At the beginning of the 'Numbers' level, there are 6 NOVA6 tanks that you must shoot (so they leak). Then head back in the small room with the level's first intel there will be a recorder (the one seen in the video), hold the [Interact] button until you see the cassette in the recorder disappear. Keep progressing in the level, once in Clarke's first weapon cache, look at the other recorder, hold the [Interact] button once again: you'll hear a small sound, some numbers, hold [Interact] again and voilà.
There are no prompts on-screen to inform you that you can interact with these recorders. Enjoy.
Besides, if the game was "realistic, you'd get shot once, be medivaced, and be layed up in a hospital for over 3 months going though physical therepy....which doesn't sound like that good a time if you ask me.
So it's Arcade, I'd rather something be fun and detached than boring and "realistic".
This is an easter egg weapon, it's not something you can come across without knowing what you're doing or getting very lucky. Uncharted 2 has plenty of options to alter gameplay in it to make it even more unrealistic, but you don't complain about that do you?
lmfso. The lightning gun is primarily in the zombies mode, this is nothing more then an easter egg in the single player... One im interested in learning how to do

The campaign in every COD until MW2 was on a good level of realism. Fun, but not retardedly arcade. MW2 and beyond its just dumb

it is a hidden gun, deal with it
if you think it is too "arcade" then don't go through the elaborate process you have to to get it
