Steel in the context of a shotgun enhanced in this way would be fine but for rifles the outer layer would still need to be something that could be compressed to engage the rifling so such munitions would likely be steel core, or perhaps a saboted steel projectile. Of course in this universe having armor implanted under your skin and metal bones is a thing, so steel core armor piercing munitions may not only be normal but necessary.

In another gaming channel, which I won't name, they get experts to react to gaming stuff, but they just sit the expert there and watch the gaming footage without giving them any context, so a lot of times, the expert couldn't really react properly or you just know that they'd be able to give more insight if they knew the context more.

    When I saw 'Her Majesty', my first thought was the HK Mk.23 with the bulky front mounted laser sight/flashlight unit and the suppressor, especially given that likely the most famous digital incarnation of the Mk.23 is as Solid Snake's SOCOM pistol in the Metal Gear series, and the themes of espionage and conspiracy that are iconic in Metal Gear and central to Phantom Liberty, I thought it was a bit of a nod to Metal Gear since the two pistols seem to fulfill similar roles as being the firearm of choice for a secret agent/special forces operative deep in enemy territory with little to no back-up.

    If I'm not mistaken that large rectangle under the tech shotgun is probably a battery, but it requires capacitors to create a high enough current. Those 12 little squares strapped to the barrel are probably those capacitors. I think the game uses animation on them to show the capacitors recharging (because in reality capacitors don't really look all that cool or fancy). So basically I think that gun is a hand held railgun that uses propellant from the shells to assist the acceleration of the slugs? That's the only reason I can imagine such a gun would have recoil.

So you load the helical magazine on top and it uses the canister on the bottom to store some sort of gas propellant and the battery then gives the propellant a shock to ignite and send your bullet hurtling along.

    I always like your videos anyway (especially compared to some other 'experts' who make no attempt to understand what they're looking at) but this one especially you really go above and beyond to try to understand the how and why of a particular weapon's characteristic and functionality. The best kind of analysis of fiction is trying to understand the world decisions first, rather than going straight to picking holes in it, and I (as a fiction writer) appreciate that.

    I haven't played it, but my reasoning for merging revolving chambers and a grip magazine is to lower the bore axis. The magazine feeds the rounds into the top chamber, the chamber then rotates so that the round is fired from extremely low bore axis and there you go: magazine capacity of a modern pistol, recoil mitigation of a Mateba/Chiappa revolver.
    Seing how much power that thing has, I believe compensating for recoil that way would be a valid, if not unconventional and overengineered way to go about it.

      @@leMercenaire667 Not if there is a pistol grip with a trigger mechanism in front of it, no. The barrel will always be on top of your hand. With a bottom barreled revolver it will run parallel to your pointer for good recoil control.

    2:09 I'm guessing the in-game shotgun is a normal shotgun, but with electromagnets added to give it the additional functionality of a coilgun/MAC gun. Those arrays of greeblies are magnetic coils that accelerate the projectile to lethal speeds... or they would if it wasn't already a shotgun. Instead, I'm guessing that they increase the muzzle velocity from a normal 12-gauge buckshot payload's MV all the way to some kind of hypsersonic velocity. Gunpowder make pellets go fast, magnet assist pellets go *even faster!*
    It would work in 2 stages, with the rounds firing probably tripping a perpendicular bore laser that sends a signal to the gun's onboard computer to begin the magnetic acceleration process of the added-on coilgun parts.
    "But it's just buckshot, made of lead; it's not magnetic enough to be affected by something like this."
    I know that lead isn't magnetic, *but,* the wadding very much could be some magnetic material instead of plastic - and thus highly receptive to the forces exerted by the coils.
    Basically just shotgun + coilgun = shotgun but the pellets fly faster & hit harder.

    Haven't played the game, but just from looking at that shotgun I think I can piece together its history.
    The base gun is probably a retro thing, a cyberpunk take on a classic coach gun. It's the kind of thing you sell to folks who want some western flavor in their neon-lit street battles.
    The electric parts look like later additions to make it a two-stage weapon. Standard chemical propellant to get the payload moving, sequenced coils to accelerate it past the point of sanity.

  • @ArtiRua
    @ArtiRua Před 7 měsíci

    I think the Mettle might be using the cylinder as a means of using more powerful rounds than what maybe ordinary pistol architecture can take. More punch but in the assembly of a pistol and revolver hybrid. The cylinder loads a round in the bottom as youre firing the one up top and as it spins it ejects the old casing and loads up a new one.

  • @nguyenanhle9534
    @nguyenanhle9534 Před 6 měsíci

    I think how the Metel works is that the bullet is pull from the mag to the lower chamber of the cylinder then it is cycled to the upper barrel ready for firing. After the bullet is shot, the catridge is extracted from the back by the luger lever, then the cylinder cycles putting the bullet in the lower chamber to the barrel again. Don't know the advantage of this mechanism though.

    The Luger/Revolver pistol could work on the principle that the is only 2 "Chambers in it. So, all the Toggle is doing is extracting the top chamber and then loading the next round into the bottom. So, as it fires the toggle extracts the top empty casing, the cylinder rotates the bottom cylinder to the top, then the toggle closes loading a new round into the now empty bottom chamber and hooking the extractor on the top chamber which has an empty casing in it. Gun will fire from the bottom chamber in this scenario.

    Silly thought: what's better than taking out the magazine safety so you can fire the one shot in the chamber if you get interrupted while reloading? Putting a whole revolver between the magazine and the barrel so you can fire up to six chambers if you get interrupted while reloading!
    Probably more like four out of six chambers, with an extractor linked to the bolt taking the empty from the previous shot out each time it's fired.

  • @ralcogaming7674

    @Jonathan, all the 'electric' type weapons in this video are 'tech weapons' in-game, meaning that they function via electromagnetics. Like railguns or coilguns.
    Single-shot electromag weapons charge up to shoot through walls, but anything like an smg or assault-rifle is single-shot when uncharged, and full-auto/burst-fire when charged.
    Not sure how that's supposed to work, but that's how it is.

    I always assumed the revolver section of that pistol, served more as a cooling and ejection system, so they load from the magazine in the grip into the cylinder. which fires and cycles, to the next round. due to the nature of the rounds needs to cool off. and they have worked out that every three rounds is optimal to maintain a constant rate of fire of HE rounds without cooking the gun itself. but thats science fiction for you.
