@@mr.bobcyndaquil4214 The RPG was actually based on the German Panzerfaust uses against Allied tanks which in turn was inspired by the Bazooka captured off US soldiers.
Soldier thinks his coat was made in America, despite it being made in China. He also had to be convinced that his teammates are Americans with funny accents
I thought is was a reference to both the demon and missing eye and the soldiers helmet covering his eyes. Thus it’s why only the soldier and demoman can use it because their both only half blind.
3:52 I'm pretty sure the Mantreads are supposed to be tank boots, called so as their lack of laces was designed to not get caught in the moving internals of a tank.
Also the laces would melt when the ejected shells would touch them, but modern tanks either burn the casings during firing (American system) or they eject them automatically (Russian system)
Sorry to ruin the joke, but fighter jets cant drop atomic/hydrogen bombs. Only bomber planes can such as the B29 Superfortress and the B2 Spirit stealth bomber I dont think that F14 and MiG-24 fighters can carry a large atomic bomb
@@Cbrmkn98xs He did not mention that it was fighter jets, only jets. Also shooting is the wrong term for dropping a bomb. And also atomic bombs were never dropped out of a jet during war. It’s also not a atomic bomb, but a regular bomb, also it is not a jet projectile, it is rocket powered designed to destroy jets.
@@Jcakedafurry what i mean is, not a single jet-powered fighter ever dropped one. The B29 and the B52 are the only capable(if you exclude Russian and Soviet ones)ones of dropping them.
*Things you Missed:* Rocket Launcher: The recoil pattern from the rocket launcher seen in-game shouldn't really exist; the entire point of the concept of this type of rocket launcher is for all exhaust to leave the rear of the launcher, and with that virtually all the recoil as well. (Hence the fact they were originally referred to as "recoil-less rifles".) It should probably be noted that such a design does have back-blast; anyone standing directly behind it has a very serious chance of injury or even death. Game files also show an animation that indicate the RL was going to be single-shot only, much like the Team Fortress Classic counterpart. One final note: I did find that the Swedish "Carl Gustaf Recoilless Rifle" looks surprisingly similar to the RL, but I'm guessing it is likely a coincidence as I had to do some digging before I found it by accident. Original: There are unused game files that included unique particle effects, as well as additional sounds for picking up ammo and using chat. The weapon also fires directly in a straight line instead of at an angle, which can be either an advantage or disadvantage depending on the circumstances. Direct Hit: While the first weapon that came to mind as a basis for this would be the Mk 153 Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon ("SMAW") I did find that the FIM-43 Redeye looked strikingly similar to the Direct Hit. (It's worth noting two things here: the 'build dates' for the Redeye was between 1962 and 1970, and that the successor, originally entitled "Redeye II", became the FIM-92 Stinger, which also strikes a resemblance to the Direct Hit.) Black Box: Aside from the term for an aircraft's Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder, the term "black box" is used to describe an object with a known function but with an unknown means of internal operation (ie, how you get health by shooting people, or how Soldier crams a bunch of rockets into what are effectively single-shot weapons). "Black box" is also American slang for a briefcase that contains nuclear launch codes. Liberty Launcher: Original names included "Jumper's Trumpet" and "Liberty". Cow Mangler 5000: The weapon name is a nod to that classic scene of a cow getting abducted by aliens via some sort of beam of light. Beggar's Bazooka: The original name for this was "Doe's Dumpster Device". It was also submitted as a mass item set. This not only included the "Helmet without a Home" (originally '"Gunner's Guard") and "Captain's Cocktails" (originally "Forager's Frags"), but also included weapons such as "Survivalist's Slugger" (shotgun), "Manly Maggot Masher" (shovel), and the "Busted Booster" (banner). Air Strike: Originally uploaded to the workshop under the name "The Atom Launcher". Buff Banner: On the back, it has the text "Screaming Eagles", which is a reference to the US Army's 101st Airborne Division, nicknamed 'Screaming Eagles'. The Festive version has this text replaced with 'Smissmiss'. Gunboats: Gunboats is a type of military vessel created for the purpose of ferrying guns to bombard coastlines. It's also worth noting that, had Demoman won the WAR! Update, he would have ended up receiving the Gunboats instead of Soldier. Battalion's Backup: Concept art shows the banner was originally going to be team colored. Mantreads: The name is a joke off of boots that are designed for certain walking surfaces (snow treads, mountain treads, etc.); hence the name, MANtreads. BASE Jumper: Originally uploaded under the name "Troop Chute". Panic Attack: The Panic Attack's original name was, appropriately, "War Drum". Side note: the original kill icon strongly resembles an item in the workshop under the name "Raiding Aid"... Shovel: The crit animation is very similar to a scene in "Meet the Soldier"... more specifically, the scene where he absolutely demolishes a Spy. The Equalizer: The Equalizer was originally given to Poopy Joe to "pierce the Vault of Heaven itself". The Escape Plan: The story behind this one is a bit awkward. Apparently, two users by the name of Tom Francis and Jibberish came up with the weapon concept, and even made a little website that contained the weapon concept as well as a bunch of other weapon concepts. (The website is actually still up! Go to the TF2Wiki and go to the 'Trivia' section for the Equalizer if you're curious.) Naturally, they protested they had created the weapon first when Valve uploaded their own version. Between this "discovery" and the mentioned balancing issues, Valve ended up splitting the weapon so that the original concept was more properly recognized. So yeah...that happened. Half-Zatoichi: Despite being based off a katakana, which are two-handed swords, Soldier doesn't give a damn and only uses one. Disciplinary Action: I know this is kinda irrelevant, but my brother was "gifted" a Disciplinary Action with the name "whip me papi OwO", and I think that's absolutely hilarious. Market Gardner: The name is based off the infamous "Operation Market Garden", which was failed attempt to take several key bridges under German control during World War II, and was up to that time the largest invasion via paratrooper. Whew, that was a load to type.
I know I am late, I read everything and it's all great, but I only have one comment: The Direct Hit, to be at least, represents a modified Javelin Launcher.
@@TheTiredNaiad No, not really. Javilin was first designed in 1989, and didn't serve until 1996...both of these are well outside the TF timeline. The shape doesn't really work either, as the Javilin is both too long and too fat.
I don't know much about time in the tf story but the direct hit looks similar to the PILA, I only know of it's name and functionality from modern warfare
no, he didn't kill "nazis" he killed nazis, he literally just had no affiliation with the army whatsoever, he flew to poland just to kill nazis during the war and made his own medals.
3:47 No no no no no NOOOO!!! The Mantreads are based off of Tankers Boots. They're a style of boots that have wrap-around belts instead of laces, and as the name suggests, they're made for soldiers who opperate tanks.
I'm shocked that this is the only comment mentioning that, but maybe other people did what I did and checked if anyone asked before posting a comment. I like the idea of an *extreme* Escape Plan. "We'll get away by shooting rockets at our feet and flying"-- oh wait, the Soldier actually does do that. Huh. I guess the Excape Plan is a better name.
I posted this in the community tab but I'll post it here as well: I just wanna say thanks for all the feedback I'm getting for the items origins video series, as I said I'm not a gun person and I appreciate all the suggestions for what weapons might be based off. I'm going to start collecting them all and make a "corrections and additions" video at the end.

The rocket launcher in 1:41 looked so real, this should've been how it was made, and it made me think of bane from batman arkham origins, that he could've weild it.
Shouldn't damage be the same as with non-sawed shotguns? It's just wider spread increases chances of hitting the target in cost of less pellets connecting with the target on longer distances or less accurate close-range shots.
No buddy, he had suffered a stroke in February of 2020 and was in a state of recovery. Strokes are very very dangerous and very serious. Because a part of your brain just dies from lack of blood. The stroke severely weakened his entire bodily system, and when combined with his advanced age, he was increasingly susceptible to any bacterial/viral infections
4:37 I have been believing that concheror is pronounced like "conqueror." Conch itself is pronounced "conk" so that's why it makes sense for me to pronounced concheror as conqueror

Ay, I very rarely comment on videos, but I just wanted to let ye know that yer one of the most interesting content creators out there, man - them videos where ye covered odd, but nostalgic TF2 maps got me hooked already, so keep up the funky work
I feel bad for this guy. Most of these guns are just like spoofed guns and loose representations. And he’s trying to get exactly what it is. I LOVE the dedication! Good work, keep it up!!
Fun Fact: My aunt and uncle have once found a spade similar to the market gardener, when they were renovating their newly bought summerhouse, but it is more rusted and the "blade" can't fold anymore.
0:32 I'm fairly certain that's not an rpg, but a bazooka, since the bazooka was an american invention and I *THINK* that the rpg was invented by the soviets, also the weapon itself resembles the appearance of a bazooka
Pretty sure soldier's stock boots (and gunboats) are Jungle Boots. Issued to troops in Vietnam after the military realized how bad the all-leather boots they had before were usless. From the sole to how they trapped heat, and did nothing to protect soldiers from spike traps. The mantreads are WWII jump boots with a few extra straps.
the diffrence in the sound made by the bugle depending on team is actually commands; red teams sound is what is typically used for giving the order of charge while blue's is regroup
The Mantreads are "Tanker Boots" typically worn by vehicle crew's (such as, well, tanks) who have to operate in tight conditions where shoelaces could easily get snagged, hence the buckles and straps.
The mantreads actually has to do with American history. The cav scouts during winter in ww2 laces on boots would freeze and break. Tankers would give them their laces and use belts to hold their boots together. Also, the direct hit reminds me of the carl gustaf recoilless rifle because of the flared back and scope.
Fantastic video as always! However, I do have a some annoying gun gripes I would like to bring to surface. The stock shotgun, while bolstering a heavy resemblance to the Ithaca M37, would have to be heavily modified from original model of the M37. An original M37 would both load and eject from the bottom of the receiver, while the in-game shotgun ejects from the left side of the receiver (as stated in the video). Alternatively, I would suggest that the stock shotgun is instead modeled after a Winchester Model 12. The Pain Train does not have a stake spiked through it, but rather a railroad spike (hence the name "pain train") Regardless, your video is highly informative and very well put together! I enjoy your content and can't wait for the next episode!
6:42 fun fact. the market gardener is named after a WW2 operation, called operation marked garden, where allies forces attempt to paradrop around Dutch cities to capture key bridges.
The pain train appears to be fashioned from wedging a railroad spike through a piece of wood used to hold up rails, often called a "sleeper". That's how the pain train gets its name.
Could also mention that the spade on the BASE jumper is a reference to how both Solider uses shovels and how American soldiers use the ace of spades as a good luck charm
B.A.S.E. Jumper: The "Parachute" Patch is a badge that was normally sewn on the Garrison cap of Airborne troops, mainly the Airborne Artillery (hence the red background). The Ace of Spades might be a reference to the helmet sign of the 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division during WWII (mainly known from "Band of Brothers").
Could you imagine if soldier’s rocket launchers had a back blast mechanic? When the exhaust gases black out the back of the exhaust port of the weapon and deal damage to enemies directly behind him? I could see the spy mains lose their collective minds after back blast damage unintentionally thwarts their covert back stab attempts
The Soldiers helmet is the M1 pot type used by GI's in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam until it was phased out in the 1980's by the PASGT. Personally I owned made back in the 60's which I've since donated to my town's Leigon Hall and also came with a liner which got lost in transit.
I would just like to mention that the ejection port for the Ithica 37 is the same as its loading port. This is done for easy use between right and left-handed shooters.
I knew the battalions backup and buff banner had those different calls, but I never realized they were team based, that actually can make it a lot easier to differentiate an attack versus a push I also didn't know the pain train was meant for the pyro, im both glad and sad its not, because _my god the shit I would be able to pull on the enemy team with it_
Great video. I know this isn't correlated but your tf2 map videos can be interesting when you're discussing the geometry and how the maps playout. You should go over some old competitive maps played through leagues. Maybe look at the general differences between how different maps were played then and now, and what changed?
Its an interesting idea and I have thought about looking at how much maps have changed over time, but the tough part of that is tracking down the original bsp files for Valve made maps as they tend not to get archived as much
For the direct hit, it's based on the PILA, or the Streila P both of which are scopes rocket launchers. Though it does seem valve took some creative liberties with the item.

I find it funny how the Black Box is the only rocket launcher that can hold 4 rockets in real life, and yet it only holds 3.

This is a neat idea! Real-life sources for weapons is a cool interest of mine.
Can you do medic weapon origins. If you are doing this, the medi gun is based of the proton gun from Ghostbusters
Pretty sure soldier's stock boots (and gunboats) are Jungle Boots. Issued to troops in Vietnam after the military realized how bad the all-leather boots they had before were usless. From the sole to how they trapped heat, and did nothing to protect soldiers from spike traps. The mantreads are WWII jump boots with a few extra straps.
I have this shotgun 3:08
the diffrence in the sound made by the bugle depending on team is actually commands; red teams sound is what is typically used for giving the order of charge while blue's is regroup
The rocket launcher from quake is based of the german panzerfaust in the front
1:21 *pp launcher*
The Mantreads are "Tanker Boots" typically worn by vehicle crew's (such as, well, tanks) who have to operate in tight conditions where shoelaces could easily get snagged, hence the buckles and straps.
2:42 birth of the Ithica 37 with a sawn off barrel.
5:48 "EXCAPE PLAN" Uhhh don't you mean THE ESCAPE PLAN?
I have been studying Team Fortress 2 weapon real life counter parts for a while and I admire your content!
The mantreads actually has to do with American history. The cav scouts during winter in ww2 laces on boots would freeze and break. Tankers would give them their laces and use belts to hold their boots together. Also, the direct hit reminds me of the carl gustaf recoilless rifle because of the flared back and scope.
Fantastic video as always!
However, I do have a some annoying gun gripes I would like to bring to surface.
The stock shotgun, while bolstering a heavy resemblance to the Ithaca M37, would have to be heavily modified from original model of the M37. An original M37 would both load and eject from the bottom of the receiver, while the in-game shotgun ejects from the left side of the receiver (as stated in the video).
Alternatively, I would suggest that the stock shotgun is instead modeled after a Winchester Model 12.
The Pain Train does not have a stake spiked through it, but rather a railroad spike (hence the name "pain train")
Regardless, your video is highly informative and very well put together! I enjoy your content and can't wait for the next episode!
Thanks for the feedback! I did know it was a railway spike but I left that part out.
How do you even find all these information
tf2 wiki, various googling, and some stuff I already knew
6:42 fun fact.
the market gardener is named after a WW2 operation, called operation marked garden, where allies forces attempt to paradrop around Dutch cities to capture key bridges.
F for the voice actor
The pain train appears to be fashioned from wedging a railroad spike through a piece of wood used to hold up rails, often called a "sleeper". That's how the pain train gets its name.
6:13 i think that half stands for demomans one eyerather than soldiers vision
i think it stands for both
It's both. That's why it's only on demo and soldier
Could also mention that the spade on the BASE jumper is a reference to how both Solider uses shovels and how American soldiers use the ace of spades as a good luck charm
6:43
I’m surprised he didn’t mention the name reference
I think you need to have much more subscribers because you are amazing !
Awesome video. I hope you can continue this series!
B.A.S.E. Jumper: The "Parachute" Patch is a badge that was normally sewn on the Garrison cap of Airborne troops, mainly the Airborne Artillery (hence the red background).
The Ace of Spades might be a reference to the helmet sign of the 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division during WWII (mainly known from "Band of Brothers").
Could you imagine if soldier’s rocket launchers had a back blast mechanic? When the exhaust gases black out the back of the exhaust port of the weapon and deal damage to enemies directly behind him? I could see the spy mains lose their collective minds after back blast damage unintentionally thwarts their covert back stab attempts
The Soldiers helmet is the M1 pot type used by GI's in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam until it was phased out in the 1980's by the PASGT. Personally I owned made back in the 60's which I've since donated to my town's Leigon Hall and also came with a liner which got lost in transit.
Half-zatoichi: Demoman
I would just like to mention that the ejection port for the Ithica 37 is the same as its loading port. This is done for easy use between right and left-handed shooters.
Great video. I immediately subscribed because I can see you put a lot of research and care into your videos.
2:07 Made of trash but held and fixed with Flex Tape
I knew the battalions backup and buff banner had those different calls, but I never realized they were team based, that actually can make it a lot easier to differentiate an attack versus a push
I also didn't know the pain train was meant for the pyro, im both glad and sad its not, because _my god the shit I would be able to pull on the enemy team with it_
The Ithaca 37 doesn't actually have a side ejection port, it ejects spent shells from the bottom. Top-tier Valve gun design as always.
The Ithaca 37 actually doesn't have an ejection port, it ejects out the bottom
Rest In Peace Rick May.
They missed the oportunity to add a team red/blu logo for the buff banner/batalion's backup/concheror.
4:38 fun fact the conches in some time ago were used to warn the pepole that they had fresh fish for sale
1:07 yeah you forgot to mention it was also used in doom but it was more dark
Great video. I know this isn't correlated but your tf2 map videos can be interesting when you're discussing the geometry and how the maps playout. You should go over some old competitive maps played through leagues. Maybe look at the general differences between how different maps were played then and now, and what changed?
Its an interesting idea and I have thought about looking at how much maps have changed over time, but the tough part of that is tracking down the original bsp files for Valve made maps as they tend not to get archived as much
For the direct hit, it's based on the PILA, or the Streila P both of which are scopes rocket launchers. Though it does seem valve took some creative liberties with the item.
Damn, This is a very high quality video, subbed.
I just now noticed that the Beggar’s Bazooka’s firing handle looks like it’s made out of a flashlight.
Subbed. This series is great. Keep it up
