Is Bambetov SV the new Dragunov SVD? How far does a grenade launcher go?

Does the Water Pistol do any good?

Tune in and have some Questions answered by our beloved duo.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a stealth game in which players take the role of Punished "Venom" Snake from a third-person perspective in an open world. Gameplay elements are largely unchanged from Ground Zeroes, meaning that players must sneak from several points in the game world, avoid enemy guards, and remain undetected. Included in Snake's repertoire are binoculars, a variety of weapons, explosives, and stealth-based items such as cardboard boxes and decoys. Following one of the series traditions, The Phantom Pain encourages players to progress through the game without killing, using non-lethal weapons such as tranquilizer darts to subdue enemies. Players may traverse the game world with vehicles such as jeeps and tanks, in addition to traveling on foot or on horseback, and as certain locations are mountainous, occasionally, players can opt to go rock climbing as a shortcut. They
may call for helicopter support against enemy soldiers or request airstrikes that can bomb the target area or change the current weather.

Gun Expert REACTS to Metal Gear Solid V

[DarkTyrant]

The water gun in MGSV is used for many useful features.
- Cheap to deploy into combat
- Able to threaten and hold enemy soldiers up to surrender
- Take out campfires and torches to provide more shadows for stealth
- Destroy electronics SILENTLY., like the enemy radio so they cannot call for back up. Most alternatives are explosive and loud.
- Viable weapon capable of destroying the Man on Fire Boss.

Fun fact about the water pistol: its the TRUE weapon that can take out the Man on Fire during certain encounters with him. Its a grind and involves getting within effective range then retreating constantly, but it works!

[Callsign_Kishin]

Thank you for remembering MGS. This game series will never die.
Whether it’s cause it’s Meme’d out, or cause we’re a sophisticated, dedicated bunch of fans, this series is Timeless.

[mniakan]

Paul: does that suit allow to steal their energy?
Me who knows the plot and it’s too complicated to explain: yeah sure let’s go with that one

[DarthDragon]

The Water Pistol can be pretty useful if used right. Squirt in an enemy's face to stun him for a second, allowing you a short time to take them out. It can also be used to take out electronics relatively silently and it allows you to put out the barrel fires for more shadows! You can also use it as a distraction, just make sure the enemy isn't looking in your direction when you shoot, otherwise they will instantly spot you as if you shot a normal unsilenced gun (which is really annoying).

The G44 barrels don't offer the ranges they should unfortunately. That barrel you saw on the G44 was the standard barrel yet it only has the same range as the normal barrel of the MRS-4 Carbine, even though the normal G44 barrel is much longer.

[JohnSmith-xvob]

The shotgun revolver is actually based on the Mateba Unica Autorevolver, which, funny enough, the man who designed the Unica ALSO designed the Rhino, so the connection made me chuckle.

[courier]

Fun fact, Snake has issues with recoil here because he has a prosthetic arm and was in a 9 year coma about 1-2 months before this game starts. (Also, gameplay reasons. There's meds he can take, obviously instantly acting, that stabilizes his shots better)

[PunishedJester]

Whenever Paul shows up for another Gamology episode, you know it's going to be a great day!

[timhefty]

What I like about Paul is that he's always excited and locked in for his videos. Seems like it comes naturally for him to be on camera

[Friendly_Neighborhood_Dozer]

9:55 Snake actually has an excuse: he was in a coma for 9 YEARS. Not months, YEARS

[joancan]

You can hold enemy combatants at gun point with the water pistol but the jig is up if you actually fire.
You can also put out flames in lit barrels and fireplaces, snuffing out a source of light and giving you more darkness to work with.

[kram]

The "Hand of Jehuty" is an tribute to another game Hideo Kojima made called "Zone of the Enders". You literally grab some one who's about 20-30 meters, pull them back & easily CQC their asses. Lol

[arthurwild]

Calling the Cardboard-Box effective Camouflage for LA is funnier than it has any right to be.

[snarkel]

Fun fact: the water pistol is extremely useful for a certain boss fight.

[fieldmedic]

Oh hell yeah...(RIP the GMP of that guy...) This game was way ahead of it's time...

[SuperTyrannical]

The L85 a1 gave that rifle a bad rep. But apparently the a3 variant is pretty good now. A few British soldiers won some awards with it at a Swedish gun competition recently. The original a1 was nicknamed "the civil servant" because it never worked and you can't fire it. 🤣

[gilerasmt_]

Nice to see some metal gear sometimes. Thanks for not letting the game die out

[cosmicneko]

i think it would be interesting to see paul and israel react to the guns and customization of MGS4, or the guns in mgs3 considering how freely you can customize the guns in 4

[legionnaire]

Phantom Pain’s sandbox and gunplay is so underrated. Great to see it get some love 🤘

[chanmax]

The G44 actually looks like a modified Famas (Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Saint Étienne), like in the first MGS game, it's cool that you mentioned it. Maybe because I'm french and I was so proud to see a french rifle in such a cool game.
