I hope they bring back all of these guns in Stalker 2 but with more moddable features. Removing the scopes from the G36 and F2000 would be cool for example. Also hoping for the ASh-12, the Groza's big brother 😵
My absolute favorite is the SG550, such a smooth shooter. It's like an AK and a M4 had a baby. Best of both worlds!
G36 is my favourite assault rifle both in the zone and the real world.Can't wait to use it in STALKER 2. As for SMGs my favourite gun the PP19 bizon was never in the main games but in some mods.I hope it will also be included in S2.
The Krink is where it's at. If it's good enough for The Strelok then it's good enough for you!
I love your videos, can’t wait for the content you’ll make on stalker 2
Groza 😍😍😍
Anomalous i have a question in the shadow of chernobyl i hear a strange sound of a cat this is the sound of the excluded mutant cat?also awesome video mate👍
The fraiser is weird because its like the UMP45 but they didnt want to make a new model, haha
🤍
1 tap strat for life
GIVE ME ALL THE GUNS
☢☢☢
Today is a good day, A new Anomalous Dugout and I found my old STALKER SoC on CD-rom from the old days. Almost thought it was gone :)))
I probably haven't commented enough on your videos but I really like them. Your lore video, even these ones which are from a more technical perspective, he a real flair for storytelling that fits so well with the STALKER series.
Have my sub stalker man
The weapons doesnt look right annoy me. The Arsenal Mods, however is just too big and add to much. All i want are the Cartridge ejectors and pulling handles be on the correct sides.
I played Stalker CoP a few years ago and just last month I started streaming SoC. I found your videos while searching for something about the game and now I'm in a rabbit hole. I've watched a lot of your old and new videos and I just love how the way you pronounce words hasn't goten better or worse. I love the way you talk ❤
Some people might criticize him referring to the suppressor as a "muffler", but both suppressors and vehicle mufflers were based on the same original design by Maxim, and in some countries vehicle mufflers are called silencers. Also, the de facto usage of "suppressor" by gun nerds is just a shibboleth. In the US at least, firearm suppressors are legally considers "silencers"
I'm so happy you can still find things to talk about for Stalker, I love your voice bro
I remember finding by accident (from the YT main page, blessed by the algorithm that gave something good for once) videoguide that tells you how to get unique Groza 5,45 in ShoC since Sid sells it before we get the flash drive from the Nimble. Didn't undestood a word, but that didn't stop me from trying.
What's funny with the Viper5 9×18 is that he preview image is actually a HK G53. You can tell by the larger curved magazine which is made to hold 5.56×45
I guess that Throphy AKM was supposed to be a folding stock 7.62×39 AKMS, but since there was no 7.62x39mm rounds in neither of STALKER games, they had to make do with sniper ammo.
Honestly, I think that 7.62x39mm would be a better alternative for 9x39mm as a late game rifle ammo, since it's way more popular than the latter, which is used exclusively by Russian Special Forces. It would basically make more sense.
This game is still so broken, and you have to play it to figure that out, so apparently, nobody actually plays it. LOL
It is still fun though if you can get around the Brokenness
Well, time to start a new Call of Pripyat save.
MORE VIDS LETS GO!
A single Mercenary NPC in Call of Pripyat uses the AN-94.
Great video! My favorite gun in the series is the G36 for how OP it is, but I also like pimping a run of the mill AK-74 into a DMR. I hope Stalker 2 is gonna feature an M16 since that's a weapon I really enjoy aesthetically.
Strelok's SIG or a scoped AS VAL, I'd still have a hard time choosing… love most of these rifles, they're the real classics of the zone
Minor correction on the FT-200M, the version of the F-2000 with the prototype fire control system was featured in the earliest builds of Shadow of Chernobyl, it can be identified by the "plate" sitting on top of the optic. The ones available in the release versions of the games possess the production model with a simple 1.6x telescopic sight, with the plastic around it being nothing but an empty shell.
I always enjoyed the AS VAL the most in any of the games for its high damage and ability to go full auto when needed
Are you going to do an episode on armor and helmets?
2:31 There was going to be an HK53 (compact 5.56) in an older build, but it got cut. They kept the icon. Would have been awesome to have an HK53 in the Zone. Imagine if it was spliced together with the GP-95 (a compact grenade launcher made for the 9A-91) with its mount modified to be more universal for the sake of use in the Zone.
3:17 The mag makes it look like an AKMSU in 7.62×39 but with a side-folding skeleton stock instead of a trashy under-folder. There's at least one mod that turns it into an AKMSU, adds 7.62×39 ammo, and even has a special version (found in Strelok's hideout) that fits in your pistol slot.
10:08 Too bad they screwed up the sights. That issue was fixed in most mods, including but not limited to various versions of Oblivion Lost, by revamping the in-view model so the sights lined up right.
11:03 / 12:17 Ackchyually, that's a GL5040. Military designation "Gewehraufsatz 97" (abbreviated "GwA.97"). It's made by SIG. Same concept as an M-203, but it has a different mounting system, plus it opens up using a different type of lever. IRL, it was made specifically for the SG550, but for Zone use, it makes sense that its mount might have been modified to allow it to be more universal.
12:07 It was also Strelok's signature rifle at the end of Clear Sky (which might explain it showing up as a Legendary weapon in CoP).
12:24 The reason the standard model doesn't accept a SUSAT scope is because it lacks a rail or other mounting system compatible with that type of scope. IRL, it accepts its own optic, but it makes sense that it wouldn't have found its way into the Zone. So savvy zonesmiths would have to figure out a way to "kludge" (to borrow a term from Ian McCollum) whatever scope they have available onto it.
13:34 It also has an awful dot sight on top of the scope for backup which you can't use in any of the core games. Various mods allow use of the combination sights, some going so far as to have different G36 variants with different sights. IMO, the best is the G36E from Oblivion Lost 2010 that has a scope with iron sights on top. The worst is the one from Anomaly that forces you to use the worthless dot sight for no reason.
15:27 Pointlessly limited range on the 40-mils, thereby rendering the sights useless (contrast with ShoC). A 40-mil wouldn't even arm at that distance! Btw, the factory name for that FN launcher is "EGLM," but it has other names too. Not sure what its military designation is.
16:41 Perhaps its biggest problem, specific to its grenade launcher configuration (OTs-14-4A-04), is that the rifle and launcher share the same trigger group, meaning that they have to be switched back and forth using a selector switch. Not a big deal in a video game, but a huge deal IRL, as pointed out by Max Popenker on an episode of Forgotten Weapons.
17:34 Based on the Groza-2 (which never materialized in our timeline). The Groza was planned to be made in four calibers: Groza-1 in 7.62×39 (which shows up in Anomaly), Groza-2 in 5.45 (which shows up in the core games), Groza-3 in 5.56, and Groza-4 in 9×39. Grenade launcher configuration for any of these ends with the number "04." The launcher is based on the GP-30, a successor of the GP-25 that never fully replaced the GP-25.
19:57 Depends on which game and/or mod. One thing's for sure. I like anything I can mount a grenade launcher on…

I absolutely love the G36. It has great handling, reliability, and looks so damn good! Between that, the MP5, and the USP, H&K does real good work.
