It's been a journey playing this game. 600 hours, hundreds of devlogs and almost as many comments. I've played this game for years and it has changed my life the community around this game is fantastic and I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas. So when's the C8
I rarely get excited nowadays, but when I unboxed the Girandoni, it made me do a little gremlin dance. Never in my life would I have expected that particular gun! For those who don't know, here are a few historical tidbits: - This weapon was invented by the Tyrolean clock maker Bartolomeo Girandoni around 1770 (which makes it the second oldest gun in H3 as of now). - It was by far not the first air rifle in existence (some dating back to the late 16th century), but the first one with a magazine and detachable air tanks. - It was actually issued to the Austro-Hungarian army on a larger scale (none less than 1300!), despite the limited production capabilities of the time. - During the Napoleonic wars, the French feared this weapon because it was relatively silent, had no muzzle flash and did not produce any smoke which could tell on the position of the shooter, not to speak of its incredible rate of fire and capacity by late 18th/early 19th century standards. - Because filling the air tanks by hand was tedious, pumping carts were designed with which one could fill several tanks at once, and every shooter was issued a few spare tanks. - Lewis and Clark had one of them (or a similar model) on their expedition, with its main advantages being that it did not require any gunpowder, which was obviously hard to obtain in the wilderness, and that it still worked in a damp or wet environment. They also used it to show off to the natives they met along the way. - Because of wear and tear, and because they tended to be quite unreliable, unfortunately the majority of them had been scrapped by 1848.
Greetings fellow airgun enthusiast! I also did an embarassing happy dance seeing the Girardoni. Such a thing could only be done properly in digital media by the Master Hand himself. Funny enough, for christmas IRL I received a Seneca Aspen multi-pump PCP rifle. A PCP rifle with a built-in pump for field charging. Thankfully it takes far fewer pumps than Girardoni's device!
@@twistedyogert They do. The pump is functional, but rather there for the authenticity. The air tanks are also spawnlockable, so you'll never actually have to pump. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Open the magazine tube next to the barrel by trigger-clicking the lid. 2. Fill it to the brim with balls, and close the lid again (so they don't fall out again). 3. Tilt the gun so that the stock/airtank points to the ground (a little bit is enough), and press the thumb-pad to the left (on the Index controller at least). The metal block on the breach should shift towards the magazine, and a ball should fall into it (that's why you need to tilt it). 3. Release the pad, and press it again, but this time down, to cock the hammer. The gun is ready to fire. 4. After several shots, you'll easily notice the gun losing power until the projectile more or less just drops out of the muzzle. That means the air tank is empty. So, grab the back of the tank, and thread it off. 5. If you have a full spare tank, move it to the back of the gun until it snaps to it with this satisfying *gloonk* sound (pure ASMR for me), and thoroughly thread it on. While you're at it, maybe give the magazine a refill. 6. If you don't have a spare, but at least the pump, put it to the metal part of the tank and thread it on. Grab the tank with one hand and the very end of the pump, and have fun pumping - because you will need 1500 pumps to fill the thing. 7. If you have neither.... well, you can still use the gun as a fancy club I guess.
I honestly found his comments annoying, was basically just creative begging for a feature Maybe I should start doing it too so a gun I want will be added to the game?
@@mysticprophecy5395never cared if it was added kinda insane it was. I enjoy spending my Friday watching the new devlog and seeing the changes to the game I love. And it gave me a reason to pop in
@@mysticprophecy5395If you were persistent enough to ask for a gun every Friday for three years within an hour of each devlog dropping then yes, you would deserve a gun too. Instead you're whining on Christmas that someone else got a present they've been asking for for a long time, Merry Christmas stop being a grouch
Fun fact: when I was opening my gifts I had accidentally spawned in hostile sosigs which blew up and messed up a few of the unopened presents. So when I got to the C7A1 the rifles and scopes were still there, but the magazines were gone. Which I thought was a reference to the fact that last year you added the magazine but not the rifle. So I briefly thought that you finally added the C7A1, but not the magazine, making the rifle useless anyways. But that ended up not being the case, was very funny when I opened the box, though.
Pump-action rifles are pretty neat, fun fact; Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated using a Remington 760 Gamemaster pump-action rifle, chambered in .30-06 Springfield. Okay, not very fun, but it's true
For the Vertigo 2 gun, Anton forgot to mention that if you are a left hand shooter, the reticle changes side to make sure you won't have to reverse Owen it.
Thank you for a very wonderful meatmas anton!!! What a WONDERFUL array of gifts we have this year. You’ve worked very hard and now you deserve a good rest. Aaron finally got his wish after so long. It’s the start of a new era for him. You know what else was the start of a new era? The Lebel Model 1886 rifle.
That air rifle is so cool, love to see obscure historical guns like the Girandoni being implemented into games. Pneumatic’s especially are lacking in media representation, Metro is the only series I can remember that has them as a mainstay
I look forward to watching another "Expert Reacts" video with some of these weapons. I'm sure Jonathan will pull a real or incredibly close version out of some dark corner of the archives to share with us weird gun nerds.
Thank you Anton, and all the artists and modellers behind bringing fun toys to us all. Suddenly wonder how Zach Hazard would react to the games library of curated fun things to play with.
@@rester97 a-z gun rants long stream, at least until he hits the klashniluger I'd imagine. Though I'm not up on everything, O doubt someone tapped Zach and say "hey try h3!" At some point
I haven't watched the devlog yet. I just finished opening up my presents and felt especially emotional. I just want to say: Thank you so much, Anton. I know it's a dumb VR game, but it's my favorite. I legitimately get excited on a comparable level to ACTUAL Christmas for Meatmas. My wife even talks about how much I love it. The devotion that you have had to this project and the amount of love that you've poured into this can not be overstated. I literally gasped at over half of the gifts under the tree. This is probably the best Meatmas yet. Sorry if it's kind of rambling, but I truly love the work you do, and just want to say that we love you, Anton. CONGRATUALATIONS AARON!
Those ithacas are my favorite, i would love to get a mossberg cruiser, or a shockwave, or a pack of mossbergs even, but that little silver ithaca is now my main go-to shotgun for this game. Its as close to my irl shotgun as i can get! ^v^
Merry Meatmas Anton! The quest 2 was marked down and I was finally able to get a VR system. I picked H3VR as my first game to dip my feet into VR, loving it so far. Can't wait for what's in store for the game in 2024.
ANTON WHY WHY MY MAN the Ithaca shorty. Is litterally called the STEAK OUT it’s the exact configuration you put in that’s the perfect reference to meat and the shotgun
What's funny is that I recognized the Smith 41, not for anything from real life but "hey, that's the gun that Edgeworth is framed with in the first Ace Attorney game!"
Merry Meatmas, everyone! Thank you, Anton, for making the best VR game and continuing to update it. H3VR is one of the few games that are worth more than it's selling for. Sadly, my headset died last night, so I won't be able to play the update for some time, but I hope everyone enjoys the new toys.
I'm a huge fan of both H3VR and Vertigo 2 (100+ hours in both) and first, seeing the sosigs in V2 blew my mind since I had played H3 a bunch before it. Now, opening my literal last present and seeing a gun from possibly my favorite VR game of all time was INSANE. You and Zach are probably my favorite VR devs (that are active, (looking at you SLZ)) Happy holidays, merry meatmas and happy new year for y'all!
nicely done Anton and happy meatmas ps. could you add the colt phyton the six inch one with black sights some time in the futer but take a rest you deserve it
I'm not on the discord so I'm quite grateful for this video. I managed to figure out how the Vertigo 2 weapon worked, but that flintlock... thing in the final present, I had no idea what to do with that
Another wonderful Meatmas! Many thanks to you and everyone involved in bringing this together for yet another year, it's been a joy to share opening the weird and obscure and interesting things you always add with the other gamers in the house.
Very merry meatmas, Anton! It was absolutely amazing getting to open these myself this morning. I'm so glad to finally be playing this game. Thank you for all the time, work and dedication you and the rest of the team put into this game!
Anton you are wonderful. You've outdone yourself again for those of us who like weird stuff. The C7 was a heartwarming addition if there ever was one. Merry Christmas to you and the team.
Awesome game. Thanks for the Meatmas guns and been re-watching Robocop recently in 4K. Just found out the Auto 9 is in Meatmas 2020, which I wasn't aware of. Happy New Year and you rule!
The cartridges in the chamber on the Classic and Heavy SW 41 were 90 degrees for me, like you could see the bullet and back of the casing on either side of the gun, but I didn't see it in your video so it may have been some random corruption or bug on my side. Merry Meatmas Anton!
The second I saw the C7s, I instantly thought of Aaron always talking about those rifles. The joke paid off and everything is right in the world of H3VR
As someone who doesn't even have VR and doesn't expect to be able to play this amazing game for a while, I still greatly look forward to every Meatmas update video to see all the cool toys that get added. Amazing update Anton, it's been amazing to see H3VR evolve from such humble beginnings, happy holidays!
When I was opening the meatmas presents, i had pulled the pin on the holy meat grenade by accident instead of the top of the box, and I wondered what kind of sight this was, once I opened the box and saw it was a holy horseshoe grenade I immediately panic tossed it, one of my most hilarious moments in this game.
Really fun to experience one of these for the first time and what a blast to the past it was to see the P11 and be reminded of the stealth mission from 007 nightfire
my Oculus died earlier this year so i stopped keeping tabs on H3, but when i saw this in my recommended i couldnt help but stop to see if aaron's wish came true. Merry Meatmas!
Just opened all these guns yesterday, which was my very first Meatmas! (And very first experience in H3) Loving the game, loving Institution, and I can say for certain, this is my new favourite VR game!
Wow…the Panzerfaust is definitely German based purely on that reticle. Would be neat if you could work with a museum or something to implement a never before seen (or maybe just in video games) firearm. Like, the Royal Armouries…mostly because I just think they are pretty cool. Though, I do not actually play the game as I do not own a VR headset so I just enjoy the devlogs.
Meatmas was certainly well done this year, thank you Anton! Now just wait for the influx of people begging for guns... (ASM-DT amphibious rifle please!) :P
Honeslty, apart from seeing the good ol' Ithaca finally in, it was a plesant suprise to see the P11 the most! I remember playing 007: Nightfire growing up and of course at the time thought it was a unique spy gun from it's looks and function, and only years later did I find out it actually existed irl lol. Cause of the use of it in that game tho and if it'd be possible to program in...maybe give it support to shoot different types of darts (aka sleep or stun darts) for games like Take and Hold? Would be a fun backup for any more stealth-focused playstyles if that's ever a possible run type.
