- Apex Legends is packed full of cool and futuristic guns and weapons so today we bought in Gun Expert Paul and Spec Op Israel to react! Going through various firearms, sights and ad-ons Paul shares his wisdom and expertise on everything, figuring out how realistic each is and similar real-life weapons they could be compared to. From the P2020 to the Longbow, the guys go through a plethora of weapons so if you’re a big Apex fan this is definitely the video for you!
During Apex Legends gameplay, players form a squad of three characters, known as "Legends", that are equipped with special abilities. Hero shooters use similarly constructed characters. Characters in the squad are unique in their designs, personalities, and abilities, which provide different playstyles.

"Write down a very angry tweet then the world would be given to you"
This is the best line I've ever heard this year
His wisdom is vast
Hehe.
سلام
He’s right you know
First time I got tased I accidentally scared a cop because I had a mistake tick which was slapping my leg for some reason and I got pulled over I slapped my leg and he thought I was about to pull a gun out and I got my ass tazed 🤣🤣🤣 it hurt 😐
Man hasn't touched Apex, but knows the 2x Bruiser is God tier. My man
Best sight
Nah 2x 4x is best
@@civiltrack3583 depends on the gun for me.
Edit: yup, the r301 and the flatline with the 2-4x are lasers, because the dots are big enough, making it way easier to aim, but on pistoles and snipers, they aren’t the greatest at all for me.
@@TeenWithACarrotIDK man r301+2x BEANIN
@@MinorityHunter516 I wonder if the 2x will beam with the new C.A.R. SMG
I’m beyond disappointed that they didn’t do the Alternator. They could’ve talked alll day long about those barrels
I would love to see them react to the Mastiff, Devotion and Lstar
ikr
And for fun, an Arc star and thermite.
wonder what would be said about the kraber and pk
Dammit I'm mid video and u spoiled it. Im now disappointed as well 😔
I can only say one thing he has a cool tactical stealth mohawk.
Active camo mohawk
SCHWACKED
barbers call it the "John Cena"
I approve of these comments 🤣
Noice.
In the lore, the Longbow is basically just a R-101 (R-301's predecessor) rechamberd and given a longer barrel to become a marksman's rifle, so they use a lot of the same parts, same thing with the R-99, all made by the same company.
Titanfall 2 Please? I'd like to see thier reaction to the Smart Pistol.
Yeah the r series of rifles including the Longbow are based on the same modular receiver. Which is why the magwell looks the same and the trigger guards all look the same
IIRC, the R301 and its predecessor (R2 and R1) they shot tungsten full metal jacket. I think the it shoots 8.19 caliber.
I didn't know the R-97, R-97CN(Titanfall 2) and R-99 were also made by Lastimosa Armory. The more you know...
Same with the Hemlock and the Spitfire
REPSAWN ENTERTAINMENT
I wish they had gotten footage without weapons skins. The flatline especially since the design with the default skin shows clear kalashnikov influence that isn’t as visible with the skin
Yeah, the skins ruin the little realism left
Great comment, I’ll look further into that, thank you!
Yea the mag in the flat line give it away.
@@1_visje34 realism in Apex?
Paul Meixner loved the video mate
One thing that I love regarding Apex is that in lore, it’s way too expensive to ship gunpowder this far from earth, so instead they use electrical charges to fire their weapons.
So they’re essentially railguns
@@ryrandom8785 from what i know, they use this electrical charges as propellent, in the same way gp is used. How? Idk
At this point in the timeline (Post-Demeter) it's impossible to ship anything to the frontier.
Couldn't they just manufacture gunpowder locally from the resources on the frontier planets? why would they even need to ship it from earth lol
@@ryrandom8785 More or less, yeah.
I got two things:
1.Great video
2.Editor, that barrel shroud clip is golden
Also shows how incompetent politicians are since they lobby against things that they have no idea about.
too bad the arrow points to the muzzle device (looks like some kind of flash can), and not the barrel shroud (what the front sight is mounted to).
@@danialyousaf6456 what? you trya bring politics into a video about guns from Apex and a shroud clip??
@@soup7694 nah just stating the obvious. Seeing as how I didn't mention anyone in particular my previous comment was more of an edgy one.
@@danialyousaf6456... but how does it relate to the video/joke?
21:12 "I've never used 3-round burst, I think it's dumb, just use full auto or semi"
Based.
Hemlok do be popping off tho.
I wonder how he'd feel about the prowler then lol
@@Blackdog06019 he probably wouldn't like it simply because it's an SMG without full auto.
@@faffywhosmilesatdeath5953 but it does have full auto
Edit: forgot that it changed after it got removed from car package
@@nonymous5938 no it doesn't lol they took it off when it came out of care package
It would be pretty cool to have all the military guys listen to "DC EVAC" radio chatter in MW2 and have them pick apart the chatter that's happening on the assault on DC
this please
Oh God.
Please
Oh 100% I listened to the chatter a few times and when you can hear when it all starts to fall apart it amazing
Bro you awakened a need inside me that I didnt even know I had
When you guys finished the intro and zoomed in on Izzy's face, I could've sworn his eye twitched
His way of explaining stuff is actually entertaining and very interesting, keep on keeping on!
He was lectured about how fun Apex is for the entire show.
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!
Keep on keeping on
Keep on Keeping on to you too!
I would love to see more episodes of this, where they cover the rest of the weapons.
Especially covering the shotguns, the shotguns have very unrealistic pellet spreads.
And ofc the kraber
@@pekespoelstra3078 Yes.
I wpuld love to see them cover the titanfall weapons too. Includ8ng dofferences and similarities between the r101 and longbow, the 201 and 301, smart pistol, etc.
W
Apex weapon designs are probably the most functionally realistic in-game weapon models and they are beautifully animated too. I love when designers put thought into the weapons and make them look convincing.
*titanfall designs
@@magischestoast9997 Apex models are just refined titanfall weapon designs but they are not exactly the same.
The biggest thing they missed is that the flatline chraging would smack you in the face
big kudos to hyper for animating
@@celestialcolosseum Watching this video, i have to say, Sandstorm or Tarkov seems much more realistic and detailed in my eyes.
I can't wait for Paul to see the Kraber😂😂straight up a 20mm anti-material rifle
the kraber was made to punch through the thick armor of titans
@@dream8870 yet in titanfall 2 it does a cheese slice of damage, at least in tf1 it did something lmao
@@kookie2767 fr, in TF2 I can spit marshmallows and do more damage😂 in TF1 it was like the the "cut" feature, select and remove
I hate myself for saying this but the kraber is .50
@@ncrtrooper5442 kraber is a 50cal but design is inspired by a 20mm
I really wanted to see their reaction to the Alternator: *a double-barreled blow-forward bullpup SMG.* It also looks like it could be working on the Gast Gun principle but it has a low rate of fire. A VERY strange gun when you really think about it.
The recoil impulse of the Alternator would be insane with the blow-forward design it uses, every bit of force from both barrels being slammed repetedly into the rear trunnion to force the barrels forward, and chambered in 10mm? Noooo thank you!
The thing about the R-series in Apex/Titanfall is that it's a modular weapon system. The r301 is the base pattern assault rifle. The r-99 is the SMG based on the same configuration with some components swapped out. And the Longbow is the sniper rifle version. So good pointing out the similarities between the three, the reason is because they're the same modular weapon system
Same as the M16, M4, M231 and SDR-M. All the same rifle, but modified for whatever role they need it for.
so when snipers didn’t take sniper ammo, why didn’t the longbow take light ammo? Do the weapon manufacturers do heavy weapons as well?
@@adiris8827 longbow took heavy ammo not light. But this is in Apex. In the Titanfall lore the Longbow took a specialized variant of the standard round used by the r-201
The R-301, R-99 and Longbow all belong to the same family of guns designed by the in-universe Lastimosa Armories so it makes sense that there's a similarity there.
Shame that the Alternator didn't get covered, I would have loved to see Paul and Israel's reaction to that double-barreled bullpup SMG.
Really was looking for the Alternator too.
really wished Sentinel was there lmao, a bulpup, bolt action sniper
@@revanf3719 Bolt action Bullpup snipers aren't anything unusual though, they are well known and widely used all over the world.
I really hoped for Kraber tho.
@@TheFishE77Official but are there any bullpup bolt actions?
Love that even non-Apex players know the 2x sight is the best sight in the game lmao
Gun expert reacts to guns from wolfenstein, or Homefront: the revolution, or both.
DABABY
@@dream8870 😳
Wolfenstein yes, homefront no
Was homefront the game chaos studios made after frontlines ?
My fav UA-cam video right now no lie ua-cam.com/video/cvs9q-RAg64/v-deo.html -
23:36 (Titanfall Lore nerd here) The Longbow is actually the DMR variant of the R series of rifles (R-101, R-201, R-301). Same with the R-99 SMG.
Ah yes. The R-99 is a DMR
This is a joke, based on poor wording
On the R-301 he said "We looked into another video". Is that a hint that they've already shot another total recoil video with him?
14:54
According to the lore, the R-301 fires a 8.19mm cartridge with a tungsten penetrator. The Spitfire and Hemlock are based off the same weapon platform
Spitfire and hemlock are their own linked pattern with no relation to the R-101
@@GamStr-xq3vc I meant that the Helmock and Spitfire are the same as each other

Always fun to see someone who understands the physical workings of firearms dissect various futuristic guns that have their roots in modern firearms.
Israel, I love knowing that you love Apex as well. It's an amazing game, and I quite like it myself.
These videos are ridiculously addictive. I generally think having firearms experts go over these games will lead to better games. I love crazy over the top sci-fi weapons in games, but the more believable a game’s weapons can be, the better.
Sci-fi is one of my favorite generas, but I like believable guns more.
A minute and a half in, I'm happy. A real gun expert on this show. I'm a firearms enthusiast (not expert level but close-ish) and work at a gun shop and I love the editing and trivia! Have him on again!
Funny enough Paul is somewhat right about the G7 being based on an M1 since there's a really rare reload animation where you'd load it like an M1 Garand
The way the weapons were showcased was really good taking time inspecting, shooting and adsing with iron sights really give the experts time to grasp and give comments nice work
Ok, finally one of these gun expert vids where the other guy actually knows what he's talking about. At least in how far I've watched. But considering what he's said so far, yeah this one is good to go.
Yeah, getting through the rest of it, I like the mohawk guy. Real experience running stuff, and he isn't the kind that says there is just ONE way to handle and shoot guns.
I will say though, it is obvious why AR's that use Glock mags have a steep angle on them. It's using a pistol magazine.
Glocks and other pistols have a certain grip angle, while the Glock's is definitely steeper. The mags themselves are slanted but the rounds at the top feed parallel to the bottom of the mag. So when using those mags in an AR, to feed straight they have to be angled just like in the pistol.
Other SMG mags were designed to be dedicated to that weapon system so they didn't make it slanted for ergonomic reasons. (Also larger capacity 9mm mags tend to need a curve to work reliably, but I reckon the slant on the Glock mags takes care of that)
Good call on heavy pistol. In Alaska the minimum bear stopper is 44mag. 454casul works too.
You can tell he's a man of culture for liking the 2X reticle, the best in the game
Nice, you got Bangalore’s white dad to interview apex weapons 😀🔫
This guy actually seems to know his guns unlike the last guy. Am actually impressed.
I cried when I realized you weren't doing all the weapons. I REALLY really wanted his thoughts on 30 30 repeater and shatter caps like is that realistic idek
I loved learning about these guns. I definitely want to see Paul explain more of the guns of Apex.
I like that you did this b4 GameSpot, I've been complaining over there for them to do this game. Hope you guys do a part 2, there are more guns in this game to show, the shotguns, the kraber, the sentinel, the alternator, the tripletake, the prowler, the devotion and rampage
Aaaah, wanted to hear his thoughts on the mastiff and sentinel! They're two guns I really like the design of that were not mentioned here!
Great video guys!
I like this guy, he sees the benefits of some features that are seemingly in the game for the flair like in the revolver
TitanFall 2 is my no.1 favorite PvP game. 10/10 and this is coming from somebody who legitimately “HATES” PvP of any and all variety.
It also has one of the best single player campaigns of any game I’ve ever experienced.
Titanfall two is a great game, but its unattended. Servers dont work, constantly getting disconected, and many hackers.
@@yudirtymindedbro9052 Everything works fine when I play. Maybe it depends on your region.
@@deficientprozac7036 A ton of creators have also had unplayable games, dont kno how u can have a smooth game.
@@yudirtymindedbro9052 I guess I'm lucky may be? I have never had any problems with that game since I bought it. Never crashed, servers all ways available and so on. As I stated before may be it has to do with region. Don't have an answer for you or the creators mate.
o7 pilot
21:11 - 21:14 Finally, a fellow that speaks my language!
Make him regular on total recoil.
PART 2 Please for the love of god make another one this a great watch I was thoroughly impressed
This is great, please do another episode! Apex has so many cool guns. The alternator has to be there. And he seemed to be interested in the sights too, so why not show him the other ones, I'd like to see him react to the ACOG
9:50
"The CZ Bren is based."
Damn straight.
omg the barrel shroud thing i totally forgot about that haha
Let’s get that part 2 with the other half of weapons
Love the content, love these two together.
Can't wait to see them return and cover some more games!
In Titanfall and Titanfall 2 you could actually see some of the calibers used on the magazin or weapon. Concept art also shows sometimes the ammo and role of the weapon, some have text with them.
The P2020 is in 11.43 X 23mm. Same as all versions in Titanfall.
The R-99 uses the Chinese 5.8mm round (in game it show pistol casings flying out of the gun though for whatever reason).
The Alternator is in 10mm.
The R-101/201 uses 8.19mm ammo (I think the idea was something like an 8mm Kurz from the STG 44, they probably put the .19 on the end of the 8 to make it not as obvious). The Longbow uses the same caliber but with probably way much more powder behind it. The R-301 is supposed to use a bigger bullet, but sadly there isn't any text on the gun to see what it is.
Spitfire MG is in 7.62mm, but no idea what 7.62.
The G7 (G2A4 in Titanfall 2) is in 6.19 X 97mm.
The C.A.R. is in 6.19 too, but shorter to become a 6.19 X 40mm.
The Kraber heavy sniper rifle is in .50 BMG in Apex Legends but is in 14.5x114mm in Titanfall and Titanfall 2.
As for all the other weapons, no idea. At some point it simply becomes the Rule of Cool, without much lore behind it.
Well, no guesses as to what round the
.30-.30 uses. It always tickled me the Kraber is literally just an anti-tank rifle given an infantry scope. I love the concept of the weapon. Cover? Armor? Giant murder bot? Just aim carefully and slowly pull.
Now this is what I’m talking about. Big ol bois being big ol men. Love the gun talk, brings some realism that i like to apex legends
Aside from our weapons expertise, the gameplay was really great tbh
Your kidding right? That guy is ass at the game
i was looking for this for so long, finally gun experts to say something about my fav game guns
"Too much ammunition" is relative, for you can never have enough dakka.
More dakka=more fun lol
Tell that to the guy who has to carry the ammunition belts for the machine guns on patrol
@@DjDolHaus86 I'd say that dakka is the expenditure of ammo. You can never expend too much, or even enough ammo. Holding and carrying said ammo, however, is a different story.
always love to see move total recoil episode. Pls make them more frequently
"That thing has to work everytime otherwise something might happen to you or worse, something might happen to one of your buddies". Damn that's a great friend.
So for future reference:
The white X that shows up when aiming down sights and hitting somebody with a shot is called a hit marker
The split up lines that show up near the center of the screen when not aiming down sights indicate the accuracy of your hipfire (this applies mainly to automatic guns in most games). If the space between the lines is small, your hipfire is estimated to be within that area, and as you fire off more rounds the space expands and your hipfire accuracy reduces.
You probably already noticed this when you were discussing about the Flatline, but all of the guns have unique ammo indicators on the weapons themselves.
In the story of the game, the humans who were colonizing the outer reaches of space had what was basically a space war amongst themselves, and many of the weapons here are updated weapons from Titanfall 2. The R-99 and the R-301 were originally the R-97 and the R-201. Guns like the flatline and the spitfire remained the same.
Thanks for reviewing the guns in apex! It was a fun video to watch and I got exposed to some terms I didn't know
23:35, originally, it was classes as an assault rifle that used heavy ammo in game.
Paul is awesome, he seems like he really enjoys being there. Great video.
This is one of the best experts react videos i've seen in a long time
The P2020 is such a satisfying gun to fire
I hope there's more of this. Too bad you didn't show the sniper optics yet.
We definitely need a part two of apex legends weapons
I like the dynamic here that Israel is normally the spec ops expert using his military knowledge to analyze games, whereas here he's obviously still got all that information but he's also the actual GAMING expert, explaining the in-game weapons themselves. The guy has range!
Excelent video mates, ya guys are amazing!
The back of the P2020's slide looks like the back of my Beretta Px4 Storm's slide, but doesn't have the hammer, as the Px4 Storm is a double/single action weapon. It IS different than most other pistols because it has a rotating single barrel, instead of a tilting barrel.
As for .50 cal rounds, we also have the .50 GI and the only thing I've seen it used in was a Gen 3 based, custom .50 cal Glock 19. The non hollowpoint rounds work well, but the hollows don't open up like they should, as opposed to .50 AE rounds from the Desert Eagle, or the .500 S&W hollows.
Great comment! I see what you’re saying, I actually carried a Px4 in a movie I acted in called Take Point: PMC, or PMC: The Bunker. We filmed in Korea for a couple of months, great experience, lots of cool guns in that flic!
@@PaulMeixnerFilms I'm currently using mine as a duty and daily carry. Got it in .40S&W with the Inox slide, upgraded the recoil spring, got a few 17rd. mags for it, and threw an OLight Baldr Mini tac-light/laser on it. I've had it a coupla years now, and it's an absolute delight to use.
Man I would LOVE if y’all could cover some more Apex guns. The repeater has some cool lever action movements and I like to hear what y’all have to say about the RE-45 too!
Thumbs up for peep sights. Phenomenal sights. Also these guys were great.
Need a part 2 with all the other guns! Would like to see the prowler, alternator, Kraber, CAR, Rampage, and all the shotguns.
I agree with his sentiment on peep sights; my Taurus has a rear sight that flip up and down, alternating between a peep aperture and open iron sights. And I'm much more accurate with the peep
what an awesome video, love apex and it was awesome to see how they measure up to real world stuff.
In the Titanfall/ Apex universe the R-301 uses a 8mm tungsten penetrator cartridge. And the R-97 uses a 5.8x42mm cartridge.
Love this episode, so much information about real guns 😃
get these guys again for a part two to cover the rest of the weapons. it would be cool to hear his opinion on the Metal Gear Solid guns too.
would love to see a part 2 make sure to include the kraber!!!!!
Paul needs to be in more videos, his knowledge and his explanations on guns are so in depth and interesting to listen, you just gotta keep him on, c'mon!
Great video! Was feeling ??? For alot of the gun terminology. But throw me into the deep end! This is fun!
Ay, a fellow lifeline main
We need a part 2 with the rest of the weapons. In addition, they should load the game themselves in the firing range to fully inspect the weapons.
Idk anything about guns but this was fun to watch as a player
I really like his tip about the wingman. I don’t think I shoot like that, but I’m going to try it out.
That was really cool. Would've loved him to see the peacekeeper seeing as it's an extremely futuristic shot gun

It'd be super cool to hear his impressions on the weirder guns, like the Alternator, and the Devotion, and the charge-up on the Sentinel bolt-action.
I would enjoy a part 2 of this.... I play a lot of apex so jts interesting to see what a firearms expert has to say about the guns.... I mainly wanna know what he thinks of the Kraber or the Peacekeeper
Please let the gun experts react to guns from Generation Zero (including the american and russian dlc guns)
“shoulder thing that goes up” love it
I was so hyped to see what weapons expert would say about the alternator because it's so futuristic and cool-designed :(
That guy has an awesome mohawk
I'm surprised we didn't get to see some of the iconic guns, like the Kraber or Peacekeeper for example, could it perhaps mean they are saving those for a part 2? I sure as hell hope so
Awesome vid! This guy knows his stuff!
Can't fool me, that's just James McAvoy practicing for his next role.
I liked the Peepshot comment here, I've always done my best shooting with peeps... Was the first time where shooting really opened up to me as well, the first time I shot a rifle with a peep sight. Previously I had shot with a scope and was A genuinely horrific shot. I actually remember the first time I shot at boy scout camp was with a scope, and after having missed the trap and getting chewed out for it, the second time I shot, was just desperate to make the paper and it was not fun. Fortunately a few years later I met that classic Combo Preacher/Firearms instructor we all run into, schooled me proper, and he was the one that encouraged the peep... wasn't more than a week or two and I was setting records at the range. Very proper comment on the dial in variation of large sights as well... Specially for precision shooting at anything over 50m with the naked eye, splits are frustraiting as hell to shoot out of bench (or with it lol) just on how easy it is to shift up and down or left and right, specially if you shoot with both eyes open.
Though this is a video game and unfortunately the modern trend is to make irons and weapon models as massive and unrealistically zoomed in to the screen, and while this game is certainly not the worst offender, I am not sure how I feel about how it handles iron-sights big fan of sci-fi inworld sights, wish we saw it more, but fuck me that back post is so wide and zoomed... I totally get the design principle though, easier to see whats going on, on screen. What kills me is the newfangled obsession with trying to zoom in with ironsights both in camera and in animation so there is no way that you could possibly have that cone of sight if you were actually holding the weapon. (Also... seriously wtf is with games holding rifles reasonably placed in view on screen, but then having the pistol so close to the screen the slide should put your eye out?)
God I can’t get enough of gameology
"you know, the thing that goes up". AHAHA savage, love it.
Loved this! 🙌
To this video's editor: that '200 round plastic drum' looks like an airsoft one not a real one :P
My favorite BR. Finally
Apex is my peanut butter and jam, super excited to hear your expertise on weapons I use on the daily.
