Firearms Expert Reacts To Squad’s Guns 

Yup, he was also pretty impressed with Tarkov

Make him Watch phantom forces

@@ray_murray829 Tarkov depicts customization properly, but like Mr. Ferguson said in his Tarkov video, a lot of those attachments are essentially showy, dead weight. No real operator's weapon would look anything like a lowest recoil HK416 build.

wish he would stream

I don't hate these videos but teaching about a firearm and actually being in fighting position you need to use one is two different things. I usually skip these videos because (this isn't a brag), but most of what he's saying is common knowledge and isn't nothing most people who are familiar with firearms already know. Im not saying he's wrong or it's bad content but if you wanna know about firearms, fighting with them is a key aspect of how it's used. And once you kinda already know that, it kinda kills what's he's saying.

@@tac6557 These videos are probably for common folk who are fascinated by firearms though would normally never get to actually fire one, at a range or in combat. I think these are entertainment oriented, instead of educational.

Except insurgency sandstorm

@Mr. Jack yeah lol I wish they would remove that

@@badgermcbadger1968 it's too funny in co-op to get rid of it. Echolocating bots with intimidate lines is actually quite useful

@@toastiestboy5817 I guess so but I never play co op

Except for that one time when he said the bolt hold open was the bolt release.

for comedic combat?

Okay now make him watch phantom forces

@@RevampReborn wtf is that

@@zachjackson8260 A first person shooter on Roblox, and it's surprisingly good for being... on Roblox

@@DarkDaFoxVT Well mainly because the devs actually put time and effort into it, but I'd rather it be under the fog. Also don't forget Arsenal.

Exactly, to be fair, even in cases, where it shouldn't, like the RPG7.

Tarkov does too

If only people would learn this in the tutorial, so much pain could be avoided.

@@Fiirow1 if only people played the tutorial

the rpg 7 frag round is waaaay too fast for the real life counter part and doesn't drop as dramatically too. if you look closely the frag rounds don't have the secondary propulsion openings like the heat or tandem, they rely only on the primary propulsion and that in real life makes it effective to 150 meters at best.

It really is nice, it shows he's serious about his work and loves his job, and when someone portrays their own work as "Realistic" he's going to take a fine-tooth comb to that and see if they can put their money where their mouth is. With games that are designed around slapstick insanity though he's willing to admit "Yea they're just taking the piss, but it can't hurt to see what IS practical/impractical about these weapons".

@@Rixoli precisely!

@ZeroClimatic Arcade shooters are normally harder in a way, the realistic damage in most realistic shooters mean you can drop anyone with 1 or 2 bullets. Metro isn't quite realistic although it takes the asthetic and minimalistic HUD

@ZeroClimatic Oh I see what you mean. No what I meant when saying arcadey shooters I mean modern shooters with Arcade elements like points, killstreaks, rewards, leveling up and upgrade systems, extremely fast pace, giant disparity on damage, individual competitive nature etc Things like COD and modern Battlefield etc Although those games you mentioned were great!

@ZeroClimatic I don't understand what you mean? I never said I played those games at all 😂

That's the most apt description of a pistol

Squad is not a milsim (according to the developers) but it's certainly more serious than most FPS.

@@Rotinaj37 yeah it's a walking sim

@@zilla6280 It usually shouldn't be if you're playing properly. Long walks are indicative of bad FOB placement, bad use of Rally points and bad use of vehicles. You will be punished for failing to use those properly. But I hear ya

That was smooth 😂 I’m surprised people haven’t done a “beat soundtrack” using the audio in this game

its funny because the british finally accepted the deal with the germans to completely outfit the british with the updated a2, aka germany fixed all the problems (atleast most) of the l85 platform, atleast now it wont jam constantly.

@@Thekilleroftanks Its still way too heavy, has way too much recoil for a rifle of its caliber, size and weight and the modularity options are simply not up to par when compared to an m4 or sadly enough a modern ak.

@@jonwinfield9193 the a2 is better than most Morden rifles lol

@@jonwinfield9193 the new a3 version is way more modular with a new picatinny rail and is lighter and more accurate due to the new free floating barrel. the only bad thing about the sa80 is that it has poor ergonomics compared to an ar15/m4 platform, but that is because it is a bullpup and all bullpups have shit ergonomics

@@timbenbrown5716 i wouldn't say so 1. It's Still Slightly too heavy 2. The Inability of Being Shot from the Left Hand 3. Poor Ergonomics when compared to Conventional Rifles 4. Is Rear Heavy Although, it's better than the A1, it's still no better than say the M4 or AK-12

Watch his newest Tarkov video and watch poor Johnathan go insane. 😋

Poor guy would have a stroke

Or the COD VANGUARD one, it's such a shitshow he almost cried

Call of duty Vanguard have entered the chat

In the Tarkov and HH3 videos a few cursed guns are thrown in. In fact, back at the end of 2021 they put out a "Most Cursed Guns of 2021" video.

It also has a mortar, which I believe is not often seen in video games.

FC2 butchered a lot of weapons compared to their real-life counterpart, but that seemed to be the trend back then

I just want to hear Johnathan praise the G3

@@marcusmendoza7677 atleast the weapons get dirty and jam up over time

@@whatsagoodnickname9025 eh a lot of games have mortars

Absolutely it would be great to get his thoughts on them

Yeeeeeeeesssss this so much

⬆️ This.

Yeah that would be awesome. Far Cry 2 had a crappy overall design with how repetitive it was, but the firefights and gunplay were amazing. It was the first game that made me realize that first person shooters could be more than just updated Goldeneye clones. Don't get me wrong, I spent hours innumerable playing Goldeneye and Perfect Dark and the first couple Far Cry games. But Far Cry 2 changed my expectations for the future of shooters.

This

Exactly, by law, he has to do it.

Y e s

Most definitely!

Beyond the wire he’s done enough ww2 guns

@@charliehoran3680 Beyond the Wire is a WW1 Shooter

I agree too

Thumbs up for this so he could see!

One thing I disliked is the tank vs tabk battles. They feel very random and you can soak up waaaaay too much damage from apfsds. Not to mention invincible gun breech

@@badgermcbadger1968 Yeah, that's one thing Post Scriptum really has over on Squad. The armor battles in that game are amazing. I prefer the infantry fighting in PS as well, but that's just more personal preference and not because it's inherently better like the armor mechanics are. I would really like him to do more Squad though, especially the zeroing system for sights. It's such a cool system that so few games use. Granted most games don't let you engage at a distance that would require you to even worry about your sights. But that's just one more on the list of reasons that I don't play those games lol.

@@thecreaturezoid478 Oh yeah tank battles in Post Scriptum are so freaking cool, I just love when shell bounces against the hull too (except when you are the turret gunner that is you trying to hit that mighty Panzer and you shit your pants at every reloads and shot attempts)

🤘

it's nice to see!

Was a pleasure playing with you bud!

@@IrregularDave Thanks, and very much likewise!

That's pretty cool! Thank you for the contribution.

Muzzle against the deck?

It's the same in the Norwegian Army 😊 We were told to just put the tip of the barrel carefully on the floor and keep it there while in flight

Yep, i disintcly remember getting bollocked by the RAF crew chief on a chinook for lifting the muzzle off the deck

Could depend on the forces, when I play squad on US team I usually see my muzzle is pointed up, interested to see if thats how they do it too

Unfortunately, the animations in SQUAD that show your character holding their weapon while within the vehicle are based on the characters class, not situation. The Russian marksman always has the barrel down, while most infantry holds their barrel up (usually with their hands over the muzzle pointed directly at their chin, for some reason.)

Did you just say clips instead of magazines

@@kunnandi he wasn't talking about magazines...

@@hornyducks4090 Wait he wasn't?

@@kunnandi Clips as in Video Clips

@@hornyducks4090 Oh, makes sense

+1 for stadia sight, I was amazed that it worked when I first tried the SVD and thinking of myself as 9-Hole Review rounds after rounds.

bf4 doe

Yes, and the grenades, the IED together with the explosion effects and the artillery. The 40mm detonations made him assume the explosion effects aren't as realistic but he really has to see the other explosions.

He's definitely familiar with them

Check out Post Scriptum as well; the authenticity of the sound design and the visuals is really immersive there.

Tarkov

Squad might sound great, but its actually broken as hell. There's only 3 sound files per gunshot, so if the sound file changes while youre walking up to someone shooting you not only know the direction they're in but the exact distance you are from them as well. Not even counting the lack of any vertical audio clues whatsoever, the sound engine needs a lot of work

I had to laugh when I read steel panther. On a friggin museum currator. :D

@@DUDA-__- Fun Facts: the singer of Steel Panther has a PhD in english literature and worked as assistant for a renowed english professor at Berkley.

Show him the type 115 and see him deal with the idea of an under barrel 50. BW

Oh my god that would be great

YES

Such a good game but so little attention, I wised more youtubers/streamers took a look at it.

Absolutely. Jonathan needs to look at that game

except nobody ever knows how to actually use the damn thing

@@roboticrebel4092 true but when they do they can clear entire sectors like hangers on tallil outskirst, and since they come in at an angle ive been hit by rockets from inside a hanger. Oh and imforgot to mettion the sound when they’re coming triggers a reaction that make out go OH SHIT

@@roboticrebel4092 Just like real life lol

@@roboticrebel4092 its a shame, one of my favorite roles to play is LAT. tracking a tank from a long range shot is so satisfying

Yes or when you hit a heli in the dack rotor

Agree. HL Glock Colt Python H&K MP5+M203 SPAS12 Tau Cannon M249 SAW Desert Eagle M40A1 Displacer Cannon(aka BFG9000 made by Black Mesa) Spore Launcher Shock Roach Barnacle HL2 Pulse Rifle MP7 Gravity Gun HL Alyx(I think he would talk a lot about Combine fabricating technology in term of overengineering) 1911 Pulse SMG Shotgun

HL Alyx: This is what he would say about the weapons. I hope in the future we have the technology like Combine Fabricator that allow the user to modified and customize their own guns into any configuration that they want. Alyx 1911+Combine Tech: Okay.....The pistol is now a machine pistol with hologram display sight instead of conventional red dot optic. It also got some sort of ammo reservoir and it reload automatically which is quiet impress. Overall, it's good but a little overengineering and it will cost a lot of money for this pistol. Shotgun+Combine Tech: The weapons look so compact ideal for personal defense weapons. Its got a folding stock remind me of VZ61 Skorpion. The way this thing reload is open like top break and insert each shotgun shell into the tube magazine. Then you close it, rack it and its ready to fire. It got the same hologram display sight like the pistol instead of conventional optic sight. What surprise me the most is autoloader. Those mechanical arms will grab each shell reload your shotgun automatically. Also, why would you need a grenade launcher for shotgun? Shouldn't we have that for assault rifle instead? Pulse SMG+Combine Tech This is probably the first compact size energy weapons used by the Combine. When the player reload the magazine. I thought you gonna insert the whole magazine into the gun. Instead, you just insert that small tiny energy cell and depose the empty magazine which is kind of waste resources if you ask me.

id like it.

"Obviously there aren't any real guns that will let you kill an enemy with a thrown toilet, but the technology is coming."

He has already done a video on cs, it's literally the same

Or just Titanfall universe weapons in general.

Titanfall 1's guns look a bit more like real guns, but hopefully we see a video on the series in general.

YES PLEASE. I so much want to see his reactions to the Mastiff, Flatline, Sidewinder, and the Ronin's shotgun.

@@morethanjustasloth5528 Alternator too since its such a stupid concept in an impossible design

Seconded

oh yes, and the jams

They aren’t bootleg, they are just poorly modeled.

That would be sick, especially showing him the jam animations

One of the games that had the most realistically working weapons; jamming, getting dirty, and at last - straight up falling apart in hands! Take care of your weapons! and keep them by your side…

@@KhrisMiddletonFitnessOfficial By bootleg I mean that in the lore of the game all weapons are either been though a lot of conflicts OR are knock offs of the originals

Farcry 2 absolutely

Killing Floor 2 would be pretty cool :)

Ah, a fellow man of low taste. (I mean that nicely lol)

yeah slapping your weapon to clear it helps... far cry is so mediocre, in my mind its a game you give to someone who has never played a fps game before... its too cinematic and not in a good way, everything just seems to done because it looks cool. while the core aspects of the game are left alone, which in my opinion would have to the horrible AI, they are blind, simplistic with no group cohesion, they just see enemy shoot a few rounds and hide behind cover. even old games like hl1 and 2 have more interesting enemies, they implement bounding, aggressive flanking and entering and will use grenades to flush an enemy out of cover...

Mitri I never said it was realistic, just would make a good video, didn’t need an essay on AI and inaccuracies.

@@zade8586 im just saying its not a very appealing series to do. maybe fc3 which had the gm 94 and surrpressed makarov would be slightly better.
