Great explanation video,I have found buckets of 20mm Oreliken and Vulcan cannon rounds,MK23's,etc.on the desert little unnerving when your digging and clank then pull up a yellow tip unspent (HEI). DOD didn't do s very good job of cleaning up.
Your a brave man, I was on a Vulcan for 12 years and never knew the fuse was screwed together, don’t know about bliss but I know where we dumped 100 rnd linked HEI ammo in Yakima Firing Center, it’s probably still there 30+ years later.
make you realise how much force is exerted onto the round as it rifled/spun ey, what i find crazy is there is enough friction between that ball and its seat in order to spin it quick enough to bend that circlip and allow it to balance central, i wouldnt mind betting the gunners/loaders flicked those circlips off and armed them before it went into the chamber
Omg bro I need to know what kind the ones displayed in the video are!!!! I have a bunch of projectiles I found on an old range and HAVE to know where they came from! I’ve been researching for days, they mostly match Vulcan rounds but are from the 1940s
You need some lo-res 20mm projectiles in that collection. They are low air resistance ones with a boat tail. I have a 3 foot by 3 foot 40mm training board on my wall that has every kind of cur away 40mm round. I was very lucky to find it, glad I bought it. The 40mm nose fuse is way more complex but you can see the cutaway tracer and how it will burn then self destruct the shell. Thanks...cool video.
There is a YT video of an animation of the process described. It’s insane that so much technology is behind this. Thank you for your effort and time. Why doesn’t the Primer explode due to shock when it is fired in the barrel itself ?
ey dude how to pull a bullet feom a 20mm i uhh gotta remove the powder and ill use the shell to make a beer opener pls help me out i dont know how ro do it
@@stuartstratton1096 sure if it can be hit with a 20mm HE it will do damage. But these fuzes have to actually contact and there was always a problem with a fuze that was too sensitive and one that was not sensitive enough depending the target. It's more of a gun sighting system and operator problem with small AA guns like 14.5, 20, 23mm. The ammo and guns are more than capable of downing many types of drones but if the sights missing and it's wiggling around in the bed of a pickup it's just playing the Jihadi Lottery as it's known. It's hard to hit any small flying object unless its radar and computer controled. They still use these very rounds to shoot mortars out of the sky with the Vulcan in a land version of the Navy's CIWS. Proximity fuze would be the way to go, it's just not been worth it in the past for such small anti aircraft artillery machine guns.
I know you explained it well but I not understand still it's confusing I am type of person who learns at slower pace but once I'm shown something and I grasp it I usually perfect my learning to a higher level etc

That is a disturbingly elegant solution to the problem of keeping them safe while unfired.
Incredibly simple and genius solution.
Another mystery solved thank you much

Lots of munitions in the desert around here also, got a video of an AP 37mm I found this summer and a 75mm HE a few years ago

Always wondered what was going on inside the shells
Thankyou.
Great explanation. I've been wondering how these work for a while.
Thank you for your explanation.
Cool nieces to know haw it works

Awesome technology
Did you just make a portmanteau of centrifugal and centripetal force?

Can you make a video about it?

Hello I have found a large fuse and I wondered if I could sent you a photo of it somehow. I'd like to know if it's safe or still active. Thank you
Pics?
are they good against drones?

Buy a tripod
Learn how a inertia fuse works….
What's that got to do with what he said?
