Day 48 of asking for Holdfast: Nations At War
Kind of hilarious that a Brit is doing this when you guys can't even carry a pocket knife or own a hammer 🤣
I need a "Pausing" shirt with Jonathan's mug on it. I'd buy that as long as part of sale went to Royal Armouries.
So sad that I can never really watch Loadout, but after all these videos my headcanon dictates that Jonathan only exists in 480p – and I wont have it any other way.
That intro makes Johnathan look like a madman
6:44 Jakobs style.
15:29 Jakobs style on a Torgue weapon concept (gyrojets).
22:54 Maliwan-style holographic sight.
22:56 McMillan Tilt (not to be confused with a "Wick Tilt")
23:49 Feeding from the front of the mag is like a Calico.
24:19 Borderlands 3-era Atlas mimicking Zorg tech.
Happy holidays, Jonathan, Dave and Gamespot!
Now now the gyrojet worked! The ammunition was an utter failure as it destabilized almost immediately after leaving the weapon. If they could have made one that could hit the broad side of a barn it would have been super successful. Watching videos of it (the real ones like you are holding) are fun in a pathetic sort of way.
This is Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history. And on today's episode, we're taking a journey down memory lane to check out some of Jonathan's favorite weapons from 2022.
20:08 someone in my platoon intentionally shot himself in the head with a 40mm flare from a M203. His jaw had to be wired shut and he lost sight in one eye, but he walked onto the medevac bird. No idea if an HE round would have been much different.
Y'know, this time of year is actually really hard for me; a lot of different factors synergise to really push on my depression issues. But – watching Jonathan have fun here is infectious. I've seen all the videos these clips came from, but stringing them all together and ending with his joy with Skippy has improved my mood a *lot*. Thanks to everyone involved!
I need him to look a the stallion rifle from halo and the titan fall 2 guns
Even though this is a clip episode, I'll still make it the 15th consecutive week of asking for an episode on Bullet Girls Phantasia.
The game High on Life, please, it would be short but fun.
high on life weapon please
I’d love to see Johnathan react to the weapons of the Resistance series, they’re all wonderfully wacky alt history and sci-fi alien,
Can we get a live Q&A with Jonathan at some point in 2023?
Does JF know the EM2 recently got added cod mobile?
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas to you all
There is nothing special about realistic grenade launchers in the games. How about a better version of it – M92 Grenade Launcher from Aliens vs Predator 2 (2001)?
While maybe not giving as much visually, I would still love to see Jonathan cover the weapons from Brigador. You get some marvelously detailed descriptions and even though there are some pretty "out there" scifi stuff, there are a number of real-world weapons that show up as well, such as the Browning M2, GAU-8 Avenger, MG42, etc…
Thanks for the video, I hope see a video of his less favorite weapons.
Jonathan, is your back okay? You've had this channel up there for quite some time..
Jonathan could make a video of him doing his taxes and make it interesting
Was a great year, cant wait to see what other kinds of wacky guns we'd see Jonathan analysing
GOD content, thank you for the seriess!!
Seeing this and being reminded of Killing Floor 2, we definitely need more footage of it.
Especially showcasing the difference between standard reloads and Perk reloads, as they are what the game refers to as "tactical reloads", which are quicker(Definitely best shown in Zed Time).
Stuff like the HZ12(double-barreled pump-action shotgun), Jonathan's favorite rifle the Mkb.42, and showcasing the mainline Medic guns, how they are all based on the same chassis.
And why not the MGL as well, to compare to Tarkov's depiction?
There's a yt channel called i did a thing that built a hammer that uses bullets to drive a nail through just about anything, it's kinda similiar to the sledge in that game.
I still need an emotional support stg 44!
MERRY CHRISTMASS TO EVERYONE !!!!!!!!
Is John tired? Because he’s carrying this channel
Hope everyone at the chanel and all its supporters has a great Christmas. More fun to be had next year.
A few things for next year I’d like to see:
Get The Jonathan to play VR games so he can understand why VR weapons work the way they do. His commentary is useful because he’s played video games and understands the need for balance. Getting him to feel how awkward it is to use two handed weapons in VR and see why so many games “suction” the magazine in I think would make his commentary better.
I’d also like to see him review the guns of Half-Life, especially the guns of Alyx, as you get some really weird/unique expanded magazine upgrades in that game.
I’d also like to see him review Depth. Underwater combat isn’t something he talks about often, but seeing the unique weapons in there would be a nice change of pace from the same AR and AK over and over again.
19:35 its a shotgun round
ok
Favourite. We are not Americans.
If it wasn't for Jonathan I would NEVER watch this channel,your lucky.
“Premature discharge. This never happens.” Sad but also hilarious.
Will there be a cursed version? 😄
I love that Killing Floor 2 made the list!
This is Jonathan Ferguson, the guy that is carrying our channel
I’m excited to see his reaction to some of the added weapons to Hunt, including his own suggestion the iron side Martini-Henry
We need to see Jonathan react to DayZ guns.
