Johnathan, there is a “black powder” only season for Whitetail deer in West Virginia every year. While many people use the more modern “in-line” smoothbore guns, there are still many people who use reproduction muzzle-loaders no different than what would have been used to hunt Whitetail 150-200 years ago. My father has, hanging on a wall in his basement, a “Virginia Rifle” manufactured in the 1750s, which belonged to one of our ancestors (I believe the brother of his great-great-great grandfather) and which was used in or around the time of the American Revolution.

16:45 Actually, you do! There’s a historic Civil War site on the map with Union and Confederate museums alongside the site. You can often find black powder weapons behind the display cases in said museums :)

So, with the muzzle loaders in 76, they're part of the games smaller references to West Virginia's role in the American Civil War; there were several in game events on launch that were related to burying a soldiers remains or fighting other players wearing Union or Confederate uniforms. These were events during the games launch, but they had enough issues that they've been removed since. The developers haven't expand on the Civil War stuff since.

Fallout has had arcane and magic elements in the series since the very beginning.

Fallout 2 even has you help a ghost out.

Glad to see a mention of the riveted guns from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Utterly love those designs, pure dieselpunk

That blunderbuss that Jonathan showed us is amazing!

There are perk synergies (Stabilized) for power armor and heavy weapons. So in a build designed to use these to their fullest potential there are benefits for the power armor over being without it.

I laughed at the black power rifle when he said theyre probably not from a museum....which in the game they are proving his point of contention lol

Sad, the light machine gun was left out. Got to give some love to the MG42.

@gamespot In the game ARMA Reforger, when Johnathan Ferguson reacted initially he said the M16A2 gun had too much wear on the gun and in the newest update they removed the wear and listened!

Fun fact about the 10mm SMG- the receiver is a Browning machine gun receiver flipped around and squashed! The designer consciously wanted to mimic that "movie gun" feel where it apes a real design but in a different way.

So regarding the Nuka Cola rifle... This is a nod. In 1986, Winchester and Coca-Cola created a promotional brand-crossover 94E 3030 and 1500-XTR, sold as a set. 2500 sets were ordered to be manufactured, but they stopped at just under 1600 after Coca Cola pulled out and cancelled. The product pairing was part of Coca Cola's 100th anniversary celebration, and was perhaps somewhat shortsighted given the era.

Wanted to point out, in 76, there are perks that significantly increase heavy weapon stability and decrease bullet spread while in power armor. At least I think? It's been a few years.

it's wild how Bethesda loves using left-handed guns to show the chambering animation in in first-person (eg, FO4's hunting rifle, the "870" in FO76)

My favourite weapon I picked up in 76 was a Black Powder Rifle with Instigating on it, which does double damage to targets at full health. It SHREDS. I called it Partystarter.

5:15, that 870's clockwork clicks are amazing..)

I recently watched Kunk on Earth, and I was pleasantly surprised to see you on it

I think Johnathan would get a real kick out of Ultrakill's weaponry, that'd be nice to see.

I think Jonathon Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK (which houses a collection of thousands of weapons from throughout history), might be mistaken here. The SMG from Fallout 76 is supposed to resemble the Fallout 3 10MM SMG.

Hearing jonathan talk about that colt, I'd love to see him comment on the gun handling in a game like Call of Juarez Gunslinger, especially the perk to reload with the cylinder spinning the whole time

That old single action is so smart. When you think about when it was made the little click is really satisfying and tells you, you're good to load the next round.

For the Colt Single Action Army i could imagine the first person animation to work, is that under the barrel there is some sort of button-pressed mechanism to spin the cylinder around (instead of ejecting the bullet-cases). But since the third person animation is completely different, there is no excuse for that. xD

Clip.

Wish I knew half of what Jonathan knows about firearms , Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Harper’s Ferry in West Virginia used to be one of the 2 arsenals in the country that made black powder muzzle loading rifles. It was raided by John Brown before the Civil War and became a point of contention during the war. Kind of interesting.

Although they're older, I think Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Musuem, would have a field day with the Soldier of Fortune games. Especially with the Desert Eagle reload animation.

Absolutely loved the video as always! In the games defense, the high damaged of the black powder weapons is allowed and or needed as an offset to the slow reload time for balancing. Also the leveling system (though needed due to being a multiplayer open world game) is more of a holdover from its original form upon release. In the initial release enemies would grow stronger depending on the region, and so as you gained higher levels, you needed higher damaging weapons to deal with new threats etc. This allowed for players to have a good idea of the grade and ability of their equipment, relative to the strength of the enemies in a zone this was changed in future updates where now the enemies level is scaled to each players level (so if two players are looking at the same enemy to one it may be a level 100 and to the other its a level 5) so that newer/low level players could play with their higher level friends. Also (something that is still relevant) is that balance wise it allows the game to level lock certain weapons so that you don't have a level 1 player running around with a fatman or auto grenade launcher just decimating all the low level enemies and/or causing a mess. Fun fact: Fallout 4 had a similar system to this, though being a single player game was able to be implemented more subtly. At higher levels enemies start using/spawning less with pipe weapons and more with combat rifles etc. the higher levels allow you to unlock more levels of gun nut, allowing you to modify your weapon to deal more damage to the now higher level and stronger enemies etc.

24:20 You can see that hes absolutely chuffed to bits at the fact that he knew what he was talking about with flying bugs

Seeing Jonathan react to the Single Action Army almost makes me wish for a Fistful of Frags episode.

The “yeah” and pause after the talk about the lack of handling change between power armour and no power armour was brilliant 😂

This whole Jonathan Ferguson, the Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of iconic from throughout history meme, reminds me of when the Arkham subreddit went completely insane.

In colts first Fallout scene when he is butting his hand under barrel he uses his little finger while gripping in small lifting movement to rotate the barrel.

Yeah, the lack of velocity imparted by black powder weapons(comparatively speaking, of course) is the reason for the 2-bore and 4-bore "stopping rifles". When you absolutely had to put something down, the only way you could reliably do that was with a heavier bullet, since there was a notable limit on the pressure you could develop, and so the velocity you could impart, on a bullet.

The two games that I'd really like Jonathan Ferguson (the Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK, which houses a a collection of thousands of Iconic weapons from throughout history) to react to are Warframe and Nikke. As... unique as the latter game is, there is at least one gun nerd on its development team which means that they have a lot of interesting reload animations, including one where a character swaps out their entire barrel, rather than a magazine or any other ammo storage/feed device.

10:56 There is actually a perk in the game called stabilized that makes heavy weapons more accurate while in power armor

I use the Vampire's Gold .50 BMG as my go-to Big Gun. :) I've also got the exploding bullets mod, too. :) I added the Bayonet mod to my Blackpowder rifle. It has a brass handle, like the real ones, but the blade doesn't curve up. They used a Zouave bayonet as the model to mount on the 1841.

You should show Jonathan the Operation Sunburst Animation by SODAZ when its finished! I think Jonathan would LOVE seeing all the guns depicted And how they're used Both by and against Power Armor

I think Signalis guns would be a fun video to go over

22:20 actually, Coca-Cola themed winchester 94 rifles (and I believe shotguns) were made for the 100 year anniversary of Coca-Cola in 1984.

formal request for Jonathan 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 to take a look at the guns from witchfire

I love asking post-apoc fans talking about feeding their favourite guns: "reloading? Do you know how to make a primer? The chemistry and the primer body? Got the two factories you need?"

17:13 180gr. .50cal roundball can get over 2,000fps on a magnum powder charge with a tight patch. People greatly underestimate the power of muzzle-loaders. It just takes three days to load, and will massively rust if not cleaned immediately after shooting.

I'd still like to see you take a look at Planetside 2, which uses "Gauss Rifle" to mean "conventional ammo with a coilgun boosting the bullet in the barrel".

Sadly the bayonet attachment for the black powder has either been removed or made so abysmally rare that 1 in a billion would be generous.

10:55 Correction. There is a perk in the game called Stabilized under the Intelligence S.P.E.C.I.A.L. that increases the accuracy and armor ignoring capabilities of heavy weapons while in power armor. Yeah, it's tied to a perk, but is an obvious choice for a power armor heavy gunner build.

I realĺy appreciate the giant smoke cloud after firing the blackpowder muzzle loader in this game. It dissipates too quickly, and there isn't the 8 foot flame leaping out the barrel, but I can't think of another game that properly depicts shooting a blackpowder gun. First deer I ever got with a gun was a muzzle loader. I was worried cus I couldn't tell which way it ran with the giant smoke cloud. Once it cleared I could see it didn't run at all. Probably had a heart attack. Imagine going into your kitchen to get a snack and a giant flame jumps out of the houseplant 😂.

Regarding the .50 mechine gun (and the gatling gun and similar weapons), I always imposed a restriction on myself that I could ONLY ise it while in power armor, because otherwise it just felt... silly. Honestly, I think an actual game mechanic that prevents some weapons being used when not in power armor would be a neat addition.

Blunderbi is now my new favourite term

With regards to the 10mm Smg it is a pre war weapon. In general fallout for ballistic weapons follow a very unique design philosophy due to the resource wars and lack of oil supply most modern weapons in the lore are basically just steel aluminum and wood with some rubber. Very little plastics or bakelite. Giving it a very unique design aesthetic as well since it blends in ww2 weapons (which were still in use by many groups), 70s esque weapons, and mashed up modernish weapons with some post war hodgepodges as well. The barrel modifications regarding it are likely post war but do still fit with the weapon designs we’ve seen prior of it.

There's still 1, 2 and Tactics. They all have pretty impressive voice casts for games at the time.

Knock volley gun mentioned, now that’s soldiering!

As a Finn, I'd like to see Jonathan's take on Suomi konepistooli on some games i.e BF V, It has such a huge impact on Finnish history and it is iconic here.

9:57 The heavy weapons being handheld really only makes sense when wearing Power Armor, since in-universe that's what Power Armor was built to do. So instead of needing an armored vehicle to carry the .50 Cal to the frontline, you just have one guy in the suit carrying it around. 21:10 You have to unlock the Gauss Minigun by raising your reputation with the Raiders faction at the Crater settlement. It's a very powerful weapon, but its ammo is among the heavier ammo types in the game.

As a West Virginia, I have only shot one black powder gun…. But we do have plenty of guns.

don't forget the stabilize perk it only works in power armor for heavy weapons. it adds accuracy

Not *strictly* true about the heavy weapon handling being the same in power armour. There's a perk you can take that means heavy guns in power armour gain increased accuracy, as though you were able to hold it more steady!

I have to point out that for the single action revolver reload the character's hand goes THROUGH the barrel in the animation.

Is this the one and only Jonathan 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?

From the 3rd person view of the reload of the M2 it looks like the player is putting the ammo box holder on his thigh to help balance it while holding the pistol grip.

I love that he's a Fallout fan as well as an expert. Love these series.

i always thought the 10mm smg reminded me of a massive Vz. 61 with the top folding wire stock

Something probably unknown to Jonathan and why I appreciate the black powder weapons heavily featured, is that there are a lot of these guns hanging on walls and over fireplaces in middle America 😂 making them perfect desperation weapons

the "neuron activation" moment when the spring loaded bayonnet pops out

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that revolver animation was a repurposed shotgun pump animation hand position that cuts off before the actual pump. Look at the frame of the hand holding the gun before the rotation and its a very wide grip, like the character is holding something more tube shaped.
