display in one of the museums in Springfield, Illinois. I guess we'll just call that a style choice.
The divergence is mostly based on the later development of transistors and a parallel path of atomic power/weapons. The closer you get to the point of that divergence (about just after WW2) the less noticeable the changes. Butterfly effect and such. The further forward you go, the more those various differences compound and snowball into further and further differences through different circumstances creating different chances/opportunities and thus moving along further divergent paths.
I’d love to see Jonathan look at the guns from the Metal Gear Series, mostly Metal Gear Solid 4
Me who just started fallout 3 already having to deal with the fire Ants, super mutants and mirlurk and then seeing the giant scorpion: WTF IS THAT
Just wait for the leveled version, the albino radscorpion. Better have half a dozen mags to spare, at least. 😉
Love this series but im surprised you have yet to cover Far Cry 2 gun jamming and degradation system
Definitely played this game a lot and occasionally go back to it. I remember back then that I liked the Lincoln repeater even though it was fudged the reload. Interesting fact of a repeater with President Lincoln, Christopher Spencer who designed the Spencer carbine and rifle lever action was able to show it to Lincoln and for him to try it out on a target. Which his first shot aiming down the sight was a bullseye and his next shots were very close to bullseye. He was a good shot and he liked Spencer’s repeating carbine which resulted in him sending a message to chief of ordnance Ripley praising the Spencer and voicing that he thinks it would be great to equip the Union forces with in the war. Though Ripley wasn’t really as enthusiastic as the president about was for. But it did succeed in getting into the hands of Union soldiers more than the Henry rifle.
I remember buying the Fallout Vegas guide boy and went around the waste land hunting down rare weapons. My favourite gun in that game was the magnum called Lucky...it used powerful ammo that was rare so I only took it out as a treat.
Can you do the Borderlands series and its legendary weapons.
@Warchick a game
How will that even work? Borderlands guns have no point of reference to real-world weapons and everything about them is unrealistic.
@Warchick a game. You can search it up on either Google or UA-cam for context
@Warchick it's a shooter with rpg elements, randomized weapons, comic art style and powers.
@Warchick hava nice day
"Firing random things out of your gun is a bit of a myth. Nobody did it as far as we know..."
EVERY Shotgun Owner:
demolition ranch and taofledermaus:
Everyone absolutely everyone: How do we make boolets go faster?
Elmer Keith: More powder dummy
He also admitted he didn't play any dlc which is blasphemous imo. Point Lookout & Mothership Zeta were effing awesome. Project Anchorage makes you straightup OP if you're starting a new game. Played 3 my first time after all the dlc was out & you walk away from that with full T45 pwr armor, a missile launcher, 2 unique & op melee weapons & absolute crap ton of ammo & mid-late game weapons. My vanilla playthrough was kind of a cakewalk lol.
@@bhart3321 I think you mean full T-51; as you get Winterized T-51 from the armoury.
Be running towards your target while you shoot.
@@hungryforgsr does T-51 armor even exist in game? I thought it was just T45 armor until anchorage?
@@bhart3321 two things this seemed irrelevant and whats really blasphemy is not even mentioning the gauss rifle...
Me: gets excited about the og AK5 in the background
Jonathan: doesn't talk about it
**sad Swedish noises**
here you can tell us openly - how many alien blasters do you have in the armory ?
hey, how about a video on the weapons in star wars republic commando?
Please have him react to weapons from any Killzone game
We need a new killzone game.
I really want one where you play as the helghast
@@MECHA_DI pretty sure Guerilla have given up on the franchise and are now all in on the horizon games
Do you think Johnathan could react to the weapons from Resistance: Fall of Man?
Based on the music selection within the franchise the divergence point is around 1959, Oxhorn made a video that discusses the divergence point in detail, worth a watch if you've any interest in the lore/timeline
Even with the crazy stuff the happens in the Fallout universe I still wondered what magic had to happen inside for that Combat shotgun to actually function.
I hear "spring loaded follower" and since this is fallout i'm thinking Oooooo gun that launches your followers at targets
