H&K seems to be a fairly successful company after the whole alien invasion thing.
That's why Combines lost the war
Or they just took over the factories, since every combine has a mp7 that means they can produce them and I doubt they would be paying for them
HK was always a succesful company.
LOWER THE DAMN PRICES GOD FUCKING DAMN IT HK
MysticalPie especially in Bulgaria
They were Mauser during Nazis, became HK. So if they survived that, they will definitely survive Combine
1:31 Gordon only studied theoretical psychics , he doesn't need the real ones.
Absolutely, he knew what the Combine didn't
Why valve? I didn't notice that before but now I can't unsee it thanks to this video
gordon is a jedi
gordon operates on defying non proven theories of quantum physics
Half Life logic
Every tube is a gun barrel that bullets can come out of
I mean, even the bullets technically come out of your eyes
And grenades! Don't forget grenades.
haha gas block=grenade launcher
Valve thought the mag tube was a second barrel
@@CrossOfBayonne No,because L4D2 has Spas-12 and doesn't fire 2 bullets (sorry for my bad english)
Fun facts galore:
1:03 - it did eject empty casings in beta.
1:08 - it's the same worldmodel from HL1, just with new texture.
1:35 - look at these spent primers and empty casings he's loading!
2:00 - probably everybody knows about this at this point, but grenade launcher is a leftover from cut OICW. Speaking of leftovers, metrocops with SMG are using animations from cut MP5K, most notably during reloading.
On a similar note, the AI using the AR2 actually use the OICW reload animation from the beta.
3:43 - Grenade actually has two world models in HL2, a primed one called "w_grenade" from "weapons" folder, which is featured in the video, and an ammo pickup version with lever visibly attached, called "grenadeammo" from "items" folder.
How did I not think about noting this three weeks ago is beyond me.
The pistol actually does ejects empty casings, it's just that its so hard to spot. If you look close at the reloading animation you can see the empty case fall out while Gordon quickly puts a new one in.
@@therealmemernet I think you have confused casings with magazines.
In a way you're right, empty *magazine* does fall out during reloaring, but *casing* is that part of an ammo round that contains gunpowder and should fly out of an ejection port after each shot.
@@MaximG. Yeah you're right, I checked again and realized that you were talking about casings.
I like to think it's the same Crowbar, it makes it feel more special
But where did he get it from?
Yea gman took his weapons away After HL1, they were government property after all...
Indeed, but the government did collapse. You never know, 20 years is a long time, could have ended up anywhere.
@@MaximG. In his Freeman Shrine. Or maybe his prison wallet.
It gets deleted at the en :((d though
Honestly, does Valve know how guns work beyond just looking at an image of one and assuming?
They probably look up the Ak on google images and found and image flipped one, modeled it, and called it a day.
They do they just don't care
Apparently not if the spas shoots from “both barrels ”
@@strewthherps7413 Then, everyone else looked at cs's ak and copied off of their homework for their own game project.
Only developer I know of with extensive knowledge on firearms is obsidian, but a lot of stuff dumbs down to "Its early 2000s monitors suck!" Which is probably why there isn't a speedloader, you cannot see it anyway. Or (why would I spend a few extra hours adding a secondary barrel to the shotgun, when I could spend it polishing the game?) Source is an infamously picky game to develop for, I've made stuff for it and I can tell you if you forgot one little thing its not worth going back for. Modern engines such as Unity, Unreal, and Cryengine, are much easier than source. Source was made in the era where most tasks were done by hand.
As for gun knowledge I cannot name many game studios with people with knowledge on guns besides the basics. Rockstar knows the basics but reading wikis half the time they get the guns in the wrong place at the wrong time or gun laws ignored (You cannot easily buy automatic weapons, especially under 3000K a UZI is 14K in real life. Because its a transferable machine gun and iconic, despite how terrible it is.)
Oh and Bethesda just guesses, the magazines for the hunting rifle enter through the sides for some reason.
Aperture science: portal technology
Black mesa: scientist so trained they can cram bullets anywhere and load a gun
To be fair the Aperture turrets fire the whole bullet, that's 65% more bullet per bullet
Black Mesa are Warhammer Orks
Gordon was trained in theoretical physics. He doesnt need the real ones.
0:00 Gordon with pp weapon
Gravity cock
it brings the chicks to it
Strongest type

THIS is the type of comment that gets hearted lmao
Gordon doesn't need to hear all this, he's a highly trained professional
We have assured the administrator that *nothing will go wrong.*
@@tathnousoxide9707 yes, quite right. Gordon we have complete confidence in you.

Are you people blind or stupid tell that to those scientists and guards and marines that died in that massacre

Fun Facts:
The 'chunky' worldmodel of the revolver is literally a retexture of the HL1 revolver worldmodel.
The reason it's referred to as the 'AR2' is because there was an AR1 in the beta: an AK-47, no less.
The AR2's model was originally used as a flare-gun-ish weapon, the Incendiary Rifle.
And last but not least, the USP Match's viewmodel not only used for the pistol, but other 'unfinished weapons' in the HL2 leaks. Such as some iterations of the 'Physgun' (the old Gravity Gun) and... the Demoman's Sticky Launcher (it is unknown if the stickylauncher in TF2 was based on the HL2 stickylauncher, but they function pretty much identically).
thank you dudetheninja
you are welcome, houdcat
ah shit, i literally just commented the first fact lol
i thought the ar1 was the sniper
Huh, I didn’t know that the HL2 357 worldmodel is actually the same model from HL1 with a different texture! That explains why it looks so comparatively “sloppy” compared to the others
"The AR3 is not real, and will not hurt you"
Radio Operator: "See, in the city, the place was lousy with AR3s."
funnily enough, mmod's mounted combine gun is called weapon_ar3. the rebel dude is kinda correct
"The AR3 is not real and it will not hurt you."
Anton and his H3VR: "Allow me to introduce myself." *Update 87: Added Half life themed weapons including the AR3.*
yeah lmao i love that update, it was like "alright imma go on the test ground and see whats ne- HOLY SHIT HALF LIFE WEAPONS?!"
It is great by the way. It is so funny when you chop the civil erection sosigs with a rusty axe and they say "aim a little bit higher next ti- **COUGH** **beeeeeeeeeeeeep**
The Wolves Gang no it's
*BE-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
We used to kill them with our bare hands.
I just realized AR2 could stand for Assault Rifle 2
The Combines were just like "uhhh, just steal the entire HK desgins"
I don't remember this correctly but i'll try, this is just a theory though, don't know if it's canon to the game
The combine's source of power is called "dark energy", supposedly energy of a negative mass. The idea is when an entity of negative mass meets with a real mass, some kind of scientific thing happens and boom, the object of contact "disintegrates"
This means,as the ar2 is powered by this dark energy, its pulse fire slowly chips/disintegrates small chunks of the position hit, and its alternate fire sends out a more dense dark energy, thus disintegrating the enemy as a whole.
However, when gordon went into that weapons confiscation reactor, the combine used the same energy to remove the weapons by disintegrating it, and this works because weapons have real mass(i don't know why people aren't affected but let's ignore that). This is when the reactor meets gravity gun, aka Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator.
The gravity guns works because of this "zero point field", (which in the game's scientific lore) contains a medium of zero energy. Zero energy=zero mass. When the supposedly dark energy of this negative mass meets with a medium of zero mass, the reaction was a multiplied/infinitely reacting reaction (i don't know the specifics), causing the gravity gun to become "supercharged"
The strength becomes multiplied and it becomes blue (i don't know why, maybe it's because game logic, because in hl ep 1, the core of the dark energy is black/dark), and thus the super gravity gun is born.
Thanks for reading
huh. very interesting
@@grayefarer8151 Sounds like video game mambo jumbo, but at least it sounds sciencey, I'll give you that
Micλh Loomis antimatter destroys matter through annihilation. Basically explosions, but dark energy disintegrates things. I think.
@@bobross1512 we don't really know what and why and how antimatter works, because most of the things are in theory, not practice
Ris Caw but we do know how it reacts with matter
The Half Life 2 MMod does its best to try and fix a lot of the old issues with the animations and models and such to some extent. The Colt Python has a speed loader and actually-attached cylinder. the SPAS-12 simply fires two shots in semi-auto very rapidly, (Since the spas 12 can be either semi-auto or pump-action, that's one of the things unique about it) then pumps, and the MP7 gets the second barrel made larger, and Freeman pumps the foregrip to seemingly either eject what little of the grenade is left and/or load a new one into place for firing.
It also fixes that bizarre thing with the AR2 being that you don't seemingly put any new ammo in and it just kinda reloads, instead having the base-game's reload animation be part of the firing ammunition, and that big old mag that wraps around the gun is actually removed and replaced
just got to black mesa east with the MMod and have been having a far better experience than without it. if anyone is readin this who hasn’t played HL2 with the MMod, do yourself a favor and install it, it’s so good
MMod is amazing.
Fun fact: The fact that the SPAS-12 can be switched to semiautomatic was one of the key reasons it was (and still is) banned from import into the United States. It was a semiautomatic shotgun with a folding stock. So there are only around 1800-2000 SPAS-12's in the US. The SPAS-15 shared a similar fate, as less than 200 were ever imported legally.
yeah that mod is excellent, that's how HL2 sould be played
I dont like how he reloads the ar2 in mmod tho, maybe in the future version where when all of those tiny bullets are gone you have to reload the entire mag of the ar2, so is much better
Gordon is a gun wizard. He's watched Die Hard like fifty times already
It's pretty easy to explain any inaccuracies with the weapon as modifications by the combine.
SPACE GUNS
Tell this to the double shooting SPAS!
kraut space guns
Dániel Bedrossian I like to think they just modified the the tube to be a second barrel, that’s why the hl2 shotgun can only hold 6 rounds, part of the tube’s a barrel now
@@danielbedrossian5986 it's an extremely rare variant specifically commissioned by the Black Mesa facility, the reason it can only hold six rounds is because the ammo tube is replaced with the second barrel
Eyy I wanted to get this one out Friday but Corona Virus meant I was getting call in for relief work all of last week and the week before so I was busy and needed a bit of a break. I'm surprised I managed to push out the first 2 vids in the time I did.
Will probably look over errors and things I missed in a follow up video.
Thanks for watching me try to comprehend gun.
Happen in on world.oh thank you
Thanks for my request whomobile.
How about HL mods of your choosing
Just to tell you you misspelled Franchi, it's pronounced Fran-key
Again. Gun nerd here urm. I think... I noticed that, the "ejector rod" (stick for pushing casings out of a cylinder) doesn't move with the center of the cylinder, but stays textured on the gun as well. The slightly shiny texture part yeah that one. Huge oversight: it's on both sides.... What else...
The colt Python I think was MEANT to be the Anaconda
The MP7 has two protruding "barrels" probably meant to justify the grenade launcher, as Valve LOVES SECONDARY barrels. The slab on the back is telescoping stock ie back and forth... urm...
The pulse rifle, this is my best guess: was definitely based off the HK21 futuristified along with just basically various LMGs, altho the first person animation lacks detail....... basically a G3 LMG... and...
GOOD FIND on the SPAS-12 I was surprised that was inaccurate!!!
Crossbow uses what is apparently a very high battery charge to basically get the rebar red hot instantly... Probably some type of circuit idk..
Well yeah. Cheers thx for reading and I'll go away like the nuisance I am lmao enjoy.!!!
3:17
in Gmod, when you try spawning a TF2 shotgun prop, it will have the HL2 Shotgun's textures smeared all over it, because of the fact they share file names.
4:07 The RPG in half-life has zero relation with the targeting system of the stinger, because the FM-92 Stinger uses infrared homing while the RPG in half-life uses semi-automatic command to line of sight, in short the Stinger flies towards “the strongest heat source” while the half-life RPG “rides a laser beam”.
By the way it handles i'd think the half life rocket is fly-by-wire
chaigonjenkins yeah, I’m not extremely knowledgeable on Heavy Ballistics and such, but is the Half-Life “RPG” handling similar to what a real-life Wire-Guided Missile works like? Like the TOW, with the metal guide wire launched just before the rocket itself and directed by the operator
it's based about the AT4 which hasn't guided rockets.
_Can't wait for Half-Life 3 Item Origins!_
@copchie nah way really!?
woooosh
Valve can't count to 3
hl:Alyx's ending is basically a "NEW HALF LIFE GAME COMFIRMED" or another cliffhanger just ep2's ending.
@@lucacianflone4128 And do you think they'll do it for the third time? I thought not
The AR2's core functionality is found in just 2 components; the Energy Cell and the Pin, the Pin just slams into the cell and a pellet/projectile come out the other side, why am I mentioning this? Well since the components are just mainly those 2 (ignoring the energy ball thing) you could imagine just how *compact* it could get without the unneeded clutter. Also the way it reloads, it just replaces the cell, it struck me as odd that it can only hold 60 or 2 cells in reserve when the (very detachable) magazine(?) can physically hold more.
Imagine just holding the barrel part of the AR2 and continuously smashing a pin onto it.
Also Half Life: Alyx Guns when?
Yeah, in the MMOD, the AR2 has a better depiction, with 1 cell = 1 projectile. You can see this in its animation where everytime the pin slams into the cell, the used cell is quickly ejected, and a fresh one is slid in. And instead of just replacing a single cell, the reload animation shows Gordon taking the entire magazine off, and replacing it with a new one.
I bet all the bulk helps with the recoil. Considering it's more powerful than the smg it could easily kick like a mule.
Gordon: leaves crowbar behind in black mesa
Barney: *_This will be a fine addition to my collection_*
Two things:
1- The AR2's receiver and stock kinda looks like that of a H&K G3 rifle.
2- No one's gonna mention how the crossbow's viewmodel has no grip?
2:59 “in particular the Franchi SPAS-12”? The SPAS-12 was produced by Franchi so the only type of SPAS-12 is the Franchi SPAS-12.. Good video just thought that was worth mentioning.
There's probably some underworld ripoff of the spas 12 that is called the spas 120
I like how ar2 is such a good weapon that everybody just agreed "yes, this is assault rifle 2."
Fun fact for those who don’t know: the supercharged gravity gun’s model is used for the phys gun in gmod
The crowbar that Barney gave gordon actually isn't gordon's. Barney actually found that crowbar during the game called half life blue shift
gman/the military took the 2 crowbars gordon had too
0:43 I think Barney just gave Gordon his crowbar that he used in Blue Shift.
It's probably not it's the crowbar you got at the start of the game not the one just given to you in the middle
He also reloads all his guns with the same empty magazine, probaly to save memory cost
Again, really enjoy the audible switching sounds as you move from weapon to weapon.
every single weapon has some form of broken animation or inaccuracy (besides the crowbar and gravity gun)
INACCURACY ALERT: the gravity gun, despite many rumors, is not real
@@liquidbanana thank you for clearing up the confusion. i too, at some point, believed this rumor to be true
gordon holds the crowbar wrong
gordon onehands a crowbar.
The interesting thing is that the revolver in half life 2 is from black mesa it even has the little logo of black mesa on it in both games
The combine is in love whit the HK XD
Wheres the other half?
Full Life releases in 2200
It pains me in my soul when I use the pistol in game and see that sad looking fake hammer that just sits there literally solid with the frame like it's part of the polymer frame as one piece.
Glad I caught this soon after it was uploaded!
Just what I needed this Tuesday!
Fun fact, the gravity gun was an aperture invention, thats why the portal gun shares some of its functionality and design. You can see it on the desk next to the portal gun in the Lab Rat comic
between this and TF2 we can safely say vale doesn't know to to make a revolver
2:28 when i hear AR3 i remember the guy from ep2 when you arrive to white forest which argues about AR3 being a thing. That scene was pretty amusing tbh. ua-cam.com/video/XqLAway4TjE/v-deo.html
probably it is idk maybe but nah
The link isn't a Rick Roll. I promise.
0:20 when skeletons shoot you in painful area
The Pulse Rifle kinda looks like a heavily nodified STG-44 to me. Could be wrong tho.
So, G3 then
@@erwinsetyo1061 Or a 1950s era CETME which inspired the G3 and all it's variants
oh boi can't wait for Half Life 3
I always thought the pheropod looks like a pin cushion, especially with the blue things on it
Props for effort on this video. +1
If I remember correctly, the real USP Match use .45 ACP rounds but the one in Half-Life use 9mm and that's why the mag size is bigger.
It's 9mm the only H&K pistol that fires .45 cal rounds are USPs.
It can shoot 9mm bro
3:49
They did that because (this is all a theory dunno if it's confirmed) the combine call them "extractors", so basically they're meant to flush people out of cover etc, thus the flashing light, and the long detonation time.
Nah it's just gameplay thing
I love this channel
Look at the beta weapons. PLEASE
the SLAM and stunstick are used in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.
@@johnpauliii1218 Those aren't nessecarily beta weapons.
HL2 Beta weapons are flare gun, ak47, sniper rifle and others. This video missed the Combine's Sniper Rifle however. Possibly because it wasn't seen by the player.
"Heckler and Coke"
It's actually pronounced Koch
@@CrossOfBayonne I know
when I read the description I can't help but think of wepon
I forgot about the super gravity gun. I love how it shakes in his hands, like it might explode at any second.
0:53 h&k made a contract with the combine empire to make weapons for them if theybprotect the families of the workers and also payment
1000th like, great video!
2:30 - I remember that weapon from Delta Force Land Warrior.
Now I can't unsee the revolvers reload now.
I also love reading imfdb pages
Awesome ♥️
The Alyxgun is actually a modified M1911 with a Barrel compensator and shroud with a rather large heatshield modification
Gordon really is a gun wizard
I like how you said the name of the Rocket Launcher in 3:58 :D
Combine really like that H&K
You see Gordon, if you shoot rocket backwards, Gunship will be confuse and not shoot down rocket.
0:43 yes and no. i've finally figured it out. during the beginning of half-life, gordon picks up his original crowbar. in the beginning of blast pit, gordon walks past a second crowbar he can pick up if he skipped the crowbar using a bug in the beginning. this is the first crowbar he canonically leaves behind. it later is taken from him by the hgrunts that kidnap him at the end of apprehension, he loses his original crowbar. he is lucky to find they dropped it on top of the crusher and he uses it to escape. so, here's what i'm thinking. barney somehow (during the teleport scene perhaps?) finds the second cowbar on the blast pit table and gives it to gordon in half life 2, saying he dropped it at black mesa. the crowbar he gives gordon in episode 1 is his original crowbar he used in blue shift, saying *"i* don't have many of those" and not that it belonged to gordon initially. and then there's the EP3 crowbar gordon just finds jammed in some lift.
Can’t wait for Half Life 2 *Beta* Item Origins.
my theory of the crowbar is that the barney that you find in hl2 was going your same way and in a room of a chapter that i dont remember the name of there was another crowbar and if u restart server and go to that room again the crowbar cn be picked up, maybe it is that one
The ar2 trigger area and stock somewhat reminded me of the heckler and Koch G3
1:10 I dunno why, but I love the way he says "It's a bit chunky"
The half life 2 grenade is modelled after the standard US m18 smoke grenade, the white ring surrounding the olive can indicates it is a white colored smoke, which is generally used to conceal infantry movement.
These series will earn a sub from me
"MK" in military equipment is pronounced "mark", not "em kay".
m’kay.
@@PrivateBryan Don't white knight. Correcting mistakes should be default for everyone, rather than the idiotic attempt at preserving precious fee fees that most people try.
@@PrivateBryan Thank you :)
Reminds me of someone pronouncing Majora's Mask "Mahora's Mask" even though everyone including the developers call it Majora.
@@hideofreakingkojima5457 were they Spanish?
it's heckler and koch the ch is pronounced as if you went "HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
I used that exact hl2 plasterwall texture in beginning of video for my fallout 4 mod
the lower right prong on the gravity gun is slightly further out than the other two
the smg might not have a typical underbarrel but it does have two barrels if you look closely. maybe the grenades are bullet sized
I also think that the tau cannon is just a mini version of the anti mass spectrometer
AR2 is a edited OICW model, in first person one can easily see
In my head canon i like to think that the gravity gun either(since it cant really pick which part to grab) picks up the bones, muscles, organs or skin when it picks up a combine. This could either be the most horible way to go or if you're lucky a quick death (depending on where you get grabbed)
The AR3 is terrifying. I honestly have nightmares of it.
You can see there a text that's from game theorists said Gordon is a gun wizard
we need a black mesa / half life 1 side by side origins video! just like how you did it with the HD textures pack
The pulse rifle is a pretty interesting take on plasma weaponry.
I remember when I got the gravity gun supercharged and I was able to pick up combine and throw them at other combine
Made me relive those days of Gmod
Can't wait to 3 one
It took me til now to realize the pistol just has a match weight on the muzzle. I just thought the whole time it was some futuristic design
The crowbar barney had was probably the one he had in blue shift
you plan on doing a video for Hale Life: Alyx's weapons?
okay i just realized how freakin tiny that sight is
I mean, you missed that the city was lousy with AR3s...
Gorgeos Freeman
Gordon seems to use a full moon clip when reloading and unloading the python. This would explain all the shells ejecting at once, but as far as I’m aware, the python wasn’t designed to use them
Hey man, I really like your tf2 & hl item origin videos. I was wondering if you could do the tfc (Team Fortress Classic, Team Fortress) weapons or maybe do it by class.
Fun fact! The Python worldmodel is literally the one from HL1 with a new skin
VR half life 2 reinvigorated my interest in this game
Also helps with the revolver issues--
every time I take a look of the weapons is from GMOD I think thats GMOD with a campaing version
Please tell me you are joking
I will just add because I own a python:
1:37 when he opens the cylinder he just pulls back on the release and it falls. He would have to hold it open and push the cylinder out with his fingers it wouldnt just fall out like that on a python.
1:40 when he slams it shut like that, it is extremely difficult to do on that particular gun and requires your hand to actually close it shut.
1:42 Also without the hammer cocked that cylinder would not be able to spin because it is locked in the closed position. He would have to hold the hammer back slightly for that cylinder to spin.
I think the .357 magnum having a chunky worldmodel is due to no npc's using it. The worldmodel is only seen when you pick it up, unlike something like the mp7, which both the combine and resistance use frequently.
Finally
Gordon also removes all the bullets from the magnum when reloading, and none of the bullets are gone when he shoots.
Bullets from a revolver don’t eject casings like pistols do, They have to be manually ejected using the ejector rod.
Though Gordon does have to stop wasting bullets, Those cost money man!
