A Guided Tour of the Big Guns at the Big Sandy Shoot

- The October 2018 Big Sandy Shoot saw the largest turn out of big guns on record. Robert Bigando, AKA "Dangerous Bob" gave us a tour of the nearly two dozen big guns on display at the event.
The Big Sandy Shoot is a biannual event that takes place near Wikieup, Arizona, in April and October of each year. The event attracts hundreds of shooters, machine guns and large caliber guns. The most recent shoot was held from October 20 to 22, 2017. It saw the largest turn out of big guns in the event's 30 year history. This included the largest civilian owned gun - the 152mm Russian D20 howitzer.
These guns are owned by big gun enthusiasts such as Bigando. He bought his first 20mm when he was only 20 years old. In fact, he had to wait until he was 21 to be able transfer it to himself. It didn't take long for him to go from the 20mm, to a 25mm, to a 57mm, to a 90mm and so on. Bigando is now a sought after expert in the domain. He had three guns at Big Sandy, and worked on many of the others.
According to Bigando, owning a big gun is very similar to owning a machine gun in terms of both paperwork and cost. "A good Bofors gun can probably be picked up for $25,000." he said. "So you got to ask yourself, what would you rather have? An M-16, or a 37mm Bofors?"
Which gun would you rather have?

Not showing the hit from the 152mm gun should be considered a crime against humanity!
somewhere behind the dust cloud!!
Hit to your house I understande?
It was Russian, detonation was probably blinding
Is this a similar version of the gun in the kv-2?
@@acuramattb4525 lol no
seeing a man and his wife sit on a canon like that and shoot toghether is the most american thing i have ever seen.
apart from them not beeing fat enough :-D
We can all only hope to be like them.
^minud what this jackass says.
Amen! Then that night "her" son burnt his hands on a Mini Gun's glowing barrels, now that is Good Stuff, can't make it up!
True, I was there, gave the boy a cold soda to hold, as Mom pointed and laughed, telling him "that will learn you!" don't touch "things" that aren't yours!
@@davefellhoelter3299 lmao
Nah, the utter disdain for the multiple mass shootings that occur each week is the most Americans thing i know of. Americans are simply more murderous than other nations. Exceptionalism at its finest.
I am 14 and that kid in the blue shirt was my brother, me and him went there for for my Make a Wish! I loved the 152 Soviet! Huge gun nut! I love the history and mechanics behind them!

Aitor Tilla awwww, u sad, why? You sound pissed, like you hate guns
My father was a 3" gunner and later gun commander with the 630th TD Battalion in Europe in WWII. He got all his confirmed tank-kills with the 3". The battalion later (early '45') was equipped with M36s with the 90mm. Would love to get a close look at that gun!! Super!!
Rest of the world. "Why do you need these guns".
Americans. "For home protection".
need some protection against all these looters xD
to compensate for a lack of penis
Murica!!!
I agree, they are very cool, but that have no place in civilIans hands, same with the m16 for that matter!
I need that 152mm for home defense
Im not gonna act like my guns are for defense they're just sum good fucking fun
All civilians need a little artillery.

when I was in vietnam, used to stand behind our sell-propel 155mm guns and watch them fired into the DMZ, you could see the rounds take off and disappear in the distance, awesome sight.
When I was in nam my buddies and I would take turns sucking each other off. Great times

once I find one of the 88 mm german FLAC barrel in small village near the Volgograd Russia as a part of the old fence. Local population use mashinegunse, rifles, and cannon barrels as construction materias without wood supplice after the war.

and I moan at the cost of a 303 round
paul white .60 cents if you reload :)
yep . and I thought 8x57 was getting expensive !
@@DrRichtoffen1 That's still steep!
I wonder how much the D-30's shells cost.. Like damn..
@@mrwdpkr5851 Yup. All that is really left that "cheap" are the corrosive primed Yugo/Czech/Turkish stuff. Thank the MG42 guys for that lmao
Oh, to be able to feel that concussion again after all these years would be great. Thanks for putting his video up for me to look at.
To put the sheer power of the 152mm gun into perspective. It fires a 6 inch, 46-56kg high explosive projectile with or without a ballistic cap (anti-concrete rounds), with dedicated armour piercing and HEAT rounds being developed after WW2. The explosive blast yield alone was enough to knock out all of the German "big cats" (Tiger, Panther, King Tiger, etc...) with a direct hit. It was so monstrously powerful that it would crack them wide open, dislodge turrets, and create such a massive spalling effect inside the tank that it was nearly impossible to survive. It effectively earned the Russian tank destroyers that mounted it the name "beast killer". I would not want to be anywhere near the shell blast of one of those.
Imagine being the poor soul hit by the 183mm
"Same basic paperwork as owning a machine gun" In New Zealand basic paperwork gets you a Honda Civic lol
Actually machine guns (full auto weapons) are really expensive, so not very many people own them, and the rules on them are strict
Ha ha ha , thats funny
You just cross out "Honda Civic" and write in "Artillery Gun"
I'm proud to be an American nut if that's the case, I've been to the Big Sandy several times it's a real blast every time.
Wow, thanks for the video. I can't even imagine the thrill of firing one of these big boys, I know how big my smile was the first time I fired an M4 with a bump stock!
I miss all the german PAK guns
Julian Kern what happened to them
They have a PAK 36.
@@Hermann-lz2jbnothing, they just dosnt have one.
Same
@@f.m.m1257 except for that one PAK 36. I know I've seen a PAK 40 at this event, pretty sure Gun Jesus has a video on it
Can you get that 152mm for home defence?
I don't se why not
What do you think he has it for?
😂😂😂😂😂
Pyro Norway $100 bucks at Walmart.
Yeah i hear the rubber bullet rounds are pretty effective at close range of up to 10 miles
I wanna go! Looks like so much fun
Those guys shooting in sequence are having waaaaay too much fun! :)
I Love those Guns 😎👍😁
I would love to have one of them , but I can't, Canadian law is sucks.....lol......
Great show Buddy !!!!!!!
Can’t spell party,without Arty...
My father told me in one of the rare moments he talked about WWII said there was nothing more terrifying than a German artillery barrage with 88's! He said that there is no such thing as an atheist in a fox hole under attack from German 88's..
Jonathan Kovacs great story, but it's possible that your dad mixed up the 88 with another higher calibre weapon, because I don't think that the 88mm had very big high explosive rounds, they were mainly anti tank and anti aircraft guns so the ammunition wasn't designed for artillery barrages, the 10.5cm and the 15cm would have been much worse during a barrage.
@@simonyip5978 I guess 88mm is enough if you´re on the receiving end...And yes, there were HE rounds.
American troops tended to call ALL artillery 88's
@@ronalddavis I think the same thing happened with German tanks, many allied troops were convinced that they were up against tiger tanks but the total number of tigers was less than 2000 built from 1942 to 1944/45 (?).
Concerning the 88 was a high velocity gun I recon he was mistaken for other low velocity guns
Big guns *are* addictive.
I tell people all the time... Being a corporal tank gunner on the first gen of M1's in Germany in the way back? Yeah, best job I ever had!
Excellent video! Beautiful weapons. My god.
real awesome ... God Bless America .. greetings from Brazil
Might be awkward for concealed carry. "Is that a Howitzer in your pocket or are you just really, really, really happy to see me?" 😁
nice collection..good video on an excellent subject...Glorious sounds they are
lol the shirt of the guy say "drunk artillery shooters club" I totally want to become a member!!
Nothing says being an American and FREEDOM like this does !
Awesome! I love it!
I was a number 1 man on a self propelled M110 Howitzer in the Army. It's a really big blast!!!💥💣
When I was a Marine in Vietnam, ('66-'67), with 2nd Battalion, 11th Marines, 1st MarDiv, we were joined by a crew of Army soldiers in the Tam Ky area just west of Hwy 1 in I-Corps. They crewed this huge 175 mm gun. Talk about a blast!
Excellent ! Beautiful machinery !
After a career in the Field Artillery, I can tell you that the smell of cordite gets in your blood.
It smells like victory.
Imagine driving down a highway and seeing a truck towing a 152mm artillery piece
Very cool 😎 keeping history alive one shell at a time
D20 Russian , WOW , Thanks for bringing it along !!! Im From Poland , Living in the USA AS A Citizen. Thank You for the video !
Glad you're here. Just don't vote for democrats or these freedoms will eventually go away.
And here I am just upgrading from a .22 to a 9mm 😂
Thank God we live in a free country, pass the ammo!
What a cool display of antiques guns, I'd love to have been there during this filming!
Super informative and great video!
Thanks for the presentation. very nice, I want one.
The "US 57mm" is actually a British 6 pdr anti tank gun made in the US
who cares
Shh don't tell them, they're happy in ignorance
@@norcal9168 I know no one cares - but I like the fact that I have at least learned something in my life...unlike a certain commenter...
@@redsquare8256 wow bro you can name a random old canon you've learned so much!!!
Nothing but a bunch of level-headed, knowledgeable enthusiasts. And these kind are the general enemy of most politicians.
What a great fun in this big Land U.S.A! I like it soooo much👌this is pure love for this rare weapon's
Just added Big Sandy Shoot to my bucket list.
damn so close to being Robert BiGUNdo big gun enthusiast
The house on the hill, is it rental? My in-laws are looking to rent a house!
Honestly really like how he edited it as explanation then shot. I thought that was perfect. Not all but most
where do you get the ammo for these - most of these rounds have to homemade. I load for my 50bmg but this way cool
note on the description, you should say "semi annual", biannual means "every two years". I'd love to go see the big booms some time!
God Bless America.
Why ?
Paul Mauer did you not see the video?
Yes , i do. because ..
😂😂😂
Paul Mauer 👍👍
"God" 😂
got to love the fact that the biggest gun here is a Russian howitzer!
Thats because old Russian and Soviet stuff litters battlefields all over the middle east
Not to mention in the former Soviet Republics everything in for sale at the right price
I love the sweet sound of artillery in the morning
*Liberals* “you’d never need a gun like that”. *me* “it’s for home defense”
Nate Thompson Me: "well i record sound effects and i need this to record sounds for your precious movies and video games. Too bad you dont ever go outside other wise you'd understand."
You never know when a troop of enemy soldiers will camp out a mile from your house.
poisonsquid37 dam straight
Kafko calm down their kido
I'm actually army so yea
those guns are perfect for conceal carry!
Just curious but for the light and heavy guns/howitzers, do you reload for that and have a CNC shop cut out a few solid projectiles. Interested because I’ve always wondered.
THAT WAS A GREAT BANG!!👍
An artillery piece behind every blade of grass .....
Be nice to have a camera close to the target to show accuracy and impacts.
"What a phenomenal video!!
Damn.
Never knew they look so beautiful in color.
"Way overcomplicated..." apt description of all german ww2 weapons
Nah, Kar98K was pretty simple.
cough... Panzerfaust.
“It’s a neat gun but overly complex”
what else did you expect Germany to do XD
Awesome collection
Wonder if they make hollow point bullets for the 152mm for home defence so they wont go thru walls
No one is going to comment that this guys name is Robert Big-Gun-Do?
In India ...it's illegal to own a Sword 😧
...wow im sorry
And that's fine. What's not fine is to be able to own a gun or an artillery piece.
Hahaha because they can't handle
@@aitortilla5128 CDC reports that there are between 500k and 3 million defensive firearm uses in the US every year, thats at least 500k women not raped, children not kidnapped, people not murdered, robbed, or beaten. There are 12k firearm homicides every year in the US, the CDC also reports that 80% of these deaths are gang related. Solve the gang problem and you solve the imaginary gun problem. The benefits of the populace being able to own firearms massively out weighs the negatives that comes with it.
Then again, gun control has never been about gun safety, its about controlling a populace by making them unable to defend themselves. Hell, look at the UK, police get sent to your home if you say something mean on the internet. In 10 years, people there will be jailed for saying the wrong words.

What about .600 intro express gun?
@@timmayer8723 in what? Gender studies? Lol
Awesome video!
what's better for home defence a m16 or a 37 mm Bofors
Danm you can own a D20 some places and we cant get certain hand guns in california, this place i wearing on my soul.
Tony Marbulz can you imagine the damage you could do to a home with one these. Theirs a home intruder and then theirs a 127mm she'll flying straight through every supporting wall in your house.
It would be virtually impossible to get ammunition for that.
Welcome to Arizona. We don't fuck around.
Nick Coltrane but they do manage to anyway haha
Nick Coltrane there is actually this online store by someone called Paul mulhay or something and he sells artillery rounds like 152mm, although he, aphe, heat, chemical rounds, everything you can think of. Even rocket rounds
That German cannon is over engineered, that is German 👉 QUALITY folks.👍

@@glockedie Engaging at the wrong time in the wrong place indeed
@@GuuMonster With wrong equipment
@@glockedie the winter was a small piece in a large puzzle, even if the Germans invaded and camped down during winter, or even chose a different time to invade, they couldn't have won. Under no circumstance was a Axis victory possible, unless they changed their entire doctrine.
One of my most favourite Russian D-20 artillery...!!
how do you clean up the uxo and waste from the hazardous waste rounds?
Only legal to make and fire inert projectiles. No explosive rounds. Limits like a fraction of a ounce in the projectile max.
Ok, NOW, i have a good reason to visit the USA.
me too
So jealous, I’m an ex gunner British Army, if only we had somewhere like this in the U.K.!!!🤔 Love theD-20, came under fire from them once, not pretty! Thought I’d see the D-30 though?
I am English, but want to know what the sound of this video is? That's the sound of Freedom, the type of Freedom we both wish we had, we live under a nanny state.. I wish we could enjoy the same type of society that America has, the main reason we dont get to enjoy anything like this is because of our nanny state system.
Where did you get those fired at you?
I feel sorry for good Brits like you all. It's sad what Europe has become and getting worse too.
Which gun is that at 0:28 as 20mm caliber..!?!
Those 152mm rds are for the sherradin tank, they are m411a3 target practise tracer, i have one right here along with about 1000lbs of other types, so far my bedroom floor is still holding up. I would shure like to scrounge that backstop hill if it was closer.
So i can own a 16 inch or 18 inch gun ?
If you are a very rich U.S. Citizen, and can pass the two investigations, required by the Transfer process, then you could indeed own a Battle ship's Gun. But remember,, Rich. It's going to cost you big time to purchase, maintain, and Feed a Rifle of that size.
@@beardo52 Right you are. The nominal charge for the 16in gun was 6 bags of D839 propellant, each on weighing 110 pounds, so a full charge is 660 pound of propellant for a single show lol and that's if you can even get D839
Walking all day arround the field but then, a 152mm boys says :
Hello komred
I wanna know how they got a pak gun and how much it cost
How do me make sure that there is no other person on the hills that they are shooting at?
i love the USA
Stalin loved artillery. it was his queen of the battlefield.
Never give them up!!!
That D20 was a BEAST!
Funny how you can have 152mm artillery guns in america but not a .22 Lr AR in Australia
Need this stuff in Virginia right now
I live in VA and I was just hoping that there are some people near by that are packing some heat like this.
Sitting on the Tank range at Fort Carson, with a case of beer is MORE FUNNER. Did have to stay inside the vehicle, but could feel the pressure wave hit on each shot.
So where do they get the shells?
It’s good to be American
