In the latest video in the Firearm Expert Reacts series, Jonathan Ferguson--a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries--breaks down the guns of Borderlands 3 and compares them to their potential real-life counterparts.

Someone ought to mention that the gimmick of Tediore weapons is that they're so cheaply made that it's more cost effective to discard the entire gun and automatically fabricate a new one than it is to reload it. Also they have a "feature" that causes them to explode when all the ammunition in the magazine is expended.

[grzesiaczek]

The little dejected "Goodbye" Jonathan gives at the end of the video shows that we as a community have finally broken him.

[TAWEEYZZ]

I'm glad they showed borderlands 3. But I recommend not having the skill tree enabled next time to demonstrate what the guns can do alone without modifiers.

Killing Floor 2 has a great arsenal of weaponry that I think Johnathan would get a wide variety of reactions to. It's a great mix of realistic weaponry, creatively ridiculous weapons and plentiful destruction. I highly recommend it for a video. Would love to see it get given some attention.

[DivingHawker]

I would love to see Warframe guns being taken a look at, especially the more "conventional", "firearm-like" weapons

[StuartEaston]

Watching Jonathans mind break at the lunacy of Borderlands weapons is pure gold.

[TKOfromJohn]

My favorite little detail is when you're reloading a COV weapon and you pull out what looks like a modern pistol but it's actually a squirt gun to cool the weapon down because every other gun is so crazy looking

[iantaylor]

Two seemingly contradictory thoughts: How have we not done "Doom" or some other, more classic games yet, and, 2, I feel like as an apology we should do a few in which we don't actively try to hurt poor Johnathan.

[taprackmissmissagain]

I'd actually like to see his reaction to the specific Manufacturers of Borderlands and a bit about their histories and quirks. I don't know if that would be enough for a video, but if there is another one about this game that would be a great addition.

[TheUndeadslayer]

I have been WAITING for this one. Disappointed he didn't see the Torgue weapons, the VLADOV ars with their multiple barrels, or Tediore as a whole. Hyperion would also be an interesting manufacturer to see (given their weird curves).

[mrwhiffy]

I'd love for him to see some of the guns from Bioshock 1, 2, Infinite. Just to see how historically accurate they could be.

Or maybe thats just me

Jonathan “we did Vandguard this can’t be too bad….can it?”

Great video with some weird guns. At least Borderlands is actually a decent game

[HQ_Default]

I like how Jonathan's reactions vary between "I'm gonna try to make sense of this in the context of the game's world" and "Yep that sure is a gun"

[DanielOliveira-kpye]

Jonathan should also react to the red orchestra/ rising storm weapons, there are some interesting stuff in there

[acomingextinction]

"I'm upset that you *have* shown me this."

I feel like Jonathan would be a great guy to have a pint with.

[CAP]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, thank you for reviewing Borderlands 3’s

I so wanted his thoughts on the phenomenon of talking guns and you made it happen. Please guys, I want some more!!!!

[cdbtheclaw]

I was waiting so long for Borderlands 3 breaking Jonathan, thank you for showing these to him ^^

[samovarsa]

3:54 - I noticed that Life of Brian reference, Mr. Ferguson - you can't fool me!

[TrueNargin]

It's just as horrifying as I thought it would be. I absolutely love it! I really want more from the Borderlands series - could be another one from BL3 but any game from the series is fine.

[willtrotter]

Would love to see Jonathon go back to MW2019’s guns for his take on the Kilo (HK433), MP7, RAAL (SigMG338), etc
