Firearms Expert Reacts to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Guns PART 2

This is Jonathan Ferguson, the Keeper of Firearms and Ordnance at the Royal Army Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from across history and in this week's episode, in anticipation of Black Ops 6, is taking another look at Call's weapons. of Duty Black Ops Cold War, a nice, ordinary looking papasha, looks pretty good as you would expect in this time period, it's still a very competitive weapon and just when I'm getting excited Dave shows me this absolute abomination that have. We have plenty of other episodes looking at Call of Duty weaponry, so be sure to subscribe to watch them and let us know what other games you'd like us to cover in the comments section below, directly to Jonathan.

We're coming out of the gates with a strange one and I admit I had to remember, obviously we have a 5.45 millimeter AK magazine, so the AK74 magazine has a dimple in that lower receiver that reminds us well of the AK74, the AKM, but There's very little else about this thing than Colash and that's for good reason. This is a dark, super dark prototype, just an Armenian automatic rifle or assault rifle whatever you want to

call

it. Actually, it is very. I'm smiling just because they included this. something that almost does not exist but is actually very interesting is a lever-delayed recoil system so it does not have a gas system which makes it lighter, it is shorter, so to speak, in terms of height it is also a compact weapon Pretty short, but as it is It arrived in 1997, I think in its finished form long after the pre-existing stuff had dominated the market, so it wasn't going anywhere.

I think it's too late for the well, in fact I'm sure it's too late for the time period. of this game, so it shouldn't be in the game because I've only seen one that definitely exists and because it's too late, but it looks good and gives you that kind of AK feel, but it's something very different. this modified this is modified yes, I had to include some tape on a grip for you. I was just about to tell you, as we all know, wrapping a bit of tape around a grip radi

call

y changes the handling characteristics of any firearm that appears to have the automatic ejection system, so come on.

Again, this would be nice, I think in the period, this would be an Arm Cell Striker, it's changed manufacturers, it's changed names several times, maybe not the best design of all time, but it's a movie very 80s action, specifically 80s, so I have no problem with it being in the game I'm not sure the rail and iron sight are on the rail, it looks like they put a Pik atini on it, but they just spaced out the slots to make it more like a weaver type rail, but or the classic Weaver Rail of the time which only had a couple of slots because it was only designed for

black

ed out optics, it was not for different positions.

I timed it, not that it was really necessary, but it's much faster to just die. and respawn than reload this thing from empty to drop, remember that dying and respawning is faster than reloading life is cheap in the world of Call of Duty, another very interesting Cold War firearm, from the looks of it kind of an Unholy Union Twix FAL and well I don't know, I guess it looks like an alternate universe FN C or maybe a cal cal, a FAL 5.56 lookalike is what I'm referring to, however it's not a FAL or a cal and it's not really a fnc either.

It is essentially a 5.56 FAL style AK. If you see it disassembled, it has the classic long stroke piston mount and rotating bolt of an AK, but the receiver design is completely different of course, so this is Argentinian or Argentinian, sorry Farah 83. The site from Red Dot is too compact for this time period, the lines look very nice vintage, but it is very very small and we also have a patini rail on that rail adapter which reminds me of the year here Dave Call of Duty Black Ops

cold

or is configured. in 1981 absolutely no site is completely wrong because the rifle itself is also too new a couple of years ago and the patini n rail could achieve the same

cold

and cautious look and make it period correct so you should use another gun of dark fire, the SM limpet.

Tress model, as much as I roll my eyes when I see anything other than a scope attached to one of these weapons in 19 periods from the early 80s, this thing here is very reminiscent of the Elite Falcon series, um, which doesn't We have seen. Unfortunately, I got it, but that big eye-protecting ring lens holder on the front is quite big and thick. uh, it's not a precise match by any means, but it's very similar to those from the early '90s, so we're at least 10 years away. current for that thing, I don't know a reflex site as compact as the one from the early 80s, multiple enemies, goodbye, multiple, ah yes, the strange G11 that doesn't look much like a G11.

I still don't know why he changed it so radically, it's a cool design, it clearly evokes the G11, but it's so different, I mean, noticeably, the magazine is not on the top, on the front, I mean, it must be nice to artists can go crazy and invent. something completely original being me, I always prefer the real thing, we're back to the old sight guard problem here, so the rear sight sticks out nicely from the carry handle, as does the front sight, so if you drop it on its top , at least you've lost zero and possibly even destroyed your aiming ability, now we go back in time to a proper G11 and it's a shameless opportunity to give you a preview of this, don't get too excited, this isn't ours.

It's, uh, borrowed from a well, you know who you are, thank you very much, it's great to have in your hand, frankly, there's that Frank handle, unfortunately it's missing the flap that you actually get, but that's the same feature as we. I have the charger in the front here and I think we have approximately the correct model of G11 because there are several. This is as it says in it. This is the test version of the American advanced combat rifle, which is really its most refined form. Now this is tremendously complicated and hopefully everyone will forget that we have it and I can go into detail elsewhere as a soldier, as a user of this thing, if your gun stops working, you're most likely going to want to throw it away.

Take this bit off and just put a new one in, uh, because it's very, very complicated and it would be going back to the factory, I think to be repaired or reconditioned or whatever, it would have been a real change in how they fit. in the logistics chain, as it was really great to have this in hand. I hope you enjoy it too for me it's the Call of Duty Black Ops type of weapon so it's kind of a shame it became the carve 2 it's cool to see it in real life but yeah we had to go back to the original Black Ops, I mean, we basically did it as an excuse to show that we can give that, we can give that peig.

Behind the curtain was a cool gun that you had and we wanted to show it off, so let's show it off, yeah and no disrespect to the cve designer, but it's not a G11 fragrance, a little vanilla. Cold War Firearms M16 A2 looks pretty good to me here's one, this is the commercial M16 A2 but it looks pretty good, it even has the visibly long A2 pattern stock, the bulge on the pistol grip, the button forward assist round, I won't bore You kill yourself with all that and the proportions seem correct, that is, the length of the barrel.

If I were to get really nerdy, we actually have a slightly smaller diameter portion here of the barrel that isn't. I don't think I've seen that. depicted on any M16 A2 in the game, so I guess since this is a military firearm with a military designation, we're all good legally speaking and it's pretty cool. I just noticed that the trigger guard area is inexplicably high, it's almost like a built-in gun. in the arctic version with a very high trigger there might be a strange outlook, the only real anomaly for me is that it shouldn't exist, just that the design was basically there in 81, but it's not actually available yet and it's not like it would be something A super dumb prototype that will give you a huge tactical advantage.

It is a refinement. This weapon belongs to the tactical rifle family, meaning they are either the one or three-round burst type, with this being a three-round burst. So could that be why? They have become A2. I mean, yeah, I don't know which direction it developed, but yeah, absolutely, so the A2 has introduced one of the features, the least controversial feature, since everyone hates it. The three-round burst was a feature of the A2. rifle as originally introduced to the US Marines and then the US Army a couple of years later, I think 83 and 86, so this could sneak in depending on what mission you're on or something like that, oh my gosh, okay, yeah, that's really nice.

Prett cursed the date. the 5.56mm flash guard is huge, I don't know why it's so big, the laser sight isn't a million miles away from the late 90's, attach it to the barrel style laser sight, but it's too small and compact for this time, the original K15. submachine gun yes, it was a submachine gun that had small triangular handguards a little like this, that's probably where they got them from, but they don't look good here. I'm afraid the idea of ​​a pistol grip screwed or glued to the bottom of a handguard that is very authentic from the 80s and 90s.

I like that the huge quad-stack magazine is way ahead of its time and has a capacity strange. I also don't know why telescoping buffer tube heads of that type PDW nature as soon as I would be surprised if maybe someone built one in the early 80's but I've never seen one, yeah and it's strange, what about 16.3 on barrel too and how does a barrel shoot fast or not? This is all confusing and I haven't even mentioned the giraffe pattern. I have a new emotional support weapon and another strange weapon that is very reminiscent of the Soviet cosmonaut tp82 survival pistol.

It can't be compared to the real thing, but the design is quite different in my opinion. I know this stopped being produced a long time ago. I can't imagine time-traveling Soviet lawyers are going to come knocking on your door to replicate the real product, so I'm not sure why it's so different. Basically, it works the same as the classic double-barreled Saof, without a doubt. Great without the 545 um barrel of the TP82, it's also yes, like the Soviet double barrel shot

guns

because every Call of Duty needs a double barrel shotgun. Very good point, the TP 82 is a kind of SL survival rifle and shotgun concept. self defense weapon or defense weapon against big bears that kind of thing, so yeah, having just the two, might as well be Mad Max, actually Target has a nice, normal looking papasa, it looks pretty good, hopefully there are many available.

The source material and pre-existing versions in other Cod games all have retro

firearms

, to put it nicely. Retro to the early 1980s to include a game of this nature. I think this is one of the most appropriate because these things are still shown. in the Iraq war they still appear in Ukraine in this time period this is still a very competitive weapon the bullet penetrates well a very high rate of fire very controllable and just when I'm getting excited Dave shows me this absolute Mining always makes you feel bad when you're in the middle of your enthusiastic gun talk and then something like this pops up, not bad enough to not do it again, although you can barely detect the paper underneath it all, that's kind of it. clearly intended to be a polymer stock so it was replaced.

I guess the central action would still be real and then everything else is plastered on top. That battery charger makes me cry. I hate those legendary type weapons, why is it green? So the only way I can could unlock this by purchasing a blueprint and then removing all the extra Guff. I couldn't get rid of the red pieces and I couldn't get rid of the green traces, so just ignore it. Oh and you've gotten to the submerging issue in case you're wondering what I'm talking about, this is loosely based on the Russian APS underwater assault rifle, although the magazine makes it look more like the Chinese equivalent now that I have one in my possession. hands of these really interesting weapons, it is essentially just a sheet metal construction, a big old spring can be shot out of the water, but not massively and effectively because the projectiles are big needles like the Dy things, but they are loaded in a conventional cartridge case, so they're a bit weird and are designed to travel through water without immediately falling or fragmenting.

This is what you need to hit anyone further than about 2m across the water and in a pinch you could shoot it above the water, but realistically. You're supposed to switch to a different weapon. Did you notice any different behavior between the water and the water surface? It seems wildly inaccurate. No, I think you can shoot any weapon underwater in In theCold War so I think it was just the scenario of the development of the weapon turned it into a weapon for the game and there is very little water on the game maps, yeah it's not really a hack he played in but now In the Cold War it was just a pretty bad assault rifle. ah the stoner 63, very appropriate time period, the Navy Seals held on to these things until I think at least the mid 80's, so it's a 5.56 high rate of fire light machine gun, so I have one here , this is the XM 207 E1 listed to be what we have here, I believe this was actually the USA I don't know how.

During a lot of combat use, they actually saw that the seals were the main real users of them. However, I have seen photographic evidence of Navy SEALs with this length of barrel, so it makes sense that they would have had access to the various Lego pieces to turn this into whatever it is. weapon they wanted, that was the goal of this modular system designed by Eugene Stoner of AR15 Fame. I mean, it makes sense that they get them with the long barrel, many of them will change them to the shorter barrel to make it even more.

Compact and lightweight, no bipod, you'll notice that on this one and again, I don't think I've seen seals in Vietnam with a bipod, this is not designed to be used as an lmg in the traditional sense, this is what we have now. call or what the market would now call an assault machine gun, so a light machine gun designed to be fired by hand, so I think it has a different manufacturer now, but I know it's the denel South African Bullpup bolt-action anti-materiel rifle NTW 20 out of 20 thousand or so. As you can see here, shooting it from the shoulder is a bit of a stretch, it's very stable on target.

If it's possible to shoot this from the shoulder, I'd probably do it once this doesn't exist until 1998, so it's really quite strange output to the left and misses, I don't think there's anything else in the game or any other card game recent one that has the bolt on the wrong side and the magazine therefore on the wrong side, I don't know why that would be now. Call this a Bullpup, it's actually a quazy Bullpup and the magazine is as far forward of the trigger as the bolt face is behind the trigger but not substantially behind the grip, so by my own definition it's not really a Bullpup, but it's a good test case. of what it is and what it is not, it is certainly a more compact design, uh, it has to be when it comes to once again, an enemy with a 20 thousand cannon round, an enemy spy plane destroyed, RPD period Appropriate starter, no, I don't think so actually.

The use of the Soviet army has shifted in favor of the rpk at this point and the PKM. I have one here. This is a strawberry pattern. Soviet DPR in very good condition. Very well done. Actually a nice blue finish overall. I think it's okay. The disintegrating links coming off the right side are wrong, even though that's how they should look. Standard links that don't disintegrate Soviet style and just come out the side of the gun and you collect them in a pile, reinsert bullets and use them again. You can see there's the fact that this is in fact the short 762 x 39 AK SKS on a belt fed machine gun, which was the really point type of the RPD, it lacks the long range punch so to speak and the accuracy of the PKM, it is reasonably light for a machine gun, but the PKM is not much heavier and is much more capable.

This thing is a little outdated at this point, but they still existed. They still exist today. You know these things are very robust. You will probably find them still in use. today they use a very available round. I have no problem with it being in the game. It is one of the least problematic weapons in the game. Actually, thanks for looking guys, those were tricky type weapons from Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. I'll get around to playing that one day as always please check out our real gun shop YouTube channel there are a lot more
