- Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down iconic Call of Duty Weapons, including the Ballistic Knife, the G11 and the AN94.
The Call of Duty Black Ops franchise has an arsenal full of varied weaponry, many of which are based on guns from our real world.
In the above video, Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery breaks down some of the more bizarre weapons from Black Ops' roster, including the Ballistic Knife, the H&K G11 and the AN94 Avtomat Nikonova. Across the video, Jonathan breaks down the weapons and their in-game functionality, and compares them to their real-world counterparts.

Bro why do I find you in places like this
I agree
I’m surprised the Galil wasn’t mentioned

probably couldnt find one
@@ciko5426 "not iconic" my ass, I know the galil more than most of the other guns in the multiplayer
@@xMrFuzZyKitteH he mentioned the G11 though and he didn’t have one maybe they didn’t think of putting it in the list ?
Probably because mechanically the Galil, (despite being a super duper cool, iconic, and successful rifle) is relatively simple, and the video seems to focus on the more mechanically unusual weapons.
so i'm meant to believe a knife flying at maybe 1/4th the speed of a bullet, is meant to kill me in all the gear i'm wearing, but it takes like 5 bullets from an AK.
Call of Duty logic. Tomahawk handle to the foot or even being punched hurts more than being shot twice with an MP5.

@@potatotablet727 No I know; I was joking; no I agree that the material they analyse is dated ;)
video quality is from 2010 so maybe it was in an archive xddd
@@arbanafal The point I was trying to make was... why are they analysing CoD Black Ops??
Just a bit of additional info on the FAMAS : the gun is completely out of place in the game's 1960s setting. The last mission of the game -in which you start the mission with one- takes place in 1968 while the gun only entered service in the French armed forces in 1979. On top of that, the way it is presented in game with the low carry handle corresponds to the version developped for the Félin program which only started in the very early 2000s. The distinctive handle was lowered as much as possible in order to help with the large high tech scope.
The same with the Enfield. The game it's not explicit about what gun it's. But the SA-80 using his unique scope it's impossible. GB used the fal at that Time
Black Ops did this with a lot of weapons. The Mac 11, Kiparis, Aug, Spas 12, AWM, etc. There were plenty of weapons that would have fit the time period but I guess they wanted iconic weapons?
@@javsRFX The Enfield isn't the SA-80 but the XL-60, an earlier version of the SA80. The SUSAT was developed for the XL-60, and wouldn't entirely be out of character for such a weapon.

8:23 i'm italian. I only wanted to say that raffica in italian means burst, firing like 3 shots with one trigger pull
@Mikel Montalat Beretta is Italian tho, which is why it’s Raffica :)
Probably my favorite pistol of all time. It just looks so crazy and Italian. Beretta is like the Ferrari of the gun world.
"The H&K G-11. Known as a Unicorn Gun."
My good sir, it is called Kraut Space Magic, thank you.
He's not saying the H&K G-11 has a secondary name of "Unicorn Gun" he is using the term "unicorn gun" as a way to describe the rarity of the weapon, as in something so rare you'd have better chances of seeing a real life unicorn before ever seeing that gun. He also used the term for a different gun later on.
@@Eidolon1andOnly it’s a reference to a different video
go back
Err you are aware he knows Ian, he's aware of the nickname for it. So him saying it's a unicorn gun is accurate.
@@murphy7801 Shhhh let me shitpost
bit of a bummer he didn't get to black ops 3 it would have been fun for him to talk about how over-engineered some of the guns are
Edit: wasnt there and smg with a reciprocating barrel? Not sure how impractical that particular example is but if some one could tell me if it was in the replies that would be grea.
I hope they see this comment, this is a good idea
The BRM is a good example. Its ammo box physically bolts together with the gun.
@@AKIS_Proto yeah, good thing guns dont do that sometimes in real life. haha... ha.
Yeah remember the SVG? That thing turns into a decepticon to reload
There are real life SMG's which have reciprocating barrels. It's called a "Short recoil" system and has several benefits over traditional blowback operated systems. It allows you to have a lighter bolt carrier and potentially a shorter bolt travel since the action doesn't open as quickly, and thus the bolt doesn't need to be as heavy or have as long of a travel to slow it down. Overall, this allows the guns to be smaller, lighter, and have less recoil. The disadvantage, though, is that these guns are complicated and expensive to produce compared to straight blowback operation. The most modern example I can think of is the LWRC SMG45, which is the gun the "Stryker" in MW2019 is based off of, and not the UMP45 like so many people mistakenly think.
"What we do have is a very historic piece of wood."
I laughed for about 60 seconds straight.
3:45 forgot to mention the most notable feature of the G11 which has to do a lot with its complexity. It fires caseless ammunition!
This video feels so old yet it's actually new
The low resolution and the fact that he's reviewing guns from the og Black Ops lol
Yeah some of these older videos in the series, it's like, if his camera was a gun it would be a Taurus Raging Bull he bought at a dive bar in Reno.
Well now it's old.

@@williamlindsay3484 some people never learn...
I never in my life realised the b23r has a folded grip
It doesn't.
It appears to just be a weighty rail design. The closest firearm to the B23R is probably the STI handguns with competition features like a flared magwell, lightening cuts, and either a ported barrel or compensator of sorts.
@@AnonEMus-cp2mn Im not sure why but I get the Mag Sec wibe from perfect dark that was sort of based on the Robocop pistol.
PS yes that pistol was actually stupid locked to a 3 round burst from a 9 round mag. and it was a heavy pistol that would miss all but the first shot on any distance shorter then spitting range, (dont recall what it secoundary mode was maybe pistol whip that many pistol had).
The AN94 actually does appear to have the wheel sight of the real gun, but instead of using it they decided to put another AK style rear notch forward on the receiver for some reason. Maybe someone decided the little peep sight didn't work well enough for gameplay or something. But its interesting that it was modelled and then replaced for gameplay.
Gamespot really struck gold with this man
“You would actually have someone carve mock-ups out of wood” is that why the G11 is called the CARV in cold war?
The g11 was the best gun in syphon filter 2.
Update: thanks for the likes!
Did ya know you can get this gun from the very start of the game by parachuting all the way to the ledge above the gi's you first meet? Or under the waterfall gap where you first run into chance?
This man right here wins the internet. Now I have to go replay it, thank you.

Russians: "Shall we develop a knife or a gun?"
Also Russians: "Yes."
Germans: "should we develop a Clock or a Gun"
German Engineers: "Ja."
One more interesting thing about the G11 is the fact that it would never spit any cases. G11 was a caseless ammunition gun, meaning there was no need for reciprocating bolt as there was no shell to eject. This has given the creators freedom in completely rethinking the loading mechanism resulting in that clockwork mechanism shown on screen.
Tell me when they make a Raygun and then I'll be satisfied
The ray gun is actually a real gun. It’s currently in development my US Military, publicly there is a gun called a Zeus Gun, but there are more in development secretly. They already have a real life Ray Gun
3:15 did he say “which is pretty suppressing”? I can’t tell if he said depressing or suppressing 😂
Pretty depressing

Captions and context would point toward depressing
He forgot to mention the G11 uses caseless ammunition, meaning it doesn't eject any shells, which we see in the game too, nice touch!

I wonder when those kids at Gamespot will stop using fast reload perks in their gameplays because our experts are probably thinking that this is a normal reload speed in the game.
Ian at Forgotten Weapons has a show about a G11 - shows the whole workings, very cool. The ammo is caseless to
Hey dying enemy, give me a minute I gotta reload my knife. (Proceeds to lunge into his enemy clinging to life)
G11, KSM (Kraut Space Magic)
I love this guy and how he explains everything. I sent these vids to my son as we play cod together and he loves them too.
Just discovered this guy, sooo glad this is a series
G11 uses caseless rounds, so the only time it ejects rounds is if there is a clambering malfunction, so everything including the primer leaves through the barrel
kinda annoyed that he didnt mention this
@@GrandpaPew Hell, the internal mechanism of the thing is already really interesting considering it's practically a Swiss watch on the inside. All that said, he didn't really focus too much on ammunition.
@@GrandpaPew He might of had but he doesnt control the editing

I like this guy way better than almost all the other so-called "experts" that react to game videos... this man is actually a real expert and is very thorough plus he gives visual examples with his explanations
part 2 to this video would be amazing, especially for more of the black ops 2 weapons.
"or the corpse of your enemy" hahahaha xD

"This is where black Ops starts to diverge from reality"
Pretty much sums up COD after MW2
I was under the impression that the ballistic knife was modelled on the knife used by Spetsnaz units. It was wrongly assumed that such a knife had a ballistic blade capability, when in actual fact the only thing it could fire was a single, small calibre round from its base, effective out to around 25m.
A MOST interesting vid that I've just watched right here!
So glad that he knows how to properly pronounce "Koch". Also, he visited my hometown of Koblenz. Nice.
Was he walking around with his guns strapped on?
@@tootygroody6026 I doubt it. And I did not meet him, I just thought it was neat that this is actually the second gun-related video I've seen where people talk about an exhibit which I have seen myself as well and which happens to be in my hometown.
“Black ops guns”
*proceeds to show a knife in thumbnail*
An interesting note that I'm surprised he didn't mention, is that the main gimmick surrounding the G11 is that it does not eject any shells. What makes it so complex aside from the burst rate is that the firearm is designed to shoot the entire round as 1 projectile with nothing to eject afterwards.
man the audioleveling is relentless in this one lol... turned jonathan all the way up just to be literally thrown across the room when my audio system thought it would be funny to absolutely blast my eardrums with automatic fire from ingame. jiminy christmas
8:40 okay unrealistic gun but I'm more focused on the 2 guys boosting each other.
I’m sure that someone will donate a real G11 to the museum one of these days
The G11 winding mechanism to chamber a round reminds me of the laser guns from Futurama that play "Pop goes the weasel" when you wind them to recharge.
I always saw the b23r as this weird mix of like the externals of a colt 2011 with a split slide and flared magwell, with the internals of the beretta 93r
Lmao the captions censored Koch in Heckler and Koch at 2:15 and at 3:06
The background looks like a school library
oh no
In America it would be suspicious anywhere else.
Gunsmiths and firearms experts invest a lot in physical research.
Don’t be silly he’s not American
That's a pretty cool gun in the thumbnail.
This series is so good!
"Can you keep the noise down, this is a library".
"I'll do what I want".

“Use the corpse of your enemy idk...”💀
In the anime Gunsmith Cats, that’s actually what the person did to reload hers. She’s shot the guy with it and basically jammed the hilt down against the spring. It also showed her having to really shove the hilt down to get it to lock. Given that the creator, Kenichi Sonoda, is a huge gun nerd, I’m not surprised he went for accuracy.
Ian McCollum over on Forgotten Weapons does a very interesting episode on the G11 if you want some more in depth history on the gun and how it works.
I never saw the reloading of the ballistic knife in the game before, had a good chuckle.
But what if they preloaded the springs in the blade and you had 5 of them, im sure you could reload quickly
You have a point, I didn't think of that. If the spring only decompressed after the blade locked. Good idea.
Thing is, if one of these descompresses in storage it will make a mess, and if it descompresses in your pocket it will make a NASTY mess. Also if you need to kill someone at the range this thing is supposed to work just use a pistol, much more reliable, more chances to miss and sometimes even more compact
Larry vickers is a ex delta guy who has detailed videos on most of these guns.
Great video. In Beretta , the correct translation of Raffica is burst and not rapid!
I wondered where this guy was from, and was pleasently surprised to see he was from the Royal Armouries in Leeds, which is were I'm from!
The Cold War reload for this is actually throwing the handle away and pulling out a new knife which is more realistic in a way
I mean in the bo4 version you can make it a pressurized version or something so it makes since as well why its easier to reload
6:26 I never noticed that before. Looks like the gun is broken lol.
A yes, my favorite gun “knife”. The way it fires is just *mwah* . Perfect.

Make this a regular series!
The AN-94 was my go to gun in black ops two back when that was the new game. Such nostalgia.
"press it against the wall *or the corpse of your enemy* or something"
The best G11 I've seen in a game was in Global Operations. The hyperburst is actually implememted, though at a ridiculous price that frankly just isn't worth it.
That game was in many ways years ahead in modelling guns.
The AN is real ?! Wow I actually had no idea.I loved this video
Hearing him tear apart the balisti knife was great
He looks like he's showing off his guns in his local library
Well they aren’t his and I wouldn’t be surprised if the public isn’t allowed in that library
Yep. Bring him back for another FPS
Jon: what it's clearly inspired by is the Berretta 93 R *picks up pistol*
Me: That's the Raffica from MW2
Jon: the R standing for "Raffica"
Me: yup xD
Those G11 rifles remind me of those old standing clocks that are a maze of cogs and springs. It must be a nightmare to maintain them though and reliably do repairs in the field. Imagine having to fix a jam or problem with the cogs or something.
Flashbacks of smoking whole lobbies with dual B23Rs. Good times.
why does he have weapons in a library lmao did you notice
That's files. It's not a library
not a library , files like what the other guy said. probably files on different types of guns and all their specs and stuff. He works for a organization that collects and researches and studies guns throughout history
That's the offices of the NFC of the Royal Armouries, where this was filmed. A lot of those files will be reference copies of manuals, development notes and field testing reports for the collection of firearms they have.
