"Theres nothing more Patton than a Sherman!" Apart from possibly a Patton.

Lol it's the new miracle zero recoil Sherman Canon. 🤣

The breach didn't even recoiled when it fired

Way too much talk. Not enough restoration.

Shoot with a cannon and make believe that the shot is true ... check lol The cannon don't even recoil, it shoots blank

7:47 that gun is aimed way off target, this and the lack of recoil makes it obvious that it's not real... what a great series:)

Mechanic : how fake do you want it to be? Buyer : yeah.

No recoil? Yeah, right...

It’s amazing how many people think these guns are actually firing. And from what it looks like it has a replacement engine in it. Kind of like their electric start Panther that works 100% of the time. While some late war tanks had electric starters they were extremely unreliable.

Bruce Legend in his own Mind!

7:55 did it really explode on shot? Lmao they’re busted oof

Are you kidding me? An operating cannon in private hands? Like everyone notes the shells are 2-3 seconds slow, the shell explosions look like a buried Forcite stick and the 'shell's fuse' is activated by striking thin plywood and cardboard? With that first round (6:47), shouldn't the 'round' have ploughed a furrow maybe deflect and hit the neighbour's pig shed (fresh bacon)? That poor Bren carrier didn't even get a blossomed hole. Still, Bruce should be awarded an Emmy for 'Special Effects'

Glad to see ya back!!!!

We have one at a park. I used to play on it all the time when I was a kid. Its still there

And than a Tiger comes arround the hedge and this charrade is over. Rest in Peace Sherman

Now we're talking! Love this classy 3 piece transmission cover M4A1 75mm Sherman. If we could have enough of these running, could easily redo some of the armor scenes for the classic 1970 film "Patton." This is about my favorite Sherman. In fact, it's the Monogram 1/32 scale Calliope Sherman, but to true scale minus the 150mm rockets launcher. Thanks Bruce!!!! Love your work!!! Love your Panther -- and now, this Sherman. My two favorite tanks from my childhood. Proud to be an American.

Shermans are beautiful.

No one: Bruce Compton on thumbnails: 👁👄👁

Another Brucie bonus great on your mate greatest respect

7:54 Fires then hits the target 3 secs later...ok

I love how youtube thumbnails always have somebody making a stupid face with their mouth wide open. Can't wait until something replaces this terrible app

7:56 *Gun Fires* System: Your Game has Crashed

I hope these old tanks are sent to museums considering how rare they are now..

A Sherman tank ? Power ?? 😂😂 Nice Joke 😂👍🏼 grandpas would laugh too

A story of 2 Shermans. ...... My family had a country house in South Devon, high on a hill overlooking a valley. ...... About a mile and a half away lived a man who looked like an 18th century aristocrat, and had a 3 ton bronze cannon on a huge oak gun carriage. ...... It was raised from HMS Association, which sunk in a gale in 1707 off the Scilly Islands, off West Cornwall. ...... His favourite party trick was to load it with black powder and carpet wadding, and fire it. ...... Every time he did so, the windows at Cleeve would rattle, infuriating my father. ...... He was a WW2 submarine officer on HMS Torbay, in charge of the 4 inch gun used in surface actions, and no longer keen on loud bangs, having been parly deafened by them during the war. Someone offered me 2 Shermans when I was in my late teens. ...... I forget if it was £500 the pair or each, but I dreamed of mounting one each end of the terrace, and firing back! ...... My mother owned the house, and had herself served in WW in FANY, involved in French Section, Special Operations Executive - of which she said precisely nothing - I connected the dots after she died. ...... Although part of the US 29th Division had been camped in the local village in 1944, and had shot small arms on the 1908 Territorial Force rifle range in our meadows, my mother was not impressed by the idea of 2 Shermans parked on her terrace!

Another Sherman! There so many of them I seen one on a used car lot clearance sale!!!

the firing of the Sherman was a load of bollocks that first shot you could clearly see the explosion coming from the back and since when does wood set fire from a tank shell, it spoils programs like this when they bullshit the public, it puts you off the program.

Bruce should chase the 88 mm flak gun barrels that are being used as lamp posts!

I didn't see the barrel recoil at all! And when they fire the rocks a bit . I didn't see that at all . And the bren carrier where the shell hit looked all rusty to me . Hmmm a little Hollywood magic i think !

Sherman : F why is 88mm here Panther next door : idk

My great grandpa was in the 4th armored

Do you have any M48Patton in your garage?, I would love love love love to see it

omg hes like a British Frank Reynolds and now i cant unsee it...

🔥🔥🔥

The "triangle " is the symbol for all American armored divisions.

Doesn't matter what country you from, big guns make men happy lol

Where is the recoil for the barre. You can also see the wiring on the barrel to set off the black powder

No recoil , that means black powder blank , and someone blew a hole in the target with remote explosive . Real Hollywood , I like it .

The main guy reminds me of Bricktop from Snatch! Wonder if he has a pig farm?!

The gun only fired a blank, there would have been recoil from that 75mm gun if it had a live round, not only that but 75mm rounds do not have explosions of that magnitude that was shown

5:54 music called

Lolo @ actually firing the gun.

Excellent video bruce bit pricey Sherman there was 1 forsale in qld $75k

I need a tank

Pls make the Same with the Tiger !!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

No recoil, not firing real shot

To show it's explosive power, fill it with 75 mm HE shells and fire on it with a Tiger so you will see a big explosion.

And suddenly a wild Tiger 131 appeared from the bush

For all the people that moan about this show,what's the alternative? It's a good all round watch if your into WW2 Stuff even with the Drama

Showing sherman original explosive power Tiger: Explosive what??

I can't tell if the title was a joke on how thinly armored that thing was

big like

isn't that supposed to penetrate instead of flameable explosion

Twins vs twins 😅

You allowed to fire a live projectile in the UK that can travel several kilometres?

I like these Programmes but there is not enough of the restoration side to it just too much yapping.

I like this programme but how can a tank cannon fire without a recoil😳😂

EH? Real good running CHURCHILL??? SAY WHAT!!!

Hebben jullie ook dingen van de Nederlands leger WW2

Super.cool.moi.je.trouve.excelent.de.remaite.tout.en.etat.de.marche🇲🇫👍😃

I would love to fire a WW2 tank

Oh please, Bruce crompton TA part time para Saturday and sundays lol.

As a German reading this, I initially thought "oh was it blown up by Tiger 131 due to old habits?"

If the Sherman was in a "kertuffle" with a tiger, it would be burnt out, with its turret laying 50 feet away.

Would be nice to have a show about WW2 but please without clowns the next time would be perfect

_Laughs in Panzer 4_

Yes, its for reality tv, but you also have to know that firing a real AP or even HE, that it really dangerous. Especially with targets that close? HE shrapnel could easily fly back at them before the camera could catch that one of their heads got decapitated. If they fired a real AP, at that angle, that round can ricochet a few miles away into only God knows where. The gun fired blanks which should be good enough for an 80 plus year old machine.

My mamaw Witt,her dad was a general slapped her hand with a stick.Big bold power machine.YES OLD IS GOLD

Tell bruce to get ....

At least it is allowed the gun. Poor Emile in Holland is looking at fitting the turret back on the skid without the main gun. It was fine in the U.K. but Dutch authorities are more hard core and have been sitting on the paperwork for a year. (Built in China, fought in Iraq, war trophy to England, being restored in Holland)

I'm sorry, if they were firing live ammo with a full charge, that gun would be recoiling! I suspect training rounds.

Video over sherman tank Tiger 131: "I'm about to ruin this tanks whole career"

MY LORD.IS THAT LEGAL I WILL MAKE IT LEGAL

So mal bei uns in der Eifel rum Ballern und du bis 100% in den Nachrichten

Is his Jack Russell not around anymore?

weird - the rounds should be non explosive??

blank shoot waw.

Shot fired but hit like 2sec later, very slow shell.

Only a week? Needs more time :/ it’s history take your time

Now make a video actually firing real stuff please, it would be very interesting

Let's restore a Tommy cooker and pretend it was actually a good tank!!

Sweet M4 Sherman, but fake gunfire. Oh well, you can't have it all.

Explosive power 😂lmao! It was a explosion waiting to happen, it was junk!

....you can't have a working tank gun in the UK

Seems fake hey

E WANTS MAE TO RESTORE A REYAL LOWIFE SHERMAN TANK!

200k for a fully working WWII tank? Kinda seems like a scan when the thing still fires actually live ammunition

This series would be a lot better if they really fired the weapons at real ranges and got rid of the Hollywood pyrotechnics

the sherman wasn't that great of a tank but it was the right tank at that time. the germans had a saying "1 german tank was better than 10 shermans but they always show up with 11. "

Poor little Bren gun carrier, wasted for a staged firing.

Really? No cc? Sometimes when he saying something while opening his mouth, the words sounds like its exit from closed lips

it would have been nicer if they actually used live ammo, not just black powder😑

It just fake documentary. Filled the cardboard with explosive or filled the projectile with explosive that explode on hit?

Go watch aus armor museum. if you actually wanna watch people work on tanks.

Why is the Video branded with the word ,,restoration,, when its got nearly nothint to do with it ?
