- Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the weaponry of Cyberpunk 2077 and tries to figure out how the guns might work in real life.
Cyberpunk 2077 may be set in an alternate sci-fi future, but it’s still armed to the teeth with a load of fictional sci-fi weaponry: guns that have taken inspiration from real-world sources.
In the above video, Jonathan Ferguson--a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries--breaks down the guns of Cyberpunk 2077 and compares them to their potential real-world counterparts.

"The game says it's a submachinegun who am I to argue?"
Guy behind the camera.
"A firearms expert, Jon... it's the reason we hired you..."
🤣🤣🤣
Pdw?
A lot of firearms can have fuzzy classifications - show one guy a weapon without any documentation on it, he might call it a PDW, another guy might call it an SMG, a third guy might call it a carbine.
Take the M4 carbine from today, give it to a 1950s U.S. Army armorer, and he'd likely classify it as a sub-machinegun. To him, rifles that men carried into war were the M14, which was itself a derivative of the M1 Garand that said armorer probably learned to fire as a rifleman himself back in Dubya-Dubya Two.
@@ShadowDragon8685
Honestly I always forget the M4 is classified as a carabine and not a rifle since it shares the same ammo and barrel as the M16. But is lighter.
I always say the M4 is a rifle :p
However guns classifications also change between countries. Here in France, a semi automatic pistol, like a G17 or a 1911, is called an automatic pistol. Even if they can't fire in auto
@@TheKenji2221 That reminds me, why wouldn't the m16a3 or m16a4 have an m203? Why don't they use m203s anymore?
I like this guy. “It is fiction after all” what most experts that react to video games choose to ignore.
BRILLIANT
He's considering why something that's stupid in real life actually makes a lot of sense in a video game, and vice versa.
This dude rocks
Well said
Jim Jo
Well to be fair a lot of games based themselves around the premise that they ARE realistic, at least to some degree; cyberpunk makes no such claim, it’s not even in the present.
Well the whole point of having an expert is to explain the realism and point out what's wrong not to just say it's just a game and ignore it what's the point in having an expert anyone could tell you that.
The ingame lore tab for the pulsar even admits that it looks like “someone first dismantled your typical machine gun, then had a blindfolded kindergartener mash it back together.”
That is hilarious
@@stubbornspaceman7201 And correct XD
I do love how Cyberpunk acknowledges that a lot of it's arsenal is overdesigned nonsense. Very fitting for both the setting and a good excuse to have weirder looking gun designs.
A developer should hire this guy to help design guns. He's got cool ideas and knows his stuff.
To be honest I don't think developers are having any trouble making interesting concepts for guns, but they could definitely consult with someone like him to ask if they could theoretically work.
@@gamesdeen3768 a few devs have already consulted him actually
AFAIK Arma 3 had an actual gun company design stuff for them.
I'm not a firearms expert and even I'm put off by the gun designs in the game. What's the lump of metal doing under the barrel of all the pistols in the game? Why're all the submachineguns shooting rifle ammo? Why do rifle rounds do less damage than pistols rounds? And the list goes on.
@@hschan5976it’s not meant to be realistic. Pistols do more damage than assault rifles so that players can use pistols if they want to, in this setting where most characters are criminals using whatever guns they think are cool or what they have access to. If it does really annoy you, maybe look for a mod that makes combat more realistic, if such a mod exists.
He even mentioned a gun in the original TTRPG, this guy either does his homework for videos or he already was into Cyberpunk in the first place, either way he's fucking awesome
He reacted to the gun trailer already. It's why he knew about the shotgun already and brought up the historical pistol because he actually guessed correctly that it shot an electromagnetically accelerated slug even though it has an old-school appearance. I bet that trailer definitely piqued his interest in the game
no, its just that the the ttrpg also uses existing guns
@@tamacat920 9:55. He brings up it was in the TTRPG. If he knows that, it suggests, like OP said, he either really did his homework, or he has a deeper interest in it.
i just love to see them inviting people that are expert and plays video games
Ooo.

But he definitely keeps up to date. Even gaming wise.
Well I guess its just he's being British. They tend to be confusingly euphemismic
@@pureintroverted9304 what?
he should have said "not even the museum can afford to always have stuff that is up to date"

This guy was perfect for this, not only knew his firearms but pop-culture associations too.
Definitely I struggle with many experts react type videos even though love concept but he is just perfect for them. He knows enough about gaming and the industry and a ton on guns (where he works is amazing, I hope to visit again some time) but he also accepts and even seems to publicly enjoy the artistic liberties taken by games, rather than complaining and using it to flex their knowledge on their specialty. Jonathan actually just shows he is smart naturally
Except for the whole... Gun based on a groza.... Being Called a famas by this 'gun expert'
@@OryXity Groza isn't well known in the UK I've found - even amongst people otherwise very knowledgable on firearms. Until BF4 I had no idea it even existed.
@@Rroff2 still, he doesnt even point out the difference between the famas' nato style straight mag and the cyberpunk guns curved ak mag (but he brings it up for the ak smg thing)
He is for sure a gamer . He is always referencing balance in games and why they do certain things . He's the perfect guy for bridging the gap between games and reality
13:16 If you go frame by frame (comma and dot keys) you can actually see that the shot gun DID NOT take off a limb. It just looked that way, because the shin went up very fast. You can see the limb still attached when the body lies still on the ground.
To be fair, limbs can come off in the game from shotgun hits.
Indeed, I noticed that too. I suspect dismemberment was disabled for the purposes of keeping this video at least a little bit family-friendly. Those kinds of shots would definitely dismember people in the game normally.
how do i do that on mobile?
@@itscznben8728 I dont know of any method to go frame by frame on mobile :(
@@itscznben8728 Grab the video bar and while holding, swipe up.
12:08 nobody gonna appreciate him from loading that mag so smoothly?
Get this guy reacting to Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades! Will be interesting to see his take on video game guns that are actually handled in a manner closer to real firearms instead of just "press R to reload". I actually had to Google how to reload an MP5 since I was looking for a button near the grip to drop the magazine and couldn't find one!
hell yeah, I love H3VR
Then do it with Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
I would love to see him play that and not just watch it too
I bet he will feel right at home
Agreed, but it's going to be hard to find footage/have him play, while showing off all the functions of the firearms. Things like a single action army going off when dropped or the spas 12 switching between pump and semi-auto won't necessarily be shown in pure gameplay. and if he plays it himself, he may not be familiar with all of the controls on the trackpad (e.g. holding your right thumb on trackpad left, and flipping up/down to simulate the slide release)
I'd love for him to take a look at Insurgency: Sandstorm.
Yes yes yes!!!
Takarov vs Sandstorm would be interesting
What about Borderlands?
That and maybe squad
@@friendlycrusader2394 Yeah, Squad would be cool too.

not gonna lie, this guy is pretty damn cool.
the only thing cool about this game is the story everything else is a buggy mess
with everything from pore AI to bad and missing animations and text
there's almost nothing to do that doesn't involve killing
also it seems like over half the game is missing
i mean what is with the beginning motoge that seems like its only their to replace a missing chunk of the game where we spend more time with jackie getting to know him his mom and some of the other fixers before jackie dies that would have given more weight to his death
also why can we buy BDs but cant watch them and it's not like they just go to your junk slot like the records you find everywhere so what happened to the BDs
their are arcade cabinets but you can't interact with them
the came also haves so many exploits that you can't help but accidentally run across them like accidentally duplicating jonny silver hands jacket and glasses that you can't do anything with and permanently take up weight in you inventory
the only other thing that is cool about this game is its return policy right now because it is so broken it makes no man sky and fallout 76 look like perfectly completed and polished games when they launched

When we was talking about the shotgun, it didn’t actually remove the limb in game. Just blew it backwards
Yeah I thought that‘s what happened first time too, I think it‘s that her wearing red trousers, and the very short view of blood shooting out below her now bent-back knee makes it look like her leg came off.
I love how this guy gives his professional opinion all while appreciating the fact that these are just all games in the end. I would love to see him talk about Insurgency Sandstorm.
Jonathan seems really cool, I'd reckon there are a lot of people watching this who would love to have a beer with him
GunJesus does.... They even write books simultaneously
You must be the dude that he referenced at the end!
He kinda looks a little bit like the older version of doctor who
Don't want to have a beer with him. Would like to go to the range with him!
Honestly, most people with any type of museum job like this are really cool to talk to because they REALLY love what they do. I should not know the name Irving Finkel, but he just gets so jazzed about cuneiform and talks about it so lovingly that I actually actively seek him out.
4:48 "And I imagine there's a choice of buckshot, slugs, different ammunition."
I wish. Ammo system in the game's so simple that a .45 pistol, a railgun-revolver firing ball bearings, and a homing gyro-rocket pistol all pull from the same pool. No room for variant ammunition there.
What's the point of having an ammo system in a shooter if all the ammo is the same?
Lmao really?
You need to play Escape from Tarkov
You can only carry so much ammo in this game. If every gun required different ammo, as it should be irl, you'd either have too much ammunition, or not enough.
@@kikosawa Fallout pulls it off very well
I learned during my mandatory service in the german army that you shouldn't do the "HK slap" because it's simply to loud (e.g. if you load your weapon when waiting in a hideout). On the other hand, once the shooting started it doesn't really matter. :)
I like how he is considerate of the game and that it is a fantasy/futuristic game so he isnt saying like this is wrong and that is wrong
He seems to be into games as well so he gets that some things are done for gameplay and balance reasons

@@Maxz85 for real?? Well, that's effectively a review of less than half the game.
Shame he didn't take a look at Skippy, for example the reloading characteristic "thanks choom"
I acquired that gun not too long ago. I laughed a lot at the reference to a certain annoying office assistant.
The fuckin' gun has a free trial of auto-aiming the enemy head which is hilarious

@@SnowWolf75hehe ur not funny
Also no Widowmaker
despite the mixed reception of cp2077, every time i see footage of it i am constantly reminded that the music slaps.
Why didn't you show him Johnny Silverhand's handgun and his double-twirl reloading technique ??
A really good gun to show too is the disposable vending machine pistol
Guess maybe cuz it’s kind of a spoiler if you haven’t gotten that far in the story. Not the biggest spoiler but for those who don’t wanna see it it’s good for them
or... jee williker batman... ANY sniper rifle?
and the Overwatch, it's literally a sniper riffle that shouts trough walls and have a silencer (in this case, silencer is the right term) on it.
@thedog556 Yeah they literally made a plastic machine pistol you get from a vending machine that you have to pull a tag off to fire and it only has one clip.
Notice the way he reacted to the shotgun to the knee? This may seem like an over-reaction for those of us in America, but "Knee-capping" is culturally seen as absolutely horrifying in the UK amongst people his age. Reason being, The IRA/Irish Republican Army... They were known for shooting British soldiers in the knees, something that will leave you ruined for life, and is excruciatingly painful. So much so, that the scene in Terminator 2 where Arnold knee-caps a guard and says "He'll live" was an INCREDIBLY controversial scene at the time of the film's release!
Damn cool trivia thx!
Very intriguing!
Wonder how John Reese from Person of Interest would be received...
So basically "I used to be a soldier like you, then I took a shotgun to the knee"?
well at least in cyberpunk they could get a new leg, if they could afford it.
Never heard of IRA shooting British soldiers in legs (it wouldn't be that easy), but I've heard a lot that it was form of "marking" and was used on drug dealers (and probably on traitors but I'm not sure they weren't simply killed)
When he was talking about the smg with the "HK Slap", I'm surprised that he didn't mention how the handle locks in the opposite direction than the ump. With the normal gun, you pull the handle back and move it upward to lock it in place, but the cyberpunk version moves downward to lock, making it impossible to slap it in the way the animation suggests. In the clip at 11:56, you can obviously see the player pulling the handle downward when reloading, then slap it downward again to chamber it, which doing so in real life would only result in hurting your own hand.
13:30 It's really scary what kind of devastating damage a shotgun does. Saw a video online that depicted a guy who survived being shot in the face by a shotgun. It will haunt me forever.

"Reality is less horrific and also more horrific."
Mess you can clean. Crippling won't go away.
The shotgun to the knee still can keep your knee working to some degree. It will hurt like hell, will probably itch constantly, you'll need the braces, but it's still not the same as having no leg at all.
One thing people generally don't tell you about is how hard you have to try to keep non-biological parts from causing complications.
For example, that very advanced, not peg leg, but still crude mechanic leg? It uses overly complex mount and support system to allow you to get yourself through one day and still be able to do something on another. It still requires perfect hygiene, damper replacements, a lot of different salves and busy day will still get you water or even blood filled blisters that will put you out of comission for 2-3 days. And skimping on hygiene will quickly translates into festering. I hope you don't mind the smell which will probably destroy your reputation and render you repulsive to everyone.
I knew a guy who took a bullet in the mouth (Grand theft auto went wrong). This made a mess of his jaw and at that kind of damage and scarring it was simply physically impossible to keep that part clean (Trust me, he tried hard. Constantly bled for that and went through mouthwash faster than a fatman goes through his coke). He couldn't get at peace with the new smell. Other couldn't too. In the end he was left alone and this led him to commiting [comment/channel removal].
the most realistic shotgun blast to the leg at point blank range was in - oh lord forgive me - call of duty.
Black Ops 2 to be exact
it completely massacred wood's legs so he could not use them anymore but didn't blow them off.
@@burningsinner1132 Thanks for that context.
The shotgun never blew off the leg, its still connected the force of the blast must of just shot the leg back and the person fell over do to it
@@anthony-jr3615 yeah. Since that was more or less a Borg I'm pretty sure the leg was armored up enough so it can withstand a shotgun blast without shattering.
It makes a lot of sense, from a design stand point, to make the assault rifles and submachine guns look similar. In a functioning urban area you'll have to deal with both open and closed environments, so you want a gun that's helpful in both situations (longer smgs and bullpup assault rifles in other words)
Honestly, Jonathan is the best 'expert' reacter I've seen so far, not only is he infredibly knowledgable in his field, but he also knows games and gaming enough to get context and stylistic deviation in design.
This is the kind of talent Gameology needs more of.
I agree, and the second best is the sniper that reviewed Battlefield 3 sniper mission. He's not a gamer but understands it's a work of fiction and acts accordingly.
Totally. I love this guy.

"Quite the 80s look to it."
Kind of the point. This is imagining 2077 from the lens of the 80s.
Retrofuturism is a beauty.
I mean, that's literally the definition of Cyberpunk. No need to bring "retrofuturism" into it, the genre that the game's named after is specifically about the dystopian future as envisioned in the 80s. Emphasis on the dystopian part.
@@neruneri Retrofuturism is a blanket term for taking the viewpoint of the past to imagine a future setting.
Steampunk, cyberpunk, dieselpunk, atompunk, etc. are all retrofuturism when they take place in a time period that was to the future of their respective "origin" years. They are all basically settings where the super-advanced tech is all black boxes, but they have the outward appearance and usability of the gadgets of their target eras.
@@Tounushi You're both right. He's saying it's unnecessary, it's like saying "there was a mammalian badger." all cyberpunk is retrofuturist!
funny you would say that. the devs quite clearly said that to change things around they went for more of a 90s look. ye. i wanted 80s, everyone wanted 80s. probably devs wanted 90s, what we got was...glitchy 2020s.
retrofuturism is perfectly fine term if you have some basis behind it. say you have that shotty from cyberpunk. clearly its a double barreled inefficiency of the old times (retro), powered by electricity propelling the shells (futurism). both features by themselves mean jack shit, the combination of them arrive at something recognisable from multiple spheres/genres/whatever. It works.
Love retrofuturism. But I think the body modification part of cyberpunk is actually a really good prediction since it could happen.
This was awesome!! hopefully you guys do a part 2, there are a lot of other cool guns in cyberpunk, specifically some dope snipers and LMGs I like to use!
I love how this guy’s entire motto is “If it’s realistic then brilliant, but at the end of the day it’s a game so if it’s cool it does it’s job properly”

This guy is kind of awesome. Most historians, weapons specialists don't get video games and he seems to be quite familiar with game design as well. Very cool. Hope to see more with him.
Fantastic episode. In your UMP analogy, don't forget that the sci-fi firearm also closely resembles the SITES Spectre. You can even see how the magazine shares design elements with the casket magazines found on the real steel version.
The fact that the guy playing didnt once shoot through a wall with a tech wepon to show what that charge is for seems like an oversight
I’m personally pretty sure the “Pulsar” bullpup smg was inspiring by the similar looking rifle from the original Ghost in the Shell. Kinda looks like a P90 with an AK mag.
One of the smart pistols is the absolute spitting image of the Seburo C25 A from the managa.
@@AlanGChenery wait a sec, wasnt the c25 not the p90 style submachine gun? I think the pistol is the seburo m5, but has been a while since I watched the show. and yeah, there are definitely influences, although the pistol in cp77 carries a way bigger round with a smaller magazine. Also the quasar is influenced by the silenced pistol in the very first deus ex design wise, but I think it was also already in the original cp 2020 if I am not mistaken.

Why do u guys know this much about guns?
@@martini1094 I personally find their mechanical workings interesting. Not to mention, knowing about how to use them safely and responsibly can only benefit you.
The TKB is an early-game rifle in "Phantom Doctrine," which is like XCOM, *but with Cold War spies*.
Jonathan, interesting historical note: the old M-16A1 rifles, when first introduced to the Vietnam conflict, had straight 20-rd magazines. I have seen combat footage of a platoon fighting VC soldiers in the jungle and one soldier would hold down the mag release button and flick the rifle. The magazine flew straight out. I haven't seen them do it with later versions because they upgraded it to 30-round curved magazines. I tried this with an AR knockoff and couldn't do it. I don't know if it's caused by the now-common use of polymer as it tends to be a bit "sticky" when you try to remove it. I honestly am not sure if you can flick the 30-round mag out if it was the old metal version.
This dude even knows about the original Cyberpunk pen & paper boardgame.
This is the type of experts I hope we get more of. They judge realism but also take game design into account

I noticed there is a Mateba MTR-8 on the table in the background. A shame we didn't get to see that up close, seen them before but I always enjoy seeing them whenever I can. There are only ten MTR-8 autorevolvers that exist in the US, so it's always fun to see them. There is an obvious copy of the autorevolver in Cyberpunk, and I personally would have liked to have seen it discussed.
I was hoping to hear tour opinion on the slaught-o-matic disposable gun from cyberpunk. It’s more of a curiosity than a viable combat option in game, but an interesting concept.
the guns were awesome, but this man is even more awesome, he's really cool...
I'm impressed that he knew about the TKB-022, that is some obscure knowledge. German Koroborov made some really cool weapon designs, though the TKB-022 was the only one that went to official trials to replace another gun I think.
I feel like they should do another Cyberpunk 2077 vid, since there are alot of sight mods and such. Either way, Jonathan is my 1st go-to on CZcams atm, dude's brilliant and I just want more!
The HK slap has a great intimidation factor. :)
Even knowing the (A)G3 we used in the Norwegian army was empty, the sound of one or several soldiers slapping the leaver down certainly gets your attention.
This is also the entire appeal of using a pump shotgun over something less fiddly for home defense.
Hunt: Showdown, please.
The attention to detail there is amazing!
Yessir
Laughs in Avtomat lol
I would seriously like to hear what he thinks about that humongous gun
@@LaTanaDiKosky that one is basically a real gun, its just not a mosin
I love that in cyberpunk there are different reload animations if your weapon is empty or not
these videos are by far the best on this channel
Wow You are so humble I have never seen this before,man you are amazing
Man we made so many comments on how he said "pausing" that hes self conscious and won't say it again! Damn you all
"And I imagine there is a choice of different ammunition"
Yeah... we all imagined there would be...
He was probably referring to the fact that railguns allow for a wider variety of ammunition, the only requirements being they can fit into the barrel and are ferromagnetic.
@@gloriouslumi In the gameplay 2 years back they talk about different ammos
@@Abbandoneer instead they went with effects that can be applied by various mods similar to other rpgs. Burn, shock, poison, etc.
i want to see his reaction to the insanity that is ultrakill
Another awesome video, thanks. I could listen to you all day talking about video game weapons, so interesting. I have also donated to say thanks!
Dude, this is the most wholesome breakdown of firearms I have ever seen. Please have Jonathan on more! I'd love to see him tackle Perfect Dark or Destiny just to see where inspirations come from.
Perfect Dark my goodness, what a game that was, still is.
11:10 Using the UMP to make a Neo and John Wick reference. Nice.
I've generally been impressed with the weapon details in this game and how feasible they are (compared to say, Borderlands) - but now I can't un-see that the charging handle for the UMP-like gun locks down - not up like the real one - which means you'd have to slap in an upward motion to release it - not down. The animation doesn't physically work.
@@dhoffnun yeah.. -_________-
One thing is that the addition of big impractical hand cannons can make sense in cyberpunk given how common armour is.
Its quite common for people that have cyberware to have either completely artificial armoured skin, or subdermal armour. The ability to pack a whole lot of muzzle energy into a "relatively" small package (e.g. not needing to pull out an assault rifle) could be worth it.
I really like his approach, coz he knows that in the game some gun's features are removed (or added) to help with the gameplay.
I'm disappointed you guys didn't include the Malorian. It's such an interresting firearm.
Would be interesting to hear his opinion on Johnnys technique
Cyberpunk 2077 Expert Reacts to Real Life’s Firearms.
0:41 "sauvi are you winning" *INTENSE FLASHBACKS OF "ARE YOU WINNIN SON?*
I love how this dude isn't grounded in reality and is into the idea of fictional guns.
@1:00
“It’s very hard to make a shotgun look sci-fi.”
Kel Tec says hello lol.
Pancor gives a casual wave
btw the lexington (first gun, the machine pistol) is stated in game to fire .45 ACP
I love this guy. Been watching him for like 3 hours today. Amazing guy.
"And I imagine there is a choice of buckshot, slug, different ammunition"
I fucking wish this game was that in depth...
There actually is but you have to invest into crafting skill tree which is probably the most useless out of them all.
@@gombar325 the strongest weapons and armor ingame are iconic ones which you need to upgrade to legendary tho. I always invest 18 point on crafting in my 2 playthrough
@@brianr.6376 I started to invest points into crafting now but I still find other skill trees so much better.
@@gombar325 other skill tree is more fun, not necessarily more useful. When money glitches is fixed, crafting will be godsend. But i am interested in doing cold blood + mantis blade build, seems fun.
@@brianr.6376 I have no idea what the money glitches do or how they do it, but i must say reflex with guns/swords or full netrunning builds sounded more fun than crafting even on paper just reading out the perks on my first playthrough.
I remember first seeing the “Wick flick” in cod ghosts with the honey badger
Its rather old, I would say 2008-2009. But I forget the sources that made it start circulating as a 'tacticool' reload technique. It was around that time when people still thought throwing as many attachments on a gun as possible was better than just the few necessities.
The most extreme case of "homing" bullets I've seen was, of course, in anime, wherein the bullets were shot to the side, and then, from what I could see by the tracer streaks, made 90 degree turns. What's more realistic than bullets making 90 degree turns would be a 2-stage bullet, where the 2nd bullet, with the tracer thing, is fired off from the 1st one backwards at a 45 degree angle to create the appearance of tracer rounds making 90 degree turns, but since the person shooting these impossible bullets wasn't hiding behind or even near any sort of cover, it would've made even more sense for them to just shoot straight at their target.
I would love to see more of Cyberpunk weapons looked at, they're a ton of them that are amazing like the snipers
This entire video I was just staring at that first pattern fg42 hoping he’d pull it up for a closer look
Can't imagine how hard would be for him make this video like ''Well, all arms in this game are fictional af, what do i take to the recording room to compare them? ah, yes the old famas''
There is two things I love the M1 garand ping and the HK slap is so satisfying to hear two of those weapons sound
They should have shown Skippy just for the laughs.
