It would realistically jam like the French chau cha because of all of the open spaces in the magazine and action and if it could fire enough without jamming, the red hot barrel indicates that the rifling would be eaten away (if it was there in the first place) with a chance of the barrel rupturing (either bursting from the pressure as the barrel gets soft from the heat or the barrel dropping down as it gets hot and a bullet passing through the softened metal).

@@BlyatifulButter clearly you couldn’t, but I could understand that the person appreciates the game for what it is supposed to be. It’s a survival horror game.

Yet we still respect how humans are depicted as no longer being a dominant species and having to rely on scraps to build the guns. Even if the guns realistically wouldn’t function the way some of these ones do. There is no reason to be as hostile as you are right now. I haven’t played a newer Call of Duty game in years. The last one I played was World at War’s campaign because it’s my favorite, and it was around a year ago. The Metro series is a fantastic depiction of a possible reality where humanity truly is no longer the dominant species. There’s no denying it. Clearly you are way too much of a Puritan about this game to understand that “gun-brains” are not real, but the idea of “turning off” those so called brains in order to appreciate what the Metro universe has to offer is a very realistic thing to do.

Nearly every game that has an AK gets the reload wrong. You have to practically rotate the magazine in.

I love how Metro Exodus especially makes sure that their guns make as much sense as possible. They go in-depth with explanations, lore, and details in the notebook logs and also throw in details that they don't even make mention of. A good example is on the Bastard: whenever you throw on the 50-round drum magazine or the 100-round belt feed modification, a cooling shroud is added over the chamber/rear of the barrel because a handmade gun like that would never be able to handle the heat of firing 50 rounds in a row without overheating, warping the barrel, or even bursting

I wander how Jonathan would break down the weapons from the Far Cry Series? Maybe the weapon jamming mechanics from Far Cry 2 or weapon systems in Far Cry 5, especially that one RPG-7 that fires a shovel out of it...how would that work out?

@@Louie661 to kind of answer your question about the shovel rpg, a normal rpg round has a 2 stage firing system. First is a gun powder booster charge that fires the warhead away from the shooter, then a rocket motor starts after 10 meters. So im guessing someone took the gun powder booster off an rpg round and stuck it on a shovel.

The nagant is actually mentioned in the in game description for the revolver in exodus. Basically said they revived that mechanism in the metro post war for silencing

Metro has some pretty neat details, for Exodus they did record real gun sounds for most of the weapons in game, which is why most of the firearms sound so good and actually have deafening tone to them.

Actually, the Shambler has a magazine option in Exodus! You insert the magazine from under, not sure how it works with revolver but games are games, they're for the sake of entertainment.

5:00 There actually has been two real world variants created in America, one by an old show about combining gun types into something new which made a short tribarrel minigun which fired shotgun rounds via three magazines. Another was made, albeit an airsoft one, which used a similar shotgun shell belt system.

I wanna be this dude’s friend. Seems like a chill, intelligent guy to have a beer with.

@mikuluver7

The way it looks while firing seems to imply it works on a simple open bolt design mixed with some basic machine gun operation, meaning that you have a sort of ratcheting track with a moving pin fixed to a plate that reciprocates with the bolt, similar to the MG42 or MG34. You could make these feed strips work and have a magazine that plausibly could be like the one in the game. One day I might experiment with some prototyping and create a scale model that illustrates the mechanisms.

@roguereaver634

If it's an open bolt SMG (which it would probably have to be to able to be able to reload without first pulling the bolt back) then there isn't a round in the chamber, but rather the bolt is just already locked back where it needs to be

The in-game written material for the revolver specifically states it uses the Nagant cylinder indexing system to allow for silencing.

The Nagant system also makes for the best revolver carbine since there's no cylinder gap arm burns.

A little small mistake that Jonathan may have not seen is that the AK that is in Metro Exodus is marked AK103 on the receiver, yet it fires the 5.45x39 cartridge. AK103s are actually chambered for the 7.62x39 round!

With the double barrel shotgun it looks like there are some kind of inserts in the chamber, that pop out of the barrel just a little bit, extacting the shells when the gun is opened. That's probably why the character hesitates a second, before breaking the gun open all the way - he needs enough momentum to really "catapult" the spent cartridges out of the gun instead of just "popping them out"
