Actually us Brits still used rifled barrels on the challenger and all countries have rifled barrels on their artillery cannons(which is the modern version of the field gun) otherwise the shell won’t spin and will be inaccurate, hence why we have rifled barrels on our tanks, we an accurately hit targets up to about 5km shown by the challenger mk.1 world record tank kill, whereas the smooth bore Abrams has a higher velocity round, which means it also has more penetration(which doesn’t matter as the challengers round can penetrate most modern armour but also mainly employs HESH) but is drastically less accurately, only being able to hit a tank sized target from about 3km away and the shell will not hit the tank where the gunner was aiming, it will be slightly inaccurate
@@trahira9585 You're welcome dude. My favourite is the range target camera and hearing the canon balls impacting as well as the report of the guns, just like the infantry would have experienced. It reminds one of just how brutal warfare was back then.
@@HighAway gunpowder only.. Just produce sound,flame and another stuff that can relate.. Maybe cause a 'litte' recoil but the cannon itself to big and heavy so the power off the recoil cant be seen..

Sorry... wrong! Breech Loading (BL) guns (ie loaded with a bag charge) always need sponging between shots because of the risk of burning embers being left in the breech igniting the new charge. The chamber needs to be swabbed with a wet sponge and the face of the breech wiped with a wet cloth. Muzzle loading guns should be swabbed for the same reasons. Only modern BL guns using combustable case charges have stopped sponging in some cases.
@@tatumergo3931 Amen to that... If you are ever in UK, a visit to Fort Nelson above Portsmouth is worth the effort. They fire the cannon every month in the summer, either these 32pounders, the 13" Mortars or the Armstrong gun up on the parapet in a Haxo casemate. The fort also houses the UK artillery museum. I have visited several times!

Me quede esperando el momento de....BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!! y nunca pero nunca sucedió!!
Awesome, loved it
smooth bore yes reminded me of
Renassaince:smoorthbore
Industrial rev.:Rifled

@@TheBuccaneerIsHot yeah i know that
Rifled barrel improves accuracy
As per se basic understanding
But yknow Not all bullet types fit on rifled bores
They should have had a 1 minute soak time after the first tube failure...!
just sayin... !
Exactly what I was thinking
Why do they drop their suspenders?
What vintage is this gun?
About 1880s
They were firing blanks. They should have put a cannon ball in there.
It seems every cannon video I find, nobody puts a real round in. Lame af
@@trahira9585 this civil war cannon firing use full military load and an actual cannon ball in it

@@localbod Awesome thank you it’s good to see them being fired as they should be. The 2nd 3rd and 5th links are my favorites

Amidst a battle_
Enemy: the brits r loading their gun, lets take a lunch break.
not a very efficient procedure. why do they keep taking of the block and tackle on each adjustment.?
Too much unnecessary movement of gun crew.
They'll never hit a moving target with that carry on...
It is fired along a wide ditch fireing shrapnel based shot to kill an invading army
Which model?
so to know that cannons do recoil. but all i wanna see it recoil.
No projectile,no recoil..
but wait, didnt they put something in there? shouldnt that physic tell you something?
@@HighAway gunpowder only.. Just produce sound,flame and another stuff that can relate.. Maybe cause a 'litte' recoil but the cannon itself to big and heavy so the power off the recoil cant be seen..
After firing, the cannon will move back to the original position like in the start of the vid
Goddamn that would be satisfying

A German crew would have fired five rounds by now and be having goose stepping practice.
what year is the gun?
The actual date on it is 1883
It says what model it is in the title 🙂
i rather see them fire a live round in to the water see them try to hit a target
Breach loading gun's don't need soaking with the mop. Muzzle loading gun's do because of the fuse.

Its to extinguish any remaining embers or burning powder before re charging.
Sloppy drill.
