I dont get it..

I would’ve put “Big Bertha Shell” next to a German soldier called “Big Berty Schnell”

Thanks! Yeah rendering took a long time, so I had to be somewhat selective with the ammunition that I Included. I'll have to make a part 2 sometime with the ones I missed. :)

@@hugostiglitz4777 you sure? Because ball and flake powders are used in most small arm ammunition, and only the British and their colonies or ex colonies regularly used it before the Cold War.

YES

@@operatorchakkoty4257 .....I don't think you understand how most large cannon shells work there bud.....there is no ejected shell... there is the shell which is the explosive and those white bags/tubes are the propellant which force the entire shell out the barrel the largest ejected shells I know of are small howitzers maby u could use as a solo foot bath..but anything larger does not have ejected brass you can recover.

Not if you going to sink a freaking battleship or lay siege to a city. Hence all other bigger shells.

@@SlavicSpring I dont understand why you would ever need a specifically ARTILLERY round that big, though. Just use bombs from planes (if possible) or a bunch of smaller rounds. I promise you dont need those last few on the list just to lay seige or damage a city, anything bigger than the 16 inch battleship round is just too much, not really efficient for use as a land-based artillery round

@@Salamandra40k you are just ignorant and you don't know how effective it's to have artillery that big since the battle ships could have AA or Sams which won't allow the bomber to get close that's why they use that big a$$ artillery

@@KFLY007 You don't have to call me ignorant lol, think about it logically. I'm not talking about laying seige to a ship, I'm talking about laying seige to a land target, which is what these artillery pieces were designed to do. A city or fort may certainly have AA capability, but this was World War 2, not Vietnam. AA didn't have night vision, trackning radar, or computer aiming. All you had was some guys on a gun with a manual turn wheel and some vague callouts over radio. Bombers and fighter-bombers could easily approach, manuever, and drop munitions on cities or forts without TOO much trouble, as long as they had protection themselves in the form of tight formations and fighter escorts. The only reason I brought up battleship guns was because battleships off the coast can lay seige to land targets just like artillery pieces can (and in fact, that's what battleships are designed to do). Idk where you got the idea I was talking about shooting battleships with artillery, but that's not at all what I meant. Try to read a little better before insulting people and replying next time. Edit; Also, imagine why giant artillery pieces like this were almost always only ever built and used in extremely small numbers. Take the Karl-Gerat, for instance. 6 Total were made, and even though they were technically used throughout most of the war, they only saw specific and very limited use against certain targets. Now take the much smaller standard 105mm Howitzer. Used throughout WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, and even sees limited use into today. It's smaller, easier to transport, easier to fire, easier to produce and maintain, and is still known for packing a powerful punch. There's a reason all militaries widely used multiple, smaller artillery pieces as compared to a few, giant ones.

@@Salamandra40k The Schwerer Gustav was made when the Germans were trying to take over Brittain.You know why they had to make that artillery?Because they failed to have supremacy over air control om Brittain.Hence they made the weapon........Even thoigh it was a desperate decision.

Well the 800mm Schwerer Gustav shell weighs about 7 tons lol

Imagine trying to find "your number" on the huge side of that last bullet!! 🤣🤣🤣

That shell is APFSDS, basically a giant metal rod, meant for anti armor

Its a name so write it in german.

Great Mistakes right?

What did 122mm do to you that you neglect it? A bit more practical, yet stands right on the edge of heavy artillery.

@@worldoftancraft isnt it too modern? like infantry doesnt operate direct shooting artillery nowadays. I just think on the modern battlefield the 105 is substituted by either smaller mortars(82mm) or ATGMs

@@worldoftancraft its too big for infantry use without any aid. the 105 is more versatile

Guys be here talking about how bad it is to have a nazi weapon existing while countries still making weapons of mass destruction casually for some reason.

The distinction was also needed to be made so that soldiers weren't putting 76mm shells into a 75mm gun barrel. Since the shells were so similar in diameter.

Imagine being near that thing each time it was shot. Fuck that

Guy, every man from a military remembers his regiment's and military speciality index. So this isn't surprising.

@@worldoftancraft thats an incredibly random fact.. thanks? Not really what I was talking about but i appreciate fun facts! My memory is terrible if i remember what i had for breakfast im surprised.

If i remember, one of thr US battleships served in Desert Storm. Those 16" rounds do can cover 20 miles. The battleship was providing offshore artillery fire and one round hit an Iraqi army command post. Nothing left but a crater 20 feet deep. MI h. Heaper to fire than cruise missiles but a cruise missile can travel several hundred miles instead of just 20 and hit with high precision so one missile hit can destroy what 50 16" gun rounds cant.

You have to realize that the 16in gun will carry more potential energy than a bunch of Lil rounds. For instance and I'm going to Put this into layman's terms. Let's say you are able to launch a 10lb bowling ball at 500fps or 10lbs worth of copper bb's at 500fps all at the same time and use the same point of aim. Which would do more damage? Let's just say the target is a car. Which would carry more potential energy? You have to realize that the solid object will carry more potential energy than thousands of Lil objects.. Right? Because regardless of how many there are, each bb is only carrying a very small amount of potential energy. See the solid object has weight behind all focused into one spot. The bb's will not carry all their energy forward they will be allowed to move freely. I'm probably doing a horrible job of explaining this. But I think it kind of brings things into perspective at least.

@@richardbadish6990 I certainly can't remember my college physics much as that was some 40 years ago, but I think yiu are comparing a pukes and oranges. A 10 pound bowling ball at 500 fishing will certainly pack more energy than 20 pounds of BBs at the same velocity. First, the BBs are not one solid object and will spread out to thousands of BBs each losing energy rapidly. So using thr sane velocity will of course give thr massive advantage to thr bowling ball. However, increase thr velocity of thr BBs sufficiently and it can equal or exceed thr energy if thr bowling ball. Astronomers trying to envision a space craft traveling at hyper velocities have to be aware that even a small fragment if space debris impacting at every high speeds can ause a huge amount of damage. A grain of sand traveling near the speed of light has enough energy to pulverize a space station. So your position is true if both objects of different mass travels at thr same speed. But increase the speed and the energy of thr less massive object can increase to equal or surpass the more massive object.

@@richardbadish6990 let's say you fired 20k 50 cals do you know how hot that target will be after your dont shooting it? Probably melting or damn well near it as well

@@morerightrudder9742 It is not correct, as some guns shown are mounted on ships or were used or aircraft

@@mr.megalodonmegalodon758 yep but they were used in aid of warfare on land, so they do in fact count and are correct.

@@mr.megalodonmegalodon758 there are different classifications and different militaries evaluate things differently.

Not used in combat, bomb test gun.

The Little David shell is much shorter than the Schwerer Gustav and its weight is more than three times lighter.

Probably for the sake of safety. Storing the shell (projectile, propellant powder and brass case together) is not a good idea on a ship - as one hit would ignite the whole store and rip the ship apart. That's why propellants and projectiles are stored apart and away from each other - deep within a ship with extensive protection - against such a hit. This is probably why the charge is shown separate, alongside the projectile. 👍

The Schwerer Gustav's shell is the largest artillery munition. Sure Little David had a larger bore diameter, but the shell itself is about 3-5 times lighter (1656kg vs 4800kg (HE) or 7100kg (AP))
