In my opinion, there are no better "experts react" than these videos with Jonathan. He not only understands firearms but understands video game design and doesn't knock game designers for making compromises. Just a class act all around. 10/10
-
It's very interesting to see johnathan also discuss some concessions that developers have to do for technical/gameplay reasons. Gamespot couldn't have found a better guy for this.
-
Refers to Hickok45, yet another reason Jonathan is THE "go to" guy when it comes to proper knowledge about historical firearms and skilled shooting techniques. Always enjoyed the SE series, Jason has done an outstanding job with that franchise over the years, have to pick up SE 5 this weekend, Warlord and Ghost deserve some cash!
-
The silencer on the springfield is the Moore silencer, something that was tried pre ww1 by the US army. The youtube channel the Armourer's bench has a video on it along the maxim silencer for the 1903.
-
Thanks Jonathan, great video.
-
One thing to note about the vampyr night sight for the stg-44, is that the guy isn't wearing the required backpack that goes with it to power it. They were powered by a battery that weighed 15 kg that was carried in a bulky backpack
-
Request for Johnathan to react to guns from Killing Floor 2. It has tons of unique weapons like the AF2011s and a sledgehammer that shoots shotgun shells whenever it strikes something. Plus, all the animations are smooth as well, so I’d love to see him break those kinds of weapons down.

Karl's actually German-American. His father was the American ambassador when karl was born so he was born in Germany. He then moved to America where when they refused to join the war, stopping him from going to fight the fascists from his homeland he asked his parents to pull some strings to transfer him to the UK where he was recruited by SOE due to German being his Native tongue.

I didn't know what this night vision scope at 13:49 was called before so now knowing it's called the Vampir, it makes so much more sense as to why it makes critical hits heal you in Zombie Army 4. Pretty clever.
-
Petition for Medal of Honor: Warfighter. It featured a lot of modern gear and had a fairly comprehensive modification system
-
Hickock 45 and Jonathan collaboration. Its now the Gun Multiverse. Jonathan, Ian, Hickock, Garand Thumb, DemoRanch, AK guy. We need this
-
I've learnt a lot from this video series, but I think my main takeaway is "if there's ever a zombie outbreak, get myself down to the Royal Armouries".
-
Green cartridges as subsonic were a thing in ww2 Russia, at least for Mosin Nagant. There were some limited numbers of suppressor equipped Mosins issued to units, but most people probably didn't ever heard of this modification...
-
Glad to see Jonathan again this week, missed him last week!
-
This was one of the most delightful episodes yet. You could really feel Jonathan's genuinely happiness to talk about the guns he helpen influence and see how it came out. Loved this episode!
-
The first thing I thought of after that long range Welrod shot was Hickok45 and the gong. Glad to see him get a mention immediately thereafter! Love this video series - keep 'em coming, and Jonathan is always a pleasure to watch. :D
-
I love how even though he points the innacuiries, he understands the reason for it, for example he understands why the night vision imagery isn't accurate because it would frustrate the player if it was. All my homies love Jonathan
-
Thank god he’s back, you guys scared me last week
-
The SREM-1 was an interesting weapon concept
-
talking about that Luger, i see that it has a vertical grip attached directly to the barrel, that would cause a lot of issues since the pistol was a short recoil design and the barrel moved with each shot
