When you can take a 50. Cal to the chest and live But die from a knife to the foot...

When removing the stock of a gun is considered an attachment.

If a shotgun doesn't have the barrel sawed-off, then its range is great

5:50 I found out that the amount of bullets you have in your bulletbelt in red dead redemption 2, actually depends on the amount of bullets you own. I love this feature

You forgot to mention that most video game characters can carry an RPG in their pocket

Bad Guys: infinite ammo Good Guys: Limited Ammo Yeah That's Fair

The problem with shotguns is that in reality, it all depends on the ammo and barrel length. Buckshot in a short barrel isn’t great at range because it spreads a lot, but slugs through a long barrel can essentially become a 50 cal rifle

Me: *aims down the sights* Shotgun: *magically converts to slug rounds*

Shooting an npc in a stealth game and hearing bystanders say: "must've been the wind"

Game : *being a game* People : it's unrealistic lmao why can't it be more realistic? Game : being very realistic People : It's too hard! I can't play it like this, it just sucks!

Ya know what my roommate and I would always laugh at, is in Battlefield, how a single swipe of the combat knife can take out a whole section of chain link fencing.

I've always assumed the thing about "leveling up" a gun had more to do with your player becoming a more precise shooter at higher levels. Like not that that the gun itself is more powerful but your shots are more likely to hit vital organs or whatever...may be bullshit but it works for me

I can't beileve they didn't talk about the bad guys never running out of ammo. Like in the last of us supplies are rare and resources are low but the enemy can shoot at you for 20 minutes straight and NEVER RUN OUT OF AMMO

When you put a silencer on a gun but it reduces damage

I remember in highschool playing metal gear solid and everyone hyped up how realistic it was. Then I joined the army afterwards and learned the fired round doesn't always hit where the cross hair is aimed. And that due to the bullistics you have to compensate due to distance and wind direction. MGS was still a good game but realistic my arse.

Also when you reload in a game, you don't throw away what was left in the previous magazine. Instead you still have all the bullets that haven't been fired

Not about Guns But Player: *get shot in the head* Also player: *wraps bandages on the arm*

Gets hit in leg... Wraps bandage around arm... "Ok we good now"

Crysis 3 did a cool thing with the predator bow. It is mentioned in the first mission and I only caught it on repeat playthroughs but the predator bow is so powerful because it is linked to the nanites in your suit. It's cool to have an actual reason the bow is such a killing machine.

When it comes to bows, I feel obliged to point out that the reason they aren't used in combat isn't due to its capabilities in killing things, which is still impressive by modern standards, but in training times needed to make them even remotely useful. It can take years to learn how to use a strong enough bow to punch through thin layers of steel, let alone train your body to manage such feats, and while most ballistic armors use materials that are a joke for bows to punch through the training needed to make them useful is still up there. At the same time, an army instructor can teach a recruit how to shoot, reload, and maintain between two and three different weapons while running them through basic training, which takes months at the most, and can still ruin people's days despite the armor that's used today.

"You ever notice that mounted guns are always unlimited ammo" Me: *Cries in Tachanka*

When you can't shoot someone through a wooden fence.

I remember the Zombi U mounted gun, and the panic of having to reload, and then back off because the zombies got too close to reload. Now THAT was a game where, when you DID get to use the guns and their limited ammo, it was an adrenaline rush, not a power trip.

3:39 A concept many don't know, these type guns have to change barrels when they start to overheat. It also amused me in a WWII game that machine guns never had their barrels changed during combat. You simply continued to fire them over and over again. That wasn't the case.

Character: Is on a stealth mission. Also Character: Yells RELOADING every time it empties a mag.

silencers? ingame: less range, less damage, less accuracy, zero noise. reallife: longer barrel = more range, more accuracy, slightly less loud...

I would love a sniping game where you could zoom in on a conversation and either get subtitles or have your character repeat out loud to himself what they’re saying by reading lips.

"Sniper" shotguns actually exist. Rifled barrel and sabot slugs.

When your grenade launcher only launches grenades the distance you can throw them...

Being in the military, you will quickly realize that the most unrealisitic part of any game isnt the guns, isnt the tactics , isnt the vehicles... Its the characters ability to run up hills. two steps in full battle rattle and you're toasted on a hill.

Whenever I have unlimited ammo, I go crazy about killing everything & destroying everything

Of course the classic: Silencers that make a gun weaker (Lower damage and less range) While it's the complete opposite in real life. I understand it is for balancing reasons because other players won't see you on the map but still...

Not to mention that when you reload the bullets get automatically added from one mag to another.

When you snap someone's neck 3 times in a single round of mortal combat and they are still in perfect shape

About Bow and Arrow: If you choose the right Tip (eg. a good sharb bladed hunting tip) It can cause more gruesome wounds than most handgun or even some assault rifle bullets do. Also, most modern Armor (especially kavlar wests) is designed to stop blunt objects (like a bullet often is) - and will be easily cut by a bladed arrowtip. So yes: There are in fact situations where a good Hunting b´Bow will definitively kick someones butt better than a 9mm.

I think the best thing about shotguns is the fact that They are just modern blunderbuss'. You can put just about anything in a shot gun shell and shoot it. Blunderbuss' you could make lead balls for, but were mostly filled with anything they could cram down the barrel. Silverware, coins, your child's toys, just whatever the hell you easily and readily had access to in the heat of the moment. Had to be somewhat terrifying. For both individuals at either end of the gun though lol.

Reloading a half fired magazine and then having the character rack the chamber again, even though there’s already one in the chamber.

Me getting shot in-game: im fine Me getting shot in a cutscene: AhHhHhHh

Remember that game "Crusader - No Remorse or No Regret". there was a closed door and you have no key but you have a grenade/rocketlauncher or grenade. there was no door anymore but a lot of enemys. so you open the door silently, so no enemy comes around but wheres the fun?

I love how in some games you can shoot them with a pistol at point blank range, but it does the same amount of damage if you shot from farther away. Like, I blew their brains out. How can they still shoot me?

When you reload halfway through a magazine the extra bullets magically sort themselves into fresh magazines

Literally the fact that you can still hear just fine after firing in a game, with any gun.

You forgot to mention when the character carries to rifles with 10 magazines for each And the reloading, you shoot 3 bullets reload and you alwayse end up with 30 bullets magazine when you reload (and often you dump the mag which is still half full but still in your gear)

Another thing you forgot about is how when you get shot in game, it takes away health, rather than killing you with one shot.

When you you’ve got 30 rounds in your mag with 180 on you, you shoot one, reload and the character throws the mag away - your total bullets are somehow 179 instead of 150

Division 2, high level enemy wearing a baseball hat survives a 50 cal to the head.

How shotguns work IRL: Depending on barrel length, it starts out as a massive bullet (it's essentially a shotgun slug when it leaves the barrel). As the plastic pellet-containing part (the "wad") leaves the barrel, it's holding all the pellets in a tight package that at those speeds acts much like a single, solid projectile. As the super-sonic air friction pulls the plastic free from the pellets, the pellets begin to separate, this occurs at different distances depending on the length of the barrel, but I'd say a sawed off would have this happen around 2-3m from the barrel, where as a long hunting shotgun barrel would have this happen at about 7-9m. After that, the pellets spread depending on the type of ammo (we'll just assume standard 00 instead of like #7 bird shot, of course). But at about 12m, it should have a pattern the size of a watermelon. At 15m, the size of a 1970's trash can lid (the type of trash can Grouch lived in on the TV show Sesame Street). 20m, it should spray a pattern about the size of a car door. At 25m, it shouldn't be terribly effective. That means if you're playing a game like CS:GO and if it had realistic shotgun behavior, the Benelli Nova shotgun should essentially fire a single instakill projectile with pinpoint accuracy about the distance of De_Dust's "Long Doors" area to the right of the Terrorist's spawn location in the game. (Instead of the massive car-door sized pattern we get in-game.)

When you shoot a revolver in some games and hear a shell hit the ground.

Shotguns in video games: “I can only give someone a paper cut” Shotguns in real life: *more range than an assault rifle*

The fact they showed a clip of one of my favorite original Xbox games, Black, and GTA 4. Has just made me a permanent subscriber.

when you aim down sights with your shotgun to magically tighten the spread of the pellets...

Pet peeves I dont think you mentioned: When the characters hold the default gun in the cutscene rather than the one you actually have. When the weapons in cutscene do FAR more damage/realistic damage than during actual gameplay, or the characters suddenly have shit accuracy shooting at something getting away.

Bows actually hit with more force at the tip, than most common ammo types. So, that isn't too unrealistic. An arrow head comes to a fine razor point, on a projectile that weighs 450 grains, being shot at 210 mph, is a shit ton of joules on target. Enough to pierce certain types of modern body armor. (Not deeply, but still)

This has major “you know what really grinds my gears?” energy lmaoooo

The scoped shotgun is actually correct. You can fire a slug accurately beyond 100 yards.

When a sniper is scoped in in games, it’s pinpoint accurate, but when it’s hip fired, it shoots literally anywhere except straight

0:56 wow, sounds like those game designers actually tried depicting a shotgun's effective range accurately.

Gameranx: Complaining about gun logic Destiny 2: *sweating*

“Here I’ll close my eyes so I can’t hear you” “Dude that’s not how hearing works” “What?” “I said dude that’s not how hearing works” “What?”

When you sneak around an bad guy but you have to reload and your character yells COVER ME I’M RELOADING but the dude doesn’t hear you

When your talking to a npc about something top secret and your standing in a middle of a crowd where every one can wear you

When guns have sights on them but you can’t use them, instead you hip fire the whole time, even if the character supposedly has training and years of experience, and any “aim down sight” mechanic is still just hipfire but zoomed in a little bit

The arrows in Skyrim... your foes/prey walking around with an arrow in their head and saying to their companion, did you hear something?

When melee weapons can dish out more damage than guns.

The whole how are you actually holding the gun in a FPS game is especially funny when you consider all those scapegoat arguments that those types of video games are MURDER SIMULATORs when how you hold a gun in-game isn't even accurate to reality.

7 foot tall walking tank in sealed power armor: *steps on first-aid kit* Also him: “I feel better now”

I've always hated the fact that most video game shotguns are only effective within sneeze distance. Then when a game makes the a little more realistic, everyone cries that they're OP. Grr.

Love it when you slap a silencer on literally anything and suddnely your high powered sniper rifle becomes an airsoft gun and won't alert anyone if they sat on your face. But IRL it would just make you slightly less deaf. They'll still hear you from literally miles away.

I love when you say "Does one game actually have perfect gun physics" you have arma playing in the background as if to say duh Arma does

3:11 Little does he know that the sandbags, in reality, are full of ammo.

Shoot someone in a video game: * get points * Shoot someone irl: **go to jail** like wtf amirite

When you run out of ammo on a belt-fed gun but there’s still bullets hanging out

Right When I saw this video in my recommended, the first and only thing going through my mind was solid snake saying "infinite ammo"

HAHAHAHA That mockery of Leifeld's Cap art was hilarious and on point.

*launches americas entire nuclear arsenal at a door* Door: "Yeah how about no thanks, come back with a bobby pin."

Most games: shotgun pellets dissapear after a small distance TF2: *laughs in hitscan*

My favorite game with gun physics that make no sense is Valkyria Chronicles. If you shoot someone in the head with a sniper rifle while they are standing, they will immediately die. If you shoot someone in the head with a sniper rifle while they are crouching, they will lose somewhere around 30-40 percent of their health.

2 of my favorite weird game gun concepts are games where your gun is either planted in a wall, but since the bullet doesnt actually come from the gun you can still hit the enemy over or around the wall cause the curser is on them, or when a bullet does come from the gun, but it curves to hit the person who is to the side of it, even if it cant shoot around walls

Logic in csgo: Ak47 damage: 45% Knife damage: 100%

The fact that a lot of normal human characters can walk or run around with mini guns

I like how he doesn't completely trash on the games and tries to see from their perspective why they would do it

Shotguns in videogames are basically just knives that do less damage somehow.

Farcry: shotguns have very short range Call of duty: Snipes somebody across the map with a shotgun Halo:.shotguns are melee weapons because nobody won't get out of your face

Replacing a whole magazine to reload a single bullet

When the same gun sounds different in every other game

Most games don't specify but there are various types of shotgun shells that do various different things

Plot Twist: They couldn’t figure out how to make a reload animation for mounted guns.

shotgun without suppressor in game: BOOM shotgun with suppressor in game: pew

While yes, most games give shotguns an obscene misunderstood and horribly wrong mechanic system... Some people forget that they also at least TRY to implement a vital key difference. Ammunition There is a big difference between SLUGS, BUCKSHOT, and FLECHETE. Which you didn't mention or take into consideration. But yes, pretty much agree with the video.

Guns: "exist" Valve: let's make a game with no gun logic

a dumb one is when the semi automatic version of a gun has way more power then full auto version of the same gun

When you shoot at someone across a metal fence and a floating bullet hole appears...

You gonna talk about the mounted guns with unlimited bullets and not talk about Halo? The fact a mountain gun has unlimited ammo.... unless you rip it from the mount.. then suddenly it has limited ammo, and can't even be reloaded.

I like how they did absolutely no research on how a standard shotgun actually function. They just say “eh sometimes they do this and sometimes they do that.”

As a gun guy: The real problem with shotgun representation in video games boils down to how to balance them at the engagement ranges that you deal with in most video games (which are usually in the grand scheme pretty short range). Honestly an example like the new CoD shotgun isn't that unrealistic. You can have effective ranges like that or even more.... BUT in a game with such short engagement ranges it's unbalanced. Then in some games devs really overdo the shotgun spread to try to compensate for the close range fights and it ends up making shotguns useless. Shotguns are ridiculously effective at short or even mid range. That's kind of their whole point. They are designed to be optimal weapons under those circumstances.

when you only can hold your breath for two seconds while sniping.

When your an everyday person and can perfectly operate every weapon

The best part of the first red faction was when there was a locked door. I COULD go find the key, or i could just blow a me sized hole beside the door and walk around.
