There is a bit of an explanation to the MG-42 barrel swap. DICE are well known to be fans of Forgotten Weapons, and when Ian had an MG-42 he demonstrated the quick change barrel feature right after shooting, so the barrel was hot. Ian used a spent casing to pull out the hot barrel to demonstrate how it is done.

I have to say, the paint job on that Arisaka looked _really_ nice. It looked like someone had actually hand-painted the rifle white with a delicate sakura pattern, and then used the gun a bit resulting in a wear pattern. It looks _real_ even if it may not be very _realistic_ to use an embellished rifle like this in combat. Pity about the mistake with the cycling animation, though.

If the sights were to be used with it, the lifted rear sight leaf could do that job. Although I understand that having to blindly predict the arc, learn it by feel or "walk" fire with several shots with grenade launchers is part of the typical balancing equation in arcadey games.

The LS M/26 was, on the one hand, spectacularly accurate, and as long as it was oiled and kept up, very reliable. On the other hand, it was heavy at 20 pounds unloaded, and ran a 20-round magazine(there was a later version that could take a 75-round drum but that was never used in Finland), and most importantly....had one hundred and eighty eight parts. It was a misery and a half to clean. The soldiers nicknamed it the "Assorted Mistakes", and much preferred captured Degtyarov DP-27.

The Lahti magazine design gives me 40k bolter vibes.

The Lahti almost looks like a gun from a comic or something. Almost looks like WH40k based the bolter off of it.

The Lahti-Saloranta L26 was a really finicky piece of Finnish firearms' history. L26 was really maintenance intensive and jammed easily without proper maintenance. The best meme/rumor was, that a commander came to a LMG/MG unit and saw, that they hadn't used the "correct method" to maintain the L26. He was 100% sure the gun wouldn't fire and asked one of the gunners to shoot him at the cold weather of -40°C. The officer soiled his pants as the L26 worked flawlessly, because it had been maintained properly and it had been oiled with linseed oil instead of regular gun oil, because linseed oil was a better choise during those cold scenarios. The gunner shot at a pine over the commanders head.

Petition to revisit Squad. They’ve added several new factions since the last video (USMC, Canadian army, Chinese army and marines, the Turkish army), in addition to re-working the infantry combat system, so it would be interesting to hear Jonathan’s take on that as well.

Has Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK ever reacted to the weapons, better yet, the upgrades in TABG (Totally Accurate Battle Grounds)? That thing's a fever dream

I can only speak as an former MG3 operator but, the barrel swap is not so easy. When the gun is canted to the left, it's very hard to get out with a casing. Therefore there are proper gloves issued with it. And it will NEVER be this smooth of a swap 😀

Love the content. Would also love to see the full rundown by Royal Armories of ALL the gear available to folks in Ready Or Not now that it is released. This includes the armor, and tactical equipment, as well as the guns. Think this would make a great string of vids that many from the Armories, including Jonathan could get involved in.

The Nambu Type 1 utilized a pnuematic chamber to help reduce the tension of the action, according to gunwiki. The barrel itself stayed in place, but the front section came back with the bolt and returned forward with a return spring. It caught my eye too, so i had to check it out. Get better soon Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK !!

Shame you didn't point out the mad-minute grip on the Lee-Enfield, it's a very interesting detail that many people missed.

Thank you Jonathan Ferguson (and everyone at GameSpot) for another entertaining and informative video. I wish the Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK a swift recovery from their cold/cough.

Thank you Jonathan. These videos have always been a sort of a safe space to me, where i can just stop thinking about things and watch something combining two things i really like. My girlfriend, the love of my life, broke up with me a few hours ago and I've not been having a fun time, but getting home and opening youtube to seeing this video, it's really helped. So I say it again, thank you Jonathan.

Johnathan, are you sick? If you are, i can hear it but it is nice from you that even tho you are not feeling well, you are making great videos for us!

Does Jonathan get a list of firearms that are in the video so he can go and get them out of storage BEFORE recording or does he watch it, run through the shelves, find the gun and then talk about it? I just have an image of him going "we have one of these, one moment" then disappearing among the shelves and reappearing with the gun 😅

Great video. I'd formally like to suggest you guys do a video reacting to the firearms in "Holdfast: Nations at War" next. I think it would be cool to learn about Napoleonic era weaponry!

I'd love to see Jonathan react to some more Hunt: Showdown. Some really neat additions have come to the game since the last time he reviewed it. Specifically the Vetterli "Cyclone", Martini-Henry Ironside (Side-Mounted Magazine), Drilling, and Derringer Pennyshot. I'd also love to see Jonathan react to the various Bulletgrubber reload animations in the game, as they are very cool.

Still hoping for that Valkyria Chronicles video. One of these days. Hopefully. Hope you get well soon, Jonathan.

That mg42 barrel change was definitely referenced to Ian's Forgotten Weapons video, where i think he may have just improvised using a spent casing and may have also accidentally burned himself a little bit as well lol

back in the day we used our standard issue leather gloves to change the barrel of our MG3 when overheating, you wouldnt feel any heat, but it takes longer than in the game with the MG42, for which I assume they wouldve had gloves also

I really hope that Jonathon Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the royal armories Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history makes a fast recovery 🫡

Thank you Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of the arms and artilery at the Royal Armory in the UK.

Hope Jonathan Ferguson has a speedy recover but here is the lad sick on day of recording and still did it, wonderful. Hope you're well mate!

Also our buddy sounds so sick. I'm in the same boat, get better soon!

So I have an example of a m28 tromboncino myself and you don’t need to depress the linkage. The pulling the trigger works fine.

If you ever do a part 4 of battlefield V, I’d like to see Johnathans take on the Johnson rifle and Bren gun.

Sick Jonathan is much more frank than usual it seems, and honestly I’m here for it

Here's an neat episode idea. How about having Jonathan answering viewer questions about game guns and such?

Johnathan wish you a speedy recovery brother

id like to see jonathan critique the guns of enlisted; its got a lot of the historical classics (the garand, the stg44, etc) but also a few of the less famous guns in it (the johnson m1941, the volkssturmgewehr, etc) so it would maybe make an interesting video.

Your attention to detail is great and I hope you’re doing well now, John.

Nice love the de lisle designed near me! Do Ground Branch when you get a chance, great game and weapon choice.

Pushing as always for you guys to have Jonathan cover Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and to cover the M8 and MRI Caseless specifically as well. I have been posting for you to do this in every video a year back now.

Jonathan should look at the guns of SAO Fatal Bullet and COD Advanced Warfare

wishing Jonathan Ferguson the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries musuem in the UK a speedy recovery. Always a good day when KZread's curator gets a GameSpot video up.

I’d love for Jonathan to look at Red Orchestra 2, that had the barrel change as well for the MG42.

Aww, i was kinda hoping for Jonathan Ferguson, The keeper of firearms and artillery at the royal armouries museum in the UK to discuss the fact that the Lee Enfield is held in a mad minute style, probably see his mind blown or just talk about it in terms of historical accuracy/interesting points, maybe something for the Royal Armouries channel?

The Lahti-Saloranta reminded me that it'd be interesting to hear Jonathan's comments on guns in Enlisted. Especially some of the weirder or rarer stuff like Japanese SMGs (also has a type 1 and type 2) and the semi-auto rifles like the Armaguerra.

If memory serves me right the late R Lee Ermy did a show that showed the mg42 barrel being changed and they did use a spent cartridge in order to remove the barrel. Scratch that I've just saw another video that says it's a mix of what germans actually did and also a nod to forgotten weapons host ian

Near the end of Sino-Japanese war, a bunch of Type-2s were captured in the Northeast China and the local government built a .45 ACP version of it. The total number of the .45 variant is unknown, but you can literally see at least one sample in any mainland museum that has a civil war exhibit and they are always simply labeled as '.45 SMG'. There are even multiple guns that were converted to blank-fire only and you can occasionally see them in some TV shows.

I think Jonathan would like how enlisted depicted some firearms also how they do mounting Example if you mount on a sketchy fence it’s not gonna be as good at damping recoil then a floor or a window also they got most things correct and have lack of site modifications

When Jonathan is talking about the symbol on the back of the Arisaka, it reminds me, my great aunt has one that was captured during WW2, and it still has the symbol.

Would be interesting to see him cover the "Gold Order" weapons from Enlisted, because almost all of them are uniquely different from the tech tree guns, usually obscure in general or prototypes

I like how every time we seem him, Jonathan's always in a different location in the armory.

I do hope they would show the base version of the gun first, to show what attention or not the dev´s paid in making it. Feels a bit sad when a gun is being questioned on cosmetics or a sight that are not the baseline, showing the different options is fine of course and can lead to interesting notes or discussions but i do think showing the standard version first would be nice.

Agree, Nonathan Ferguson is being trolled with the non-standard cosmetics

On the point about floating bi-pods, that was one detail the old Half-Life mod Day of Defeat did well, machine guns were horribly inaccurate when standing but if you went prone or crouched behind sandbags you could snap out the bi-pod for better aiming and were stuck in position with your view rotating around where the bi-pod sits rather than the rotating from the player perspective.

Could you please take a look at the division 1&2 Exotics and the outer worlds, please

I don’t know if anyone has said anything but mg barrels can get cherry red before swapped. I’ve seen it happen before and had to change the barrel. It can be reused but normally the armorer checks it out first.

6:59 The rof is slower but just as there's a specialization to give it a drum magazine, you can also make it shoot at 900rpm. It's just for balance so you can choose to have a big magazine for prolonged fire or have a bullet hose with reduced capacity (then the Type 2A happened) i also wish they showed the base model of the gun first before showing how it can turn via cosmetics and customization. Like in Vanguard you can make beyond cursed stuff but the base models aren't too bad
