With the release of Battlefield 6 last weekend, we get to watch former Air Force special warfare member Garand Thumb as he reviews and compares the real-life counterparts of weapons featured in the Battlefield 6 open beta in August, praising the game for its commitment to accurately modeling military firearms. He demonstrates the real-world handling, firing, and reloading of guns like the M4A1, AK-205 (AK-105), M417, and M249 SAW, often noting how closely the game's sound, low recoil characteristics, and detailed reload animations—down to specific optics and accessories—match the actual weapons, which should appeal to both gamers, airsofters and gun enthusiasts for its high degree of realism.
