Firearms Expert Reacts To Counter-Strike Franchise's Guns

Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down the insane weaponry of the Counter-Strike franchise, including the iconic AK47 automatic rifle, the FNP90 submachine gun, and the many versions of the AR-15/M4 rifle.

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 the Counter-Strike franchise, and compares them to their real-life counterparts.

    If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved [Romans 10 9-10].  Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. There is no other intermediary. May Jesus Bless you, trust Him, give your life – and He will take care of it*

    13:23 this part hurt my soul



  19. Ievgen Kharabet on November 2, 2021 at 8:42 pm

    In AKMN N stands for Night, and in Russian it is N as well for Noch’noy ("Night version") (Ночной)



  20. tacPirate on November 2, 2021 at 8:44 pm

    If we already have a gun jesus can this guy be british gun prince?

    13:20 I can’t believe they made that mistake.



  23. Mozzie on November 2, 2021 at 8:46 pm

    Looks like 2klicksphilip in a couple of years



  24. Phantomghost0012 on November 2, 2021 at 8:48 pm

    i love the way he handles this. he could totally say shit about how it isn’t relastic so it isn’t good like many csgo players do, but he knows that GAME BALANCE SHOULD NOT BE BASED ON HOW REAL IT IS



  25. Cipher Gaming South Africa on November 2, 2021 at 8:51 pm

    to be fair, as an south african, the mag 7 is used by security teams inside buildings, especially fitted to cash in transit teams, especially the military teams like the recces even some convoy security teams



  26. omar hawari on November 2, 2021 at 8:52 pm

    is anyone esle confused how he got all those guns into that library??



  27. Eric on November 2, 2021 at 8:53 pm

    Errors/glaring oversights:

    1) Beretta 92: No comment of it being depicted as DAO. That’s not what the G model is; it means the lever on the slide acts as a decocker only, rather than a decocker and a manual safety as in the more common F model.

    2) MAG-7: Suggesting that a SBS with no stock could not be fired accurately with what I presume is 00 buck shot at less than ~30 yards shows this expert has no practical experience shooting these guns because that is completely achievable. Also stating that shotguns don’t really lend themselves to military or police adoption is just flat out wrong; see the benelli M4, mossberg 590A1, and your local precinct probably has a remington 870 or mossberg 500/590 of some flavor in each police cruiser.

    3) M4: No comment on the MASSIVE shoulder-busting recoil the player model experiences when in reality the 5.56 NATO round is incredibly soft shooting and produces almost no felt or visible recoil when handled properly.

    4) AK-47: Lots of problems with this one. First, calling it an "assault rifle" which is a nonsensical political term and has no real definition that makes any sense to anyone who knows anything about firearms. Second, no comment on how the animation loads the magazine straight up from the bottom rather than tilting it in from the front as is necessary due to the AK-47’s magazine catch geometry especially when compared to the AR-15 platform. Third, saying the side rail is for "night sights" when it’s actually for optics and scopes. A night sight is used to describe traditional iron/fixed sights that have either luminescent paint or radioactive tritium vial(s) inserted so that they are illuminated in darkness.

    Nice Papa IV shirt though.



  28. Chad Broskii on November 2, 2021 at 8:53 pm

    He should review valorant guns

    HELLO he’s wearing a ghost shirt that’s fucking awesome



  32. Luca Salvioni on November 2, 2021 at 8:59 pm

    18:47, I’ll visit you when I’m in the future in London



  33. The Sprawl on November 2, 2021 at 9:03 pm

    I don’t understand why they haven’t got this guy to react to the guns in a genuine combat sim like ARMA. They get him to react to Timesplitters ffs, but not to the games that have the most realistic depictions of gun combat anywhere in videogaming, it seems like a waste because I’d love to know how accurate they _really_ are.



  34. Heil Odin on November 2, 2021 at 9:03 pm

    This Ghost shirt makes him so sexy!!!



  35. Seeker4you2 on November 2, 2021 at 9:12 pm

    My god.. he even takes into account the period of when the games were made. That consideration mixed with his passion and nostalgia when talking about his time on CS. This is good content.



  36. UltCryo on November 2, 2021 at 9:13 pm

    Would be awesome to see him taking a look at the scp secret laboratory weapons.



  37. Anthony B. on November 2, 2021 at 9:13 pm

    A exhibition themed „Game& weapon’s“ would be an attraction for museums



  38. Rig on November 2, 2021 at 9:14 pm

    Would love to see him playing World of Guns: Gun Disassembly and telling us how accurate that one is!

  41. Tomas on November 2, 2021 at 9:15 pm

    Call of Duty: United Offensive would be a real nostalgic treat to see you analyse 🙂

    Mad respect for Jonathan for rocking the Papa Emeritus IV shirt



  46. Anthony Haller on November 2, 2021 at 9:18 pm

    I’m surprised he didn’t nail them for inaccurate reloading of AK in the og Counterstrike.



  47. ninny65 on November 2, 2021 at 9:21 pm

    Jonathan is now a meme



  48. Bernardo Santos on November 2, 2021 at 9:24 pm

    The forward assist thing on the m4 has always bugged me



  49. bidzapfc on November 2, 2021 at 9:24 pm

    Jonathan Ferguson = Sam Lake (Jarvi). Prove me wrong



  50. Skylooo on November 2, 2021 at 9:25 pm

    For right eye dominants (mostt of right handers): Use the cl_righthand "0" command in your config to switch it to left. So you not a gunmodel in the way of your dominant eye.
