    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.

    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.

      The soldiers burial is a daily quest largely buried under all the other dailies aswell as it required players to have a shovel, often found nearby, to bury the remains. The PVP event of union vs confederate was never popular so it was removed fairly early.

    The product pairing was part of Coca Cola's 100th anniversary celebration, and was perhaps somewhat shortsighted given the era. The weapons now command a hefty price at auction, with one auction Starting at 1795 back in 2020.

    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.

    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.

  • @Sn1pEzTV
    @Sn1pEzTV Před 13 dny +1

    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

    @Scuzz1204 Před 13 dny

    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.

    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.

  • @mooneyes2k478
    @mooneyes2k478 Před 6 dny

    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.

  • @lorscarbonferrite6964

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

  • @nihtgengalastnamegoeshere7526

    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.

  • @CdrChaos
    @CdrChaos Před 12 dny

    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.
