I'm glad Jonathan decided to continue doing these reactions ever since those first few episodes over 2 years ago. He's made them incredibly insightful and entertaining.
Everyone that had a hand in making this series deserves a raise and I hope Johnathan got a session in with his emotional support StG-44 after making this video.

Madness: Project Nexus has a class called the Tinkerer that lets you make some absolutely _rancid_ guns. Most people end up with either rifles that double as flagpoles, or an incomprehensible mass of plastic and metal that happens to have a pistol grip hidden inside it.
If his career as a weapons expert ever fizzles out, he’s totally got a future playing Dr. Who.

There's just something so satisfying about the way he points out that the buttstock is a boot. The idea itself feels like something out of a cartoon, and he's just so sincere about it, I love it!
The fact that you didn’t add the Unending Magnificent clip from Borderlands 3 is a sin. For sure my favorite Jonathan meltdown 😂
These weapons actually made Johnathan visibly age…
I can understand why Gamespot would want to keep these in their main channel, but if possible creating a secondary channel just for these "expert reacts" videos would be great and I would instantly subscribe to it. Right now I just can't justify to myself subbing to the Gamespot channel since there's so much stuff that gets uploaded that I'm not interested in. Thankfully KZread still does a good enough job of recommending these videos with Jonathan where I rarely miss one, but unfortunately I don't always catch the loadout videos until much later. Thanks for all the great videos regardless, and happy new year to Jonathan, Dave, and the rest of the Gamespot crew who make this series so great!

reguarding the last gun, i think theoretically they thought it would work in a way that the barrel is cooled (the steam from the handguard) and the bullets fire normally but in the way to the barrel travels THROUGH the thermite grenade (i can see a hole in the middle of it when the shooter loads it) and this would somehow work......though shooting a super-thermite heated round trough a zero degre barrel sounds like the quick temprature change wuld rather just the whole mess go "KA-Boom" instead :P
16:44 This actually points toward how a more realistic 'turbo' system for ballistic firearms could work in a video game - the guns could use a _freeze_ (coolant) charge, that you could insert into the mechanism to cool it down briefly, and if the gun is designed with some sort of electric ignition or electrothermal-chemical ignition then for as long as it's cooled it could change the ignition profile to release more energy than it can normally handle. Sort of like overclocking the gun for a short period.
I think you guys should show him Resonance of Fate's gun customization system for an April Fool's joke. While it doesn't show on the guns in game model the sheer ridiculous amount of parts you can put on it would be perfect for him to look at. I'm talking barrels attached to barrels, sights attached to sights, magazines attached to magazines, sights attached to magazines, barrels attached to foregrips... you see where I'm going with this. Just grab some screenshots of late game customization and show him.
The workplace stress is palpable
I really want to see Jonathan break down the guns from The Order 1886
I wonder if Jonathan has seen enough cursed guns that he could design the Ultimate cursed gun: The most cursed gun ever designed by man.
10:08 "This game is really taxing my brain. Which is probably an indicator I should switch it off..." He's understood Destiny without even playing it.
With Jonathan having a breakdown over the DMT I'd love to see his reaction to the changing Revision Zero.
This series has been like Saturday morning cartoons!
To answer the sci-fi science of the rampage LMG (that really isn't any science... I think) The normal way that the rampage works is the thermite connectors are connected to themselves in normal barrel operation making a slow rate of fire as the gas can only push back the bolt with the cartage combustion pressure. In comes the thermite grenade. During the inspect you can see the thermite holder and the gas tube below it. The thermite grenade hollow core is lined up with the barrel which opens and locks on to either end allowing the round to go through it and break open the covers on the ends. The grenade slowly burns heating up the gas more after the bullet passes and increases the pressure further. This increase pressure throws back the bolt hard enough to meet the maximum compression of the spring quicker and cause the next round to be chambered faster, increasing the rate of fire. The vents on the front let off the excess pressure and heat generated between the grenade and covers, so that the temperature is not so high that is melts any of the components its near. And the weapon is bullpup style to keep the rounds themselves far away from the heat to prevent cookoff.
The video we've been waiting for all year
I would love to see Jonathan talk about the "Receiver" series. Would be a good relief from bad and cursed stuff

Love the show! Happy new year Jonathon, Dave, and the Royal Armouries/Gamespot teams!
Between the previous cursed guns video and this one, it seems like Escape from Tarkov's main design aesthetic was "How can we make our guns as offensive as possible to firearms experts in ways that are physically possible IRL with enough accessories?" while Call of Duty veers between "it's trying to be a real thing but they didn't get *any* of the details right" and more of a viscerally horrifying "WHAT WERE THE DESIGNERS ON?" route.
love these videos. Wish they were longer though
Jonathan: "It's just very...busy, compared to a real gun" Charlton: Am I a joke to you?
Poor Jonathan...I swear, if my BFF and I ever found that game dev studio like we’ve always talked about doing, I’m going to insist we at least have him come in for a day to go over whatever arsenal we come up with in order to iron out the more egregious issues with weapon design that our art team comes up with.
If it's not too far out of his wheelhouse, I'd love to see Jonathan take a look at the early modern firearms and artillery of Warhammer Fantasy games.
It’s cool to look back through the year. I’ll be heading to the royal armouries museum in Leeds tomorrow
I think the tommy gun sticks around because people just always want to use a Chicago Typewriter on their enemies. In futurama, Robot Santa had a laser tommygun.
Ah! A fellow MP5 fan. Lovely gun.
The Tron-ny Gun
As a heavy DMT user in d2 I feel called out lol
I love Jonathan; he looks at all guns in video games and breaks them down functionality wise whole giving a sense of gun logical and proper gun training. Could you imagine a person who makes video game weapons to handle a gun in real life? Its pretty scary,
Two things worth noting: The Dead Man's Tale from Destiny 2 was made as a custom ornamental rifle in the lore. It was meant to be as fancy and over-the-top as possible. The Rampage from Apex Legends seems to have a 2-piece barrel, with the front part extending forward as the gun opens up. The thermite grenate put into the gun has an open core in which the barrel inserts into when reassembled. This means the front barrel gets heated up, but the rear barrel, which contains the round before it gets fired, does not.
Happy new year from south Asia :P and thanks for a compilation of all gun nerd pain with Johnathon xD
The one thing i find cursed is johnathan skull curtains. I want them 💀
So zach hazard and Jonathan walk into the bar but find a pancor jackhammer
I love that EM-2 in the background, really cool rifle to have on display!
love the cursed gun segments :D
"Not a fan of modefying a Thomson to make it futuristic" he loves the pulse rifle from aliens and that is a heavely modefied Tommy gun.
For anyone wondering what the pink gun at 3:40 says: "Key Code: Cutest Model (used incorrectly, as in miniature model) Machine Gun".
Jonathan's back must be absolutely wrecked from carrying this channel!
