    These weapons videos are turning into an excellent little series.

    I've watched probably hundreds of German tank videos over the years, but never once have seen an actual demonstration of magnetic mines and Zimmerit paste!! So fascinating to see a full demonstration of it. You guys are doing God's work!

    Wow. Never seen such an extensive overview, even with the actual artefacts, both the weapons and their targets.

    Thanks Darryl for the Edu-me-cation .I only knew half of them . The 80 years ago is starting to show their simple construction methods and age while we live in a circuit board era

    I've seen more cool stuff in first three minutes than in few episodes of the anti tank chats. I hope you'll guys have time to restore those items as well at some point to a perfect condition.

      Hey congrats on the prize. Idiots.
      Totally agree about tTM anti-tank chats - the presenter has the personality of a dead bass and it's basically a talking head presentation. I don't watch them anymore.

    Shaped charges don't 'burn' through armour, they use the kinetic energy of the explosively formed copper penetrator to force their way through armour, the copper then spalls in the tank killing the crew and detonating any ammo in the tank.

    The best part of this museum content is the technical details on vehicles and weapons , other channels just repeat the same things we all heard a thousand times. Here they take you into a Pz III engine bay and explain everything in detail while they make repairs amazing !!

    One thing of note- HEAT rounds do NOT "burn" or "melt" through the armor. At the speeds of the kinds of detonations HEAT rounds operate in, the liquid metal is, itself, the penetrator- there is not enough time to transfer heat energy into melting the armor of the tank that is being hit.
    The explosives focus the wave of the inner "cup" onto itself, adding all the energy together into a focused, standing wave. This propels the metal well over hypersonic speeds, easily past mach 5, 6, 7, etc. The liquid metal is simply going fast enough to punch through the armor as if it were a conventionally fired round. At those speeds, a grain of sand would do the same thing- imagine it like micrometeorites hitting space stations.

  • @markdwyer314
    @markdwyer314 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Very good work! A couple of minor points for those interested in shaped charges. The standoff gives the correct distance for proper formation of the jet (formed from the liner) and for focusing explosive force on one spot. Not dissimilar to how you focus light from a magnifying glass to a tiny spot.
    The liner of the conical shaped charge is of great importance. From memory these ones used copper, which was found to be a great liner. Glass works well also. I believe modern charges use alloys.
    The explosive must be a high velocity type such as composition B etc. Types such as ammonium nitrate based, medium velocity dynamite and the like don't work anywhere near as well, or at all.
    Also, the position of the detonator is key, it must be above the apex of the cone for proper shockwave propagation.
    Generally, standoff is 2-3 times the diameter of the cone.
    Shaped charges also come in other forms such as linear charges, some types of shaped charge use plastic explosive with no liner, such as the diamond charge.

    Simple but well explained and that is perfect for someone who has never seen these items. What is funny is that there is a German training film where they show how to use them. Men Against Tanks. However a war movie called Cross of Iron Also showed these destroying Soviet vehicles. In the very late 1980s to early 1990s I used these films to train my Assault Troopers in 4/19 PWLH. Please keep up excellent series.

    I mean who doesn't like a rifle grenade with a "safety" bullet catch that you're never supposed to use because they expect you to have propelling blanks at the ready in the heat of battle... Right? :) I bet more than half them went downrange a few grains heavier than expected...

  • @billyponsonby

    I think the cone is copper and is flipped inside out on detonating thus shaping the plasma jet funnel-like.

    great insight into tank weaponry - i remember as a kid building model kits and seeing the magnetic mines in 1:35 scale, but i never really know much about them and with no internet then, sourcing good valid information was less easy unless you know what books to look for, Jane's Infantry etc - but learning now why tanks were covered in that material makes perfect sense now - great video - i love this stuff
    there is a little old fella in the UK by the name of Sidney Alford (86 died in 2021 sadly, i was a great fan of him) sometimes seen on tv working his magic in explosives, did a lot of explosives using water to hit targets behind walls, like chemical weapons hidden in a container, very effective, the man was a genius

    @johnporajski9814 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video, however I feel the need to note that, shaped charges don't actually "burn" through armour. It's a misconception from the acronym HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) the explosive actually accelerates the copper (by use of the cone) into an extremely fast moving jet/penetrator. Which penetrates armour using the same principle of kinetic penetrators.

  • @DrewPWeenie1
    @DrewPWeenie1 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! When the explosive is set off inside the head, it turns the cone, which is made of copper, inside out and and that turns it into basically a super heated copper bullet. When you see these that have hit a target you get a little explosive burn but there is a small hole where the cone went in, separated and had its way. 10 years USMC 6 years training fng’s on weapons systems. OORAH!

    Man's ingenuity in creating objects to maim and kill is horrifically and disturbingly fascinating. Just imagine if only half of that intellect and money had or could be used for, say, education or feeding people or disease eradiction. Also, I think that the cone becomes inverted on detonation and that concentrates the energy into a small jet.
