Firearms Expert Jonathan Ferguson Explains the Most Common Gun Mistakes in Games

Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, says the most persistent gun mistake in games is shotguns being completely non-lethal at a set distance, though he thinks many developers have wised up. Ferguson consulted on Hell Let Loose: Vietnam and voiced audio descriptions for its weapons and grenades. He also notes that realism sometimes requires games to be less realistic, such as pistol slides moving slower than in reality.
