- Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the weaponry of Battlefield 1, including the tiny Kolibri pistol, the Borchardt C-93 semi-automatic pistol, and the Villar Perosa M1915 automatic firearm.
Battlefield 1 takes the long-running shooter franchise into the First World War, and as a result, it includes a range of period weaponry such as the M1915 Hellriegel machine gun, the Bergman MP18 submachine gun, and the Burton 1917 light machine rifle.
In the above video, Jonathan Ferguson--a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries--breaks down the guns of Battlefield 1 and compares them to their real-world counterparts.

Everyone complained i always played recon :c
Because its the only class that has period avcurate arms.
Cavalry is awesome too though
I almost never use a weapon outside of the nation that uses it. I actually do better that way, despite the pain of adjusting setups each time. BF4, BF1, BFV, you name it.

I love that this guy says things like, “it definitely didn’t exist in this time,” or, “There were only prototypes of this and they were just after the war.” He understands why they’re in the game and doesn’t scoff at the historical inaccuracy and realizes the need for variety in weapons.
Yeah it appears that he can really appreciate both history and the game. When I've watched or read other accuracy breakdowns of the game people tear it apart. But they seem to forget that it still has to be a game and that it does a good job of emerssing you and making you appreciate ww1.
@@chawnce1 How does it do that? Having a plethora of weapons that didn't actually exist can't possibly by definition, increase immersion. People just need to get over EVERYTHING needing to be an arcade game. You don't get a ww1 game going "oh boy I hope there is a bunch of stuff that never actually existed in the game." If you don't like bolt actions and semi-auto rifles then maybe instead of turning the game into a run and gun cod copy you should just stick to playing cod and leave battlefield where it was supposed to be, a more historically accurate tactics and team based shooter with large scale warfare. All adding these extra guns did was end up filling battlefield with the same foul mouthed out of control 12 year olds that cod has who have ZERO business in these games.
@KDC RunThat So me pointing out that things that never existed being put in a game purely to attract younger players, for a rated M game, means I have the downs?
@@Konghammer1 Battlefield was never meant to be realistic or tactical.
If someone wants a realistic shooter that relies on tactics, then can play ARMA, Squad, or maybe (and this is a stretch) insurgency. The Battlefield franchise was always arcade. For fucks sake, Battlefield 1942 had a jetpack. Remember when the Japanese used German weapons to fight US soldiers on the legendary battle of Wake Island? Made up for the game. How realistic.
The lead designer of 1942 even states that it was made as an action romp first and foremost. He even stated that historical accuracy was a spice always trumped by the gameplay.
@@Konghammer1 As @GrazingLemur already said Battlefield has never been super realistic. Its an arcade/sim, a step higher than COD but a far cry from ARMA or similar full sims. At the end of the day even those are far from real war. Personally I think BF1 still has a lot of good tactics and team play, people don't use mics and squad play like they used too but get a group of friends and youre golden. And I didnt realize that people had a problem with map size being too small. I thought most maps were pretty good and I've actually heard some complaints about maps being too big. On the immersion front I simply meant the gun selection makes the game easier to play and funner for most people to play. As least for me it made it more approachable and got me to play more of the game. After that the tactics of the game modes, the fantastic graphics, and great sound design got me imerrsed. To the level where sometimes when I run around a corner and see a tank or see a squad of the enemy my heart drops a little. Thats what I mean by immersion. And as a sidenote, enjoying the game encouraged me to read more books about the war and learn the history.
I've also honestly viewed BF1 as "what if the war lasted into 1920+" in terms of the weapons, it's neat to hear someone else make that supposition.
Yep! It kinds of make sense considering there's *lots* of weapons to choose in the game too :D
Seeing 1920+ made me think of Iron Harvest and honestly i wish we had a BF1 style game in the Iron Harvest universe, the prototype and rare weapons in BF1 fit really well in that setting
5:55 Not a big deal but in BF1 they give you a negative trade of for taking a scope on a rifle.
When firing you have to unscope to pull the bolt. If you don't take a scope you can pull the bolt with the Iron sights still up :)
Hey iron
And that is period accurate as the scope was in the way of the bolt and needed to keep an eye on the bolt, unlike straight pull bolts that did not require one to stop ADS
That’s actually wrong, their are a few specific rifles that give you the “straight pull buff” where you can pull the bolt with the sights still up, but not all iron sights give you that buff
The most appealing benefit of iron sights is no scope glint revealed to the enemy down range.
Indeed
Battlefield 1 is amazing to play when they host the “back to basics” gamemode which strips out all of the automatic firearms, we’re talking 32v32 of Gewehr 98s and SMLEs, at times it feels like a firing barage from Napoleonic times. It requires teamwork to win and is incredibly fun
YES. I love Back to Basics. That's Battlefield 1 at its finest. because it makes it feel more like an actual WWI battle.
A lot of Hellriegal users going to be mad at this one!
I love back to basics with my hud off
@@AbsoluteyAmerican True, it is funny to see people complaining about that mod.

I like that very last gun that was showcased.
"Sir, how do we increase our firepower!"
"Simple. Two guns."
"At once?"
"Yes."
A very Italian conversation.
I like how he wasn't super pretentious about it when explaining inaccuracies and stuff. He understands that as a video game it can't be 100% realistic for both balancing and variety purposes. Sometimes with this genre of video it feels like the expert just wants an excuse to tell us all how stupid we are.
Well, Battlefield 1 is like 2% realistic.
I like it a lot actually, its like a "what if this crazy prototype actually worked" is fun
Wish the players would act the same way. They played BF1 without saying a word but BFV adds female character models to multiplayer and it was like the world ended. Saw a video just a few days ago where the person was saying BF2042 was "finally going to give us the realistic WWII game we always wanted" with portal because it doesn't have women or customizable uniforms. The fact that those WWII men can fight against desert storm guys with harrier jets was seemingly not an issue though.
Yeah I am a gun nut but I accepted it because I'm also a history buff and I was just happy they did a world war one game and I knew they probably wouldn't get much correct since most guns are probably gone and most ww1 weapons were just bolt actions and they needed a variety
The developers are actually very aware that the game is not genuine WWI. One of them says in a video that this is their vision of what the war could have looked like. In the game menu you can actually read about each gun and like he says in this video, a lot were experimental and/or super rare

The museum is in Leeds UK if anyone’s wondering. It’s great inside
Definitely giving it a visit once all this blows over
@@H31MU7 i visited it in November. A lot of the museum is closed (around the 3rd floor) but even then, it was probably one of the best I’ve been to.
I could listen to Jonathan ramble about BF1's arsenal of weaponry for hours if I'm honest! I'd be interested in what he makes of weapons like the SMG08/18, Frommer Stop machine pistol, Parabellum MG14/17 (I believe the Armouries has one in their collection?) and maybe even the depiction of the humble Chauchat. Hopefully I can visit the museum again soon, once things open back up again!
Same!
He’s like the English version of Ian from Forgotten Weapons (a brilliant channel) They’re kinda weedy nerds but I think they’re just lovely and can , as you say, ramble as much as they like about these interesting firearms. I’m all ears. It’s fascinating stuff. As much as I agree on the weapons bans we have in UK I’d love to have a go with some if this stuff as my dad did way back when. Quite envious. Top bloke m.
You can get very similar content on CNArsenal who go through all of the weapons of WW1, and I do mean all of them.

I went to the Royal Armoury in Leeds on a school trip a long time ago. They let me dress up as an English Civil War musketeer and challenged me to see how fast I could load and fire a rifle. I'd love to visit again.
*musket
Rifled muskets weren't being used until the 1800s because of the technology available

@@sumvs5992 Actually... There were the rare rifled muskets used in the American Revolution. That was in the 1770's.

If you're suggesting CS:S or 1.6 due to the left hand features on virtually all the weapons in the game (IE AK, Scout, and AWM bolts on the left, AR ejection port and forward assist on left), it's simply because all the weapons were modeled and animated from the left side and were mirrored to the right for a more traditional look.
And….done. Good episode. So glad he actually played those back when they were fresh.
Honestly, I feel like he should also look into the more independent games like Verdun and Tannenburg to go deeper into the game weapons of WWI. He might be impressed, might not. Who knows.
"Hunt-Showdown" is a game set in 1895. There are some interesting guns in there such as the mosin nagant, the lebel and a c96.

I’d love to see him react to more of the guns from this game, especially the reload animations. As much as they included wacky, prototype weapons in BF1, there’s a lot of realism in how the guns operate compared to most AAA FPS games.
remember allot of the gun featured in the game are technically and literally experimental weapons, I think DICE decided to put them into the game as way of thinking "what would happen if WWI did have these weapons in service?" so the weapons are made in prototype sometime before/during the war so they were thinking of how fun it would be
BF1 is a arcade style fps thats happened to be set in ww1. It's trying its best to be historical, but also have fun with the gun selection and attachments. It not like verdun and those games which is trying to be as historic as possible, but its not wolfenstein, which is complete fantasy with a historical setting.

You misspelled BF3.
I'd say it was BF4. BF1 is a fun game, don't get me wrong, but it feels nothing like BC2, 3 or 4, which i consider the peak of the franchise. Hardline was also quite decent, but i don't really consider it part of the series
Two things to say:
Firstly, I only just noticed now that when the player is reloading the Kolibri and racks the slide that the guy still has his finger on the trigger. With the distribution of force on such a tiny gun I'm pretty sure that he would fire off a round as he's reloading. Not too big of a safety concern for a Kolibri, but worth pointing out.
Second, on the topic of Villar-Perosa stock's I have seen images of authentic Villar-Perosa's with a kind of weird clubfoot stock, but A I'm not sure whether it was meant to assist in shoulder firing or support when fired prone and B I'm not even sure whether they are period WW1, or maybe a post-war effort to make the gun less cumbersome.
Great video as always!
Glad to know I wasn’t the only one running around with a historically correct class(or as close I could get in BF1)
Keep bringing this guy back! He’s awesome!
I always heard "trench broom" and "trench sweepers " referring too pump shotguns. Including tactics like with Bayonet attached hold the slide stationary and pump the gun when up close .if In a group, you make a musket formation with kneeling and standing troops and each blasts at specific area of the trench . ( If even possible of course. Maybe it worked well in the nice clean German trenches ,lol. ) or alternately , some lay down and shoot up,diagonally and some kneel to shoot forward...

None of the guns in MGSV are real, so I'm unsure what he'd talk about. Maybe pick out which features look like which mashups of guns, but thats pretty easy to do on your own.
@@aubrey_d thats true but snakes main weapon is actually based off the JSDF's assault rifle
@@overlordedsithii The AM MRS-4? Doesnt really look anything like the Howa Type 89 to me, if anything it looks like a mix of a FN FAL (In the charging handle and part of the upper reciever) and the ZM LR-300 thats mostly popular in games and is unobtanium in real life. Its all approximations though, you'll find features that look like other guns but it all comes together to make a different gun. Like the Karbaga-83, obviously inspired by the Saiga or Vepr 12, but there are parts in it that remind me of the tube stock Valmets, and parts that dont look like any gun in particular at all.
Can he react to Hunt Showdown ?
Sees a 20-round revolver
'Pauuuuusing'
@@user-yy3dy4jh5l yeah lol, Hunt is known for having lots of bizarre guns
@@fracturedmirror4300 most of them are real though and the loading animations are pretty well done
Agreed a video on hunt would be fun.
YES
I'd love to see a breakdown of the firearms in Brink. 24 weapons in total; all custom to the game, but supposedly modeled as mashups/inspired by elements of real firearms
How about a video where Jonathan gets to pick 10 weapons he would want to see in video games, either for looks, unusual reloading mechanism or just because they would fit into certain games really well. Maybe do it in categories. 2 Semi Auto Pistols, 2 Revolvers, 2 Shotguns, 2 Assault Rifles, 1 Sniper/DMR and 1 LMG.
Metro series would be super fun in the soviet-apocalypse context.
But I would also really like to see one of my favourite franchises -- Sniper Elite! I'd love to see what Jonathan has to say about the Thompson submachine gun in Berlin :D
We actually advised on SE:4; Rebellion are great guys.
I've been with the game since their first release (in 2005 I believe?) and it grew so well! Now I know why :D
Damn I was featured in a video! A big Thank you Jonathan for the amazing content and thank you GameSpot for making this possible!
i always wanted this video to exist, but couldn't even imagine it really is! thank you so much
There was a version of the Villar Perosa with a buttstock - sort of. Just after the war the OVP was created, which was basically half of a Villar Perosa fitted to a wooden buttstock and normal trigger.
Hunt Showdown, next please.
Cry Engine's best till date and arguably has the best looking Mosin.
As someone who also likes to roleplay in BF1 as a hapless, period correct, soldier, and is constantly getting stomped on by less discerning "normal" players, I wonder if Jonathan has discovered Verdun?
I'd like to see a part two tbh with the Martini-Henry and the Mondragon 1908 Rifle getting highlighted.
Would love to see a part 2
Games I'd like to see Jonathan review:
-ALL OF THEM
That will be all.
I hope he reacts to Rainbow Six: Siege guns.
After reviewing modern warfare, tarkov and battlefiled, he will find how unreal siege's guns are.
He’ll be so disappointed
@@Unrequired how are modern warfare's guns realistic😂?
I would’ve liked to have seen the Howdah Pistol 🥲 but oh well. Great video. Very informative
Some modified Villar Perosa with stock were issued to italian infantry "Arditi" as soon as 1917, after they already proved useful in the original configuration; so the Villar Perosa does qualify as the first submachine gun that saw action in WWI
