have not watched the show but there could also be a case of the Turret been sabotaged. I remember a TV show where the hero is shot at by turrets. later we find out that there was a guy on the inside that hacked the turret so that they would miss, he could not make them not fire because that would raise suspicion but sabotaging them so that they miss all the shot.. oh sorry sir but it looks like someone did not recalibrate the optic after they changed the bit like I told them to do, so it would just start to fire and miss and then try to compensate but the whole thing was just plainly set up wrong so the compensation system flips out because the sensor module was installed the wrong way again because grunts can´t appertly read the big sticker whit the word this side up. end result 1 random grunt got yelled at. the saboteur dodged acusasion of sabotage. and a base commander facepalmed over the competence of the men under his command.

The whole scene is absolutely full of continuity errors and goofs, even for a show that's notably sloppy. He goes to load the rifle, but he never even fires it on screen. He's using the revolver again in the next shot. The Brotherhood of Steel character literally flies into town with jet thrusters later in the scene, then Goggins comments mid-fight on how he can't get up a smashed up wooden rickety staircase, as if he hadn't just seen the guy literally airborne moments before. It's an entertaining show, but it has an absurd level of bizarre and distracting gaffes in it.

He first goes to the hammer to load it like a falling block lever, but there's no spot for it so then he goes to the loading gate, but it doesn't actually fit there, and then it looks like he's going to try and fit it underneath like a shotgun. It looks like he knows his way around guns enough to try and figure out the loading, but the prop bullet just doesn't fit anywhere.

Wanted Dead Or Alive has its main character, Josh Randall, carrying around a .30-30 Mare's Leg with .45-70 rounds in the holster's belt loops because the producer thought it looked more impressive. My theory for the Filly gunfight is that the Ghoul's rifle and revolver are chambered differently, and between being stuck in a coffin for a very long time, being on a massive amount of drugs including the tranquilizer dart, and having just been shot with actual bullets, he was addled enough to forget that and tried to shove one of the revolver rounds in the rifle.

RIGHT? Like why did they give NONE of the brotherhood energy weapons? This is, like, the thing they are known for. That an power armor + minigun which was also absent. I do like they went with fallout 4 power armor, it is far more intimidating than the pre-F04 power armor that was somehow the same size as normal armor. F04 did many things wrong but the re-design of power armor was not one of them (how fast they drain what is supposed to be an energy source that lasts hundreds of years and the armor being paradoxically the only armor with durability being the not so great changes that mods thankfully removed).

I mean, Coop/The Ghoul was hella hopped up on chems and had been shot a couple times by the time he was fiddling with the mare's leg. Also, as a writer and film/tv/game nerd, what I love the most about the show was how little "tell" the show does about everything. Any chance they have to "show don't tell", they take it. And anytime they do engage in some telling, they do it really naturally, like with Maximus just being a dork geeking out about power armour. Like, you know a team of lesser writers would have been too tempted to drop in a line or two of dialogue explaining the junk jet or stimpacks when they first appear. Instead it just really shows respect to the audience that, if they haven't played the games, they actually have a brain and can work it out on their own. Bravo writers.

Walton Goggins is from Alabama, his bio says Birmingham, Alabama, but realistically, given the demographics of the area, he probably grew up in the rural areas around Birmingham. For a guy from that area, from that culture, there is a very high likelihood that he grew up target shooting and hunting, with things like Winchester rifles, so when he pulls the round out, and moves it to the loading port, and you see that look on his face, there seems like there is a legitimate moment of "wait these do not match up."

@lemmingrad 29 күн бұрын

Reminds me reading an movie armorer writing about his job, one of the things he does is when the actor is required to remove a bullet from a belt, the belt is loaded with the wrong sized ammo for the prop gun, so that there isn’t a way an actor can accidentally load it without the armorer knowing it (as it will get jammed if forced in and thus needs to be given back to the armorer to unjam.)

my headcanon for the magazine fed revolver : the propellant and primer mechanism is inside the cylinder, like a metal storm weapon without the bullets the bullets are inside the magazine the bullets in the magazine are propelled by an amount of the propellant in the cylinder the cylinder has to be replaced/refilled every 12 magazines or so basically its a gun where you can store all of the gunpowder/alternate wasteland equivalent propellant inside the gun, meaning carrying around ammunition becomes alot easier with 1/3rd size mags with only bullets and no casings, no need for ejection (which is clear since we dont see any ejection from what is supposedly a magazine fed gun) just means your gun is limited to 12 magazines worth of fire before you need to refill the propellant which would make sense since its a backup weapon for the squire (the backup) they dont really need a permanent solution to enemies, just enough to give their knight some cover

1:17 easy explanation is that despite it being the 21st century in the fallout universe, the alternative timeline futuristic 1950s setting stops progressing in 2077 on account of the bombs dropping. So unless the vaults had specific weapon R&D facilities in them, the weapons in the armories would be those of 2077 vintage, just kept running for 200 years. The Sterling definitely fits the alternative 1950s vibe.

My personal headcanon for why the Sterling SMG appears so far in the future is because it's not only easy to maintain but it's relatively easy to build with limited resources. So in this neck of the woods it might be one of the few things they're actually manufacturing from scratch rather than salvaging from the wasteland. And really all it would've taken is someone coming across the schematics for one or a smart vault dweller to take one apart and figure out how it works for them to then start building it themselves

it is so nice to hear someone who knows what they are talking about in the real world commenting on what is basically Fantasy weapons as though viable instead of "basement experts" who learned all they know about weapons from Call of Duty and other such video games. I do need to mention though it is touched on with the Norwegian Mag Revolver 10:49. I would assume since this real world pistol uses cased ammo, for the Fallout 10mm dual mechanism the ammo would be caseless, which we do have in the world (though not not sure how well they work in the real world) in Fallout it is all Fantasy/Sci-Fi so honestly Reality does not have to apply 100% like so many KZfaqrs with holier than though opinions looking for any excuse to criticize Bethesda seem to think. I have to say this video is quality and as a long time fan I must say thank you for this. I am well versed on UK and US weapons, as well others such as Canada, Australia etc, and others, but not even close to being as well versed as Mr Ferguson clearly is and I love that he has in a very short part of the video proven me right about the Fallout Assault Rifle, I had a friend who argued with me that this was not a real weapon and never could be, but clearly it could with the large "barrel" being as Mr Ferguson said, I cannot tell my friend I told you so though as he died over a year ago.

To me F4's "assault rifle" which was renamed from MG during development because AK wasn't ready, which has .50 in text on supressor(and the fact that it has suppressor in the first place) and which was mentioned to be designed specifically to look good in hands of power armor troopers, it looks like combination of MG-131 and ASh-12 to me. From purpose standpoint, I mean. Basically it's an attempt to get lighter .50 HMG that pays in decreased velocity for its weight and dimensions. Absolutely destructive at short range, needs help of HE or APCR shells at longer ranges, can be silenced due to being subsonic by default. Likely a .50 bullet forced into case length of .308 or even .223, the latter matching irl .50 Beowulf AND Fallout New Vegas park ranger rifle aka Survivalist Rifle used by Randall Clark in Zeon!

And let me be very clear about this: the Tunnel Snakes do rule (checkout their music video).
