One of the most realistic things in Zombies is the idea that when the Soviets got the ability to make their own Wonder Weapon, they immediately made it an AK platform gun.
If we go by the games the Thundergun and Gersh Wormhole grenades were the first soviet WW, but since CW is a literal reboot i guess it can also count as "first"
Extremely realistic
@@Brian-tn4cd Wasn't the Thundergun a Group 935 invention?
@@TheEquestrianGalladenope, the TGun is soviet, as if you have maximum fov or look closely enough you can see "cccp" on the side of it, and it is not a group 935 weapon since it was made by the Ascension group under dr gersh's direction
@@psychoticpsyducck-kuneehoo isn't the first place the Tgun found in Germany? And group 935 is a multi country thing, is it not? It also could be stolen weapon design. Idk just throwing possible things out there
This series is single handily putting gamespot over IGN
Facts
Gamespot was already a huge game info/reviewer back in the early 2000's. They're just making a comeback.
Ign puts themselves down, gamespot is leagues ahead
Going above ign is bare minimum for gaming journalism let’s be real
Ign has been dead for ages lol
Assessing the F.E.A.R. weapons would hurt Jonathan's soul less than these
Agreed? FEAR and Killzone for me
@@afd19850resistance too
And even then, there's just enough similarities/realism to be like "Yeah, I can see how that'd work/see the inspiration/source"
Metal Gear Solid 3 for m3.
@@afd19850 Oh yes, let him bask in the glory of the Bullpup Z-M LR-300 aka the M82. Specifically the Killzone 2 version.
Never thought my mind that i would see Jonathan Ferguson the keeper of firearms and artillery at the royal armouries museum react to wonder weapons from COD Zombies

Imagine explaining the entirety of the Zombies lore to poor Johnathan, would make the Vanguard episode look like a trip to Disney Land.
Hey Jonathan! The "DG" in the Wunderwaffe DG-2 stands for "Die Glocke" (The Bell), which as far as I know was some purported top secret German wonder weapon that was being developed during World War 2. It's heavily implied to exist in the COD Zombies universe as the teleporters on various maps, hence why the Wunderwaffe is called the DG-2, as the second successful project in the program. In the map that came out before the Wunderwaffe's first appearance you could find a piece of paper on the ground that reads "Die Glocke"
Huhh, my guess would have been Donner Gewähr, ie. "Thunder Weapon", but I don't know anything about COD Zombies lore.
Also, in Der Riese, there's a structure outside the map that resembles an irl structure known as "The Henge", the supposed testing site of Die Glocke. For those familiar with the zombies map, its the structure you shoot at to play "Hide and Seek"
Also, the 2 in GD means the second model. We learn in Tag Der Toten that that maps wunderwaffe is the 1st of its kind. 1 of the reasons it's weaker, both in game and lore.
I was just waiting for bro to pull out each gun
"Now we actually have a (insert wonder weapon) here in the armory"
*pulls out an Apoticon Servant*
If anyone wanted to know some lore as to how the Ray Gun came around to Zombies: *"I previously had a conversation with an art director and was spitballing ideas about bringing different elements into the World at War narrative, one of the ideas I had was about those retro futurism toys in cereal boxes back in the day"*-Treyarch Senior Lead Artist Maxwell Porter
Cool!
Maxwell porter? As in porters x2 ray gun?
@@mincoin yeah, Porter invented zombies I believe, being the first designer of the Ray Gun
Jonathan is a metalhead, he'd like the song 115
He'd probably like the vast majority of Kevin Sherwood's work for Zombies to be honest.
Interesting, thanks! All of the soundtracks passed me by.
@@jonathanferguson1211 no worries mate, thank you so for responding. You'll like the music
@@jonathanferguson1211hi, Jonathan, if possible, can you please maybe react to the guns from the Far cry and Medal of honor series?
4:16 If such a band were to ever exist, they better pay Jonathan royalties from their earnings
Cannonball Carousel does have a nice ring to it
I have to agree with Jonathan here, Cannonball Carousel WOULD be a epic band name
7:48 - RAI-K84 is literally the energy modified of AKM
Kind of. As I say - there's not much AK left.
@@jonathanferguson1211 Soviets would've 100% made an AK platform gun like that if such tech existed.
The Wave Gun is basically a microwave weapon which cooks zombies from the inside out. As for the DG in Wunderwaffe, it apparently, stands for "Die Glocke".
It is difficult to judge weapons that don't exist in real life, since there is nothing to compare them to. Especially if you are an expert in projectile weapons and you have to judge energy based weaponry, which are still just experimental in real life.
Indeed. I fall back on gaming experience and appreciation for the design aspects as best I can.
@@jonathanferguson1211 And you do it very well, despite not really having much to compare them to. Maybe one day we will have handheld energy weapons as we see them here, but that day is far away.
@@jonathanferguson1211hi, Mr. Ferguson, if I may humbly request, can you PLEASE react to the guns from Far cry 3 to far cry 5?
Jonathon Ferguson, Keeper of Jackets and T-Shirts, whose office holds a collection of hundreds of Emotional Support Weapons from throughout History!
Oh Great Jonathan Ferguson... please take a look at the weapons of the Valkyria Chronicles games.
The Ray Gun is a DU Gamma Blaster essentially, that's what the "Battery" Packs are that your dumping in the Gamma Blaster, Depleted Uranium.
The precursor to future cursed cod guns
I also like to see Jonathan react to the guns of Binary Domain, which is a cyberpunk game taking place in 2080 in Japan, and the weapons that the main character squad, the Rust crew, are equipped with are basically futurized version of modern guns. And the robots that you fight also have their own standard issue guns, there's also the underground Resistance, who built their own guns. The game was developed by the same people behind the Yakuza games.
I would also like to see Jonathan take a look at the guns of Vanquish, a 3rd Person Shooter from Platinum Games, the weapons ranged from futuristic assault rifles, shotguns, LMGs and pistols to energy weapons that actually use the main character's suit energy to fire, too bad Vanquish didn't sell well enough to warrant a sequel, which is a huge shame since the ending is quite abrupt.
Ooo
Jonathan should look at the guns of SAO Fatal Bullet and COD Advanced Warfare.
Still hoping for a Valkyria Chronicles video one of these days. I have my fingers crossed.
I can't believe I never thought of this. Very obvious choice, would be vary cool!
They should definitely do a part 2. There's so many more weapons they can show lol.
Like the Ragnoroks, the staffs, sliquifier, that gun on Zetsibo that I can't pronounce.
And I REALLY want to see Jonathan's reaction to the Pack-A-Punch Machine
I've never even played a COD game but I love Jonathan Ferguson!
"Are we the baddies" is without a doubt one of the greatest comedy skits of all time!
Seriously never expected him to be holding the Baby Gun- I mean the 31-79 JGb215
"I don't think cthulu esque monsters appreciate having a hand up back at them but uh idk maybe they do." ☠️
Now this is a video I've always wanted to see!
Loved the armored core episode. Would love another where it's focused on how the different companies are inspired by different things and how that reflects design choice both in the mechs as well as the weapons. Could even do the older ones cause ac for answer also has tons of interesting designs with a bunch of different inspirations.
5:17 Hearing this made me realize: it's a shame we never got Johnathan reacting to the Black Mesa Hivehand's initial equip animation during the Half-Life episode.
This has been the video I have been waiting for!
I love how Jonathan is actually charismatic enough to have a lot more to say to this type of designs than just "yeahs, it is definitely a gun from this game"
Yessss! Thank you so much Dave and Johnathan!
As far as I know the OG Ray Gun was powered by two chunks of COD Zombies universe element 115 (I believe once called Divinium, but now Aetherium), the element that made zombies.
I'm guessing that it functions kind of like radioactive material, and at the end of the 'magazine' you're left with these barely 'radioactive' material pieces, but that have to be shot through (kind of like in a reactor) to release all the energy as a harming ray.
I’ve been looking forward to this.
Please Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, please deconstruct & analyze the weapons of *METAL GEAR SOLID 3* before the remake comes out.
So many weapons in MGS3 to react and comment on like;-
- The Patriot's infinite ammo and drum magazine resembling an (∞) symbol as well as the tumbling bullets.
- The EZ tranq gun based off a Liberator pistol.
- Snake's customized officer M1911A1 and him whittling the pistol grip to use a knife for CQC.
- Ocelot's dual Single Action Army and his revolver juggling skills.
- The End's custom paratrooper Mosin Nagant with tranquilizer rounds.
- The Davey Crockett recoil-less nuclear launcher.
- Eva's chinese Type 17 mauser clone with her "bandit shooting" technique.
- Volgin using his electricity to ignite and fire off 7.62mm bullets from his hands.
- The Boss's quick ability to disarm and disassemble Snake's pistols.
These are a few examples and there are so many more other interesting trivias and weapons in MGS3 so please Dave and Jonathan, please consider making a video for MGS3.
Massively agree that game is mad in how far ahead it was in gun details
MGS3 has so many fun little gun details, like Ocelot jamming his makarov from doing a tactical reload wrong because he's more used to revolvers
They will do 3 when the remake comes out
Love this series. This guy is becoming a gaming celebrity by just inspecting and reviewing weapons. The history in some of them are interesting too
The one episode I’ve been waiting for the most.
5:44 I like how he's still traumatized from that april fools video
My favorite "alien thing you wield as a gun" weapon is the one in _Half-Life: Opposing Force_ that I can't remember the name of, because every now and then the player character pets it on the head, and it seems happy. (And also because the reloading animation is funny.)
I love how right as I hit my CoD zombies kick again; Jonathan Ferguson is here for me. Lets gooo!
YES! FINALLY! I CAN SEE THE EPISODE I'VE ALWAYS WANTED!
Now this... this is what i've been waiting for!
Thank You Jonathan and everyone involved in this series so much for my (and others i think) enjoyment
love this series
I’ve been waiting for this
wow, i actually caught this one new...
his reaction to the ray k was great
Incredible. Glad to see one for zombies
The episode I didn't know I needed
Missed out on an opportunity for the Sliquifier DAVE 😨
Watching this episode outside the Royal Armouries Museum as it's closed for a graduation day.😅
Thank you for all the amazing videos! We would love to see Jonathan break down the firearms of the Call Of Juarez games. We are currently playing Call Of Juarez: Gunslinger and its a great game :)
would love some more VR gun evaluations, dear Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the royal armouries museum
I am locking in on one day Jon covering the guns of Nikke in the wildest vid we’ve seen
the blundergat makes me want a double barrelled shotgun, but with tubes that can feed it on either sides for a 'quad barrel' look. Such a thing exists btw, they used to be there for single barrelled break shotguns.
I thought the day would never come!
i do love the fact you just chuck a d-cell battery into the ray gun and it works
"A FOUNTAIN OF PAIN!"
Yes, this is, in fact, how Johnathan is feeling seeing these 'guns'.
Here is a fun fact about the 31-79 JGb215, more commonly known as the Shrink Ray. It was originally supposed to have several different elemental version with different coloured dragon artifact looking thing.
I remember one of the Deathloop guns did the same thing as wave guns - 2 pistols stuck into each other to create an SMG.
Jonathan can have his own channel analysing all guns in all games...
Looking forward to your episode on E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy
The microphone quality has increased substantially! Awesome!
Nothing has changed in the setup...
@@jonathanferguson1211 Has it not? It sounds way clearer to me. Ah well 😅
Can we please have Jonathan's reaction to Valkyria Chronicles. Especially 1 and 4.
The fact he gets how the Rai K works instantly is great
The laughing from the Everquest Skeletons is giving me PTSD
The wave gun is called that because it's supposed to be shooting some kind of microwave energy at the zombies. it cooks them from inside and then they explode and you get the _ding_ similar to old microwaves or toaster ovens.
Damm, this vidoes sends me back to the times when Rageing Amish did his CoD zombies weapon guides.
The Monkey Bomb kind of reminds me of the controversy over stuff like the Soviet "Butterfly Bomb" or the general issue with cluster munitions that might just look like a toy
Johnathan when he sees the the victus guns:bruh
I'm half expecting Jonathan to pull out the replica raygun for the bit
YO I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THIS.
Hold on, I'm off to learn bass so I can start Cannonball Carousel. Great name.
The Thundergun is supposedly a Russian wonder weapon, made by the Ascension Group in the zombies lore
This is a great video, i like the idea of the Expert. But have you thought about having one of your loyal fans as a co-reviewer for a video?
This series should be a regular staple on John’s own channel, I hate looking through the videos to try and find him react to stuff
Four barrels, Zombies? Four? That's insane!
Please get Jonathon to check out the guns of Blue Archive! There's an awesome variety of many weapons from all across the world and they are surprisingly well modelled and animated despite the game's appearance. There's also some really funny exaggerated ones for a good laugh like Michiru's pump action shot with cello taped on master key
the zap guns that turn into the wave gun was one of my favorites guns in zombies. you basically get dual weild ray guns that transform into a microwave-emitting thundergun!
Missed opportunity to get the Dad's Army "they don't like it up 'em sir" with the ick tentacles eye gun
_THANK YOU, MANCHESTER! We are CANNONBALL CAROUSEL! GOODNIGHT!_
We need a part 2 now. And I hope we see the scavenger
I want to see Johnathan in a “Purple plasma pew pew” t-shirt!
Please can jonathan take a look at the guns from the division 1&2 particularly the exotics
Would love to see what Jonathan thinks of the pixelated guns of They Are Coming.
I think it’d be fun to see Johnathan cover black ops 4 or infinite warfare since most of those guns are fake but take inspiration from different guns
So speaking of weird guns that you stick your arm up the back of, you guys should look at the old Star Wars Republic Commando game from 2004. The weapon variety is sadly not as varied as some games, but it still has a couple of fun ones.
I like the music used here
While we are on the subject of zombies.. how about some 7 Days To Die? Its got a nice mix of real guns and pipe weapons.
the DG in the Wunderwaffe-DG is probably DonnerGewehr, literally "thunder rifle"
Greetings from Hungary!
I've never played this game, but, regarding the Thundergun, I suspect the idea came from the German Wind Cannon(Windkanone) prototype.
Still hoping we get a good look at the guns of Killzone some day! That series has absolutely incredible design all over including its guns!
I would like to see Jonathan reacting to the guns of Warframe. The guns could be split into their factions, like Corpus, Grineer, Tenno and Infested and maybe even Incarnon weapons
I *really* want to see the guns of HBS Battletech and the Mechwarrior series on this channel, now you've done Armoured Core I'm LOVE to see more big stompy robots!
Aaa nice to see the zombies community are all such nerds that they know every detail about the weapons :)
Man may die, nations may rise and fall but the raygun lives on
As a cod zombies fanatic, this is a dream come true 😂
The DG in the Wunderwaffe stands for Die Glocke. Also the one in Black Ops 4 is The Wunderwaffe DG-Scharfschütze
You guys have to do a Q&A with Jonathan Ferguson one of these days, or at least mention how the heck you guys got him to help be in these videos.
0:48 I wonder how many people like me see a quad-barreled shotgun and instantly think of the Phantasm movie series? From the second movie when it was made to the fifth movie the weapon is featured.
Also, Phantasm gave birth to, the Sentinels, floating spheres that served as inspiration for Turok's Cerebral Bore and Blood 2's Orb among others.
I would love to see Jonathan take a look at the guns of the Ratchet and Clank series at some point!
You should do a video on the guns in The Finals. It doesnt have a lot so should be a easy episode!
