- U.S. Navy sailors reload 20mm tungsten ammunition(offloading the dummy rounds at left and loading the tungsten ones(red sabots) at right) into the magazine drum of a Phalanx Closed-in Weapons System (Phalanx CIWS) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78).
Phalanx CIWS is a close-in weapon system for defense against incoming threats such as small boats, surface torpedoes, anti-ship missiles and helicopters.
Phalanx CIWS mounts fire at a rate of 3,000 rounds per minute and have the magazine drum capacity of 1,550 rounds. The velocity of the rounds fired is about 3,600 feet per second or 1,100 m/s.

Been having a hard time finding this ammo online.
Bruh you shoulda stocked up when we left all them military supplies for the taliban to resale on amazon
@@a.N..... Yea, I'm regretting that.
สวัดดีคับ
Good!
@@a.N..... welp, this type of ammo is only used by USN, I doubt they leave warships there
From this video I learn that human hates war, but loves explosion.
FUN FACT: CIWS fires each one of its rounds using a firing pin that has +200 vdc applied to ensure primer detonation.
Short circuit the primer i like it
Finally found a good video of them reloading one of these turrets
I really love the quality of your videos
มีอะไรให้ช่วยคับ
That’s awesome 🤩
For something that expends ammo very quickly, I assumed it can be reloaded efficiently and quickly, dayum, that must be a nightmare to reload in combat when you exhaust other means of defending against missiles.
We need ah electric motor and a button for dude manually twisting in the back
Cool
Those guys look like they’re having so much fun I wish I was them
How cool would it be to work as one of those guys, operating a ciws?
Welcome to military service!
i think the ciws operate themselves mainly alone...try even selecting a high velocity anti ship missle (russian 'zirkon' or 'shipwreck') at high magnification with joystick or ball courser as target, pointing weapon to thread, then engaging... would take 2 long...prefer man in the loop method...just push button to make r2d2 go brrrt 🤗🤠
and then the math
reloading - 4 mins
dumping the ammo - waaay to fast 😂
its not like you would be trusted or physically capable, after all, you're sexually attracted to animals.
@@Valskyr no idea what makes you think that, but it would still be cool to at least see a CIWS in person.
@@Pancake_lover_niko your pfp and name, stupid
Surely there's a better way to load the gun than having to refill the drum in slow motion, pausing every 100 rounds to add in the next ammo can of shells, first? Maybe a really big ammo can with another nearby that can be swapped out quickly?
Can’t wait to work on these
Gots to b a faster, better way to load without being exposed?!
That's what I was thinking.
Did they just bolt it on aftermarket, instead of incorporating into the ship with its own ammo depot underneath?
@@AnnoyingNewsletters That seems like a good idea but I don't think it would work out in the long term. Say they come up with a new type of CIWS and it requires larger space more space. That won't work. At the same time, the ship has to allocate a special area to store the ammo for each CIWS. That means all future gen ship has to account for this space.

Come on 👊
So red discarding sabot tip indicates a tungsten core. Blue is used for training rounds. What does black indicate?
This is incorrect. CIWS uses depleted uranium rounds, not tungsten.

Nice,Nice.Very Good 👋

Congratulations 👋 LIKE 👍
So how are the batched connected?
What is Private Pyle doing on there
Royal Navy?
They need to have a black box automatic load just like a rifle magazine
Are they changing the rounds in there or why are the ones coming out look like they can still be fired?
Those are dummy rounds, check the description. Although, I'm curious about why they need dummy round. Maybe the internal mechanism needs to have something inside it all the time? Who knows...
@@SergioScotta dummy rounds are required for normal maintenance and also provides the proper balance of the ammo drum vs the search and track radar’s weight.
@@MarkSWest thank you
@@MarkSWest makes sense wit it being on a boat and the sea pitching back and forth
They're the dummy rounds meant for counterweight of the drum vs the radome (at least that's what the FCs told me). The FCs hated the changeover from "Metal Dummy Rounds" to "Plastic", as they have to load more of the plastic to properly counterbalance the system. But during the changeover, many FCs kept the metal Dummies as souvenirs...they ARE kinda cool to look on for display, when given a mirror finish.
Hi, does anyone know the detailed dimensions of the Phalanx CIWS including the ammo drum?
Yes, but if I told you, I would have to "kill" you!! haha! Love that old line!!
Beautiful love you
Thought that was cillian murphy
1:47 how and why do there change colour
The red things seem to be some sort of protection or maybe an indication of live rounds idk
offloading dummy ammunition at left and loading tungsten rounds(red sabots) at right (20 mm tungsten, Mark 244 MOD 0 rounds)
@@Military_Archive I wondered what was being offloaded....thanks.
why so much tungsten??7 O_O
Wow
:O
So if the gun delinks and ejects the shells as they are fired, then does the gun get out of balance when the weight of the ammunition is gone? Must be fun to reload the gun in less than ideal weather conditions!

Ok
The tip goes in throbbing red, comes out white as snow. Reminds me of something else 😂

How are you, " Moskwa" ? 🥴
Как крейсер Москву?)
Sheesh. Tens of Millions of dollars wasted switching from Depleted Uranium to Tungsten. Not to mention inferior ballistics. Once the Green idiocy ends, please go back to the original DU ammo.
Почему без головных уборов? Бардак! Не моряки, а ремонтники в автосервисе!
We need a lion like President Trump back in command. FJB !!!
