Firearms Expert Reacts To Tommy Gun Clips From Games
Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, reacts to some Tommy Gun gameplay clips from Call of Duty: WW2, Mafia: Definitive Edition, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, King Kong, and TimeSplitters 2.

I wish they could’ve not only shown the Serious Sam Tommy Gun, but also explained that it had (somehow) been “converted” to a 5.56. That might’ve garnered an interest reaction, lol.
I like how this guy understands there are certain limitations to depicting weapons in a game, as well as stylistic choices, and doesn't get all upset when something isn't 100% accurate. Very refreshing from people who demand absolute authenticity.
What I don't get about the M1A1 variant is why they dropped the drum completely instead of doing what the Russians did with the Papa Shah, pre-loading it with a drum magazine and carrying a couple of stick mags for quick reloads if it ran out.
The grateful gratis offer syntactically lock because coat immediately bare above a responsible meal. magical, mundane yacht
Bruh seeing time splitters gave me nostalgia
2:30 check your geometry pls.
do this but with the mp5
The gangsta tommy gun goes brrrrt..the m1 thompson goes rattattat
Tommy gun. Thompson. Chicago typewriter. My little friend
No BLOOD? Smdh
I'm surprised Jonathan didn't talk about how both the Timesplitters 2 Tommy Gun and Mafia Remastered Tommy Guns both seem to fire from a closed bolt, when the gun actually fires from open bolt.
What he said about the M1 Thompson sight is incorrect the top sight is for 100 yards and the bottom sight is for 250 yards… so exactly reversed to what he said… the Game actually got that correct, although that’s with this game almost a surprise.
Can't take weapons seriously in games.
I have a tommy airsoft gun and the funny thing is the barrel is the 1928 but the reciever is the M1A1 which is funny
100 Years of the Tommy Gun.
On Destiny 2 they have the Tommy's Matchbook which is a 100 Round Drum version of the 1921 Thompson. I love the aestetics of that one and it's encouraged to fire from the hip like the mobster way.
3:05 Actually a few M1921's (edit: As well as some M1928's) came with uber-simplified rear sights as well.
The big killer is Mafia 2 and some of the Call of Duty games etc, which feature a M1921-28 with M1/M1A1 receiver (those who know what I mean will get it).
im sad i didnt see any rust game play
One of my all time favorites! Love the Thompson so damn much! Iconic piece of history! Despite the age, medal of honor's and kongs Thompson models are pretty nice and detailed! I remember playing the hell out of that king Kong game and using that Tommy! That game was super rad and had really cool survival elements to it, you playing as Jack most of the way being a standard dude and about 2 hits by a Dino and you're toast! Great stuff and good times! ❤😁👍🏻
Tommy gun in Mafia incorrectly depicted to fire in closed bolt
That King Kong V Rex fight gave me nightmares.
Am I the only one that thought the drum mag and the rectangle mag were different guns?
id be honest as a game dev videos like this where its the same gun from multiple games is alot more interesting cos then you get to hear a more in depth explanation from jonathan on that 1 gun.
The thumbnail has a Thompson
Really need to do an AC Unity Assassins' Creed Unity. I mean like all the more modernish guns, but its cool to see these old ones
the first clips of the tommy gun seem like the recoil isn't accurately depicted. its a .45apc smg and from what I understand is that it has a tendency to have a good bit of muzzle rise.
It's wild to me that they would use an apeture sight as the close range one where you would need to move the gun way more and it's way easier to loose your frontsight and target.
Reloading the Thompson M1 with a stick mag is actually not that difficult and goes very fast. Bolt open on the last round. Mag out, mag in. Ready to go. No Bolt catch or anything to press. Larry Vickers shows that accidentally in his Battle of the Submachines video. Even as a lefty. In the dark that gets more difficult since you can't have a visual where you line up your mag. But in the dark, you can press your thumb on the edge of the mag that you can feel where the T-shape starts, press the thumb against the side of the trigger guard, just below the mag catch, and shove the mag in. Takes a little practice but I can do that very quickly.
6:32 "Patterson!! I won't make it back with this load of Bangalore's unless you gimmie cover!"
Man, haven't thought about Allied Assault in forever. That was a great game back in the day.
Mgs3 the pain
TOMMY GUN!
Synthetik has really cool reload mechanics. 1) you lose ammo you don't load onto the enemy. 2) you have to do a timing minigame to get a nice perfect reload. 3) you miss the perfect reload, you go slower. 4) in an advanced mode, the window for a faster reload is even slower.
It is a 2.5D kind of game though.
Change the spring
I love the m1a1 Thompson sub machine gun!!!
Always got me bricked up whenever i picked up a tommygun in king kong, good times
I was hoping they'd show him the Bioshock craft built Thompson
You guys missed the ASM1. AKA, the future Tommy Gun from CoD Advanced Warfare
I love playing King Kong! It’s what introduced me to the Tommy Gun! 😃
Have this guy react to pavlov vr weapons
And just like that- the GOAT was born
Question: How involved of a job would it be to modify an M1921 Thompson to reduce its cyclic rate from 900 RPM to (say) 600 or 450 RPM (for instance, to make it more manageable when firing)?
I really want him to continue and look at other tommy gun renditions. Cause there are many! He could easily state the inaccuracy in model type with the BFV version using a 20’s gangster style action in the ww2 version, maybe check out the resident evil 4 version, possibly the fairly faithful call of duty world at war rendition, and definitely the bioshock version of the tommy gun.
Could you have jonathan react to roblox phantom forces and/or arsenal? If you need gameplay footage, i would happily provide it. i think it would be really cool and he'd enjoy it
