I would pay big money to go to the pub with Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history and Toby Capwell - historian, author, and expert on Midieval and Renaissance arms and armor and just talk about this stuff for hours!!
This is both a meme, and a genuine request. I would genuinely enjoy a dinner with both Jonathan Ferguson - the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history and Toby Capwell - historian, author, and expert on Midieval and Renaissance arms and armor.
i feel that, like not even real world guns but the amount of stuff hes managed to work out on his own and how close he was. like the bloodbourne video he made it click in my head that we are just using mercury bullets
Fun fact about the Skorpion: with a standard sized magazine, if you hold the trigger down, the mag will be empty before the first brass hits the ground.
More fun fact, it was designed for the stock to be rested on the cheek not shoulder. Which clearly none of the guntubers know since they put it at shoulder and than complain how unwieldy it is.
The SSG 82 or in it's German name, "Scarfschutzengewehr 82" which meant "Sharpshooter Rifle 82". It wasn't made by Styer who also had a rifle prior that had the name naming structure as the SSG 69. The difference between the 69 and 82 is that the 69 was built using Kar98K bolts that were left as surplus back in the 60s and they just refurbed it, slapped a new rotary mag design with it around a synthetic stock and made it the SSG 69 to be used by militaries and police force whereas the SSG 82 was made for the East German Stasi in mind first.
Little nit-pick to maybe edit: Your comment says "scarfschutzengewehr", but the actual term is "Scharfschützengewehr". Again, no critique, just a thing I noticed-
It was meant to be used in an Anti-Terror capacity by Anti-Terror Units within the Stasi. It was developed and built by the Fahrzeug- und Jagdwaffenwerk „Ernst Thälmann“ in Suhl. Ian from Forgotten Weapons has an Episode on it.
Yeah, they don’t have them in their museum, and when they have come up, I think his commentary tends to involve some variation of “I haven’t had my hands on this, so there’s not much I can add”
Into the Radius could be a good game for that. It's got excellent VR gameplay and weapon models and has a handful of oddball Soviet stuff like the OTs-33
That modernized AUG at 2:35 isn't based off the AuStyer (the Australian military's version) its just the AUG A3. Meaning it wouldn’t have the holes on the side to cool the gun like you said. They actually made a mistake with the in games model though. They're using the NATO version which only takes AR-15 style magazines. You can tell by the lack if a bolt release on the left side of the mag well. This means that the waffle mag shown on screen actually wouldn't seat or feed properly. Sorry, I'm a bit AUGtistic.
not to mention that it isn't uncommon to see the Steyr AUG with shorter barrels. Our Austrian Military Special Forces Unit the Jagdkommando and our Police Special Forces Unit EKO Cobra and WEGA have shorter barrels for the AUG.
@@SwanieGamingThat's the magic of the AUG. Swapping a whole barrel assembly is just a matter of click, twist, pull out, insert new assembly, twist to lock and presto: Whole different barrel ready to go
The Blaze can also be fired in double shot. So you shoot both .308 rounds at the same time. Great if you can successfully land both shots, so it can take down a player quickly. In single fire mode you can let off both shots without needing to leave your sights due to it not having a bolt vs other 308 rifles like the m70 tundra ot savanna. Making it one of the better rifles for players who are great at landing those shots. With its only downside is loading both shots back in. It can also be equipped with a generic Hunting Scope too.
They really nerfed it unfortunately though. The double shot is pretty innaccurate now unless you're pretty close. It used to have the exact same trajectory. Wobo made a video on it awhile back
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.
I'd love to see MGS3 on this series. I'd add some things i want to see: -Ocelot using his PM Makarov and trying to load single cartridge to the chamber -XM16E1 -AMD 65 -"Fury"'s flamethrower
Thats such a great shout, when I saw the Mosin it immediately came to mind. Kinda surprised its not been referenced already but with Delta on it's way we will most likely see it at some point!
Regarding the "original" Obrez, I remember reading they were mostly done out of Mosin-Nagant rechambered in .410 gauge to be sold as "civilian shotguns". That way the overly short barrel actually makes some sense.
We’re going to get a Valkyria Chronicles video one of these days. I have faith. I’d love to hear Jonathan’s thoughts on all the different firearm variations and attachments, and the lances in general.
I can only hope its simply taking a while because getting footage of the late game variants with all the increasingly ludicrous greeblies requires playing through most of the games.
@@MoGumbo_I mean according to the ending of the last film he is, yea. But he might just pull a Sherlock Holmes and magically resurrect. As far as I know, they are filming another one. Keanu said they’d keep making them, as long as people keep watching. Maybe prequels or whatever, who knows.
Come on gang, I still desperately need you to show Johnathan the guns of the Killzone series. They're genuinely amazing and so cool I think he'd have a field day with it!
FYI - the modernized AUG shown im the Game is the AUG A3. So... it has been upgraded. Austrian police use a version of them, and also Army Jagkommando (Rangers), but not conscripts, which are issued the A1. Greeting from Austria :)
When he mentions that the mosin has too low of recoil in game it should be mentioned that the mosin shown in game has a compensator, which when put on the gun in game halves the recoil.
I think the Vaiga reload is more plausible than Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history gave it credit for. The character in the game rotates the gun 90 degrees so that the ejection port is almost straight up which means that the round can be tossed in with the left side of the chamber as the "bottom" to rest on and have it be less likely to flop out the magazine well of the gun than when it is being held upright. I don't have the gun to test it but I would think the different orientation would at least help with pulling it off.
Fun fact: the "zombies" in DayZ aren't actually zombies. They're still alive and are just "infected". The survivors are just immune. So, killing the infected doesn't require killing the brain or anything extra. Also, the Z in DayZ does not stand for zombies, instead it's for Zero referencing how to mod would show how many days you have survived.
DayZ = Day Zero for Infection and yes they can be call at Zombies/undead. DayZ was builded on concept of movie "28 days later" where infection spread through physical way and actualy kills most of the brain and left of primal sences. Survivors aren't Immune they just dont get physicaly infected. Thats something DayZ mod and DayZ Standalone(alpha version of current game) had clearly visible on the table. If your character get infection and dies on infection. Character will get up after couple minutes and wander around like the other Zs with all your stuff except the weapon in your hand. Sadly it's caused couple funny glitches where players characters after being reanimated were, actually immortal. You can shot them down and loot but they eventually get up back or make your next character having this glitch on in and never actually died. And full release get rid of this function until they made it work correctly.
It's still just a twist on the zombie mythos. They may not be called "zombies" in-game, but it's still very much a zombie game, and the infected are still very much zombies.
@@filtousik You are wrong, devs them self specifically stated that players are immune and that they are NOT zombies they are infected. and it spread airborne
1:53 New Zealand Defence Force used to issue out F88s (Australian manufactured AUGs) with barrels that length to vehicle crews and the standard length to infantry, back when it was the service rifle. I believe that there might even be a shorter barrel than that, that ends with the flash suppressor starting just a tiny bit forward of the monopod (folding front grip). Just a bit of info for Mr Ferguson, if you read this.
I'd like to see Jonathan react to even even even more Tarkov weapons. There's been new additions and a whole new recoil system since the last time he looked at it. Would love to see the SIG Spear analysis.
Inventory management in DayZ is very important, so I could see the desire for having a powerful gun such as a Mosin but wanting to take up as little space as possible. Sure, you'd only be restricted to close range with it, but anything you shoot at that range is gonna drop instantly. I'd take the full rifle personally, but I can see why you'd saw it down so much.
I love my weekly dose of Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history
That AUG he pulled out sure has some style, gotta love them bullpups It'd be great to do a review of the guns of Deus ex, i know for a fact that Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of firearm and artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, talked about it once or twice
I see you are covering older games, it would be great if you covered Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter and to specifically cover weapons like the M8 series and especially the MRC Caseless rifle. I have been asking for you to do this on each video for the last 2 years now.
"Intermediate" bolt actions are relatively common on US sporting market. Seem mostly aimed at youth models and/or coyote sized varmint removal. 91st week of asking for Bullet Girls Phantasia episode of Expert Reacts.22nd week asking for Loadout on games handling RPG mechanics (item progression and stat progression) with arms.
Prefer to call them 17:30 _machine_ carbines and if it has no auto sear: _automatic_ carbine ツ I know Jonathan protests _machinegun_ as an umbrella term for all firearms capable of automatic fire- meet you halfway and call them _machine_ weapons!
couple things you missed: the over under rifle has a "double shot mode" firing both barrels, the older version of the AUG only uses specific AUG Mags and the modern one can take both the AUG Mags plus standard NATO Mags. On the topic of lethal damage to zombies: DayZ´s zombies are alive infected humans not walking corpses ;) Love your work! Keep it up!
The Aug A1 that is shown is the same as the Irish DF weapon , they use the short barrel variant for cavalry troops, the A1 has been replaced with the Mod 14 variant which is nearly identical to the game version, only difference is the acog sight on the top which has fiber optic light assistance.

I always eat something while watching Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history, and always click 'like' before doing so. Highlight of the week 👍
On the topic of killing zombies and going unnoticed, it occurred to me awhile ago that .300BLK or 9x39mm would both be great options for fighting zombies. Being large, heavy rounds that are easily suppressed (a marginal benefit, but still) that can do a lot of damage, and even more so if you use hollowpoints.
I think that's just the AUG with the 16" barrel. I imagine that Jonathan is more familiar with the 20" and 24" military versions due to the nature of the collection he deals with, but civilian AUGs in the US tend to come with 16" barrels as standard. Mine did, though I quickly bought a 20" because it's cooler and have been looking for the 24" as well.
Our Austrian Military Special Forces unit the Jagdkommando use the Steyr AUG with an 16'' inch barrel and a special lowered 3x version of the classic Steyr AUG Scope. The Police Secial Forces Cobra and WEGA are using the AUG A3 also with shorter barrel. Either with 16'' inch or 14'' I am not sure right now
@@Black0raz0r The new rifles purchased in the mid-2010s were reportedly ordered with a 14.9" barrel. I suspect that this is the new basic rifle in service with the entire police. Especially since WEGA was equipped with StG77s - which are no longer in service AFAIK. I also concur with the original comment here that Johnathan is likely only familiar with the Steyr AUG A1, Austeyr F88 and AuSteyr EF88/F90 variants and not really with the A2 or A3 variants. (The former having been in service with Commonwealth forces that likely supplied examples or information to the Royal Armories).
1:58 No... it is not uncommon to see a Steyr AUG with an shorter barrel. Our Austrian Military Special Forces the Jagdkommando and our Police Special Forces EKO Cobra and WEGA have shorter barrels. 3:08 No.... That's the modernized version of the Steyr AUG A1 called Steyr AUG A3 3:20 You Only need to switch the Upper receiver from the classic A1 version from 1977 to the A2/A3 Version with the Rail (and the Handguard from Steyr Arms or Corvus Defensio) and you Updated your AUG. And no... you don't need to do "Surgery" to the Lower Receiver.
Dude, the Aug is the one that tank crews, etc, used to carry in Australia. Not uncommon at all. More compact for drivers/crew. Us Aussies also had an F88 capable of having a starlight scope mounted on it back in the 90’s as well.
The blaze, the one with over and under barrel with 308 is based on the FAIR combi rifle, dayz veterans will remember that long time ago that rifle would fire 12ga
It's important to note that the zombies in DayZ are not undead, but infected people, similarly to those in 28 days/weeks later. So even a body shot can stop them, or just a simple headshot.
Like has been given for referencing G1 Transformers! suggestions for future vids, would love to see the F.E.A.R. series covered, or Command & Conquer Renegade
The reason for a two barrel rifle is hunting. There are some places where it is illegal to hunt with self-loading or even bolt action rifles. Especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where it is used as a measure to cut back on poaching.
The best way ive found to do a single shell load on a Saiga 12 is, use your left hand gripping the reciever with your four fingers holding the shell in the magwel, while pressing upwards on the shell ( almost like your fingers are the magazine spring) pull back on the bolt untill it clears the shell and it pops right into place, gently let the bolt go home. With practice you can get very good at it. It is semi practical too because it allows you to have one in the chamber and then put in a full mag
I think the only real utility of the sawn-off Mosin is if you are doing it to save inventory space to hoard more guns, this way you have a higher chance in case it or one of the other guns you have is the first one you find the right ammo type for early on. Because it is still a lot better than no working gun or being stuck with a weak pistol for unexpected hostile player and animal encounters at medium to longer ranges.
About the scorpion with supressor - I *heard*, that there was a problem with silensed sten submachineguns - if you shoot one of them on full auto (i don't know how many round it takes, sorry), the silenser becomes the "loudser" until gases are out. By the way, some kind of that behaviour is shown in "Return to castle Wolfenstein", at least to a certain degree😅 That's just a rumor, but developers might heard it too, so maybe that's where it comes from.
My favourite part was Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons throughout history, "thumbing it in".
it's amazing how i could not care less about any other content on this channel but John always pulls me back without fail. One can only hope fps devs are listening to him.
Also the Vz 61's bolt wasn't fully closed. I wonder what source material they used for the gun, because there shouldn't be a gap there at the top where the shells are ejected when the bolt is closed.
Fun fact about the Obrez Mosin, the word "Obrez" is a masculine noun meaning sawn or cut-off, in adjective form "obrezanie" is used to refer to circumcision
The "Blazer" over under 308 is made by Blaser with an S, they are eastern european and make all sorts of rifles, over unders, and tri barreled combo guns for hunting. the tri barrels are so cool often being chambered for a low power, full power, and shotgun cartridge in game its nice to have an instant followup shot because at 500+ meters most full power guns require 2 shots. also all of the guns missing components can have them added, stocks and grips and optics
uh, the SSG 82 wasn't made by Steyr though, it was made in East Germany. Steyr was also mainly using polymer at that point in time. Yes, the civilian version of the ssg69 was available with wooden furniture, but the standard for steyr was polymer.
I should add the reason why I was watching this video in the first place is I do play DayZ as a matter of fact I was playing when this video came up in my feed
Funny you mention the suppressor bit as that's part of a slightly hot topic about the game atm lol. They wear so quickly in game as the main balancing reason due to how OP they are in a PVP open world game.
