Firearms Expert Reacts To Cyberpunk 2077’s Guns
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…
They missed an epic chance on this series. Sure the British dude is okay, but the producers should have done this with an American at an American museum of firearms. Then we would not only have an expert on the guns he's talking about, but ALSO and expert on having ACTUALLY used the gun! He could explain recoil, muzzle velocity, the stuff we want to know. Americans already know the guns, but with so much anti-gun talk many younger Americans are being robbed of the opportunity to shoot a firearm. This data is more important in understanding the guns itself. Having a guy talk about a recoil, and having a guy show you recoil are two different worlds. In fact most people would probably be disillusioned when they saw how uneventful a bullet impact, regardless of caliber, is.
We need to see COD Vanguard he’d have a stroke ?
What I actually love of this guy (apart from his smirks and humour) is that he CAN recognise that there are some choices made by developers to keep an in game balance and that it is "fiction". It's clearly refreshing to see after all those experts "reaction" videos.
Yep a beer is the bare minimum I would get for this guy and for sure I will visit the museum and the souvenir shop it has when I will be around Leeds.
I guarantee a .50BMG would severe a limb
I would love him to tell us his favorite guns in videogames. In whatever era, whatever game, whatever reason. Just what his favorite game guns are and why.
6:03 he sounded like a guy who presented a really cool idea but he just got talked over and it hurts my soul
All tactiCOOL reasons aside, the Wick-Flick is also useful bc by flickin your useless empty mag way the hell over there, u end up w one less object on the ground at your feet.
How is there not one of these videos for Halo??
Weapons David spade I love you ?
Jonathan is delightful.
Yeah I'm gonna have to call shenanigans saying a gun can't remove a limb. I've seen video footage that says otherwise.
In the future I guess bullet technology took a big step back and you need 10-20 shots to down any random scrub.
Thanks Jonathan! Good review.
"Steerable" bullets and projectiles always stall in the development stage because it is so difficult to fit the electronic systems in the small size of a bullet and then survive the rather harsh excellaration of being fired. Maybe one day it will be possible, as Jonathan said "in the future".
this game looks terrible
Does Jonathan give Tours in the Museum or is that not part of his Job?
6:26 made me realize hoe familiar my 1st service rifle RK95 TP is to the Galil. Had to look twice since I didn't notice the different magazine and front grip.
Do they show Jonathan all the weapons and he pauses at the interesting ones?
Was curious what he'd think of the Quasar tech revolver, but maybe he didn't think much of it.
Can w all agree that whoever played the game to capture that footage is using a terrible build.
You should always HK slap it. Just because it looks and feels cool. But honestly the fastest way is to just tap it with your thumb as you go to put your hand on the forend. But that doesn't look cool.
call of the wild
Boneworks
Sad face because of no Skippy
gun jesus showed double barrel 12 shot revolvers… why those never come into games? so much lack of imagination
shows future but doesnt have caseless ammo… oh well
They have to have used Neo’s HK slap and the Wick Flick because of Keanu being in the game
I would love to see a review of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's weaponry. The weapons can be seen in 3rd and 1st person view as well as the model viewer which offer a close look at the highly detailed & realistic models. It would be interesting to see what Jonathan thinks of them as there are a lot of guns that are a combination of existing firearms as well as a selection of more fantastical weapons.
Thank You for your work!
I get a vast amount of entertainment from these videos. <3
10:05 I was getting some XM8 vibes from the front end of this rifle

"I imagine theres a choice of buckshot, slug, different ammunition…"
No… No unfortunately this game doesn't go so far as to have thought of different ammo types.
Thanks for the insight
You can tell that this guy played the TTRPG and was sincerely hyped for 2077.
The smaller semi auto shotgun looks quite a bit like a saiga-12U
13:18 all limbs are still present, the leg was just knocked back which could make some sense since it's armoured. Good video though.
So one gun has a reload sequence popularized by Neo, and using what is now called "the Wick Flick"…. in a game with Keanu in it? That has to be intentional
I was hoping he would see the Malorian Arms Pistol… that would’ve driven him bonkers.
3:19 One of Brandon Herrera's nightmares
It's a shame they didn't look at more scifi gun concepts like the Zhuo and the Palica, where they don't even have a traditional barrel. Or the Chao which has metalstorm style barrel that's also the magazine.
13:27 The drug cartels would say otherwise, saw some nasty stuff with shotguns that I wish I could un-see.
why tf is he using gloves?
anyways i dont normally watch these vids but he seemed humane while talking about inhumane weapons.
I miss Akimbo Vectors in MW2, has this game been covered, had some cool weapons
ПУmКА!
Shame they didn't show him anti-tank bullpup rifle.
I saw that revolver in the back, what was that?
Actually about SMG with AK-like looking mag: I immediately thought about Chinese Type 86 instead of Famas. In my opinion much closer to the game
