Firearms Expert Reacts To Cyberpunk 2077 Weapons Trailer

fun fact lightsabers are accualy cold until they touch surface

He immediately looks unamused

I think Jonathan feguson should start his own channel.

Well,4 gauge means never having to say you're sorry!???

Mass effect touch on this topic pretty well, the idea of reloading a weapon seems obvious because unlimited ammo sounds unrealistic but the idea of creating a gun that fires out slivers of a metallic elements able to shave off a couple layers of atoms to use as a projectile make a lot of sense understanding the volume of matter available to be used effectively.

Anyone else immediately think of Gavin the second you heard gubbins

Pooooose

Should be noted that in Cyberpunk 2077 the US is also effectively a third world country, so it doesn't have the highest tech options available

Vipers in the background!

4:12 I see a couple of issues with that thermal katana, other than it cauterizing the wounds, for one, if that glowing blade is made of some type of heated metal, that wont cut, because at that colour heat its just gonna be too soft and any edge it might have will get ruined after a single hit, and even if you dont hit anything with it, after heating a blade to that colour, regardless of how sharp and hard it was before, that too is now ruined, unless you were to cool it down the exact right way every time and put it through the proper heat treating process after.
Secondly, even if that glowy bit does manage to cut, the thicker piece behind it will just get stuck on whatever youre hitting and stop the cut completely.

Jonathan is so fucking calming to listen to. Knows his stuff and isn't so fact driven that he gets upset when guns don't work accurately nowadays. LOVE THESE VIDS

It’s steel cause it’s cheaper for the Corp. distopian future remember.

Yeah that "pump shotgun" looks more like a China lake then an 870.

This game had so much potential. Still a great game but could have been so much more

The Carnage shotgun looks more like 40mm China Lake Grenade Launcher to me the a conventional shotgun,

The one thing I'd like to point out- Although I am unsure if you'll see this, is that as a Sci-fi setting there are certain internal consistency bits to consider.

Like, in this setting, even common street wear is made out of bullet resistant materials and future tech nonesense. No one just wears cotton anymore because it's really just that dangerous to just walk down the street. Certain types of cybernetic enhancements are also pretty common, like subdermal armor. Unsurprisingly, this leads to a lot of future guns being large caliber and high energy.

To clarify ingame terms- Tech weapons all use magnetic accelerators. Yeah, that'd include the Nekomata.

Smart guns are, in fact, bullets with guidance systems. They actually talk about it in some of the in game codex's. Basically, the guns computer networks with your own cybernetics to select targets and guide projectiles. If you're wondering, you do need some specialized cyberwear to get good results.

You mentioned that a thermal Katana shouldn't be any better than a steel one- That's even true in game. It's mostly for cool factor, although, there are some edge cases where the target is particularly vulnerable to heat. (Not really relevant, but in game I'd still recommend pretty much any steel katana over any 'exotic damage" type katana. Drones have a tendency to explode when you hit them with their weakness, electricity, and so being close to them while that happens is inadvisable, plus, heat is only useful against a couple things, but is weak against others.)

Fun fact: the atmosphere around the sun is mostly hotter than the surface of the sun
