yes, im not the only one that feel it xd

I always imagined a midget was in the gun pocket kicking out the brass, but no, just dumb gunners mates sitting there touching each other. Lol, FireControlmen jokes

Yeah

National Socialist why

@National Socialist So dumping some shells in the ocean is a no go but sinking ships and planes is just fine?

Lol so True

so true

Now imagine the guns on battleships :^) It'll leave a stain in your pants for sure.

Wtf so true

its odd , i never drop cutlery during the day time .

my god that would be glorious. Load the airburst rounds and destroy the sails and slaughter the poor crew. Imagine a submarine though! They would believe the kraken is out to get them

Or imagine the USS Missouri or the Bismarck in those times, sure the modern navy today has a lot of powerful weapons but nothing beats the those old 18 inch naval artillery guns

@@rebelpebbles5026 16 and 15 inch respectively, actually - the only 18" guns ever put to see that I can recall were old monitors (basically the smallest possible hull with the biggest possible gun, used for coastal defense against actual battleships), HMS Furious (a Courageous-class battlecruiser, which was armed with 2 18" guns instead of the class' normal 15" guns), and the Yamato-class battleships Yamato and Musashi (which were technically armed with 18.1" guns). USS Missouri, as an Iowa-class battleship, is armed with 9 16"/50 Mark 7 guns (the /50 indicates that the barrel is 50 times 16" long. It's what's known as "caliber" in naval parlance. That works for any naval gun, actually - multiply the number behind the / by the bore diameter to figure out how many [insert bore diameter unit here]s the barrel is long), which are not 18" in bore diameter. The Bismarck-class battleships, Bismarck herself included, were armed with 8 38cm/52 guns, which, again, were not 18" in bore diameter.

Then look at the mk 100 fully auto 5 inch

Ethan Cavanagh ... I believe you mean the Mark 110 gun, and that’s actually 57 millimeters, or 2.24 inches, in bore diameter. It is full auto though.

just a gyro input my friend

>inb4 Germany using 3-axis stabilized turrets for their small caliber secondary guns in the late 30's

Gyro stabilization was common on American warships beginning around 1939-40. British ships were well advance along that road as well. Don't know about other nations though!

Albert it's the fire control system and gun stabilizers, just like on the MBTs nowadays that can fire in the move.

Rudhran Nair I was very, very confused by that for a second. "How can Main Ballast Tanks on a submarine shoot while moving?" Then I realized that kind of tanks you were talking about.

+deven thompson water is the most efficient mechanism for fast cooling hot temps. Those barrels get so hot so fast, without the water jacket... they would warp very quickly. Thanks for the comment.

+Gung Ho Vids Cool video mate, tell me do you know how they got about compensating for the roll of the ship? Is it on massive gyroscopes or does the targeting system just do it digitally?

l. kerr I don't know exactly how the do it but the fire control is slaved to special radars. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTO_Melara_76_mm

Gung Ho Vids Ah right thanks mate

Hi Gung Ho, which Navy and which gun uses that water cooling system? I don't recognize it. Thanks!

I ow exactly what you mean! When I seen several of those shell casings go overboard right into the drink, I cringed. Damn, cant recover those for reloading!

I feel like we have the technology to have the casing fall into a box or something lmao

i do love to see those shells

Me too kid

I think it was drum loaded.

@@easthulk99 fire at will

easthulk99 kid did you just say drum loaded lmfao i hope your not in the navy

Ikr

Back then they would actually have people who would yeet the shells out.

You actually did lay a brown baby? Ughh.

Some of you might be army, but like let's get one thing straight a Navy is always first on the scene,,, so before you all start fist pumping like little grunts,,,, remember the marines are apart of the Navy

Yeah I would love to see that in 4k quality

Me too, the Iowa battleship or Montana class. In my opinion those fromm 2ww were better than this new generation of BS. Talking about design and the main turrets (Iowa turret with 3 canons on it) its just incredible!!

Jesus. That would break the windows of all the houses on my street,

@@tonnymartinez1703 when was montana a thing?

@@tonnymartinez1703 Battleships didn't do much in ww2 so what are they gonna do in era of missiles and jets

Plus its alot of brass or whatever is used to make that can be saved and recycled for more shells.

Nah, we just threw the casings overboard once the firing was over. They aren’t saved.

@@fongkei523 yes

@@fongkei523 the One at the best end Is OTO

Theyre not firing at anything

I’ve yet to see any videos like this where we are shown that they are actually hitting a target.

Firing at a vessel owned by another countries navy would be an act of war

@@DrLoverLover But when they do, that someone would definitely not have a very good day at all.

Cicak Kobeng They aren’t firing at any target yes, but a lot of the time some patrol boats or any who perhaps encounter any of the following do combat small pirate boats, I.E somali pirates in a makeshift boat with machine guns and a crappy motor. Not with those guns though lol, that’s just a waate

xDDD

I wanna see how many small pistol shells fit inside one of those shells

@@thatoneguy7451 me too :D

suhan BlueSkyGaming probably hundreds

@@Estrect yeah...i mean it gotta weigh over 50kg to 100kg for those shell...just curious xD

Nice

fuck yeah!

Probably one of the most american sights ive seen

The gun is actually designed and produced in Italy.

*Blows a raspberry* I'll take my Mk75 over that slow rate of fire and slow turning pos any day of the week.

American Cruisers has two of them

Oh... wait. Does it extend out to seal the breach? and that water going on there? Unusual indeed ( 0_0)

Maybe recoil compensation

Russian thingy

@@suhanesetne985 It's an Italian 76mm naval rapid fire cannon, produced by Oto Melara... They sell these all over the world, dozens of countries bought them.

AnDrEx02 ScouT I thought it was russian cannon thnx for the info

In the Navy, the ammos are called shells

Oh ok im dont know about this

Yeah, there should be some catch of catch mechanism. Waste of metal and money when it could be refitted.

+MarcellusTheGreen I believe when the breech opens, the pressure difference causes any remaining fumes to expel from the barrel which help keep the turret air fresh in a way. Kind of similar to bore evacuators on tanks. Don't take me on that though since this is a conclusion I came to from couple different things.

+Neurofied Yamato no, I believe it's a puff of air they blow into the barrel before the breach is opened to clear any debris. The Mark 7 16 inch guns had a system that blew a big puff of Nitrogen into the barrel before the breach was opened, to clear any remaining burning debris from the silk powder bags

Kurtis Kaskowski That's pretty similar to what I said except the method used, it still is expelling gas+debris. The only difference is that I used a bore evacuators as the basis on how it works. So the exact method is probably wrong but it's purpose is the same. BTW, this gun doesn't use silk bags, so it's probably just to blow out any residue from the propellant which there shouldn't be much with modern explosives. I still do think it's the toxic fumes that it is expelling.

Ya so weird

@@neurofiedyamato8763 There is a puff of air injected into the barrel after the shot automatically. gunnersmate chief phillips usn1961-1981

No and I dont know why they did that. Maybe because they didn't want them to bounce off the ship. I'm not a genius.

@@its_just_jon Reduces the bounce from the shell casing so they go overboard less, yes. In wartime, you don't care if the casings go in the water.

Hell no. We do that because the casings fall with enough force to damage the non-skid. We don’t like repainting the deck.

Daniel Ebling I was wondering that myself

Yes

Yes

No thats a barrel cleaning fluid sprayed down the barrel every shot.

@@ravenwing199 no they're water cooled

🇬🇧🤝 🇺🇸

Amazing

@@komocho7195 I'm not siding with either of you but it does happen at 1:10

No storage space on board, no recycling/reloading program ashore wants them or exists, and no GM will want them in the magazine taking up space/creating clutter they have to work around. it's also against regulations for us to put the spent casings back in the magazine. The bos'uns on the other hand... may ask us to keep some nice ones (not to dinged up) to make quarterdeck stuff.

Someday railguns will make this unnecessary

spikedpsycho honestly, the biggest advancement would be to not carry all the powder needed for conventional guns. If railguns eliminate that, that would be huge.

Yeap, loved that, and Chief was always paranoid about it. Oh look the cutouts are f'd up... well there went the CIWS and stacks..thats got to suck..or the firing pin broke, or the recoil system f'd up... it's going to shoot... not for long, but it will shoot.
