War Thunder is the most comprehensive vehicle combat game out there, including 2500 tanks, planes, helicopters, and ships, from 10 major nations spanning the ‘20s to modern day, with a worldwide community of over 70M players competing in epic PvP battles!
Today, we’re going to take a massive Lego tank, and mount some interesting and unconventional weapons on it! We’ll start at level 1 with an elastic band shooter that will throw some small metal discs. At level 2, we’ll make a playing card shooter that throws them like little frisbees at speed. And we’ll see what some metal cards can do too. Then we’ll experiment with a tesla coil to turn our tank into a 'lightning tank'. Finally, we’ll see what happens when we mount our massive Lego coil gun onto this monstrous tank!
Let’s see what mischief we can manage…

I need some Lego motors but the are damn expensive lol
Is it your first sponsership ?
I have War Thunder on mobile
Level 5: recreating the F22 complete with missiles in LEGO
Haha someday ...

@@JamiesBrickJamshuh intresting
“Some people were concerned that the coilgun wasn’t the my safest creation, but at least I don’t need to be anywhere near it when the trigger is being pulled” *immediately holds hand with target in front of it*
Safety second 😅🫣
As a warthunder player with ~700 hours, I can say that ur tank misses an very important feature called depression. Ur tank is so tall and the gun cant aim down would have got this thing be very ineffective in hilly locations. Its much like russian tank that have like half of the depression of american tanks. But overall very vool desing.
That's very true, I definitely could have done a better job of giving the tilt a better range of motion! I'd like to work on a much more compact design with a better integrated coilgun and reloading mechanism. If I do, I'll certainly work on a better aiming mechanism too 😉
Standard Soviet gun depression
I have an abundance of depression, yet I'm still not happy with my tank. 😅
@NeonNijahn which one do you use mostly?
And you need both. I have depression, and no tank, and it is equally ineffective!
Make a crossbow attachment! Like a Joerg Sprave magazine-fed one
That's an awesome idea! I'll definitely look into a repeating arrow shooter. Love the slingshot channel 😁
Dude actually dedicates some of his time just to heart or reply to most comments, i really respect that.
Aw thanks 😁 I do love all the comments folks take the effort to leave, so it always feels worth it!
Now to mount a go pro and add remote video view for the tank
That's actually a great idea
Okay this is crazy. So the warthunder ad inside the video, yeah just before that I had a youtube warthunder ad. I skipped it and when this one came, i thought it bugged out for a second. The timing was perfect.
Haha awesome 😎
At 6:58 it looks like the cards got your finger 💀
I did get a minor boo boo while playing with those metal dudes 😅
His woah sounds like woof 😂
Fun fact, if you take one of those "beefy capacitors" from an outdoor unit of an a/c system and dip it in flux, then you got yourself a flux capacitor and all you need is a Delorean to start time traveling
Will a Lego Delorean work?
Do u have mindstorms? Maybe program it to do autonomous driving and shooting at selected targets
I do! Unfortunately they've discontinued the 51515 set. But it's still supported for now, and I'm sure autonomous driving is easy. Automatic target finding is another beast though...
already got the game but im all for supporting the snail
I'd love to see an upgrade for the coil gun
I've got some much beefier capacitors that should help 😉 I'm not sure how much further I can push it on camera, but I'll see what is allowed for a potential future upgrade!
So satisfied when watching
Next make a lego thermonuclear bomb
Ok this will be a EPIC video!
Awesome video dude! Love them.
Thanks a lot man 😁
@@JamiesBrickJams Your very welcome!
This are so cool video’s keep it up
Appreciate it!
9:09 Final Destination
😂
Nice to see a new video!
Thanks 😁 It's been tough to find time recently, but I'm glad to finally be back a bit more!
Put goggly eyes on all those tanks
Love it 😁 I actually have hundreds of googly eyes leftover after tagging everything I could find at my partner's place! 👀
If your gona be making a v2 of this tank i recommend giving it more "depression" as in making it anle to aim more downward also what about adding a camera or laser dot on it?
I just because of you ordered lego technic 😂❤
👊 Ayyyyyy hope you build some cool stuff
9:50 keep them as a permament decoration :D
Haha I actually forgot about them until you just reminded me 😂
now use your spinning wheel to fire metal rods actually use 2 wheels that pinch the rod and have them at slight angles to each other so they impart some spin to the rod to stabilize it. You should be able to hit 300+ fps with ease even using lego provided motors and wheels etc. And that is with your large rods/cut nails
Woah that's a crazy speed if possible. Now you've got me wondering how much energy you could transfer using a mechanism like that. Maybe using some metal Lego axles as projectiles. Thanks for the suggestion!
Rubber band machine gun? Keep up the great work. Love the vids
Pretty much 😁 And very easy to replicate at home with pretty basic parts
if this isnt like a T35 with all the turrets im gonna be angy
THE BAND AND METAL DISK THING IS A KATYUSHA
Mould king… Boowomp
Jamie and I cant explain to you how much I crave your videos
That's really high praise, I really appreciate that 🙏😄
Tanking out yay!
😁
You’re right on your way to building a functional mini-Metal Gear!😁
Or Shagohod if you prefer
That crane set is massive
Yeah it's a truly ridiculous set!
Amazing project DUDE. I really respect it.
Thanks a lot man 😄🙏
What about... Hmm, have you ever tried making an actual crossbow out of lego? That works like a crossbow in real life? Or replicates one.. I would absolutely LOVE to see you do that! Keep up the good work, Jamie, please! You are awesome!
Thanks a lot! I've made a few things like that in the past.. might make a video at some point if I can think of a way of making it interesting 😁
Mooom, the engineers are yearning for weapons development again!!
Haha always happy to oblige 😁
What brand of non-Lego electronics do you use? I'm seeing you controlling far more than 2 motors with one remote, and I think it would really help with the Lego Battlebot I want to build, which'll need 4-5 motors depending on what sort of compressor setup I go with
I'm pretty sure those are Mould King motors, since I have one of their sets and the motors look like that. The battery box, controller, and motors can all be bought separately online. The tank body he uses is from Mould King set No. 17015. All motors work fine but the servo motors can only go center, full right, and full left, nothing in between. Hope this helps with the battle bot!
Mould King also has their own pneumatic compressors and cylinders, however they often have issues with glue so you may be better of with Lego pneumatics.
@@CarsonZ-iy5er Thanks, but I was gonna go with Green Gecko Workshop pneumatics
@@CarsonZ-iy5er Great! I can use a Mould King remote and battery pack with Green Gecko Workshop motors!
I feared for the poor plant every shot.
Me too sometimes.. It's a survivor!
In order.
To get all those vehicles you need to pay like one hundred dollars a month
sounds fun!
Where do you get all these gears and technic parts from?
Mostly from years of irresponsible spending on way too many Lego Technic sets...
Great video!
Cheers!
Você é muito legal ❤❤❤❤😊😮
who hurt you so bad that you design deadly lego weapons
I'm scared to see what you could do if you had metal as a building utensil instead of LEGO
I wish Lego made more metal parts! Fortunately there are a few 3rd party folks who make Lego-compatible parts that are super handy
@@JamiesBrickJams if you made like an actual tank or something that you could ride in I would be fearing for my life because this stuff that you've built is scaring me already and it's just Lego you should try building a Lego tank There you can actually ride in that would actually be kind of funny I would enjoy watching that
Haha that'd be pretty nuts. I'm sure some crazy folks out there could design a tank made of real Lego that you could ride in. Perhaps some day with enough money and time .... 😉
@@JamiesBrickJams maybe war thunder will fund that video
Bro build Landkreuzer P100 Ratte in real life
awesome creation! though might i suggest mixing the audio a little better in future videos, the motor sounds were pretty overpowering on my speakers and i couldn't hear your bassier voice. that aside though awesome video
Thanks a lot for the audio advice - that's super helpful! I've been trying to mix audio better, testing on both headphones and speakers, but clearly the leveling still isn't optimal. Will experiment some more - appreciate it 🙏
sick
6:53 is your finger ok?
Haha may have nicked it while testing the metal cards 😅
Nice Video !!!
Thanks a lot 😄
I would like seeing you build a 2.0 version of the compressed air generator using an i4 or an i6 or a v8 using green gecko's modified parts.🥺
That's awesome to hear - that's absolutely been a vision of mine! His pneumatic engines are phenomenal (I actually have a couple), and his latest ones should output some serious wattage. With some metal axles, I'd imagine it could be very impressive
@@JamiesBrickJamsyes, I mean it is not like your vacuum one is bad but a v8 is going to output a LOT of power (and consume like a turbofan airplane engine) but I can imagine that it would be enough to power a electric weapon or system or whatever you want, with your imagination you can find a lot of uses for this, but it is still all up to you.😉
Yeah with pistons, metal axles, good air pressure, and a reasonable generator design, it might be possible to output 50+ watts. And you can do a lot with that!
I wanna see you make a flywheel gun with buggy motors and buwizz
A flywheel gun would be a lot of fun! Would love to try something that can shoot traditional nerf rounds
@@JamiesBrickJams Ive tried myself but easiest thing to lauch is lego axles
Ah that's a great idea! Were you able to get much distance out of them?
@@JamiesBrickJams I got about 20 feet with 2 buggy motors I just never got the loading mechanism right.
11:41 The Mythbusters actually tried to do something similar with a stun gun in this episode: th-cam.com/video/OJ1SJnkkJhs/w-d-xo.html
Unfortunately, they couldn't really get it to work
Woah I can't believe I didn't know this episode existed - thanks for linking! I'm glad I didn't invest too much time on it just yet.. Though I'm still cautiously optimistic with the ridiculously high voltages of a tesla coil 😄🤞
@@JamiesBrickJams I mean, it'd definitely be pretty neat if you could get something working! I guess the biggest question is if the tesla coil would be able to supply enough current to produce a noticeable shock given the added resistance provided by the saltwater channel
I'm pretty sure the current is already negligible and wouldn't provide any shock at all. Most low powered tesla coils (if they're designed well) shouldn't shock you much. But in therapy, it should remain visible along the length of the water! And there are likely some cool ways to demonstrate it 😄
@@JamiesBrickJams Ah, fair point. That'd definitely look cool!
Like it
He’s baaaaaaaack 🎉
Howdy 😄 Life got in the way for a while, but hope to be able to make more whacky stuff for a while now!
if you want to weaponize your tesla coil id recommend checking out allen pan. not long ago he uploaded a vid called: 5 ways to Shoot Electricity real Far its basically trying the same thinbg you mentioned and more.
Ooh thanks for the recommendation - I like Allan Pan! Didn't know he had a video out on that - will definitely give that a watch
War thunder be carrying jamies' channel 😭😭
Less than an hour?
Bro I love your vids, as I say that a class xerion *my fav tractor
Appreciate it! And couldn't agree more - I actually think it's my favourite technic set of all time - the mechanisms are beautiful 😍
what is it with you and shooting bananas
bros preparing for world war 3
👀
Hmm nice
Cheers 😁
I wasted my life with games i should have with this
yesterday I was checking the channel cause i thought its time he will probably oupload in a few days (i was right)
Haha good timing 😁 And I'm flattered you remembered my channel!
Can you do a Lamborghini
how does bro build these stuff i cant even build a plane
I plane sounds harder than the stuff I make!
PLEASE, dont use china motors
Did you change Lego in your name to brick? Why
I did yes - apparently Lego is quite protective of their name, so I had to change my name in case any issues arose
I made a rubber band gun but once you press the trigger you empty the “magazine” in less than a second
That's awesome, so it's a full auto!
Heyyyyy
Chom why are you using fake l Motors (chom is the sfrikaans south african way of saying Bro because I am from RSA🇿🇦
Ayyyy me too 👊 Yeah most of my gear is Lego, but I've a few bits and bobs lying around (including these parts from an off brand set) that I use occasionally. I feel less guilty destroying these parts in experiments 😅
world of tanks is much better game xD
but nice video mate
I'm 15 comment
:D
*you are now jealous*
Bro knew
Yeah...
Yeah...
Hi Jamie
Shoutout pls
1st + 1st to see the video

Your commentary is annoying
Bro fell off
