The sporter was all over the place because the scope was zeroed at 200 meters
-
Jonathan - "This game takes itself too seriously to have a gold plated gun" Me - "Oh god, I hope he sees the Gold Deagle"
-
7:35 the reason the sawed-off variant was added was because people complained about the horrendous sight picture. While the sights are exposed the plus side is that you can see something through them. Notable is that you have to saw it off manually with a saw, the unsawed variant is the one that spawns.

Dear Jonathan: DayZ’s Creative Director (2013-2018) here - it is of course, an apocalyptic setting. DayZ actually had the largest concentration of veterans on the team for Bohemia at the time. Additionally, I made sure we had our artists and animators spend significant time on the range.
-
I'd love for Jonathan to keep the gold plated MP5K around in his videos on Gamespot and the Royal Armouries as an easter egg
-
Kind of disappointing that the very first weapon shown is missing any parts - the MP5s spawn with handguards so that's a real shame.
-
I know I've played too much DayZ when I can easily identify where each clip was shot on the map.
-
Jonathan seemed particularly up for it today, not saying he ever gives the impression of not being up for it but he was a lot more playful this episode. It was a very good one due to that. Also, Mike, it's a Deagle.
-
Since Jonathan is the keeper of firearms AND artillery, how about showing him the various powder weapons of the total war: warhammer trio of games? Its got renaissance handguns all the way to the wackiest forms of fantasy artillery.
-
Soo happy to see DayZ on this channel. Played thousands of hours myself and will always vouch for DayZ being one of the best video games ever made. Whether cooking by a campfire, or watching the colours and lighting change as the sun goes down - fighting desperately against a dozen zombies, or tracking a gunshot that came from over a kilometer away. There is just so much to love about DayZ.
-
Jonathan got 500 frags with the MP-5 and unlocked the gold skin
-
The Ruger 22 has a hidden ability. If you shoot it with a silencer it is really quiet, and Zombies will travel to the point of impact if you miss them.
-
13:32 He absolutely does hold the bolt catch. Watch the first person perspective again, and you'll see a very deliberate animation of the hand dropping and hitting it
-
5:43 The reason the sporter is missing is because it is zeroed at the wrong distance.
-
I own the Baikal MP-43 that the BK-43 double barreled shotgun is modelled after! Mine is is the single trigger model tho, but it has proper ejectors that look exactly like the parts in the game. Really cool to see it put in a game.
-
I really want to see Jonathan break down the guns from The Order 1886
-
"Friendly in Cherno" memory activation
-
I wanna see an episode where Jonathan Ferguson the weapons keeper designs his own guns for a futuristic game. It would be cool to see what he could come up with for a game or movie themed gun.
-
5:45 the amount of misses are likely because of the scope, which is zeroed at minimum 200 meters, and the very slow bullet travel time.
-
Finally! Dave is doing Dayz. This is a great survival game I have more than 2,000 hours playing. Favorite weapon is the M-16A2
