Never thought I'd hear Jonathan Ferguson, the KoF&AatRAMitUK, say "just the tip" lol
Must have been hanging around with Matt Easton.
Perfect abbreviation KoF&AatRAMitUK
Thats the short abbreviation. The full one is:
Jonathan Ferguson, the KoF&AatRAMitUK,whaCotoiwfwoh
@@jackzed2020 just wanted to keep things less formal
Love the abbreviation, thank you.
I love that shirt worn by 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
Oho, it so is 👌
w
I really want them to do an episode on his shirt collection:
гщ
"It doesn't go very far in, just the tip" Jonathan forgot he was talking to the internet 😂😂😂😂
We need a Jonathan out of context compilation
I did not :D
My first thought was "someone better not clip that".
Nope:)
And that brief pause in the soundtrack right when he said it lol
Re PIAT 13:38 “Undoubtedly the most famous incident involving the PIAT was the action in Italy in which Fusilier Jefferson dashed into the open and fired it from the hip, stopping two Tiger tanks at close range. He was awarded the Victoria Cross for this remarkable feat, and the general opinion in the ranks was that he deserved it for firing the thing from the hip, let alone killing two tanks with it.” -Ian Hogg, Infantry Weapons of WW2
lol that's a great quote
ww
Not Panzer 3s or 4s, but 2 TIGERS? Stopped with 1 PIAT shot? Yeah that certainly happened...
@@CSSuser No, he would have fired twice, I actually believe the version of the passage I am familiar with is from Tank Killing also by Ian Hog and says "Fired from the hip to take out a Tiger tank and then calmly reloaded and fired a second shot from the hip to take out a second tank". The model of the second tank is not mentioned, but given that tanks are almost always deployed in mutually supporting pair if not entire platoons it is likely the second tank was also a Tiger.
I like how he understands that video games can’t be super accurate all the time (budgeting and equipment needed to make a game) but still appreciates the effort that the designers take when designing these models and doesn’t just bash the studio for not being 100% accurate
Because he's self a gamer, said he played alot counter strike back in the days.

Oh boy, another video with 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
My dad told me about the platoon jokester who tried to hip-fire a mortar during the Angola border war. In his words: "He put the mortar down and then went to find a tree to quietly cry behind."
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, I would like you to look at the weapons of the Valkyria Chronicles series. Please. You’d have a wonderful time with it.

The POV comparison for the Enfield was a nice touch, would love to see that more often :D
That's true! That POV is not something you see very often.
www
13:00 not in WWII, but in WWI, there were people that did hip fire the Lewis Gun in combat. I believe the Canadians also made a sling for the Lewis Gun so it could be easily fired from the hip.
Also, in game, you can fire the Bren from the shoulder and use the iron sights. You can only hipfire the Lewis Gun in game by bracing it.
Those mfs must've been Hella strong lol
This was done in tandem to moving. Firing while moving to keep the enemy's head down was the theory. I don't know if there was any study or reports done on its effectiveness but I doubt it actually was especially if done with bolt-actions but it was a new type of war with millions of bodies, can't really blame the people back then for trying to figure it out.
@@kaelcoorvacke6222Perhaps used in conjunction with the "creeping barrage" artillery strategy they were using?
Most countries in WWI did it - the tactic was called 'walking fire' and the intent was basically to provide some form of suppression while you advanced on a trench. It didn't work and was terribly dumb, but it was early days for modern warfare.
It's funny Johnathan brings this up almost every time with the Lewis gun but his friends at C&Rsenal had an entire segment on it in their Lightening series and everyone was able to do it. The biggest issue was mostly bracing the gun so it could actually properly cycle, and that was only an issue with Mae. Even she was able to just hold the thing and fire from the hip fine otherwise :V
@@IgorNVhockey players lol
At 11:59 it looks like Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories Museum in the UK is wearing a miniature TI-83 as a wrist watch. Not sure if that's a flex but now I want one.
looks like some manner of Casio Databank? in any case, it feels like the right watch for Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK.
Please Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, break down the weapons from *METAL GEAR SOLID 3* before the remake comes out.
So many weapons in MGS3 to react and comment on like the Patriot's infinite ammo magazine, the EZ tranq gun, Snake's customized officer M1911A1, Snake whittling the pistol grip to use a knife for CQC, Ocelot's SAA juggling skills, The End's paratrooper tranquilizer Mosin Nagant, the Davey Crockett recoil-less nuclear launcher and Eva's chinese Type 17 mauser clone with her "bandit shooting" technique.
There are so many more other interesting trivias and weapons in MGS3 so please Dave and Johnathan, please consider making a video for the MGS3.
I agree. We need more MGS 2, 3 and 4
I've seen you asking for mgs3 every episode for a year now. Keep at it lol 😆
Who is this Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK?
Unless you're talking about Jonathan Ferguson, 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.
@@ITzAhhMehMardio haha, well I wrote it that way so the game I requested could be seen on mobile and not cut off by the "read more".
Yes, I hadn't realized that I would also love to see Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history. This was one of my most personally anticipated games, and I don't even have a Playstation other than the first one. With the Master Collection out, I'll be playing that on PC soon'ish.
Expecting hll to display used primers is asking a lot. Personally I’d like my tank to not get stuck on a leaf before anything else🍁
I work at Starbucks. Everytime Jonathan Ferguson, The Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, home to thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history, orders a hot beverage, i write "Jonathan Ferguson, The Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, home to thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history" on his cup.
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, please could you cover the guns of Enlisted?
The increased back and forth between Jonathan and Dave, like with the Boys AT rifle, the Rifle Number 4, and Sten gun, is great to see. Helps to give so much more context for both Jonathan and the audience who may have not played the games
He needs to do Postal 2.
I need to see his reaction to the cat silencer
Dave, the keeper of Johnathan Ferguson and weapon react videos at Gamespot, which houses hundreds of iconic expert react videos throughout the last few of years:
Could we please get a video dedicated to the Wonder Weapons of Call of Duty Zombies over the last decade plus?
Haha the first part made my head hurt.
In response to the second part.......stay tuned.....
@@IrregularDavethat would make for a great video!
@@IrregularDave Legend mate, looking forward to it. Please don't forget to include the Blundergat 🙏🏼
I fired a Bren last summer. One thing worth noting is that the gun will continually push back towards the shooter with the bipod deployed, so controlled bursts are ideal.
Absolutely, you always want to use short bursts. But the Bren's buffering and weight means that with proper technique (lying directly behind the gun, toes into the ground and braced forward into the bipod) you can deliver longer bursts with some accuracy than most equivalent guns.
ww
Anyone else noticed on the webley that after he loads a round in the case head pivots into a different orientation to match the others
handled a bren as part of the armouries 'realities of war' team yesterday, and i have to say before Jonathan showed it was a sectioned version i was wildly impressed he was holding it one handed 😂
I would really love seeing Jonathan reacting to the weapons of Signalis.
Good game
Love the showing clips of Jonathan and Dave asking each other questions, hope that becomes a trend
www
@@IrregularDaveI’m surprised you had the time to get the anti tank role to level 8 to unlock the Boys AT rifle. It took me ages to get the flamethrower for support and I don’t have an abundance of video games to get footage of for Johnathon lol
@@jamez470 it did take a while haha
You should really show Jonathan the weapons of Cruelty Squad for this april fools day.
Is that a good idea to make make the two of them be subjected to that dumpster fire? Sure why not, at this point I think they can trudge through it
@@bruticus1496 Yes, because not only are most of the guns in that game identifiably real, most of them are weird prototypes that have never shown up in another game before. The game looking...weird is just the cherry on the top.
@@bruticus1496 If they can survive the literal dumpster fire that is COD Vanguard, they can survive the metahphorical dumpster fire that is Cruelty Squad.
www
@@maurice2454 both were literal dumpster fires
im so glad the "say the whole title" bit is catching on. i remember a few months ago wishing that it would snag and the comments would run with it. got my wish teehee
Nothin makes me happier than seeing Jonathan Ferguson on the screen 🙌🏻
"Just the tip"
11:53
wwww
Sometimes the tip is all you need
That piat section had me rolling. Good job Jon
3:29 when the spent rounds are ejected they have the bullet in the casing
Good catch! you can also see it at 2:14
www
Im begging some one to make a clip of jonathan saying 'just the tip'
Auto tune it, make it a song
www
I love the Sten. It is always my main weapon in any WW2 game it has been in. Has been ever since I played CoD 2.
when the Fallout London mod comes out you should have a look with Jonathan
Jonathan should look at the guns of SAO Fatal Bullet and COD Advanced Warfare
_After_ Metal Gear Solid 3 ツ
@@TheSundayShooteryes
Whos Johnathan?
wwww
As always, and excellent video. I see this series, I click.
with the stick mags on the tommy gun the boltholdopen should activate on last shot
It's great when they're both in the video. Bouncing off each other, makes it much more dynamic.
I need a shirt with Jonathan's counterfeit on it and the text

lol that's a great quote
4:34 Is there a reason why muzzle flash is visible on the stock? Or is that a lighting error?
Edit: also seems to be a little bit of flash visible on the bolt at 14:33
Lighting error, happens with pretty much every gun, its a good way to find someone hiding in bushes because it picks up other people's muzzle flashes.
3:08 the hammer doesn't look like it's working like it should (the hammer goes back when it's fired, and back forward after the fact)
Indeed - I did say this, I presume it got cut out for time? We went back to the old pause and speak method for this so I rambled for longer than of late :)
This is Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries in UK.
Literally spit my soda on the intro when Jonathan said just the tip. Made my day
Please have Jonathan cover the guns from Squad 44, formerly Post Scriptum.
I love the rubber band shotgun you have on the wall in the background 😂
With regards firing the PIAT from other than prone, I believe that Maj. Robert Cain VC is reported to have done just that at Arnhem. It was also claimed that Cain fired a 2in mortar horizontally either from the hip somehow braced sideways.
EDIT: The big almost ghost ring battle-sight on the No4 is, in my opinion of turning targets, probably easier to snap shoot with than those on the SMLE. The SMLE rear-sight is a long way from your eye and takes a bit of time to acquire while the aperture is just naturally in front of your eye when you bring the rifle up.
I'd love to hear Johnathan's thoughts on Easy Red 2.
I think that 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 should take another look at Hunt: Showdown. They've added new weapons and weapon variants since the last video.
When talking about the Webley reload, Jonathan says the bullets disappear from the cases, but when I look at the clip at 2:08, all rounds were fired but what ejects from therevolver (at 2:14) are all live cartridges, with projectiles in the cases.
I worked at Team17 in the QA when the British were being worked i loved seeing the weird and wonderful british stuff being added like the The Boys AT Rifle
Can I just say, I love how the friendship of Jonathan & Dave has progressed over the years. My headcanon is that they go to the pub every now and then for a catch-up away from work.
I remember back in the day playing COD2 online and always struggling with the Enfield (believe it was the mk4 there) aperture sight. In fast paced combat I would always mistake one of the sight protectors as the actual front post. The front post was lower but I think the issue was that the sight protectors are also straight up vertical rather than curved.
I'd love to see Jonathan react to Receiver 2, the attention to detail in that game is insane
Can we get a video of Johnathan and Ian trying to name guns by sounds alone? A head to head match would be entertaining to watch
I was waiting for this one.
Modded S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has some cool stuff.
Try Anomaly or some such.
love this series, hope it never stops. Maybe have a look at the game: SCP: 5K, they did a huge update to the weapons in Nov 23
"just the tip"
That's What She Said!
I have already cut "Just the tip" and plan to use it in the very near future. Thank you.
Excellent
www
Great stuff lads, would love to see breachers vr or into the radius vr
Jonathan: the enfield's bolt slightly off shape
Team 17: we will fix it.
Jonathan: thank you , that will add to the Authent..(gets interrrupted)
Team 15: in 2026
Jonathan: ..icity.
Just watched the Akimbo episode and I have to say, I'd go nuts to see dual wielding attempted with machine pistols by Jonathan Ferguson Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK which houses thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history. Maybe a pair of skorpions? Both from the hip, just dumping downrange and seeing how many rounds get near the paper target.
I would like to see Jonathan reacting to the weapons of Warframe - especially the Grineer weapons
Love the work. You should consider having Jonathan look at the weapons of the Max Payne games as well as the first Resident Evil remake.
A lot of those videos are shooting outside when you shoot inside it has more of an echo which is really cool that they did that because not many games change the difference from inside shots to outside shots specially when it comes to decibels but I think that's just for hearing purposes I'm not sure I couldn't tell you I mean whatever but when it comes to accuracy of firearms this is one of the few games that get it right when it comes to Old world war II firearms
Would be cool to see another video on squad, there have been a lot of new guns added since the last video
There was a VC won at Arnhem by an officer (Major Robert Cain of the 2nd Souths Staffs part of the Air Landing Brigade) who was bothering Germans with a 2" Mortar being used in the 'direct fire mode' after they had run out of PIATS!
Y'all should do Ground Branch! Especially with the prone mechanic update it is another amazing milsim game like Ready Or Not!
Thank you for doing this video after me requesting it 50x lol
When jonathan said just the tip, i felt that
Another reason you can have varying rate of fire is because of spring tension on the magazines. I see that on full auto m16s all the time.
Here's hoping for Johnathan to look at FEAR's guns.
i would love to see a video on the guns of squad 44
I second this!
wwww
A good thing would be Squad44 (Post Scriptum), it gets so many things righht, like the lee enfield thumb grip or detaching a clip out of the M1 Garand!
Would love to see a reaction to the guns of Squad44/post scriptum particularly the french and greek factions
Older Call of Duty games (BO 3 and BO 4) have many interesting designs. I think they might be interesting to look at
The fact BO 3 and BO 4 are "older" CoD games now is scary to me
>old
How about Call of Duty 3
@@Thebluebridgetroll I mean that they are from pre mw 2019 cod period. Btw I wrote older not old

I normally wouldn't recommend a demo for this series, but I think Jonathan would get a real kick out of some of the oddball weapons in Sulfur. The Palehorse in particular is gonna make him laugh, I think :P
From what I've noticed the smle is very good for medium to close range combat I've had way more luck with it than using the Mark 4 Enfield as a medium to close range battle rifle I can usually use the Mark 4 as a medium to long range
As an old soldier I loved the LMG (7.62). Hated carrying the thing. Absolutely hated the release catch which used to get caught up in my webbing belt sometimes causing the entire weapon to disintegrate. Not good in the dark in the middle of a wood.
But firing it?
Could hit a mosquito up the backside at 300 yards.
The Jungle carbine used to be in the game but it appears to have been removed with the last udate
Hello there. I hope you’re all having a nice weekend.
It kinda looks like the rounds ejected from the Webley are unfired (still have the bullet in them, not just the casing) 3:34 is a good example
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, is honestly my favorite youtube personality.
Good video. Though there is a small problem with the sound balance on the music bed in the 1st 3rd of the video it is quite loud, almost to the point of interfering with J's speech.
I do hope Jonathan gets to talk about the diverse verdun guns one day.
Also it looked the cylander of the Webly wasn't revolving when it was shot. only when it was being loaded
Perfect Dark, please!!
One of the next games to review guns on should be Pavlov VR. It has many of the weapons in this game with the WWII game modes while also having many modern weapons in the rest of the game with what is in my opinion some of the best weapon mechanics in VR when it comes to operation and interaction with folding/extending stocks, open bolt weapon mechanics, and even how you charge certain weapon systems after reloading them
Could you look at the guns in Enlisted? All of the guns in this video are in that game, as well as a lot of rare & prototype that I’m sure Jonathan would love to see in a game.
Babe wake up, Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, which houses thousands of weapons from throughout history has dropped a new video
If you want to show off a really big gun you could walk it across the camera. It'd be funny for the muzzle break to appear and go off the other side of the screen before Jonathan gets into frame and then goes off frame before the back of the gun.
once again requesting for Jonathan to react to the guns of Cruelty Squad
the No1 MkIII originally wasn't in the game because they wanted to balance the British by giving them a P14 with only 5 rounds but it was wildly historically inaccurate so they conceded and went with the No1 which performs pretty much the same as the No4, just personal preference on what sights you prefer.
Could Johnathan please cover the guns from the Killzone and Resistance series of games? Cheers.
day of infamy would be interesting to compare to this. Especially the bren.
In the webley rewolverthe bulets are still in the casings when reloaded
Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armories in the UK, could you review the guns of Generation Zero?
the weapons are well made and a nice variety, they have some weird sounds and the experimental ones look pretty cursed. the robots have some nice models too. i would really love a pro have a look at them!
Now i wanna watch some Verdun reaction.
Oh 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, how I still wish for you to look at the firearms of the Killzone series. I honestly think you'd have a field day with it.
I’d love to see Ferguson react to the guns of The Finals
Would love to see Johnathon critique the guns from the original call of duty 2 .
