In this special episode, we join Jonathan Ferguson, an expert in firearms history, and the Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, to break down some of the weird and wonderful weapons of Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, including the M1911A1 Oversized, the Pentagun, and a pistol-sized Martini-Henry.

Plus, Jonathan receives a festive gift from none other than Anton Hand, the lead developer of H3VR, resulting in what might well be a world-first real-life cursed weapon…

Honestly, the Carry Handle Carry Handle actually should become part of the Museum collection. While it's totally wacky and silly it is also a demonstration of the way firearms are treated and depicted in modern popular culture.

The look of terror on Jonathan's face when Dave says to get something from under the tree...

@LDSG_A_Team 9 months ago

Man, it was very brave of Dave to show Jonathan all these cursed guns in person, within strangling distance 😂

Watching these guys enjoy the "carry handle, carry handle" is the very reason I love firearms and messing with them.

@crwydryny 9 months ago

Now johnathan has to hid that carry handle carry handle on a random rifle somewhere in the collection and see how long before someone finds it

@deaks25 9 months ago

The H3 dev actually having a functional “carry handle carry handle” to give to Jonathan is really cool. And it sounds like it’s surprisingly well designed for a joke.
I’d love to see that find it’s way into a display.
Also, I think Jonathan wins this round of cursed weapons: because the Royal Armouries seem to have a lot of these supposed cursed weapons.

I've low-key been waiting for that Train Whistle "suppressor" to be featured.. because I made it! Had the help of a friend to source train whistle noises after seeing someone ask for it on the H3VR subreddit, so I modeled it up and sent it to Anton.

Fun fact, it actually has internal ports in the barrel that lead to the "whistle" part. You never see it, but I thought it'd be fun to model that, plus the carbon build up you'd have on a wooden "suppressor". It's one of my favourite models I've made to this day.

36:38 Ok but imagine the actual psychological impact of being blasted by an airhorn in a CQB environement

@hugegiantmaniac 9 months ago

i don't think i could ever imagine jonathan ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the royal armouries museum in the uk, without gloved hands

@Taolan8472 9 months ago

Johnathan can't help but open wrapping paper like it's a sealed envelope addressed to the museum containing some priceless artifact of history.

So neat and tidy.

@Kataclysm113 9 months ago

fun fact about the giant 1911, its actually surprisingly effective in a firefight, because while it is quite difficult to aim and cumbersome to reload, it also functions as cover.

@thechlebek0 9 months ago

I want Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum to carry me with a carry handle.

@charger8624 9 months ago

My friend actually made that wooden train whistle asset for Anton. And over here in the US at least, there are wooden train whistles you would give to kids so they could unleash their inner train addict. Or to annoy a parent who isn't ready to hear train whistles all day.

I cannot communicate how happy I am that this channel exists, and that it's able to do these types of videos. I hope to see more new original ideas like this in the future.

@DanteDevil6 9 months ago

there is TECHNICALLY a Carry Handle Limit, its just when the game decides you cant and slows to a framerate CRAWL when you hold it

@PuppygirlXO16 9 months ago

20:57 the fact that this gun isn’t called the “Shortini-Henry” is crazy to me

@terrified5.7 9 months ago

13:12 "In twenty years time, there'd be some very confused curators!" Those same curators going to the throne room of Jonathan Ferguson, the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in the UK, which houses a collection of thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history, seeking clarity upon forgotten knowledge!

We need more goofy decorative attachments IRL, I could see Bass Pro Shop selling blindboxes of picatinny-attached gun hats and keychains

I love the friendship that you two seem to have developed over the course of this series. Now, I don’t know your personal lives, but I can only assume you started off as relative strangers at the beginning of this series. Now you’re sitting in person and sharing presents and inside jokes together for a Christmas special, long after the original series was dropped from GameSpot. Good on ya.
