a note about Johnny’s gun: it’s actually from the 2020’s in-universe, which might explain the very “old-school” sights relative to most others.
pre-2013 even, since he has it back then as well
There’s multiple iterations of Johnny’s Malorian Arms 3516 throughout the lore, even one that would shoot rounds that are equivalent to .577 Nitro Express.
Not sure which version of the Malorian we’re seeing in the game but it’s certainly not shooting anything nearly that large.
@@GabrielIgnacio yeah in the RED corebook for 2045 the gun is in rifle cartridge firing smart pistol set up
In lore it fires 14mm rounds which was soley made for killing full Borg
@@mr.nobody2191 is that the in-universe term for someone who's as cybernetically altered, enhanced or otherwise, as you can get without becoming a full robot?
"Angry Bees" is a perfect description for any of the "Smart" guns in Cyberpunk2077.
i now want a legendary grenade launcher in the game known as "hive launcher MK1" That shoots the "angry bee 20mm explosive dispersal rounds". just shoot it into a group and the thing disperses 15 or so bullets that hit anything within 10 meters.
Especially the shotguns though.
@@idiocyincorporated7635 Adam Smasher's legendary shotty is a 4x8 explosive tipped target tracking shotgun. Not quite 15 shots per pull, but I think it's up your alley.
Nicolas Cage frowns on such weapons.
@@idiocyincorporated7635They could repurpose contagion for that
You can decide two different firemodes for SKIPPY. Either target heads exclusively or knees exclusively. After killing certain amount of people, SKIPPY tells you that you are a monster (either because you're a psychotic mass murderer, or because you enjoy crippling people) and permanently changes it's fire mode.
I heard it is 50 people.
Correct, this is important to know. If you were to pick Stone Cold Killer, you will eventually lose that. Which is why it's preferred to pick Puppy Loving Pacifist first, as Skippy will change to Stone Cold Killer after you get about 50 kills with it.
There is also a small quest to return Skippy if you want, but it's not recommended. The reward you get for doing that is small, and you lose Skippy as well.
Edit: Not less important to know, but if you refuse to take Skippy back to its original owner, all it’s dialogue changes to “BAD USER”. This can be avoided by agreeing to give Skippy back, but leaving the quest as incomplete.
Yes, but you get to see happy Regina
@@basvanheumen4231 Depends on your character build. My first and third playthroughs, Skippy was near useless because I wasn't specced for it (first playthrough I specced into assault weapons, third into shotguns/LMGs. Didn't even have a smartlink that time) so I was happy to get rid of Skippy for any reward- plus, as Johnny S said, happy Regina. My second playthrough on the other hand, I was primarily focused on stealth and quickhacking and used pistols almost exclusively when I did have to fight, so Skippy was GREAT.
@@nihtgengalastnamegoeshere7526 I always return Skippy. I just use respector to spawn in skippy without a quest marker to put him on my weapon wall in the stash.
I would have liked to have seen the "Slaught-O-Matic" just to see what he thought of a single-use gun made of plastic injection and that comes out of a vending machine on the street
I used to LOVE those things until they jacked up the price from $90 to $630 each.
@@Mr_T_Badger the only sound reason to buy a 3D printer
@@Mr_T_Badger Why would they do that? That defeats the entire purpose.
@@AndorRadnai probably balance, though increasing the price of budget guns seem a bit counterintuitive, lol
@@AndorRadnai Yeah, most likely that. I would always buy a bunch from a vending machine to scrap them for parts so I'd get crafting XP.
This isn’t at the museum, this is his hobby room.

@@scrubbyjanitor1704 I mean he is in charge of upkeep on all of Britain’s firearms and artillery so it’d make sense
I got the impression that he is skipping work to make the video, so he hid away in the gun vault
@@carloshenriquezimmer7543 Who is gonna complain about his work? Have you seen all the guns he got?
LOL
I always liked the weapon design in Cyberpunk 2077. You can sort of see what they were inspired by (if not completely made up), while also having that dark future touch to it. It's also pretty cool seeing the differences between the weapons that gangsters use in comparison to the corporate militaries, which was a nice touch.
Exactly, I like the Grad (inspired by the M107 Barrett iirc) and the Ajax (clearly an AK expy).
@@Rammstein0963. Grad looks more like a mix of Barret M95 (bullpup) and a Cheytac Intervention
The guns are not made up, they all come from the Cyberpunk source material, the only thing that is original, somewhat, is their designs, but then, they were inspired by the writer of the Cyberpunk sourcebook. Originally, CDPR went with something more futuristic and clean, like space weapons.
@@Rammstein0963. Just looking at that Grad makes me think your average sniper's cyber ware in the legs might need some serious shock absorption if they're not lying prone, and body weight too.
I never remember the names of the guns in games, but I do know the real life guns they mimic, and I kinda understand how some work, just not sure how feasible in our time, like Skippy loads like a stapler, there is no shell casing. If watch Skippy the forward part reciprocate but only slightly. As if to drop the round down. Sorta like a P90.
Then their is the budget tech, it is is a direct mash of a p90 with an mp5a1, same magazine, same stock, and even the slap bolt. But the design of the p90.
I love the train of thought for cyberpunk gun design. Fantasy but based on reality and future workability.
You should show him the budget arms, single use, vending machine pistol, he'd have a laugh at that one
the slaught-o-matic needs way more love. Saturday night special of the future. Only "vending machine special" XD
Kinda like the 3D printed pistols that exist today.
@@meko98743 Exactly.
@@meko98743 well the 3d printed pistols of a decade ago
@@Scrap_Goblin well a decade ago we had the single shot liberator, this one's a bit more complicated than that XD
Jonathan, about the Skippy Gun: "I kind of like it."
Skippy has his charm, but is also infuriating. By design.
I certainly hope they add more Skippy Fun Facts in the future. I'd love to keep him for that.
@@CTyler84 or better yet. get him for permanently from a quest with legendary blueprint
My favourite game to play was "SKIPPY roulette" when I used it.
Simply knock out every enemy in the area using non lethal weapons and then take SKIPPY and aim at their head. Most would survive but a few would experience "accidental discharge". Although I guess if you used skippy as a main weapon rather than a sidearm, I could definitely see him being infuriating
Clippy.
the thing literally fires when you aim (without you pulling the trigger). even failed stealth for me.
It would be cool to see Jonathan react to Wolfenstein guns. Throughout the games the guns evolve and change appearance to reflect the setting, mirror how firearms evolve and change to adapt to their environment.
Second this!!!
For sure
Oh yeah, I love how they handled the pre-timeskip guns in The New Order
@@GoodTato And the Old Blood guns too! They definitely took the New Order guns, demade them for Old Blood and then improved the New Order guns for Colossus! Great designs all around imho. Love the sci-fi Luger especially
Can we see Jonathan ferguson react to the guns of killzone?
The Malorian arms gun is so satisfying to use/reload. Probably my favorite video game pistol to see in action
It's Big Iron™, but cyberpunk.
@@NaruSanavai To the town of Old Night City rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
Cyberpsycho there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was early in the morning when he drove into the town
He came driving from the south side quickly zippin' all around
He's an outlaw loose and running, came the pistol from each clip
And he's here to do some smart-fire with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
In this city lived an outlaw by the name of Silverhand
Many men had tried to hack him and that many men were banned
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of 24
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more
One and 19 more
Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks he'd see
Was an old Night City ranger, wouldn't stay in the city
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe canned
And he said it didn't matter he was after Silverhand
Johnny Silverhand
The DR-12 Quasar is not a conventional firearm, it's one of the so-called "tech weapons" iirc. In other words, a rail gun or gauss gun.
Also, its ammo is little birdshot pellets according to the in game tv show where they discuss the gun. I think that would explain why the angle of the cylinder doesn’t interfere with feeding the shots through the barrel, but the fact that a little round pellet can get sent through solid walls means the ammo is really carrying a lot of force when it gets charged.
A nice touch is that you can see the gun is made of stamped aluminum halves like a WW2 mass production gun. Despite being high tech it's very cheaply made.
I was hoping someone would tell him it fires ball bearings.
@@dtw8446 It's made by Darra-Polytechnic whose firearms are generally in the low budget category iirc, so that would make sense I guess.
it makes no sense to have ammo in such round inefficient shape...
You may (may not) be interested to know that some of the “functional” weapons were designed and concepted by Rmory Studios in Germany. They are lead by a ex-military guys and pride themselves on designing weapons that have an air of “believable” to them.
He also designed a lot of the guns from Killzone Shadowfall! Big fan of his work on the M55, it looks like the Remington ACR to the M82's M16.
Hey, I know something Jonathan apparently doesn't know/remember. The Chiappa Rhino was the last design of one Emilio Ghisoni, a.k.a. the man who designed all of Matebas strange revolvers. It didn't inspire the Rhino, the Rhino is technically the final Mateba design!
There's a lot he doesn't know, but nobody knows everything.
The Mateba pistols are some of the coolest pieces of engineering.
@@FlyboyHelosim But of course, not surprising, everyone misses something everyday
@@londonjolly9174 Yeah I know, but for some reason people put anyone who knows a bit about guns on a pedestal and go over the top claiming they must know everything.
Well it's not really a Mateba, since it's not an autorevolver like the Mateba. The looks are inspired/taken from the Mateba though
Sometimes I wish they gave Jon more info, I feel like someone telling him about the gun categories (power, tech, smart) and their mechanisms he would've appreciated them more
It worth saying that the malorian, Johnny’s one, is at least 60 years old, Johnny was using it in 2013, and I think fires 14mm caseless in the role playing game
Also the bullpup pistol is electromagnetic and fires birdshot, I think
2023 in cp is not supposed to be similar to 2023 irl. just so that you know.
@@chenath9582 I know, they already had cybernetics and mechs etc, but i think it’s a lot more understandable to have older iron sights etc in a time in the cyberpunk world where holographic sights don’t seem to be common, also the abbreviation you used threw me off, has to read the comment a few times
It makes sense for the Malorian Arms 3516 (Johnny Silverhand's gun, the first one in the video) to have 20th century sights. After all, it's a gun from all the way back in 2020, and it was probably made to order years before the events of the Arasaka Tower bombing. So contrary to common sense, the sights are not that anachronistic. The flamethrower attachment on the other hand... yeah.
Well, worth noting Johnny had it made to order and did so, emphasising flash rather than function
Isn't 2020 like 80s or something?
@@weldonwin def not flash over function he wanted a gun that could drop a cyberpsychoed fan from 100 ft no matter how chromed they were
Gun from 2020, Arasaka bombing happens 2023, so I guess technically yeah, it is “years” before the bombing, but in 2077, people will think of it as basically a contemporary gun to the time of the bombing.
I love how even though he is an expert with guns, he still finds many times to actually praise some of the design choices of cyberpunks guns instead of just making fun of everything and only focusing on the negatives. even seems to be a fan of the cyberpunk genre in general :) I like this man
For that weird backwards slanted revolver, if I remember correctly it's supposed to be a rail gun of some sort, so it's possible that the angle doesn't matter too much because the rounds are magnetically pulled out of the cylinder.
always love hearing what Jonathan has to say. he gives his two cents as an expert but also understands that these are video games at the end of the day
The Liberty pistol, the Hudson H9 looking one, actually has an iconic version called Plan B that uses your character’s money as ammunition instead of your actual bullets. Don’t ask me how THAT works. 🤣
Ample indeed
No wonder when Dex shoots you in the head you don't even properly die. Aside from the biochip instantly using nanomachines to rebuild your brain and bring you back to life, he was also using NFT bullets
@@thomastsoukaris6890 I dont understand why Dex is using money for ammo, I'd expect it as a non lethal weapon but lethal? That's really dumb.
Some kind of weird crypto scheme, I guess.
Plan B sounds like a great way to get rid of eddies in-game once you get to the point where buying things becomes absurdly easy. It isn’t too hard to get easy money if you level up your crafting
I absolutely love the guns in CP2077. If nothing else I like how V has to twirl her gun around to examine it if it's new to her.
ok simp
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 found the redditor
I was going to question your comment but V isn't a specific gender, guess you see V as female.
@@artistanthony1007 I always play a female V because I prefer her line delivery over the males
@@LadyLuck-rd5vi I pick male v because his voice is dumb and I think it's funny
"These are inert rounds by the way"
My man Jonathan out here not letting safety slip while handling the drip.
I'm pretty sure they have guns that don't have a safety. As in, guns ancient enough to not have any kind of fire modes other than just not loading the gun or loading it with fakes
It's a musem full of guns, if they weren't super careful with every gun they touch there would be a large crater in the middle of Leeds.
@@estherstreet4582
>crater in the middle of Leeds
*laughs in American*
That's not how guns work.
But I would rather have the UK firearms regulations here in the US.
Petition for a video about Bioshock: Infinite weapons
Please, mr. Jonathan, take a look at it, and hopefuly have some fun figuring out how does all of that weaponry work in 1907
The "swarm of bees" is what's called a "smart" weapon, basically it's a bullet version of the technology used by various air forces where your munitions are linked to a HUD, and wherever you are looking is where the shot's going to go.
It's hilarious with the SMG and rifle versions when you score like 20-30 headshots...in like two seconds. 🤣
terrifying thing is they just developed bullets that can adjust trajectory in flight, so smart weapons are likely only a decade or two away.
@@lexi9956 try they demonstrated them in 2014
@@lexi9956 The trouble with that is the expense and reliability of such things even if they are possible. Smart munitions have to be either wildly better than a competently aimed standard projectile or they need to be as reliable and cheap. It's the reason that the colt 1911 isn't significantly different and still used today even though the design is well over 100 years old.
With all his talk about where he expects gun technology to be in the future, you ought to get him together with an artist to show them. Better yet, work with one of the games and make them a dlc weapons pack, with a portion of proceeds going to the Royal Armouries.
I'd 100% pay money for a gun DLC pack of beleieveble firearms Jonathan helped design
We can dream...
I loved playing with the "smart guns" in cyberpunk. They were the one type of gun that truly felt like crazy futuristic technology.
Funnily enough they're not that crazy futuristic technology, they were demonstrated in 2014, look up EXACTO on youtube and look for DARPA videos
@@MrTrilbe Probably not crazy futuristic in the fact that we can adjust the trajectory of individual rounds but moreso the full on tracking capabilities that smart guns have and at speed too. Plus the rounds are moreso described as micro missiles if anything.
Honestly, it seems if they'd give him some more prep materials, such as capabilities and specs as they work in the game, he might be able to do even better. He seems to not get the Cyberpunk's Tech and Smart weapons
It would be cool to see him react to Half Life Alyx guns. There’s not many, but they are so detailed, and change as you upgrade them.
He would be pleased with the reflex sights, with how his comments on it here is. I want to hear his comment on the pistol's extended magazine more, though. That's more exciting
I'd love to see him react to the guns of Cruelty Squad and their descriptions
The guns in cruelty squad are real but it would be amusing to watch how he reacts to them
I'm kind of curious about Jonathan's campaign against iron sights in future settings. I'd think that ironsights will never be obsolete because they are foolproof. Anything more complicated than a notch or a small sticking metal part is prone to malfunction. You can't "break" ironsights ( at least without some force that probably would be deadly to a gun wielder)
I would think that he is right in saying every full sized pistol will have a red dot pre-installed, but it will probably be removable or have BUIS.
Well, to be fair, it looks like a bit was edited out when he says "well, maybe not no more ironsights," which makes me think he qualified what he meant but it was cut out.
I'm guessing what he said was along the lines of "ironsights will always be there, but red-dots and similar will soon be included as standard with all factory-produced pistols, because the advantage they provide the user far outweighs the cost and risk of failure."
Just guessing, though. I do think it's the logical progression for pistol development, though. They're pretty much standard in competition shooting, so I suspect in a couple of decades they'll be rugged enough for regular military/law enforcement use.
They have red dots in CP2077, they just cost extra but almost every gun can mount them with minimal effort. If you're a serious professional though you get cyber eyes and a grip, the red dot is virtual and you can see your ammo count etc. Iron sights are mostly for the poors. (lots of poors in CP2077, thanks Corporations...)
Or ruin the gun itself.
The only attack that could leave the gun and wield intact would be a angle grinder.
However, who is gonna use one against the iron sights?
@@peterclarke7240 he did say he goes on and on about guns specifics and history, so game spot edits a lot out and sometimes it sounds... A bit wrong.
Jonathan's mention of logical probability really nails my sentiment on video game guns. Sometimes its nice to kind of see the train of thought for their operation.
The Palica Smart Shotgun and its big brother the L-69 Zhuo are clearly based on the metal storm electrically fired ammo system. That's why you drop in a new barrel - the barrel has all the rounds stacked in it as a sealed and replaceable unit.
Get a dev from the game Jonathan reacts to so we can get a better understanding of how and why gun end up like they do in the game.
in for poorly formed decisions from bad devs
Problem is that'd only work for indie devs and b studios like cdpr where the ground level devs actually have input on the design. If he asked the future dev of battlefield 6 or far cry 7 about anything it'd be mostly dead, depressed stares and "marketing said it had to be like that".
Or just remember the actual Motto of Cyberpunk
Rule of Cool
14:00 that pistol reads to me (as someone who has not played cyberpunk) as something akin to a swappable revolver cylinder rather than a magazine. It rotates to position the next round to the barrel and the angle they're at is consistent around the circle so that the "cylinder" can be more compact overall by having a chambered edge along the front thus decreasing the amount of cutaway needed from the gun frame to allow this unique operation while maintaining as much firearm rigidity as possible
With every episode he moves his office deeper into the depths of the Royal armories
Johnathan witnessing the awesomeness that is Skippy is not something I knew I needed till now.
You are not the first Solarian primate who has learned to Trust The Awesomeness.
I really wanna see Jonathan react to some weird guns from the Borderlands series, after seeing his reaction to Skippy
I now really want to see Jonathan react to more of skippy.
Jonathan: THAT'S AMAZING A GUN THAT HAS A TALKING BULLET THAT WEAR SHADES!
Jonathan's Brain: *Maintain you composure, professionalism*
Love the way he try to find a way of non realistic guns to work in our world. It's very nice.
Its a joy to watch this man's reactions and learn from his firearms knowledge. Its also satisfying to see him laugh at hilarious being known as Skippy.
I really love the sheer delight in Jonathan's voice when he's shown Skippy.
I'd love to see Jonathan's opinion on some of the new coil gun technology being created, and if he thinks it could ever reach the popularity of conventional explosive ammunition weapons.
It isn't new at all, it just took a long time to have the ability to deliver enough power and they will equal and surpass current firearms eventually, once we have batteries that can hold enough power... that is quite literally the only thing holding us back... energy storage, because they require a LOT of power.
Energy weapons
I'd love to see a reaction to Borderlands guns and their evolution throughout the series, their designs and functions become nothing short of ludicrous.
The most annoying weapons of borderlands series
Borderlands 1 was pretty reasonable, but 2, prequel, and that other one went off the deep end. Oddly the Torgue is the least weird because the GyroJet was a thing.
If you fired more than one shot you weren't using a Jakobs
100% needs a Bane clip.
2:22 You know this actually makes for a really cool concept, the front sight being a miniature holographic dot, with supplementary illuminated fiber optic or "tru-glo" style translucent neon colored plastic inserts or even traditional tritium vials. for the rear sights.
I, for one (and I'm sure others as well) would love to see a prototype. anyone with a maker's mind and the equipment to do so should take on the challenge, could be a good way to get your name out there not to mention the enjoyment of the process and pride of having taken something from (futuristic!) fiction and bringing it to life. if nothing else someone bring the idea up to the hacksmith, or Adam savage and similar makers to try their hands at it
The DR-12 Quasar seesm to be a railgun. The reloading only adds new projectiles, but have no propellant. This makes sense with its name "Quasar" that ist an event that produces a lot of electromagnetic radiation, and makes sense in gameplay, as you can "charge" it to make it shoot faster.
YES!!! Finally, I've waited for so long for another video of the weapons from Cyberpunk 2077. Let's go.
If they do cyberpunk again they should have a look at the single-use disposable plastic pistols that you can buy out of vending machines.
I thought they were useless in game, but really cool for world-building and not too far off from a current budget gun like a hi-point or something.
Yeah that was definitely a missed opportunity
Funny thing about that car analogy, there are cars in this game without any windows. They have a dome inside that projects everything captured by exterior cameras, giving you a pretty clear view.
Loving the C&Rsenal shirt! I got that one too.
Wow, the Hundson H9 is like nearly just the Unity pistol in Cyberpunk.
If my memory serves right, there is an in-game ad for thr Pulsar pistol (bullpup pistol) that explains that the ammunition are actually BB-gun like pellets that are just sent at high speeds with the techy railgun system it has on board. I don't think there is any propellent at all there?
The R&D for the pistol took one look at the F=MA equation, and generated all the force from the acceleration jaja
Speaking from memory the Quasar is supposed to be magnetic - with an action more in common with cylinder mag airguns than a conventional firearm. Also, there *is* a series of bullpup pistols that were marketed - see Ian's video on the Boberg XR9S and XR45S (also apparently rebranded the Bond Arms Bullpup Pistol after a company sale).
Also on the Malorian Arms gun, I found the rotating action interesting - I thought it might imply another semi-bullpup action where it would have 2 chambers, pulling a round off the mag on one part of the cycle, and loading it on the other.
16:57 Those might be the emergency mag releases for if the battery dies and you need to decouple the mag from the gun.
I wonder if Johnathon ever gets to shoot any of the cool firearms they have, cause he’s got to be a gun guy, so he’s gotta really want to take some of them to the range.
I think this has been my favourite episode of Jonathan reacting to videogame guns - the weapons were both creative and thought-through enough for him to appreciate while even providing some unique ideas and humour he liked
I am so happy the Kongou got some time in this video. It has a solid place in my heart and my inventory. You fight through hordes of enemies with a gun, you come to love it.
Every now and then I watch a video with this guy. It’s funny, over the years he’s clearly gotten more familiar with the gaming world and where it intersects with gun stuff.
Seems to me he's atleast played some fps's. Maybe still does
@@piotr78 he has played classic fps like quake, but doesn't get a lot of time to play latest games.
An episode on the Metal Gear Solid series would be cool, particularly if Johnathan can critique/respond to how the characters describe the guns.
Thank you for making these! I always enjoy these videos.
This is awesome. I hope there will be episode 2 since there is bunch of other guns in the game to check out. I totally want to see what Jonathan thinks about Comrade's hammer.
Jonathan needs to voice a gunsmith in a video game where he compliments or criticizes you based on how practical or goofy your gun setup is
I would absolutely love to see his reaction to how both the games in the "Receiver" series mimic the real thing as both games were made to simulate as close as possible to realism
One of the first things I do when I load up a new save is go and get Skippy. That's how you level up reflexes and pistol capabilities fast and easy. Turning him in is the last thing I do before meeting Hanako for the final main story mission.
I was hoping John would've mentioned the fact the Guillotine has an HK slap even though the latch goes down and V somehow hits it on the top and sets it back in place.
I love these ones where we look at scifi guns through a realistic lens. I'd love to see him take a look at the old Unreal tournament guns.
Jon: If you look at the ammo counter when using the secondary attack "flamethrower" mode the round count goes down. I haven't read any canon on it, but it coincides with using the gun as a pistol whip/club. My assumption is that it was somehow grenading the round at the muzzle.
That attack has zero range, only works in concert with melee. Hence I never regard it is a flamethrower or projectile attack.
Favourite episode so far!
love to see more direct compairisons between the game guns and whatever equivelents you can find in the armory
I think Jonathan would really like Titanfall 2's weapons. They're really unique, especially the grenadier and titan weapons. I know he already did Apex, but it doesn't have nearly enough cool weapons compared to Titanfall 2.
Nice to see Johnathan having fun after enduring the "what they have done to you" from vanguard.
The last gun shown in the video is what the game calls a Tech Precision Rifle, powerful, mid ranged weapon whose best feature they didn't show you, which is that its sight allows the user to see heat through solid objects, so you can see if enemies are on the other sides of walls or behind obstacles and the rifle shoots (supposedly) with such force it can shoot through those objects. From a game standpoint its a cool weapon :)
Awesome video! Looks like the last gun fires 5 at once
The Masamune kinda gives me a sort of Vector vibe with the way that the magazine is in front, so its action could be similar to that, but it also gives me a P90 vibe with its top rail
I still wanna hear him talk about the service weapon in Control
As far as i understand it, Budget Arms guns are designed to be completed by a 3d printer in a Budget Arms Vending Machine. So they are probably all using weird hybrid parts for interchangeability.
They have added more guns so hope those can be reviewed aswell love this! :DDD
Bruh weapons from upgrade are here in that video
Umbra is from patch 1.6
It would be nice to see Jonathan react to Borderland 3's guns. It has unique and weird guns, some of them have weird magazine placement and weird barrels.
That is probably on of the more bizarre T-Shirts on the show.
It blows my mind how i have more than 100 hours to this game and ive actually seen less than half of the guns you have showed, this game has a ton of guns and each one feels unique and along with the massive world they have created
Skippy: happy slaughtering!
Gun expert: *maniacal laughter*
Love to see more Destiny and Cyberpunk firearms critiques. There's a lotta sci-fi vs conventional things to break down with their lineup of guns
I see the future of red dots differently than Jonathan. I see them more as video game style reticles project on a set of glasses the shooter wears from a camera on the weapon . That way you don't have to get the gun up in a shooting position. And the camera would allow you to stick just your hand around a corner and make an accurate shoot from safety.
I loved SKIPPY!!!
When I played through a second time, I got Skippy, Satori, Divided We Stand, nanowire, and Overwatch. Add Mantis Blades and an Arm Launcher and you’re basically unstoppable.
I already love the firearms in 2077, but these videos give me great new insight and that makes me love it even m9rw.
12:40 That looks very similar to the USFA Zip 22 pistol, similar in design as its a bullpup .22lr pistol that takes Ruger 10/22 mags.
Please could Mr Ferguson react to some of the more unusual guns in Warframe, with seperate videos for Tenno and Grineer firearms if possible. Think Jonathan will have a blast trying to get his head around the strange guns in that game XD
Great game, great video and great host. This was a lot of fun and also quite informative.
This might be my favorite episode so far
Thanks JF and Dave. Please can we have Bioshock series, Wolfenstein reboot series and Titanfall universe please?
Some of these guns have one design aspect to them that I haven't really seen in modern firearms: It's a vertical shell around a functional core. Or to me it looks like one.
You see in first person how it has a seam running down the center of it, much like a jerrycan. My assumption is that it has a sceletonized core or a functional firearm unit, that gets put into a clamshell chassis. In a way kind of like the G11 where it's mostly just a plastic box that a gun is put into. Might be the "budget" way to do it. The only precision machined parts need to be in the functional core, the shell can be very cheap and sloppy as opposed to most modern firearms where the shell is the receiver and it has to be or house components critical for reliable operation.
We see shells in modern firearms or designs that function similarly but they are all generally tubes or split horizontally into upper and lower receivers. Vertical clamshells are something I don't think anyone has really done other then germans in WW2.
Would love to see that one gun that I sadly forgot the same of (been a while since i played).
Iconic smart smg where the gun itself sort of grabs the magazine you hold next to it. That has always struck me as very cool!
An honorable mention in relation to the holographic type sights. In the games universe if you will, you have a robotic eye that links to the sights on your weapons so to others they can’t even see that you have an attachment really at all.
This must be fun and interesting for the cyberpunk2077 devs to watch. Hope they see this
Hunt: Showdown has added a lot of new weapons and tools/explosives. It would be cool to see another video done on that.
Was waiting for this
See the rectangle shaped targeting display (chamfered at the corners) when you select a smart weapon? As long as you keep your target inside that, bullets home in even behind obstacles. That display comes not only with the weapon but a special cyberware implant inside your palm, called the "smart link", enabling the use of auto-targeting system in smart weapons. A similar system called "ballistic coprocessor" is also used with power weapons' projectiles for increased chance of ricocheting from surfaces, doing possible splash damage in an area.
"I need my Payday 2"
I hope that intro means Payday 2 is coming, the customization is gonna melt his brain I think.
Also Killing Floor 2 would be a good fit for this I think
I was actually really hoping you guys would do a video on this lol
I want him to see the Dian smg the mechanics behind that gun are mind bending
