    I feel like they are slowly moving Jonathan more and more into the storage section of the building
  • I was SO hoping he'd see the 2nd animation for the Desert Eagle inspection and see his horror with it.
  • @Azguella
    Jonathan was so happy after seeing the MP5-SD and then the happiness turned sour
  • @bas919
    03:11 I love how Jonathan casually uses "yeeting."
  • @sverremorka9273
    For those who do not take the mac-10 firing when falling in stairs reference: this is a scene from the Schwarzenegger movie True Lies, where one droped in stairs take out multiple enemies.
  • @zecaoalfredo4242
    The skins should have been shown seperately because depending on the skin and the gun, when equipping a skin the gun can use the old csgo model i.e. the Negev. Jonathan actually saw a worse quality Negev and he even remarked on its "extra" bulky appearance.
  • @Rossen42
    I really want to see Jonathan break down the guns from The Order 1886
  • @GaldirEonai
    Regarding the presence of the FAMAS, one of the three groups the original Counterstrike's CT player models were based on was indeed french and even now that there's way more diversity in models and outfits there's still a healthy french presence.
  • @Tyberes
    I always wondered if they picked the AWP over other options solely on how "boxy" the frame and bolt are. Like back in the old days where you had to make every polygon count this would have been a weapon that would be closer to its real design. Same thing for the FAMAS.
  • @AhmadSattout97
    I love Jonathan's holding his thoughts on the price of that AK. Probably something along "I could buy a real 1000 real AKs, latest models, for that price!"
  • @MrMattThor
    "Flick it to the rock and roll setting" is an incredible quote
  • @connormartin1618
    The scene from True Lies of the MAC-10 firing as it tumbles down the stairs, killing all the bad guys and leaving the heroes untouched has always stuck in my mind. Glad Jonathan remembers it too.
  • @Kalethekill
    The longer this series goes, the more I love the little back and forth with Dave and Jonathan
  • @NoNameForNone
    I find it interesting the "AK-47" iron sights are at a huge distance (>500m) playing on a map with a total distance corner to corner less than that.
  • @BlacKnight132
    I'm not sure if you were aware of this Dave, but since you've shown a skin of the negev to Jonathan instead of the base weapon, you've shown him the old, outdated model that's far less accurate than the modern cs2 model (most skins in cs2 retain the old csgo model). I hope Jonathan sees the new Negev model and gives his review about the newer model.
  • @Strawbed
    For the FAMAS and other weapons that aren't supposed to be available to all nations, it may be because back then Counter Strike had the possibility to choose where your character is from (SAS, GIGN etc.) So it made a little more sense.
  • @batcat4136
    I love you guys putting the names of the skins in the time stamps as well. Just that little bit of extra effort that I respect so much
  • @Arelated
    Jonathan's Weapon reviews never get old
  • @bokchoycowboy
    Very old and niche game but would love to see Jonathan have a gander at Fistfull of Frags. Tons of old west guns would be fun to listen to him talk about.
  • @satoruriolu6132
    I would love to see Jonathan reacting to Receiver 2. The game simulates every part of the weapon, from spring to bolt, you can operate every part from hammer to tapping the mag to make sure its seated correctly, to malfunctions and ways of clearing them. I'm even inclined to provide videos if necessary
