Firearms Expert Reacts To The Mass Effect Trilogy’s Guns
Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the intense weaponry of the Mass Effect franchise, including the in-universe weapons, the Avenger rifle, the Mantis sniper rifle, and the Collector assault rifle.
In the latest video in…
everything is made out of some type of material, yeah??
technically correct under that blanket…
Technically weapons in Mass Effect don't reload persay. They're fitted with like a giant block of metal and little bits are sheered off and propelled at almost FTL speeds. The metal is Polonium if that mod is equipped or the barrel coats the projectile in toxic compounds as it's fired.
The M8 actually is supposed to be kind of a hybrid of the M4 and an XM8 in space.
I love high accuracy hand cannon long barreled pistols that have a sci fi design
No claymore?!
I would love to see a video on Bioshock weapons
What's the point of this video, i feel like asking, if the expert isn't explained the lore properly. That'd be like a Chef, telling his opinion on rifles.
Do some Destiny weapons
Could you do the gears of war weapons
I really wish they explained the ammo system to him
I would argue that SMGs are less likely to disappear than you'd expect. The military has numerous roles that require the person to have an emergency weapon that is very compact. Examples are tank crews, pilots, etc. Once their primary weapon is lost they're expected to get of the battlefield as quickly as possible. They need enough firepower to keep the enemies heads down, nothing more.
Imagine a living gun where you have to tickle it or feed it laxatives to make it reload. The slap is probably for the best.
I like Ferguson, but sometimes its obvious he doesn't really go through stuff he is shown. Reason for SMG is spelled righ there in the description. SMGs are effective against shields and barriers, since in the setting shiels/barriers are very good at stopping one strong hit, but have problems with lots of smaller projectiles hitting them in rapid succession.
2:02 Would you be willing to repeat that in front of some of our politicians?
Mass Effect 3: Oh do I have a list of weapons for you.
Also Gamespot why’d you have to tease me with him going over Mass Effect’s weapons? I love the man’s professional “go over on all kindsa” firearms already with Star Wars. Now I’m just seriously nerding out here lol.
You can really tell Jonathan never played these games lol
Some of the wackier guns from the Destiny series could be fun to react as you have classic western style weapons from Tex Mechanica to burst fire rifles which alter spacetime and create singularities.
Not a word about the practicality of the folding mechanism they all have?
Do Borderlands! Please.
Can u do star citizen bro please they have guns and mags you could tear apart
I'm so sad you don't know about the cooling coils. It is one of the coolest ideas in sci-fi guns..
best weapons in a game. they are based on reality and the future. these Will exists.
"Gears of war situation where there's no stock" which is why Jonathan should check out Gears for a video. Where do they fit the chainsaw inside of the Lancer? Is the hammerburst actually burst or Semi-auto? I want to see Jonathan's brain explode from the nonsensical weapon designs
