Guns That Don't Make Sense

Since their introduction, there have been countless types and variations of firearms that have been designed and manufactured, and while the exact shape can vary greatly, they generally follow a similar pattern. Some weapons, however, do away with convention and look futuristic, unique, or just plain odd.

Love the Bo1 rooftop chase reference at 3:54

The G11 may look like it's only made of 2 Squares, but just remember that it's made by German Engineers who were left unchecked. Open that thing up and it looks like a grandfather clock with a countless number of gears and leavers (a would be nightmare for a low ranking grunt to perform a field strip on).

3:55
CoD BO1 "Numbers" Mission reference.

G11 was trippy when I saw it in COD Black Ops

[ThunderBunny]

Love the Adler thumbnail and the “Kraut Space Magic” of the G11

[Winged_Husar_Enjoyer]

just a lil fun fact, jackhammer magazines could be outfitted with a small, integrated explosive device, which could turn a spare mag into an imrovised anti-personnel mine, sending buckshot in the air, wounding the one who triggered it. it never saw combat usage, just like the pancor.

The p90 is a good example of nice ergonomics on a bullpup...

[ZeroWind]

3:42 that guy just pack and punched IRL

3:56 "What about the Numbers, Clarke?"

[Del_S]

Video is on guns that are weird shapes.

Ends video on a gun that is shaped like 99% of SMGs and Rifles.

[Skooma_Bandit]

Since it was first and Zach Hazard’s loud sigh was stuck in my head i died laughing once more at the pancor jackhammer

[alejandroguevara]

Frank woods?
4:00 Kowloon campaign mission?

[a-byte]

"You can't kill me!!!" Ahh thumbnail🔥🔥🔥

[silviadoibani]

The FN P90 is featured in many SCP games, most notably SCP Containment Breach.

[Mareczekw]

Pancor jackhammer was sick gun in fallout

[Ivegotsomewater]

3:54 that’s literally from Black Ops 😂
