Firearms Expert Reacts To Battlefield 5’s Guns
Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the weaponry of Battlefield 5, including the FP-45 Liberator pistol, the Boys AT Rifle, and the M3 Carbine complete with Infrared Sniper Scope.
Battlefield V sees EA’s shooter franchise…
It really bothers me most that the scope on the garand seems to come directly up to your eye like a hunting scope, when in reality it's pretty far from the face and the sight picture would be nothing like that
Where can i buy his book
I actually despise the fleigerfaust every time I bomb an objective I get shot at by about 5
after watching the vanguard video, customization in this game is actually not that extreme lol
still has better guns than vanguards customization
The Germans loved bling. Look at Goring's guns! A common solider with a blinged out stg would have been extatic.
Can you do enlisted?
Good one. Keep it goin!
So, what do we have to do to get a reaction to the guns in the borderlands franchise? :L
he shoude take a look at payday 2 wepons
Surprised he didn't point out that the reload for the type 11 was just wrong. You don't remove the whole hopper.
So the US dropped thousands of liberator pistols all over occupied europe? Genius
I loathe BF Voke but I do enjoy Jonathans informative weapons breakdown. Highly entertaining,
The speeds, altitudes and rigidity of aircraft in all BF games are nerfed to the utmost in order to make them balanced and able for any ground unit to combat and potentially eliminate. Knowing how these machines operated and the vast scale of actual flight operations , it makes it impossible for me to enjoy any piloting in game, for it is way to unrealistic.
That is the reason the tubular AA launcher is so successful in game but in reality was a failure.
The only BF that gets marginally close to the actual characteristics of the aircraft of its respective time period, is BF1. Since the aircraft in their infancy were fragile, slow and capable of being downed by small arms fire.
Everything BF1 did was 100 times better / more realistic than the excrement dice shat out afterwards BFVoke and 2042.
very funny that the ingame MP28 is magically operated
Those japanese clip-fed LMGs had quite high chance of cutting shooters fingers off while reloading. USSR tried that system after fights with japanese forces in Mongolia, adapted it to our DP-27s. If you accidentally activate the spring that feeds clip into the gun you have a very high chance of loosing fingers. So the concept was dropped right away.
I like how he takes jabs at himself, self-deprecating humor is always welcome, shows you don't take yourself too seriously.
Idk why hearing someone say “ to bayonet a tank” sounds so funny to me. Every time I think about it I get both amused and confused at the same time.
I may have mentioned this before, but Jonathan has the single best job on the planet, bar none. The jelly is palatable.
9:18 I know I'm very, very late to this, but there was an Italian system that uses a similar hopper mechanism, the Perino Model 1908. Coincidentally it was also featured in Battlefield 1, though it uses larger metal clips than the 5 round Arisaka clips of the Type 11
Lost light

Whoah, gun with no trigger!
7:51 Yea you just need to shove your finger in the trigger hole but I dont guarantee it will work and can cause some decapitation if you touched something wrong.
From, Totally a gun expert
For real though, a Mexican drug cartel getting ahold of time travel technology is a great villain idea
I like that not only is this guy obviously an expert on firearms…. But it seems as though he has played most of these games.
The main weapon of Battlefield V is the spit in the core fans' faces and the spit on graves of guys who gave their lives to protect our civilization.
"I can imagine few things I'd like to do less than try to bayonet a tank".
Agreed.
Zombies gonna be scared of this guy. The running dead.
