I can't wait for the future when Jonathan is doing one of these and the game has a plasma pistol and all of a sudden, he pulls out an actual plasma pistol.

"This Johnathan Ferguson and he's the reason people are still subscribed to our KZfaq channel"

I'm surprise that he didn't talk about the hunting rifle. Using a .32 handgun ammo

AK's actually exist, in Fallout 1 and 2 the assault rifle is Called in the description ''AK-112'' which was considered outdated by the great war

He's gonna have a seizure when looking at the Fallout4 Assault Rifle

Get Johnathan to reload a gun for one of these videos? 👀

What sets Jonathan apart in these “gun expert reacts” videos, is that he does seemingly know everything there is to know about firearms (unlike most “experts” in this type of video), AND he seems to be an expert on the game so that it has context (most “experts” in this type of video are unfamiliar with the game). I love the videos! Please keep making this content.

Just wanna say watching Jonathan's vids also helps with English learning since he pronounces every word very clearly and slowly

“Fallout does flirt with aliens” Mothership Zeta would like a word with you.

It's time for Far Cry 2 and its infamous jamming animations

19:40 The missile launcher does actually have guidance - the problem is that you have to use VATS for it to function, and even then you usually don't notice it unless the target is running around like a headless chicken.

I'd always imagined the railway rifle being invented by a Brit who made their way to the U.S. post war. Hints in the name since the British commonly use the term "railWAY" while in America they commonly use "railROAD". Steampunk weapons are inherently British/Victorian generally anyway.

Fun fact: Fallout 2 had a number of modern weapons such as the FN FAL, the XL70E3, and the P90. There was also future space age stuff like the G11

13:08 Alien blaster has been around since the very first Fallout, in Fallout 1 you found it in a random ecounter with a crashed UFO. On an akien skeleton you found this gun as well as an Elvis painting.

Surprised he didn’t bring up anything about the IRL Lincoln’s Repeater, gifted to Lincoln by Henry around 1860

I always get massive PIAT vibes from the Fatman. Propelling an explosive projectile by mechanical means, rather than chemical.

"This is Jonathan Ferguson and he's the only reason we can still keep the lights on."

Whould be cool to see him react to Payday 2 and/or Killing Floor 2

I would love to see a review of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's weaponry. The weapons can be seen in 3rd and 1st person view as well as the model viewer which offer a close look at the highly detailed & realistic models. It would be interesting to see what Jonathan thinks of them as there are a lot of guns that are a combination of existing firearms as well as a selection of more fantastical weapons. Thank You for your work!

Nobody has ever said I liked the Chinese pistol

I’d love to see Johnathan take a crack at some of the unique guns from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series

Arma 3? It's got a good mix of near future, concept weapons, and modern firearms.

"I don't know where the divergence is." You assume there's only one divergence point.

I love that he's wearing a Mouse Rat t-shirt :')

"This is Jonathan Ferguson-" *Yes. We know who you are.*

I want to see him react to Halo Weapons, specifically Halo Reach

Rock-it launcher seems like a good early game choice for someone who wants to specialize in big guns. You can make it early and you can actually get sufficient ammo for it. Sometimes you just want to be a heavy weapons guy.

Yo is there a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Episode yet? I watched the metro episode, and I thought it would be cool to make a stalker one if it has not been done yet

The 10mm SMG is an attempt at recreating the same weapon from Fallout 1/2, released in the 90's

With the Mouse Rat shirt on, I was expecting a song “talking about, games and guns, talking about, holding guns while talking about,games and guns”

Another fun video. I’m always happy to see these break downs

I like the historical gun knowledge together with him still seeing the necessity of the Rule Of Cool.

"This is Johnathan Ferguson. You know who he is, let's get to it"

I'd like him to review guns from MGS5 since there's so many guns you can use in that game 👀

I just saw you have 50 videos of Jonathan Ferguson. Very nice dude, gonna watch them all.^^

From my understanding the divergence occurred right after world war II and significantly impacted the creation of transistors among other things I believe towards the beginning of the Great war that led to fallout vacuum tubes barely became a thing and as well as the divergence being a thing there's evidence pointing that it goes further back even to Lincoln's era as there is a recording of Lincoln's voice. There is evidence of multiple divergent points in fallout universe making it more on par with a parallel universe with slight changes here and there rather than a completely different universe happening at one point

I always thought the reason they made the Railway Gun was to be a sort of play on words for a Rail Gun.

I'd still love to see him flip over Payday 2's semi-realistic guns modded to all hell-

I love how, when the Yao Guai saw what the Alien Blaster did to the Raider, it was like "Nope." 😆

Lovely vid. Reminds me a lot of Mikeburnfire. In gun rationalization. The 10MM is modeled off the Desert eagle with the blocky build and slide. All the brass casings ejected in fallout 3 are oversized

3:50 The 10mm SMG always gave me Skorpion vibes based on aesthetic at least

He should react to the weapons of the Bioshock series

Love these videos, thanks so much Gamespot and Jonathan!

Wonderful video. Thank you so much. However, I'm disappointed you didn't show us the museum's secret alien raygun collection :-)

I have the same shirt he's wearing! It's a mouserat shirt from Parks & Rec!

The timeline didn’t diverge so much as it diverge and crisscrossed with our own.

Infiltrator and perforator are my favorites. I would use Lincoln's repeater more if it had more common ammo.

I wonder if the combat shotgun could work if you thought of the magazine as being a device that feeds into what would effectively be the tube magazine beneath the barrel of your typical semi-auto shotgun. If you had a gas piston that served to cycle the drum as well as to ram cartridges into the under-barrel portion of the magazine and then also had the mainspring in the stock, it could theoretically work if the ejection port was a little larger and if there was a place for the bolt to go. It'd be a weapon that you'd probably have to clean/repair often, but that fits with how it is in the game.

Still hoping for a Halo centered video!

Can you guys check out the guns of "Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magicka" at some point? Would love your thoughts on the Victorian era guns in that game. It's a bit obscure, but Good Old Games has it!

This brought back so much Nostalgia from one-eyed stay up till 6 a.m. playing Fallout 3

Oh man, I loved that old Henry Repeater rifle, that was my favourite weapon ! 😁

9:00 Oh look! It's the Panic Attack, Jonathans favourite weapon!

I somehow knew what the reaction to the combat shotgun would be ahead of time.

The divergence is mostly based on the later development of transistors and a parallel path of atomic power/weapons. The closer you get to the point of that divergence (about just after WW2) the less noticeable the changes. Butterfly effect and such. The further forward you go, the more those various differences compound and snowball into further and further differences through different circumstances creating different chances/opportunities and thus moving along further divergent paths.

Love to see Jonathan‘s take on some of the Destiny franchise weapons; particularly the exotics like deadman’s tale and the last word!

I wish he'd react to "zachs gun rants" about fallout new Vegas modded weapons

Oh my god he’s wearing a Mouse Rat shirt! I have the same one. Gotta love some Parks and Rec.

Johnathan has gotten a lot better at being on camera. He was a little stilted when he started out, but now he's as much of a natural as Ian or Othias.

I was waiting for this!

Do Vermintide 1 and 2, a lot of renaissance style guns in there.

Reciever 2! Would be fun to see him react to how the gameplay is, specially malfunctions

Think a trip to the Royal armouries museum is in the books, I haven't been for a long time.

Based on the music selection within the franchise the divergence point is around 1959, Oxhorn made a video that discusses the divergence point in detail, worth a watch if you've any interest in the lore/timeline

I want to see a breakdown of UNSC weapons in halo

Would love to see Jonathan react to the guns of Killzone.

I just want a video on the mechanics and legitimacy of That Gun. Favorite weapon in any video game

Can we please get an episode about Fistful of Frags? I'm particularly curious if the reloading times are justified in how long they can be.

Do Far cry 2 next, The exploding and jamming gun animation will make the reaction interesting.

You can tell he actually plays the games and “does his homework” before making the video

Alien Blaster was featured in first two Fallouts. It always resembles style of 1950's kids toys, with names like: 'Space gun', 'Atomic disintegrator' or 'Atomic space gun'

Next video idea: Canibal reacts to Cannibals in Hollywood movies.

We need Johnathan to react to Borderlands guns.

I see AK5 Adam /Bertil, so mayby in near future we get a reaction to that in games.

I remember buying the Fallout Vegas guide boy and went around the waste land hunting down rare weapons. My favourite gun in that game was the magnum called Lucky...it used powerful ammo that was rare so I only took it out as a treat.

On note with his remarks on the "rock-it launcher," I actually saw a video of a guy who had basically engineered the "junk jet" from fo4 using a car air bag and a metal tube and dammit it actually worked!

I would love if Johnathan reacted to the weapons of the Stalker series. A lot of them are based on IRL weapons, but tweaked in design and names

Would love to see him talk about weapons from the Metal Gear series, Maybe MGS3 or even MGS5.

I always thought the rock-it launcher was a pneumatic thing. More like a spud gun than a blunderbuss.

I've really been wanting to make a working replica of the 10mm pistol from Fallout 4 for years now, and this video just re-sparked that desire in me... 😅

Would love to see him react to Half-Life weapons, especially the sci-fi ones

100% want a DOOM series weapon video. Looking at the over the top RPGS, badass big guns and crazy energy weapons would be a blast!

It probably worth pointing out that the MIRVed Fat Man launcher is not MIRVed but rather IST MRVed. MRVed missiles (simply standing for Multiple Reentry Vehicles) like the Polaris A3 or UR-100K simply scatter there multiple warheads in a pattern, hopefully bracketing a single target with multiple warheads. MIRVed missiles, like the Poseidon C3 or the Minuteman III have a 4th stage or Post-Boost Vehicle/Warhead Bus, essentially a small spacecraft, which carries the guidance system and warheads, and maneuvers and ejects said warheads one-by-one onto different independent trajectories, providing the ability to hit multiple targets with the same missile (depending on cross-range footprint, with Poseidon with a full load of 14 warheads having a range of 1800nm essentially zero cross-range footprint, a range of 2500nm at a cross-range footprint of 150nm with 12 warhead, or a range of 3000nm and cross-range footprint of 300nm with 6 warheads) and/or the ability to hit the same target from multiple directions at once. It should be noted that this capability was fairly revolutionary, enabling the inclusion of many "marginal" targets in SIOP which would previously have been untargeted due to lower warhead numbers and the inability of multiple-warhead missiles to hit multiple targets simultaneously.

The G11 canonically exists in the Fallout universe, so not everything after the 50's is necessarily different.

currently playing fallout 3 so perfect timing on the video!

Fallout 4 next Jonathan will have a fun reaction

13:05 The Alien Blaster shows up first in the original Fallout, and it is based on the Flash Gordon ray gun. It's usually the most powerful weapon in the game, with a finite supply of ammo

Love these movies from Johnathan. Keep it up!

I can't wait to see his reaction to Fallout 4's Laser Musket XD

I'd love to see Far Cry! Specifically 2 with the silly weapon jams

Maybe the rocketlaucher pivots open because it was designed with powerarmor in mind. I have the feeling being a hulking terminator with power jointed arms would somewhat limit your movement? So with the break open you don't have to throw the launcher around or turn it, you can have it rest on your shoulder and simply slide the rocket in comfortably on chest hight

Do you think Johnathan could react to the weapons from Resistance: Fall of Man?

Ah I always get happy when I see one of these videos

It would be awsome to see his reaction to the Halo weapons.

Would love to see Johnathan go over the guns from Fallout 4. Maybe even check out some of the modded in ones?

Even with the crazy stuff the happens in the Fallout universe I still wondered what magic had to happen inside for that Combat shotgun to actually function.

Has he reacted to the far cry 2 jammed/exploding gun animations? It’d be interesting what he has to say about that

hey, how about a video on the weapons in star wars republic commando?

Is there a video where Jonathan goes over any of the Metal Gear Solid games? Playing MGS1 on PlayStation was my first introduction to the study of firearms from an analytical point of view. I'd be interested his thoughts on the era of games in 1999, and all of the info about the weapons and game mechanic usage (Codec Calls with Nastasha, etc).

Great video , funny thing that on one of those clips a Rad scorpion took a direct hit from the rocket launcher and remained in one piece like if was hit by a bb gun , lol
