    Oh yes Jonathan, all guns in Tarkov have a ridiculous amount of recoil for "balancing" reasons, the realism of the game is great and all but they're really picky about what they portray accurately for whatever reason. Every 5.56 in the game feels like a 7.62, and every 7.62 feels like a .338 semi auto gun, it's crazy to think our characters are supposed to be trained PMC's yet hold guns like they have arms made out of cooked spaghetti.

    The recoil is one thing I'll never get about Tarkov. For a game that embraces and clearly cares about realism in so many other facets, they really dropped the ball on the recoil mechanics. As it is now, you are punished for using semi-auto, and are rewarded for just going full auto all the time. It unfortunately makes all the cool semi-auto guns they add basically useless at late game pvp, and ensures its just AR's with the biggest mags you can fit.

    They just changed it because so many peple cried about pre 12.12 recoil where M4s and HKs were meta because you could beam people from 100+ meters on full auto. Pretty much the recoil right now is like your PMC doesn't control recoil at all, while pre-12.12 was your PMC controling most of the recoil. Its a weird mix of almost like CS:GO where the character doesn't control recoil at all, and like CoD where the character controls a lot of the recoil

    There are still two reasons to use a revolver over a magazine fed pistol. Revolvers still work better or are easier to handle with large caliber rounds as they don’t have to worry about moving slides and such being big enough to eject the large rounds, particularly rimmed ones. Revolvers also are very difficult to jam, which may be a factor in a scenario like that game.

    i would love it if yall do another episode, that you show a cursed gun made by BNBaku i belive on YT. it's basically a shotgun with the max amount of rails or hexagon scope fitters or something, (as you can see i don't really have a lot of Tarakov knowledge) and you place a flashlight on every individual one of them and then a scope at the top essentially making you see like 6m into the sky and making the enemy blind in the process :)

    In Tarkov, there's a merchant who goes by "Peacekeeper" and he's an arms dealer for the UN who's set up on the border on the conflict zone. He can get his hand on basically any western weapon. This is a huge simplification, but it's a quick explanation to how the PMCs are getting these Gucci guns.

    So on the subject of Tarkov Recoil. There's two types: Visual and Actual recoil based on what your FOV is set at. Presumably to encourage people not to just crank fov because additional vision is an advantage. If you play at 63 fov it should be a more authentic experience. Cheers.

    If thats the case i think thats kinda awful. A FOV of anything under 80 makes me personally quite dizzy and i usually play my games at 90 or 95, being punished for playing on settings that dont make me physically sick is quite unreasonable :/ (not to mention you are already at a disadvantage for doing long distance shots at high fov but gain more spatial awarenes, it already has its pros and cons, so why add more)

The game isn’t personally tailored to people with motion sickness; just because it affects you, doesn’t mean it should be balanced around that.

    Even someone who does not play the game can easily spot the worst problem plaguing it at the moment. The recoil on most guns is atrociously high, especially when you consider the games main focus is realism. Why does a 5.56 semi auto rifle have the recoil of a .308 battle rifle? Its the main reason that stopped me from playing the game

Great stuff Also thank you so much for having more "normal" weapons this time lol I mean the crazy glock and the revolver shotgun thing are neat, but they're not weapons a lot of us are super interested in? Could be wrong. Plus I love that this channel helps get some of our fellow nerds into firearms, teaches them more about them, and maybe makes them seem less "scary" or intimidating.

    The only argument I can see for a revolver is reliability, mechanically I don't see any more reliable firearm than maybe a well machined/forged slamfire shotgun. I don't think I've ever seen a revolver malfunction in the "normal" way, as in, shells not ejecting on a pistol causing a jam etc. Grime and dirt would impact a revolver far less I would think as well.

    Which is why revolvers are commonly used as a kind of self-defense/survival weapon for hiking trips, in rough climates like the arctic, and of course a backup for large game hunting. Basically anywhere where you aren't really concerned about using it all the time, but when you need it it ABSOLUTELY has to work flawlessly. That's also why some people carry revolvers over automatic pistols in day to day life.

    The problem with tarkov is that you have skills that you have to level up like Assault Rifles and Recoil Control which both give you better handling of any assault rifle. In real life anyone could hold an AR 15 or any 556 based weapon and hold it steadier than we see in the videos but once you level up those skills it's very realistic and guns behave just like they do IRL, for full auto you see like an initial kick then with your strength you can make it steady.

    At 10:10 when Jonathan points out that it's odd that a Rifle Dynamics variant of the AK is present in Eastern Europe... It's actually not, well in the game that is. It fits very nicely with the lore and in-game storytelling. With a whole lot of shady happenings and dealers with diverse connections, it wouldn't come to a big surprise to see such weaponry featured in Tarkov.
