"the 50mm shell is twice the diameter of the 25mm Bushmaster shell" Really thanks for the math lesson😅😅

The programmable air burst rounds are what this gun system is all about. Dug in infantry can be engaged with direct fire, that explodes overhead, with an effect similar to mortar and artillery shells. Good results on aircraft can also be had with this ammunition.

What makes it the most powerdul? The fact that it is the only 50mm chaingun in existence. There ya go.

See what a two Bradley's did to a T90M peppering it non stop for 1-min.....and that's only 25mm...

The smaller / older brother, the 25mm Bushmaster, on the Bradley, has shown that with a few shots and tiny bit of luck, it can get between the hull & the turret of a Russian main battle tank and take it out, and we've seen that not once but at least 3 times. Now give us a version which is not much bigger, not much heavier, not much more expensive, has roughly the same rate of fire, but double the calibre ~ that's got to be a lethal and desirable weapon. Given this is not armament for an MBT, but armament for an armoured personnel transport, (like a Bradley) and we're looking to a real advantage / over-reach here.

A fegula gun is not driven by the heat of the cired round. A regular gun is driven by the recoil generated by the detonation of the round.

THE ww2 British 2 pounder and the pak36 were both anti-tank guns. This thing can take out a target that required an 76mm AT .. impressive

This is the Northrop vid with a voice over. 😅

A military equipment video made by people who don't know what they are talking about and for people who don't know enough about the subject to figure it out.

So this is going on the XM-30? Cool.

Can I please have one for Christmas ?🥺🙏🏽

Army’s new XM-50 The service has taken delivery of four XM913 50mm chain guns developed by Northrop Grumman, Janes reports, with plans to acquire seven more systems ahead of an “imminent” order of 10 additional cannons for “qualification, testing, and integration activities” in 2021.

now they have to come up what new design of IFV suited for that. Bradley... nah, unless you slim down everything that gets in the turret's way, upgrade suspension with better track , and probably new atgm.

Really just a commercial. Love the weapon though.

The question is, can the 50mm penetrate the armor of vehicles that the cannons from the 25/30.35/40mm can not. If the 50mm is not able to penetrate the armor of MBT while something smaller than the 50mm can penetrate anything short of a MBT, then I have to wonder at the added utility of the 50mm (other than bragging rights to say that my gun is bigger than your gun). The definite negative of the 50mm is that the volume of the 50mm round is in the neighborhood of 4 times that of 25mm and the volume that can be allocated for ammunition is always limited. The result is that the individual rounds might have a much bigger impact than smaller rounds, but if you can only carry a quarter as many rounds, does the 50mm still represent a step up in combat effectiveness. The recent video of two Bradleys hammering a T-90 in Stepove illustrates my point. The front armor of the T-90 had nothing to fear from the 25mm of the Bradley. But the 25mm didn't need to penetrate the armor of the T-90 in order to completely obliterate the combat effectiveness of the T-90. All modern tanks have a much higher combat effectiveness because of their advanced sensors, cameras and computer system. But all of the key bits are the cameras and sensors, and they are all on the on on the *_outside_* of the armor. So while the 25mm rounds from the Bradley had zero chance of killing the crew, detonating the ammunition in the turret or disabling the engine, they were more than enough to obliterate all of the cameras and sensors on the outside of the armor . And with many more rounds and a high rate of fire, the Bradley chain gun was able to put so many rounds on the front of the T-90 that other than the direct viewing periscopes, I doubt the crew was able to see *_anything_*

This thing could be a real threat even for MBT´s

3:44 "We fire the whole bullet, that's 65% more bullet per bullet."

“Only a tad larger”...I’ve told women that I’m only a tad smaller than most men...Did you know laughter can cause seizures?

lol @3.21 chain gizzer

This is what should have been used for the m10 booker tank instead of the 105 mm canon.

Be a good weapon of choice for the drone tanks they’re developing.

Grande poder de destruicao😮❤🇧🇷

I KEEP ONE IN MY BASEMENT 😂😂😂

When you double the size you quadruple the punch!

Wish to learn, wich one more powerful between this one; and Russian 2S38 !

"What Makes the XM913 the World's Most Powerful Chain-gun?" The fact that chain guns are a comparative niche?

Awesome I love it, watching this on full beans hitting a target must be scary good!! I just wonder how big could they actually go before it just won't work, I don't mean practically I just mean as an exercise in what's capable? What does the IOWA Battleship have now, 16inch, imagine they took one barrel and made into this type of gun, everything built massively, I don't think it's possible to fire such a massive round like a high burst, 100 rounds a minute, it would probably blow up or the massively heavy machinery would just smash together at high speeds, but what about 100ml or 200ml rounds? I think they could, like I said it would not be practical, too heavy for most vehicles, so it would have to be fixed, fixed where? Maybe a base to defend or a building, but then 200ml rounds being fired at 200 per minute, that's the definition of over kill, so it would not be practical at all, I'm surprised the Russians haven't built one then, they like to do that, they think we couldn't build over kill weapons but we can its just that we understand practicality and a need for a weapon, they do it because they think its getting one over on the west... Russian mentality!!!

Full auto at 200 RPM? How many seconds until the barrel melts?

Available at eBay?

as long as theres no pistol brace we can own one right....

Next step, a 120mm autocannon 😄

imagine a tank with chaingun turret in ww2

Who would think a 2" gun would overtake the modern battlefield?

Why are there tarps all over the vehicle? Because the ejection system is weak, and casings get caught in the turret traverse.

Can a Bradley get a turret swap???

Your "facts" are mixed up

I don't know what is the worse; the execrable muzak, or the banal script!

The one drawback in such upsizing is the accompanying reduction in number of shells that may be carried.

I don't see how you need much "audacity" or "engineering prowess" to develop a 50 mm chain gun nowadays. Medium size caliber guns like that have been existing since before WW2 and that particular caliber just has been out of fashion for a while. The Germans during WW2 used 50 mm guns, both as their primary anti tank weapon on the "Panzer 3" in the early days of the war and later as a aircraft weapon. There also is the Swedish Bofors 57 mm naval gun which has been in use since the early 70s and also was tested as a Infantry FIghting Vehicle weapon on several test vehicles. Also, there are socalled "Revolver Guns" since the 80s, mostly designed and built by the German Rheinmetal and Mauser companies, which also don't use the exhaust impulse of the firing round to load the next round, but also use electrical mechanisms to load the rounds into a rotating revolver drum and kind of being a half way in between thing between a regular gun and a multi-barrel Gatling style gun. They are basically like Gatling guns, but only using one barrel while loading that one barrel like you would load the multiple barrels of a Gatling gun. That totally eliminates the need for a bolt and allows for variable and very high rates of fire, while being lighter, less complicated and more precise than actual multi-barreled Gatling guns. Two other advantages of that system are that much like old revolver handguns, you can fire cartridges of differing lengths from them. They just have to be shorter than the length of the revolver barrel and because you don't need a bolt, you can leave the back of the firing chamber open and thus make a "no recoil" gun out of it by firing small rockets from it instead of regular ammunition. My point being, compared to that a chain gun is a rather simple and unsophisticated piece of technology nowadays. I'm also surprised that there is no data link ring at the end of the barrel, like on the 30 mm and 35 mm Rheinmetall gun barrels used on the PUMA IFV or the MANTIS/Skyranger air defense systems to program air burst ammunition with. Since this gun uses air burst ammunition, I assume the round is told when to burst before being fired by a data link system inside or near the firing chamber instead, but that has a disadvantage compared to the "muzzle data link" system on the Rheinmetall guns. Those first measure how fast the round leaving the muzzle actually is before calculating where it needs to burst and then programming it. A system that programs the round before it is fired can't account for slight variations in the propellant load, atmospheric factors or other factors that influence how fast the round will really move once it is fired. As anyone who ever used a velocity measuring device while firing a gun (or watched Gun KZfaqrs do it) knows, even the best, most expensive ammunition has pretty significant variations in muzzle velocity. Only by actually measuring it at the muzzle and then calculating and programming the air burst distance, you can ensure that the projectile actually bursts where you want it to.

57mm? No, we don't know.

Oh boy,...🤣🤣🤣 Well, mine is still bigger......Kinzhal 57-mm remote-controlled weapon station

god that was a smarmy and snotty presentation

The presentation on this is like it's voiced by a professional, written by a nerd, and that nerd is 11 years old.

Nothing but PR drival..........

Strange narrative

Great idea to have the narrator drowned out by crappy music. Makes you miss half the nonsense

$$$$...LOL...

Wow the quality of aspects of the videos now posted to all of the dark channels went from a solid 7.5-8 / 10 and only had the odd incorrect fact and the video clips were of the subject matter... Now any old military clip will suffice, facts and correct info are becoming rarities ratht than the rule.

Send them to Ukraine!

Oi, somma loud beautiful dakka! But izza thin and weakly init too, no good for clubba on dem humies inna pinch. Long thing break on humie head, not humie head break on thing.

The ammo for this is way under powered. Instead compared to the 57 mm Soviet anti air craft round that's a proven design. The Russians are making a custom turret with this gun. With a 7km range and sensors fuzed rounds.

AI chatbot GPT-4 garbage.

Why the need for the blasting music?
