I'm not sure what's cooler... the fact that the animators took Jonathan's advice and changed the reload animation, or that they took the time and effort to ask for specific guns to be analysed. The Crytek team are amazing!!!

3 Stages of watching Gamespot's firearms expert reacts videos:

1. Watching because of the games

2. Watching because it's very informative on the weapons

3. Watching because of Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at royal armouries museum in the UK.

Game dev: please analyse this pistol
Jonathan: what have they done to you

[jadenbrooks]

I'd love him to see the bulletgrubber animations specifically. And the technique where you hold the fire button to keep from rechambering, so you can reload without losing a round.

[Mrxlongshot]

Hunt is easily the one of the best when it comes to animation/gunplay and audio design

[RXYFX]

10:37 No way, update 1.11 is around the corner and they added just that - the Martini Henry quickloader!

[admiraldesto]

“We want to see Jonathan react to the sparks pistol”
Johnathan: “what have they done to you?”
Yeah that seems about right

[xXANNIALORXx]

Crown and King reference: Browning, Crown King, it rhymes.

I can't remember if Jonathan covered it in the first video, but I really like how this is one of few games I can think of that shows dented primers for fired revolver rounds and doesn't just go for an all or nothing approach

[DjJSHWA]

HUGE, MASSIVE props to the devs actually reaching out to experts to get imput on their firearm models. Wish more devs did this

[ramesses_ii]

One of the best episodes. Especially with the interaction from the Devs.

[fudgerounds]

The explanation of the weak wrist at 15:40 is also a perfect in-universe justification for the Sharps pistol.

[MercutioUK]

Even more please - and it's amazing to see devs listening to feedback.

[MatzeMB]

This combines two of my favourite things. A weapon expert sharing his knowledge and Hunt Showdown. Love that the devs reached out as this game shines when it comes to attention to details. Jonathan has, at least to me, the perfect mindset when making these videos. Love it!

[Maratryx]

Met him at the Cody arms museum about 15 hours ago. Really nice guy in real life, even got a picture with him

[sawkman]

YAAAS! IT"S HERE!!! A little disappointed that we didn't get to the topic of custom ammo, but to actually have the developers make requests?! Awesome!
Edit: I was so convinced that he'd call BS on the ambidextrous reload on the dual dolchs, but am pleasantly surprised to hear that is halfway feasible, lol.

[zdruck]

Watching this video again before the Hunt Christmas update and the rumored addition of the Harston quickloader to the martini henry... Think Jonathan is gonna need to take a look at this one again very soon.

[r.lum.r]

I love how genuinely excited he gets about this game lol
Crytek's devs are amazingly impressive for being this open to feedback on an already excellent job
and the fact that the suggestions got implemented, and that Jonathan got to see it?? 🥺it's all so wholesome lol
I hope there's a third part and Jonathan is shown some more skins, and talks about the Vetterli. I love that gun lol

[snailfarmer]

There is actually a mechanic in the game where you can find an in-game item which cleans your gun and really shows off the detail

[skush]

I can't get enough of hunt showdown and Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK
