The sporter was all over the place because the scope was zeroed at 200 meters
That's a very challenging range to use a .22LR at.
@@derekp2674 well the gus just arent acurate if you zero too high. i always use 100 meters and aim a bit up because its just easier
The scope that was on the sporter can't be zeoroed to less than 200m
it's the minimum range setting on that thing, no?
Wrong
Dear Jonathan: DayZ’s Creative Director (2013-2018) here - it is of course, an apocalyptic setting. DayZ actually had the largest concentration of veterans on the team for Bohemia at the time.
Additionally, I made sure we had our artists and animators spend significant time on the range.
Thank you for this amazing game!!
you turned out possibly the best open-world zombie survival game there is. Worth it.
Man I wanna sincerly express my condolences for the whole alpha period. When people kept asking and asking why no new patches on the old engine came while you had stated the development of the new one and that making patches for the soon to be dropped version would be a waste of the manhours. I myself was angry no one even thought there could be a reason for this and look if someone said what the reason was but rather instantly feel scammed without any checks, rage about it and insult you guys over it. I always loved the game you made and it was part of what made me want to be a gamedeveloper too ^^
yeah it's free to pretend to be someone else
Can you actually prove you're Brian Hicks? It seems that you're acting as an imposter.
7:35 the reason the sawed-off variant was added was because people complained about the horrendous sight picture. While the sights are exposed the plus side is that you can see something through them. Notable is that you have to saw it off manually with a saw, the unsawed variant is the one that spawns.
Maybe someone lost an eye and couldn’t see around the gun…
@@atlas4733 All FPS PCs are cyclopses
Oh so you need to saw the base weapon to get the "sawn-off" version. I did not know that.
BTW what he said about the lower receiveris wrong I'm in the french military and it's very common for Famas to be in this state sometimes there's bit of the handguard missing and the polymer (glass fiber) appear greyish, the game misses some textures details to recognize it from steel
@@theworkshopwhisperer.5902yes and then you would also need to find a hacksaw in world to actually remove the top
Jonathan - "This game takes itself too seriously to have a gold plated gun"
Me - "Oh god, I hope he sees the Gold Deagle"
Same here
But the gold deagle is realistic to life it's literally an option that magnum research sells
Ong same I was like “👀👀”
its not deagle its a
Desert Eagle, gosh.....
@@theodore1183 … and you’re a professional firearms expert?? 😂
I'd love for Jonathan to keep the gold plated MP5K around in his videos on Gamespot and the Royal Armouries as an easter egg
Hidden in background of every video😂
Saudi* mp5
Kind of disappointing that the very first weapon shown is missing any parts - the MP5s spawn with handguards so that's a real shame.
I came here to say the same thing
Fr, showing the "base" gun was a dumb decision because the point of it is that you're supposed to find different attatchments and fit them as you need. Lightweight or full stock, normal foregrip or rail foregrip, etc etc. It looks weird without all the attatchments...because its not supposed to be used without them, loll
Not all the time, i get bare bones ones all the time
@@Thisandthat8908 You obviously dont know what kind of game dayz is lol
More likely whoever captured the video saw that in third person the player character is holding onto a non-existant grip and thought it would be funny, especially since Jonathan is a huge fan of the MP5.
Later a fully decked out MP5 is used to show the stoppage, so both sides are covered at least somewhat.
(Same reason the AKM was shown without any furniture, so Jonathan can compare to an actually stripped gun)
I know I've played too much DayZ when I can easily identify where each clip was shot on the map.
Same
😂 right when people send me pics of their bases I usually can guess where they at
Same haha
Same here man
Everyone with more than 2 seconds in game can do that
Jonathan seemed particularly up for it today, not saying he ever gives the impression of not being up for it but he was a lot more playful this episode. It was a very good one due to that.
Also, Mike, it's a Deagle.
Since Jonathan is the keeper of firearms AND artillery, how about showing him the various powder weapons of the total war: warhammer trio of games? Its got renaissance handguns all the way to the wackiest forms of fantasy artillery.
This is a neat idea. A strategy game in general would be a fun change of pace from all the shooters as well.
Queen Elizabeth’s pocket pistol…
He said somewhere that he is not an expert on artillery actually, that's just a title unfortunately
That still'd be cool though
By his own admission he isn't actually much of an expert on artillery, just small arms. He couldn't with good faith say much about them.
Napoleon or Empire.
Get outta here with that Warhammer.
Fun fact for those who don't know, the "Z" in "DayZ" stands for "Zero," not "Zombie." 🧠💡
Really?
Yes
Soo happy to see DayZ on this channel. Played thousands of hours myself and will always vouch for DayZ being one of the best video games ever made.
Whether cooking by a campfire, or watching the colours and lighting change as the sun goes down - fighting desperately against a dozen zombies, or tracking a gunshot that came from over a kilometer away. There is just so much to love about DayZ.
lol
The game is one of the best arguments for time limits on early access games
@RustieFawn I fail to understand what relevance DayZ being "early access" has against its quality? I mean if you know anything about the developers you would know they've had to stop working on it several times due to forces outside their control, yet they've always come back to it and are still releasing updates based on user feedback every couple of months.
Yes it's technically "early access" still - but I'm pretty certain the devs could choose to define it as "full release" any day they wanted and it would change... Nothing?
@@AtlasJay That it is an unfinished bug filled mess. That became like that because of an influx of cash and lies that it would be updated, supported and finished. In a huge part thanks to early access.
@RustieFawn Okay bud. Your opinion then. I've got over 2000 hours on the game and very rarely do I encounter any bugs or glitches that significantly blemish the game play.
Servers with tons of mods tend to be much more unstable, but that's the nature of playing with mods. Vanilla servers or servers with very limited mods are very stable in my experience.
Jonathan got 500 frags with the MP-5 and unlocked the gold skin
The Ruger 22 has a hidden ability. If you shoot it with a silencer it is really quiet, and Zombies will travel to the point of impact if you miss them.
infected
I own the Baikal MP-43 that the BK-43 double barreled shotgun is modelled after! Mine is is the single trigger model tho, but it has proper ejectors that look exactly like the parts in the game. Really cool to see it put in a game.
5:43 The reason the sporter is missing is because it is zeroed at the wrong distance.
That's exactly what he says like 10 seconds later, saying how the inaccuracy can be realistic if you just picked it up from a shed with a "poorly fitted or poorly zeroed scope- in this case" in his words
@@CoolAndrew89 Yes, thats why i said this, as a confirmation that he was right
Except that doesn't make a gun inherently inaccurate from a grouping perspective.
Dude is a .22 you can’t sight a .22
@@kingboy9254 Well you gottta tell that to the DayZ devs
13:32 He absolutely does hold the bolt catch. Watch the first person perspective again, and you'll see a very deliberate animation of the hand dropping and hitting it
I really want to see Jonathan break down the guns from The Order 1886
We know. He'll get there eventually, I'm sure.
@@peterclarke7006 same
Same
Good luck in your endeavor.
Some of the guns may make him have a break down
5:45 the amount of misses are likely because of the scope, which is zeroed at minimum 200 meters, and the very slow bullet travel time.
Who zeros a 22 lr at 200 meters?
I wanna see an episode where Jonathan Ferguson the weapons keeper designs his own guns for a futuristic game. It would be cool to see what he could come up with for a game or movie themed gun.
Finally! Dave is doing Dayz. This is a great survival game I have more than 2,000 hours playing. Favorite weapon is the M-16A2
Rookie numbers.
Who's Dave?
@@DrownInLysergicDave's not here, man.
@@DrownInLysergic Dave? Dave's not here
Id make quick work of you with a sawed off BK-43 homeslice
I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long
I give thanks for making this happen as a DayZ fan
at about 17:32 I have a note. I have a old L.C. Smith side by side, presumably a No. 00. It is possible to fire both barrels at the same time, but is unpleasant to do so. The safety seems to have 4 positions, neither, left, right, and both. however it is somewhat loose, and may simply be that it doesn't strictly function as intended after years of use. (after all the youngest that gun could be is 107 years old)
Also in spite of lacking ejectors, with thicker walled cartridges (they don't swell as much), on low round counts ( where it hasn't heated up yet) and opening the gun swiftly, it is possible to push the shells free while opening. However the conditions have to be just right to be able to do it. But it can be done.
"Friendly in Cherno"
*memory activation*
Had an old Italian double barrel when I was a kid that was real sketch at times. I usually only loaded 1 round at a time because whenever it wanted it would let off both rounds.
Fantastic video once again. Would love to see this series tackle the weapons from the recently released Starship Troopers Extermination. Having movie prop analogues to compare to re weapon component origins would make for some interesting discussion. If there aren't enough from that one game you could dip into Strangelite's 2005 title to expand the arsenal a bit.
The sawing off of the le mas is because aiming down sight is a single eye perspective. The sight guard/handle obscures the players vision/awareness, so the option is there to get rid
and the sawing off the mosin is 10x worse
You're absolutely correct about the M4/16 charging handle. You only take your shooting hand off of the pistol grip when you have to engage the bolt stop. It's been a while, but if you have a stovepipe or other failure to eject it's something like:
Hold weapon at low ready, safe weapon, depress magazine release, if magazine does not drop, left hand strips magazine from weapon (pull it hard so it comes out), left hand grips lower receiver at mag well, right hand comes off pistol grip, right hand pulls charging handle to rear, left thumb engages bolt stop, right hand returns charging handle to locked position (put it back), right hand returns to pistol grip, rotate right hand left towards body 45 to 90 degrees, Inspect chamber and magazine well for obstructions, clear obstruction if necessary, left hand locks new magazine into well, left hand depresses bolt stop paddle, bolt stop disengages, buffer spring returns bolt carrier group forward into battery, move selector switch into desired position...something like that.
Regarding the .357 DEagle, presumably it's found as is in the game, given it's a survival situation and all. Regardless, I'd imagine if you did find one you'd probably want it to be in the .357 Mag, as finding ammunition for it, while still not necessarily easy, will be a lot simpler than finding .50 AE. And your wrists will likely be less prone to wanting to fall off after you empty a mag or 2...
It being a 357 makes it seem less obnoxious for whatever reason
it is also a .357 because there are other guns in 357 in the game and that makes it a "upgrade" and easier to find ammo for, the lever action, the revolver and the derringer use .357 so its not thaat hard to find ammo for this deagle.
I think the only gun that specifically has ammo that is only useable for it is the mosin using 7.62x54mmr
Makes no sense. Do you honestly think any serious DE owner is going to think, "hey, in case there's ever going to be a zombie apocalypse, I better order mine in the smaller caliber so that any future survivors who will be looting it off my carcass can carry the more economic rounds"?
@Anvilshock some people may just be reasonable and not want something that they won't find ammo for in their postsoviet country
With the M4 clip you have to keep in mind that in the Dayz universe, civilians are the main characters handling these weapons and may not understand certain things about how to properly handle/clear firearms.
Like civilians calling a magazine a "clip" when the M4 certainly doesn't use a clip.... the Mosin, SKS, or even Magnum Revolver would, but the devs are absolutely lazy AF and have refused to return any of the actual clips into the game.
@@johnnygeorgopoulos4072 not sure if you’re referring to me using clip, but it wasn’t in the way you might think, I was meaning in regards to the clip in the video showing the m4. (Source: 4 1/2 year Army Vet)
Been waiting for this for years! Got over 200 days played game time in dayz. Keep up the good work Dave and John.
Please do a part 2! DayZ is a great one to look into
5:42 All weapons equipped with the hunting scope can't be zero'd below 200m. So if you're going for headshots you have to aim a teensy bit low for most rifles, but because of how the .22lr arcs in game, the 200m zero is crippling.
Funnily enough there is a gold-plated desert eagle in the game that spawns just as frequently as the normal one.
I was thinking the same thing. I don't know if it's a mod or not but you can also get a gold AK
@@dixongamer2247its a mod
I'm pretty sure the gold deagle is like 10x more rare.
Same with an engraved 1911
@@baguettelord4614 I thought it was about the Golden Deagle, my bad man
Deleted my comment
You can 100% shoot some side by sides at the exact same time. Worked with a gunsmith for years, we shot some sideby sides that did this in his test range.
Yup, my dad had an old baikal with twin triggers. We were shooting clays and I thought it would be funny to fire both at the same time.
It wasn’t funny
@@Tam_Mullen93 you are right on man.
@Tam_Mullen93 I have 2 double trigger Baikals, an IJ26 side by side, and an IZh-12 over under. Very fun shotguns. Both barrels at once can rock you pretty hard if you're shooting heavier loads.
I have been waiting for this ever since I've come across this series!! Ty
Been waiting for this one. Not enough people talk about DayZ. One of my favorite games ever.
I've been waiting so long to hear what Johnathan thinks of DayZ! Awesome stuff.
Ahhh what a great game and great to see you go xover some of the guns. Would love to see a part 2 with the mkII, sks, m16, scorpion, makarov etc.... Evem the m79.
Thank you for this. I have been waiting for this
with the AR. if the bolt is pulled to the rear and the bolt catch is putting pressure on it, you dont need to hold the catch lever, it stays there from the forward pressure of the buffer tube spring. you then release the bolt by pressing it on the top ,releasing the bolt.
Interesting to hear about stoppages and how they should be dealt with. Perfect subject for a look at Receiver 1 or 2 and to show off the more intricate handling and usage of each gun in detail. Fewer guns overall but would like to see Jonathan deep dive into each one on from an accuracy and realism aspect.
The derringer has multiple varieties in the game. the pink one is preferred for ritual sacrifice or humiliation.
I so badly wanna be able to put a pink Derringer in my boot
coastal water well freshie executions or geared hostages?
My brother used to own a shell ejecting double barrel shotgun with three triggers. The third trigger was I believe set just to the right and rear of the two other triggers, firing both shots simultaneously.
It's been a very long time so I may be misremembering the trigger setup a bit, but it certainly had the ability for simultaneous barrel firing.
Yes!! I've been waiting a long time for this one!
Again, I would like to see the guns in Vermintide 2, given that they are roughly renaissance era black powder firearms and jonathan is a museum curator, so these would be right up his alley.
F**K YEAH Jonathan!!! 7 mutated thumbs up for your comments on sexism/misogyny in both the firearms and video game industry. It makes me VERY HAPPY that men like yourself represent important and often crusty institutions not afraid to speak up. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 …I should probably say I’m a fully grown (older than you) ex-service MAN who has maintained a love of firearms history while not buying into the culture. Oh, and as a Basque Australian - ZED! Yes!!!
Heh, it's possible Jonathan is assuming a bit too much, the vast vast majority of pink guns I've seen have been used by men anyway. =)
The Killzone series has some great original designs I think would be cool to see his thoughts on
You should look at the guns in Receiver 1 and 2, that game takes its gun accuracy very seriously
I'd love a breakdown video of STALKER: Anomaly with the Boomsticks and Sharpsticks pack. So many different AKs and other guns that it's almost silly.
So happy to see this. DayZ is my all time fav.
I am not surprised but still rather pleased to hear The Zombie Survival Guide get a mention. I love that book, and World War Z. Both are in a prime location on my bookshelf, next to Foundation and Dune.
Might need to rewatch those beginning M4 animations for the bolt catch lol
As a DayZ fanatic, I really appreciate your coverage
I really want to see Jonathan take a look at the gun and experimental variants in Generation Zero!
5:00 So glad someone brings it up! My copy is pretty busted. A .22 and a crowbar, the best weapon combo for the zombie apocalypse.
love to see this, hope at some point in the future you can get Jonathan to look at the guns in Stalker GAMMA, or the new game when it comes out (finger's crossed) in december
Pushing as always for you guys to have Johnathan cover Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and to cover the M8 and MRI Caseless specifically as well.
I'd love to see Jonathan react to the guns from "into the radius vr". They have a lot of fun details and gun cleaning mechanics which I'm sure he'd appreciate
Jonathan Ferguson you are the man! Thank you for everything - You Are Awesome!
Been waiting for this one for ages thanks Jonathan
I once again asking that Jonathan check out the weapons of Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided :D cmon guys, he played the games, would be interesting to hear about those weapons and those games got some wacky ones too
I thought the .22 was missing due to the bullet travel time. I saw the rounds hitting the backround late
A mixture of that, and the gun being zeroed for the wrong range.
200m is the minimum for the scope
the zombie survival guide is one of my favorite elementary school memories and getting to go to the royal armories museum in london is one of my favorite recent ones so it’s cool to see the two coincide
We need a part two with the blaze and the vsd!!!
I would love to see Jonathan cover the entire Red Faction Series. The weapons in that game are all designed around modern weapons but also feature some intersting alternate fire methods and destructive possibilities, including the rail gun with an xray scope and the ability to fire through walls.
i would love to see jonathan react to more of the guns in dayz there are plenty more than shown here
i had no idea that dayz had an mp5k. I also 100% agree with what you said about the desert eagle. I have a couple friends talking about getting a .357 desert eagle and i give them a hard time about not wanting to get a "real one" of course 357 mag is no weak round but DE in 50 is just satisfying.
Series idea- we put Jonathan in a survival show and see how long he would last. The enjoyment is seeing him adapt to the weathered weapons and him rolling his eyes at the quality of weapons he finds
Now I wanna see Jonathan dual-wielding Deagles
That was the one video I was wishing for 🙏 thanks
8:00 It's a common thing for the lemas user to saw off the carry handle for sight picture(ingame). Ive heard this makes the gun break faster in game, but the change is worth it.
I would really love to see Jonathan break down the pistols in Revolver 2. That game is so unique with the handling of sidearms, and provides vocal clips of gun safety and gun information.
I wanna see jonathan break down the guns of phantom forces i think it would be intresting
The main reason why the 22 calibre rifle was recommended in the Zombie Survival Guide is because of the fact that it doesn't produce as much noise as a large calibre gun. More noise - more zombies.
Warframe. He would have an aneurysm
So sad the British have been castrated by their own government into having a few men out of the 156,000 firearm owners left onto those who are primarily wealthy to show off their historic armory because they’re super rich elite don’t want the average Britain owning any of the specimens of their rich background in firearms which includes the 617,000 firearms owned by elite super rich private citizens who do not care about the safety of the average British person. My great grandfather left the UK because of this God bless you all.
There are two versions of the Famas in DayZ one with the handle and scope and the sawn off model
I’ve been waiting for you to do Day Z for a long time. Thank you!
The mp5 foregrip is pretty much always found attached to the gun in dayz. I’m not sure I’ve ever found one that doesn’t have a stock and foregrip by default.
I have a coach gun that has two triggers and exposed hammers.
Front trigger fires right barrel, rear trigger fires both.
In the MP5k jam clip when the character slaps the gun you can briefly see something eject out, so presumably it had case that failed to eject. It seems weird that that would work though, if it wasn't partly out of the port it would get blocked, and if it was it would make more sense to hit it or grab it directly from the other side.
This games long been a staple of my gaming library.
Would love to see more!
Forgot about these videos. Glad this made its way back into my algorithm
The Deagle part was hilarious =)
It’s always interesting to see a really neat armory like this in a country that doesn’t allow most of the firearms covered. I guess it’s a museum as well but interesting nonetheless
You have to find the attachments such as forward hand guard or grip.
I've seen plenty of gold plated guns from Mexico, South America, and the Middle East. With laser cutting/engraving and cnc engraving machines becoming so common, a lot of companies and individual shops are "engraving" very aggressive designs in the metal and plastic of all sorts of guns. It's no longer in the realm of custom shops and old world Mexican craftsmen.
I seen this with MP-5... Some worn down have tendency to stick an empty shell above the extractor and push it to the guiding rod for charging handle. It can be cleared easily by removing a mag and pulling the bolt back, but it is VERY hard to clean with mag in.
Iv not handled a famas irl but sawing off that handle is definitely a upgrade to the sight picture in the game
I have been waiting for this video for so long 😢
Hey Jonathan! I love these videos. Can't get enough of them.
Some suggestions for future videos:
Black (PS2)
Far Cry 3 : Blood Dragon.
Duke Nukem 3D.
Thankyou, this is the one I have been waiting for, and yes its annoying that they dont name the wpns correctly (seeing as thye do manage it in ARMA...) but at least on PC there are mods to get this correct, would have been nice for you to have included the LAR (FN FAL) in the list.
I remember seeing A -man with a- golden gun at the White Tower, do not remember what kind because I did not care about them at that time...but it existed, and I remember that. Definetly the coolest part of that exhibit though is the dragon made out of armour (apparently named Keeper).
was waiting this vids from month/years
Here in Finland the one really serious rule in hunting groups is "you never shoot a boar" if you're not hunting boars. You be very nice and quiet and let them go, because they won't stop for nothing and your thighs are very quickly not in working order when a fang slices you up between your legs. And they're really really fast on top of being strong and armed with the sharp fangs. They don't have a kind nature.
I'd love to see a game figure out how to create all the visual illusions that happen with human eye. For example that rear sight thing where it's a tiny needle hole and your front sight might look something small and really impossible to plant on a target, but once you look through the needle hole, your vision is filled with the front sight and the tiny target. But at the same time you can also keep both eyes open and have peripheral vision. Or just the common illusion that the moon is huge on the sky, but once you grab a photo you can barely see the tiny dot.
missed a lot this game had to offer like the gold deagle, the mp5 having stocks and grips, the zeroing optics and accurate sizing of the reticules for range estimation. also the bk43 double barrel is specifically a bakail izh43, same with bk12 and bk18
alsp the deagle is 357 because of ammo availability. 357 is also used in the magnum revolver (colt python twd reference but not 44 for the same reason as deagle?) and repeater carbine
12:00 now that is a difference... Holly cow! 😮
Oh how I’ve been waiting for this!
2:50 there is a foregrip attachement in the game, that is at not equipped int he short clip shown in the video
the sawn off handle on the famas and the thing about situational awareness, is the sole reason, why I only limit myself to weapons with open sights in ARMA3 SOG 😛
there are so many more guns I like but I just can't see what is attacking me, if my view is limited to a tiny hole on the screen 😀
