Watch Loadout Episode 3: How Warhammer 40k's Bolter Was Created
<p dir="ltr">Whether it's video games, movies, or TV shows, entertainment is filled with iconic tools of warfare, and much of the stories we love are defined by them; the Pulse Rifle is synonymous with the Aliens franchise; the Man With No Name's mystique and effortless cool is heightened by the revolver he whips out in the squint of an eye; and the sound of a bullet from the Intervention hitting an enemy immediately conjures up Call of Duty-flavoured nostalgia.</p><p dir="ltr">These weapons are the focus of Loadout, a new show that will identify some of pop culture's most influential armaments and explore them in-depth. Each week, host Dave Jewitt will tackle a different weapon, delve into its origins, examine how it has been used, and lay out the impact it has had on pop culture.</p><p dir="ltr">In Episode 1, Loadout takes hold of the revolver, a legendary weapon that has been present from the earliest days of cinema to the current era of video games. Why is it so popular? For Episode 2, Dave takes a look at The Intervention, a weapon that Call of Duty players will be intimately familiar with and, given its status as arguably the most meme-able video game weapon, you may know it even if you haven't played the shooter series. For Episode 3, Dave delves into the world of Warhammer 40k to explore the history of an iconic sci-fi weapon.</p><p dir="ltr">New episodes of Loadout will air every Saturday and you can find them on GameSpot's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/gamespot">YouTube channel</a>--make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode.</p><h3 dir="ltr">Episode 3: The Bolter</h3><div data-embed-type="video" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Glu0GmyTJyo" data-width="100%" data-height="100%"><iframe class=optanon-category-4 data-src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FGlu0GmyTJyo%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&wmode=opaque&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DGlu0GmyTJyo&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FGlu0GmyTJyo%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=4de70bf370934f33a67422a7b05063bd&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div><h3>Episode 2: The Intervention</h3><div data-embed-type="video" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iehpiOXu6Xo" data-width="100%" data-height="100%"><iframe class=optanon-category-4 data-src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FiehpiOXu6Xo%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&wmode=opaque&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DiehpiOXu6Xo&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FiehpiOXu6Xo%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=4de70bf370934f33a67422a7b05063bd&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div><h3>Episode 1: Revolvers</h3><div data-embed-type="video" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKr-coIT5oI" data-width="100%" data-height="100%"><iframe class=optanon-category-4 data-src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FgKr-coIT5oI%3Fwmode%3Dopaque&wmode=opaque&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DgKr-coIT5oI&key=4de70bf370934f33a67422a7b05063bd&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div><h3 dir="ltr"> </h3><p> </p>
