Jonathan Ferguson, a weapons expert and Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, breaks down more of the weaponry of Counter-Strike 2, including the iconic Deagle, the AWP sniper rifle, and a MP5-SD that really upsets poor Jonathan.

Sure the MAC-10 doesn't fire when dropped down a flight of stairs, but its Arnie + James Cameron, so all is forgiven.
A lot of the guns used in this video are using the old models, which for the sake of keeping the skin design the same as the game went from the old generation to its brand new iteration. It would have been really interesting to see Jonathan's reaction to the change the USP-S has gone through (bulkier appearance and sights changed to help see over the suppressor).
As well as how guns like the Deagle and AWP have gotten bulkier and more "true to life" as it were.
Great video nonetheless.
I owned a P250, fantastic gun but the model I had was DAO and the trigger pull was atrocious. It basically doubles as the safety because theres no way its firing without you putting a ton of force into the trigger.
yay reference points 😀
In CS2 there are 2 types of models for each weapon. 1 new more detailed and more realistic model introduced for CS2 and the classic CSGO model for skins whose author haven't updated for CS2 yet. So at least for now skins do indeed change models. Looks like in the video the AK Case Hardened and Negev skins use the CSGO model, not quite sure about the P250.
at 4:27 you can see jonathan break 🙁
If True Lies is fodder for a dated reference, I feel like an old man
maybe the MAC-10 is modeled on a closed bolt version
I'd like to see Jonathan give us his thoughts on slow mo ballistic gel tests.
19:13 i think the choice for the twin beretta 92s here is its because of a Black Lagoon reference(Revy dual weilds 2 Beretta 92 Inox guns, with an extended barrel which is nicknamed "the silver cutlass")
Was looking forward to this!
Rip, missed the chance at the hidden Deagle inspect animation
Jonathan daring to suggest that Jamie Lee Curtis would lie to us? Blasphemy!
jonathan ferquson should react to ravenfield guns
dude make video on mw3 beta im really curious to see what is that bolt action ak in real life because it was the most absurd thing that I've seen
True lies 😂 great movie. Also hammer on the 92 looks ate up.
Here's an idea, you have a man with access to god knows what prototypes,
-Show him Enlisted
-Make it multiple parts (country by country), the game has enough for that
-Unless you have a press account forget recording stuff normally, the grind takes too long and you could only show him starter guns
-Take notes what the higher unlocks are from the progression tree and the premium guns
-Load up the editor and spawn those guns in and record them from there
Oh and for the love of god don't show him all the common stuff thats in every WW2 shooter, we know what a Thompson is.
Johnathan always looks like a proud father in the thumbnail
I would've loved to see his reaction to the P2000, given how poorly it's modeled
Well, GIGN is one of the classic counter-terrorist units in CS so FAMAS makes sense with that. Although of course the FAMAS is a later addition. 1.6 I believe? Together with the Galil. Might be wrong.
On the topic of the FAMAS: CS puts you into different CT groups depending on the map. Sometimes you're SAS or FBI, sometimes you're GSG-9 or IDF, and sometimes – GIGN – so they can't tie down the weapon selection to a specific SF team, since you're cycling through all of them.
Maybe I'm wrong, but you can indeed play as GIGN in Counter Strike in case of the FAMAS. And I got the True Lies reference ^^
AH, HARRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY
A True Lies reference! (MAC-10 firing by being dropped down stairs)
The FAMAS wouldn't even really make sense for french counter terrorist units because they never liked the rifle. They much prefer SIGs and ARs.
true lies points for me
The new CS2 AKMN is on safe. It's also missing the bumps on the lower handguard, but that's more of a nitpick. Big oof.
