When you space out the metal sheets, its created a tougher shield then if they were all held together. spacing is actualy used in tanks sometimes for extra protection.
You were shooting the rounds technically at spaced armour. I wonder how many it would go through if they were put one after another with no space in between.
i think maybe 10...these rounds have so much power, even when the round shattered into pieces it penetrated the steel plate behind In different sources i have read, that the rounds penetrated 30mm steel at 100m (almost 1,2 inches).
@SwiftMooseBlz Maybe newer armor but i promise you that the armor that the ladi would be firing at had no air gaps assuming ww2 germany. the rolled homogeneous steel that germany used had no gaps. russia with as slaped together as their tanks were once again the armor was solid steel. modern day armor on things like a cheiftain yes but im sure its in a honeycomb formation. dont quote me on that the tech that the britts are using is "top secret". and the Americans use ceramic in their armor. im not sure in what fashion all i know is they do.
For one I don't care the WoT ads, and I don't need an explanation of how this works and 5 minutes of loading the gun. Just came in for what the title says. Not everyone is dumb as shit.
it's nothing like 4 inches of homogeneous steel plate. spaced plate will stop more than equivalent thickness of single plate. also flexible mounting increases the level of protection. 6 plates being an inch and a half I know damn well it would penetrate over 2 inches equivalent steel.
Agreed, the plate spacing essentially created a Whipple shield. One of the most efficient armor types in regards to weight of system vs. stopping power. Fun fact, Used by NASA to stop micro meteorites/objects traveling much faster than bullets. That being said 6 plate penetration is an amazing accomplishment.
Spaced and flex plates absorb more energy than an equivalent thickness of solid plate. The Lahti could penetrate 30mm of steel, equivalent to 6 1/4 inch plates.
You are right about the flexible mounting. If all 4 edges of the plates were encased in wood, they would have been more rigid. The way they were in the video, they acted as a shock absorber.
Yes it could have been 2 minutes but he has to gain something from going out of his way to record all of this and make it, stop complaining its not like you pay to watch anyway
Actually, the spacing would increase the effective thickness of the material against a ballistic penetration by a small ammount. This is why spaced armour was used by early cold war tanks.
Keita Marislo It still will, side skirts are very thin as they are supposed to break or detonate shells before they reach the armor. Anti-tank guns have been historically shit against spaced armor, and that is why there’s also so much spaced armor everywhere on the PZ 4 H.
Improper test for an AP rifle. You put space between each plate which allows the round to expand and lose momentum. (note each hole gets progressively bigger) Do the test again with the plates welded together and you very well then punch twice as far. I can assure you with the kinetic energy in that round it will not ricochet. The manner they are used is to shoot within the trackwell (wheelwell) of a tank where the armor is thinnest to kill the driver so it can then be routed by Infantrymen with antitank weapons as it's then a sitting duck. Not to kill the tank itself.
Too be fair most tanks have either explosive or non explosive reactive armour. so this is a pretty decent test , a real armour would let even less pass threw.
I don't think it has much effect coz no energy is lost due to air. And holes get bigger coz the impulse get shorter and hence velocity and therefore the impact will get enough time to get shared to all neighborhood atoms.
The gun along with the slow mo camera footage made an incredible vid. I would certainly love to see this same setup with modern ammunition because as you said, moisture would most certainly get in and affect ignition. Even with the round that you managed to fire, I absolutely guarantee that its performance was hindered due to all the years between production and now
Where do you Buy a 20mm Anti Tank Rifle and WHERE THE HELL DO YOU BUY THE BULLETS FOR IT....???. Last time I checked my Local Wallmart was fresh out of Anti-Tank Rounds and I filed a complaint for lack of Product. Thanks. Captain America.
TechCheck: You're being sarcastic, aren't you? - what's funnier is that people take your comment seriously, at "face value" - "yeah, dude...AWWWWESOME!"
With standard "black tip" .50 BMG AP ammunition, you're looking at about an inch of hardened steel (or four of those plates). With the spacing of the plates, it'd likely go through three and dent the fourth.
Ethan Jordan Yes. All that work for one round? He has all that steel & really nice jig, why not throw as many different rounds as possible at it? Right? Nice camera tho.
A trend I always see with TH-camrs is having the plates spaced apart. This causes the shell to react as if it were penetrating spaced armor. This causes problems for Ballistic Capped shells as after its first penetration the fuse is set off, making it explode before hitting the next plate, which doesn't show its full potential.
I was always wondering what is easier to penetrate: 10 thin steel plates set with small gaps, like in this video, or 1 thick plate of the equal thickness
There is more to this video. This video captured the recoil of the weapon. Watch how the energy from the recoil travels down the gun into his shoulder and then watch how that energy transferred down his spine into his hips on back. The physic of the projectile from the trigger forward is expected and was amazing. Still I find the physics from the trigger back almost as fascinating. It was amazing how far the shooters body traveled. Amazing watching the energy traveling from the gun butt into his shoulder. The last hole on sheet 7 is cool as heck for me. What a good video.
A lot of bullet energy was lost to metal plates flexing and dissipating the energy over the surface of every plate as the bullet passed through. I suspect it would have gone through a few more plates if they were bound together and non-moveable. The views from different angles and shutter speeds was pretty cool.
Because a thing called adverfuckingtisment is part of business and it happens to be that TH-cam is a great place to advertise. Most people don't even watch anything on tv but the news now.
Against modern .50 it would be about the same, it was only good against light armor. It worked against the original PZ II but any tanks after that it was fairly useless unless you could manage to shoot the treads and de-track it
+SilvaDreams They have almost the same muzzle velocity but the 20mm is far more heavy. A 20mm shot from this rifle would certainly be superior over a .50.
The service AP munition from the L-39 is about 3 times the energy of the 12.7x99 /.50 BMG. The bullet from the 50 BMG weighs between 600, and 700 grains, while that of the 20x138B weighs about 2,500 grs.
TheBackyardScientist to be frank, no. even WWII tanks had enough armor to stop these shells, late war tanks had an effective armor thickness hitting 300+ mm. modern tanks have armor made out of multiple layers of super hard ceramics which would easily break up then absorb the shell. also, if you are the real backyard scientist, i love your stuff
Keth Wintham thanks for the info, I guess you could score a lucky shot and maybe disable (not destroy) the tank or at least some of it's instruments. And when you say effective armor of 300 mm, do you mean tanks actually ride around with that much armor plating or it would be the equivalent of 300 mm of steel? I'm just thinking that would be so heavy. I know tanks use a sort of stand off armor plating that makes shaped charge is much less effective, and I guess it would function like a whipple shield for any small caliber round.
TheBackyardScientist you would need a proper source to inform you on all of this, but i will give you as much as i can here. no, they would not carry that much armor, but there are ways to make it act that thick without being that thick. one of the primary ways is through the sloping/angling of armor. when a plate is sloped, the projectile hitting it has several problems. one is that the armor now has a face that isnt perfectly perpendicular to the point of the projectile, increasing the initial surface area it has to break through, and also increases the chance that the point wont create the small dent in the steel needed to guide it in, making it likely to glance off or start spinning end over end (which makes for pretty poor armor penetration). another problem it makes for the projectile is that even though the armor may only be 100 mm thick, the projectile has to go through more than that, because it is traveling partially upward through the plate. but some tanks do carry actual meter thick or greater armor. a modern m1a2 abrams is around 70 tons combat loaded, and uses a jet style turbine engine to compensate. the problem came when HEAT shells were invented, because they could punch through thousands of mm effective steel armor. this was essentially the cause for the invention of advanced composite armor, which is used on essentially every modern tank. i dont think this gun could do any serious damage to a modern tank, except in very specific and incredibly rare circumstances. abrams cost upwards of a few million bucks a piece, if something this cheap could disable them, they wouldn't be used. i highly suggest you search youtube for some videos which explain it better than i can here on my phone (where it is very hard to collect my ideas, then present them well, including everything with no redundancy.) this description is far from perfect, and is missing some pretty major things.
Keth Wintham thanks Keth, that's a great primer for me to start looking stuff up to learn more! I've read about the turbine engine in the Abrams tank before, it's an outstanding piece of technology , and it was designed to run on virtually any fuel. This kind of stuff fascinates me, and in an alternate life I would probably be working for the military developing weapons at china lake ;)
TheBackyardScientist definitely. im still young enough to pursue a career in chemical engineering (for explosives.) or military robotics, and would totally love to do that. i have had some interesting ideas about caseless ammunition and how to re-create greek fire, and have a bit of an addiction to it myself. if only i had the money, materials, and space to experiment with these things. :'( XD
When you separate the sheets like that the perforation will be less effective, because every sheet it trespass deforms a little bit the bullet and if you consider the friction of every perforation causing the bullet to bend or incline a little bit increasing the contact area. You can see the last holes more large than the first ones. In this case it would be effective to use an special kind of bullet instead, in order to keep the perforation the effective possible. It could be titanium tip, or put the sheets all together and I think it will pierce more than separating it.
my deceased friend Bob Ardle bought a 55 caliber Lahti anti-tank gun and had it re-barreled for 50 caliber. It took the same magazine, and we shot it repeatedly. It was awesome!
ok... ur experiment is improper... ur shooting at spaced armor not armor thickness, ur experiment should be armor thickness, spaced armor is better at stopping rounds
and u arnt wearing proper PPE (personally protective equipment) how is this channel up if ur experiment is so inaccurate and ur so dangerous while doing so... just mind blown
TAKTİKSEL BİLGİ depends on the tanks armor not all tanks have ceremic composite armor. some light tanks have rolled homogeneous armor and steel plates as there main protection. :')
I was messing around on Discord as I watched, and I started playing "(Dont Fear) The Reaper" as he shot the plates, and it honestly fits so well lmao Also I feel like you shouldn't have used spaced armor :/
I am working on a video of a Red Rider BB gun shooting through 1000 evenly spaced sheets of aluminum foil. After that, I plan on a video of shooting through 1000 evenly placed sheets of saran wrap. I am sure these videos will be as useful as this one, if any military vehicle is ever made like this. A 50 BMG and see how many prius's it will go through would be way funnier.
Spaced armor works best when the projectile's penetration ability is compromised by the first few plates so that, as in the test here, the ability to penetrate the later plates is degraded. This can be due to projectile damage, as here, spreading the area of impact wider and wider in each successive plate, or by deflecting the projectile on an oblique impact (using non-parallel plates perhaps) so that it hits the later plates at a higher angle, also increasing the hole size (more oval), or, also more effective at an oblique impact, causing the projectile to yaw or tumble due to inadequate spin stabilization, again making a bigger hole in the later plates. If none of that occurs, then parallel-plate spaced armor, as here, is usually significantly inferior to a solid plate of the same total thickness made up of the same steel and hardness hit at the same angle. Even laminated armor, where the thin plates are tightly pressed together by bolts or welding, would be better, though not by as much of an edge. We are talking about steel armor and pointed or oval-nosed AP projectiles that do not suffer complete shatter on an early plate's face (this is an extreme case of the progressive damage case). Against ceramic or multi=material composites (modern tank armor), things get much more complicated.
I always heard that air spaces are game changers. That, a round that might go through 3 inches will be stopped by three 1-inch plates separated by spaces
By loading it in to the magazine instead of the chamber, it reduces the velocity of the bolt by virtue of the fact that it has to strip a cartridge out of the magazine. Without that added resistence, the bolt travels faster than intended, which can either damage the bolt, or at worst can make the firing pin jump forward and unintentionally fire the round.
Arosankari What do you mean "does not try enough"? War Thunder tries to make it realistic by going off the tanks real stats. And they make you play smart by learning each tanks weakness to be able to successfully take them out. World of Tanks is honestly too arcade like for me, some tanks reload in 3 secs and their is a stupid health bar. But hey that's my opinion, you do you.
pay to win ??? that is only for premium vehicles and the premiums are not the best in their BR and the missiles aren't guided you have to manually steer them to their target which is a difficult task. also the game is well balanced i dont see why you say it isn't because you wont see a Tu-4 while you are flying in a F4U corsair but yes along time ago the game was unbalanced.
WT is "realistic" game. Thats true. You can be oneshoted by anybody and do the same to the other players, but when you meet a BOT tank, its nearly impossible to kill him because Gayjin said FU. And the game balance? Bitch, please, its even more russian bias than WOT.
Actually, this is how you set steel plates when you want to minimize the penetration of the bullet. The arrangement has been in use with WW II tanks, they had steel plate skirts around the tank, separated from the surface. Next time, try with a solid block of steel!
RAY RAY I meant that he should set up armor plates with different thicknesses and test the penetration. For example a sloped plate the thickness of the m4 sherman front armor. Etc
+White house gaming That would be epic. It's a shame, no one ever experiments with angled steel plates.. there are loads of videos with steel penetration tests but never at an angle!
Next time, send the other ammo type at whatever your shooting as well if possible. Who knows? If the ammo is fresher or has a lighter bullet, it might achieve higher velocities and penetrate better than you would expect. Either way you get crank off another round on camera! Love the slowmo!
+ultraboy222 I didn't say it would out perform the tungsten, just that it might do better than he would have expected. Especially if the powder was affected in the aged round he sent. Beside, who doesn't want to see a 20mm traditional bullet blow apart in super slow motion? That's a massive energy dump!
there are ABSOLUTELY 20mm DU rounds. I don't think you can buy them as a civilian, but they sure do exist. Kill bugs real dead. DU munitions are where "gulf war sickness" came from, from people inspecting shot out tanks that are full of DU dust. The advantage of DU and Tungsten is less in density, and more in sheer hardness. DU has an extra advantage because it's pyrophoric and self sharpening. It will spontaneously combust at firing speeds and as it pierces armor will always break in such a way that the tip is still sharp.
That gun looks like it has alot of mass, and the more mass of an object, the more kinetic energy required to induce motion. Between the size, the gas system, recoil springs and the muzzle break I bet that weapon has less recoil than a standard hunting rifle.
maxwell zefanya you don't need one. it's a single shot rifle so you have to be 18 to own it. only catch is you can't fire any explosive rounds. that would require licensing.
Ok. Not being a dick. Wouldn't the accuracy of actual armor penetration be better shown with solid pieces of steel? Because the gaps between (I would imagine) would give problems to the ballistics.

can you do a comparision between 50 cal AP vs 20mm against 16 plate of steel
With standard "black tip" .50 BMG AP ammunition, you're looking at about an inch of hardened steel (or four of those plates). With the spacing of the plates, it'd likely go through three and dent the fourth.
think 50 cal black tip can go through atleast 6 plates of steel
Considering there's air between the plates the 50 cal would likely only go through the fist 2 and **maybe** the 3rd.
penetrating 1'' of steel is not the same as 4x 0.25'' plates though, or am i wrong ?

Because a thing called adverfuckingtisment is part of business and it happens to be that TH-cam is a great place to advertise. Most people don't even watch anything on tv but the news now.
Cloгох Вleacн Actually, CNN attracts more viewers than TH-cam, so WoT should be there instead.

10 minute video to shoot 1 lousey ass bullet?....Seems like TH-cam has bamboozled me again!
That's how the "cool crowd" rolls...............dude.

Any idea how rare that round is? It's worth more than your nutsack.
Pughy2o06 its not about that tho but you do have a point
Oden Son its worth more than 7000$ damn! (Fun fact each ball is. Worth 3500 so 7k for both )
This is what you need for all those SWAT Lenco Bearcats.
i wish they used a 50cal for comparison
Against modern .50 it would be about the same, it was only good against light armor. It worked against the original PZ II but any tanks after that it was fairly useless unless you could manage to shoot the treads and de-track it
+SilvaDreams They have almost the same muzzle velocity but the 20mm is far more heavy. A 20mm shot from this rifle would certainly be superior over a .50.
Jörg Schäffer With a modern load it would make a difference but not with the older ones.
The service AP munition from the L-39 is about 3 times the energy of the 12.7x99 /.50 BMG. The bullet from the 50 BMG weighs between 600, and 700 grains, while that of the 20x138B weighs about 2,500 grs.
beardo52 exactly
Wow that punched through a lot of steel, with this rifle be a danger to modern-day tanks?
TheBackyardScientist
to be frank, no. even WWII tanks had enough armor to stop these shells, late war tanks had an effective armor thickness hitting 300+ mm.
modern tanks have armor made out of multiple layers of super hard ceramics which would easily break up then absorb the shell.
also, if you are the real backyard scientist, i love your stuff
Keth Wintham thanks for the info, I guess you could score a lucky shot and maybe disable (not destroy) the tank or at least some of it's instruments. And when you say effective armor of 300 mm, do you mean tanks actually ride around with that much armor plating or it would be the equivalent of 300 mm of steel? I'm just thinking that would be so heavy. I know tanks use a sort of stand off armor plating that makes shaped charge is much less effective, and I guess it would function like a whipple shield for any small caliber round.
TheBackyardScientist
you would need a proper source to inform you on all of this, but i will give you as much as i can here.
no, they would not carry that much armor, but there are ways to make it act that thick without being that thick. one of the primary ways is through the sloping/angling of armor. when a plate is sloped, the projectile hitting it has several problems.
one is that the armor now has a face that isnt perfectly perpendicular to the point of the projectile, increasing the initial surface area it has to break through, and also increases the chance that the point wont create the small dent in the steel needed to guide it in, making it likely to glance off or start spinning end over end (which makes for pretty poor armor penetration).
another problem it makes for the projectile is that even though the armor may only be 100 mm thick, the projectile has to go through more than that, because it is traveling partially upward through the plate.
but some tanks do carry actual meter thick or greater armor.
a modern m1a2 abrams is around 70 tons combat loaded, and uses a jet style turbine engine to compensate.
the problem came when HEAT shells were invented, because they could punch through thousands of mm effective steel armor. this was essentially the cause for the invention of advanced composite armor, which is used on essentially every modern tank.
i dont think this gun could do any serious damage to a modern tank, except in very specific and incredibly rare circumstances.
abrams cost upwards of a few million bucks a piece, if something this cheap could disable them, they wouldn't be used.
i highly suggest you search youtube for some videos which explain it better than i can here on my phone (where it is very hard to collect my ideas, then present them well, including everything with no redundancy.) this description is far from perfect, and is missing some pretty major things.
Keth Wintham thanks Keth, that's a great primer for me to start looking stuff up to learn more! I've read about the turbine engine in the Abrams tank before, it's an outstanding piece of technology , and it was designed to run on virtually any fuel. This kind of stuff fascinates me, and in an alternate life I would probably be working for the military developing weapons at china lake ;)
TheBackyardScientist
definitely. im still young enough to pursue a career in chemical engineering (for explosives.) or military robotics, and would totally love to do that.
i have had some interesting ideas about caseless ammunition and how to re-create greek fire, and have a bit of an addiction to it myself. if only i had the money, materials, and space to experiment with these things. :'( XD

That’s fricking power,love the slo-mo.by the time you hear the rifle report you see the strike flash except on the armor piercing,good job
After the Demoranch video, that's perfect
+Nembokid sweet! I gotta check that out
FullMag Oh my god! Love youuuuu
thougth the same ahah
Slowmotion awesome!
Kenep Omsk I was thinking the same thing lol
When you separate the sheets like that the perforation will be less effective, because every sheet it trespass deforms a little bit the bullet and if you consider the friction of every perforation causing the bullet to bend or incline a little bit increasing the contact area. You can see the last holes more large than the first ones. In this case it would be effective to use an special kind of bullet instead, in order to keep the perforation the effective possible. It could be titanium tip, or put the sheets all together and I think it will pierce more than separating it.
Isn't this the concept of spaced armor?
my deceased friend Bob Ardle bought a 55 caliber Lahti anti-tank gun and had it re-barreled for 50 caliber. It took the same magazine, and we shot it repeatedly. It was awesome!
Nice video! Well done!
+soopr38 thank you!!!!!!
Is this thing good for hunting? It's something I want to buy to help me hunt rabbits and badgers?
soopr38
ok... ur experiment is improper... ur shooting at spaced armor not armor thickness, ur experiment should be armor thickness, spaced armor is better at stopping rounds
and u arnt wearing proper PPE (personally protective equipment) how is this channel up if ur experiment is so inaccurate and ur so dangerous while doing so... just mind blown
Robert Espinoza you are one winy little bitch arent ya.
He is right though, no tank would have been armored with 4 feat of spaced armor. It completely changes the experiment.
TAKTİKSEL BİLGİ right on..
TAKTİKSEL BİLGİ depends on the tanks armor not all tanks have ceremic composite armor. some light tanks
have rolled homogeneous armor and steel plates as there main protection. :')
I was messing around on Discord as I watched, and I started playing "(Dont Fear) The Reaper" as he shot the plates, and it honestly fits so well lmao
Also I feel like you shouldn't have used spaced armor :/
He said that he wanted to decrease the chance of ricoshet
That's the sound every gun should make. Perfect.
I am working on a video of a Red Rider BB gun shooting through 1000 evenly spaced sheets of aluminum foil. After that, I plan on a video of shooting through 1000 evenly placed sheets of saran wrap. I am sure these videos will be as useful as this one, if any military vehicle is ever made like this. A 50 BMG and see how many prius's it will go through would be way funnier.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD?!
the anti tank returns :D
Some Random Guy 666 whatareudoing Im fucking here
+Some Random Guy 666 whatareudoing right?!!
Spaced armor works best when the projectile's penetration ability is compromised by the first few plates so that, as in the test here, the ability to penetrate the later plates is degraded. This can be due to projectile damage, as here, spreading the area of impact wider and wider in each successive plate, or by deflecting the projectile on an oblique impact (using non-parallel plates perhaps) so that it hits the later plates at a higher angle, also increasing the hole size (more oval), or, also more effective at an oblique impact, causing the projectile to yaw or tumble due to inadequate spin stabilization, again making a bigger hole in the later plates. If none of that occurs, then parallel-plate spaced armor, as here, is usually significantly inferior to a solid plate of the same total thickness made up of the same steel and hardness hit at the same angle. Even laminated armor, where the thin plates are tightly pressed together by bolts or welding, would be better, though not by as much of an edge. We are talking about steel armor and pointed or oval-nosed AP projectiles that do not suffer complete shatter on an early plate's face (this is an extreme case of the progressive damage case). Against ceramic or multi=material composites (modern tank armor), things get much more complicated.
I always heard that air spaces are game changers. That, a round that might go through 3 inches will be stopped by three 1-inch plates separated by spaces
Don't get why people insert a single round into a magazine to load it when they could just pop it in the chamber. lol
Lol gotta keep that spring worked
GeneralKayoss I guess it just looks more epic
Gee u want that heavy bolt to slam on your fingers
@@mr_n_luvs69nieman82 Well if it doesn't have a bolt catch i understand.
By loading it in to the magazine instead of the chamber, it reduces the velocity of the bolt by virtue of the fact that it has to strip a cartridge out of the magazine. Without that added resistence, the bolt travels faster than intended, which can either damage the bolt, or at worst can make the firing pin jump forward and unintentionally fire the round.
i would like to see how thick metal it could go trough 10mm? 20mm? 30mm? maybe 50?
10 minutes for something that should only take 1.
William Grand don't complain youtube is probably his job so he needs it to be 10 minutes to actually get some money
Are you the one out there shooting the rifle?
William Grand dont watch
well if i was shoting the rifle all the video takes 15 sec
welcome to youtube william grand, enjoy your time here
Those first plates where like “WHAT WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!! I’M NOT READY!!!
wtf is up with wg sponsoring big gun channels?!
well theres no wonder in people switching to wt-its obviously better
I played both and I personally like WoT more, its more of a pure arcade while war thunder kinda like wants to be realistic but does not try enough.
Jadranka Ledinski They needs more players but it also brings us cool videos.
Arosankari What do you mean "does not try enough"? War Thunder tries to make it realistic by going off the tanks real stats. And they make you play smart by learning each tanks weakness to be able to successfully take them out. World of Tanks is honestly too arcade like for me, some tanks reload in 3 secs and their is a stupid health bar. But hey that's my opinion, you do you.
I wonder who they're going to sponsor next, I know they've also sponsored Demo Ranch, they going to sponsor Taofladermaus next?
i prefer WarThunder over world of tanks because WT is way more realistic
vasile sideris true😉
War thunder is more pay to win and completely unbalanced especially with those guided missiles. That's just my opinion tho.
pay to win ??? that is only for premium vehicles and the premiums are not the best in their BR and the missiles aren't guided you have to manually steer them to their target which is a difficult task. also the game is well balanced i dont see why you say it isn't because you wont see a Tu-4 while you are flying in a F4U corsair but yes along time ago the game was unbalanced.
WT is "realistic" game. Thats true. You can be oneshoted by anybody and do the same to the other players, but when you meet a BOT tank, its nearly impossible to kill him because Gayjin said FU. And the game balance? Bitch, please, its even more russian bias than WOT.
I suggest you to
1. Gid
2. Gud
I own now ost vehicles in that game, and russia is just average, the most powerfull techtree is the german one.
I guess you could say those first few plates were...Finnish'd?
Swervin309 really??
Akseli Ruokonen Yes.
?
Huoh
CookieOwl _ lahti 20mm isfinnish so thats why
It's important to have these weapons just in case someone gets attacked by steel plates.
I mean "gotta hit the 10 mins mark!"
Why would someone thumbs down this video, that was awesome!! Love the slo-mo!!
Keep'em coming guys, good job!!
Maybe because it's a 3-minute video at max, not a 10-minute.
@@tropicaldimitri7374 cuz he needs to make money
Milked every cent of what ever that 1 round cost.
Gonpo Yama probably 10 bucks
Can you demo on something that would closely resemble the tank gun barrel to see if it does anything.
Actually, this is how you set steel plates when you want to minimize the penetration of the bullet. The arrangement has been in use with WW II tanks, they had steel plate skirts around the tank, separated from the surface.
Next time, try with a solid block of steel!
I guess that recoil dislocated his shoulder a bit...
Rene M I said the same thing
a bit ?
it's not bad at all the gun is extremely heavy and it's planted into the ground
notice the things upholding the gun? Theres a reason there is a rocking motion in there its to absorb that energy haaha
You should have used the pak 40 vs armor plates
dude....the round will pass through and bury itself 6 feet into the ground. ..not to mention the ammo will cause the sheets to splinter everywere!
RAY RAY I meant that he should set up armor plates with different thicknesses and test the penetration. For example a sloped plate the thickness of the m4 sherman front armor. Etc
+White house gaming That would be epic. It's a shame, no one ever experiments with angled steel plates.. there are loads of videos with steel penetration tests but never at an angle!
He already explained why in the beginning: richochets = very real danger
richochets only happen with sloped and angled surfaces...not with 90 degree placed sheets
Think that was quite possibly one of the best slo-mo projectile clips I’ve ever scene!
Gotta get that 10 minutes for the ad revenue!!!
Next time, send the other ammo type at whatever your shooting as well if possible. Who knows? If the ammo is fresher or has a lighter bullet, it might achieve higher velocities and penetrate better than you would expect. Either way you get crank off another round on camera! Love the slowmo!
ultraboy222 osmium and iridium are the two densest metals... Tungsten has the highest melting point
+ultraboy222 I didn't say it would out perform the tungsten, just that it might do better than he would have expected. Especially if the powder was affected in the aged round he sent. Beside, who doesn't want to see a 20mm traditional bullet blow apart in super slow motion? That's a massive energy dump!
there are ABSOLUTELY 20mm DU rounds. I don't think you can buy them as a civilian, but they sure do exist. Kill bugs real dead. DU munitions are where "gulf war sickness" came from, from people inspecting shot out tanks that are full of DU dust. The advantage of DU and Tungsten is less in density, and more in sheer hardness.
DU has an extra advantage because it's pyrophoric and self sharpening. It will spontaneously combust at firing speeds and as it pierces armor will always break in such a way that the tip is still sharp.
Almost 2 mill subs and just swimming in that TH-cam money yet cant afford a proper mic....
lol Exactly the horrible audio is literally hurting my eardrums xD But tbh the mic quality is total garbage sounds like a mic from 1990 or something
Recorded with a High Definition russet potato
Micheal p is that you?
normally his mic is good. Currently he failed recording with his normal mic. I dont know what happend
he gots to cut down the costs to have more money available cuz fuck if ppl can hear you
Now that was respectable! Definitely a lot of power.
4:12 *to get to it!* that LOOKS like a 50 cal round not a 20mm
why was the bullet so dinky? because its an older tungsten round?
The round is surrounded by a ballistic cap for aerodynamics would be my guess,just like the 30.06 black tip.
Mind if i ask, what music did you used ? please, im really curious, i really love it. btw great video as always ^^

Does this gun come with a Free Shoulder Surgery voucher?
That gun looks like it has alot of mass, and the more mass of an object, the more kinetic energy required to induce motion. Between the size, the gas system, recoil springs and the muzzle break I bet that weapon has less recoil than a standard hunting rifle.
agree...
How could you get the license for the 20mm Rifle?
maxwell zefanya you don't need one. it's a single shot rifle so you have to be 18 to own it. only catch is you can't fire any explosive rounds. that would require licensing.
Oh, thank you. Now i know that lol
Any firearm chambered in a round larger than 50 caliber is considered a destructive device by the batfe and requires a tax stamp to own
He's an arms dealer. So that's how he gets it. He made a video about it. Check it out :)
What`s the name of the vid?
watching this video high had me in a trance i cant lie. That was INSANE...
For the primitive organisms its normal. Don't worry ;)
Ok. Not being a dick. Wouldn't the accuracy of actual armor penetration be better shown with solid pieces of steel? Because the gaps between (I would imagine) would give problems to the ballistics.
That is why spaced armor was made. But, spaced is really better for RPGs.
I agree, test fail
You are right my man
Sadly would only penetrate things with very small armour thickness. Even fighter planes have better penetration like 50 cal
