Actually fun fact for the lore side of things, the reason why you see casings ejected from the gun is because bullets are teleported into the chamber, this explains the reason why you don't need to reload guns too. The super shotgun is the only gun that has a manual reload due to being a much older gun without the new technology.

"Why would an energy weapon have cartridge cases ejecting?" One hypothesis I have is that those "cartridge cases" are spent/depleted batteries or energy sources, and that each shot dumps the entire energy content of one of those batteries into the blast. Granted they're small in size, the damage done is also small compared to the various ballistic and energy weapons, but as a backup weapon with functionally unlimited ammunition I think the pistol serves its purpose.

In game lore reasoning of the energy pistol ejecting casings is that it converts the energy into a special gel slug with the durability and ballistics of 9mm, but can be charged to inflict greater damage.

from what i remember, the 2 pump actions shoot 6 gauge, the 2016 super shotty is 4 gauge, the eternal version is 2 gauge, the heavy cannon is 15mm, and the eternal chaingun is shoots 7.62 made of condensed argent energy so pretty much explosive. also the 2016 chaingun shoots uranium coated 15mm tungsten slugs at high velocitys.

I'm surprised you didn't comment on the sheer size of the bores on either of the shotguns. 19:40 It's a weapon of the Night Sentinels, which are basically like Knights in Space, the design of it being like a crossbow is to fit in with that theme.

"Why does it have cartridge cases" It could be an early energy weapon where they they couldn't fit a storage for the fuel in the gun itself or couldn't get the energy to travel in the air far enough before dissipating, so the the casing contains a bullet which has the fuel and some machine in the gun heats it up till it turns into that burning hot energy, as the bullet travels the energy inside of it heats up enough to consume the bullet from within, adding to it's mass but till then the bullet helps it keep it's shape. Similar design was used for early Phased Plasma weapons in the Terminator series till Skynet found a way to make Plasma outside of bullets that could travel far before dissipating (basically giving it a magnetic sheath to keep it's shape outside of a bullet). TLDR: Early energy weapons might be a weird hybird between current and future weapons till we figure out how to improve them.

So you might use cartridges as a propellant source to power some sort of electrical generator as a supporting subsystem for an energy weapon.

It's kind of strange how the Ballista and Chaingun work. They would definitely make sense if the Ballista fired bolts and the chaingun fired lasers, but it's actually the other way around. The Ballista uses the same power cells as the plasma rifle, while the chaingun uses the same ammo pool as the assault rifle. One gun you missed was the Unmakyr, which uses the same energy as the BFG, but fires them in a spray of projectiles.

"The gun equivalent of a Conan Sword" finally I´ve been trying to find the perfect analogy for these weapons for so long...

An "energy" pistol may eject casings because it can be not a directed-energy weapon. Maybe it still shoots a material projectile charged with a kind of energy. Also, if the heavy assault rifle is around .50, a mechanism to decrease recoil as with the Doom Eternal version will be quite useful.

I'd really love to see the guns from the first F.E.A.R reviewed, or more Hunt Showdown guns

I'd love to see Jonathan actually play DOOM Eternal

Would love to see the guns from SCP: Secret Laboratory covered, they recently got an overhaul

I wish someone would actually try and design these weapons just to see how they would actually work in the real world

a very tough episode for Jonathan but did it with flying coloours thank you sir i loved the fact ingame there is lore documents you can read about the guns and how they were used in the universe of Doom super cool!

would have loved to see an episode dedicated to old DOS doom and doom II

I would LOVE to see Jonathan's take on the weapons of Remnant from the Ashes. Far less grounded in reality but I want to see his reaction to a rifle made out of a tree.

How about a Tommy gun made from a Small engine and some Sewing machine parts

The pistol ammunition isn't fully energy in its nature. Here is description from the game: "Every UAC employee is provided a standard UAC EMG (Energy-Matter-Gel) Sidearm upon promotion to Tier 2 and above. This sidearm is reliable and effective at short range. A gravity gear dynamo in the stock charges a capacitor whenever the operator moves. When the weapon is fired, the capacitor compresses up to 4 megawatts of Argent Energy into a hardening plasma gel and launches the slug at high velocity. The gel slug has the same impact properties of conventional ammunition, making the weapon act and feel like a standard ballistic firearm. The weapon is constructed of thermally diffusive metal alloys which allow it to discharge rapidly and repeatedly without overheating or compromising the accuracy. The capacitor in the EMG can also be upgraded to concentrate the energy into one large pulse for more stopping power".

I love how savvy he is when it comes to the break down of an energy weapon, this man know the future of “fire”arms

I'd love to see John take a look at the guns in Deep Rock Galactic, there's a good mix of traditional firearms and wacky sci-fi goodness in there. Plus dwarves Edit: Someone else already brought DRG up, who would've thought! Rock and stone!

The Pistol is, for all intents and purposes, the most powerful Sidearm that can be wielded by normal, squishy humans. 15KJ of Kinetic Energy from the compressed plasma slug that weighs 0.00000017 gram could make humies go kaboom (if you wanna go with a dumbed down basic way of explaining) while travelling at 13,284,223 m/s (roughly the speed of 23% the speed of light), with a recoil of only 0.007528 Newton PER SHOT. So the next time you wanna say it's weak, it's weak when you're fighting Doomguy's enemies. Firing it at another squishy humie will only get you insta-gore, without even using the charged shot.

You have to admit, "pump-action gatling revolver shotgun" just sounds FUN.

I'd like to see Jonathan's take on the weapons from Cruelty Squad since most of them are very obscure real world guns

I love how he can understand how very cool the metal versions of the weapons look regardless of how utterly unusable the guns would be for anyone but the Slayer. And indeed, when played right, Doom IS a rythm shooter when played properly, I'd advise anyone reaching their "skill cap" to practice more and not stop playing, Eternal is the perfect rythm shooter once you're used to the pace at which the game is played, and becomes 10x as fun as on the first walkthrough. And don't even get me started on the master levels. Finally enough demons to make it possible to write a score in gunpowder and guts. ;)

Would love to see Jonathan give his analysis of one of the older Delta Force games, especially Land Warrior. LW contained some unique weapons such as the G11, Calico and SOCOM .45!

And the oicw if I remember correctly

Perfect timing as I have just finished my switch play though of doom (2016) and I have been waiting for Jonathan to cover doom

i kinda figured that the aesthetic of the BFG9K/10K difference is the 10k is really just an amplifier that you plug the 9k into, allowing it to have the raw power to partially destroy a planet

The Hammer's Slammers series uses powerguns, and the author specifically designed it to still require a cartridge to hold the energy (some armies use lasers with powerpacks with the corresponding weight issues)

Excellent video, but I kind of really wish he covered the cut Pistol from Doom Eternal (yes, I know this weapon never made it to the final game and was scrapped for obvious reasons, but it's still totally relevant and fitting), plus the BFG-9000, Gauss Cannon, and ChainGun from Doom 2016. I also wish that all the weapon attachment mods/add-ons and alternate fire modes, and also the Unmaykr (or Unmaker) were covered as well. Kind of a shame, but at least I enjoyed the video and liked all his insight into each firearm.

This was really neat! I'd love to see you look at guns from lesser known titles, too! There were some pretty interesting guns from the Turok series, for instance. (Yes, including the remake)

Id love to see Johnathan review the weapons from Ultrakill.

16:28 This Plasma gun's design is reused from Doom 3 however there is extra lore on what it exist is that Mar security wanted a gun where the ammo can be made onsite or using materials that are far more common to the planet.

Good video. It would have been interesting if the Unmakyr from Eternal had made it on to this list as well.

Entertaining watch. Taking a few critical jabs, but never ignoring that the main intention behind them is to look cool or as he describes it "The gun equivalent of a Conan sword" And yes. Very wise editing to include the reaction to the BFG10000's firing sequence. It is the funniest bit in game! Also never realized the original dooms did indeed lack a traditional assault rife. it was straight to chainguns back then.

So happy to see him do one of my favorite games! I really want to get back into speedrunning!

Would love to see the six star experimental weapons from Generation Zero featured. Most of the 5 star and lower guns are basically your bog-standard weapons, but the six star experimental weapons are quite fun. Some of the weapons on the enemies would also be neat.

21:30 Your reaction cracked me up love it! 🤣 A little tidbit about the chain gun is that it's essentially a hand-held gatling gun (ha!). The original gatling guns were hand-cranked monsters on wheels. You gotta admire just how far technology has advanced with fully automatic rotating barrel weapons such as the GAU Avenger.

super informative and fun, awesome vid!

Recently started replaying Homefront: The Revolution. Would love to see the reactions to the cursed concept behind the firearm conversions in that game.

Such a fun series. Would love to see Johnathan return to Hunt Showdown. They've added several new weapons and variants since the last one.

What i am about to say has Been said a thousand times But they also fixed some things he noted in the original run

Doom 2016 was temporary.. But DOOM is Eternal

solid fellow. really nice attention to detail and appreciate the humor viewing such crazy guns :)

I was just looking for this exact video last week. The Conan comparison for Eternal is very apt.

About the 2016 pistol, it’s classed in the codex as an EMG sidearm (energy matter gel) and uses argent energy in the weapon capacitor to launch hardened plasma slugs formed from energised gel. So the casings coming out most likely held the gel like a conventional firearm bullet holds the propellant. As to why it’s infinite, that’s DOOM for ya.

It's kinda weird that the campaign one is infinite ammo but eject casings, while the multiplayer one is the direct opposite.

I'd forgotten how much nicer the guns in the 2016 version looked.

You take that back my assault rifle was always meant to be flannel plaid and it took Eternal for me to realize it

the more I look at it, the more I see that the rounds for the 2016's H.A.R are actually linked, since the casing ejected looks like conventional casings. it's just the links actually wrap around the casing.

Good video. Missed a couple guns like the gauss gun and the unmaykr. Also the full effects of the ballista

Doom 3 also has some interesting weapons worth covering. I'd enjoy John covering the guns and the PDAs that describe them as well

I would love to see a video on the guns from the original Killzone as that game has some of my favourite gun designs like the StA-52.

an interesting editing choice to show the clip of the rocket launcher, show jonathan realising the chain has some functionality, then play a clip of a different launcher model _without_ a chain as he talks about it

“It’s like the gun equivalent of a, ‘Conan,’ sword.” that’s probably the highest compliment you could pay to the artists & devs working at id, tbh

i really wish you could combine weapon history with historic old games like gokden eye from the N64, like, seeing one of the first P90 3D models would be so cool
