Firearms Expert Reacts To Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Guns

Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the iconic weaponry of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019, including the SIG MCX assault rifle, the Uzi submachine gun, the Dragunov sniper rifle, and a silenced Desert Eagle. Yes, you read that right.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare saw the COD franchise return to a more gritty, realistic shooter experience, which was full to the brim with contemporary weapons like the SIG MCX assault rifle, the DP-12 shotgun, and the Russian ASh 12.7 battle rifle.

In the above video, Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the weapons of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, including the Dragunov sniper rifle, the Uzi submachine gun, and silenced versions of the Colt 1911 and the Desert Eagle. Across the video, Jonathan breaks down the weapons and their in-game functionality, and compares them to their real-world counterparts.

    Brilliant

    Only when the day of the exoskeleton is truly born is when we will see troops with mini guns

    Far cry 3 when



  5. Ghost Lee Mann on October 28, 2021 at 8:30 pm

    remember when cod games actually had the rights to the gun names, good times

    Playerunknowns battleground when ?



  7. Hope Lu on October 28, 2021 at 8:35 pm

    you’ll need subsonic rounds to go really quiet, to the level of "nearby" tangoes not hearing you



  8. Russell Sutherland on October 28, 2021 at 8:35 pm

    To further the talks about Grenade Launcher reticle for the underbarrel. The Ak47 actually gets an ironsight for its grenade launcher. It makes it so much easier to aim the grenades in Hardcore multi-player.



  9. Josh Goode on October 28, 2021 at 8:35 pm

    Ok, the mini gun. Yeah, umm, no. Its not antipersonel gun. Its a mass theatre suppression system. That IS NOT what its made for.

  11. Ghost Lee Mann on October 28, 2021 at 8:36 pm

    I’m just thinking some of the soldiers are just antique gun collectors

    The lucky handsaw intialy share because leopard retrospectively appreciate with a wooden territory. gamy, angry side

    I cant be the only one seeing the similarities to this guy and CallMeKevin



  14. Spiderwolfer on October 28, 2021 at 8:38 pm

    I’m really surprised there wasn’t a ammo now for the MCX. The rattler is one of the common real world example of a ammo conversion.



  15. X_West _ on October 28, 2021 at 8:38 pm

    Coolest man on the planet!



  16. Vincent van Hal on October 28, 2021 at 8:41 pm

    Love it! You should give Black Mesa aka Half-life a try (or the newer ones)



  17. Wayne GoldPig on October 28, 2021 at 8:42 pm

    "We are a contemporary collection".
    Yes, but all under lock and key in the vault and not on public display. This smirking fool is a disingenuous liar.

    the sniper is a modified zastava M93 Black Arrow Sniper Rifle. i researched a lot i am pertty sure.



  20. Hazmat Studios Main on October 28, 2021 at 8:44 pm

    It’s a MK18 not M4A1 in MW19



  21. Dorian Dillion-Lee on October 28, 2021 at 8:45 pm

    The M14 is the Socom 16, which has the the shorter barrel (correct me if I’m wrong).



  22. Slonismo on October 28, 2021 at 8:46 pm

    Have Johnathan react to Receiver 2 gameplay. I think he’ll be hard pressed to finding flaws. I’ll even provide the footage 🙂

    Do you know the meme: "yall got a silencer I’f got a loudencer" dude having a big funnel at the end of his gun.
    How to make the Degel more impressiv 😅



  26. Special Operator Lolbit on October 28, 2021 at 8:54 pm

    The attack on that house where that guy gets blown away for not checking the door- you can save him by firing through the door before he walks by it. In reality, you wouldn’t. But it will give you an achievement, and Price will congratulate you.



  27. Jake Roscoe on October 28, 2021 at 8:57 pm

    React to the new guns



  28. luki on October 28, 2021 at 8:59 pm

  31. GreenOnionBrother on October 28, 2021 at 9:02 pm

    "If the terrorist would wear a body armor, this thing is going to bypass that" is a really nice way of saying "turn him into Swiss cheese".



  32. Narnian Warrior on October 28, 2021 at 9:02 pm

    There are quite a few people who have fired miniguns at the hip.



  33. dj jay sky on October 28, 2021 at 9:02 pm

  38. Dj Boost on October 28, 2021 at 9:11 pm

    Pls have him review the saints row guns



  39. Kaden Howell on October 28, 2021 at 9:11 pm

    That sniper rifle is most likely loosely based on the Accuracy International AXMC sniper rifle, and AI is a British company, so I’m not sure why he didn’t make that connection. I mean, it’s not exactly perfect my any means, but I instantly thought of the AXMC when I saw that, especially since it’s in .338 Lapua.



  40. GreyBlackWolf on October 28, 2021 at 9:11 pm

    As far as the uzi. The secret used them back in the day of ronald reagan. You can see them pulled out during the botched assassination attempt on him. Idk if they still use them though.



  41. Trevor Mathews on October 28, 2021 at 9:13 pm

    Lots of tier 1 guys in the 80’s and 90’s ran M14’s with 1x magnification Aimpoint Comp 5000’s (I believe that’s what they were called) so the M14 in the game isn’t COMPLETELY out of the realm of plausibility although in this day and age, if someone wanted to run a CQB battle rifle in .308/7.62 NATO they would just pick up a SCAR H/Mk 17



  42. victorrain on October 28, 2021 at 9:15 pm

    Could Jonathan check out the guns in Homefront: The Revolution? I’d really like his take on how the weapon parts are swapped and the game is like, “You have a totally different firearm!”



  43. Crooked Wookie on October 28, 2021 at 9:16 pm

    Why is it Jonathan is fine pronouncing “FAL,” “SCAR,” “SPAS,” et al, like they’re words, but insists on calling the UMP the You-Em-Pee? 😂



  44. Kogeki94 on October 28, 2021 at 9:16 pm

    Maybe check out the weapons from the STALKER series?



  45. sal cee on October 28, 2021 at 9:17 pm

    This guy is awesome love when he reviews weapons he knows his armory! Love the commentary



  46. Rockne Poovey on October 28, 2021 at 9:18 pm

    Jesse Ventura can’t even hold his weight in an argument let alone whatever the fuck you just said.



  47. Nzk. on October 28, 2021 at 9:21 pm

    Rainbow Six Siege episode



  48. Austin Barber on October 28, 2021 at 9:23 pm

    Titanfall 2 would be a cool game to have in this series, all fictional weapons that I would like to see if they would function in real life (alternator for example)

    I would like to see what a lot of the real life equivalent of the weapons are aside from the obvious ones like the flatline being an AK variant and the G2 based on the M14



  49. Simon Wang on October 28, 2021 at 9:24 pm

    The workable step-brother descriptively poke because japan climatologically frighten without a stupid north. utopian, massive pepper
