Here's hoping that some kind soul will let Ian shoot a restored railway gun.
@@SonsOfLorgar Too much steels used yet expensive and needs many operators just to fire that.
With metals that structured "leopond Railway gun", we can used to make 5 or more heavy tanks instead.
But I can keep dreaming for that, right ?
@@SonsOfLorgar we're helping home values out in that neighborhood anyway?
Looking forward to the 300 part series where he disassembles it.
@@p47plane I can see him turning it into a super collab with every major gun and military history youtuber helping him take it a part.
Even 2B1 will fit nicely.
"What did you do today?"
"Not much, just went to the range and did a little shooting."
Little big* shooting
@@michaelscalese3142 Shhhhh, Don't want "them" to know.
@@jimvandemoter6961 I gotchu
Charles Yuditsky Pun?
*little*
Doctor: What could be the cause of your shoulder pain?
Ian: Are you serious? Yes? Well, I suppose I can give up stock-equipped guns for a few weeks.
Jacob Clark shooting mounted artillery came about as a result of too much felt recoil. However i've no problem shooting my 20mm recoiless gun.
Yes
WHAT?
Sniper Larkin
Finland: Even our guns have skis.
Carrying that one on back/shoulder(s) thru deep snow would be pain ;)
Lol
I haven’t laughed this hard at a comment in long long time
I can imagine how they would use it
@@cyklonegoo114 ride the gun down a hill to retreat
7:55
Spray bottle: "Remember me my brothers!!!"
'nnoooooooooooooooooo~'
Casualty of war
We need a good soundtrack to it's fall,
WITNESS ME
That's exactly what I noticed as well, lol
When your smallest gun is a 20mm, you know you're in for a tough day.
To be fair that thing was pretty compact for its shels
3:31 Not for Ian ;)
haha sherman go PATONK
""Hi I'm Dangerous Bob, wanna fire some cannons?" "Why do they call you that?" "That's not important..."
I wonder if Dangerous Bob is any relation to Dangerous Dave Cumberland, a well remembered shooter, collector, and dealer of firearms large and small. This was Dave's meat. I shot a Lahti and a Solothurn a few decades back... earbustin', spine curdling experience. Wish i had one now.
@@beshkodiak Only handled but never fired those two legends
Bob is the guy you call to build , repair , and test devices of high collateral potential . If it will make you into a vapor cloud , call Bob . He's known as a master of the destructive device world . So calling him dangerous is not that far of a stretch .
The South African 20mm you handled that like a straight Gangsta
Haha, you know it's the big guns when you start with a 20mm.
strilight Or just read the title and see word cannon.
Inkunzi Paw??!?
What the hell...who makes them at what price?
Tell me just for teh fun of it.
@Doc Skate just click the link in the description :)
And end with maybe with a 204mm
@@docskate4312 it's a direct fire grenade launcher from South Africa, probably can't get one.
I can only imagine the frogs living in that pond like "it's alright I guess, no birds or anything, but occasionally some of us just go into the goddamn shadow realm"
@dig duck BO3 PTSD intensifies
"So Greg, how's your wife?"
"Greg?"
I would say the PaK 40 was still the most impressive of them all.
the shell is almost 200mm longer than the sherman 76mm
the Germans had such impressive gear
@@6string327 Indeed they did...which is why I am a proud owner of casings/projectiles from a few of their famed guns, such as their 8.8cm's and 12.8cm. I wish I could find a PaK 40 round, but those are hard to come across for me.
I wonder did they use full charge at all :)
@Saturn which one?
Your knowledge of Big Guns has increased to 100.
They arent so big tho
*filthy frank*
That went 0 to 100 real f*cking quick!
Wait until you fire a 17-pdr.
pak40: man pushes button, dust clouds appear
And alarms go off, and humans exhult
And now the enemy knows the position of your AT gun.
Don't forget the fabulous hair flipping.
@@MrDgwphotos Too bad they can't do anything about it from over 2 miles away. lol
I dont think its meant for Arizona
That pak 40 is awesome
If you saw what the restorers of that piece had to work with at the beginning, you'd be even more impressed.
It was a wreck.
@@jballew2239 if I remember correctly it was pink and was being used as a flower bed.
@@billythekid4793 I believe that is the story Ian told it was turned into an anti war statement piece the lady sold it on condition that it wouldn't be restored to working order the buyer then resold it to someone else that immediately did just that
@@nathanringerwole9549 True Love conquers All. Amen. FIRE!!!!
@@nathanringerwole9549 I would have sent her a picture of the restored piece firing, with a nice fireball and a middle finger. Because I'm an asshole. XD
"Oh you know, it's just got a gentle kick..."
*one dislocated shoulder later*
Ugh imagine a 40mm rifle
"goodbye arm"
3:45 If they had high speed cameras back then they would be able to figure out why the mechanism gets full of dirt and grass when you fire.
heh yupimmediately thought "how convenient, automatically shovels dirt into the action"
Unplanned rapid obsolescence
I'm pretty sure there were, they were just super rare because it's expensive to get the shutter moving fast enough, and also really expensive to get enough film for it to be practical
At the Krupp Mountain gun I thought they were going to shoot at the cactus
Can't destroy a Saguaro cactus, they're protected.
Those things take 100 years to grow up
Yeah, that would kind of be a bad reflection on the community.
In Arizona its illegal to shoot, ram or destroy cacti.
Especially the saguaro cacti, which is a revered symbol of the Southwest.
The protection of the saguaro is taken very seriously.
Find a nice pine tree that takes 10 years to get big and blast that instead. Those damn cactus take way too bloody long to get big.
8:30 inside the Sherman tank was a lot less noisy than I'd expect.
All the death and noise goes out the front ;) would probably be even quieter if the hatches were closed.
Most of the sound signature comes out at the muzzle (that's why supressors are mounted there on guns,after all). Muzzle's out, you're in, you're isolated from that sound from a pretty thick and solid wall of metal. Not surprising it isn't that noisy inside ;).
To add to what the others said, I'm also pretty sure the ammo that place uses is really underpowered as well. That gun's muzzle blast should be similar to the gun fired just before it but it appears to be no where near as hot, plus I think the Sherman's gun should've ejected the case and locked open if it were loaded hot enough.
hornmonk3zit they disabled the auto ejector on the Sherman as with the auto ejectors on all the other field guns, the reason being the extractor will remove the round with enough force to possibly damage the casing which doesn’t matter to a military but to a private owner of a gun that’s 70+ years old it’s not that easy to acquire brass, you need all the brass you can get
It’s not as cool to have to manually eject the shell casings but it’ll keep them in good condition for longer
Guy: did you close the breach all the way? - let me double check your work
Gun Jesus: laughs in perfection
Fire in the hole!!!
Hes clearly not an Apostel of Gun Jesus.
If its his gun, it is his responsibility to check anything he has doubts about.
Besh Kodiak I bet you’re fun at parties 🙄
T. Wallace believe me, you've no idea how fun i can be😜but I've been shooting artillery as a hobby for 30+ years and i have seen some rough mishaps through not enough attention to details on the range.
@@beshkodiak better safe than sorry
6:55 that first shot from the PAK 40 sounded nasty.
Ian, while I know you are putting a lifetime of work and effort into this amazing content, you have the coolest job ever!
All the best to you and yours!
I saw this an hour ago, i guess i'll watch again.
“You see that house private?”
“Yer sir”
“I don’t wanna”
*creds to whoever came up with this*
That 50mm feels powerful, just imagine the 152mm on a kv2 firing.
Didn't know the PAK 40 came with a passive smoke screen...
I never realized Karl was in a forgotten weapons episode.
On today's episode of Forgotton Forgotton Weapons Presenters....
He's in quite a few, like this one: ruclips.net/video/U5gE_bUZtfE/видео.html
Ahh the memories! That Pak40 still my favourite!
0:26 look at that recoil tech the gun takes the impact in such a cool way
these guns are like that half-scale .22 rimfire browning machine gun from the other day except it's ian that got shrunk
Omg I love those things
Ian, i loved this especially the PAK keep the great content coming
My late father (God rest his Soul) was an artillery man, and loved to see them big guns in action. Thanks
Its amazing how powerful some of the larger cannons seem. In movies and video games its hard to appreciate just how ridiculous the explosion is.
Am I the only one reminded of Megatron every time I see a Solothurn? I mean, if there was a "Transformers Through Time" universe, he would definitely be a Solothurn.
P.S. Awesome video! Glad to see Bob was there. :)
The fact that rock island is transformersposting makes me very happy
7:22 Dual purpose. Makes a hole and in the same time a smoke screen.
"They can't see us if we can't see us"
It is impressive how aircrafts can carry these big cannons and can still fire them at a super fast rate without even causing much force to the plane itself, to the point that it completely throws off the plane's accuracy.
The a-10 gau 8 cannon:hello there
Now imagine that a battleship used to carry 406mm guns shooting a hatchback-weight shell at the speed of sound.
#3 ... If you hear Ian laughing like "Hurrhurrhurr...", you KNOW it's gonna be good. XD
Rats! I should have tried harder to convince my dad to spend the $49 for a Solothurn from Hunter's Lodge when I asked for it for Christmas back in 1962,
"Dear Santa. I´ve been a very good boy this year...."
@@Taistelukalkkuna I know. I should have kept chewing on the old man's leg until he coughed up the forty-nine bucks!
RIP Dad.
@@johnanon6938 Actually, you're right. My dad was pro guns and my mom hated them, so getting any kind of gun before I moved out at 19 was always a battle. Once I moved out, that changed real fast!
Sar Jim unIntended consequences? Lol
How much is 49 dollars in 1962 money?
You should have titled this “Biggest Iron compilation”
"That pesky Lizard, Is gonna have a really bad day....."
Ian you must be in my head as I've been thinking my next purchase needs to be something a little bigger caliber. Now I have a ready made shopping list! Thanks. Bravo
Not gonna lie the portable 20mm has a disturbing amount of moving pinch points.
Me: "I want to see a big thangs go boom!"
Gun Jesus: "I am the way"
..and the light!
Except the light is sometimes a muzzle flash.
Sweet gun Jesus! I would not want to be on the receiving end of any of these! Awesome vid/s as always, thanks Ian!
One of the best of your RUclips vids ever. Thanks, that was great and a good chuckle..
Pak 40, field gun and smoke screen device
Calling a 76mm gun a “Big Gun” like it’s the Nineteen Thirties
How often do you shoot a .50 BMG on the range? That’s a big bullet. Now imagine that, but 50 times the size.
It’s big.
Calling an 800mm gun a "Big Gun" like it's Twenty Twenty. Though probably more like the Nineteen Forties.
@@CatAdvantage A 25-inch gun. That's 635 millimeters. Not too shy from the massive Schwerer Gustav. The biggest naval gun we've built is an 18.1-inch (460mm) triple. Then again, a single 635mm would probably be beaten by the 460mm triple.
Mosaic Slime and you’re calling a “gun” a big gun like it’s 2059. Were I come from “guns” aren’t used anymore
@@notlistening6499 Maybe not HUGE guns like the Schwerer Gustav or a capital ship's artillery turret, but I'm sure the main battle tanks in whatever country you live in have some nice cannons.
Unless you're in a country whose military practically doesn't exist. Then you probably just have salvaged Bob Semple "tanks" or something.
Fantastic video, Ian, thank you. I would love an explanation as to how such cannons (not the shoulder mounted types, of course) are aimed and regulated for range. Please and Thank you!
My favorite part about the first PaK 40 clip has the be the "vyooom" from what I assume to be the shell ricocheting off the ground. Nutworthy
3:30 maniacal giggling.
The only kind of giggling to be found when you're toting something with that much kick. :-)
There isnt nearly enough hearing protection in any of these shots. Hello tinnitus.
Hah?
What?
wonderful footage!!!
Thanks guys that was a blast.
Forget the holiday yule log. This is on loop in my house.
You know it's a big rifle when it has its own skis mounted to it :)
That is so cool that there are people crazy enough to collect and show off these weapons. More power to them.
That bolt release on the Inkunzi Paw is bloody beautiful
When I start my "Institute of Weapons Design", Ian is going to be the dean.
You should've started with a 2mm Kolibri :)
It would be a very long video lol
Good Lord !!! I get goose bumps all over. This is awesome !!!
Awesome stuff!!!
All those rounds and the hill remains in one piece... Damn Nature you scary
Starting off with shoulder firing a 20mm. As one does.
Thank you , Ian .
just yesterday i watched the pak40 video from you :D
awesome!
Well I was going to wake my wife up with sex, but I think I'll just watch this instead.
What's the difference?
David Raful do both. She will never know you cheated on her that way.
@@john-paulsilke893 😆
3:10 when your gun has skis, buckle up!
The Lahti L39 was one of a few Anti Tank Weapons that Finnland during the Winterwar had. The first Sowjets Tanks where not good Protected against Anti Tanks Weapons. So the T-27, T-29 where Targets that the L39 could Engage,- It was also very effective against Bunker and also against Planes.
Happy Holidays Forgotten Weapons !
Just made a list for Xmas. Thx Ian.
Idc what people say, “oh that’s bad or too violent” artillery and shit will never not be cool
now I need to know more about Dangerous Bob
ii enjoy how different location from where you are provide different sound from the same gun
Truly excellent dude.
🎵She's got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang, bang shoot 'em like a firing squad🎵
Okay, young'ins, name that band
A quick re-upload to fill in a missing No. 9 link in the description?
Awesome video!!! Would be really cool to see the effect on the targets
That mad laugh @3:30...I am very impressed that you actually seem to enjoy that horse kick. I am kind of a sissy regarding recoil. I did shoot a couple of larger hunting calibers like 9.3x62, but I just can't get myself to enjoy it.
7:53 someone forgot their spray bottle
Can someone explain in a simple fashion why the us had trouble with their 90mm, I heard the shots basically phased out of existence at long range, i understand the lack of high velocity gun on Sherman's and the hell cat having special ammo making it a bit more reasonable for Anti tank duty but what was the hold up with the 90mm if the Germans and even Russians could put Bigg pp guns on their tanks why did the Americans struggle with their measly 90mm.
Meep Meep basically cause the 76 mm cannons did the job well enough,it wasn’t necessary,but if you want a 90 mm American tank look at the Pershing or even bigger,t28
Some Sherman’s also had 105 mm so....yeah
Russian 122mm APHE is superior
I see
@@cra2690 Sherman 105 was a howitzer not a gun. Big diff, low velocity.
Americans fielded the 90mm initially on the M36 Jackson upgraded Tank Destroyer which was very successful against German tanks.
This is my Christmas wishlist
Wow!!! Christmas came early this year. Made my morning just seeing the ear to ear grins worn by all.
Thanks Sir, once again I get to experience things I'd never otherwise get to enjoy, vicariously through you. Maybe someday Santa will stuff my stocking with a 40mm Borfors...🙏🤪
"Aren't you leaf after all that shooting ?
- What ?
- I said : aren't you leaf after all that shooting ?
- What ??
- Ok...
- ... What ??"
Kind of seems like the 1812 Overture should be playing in the background. Either that or AC/DC's 'Big Gun'.
HALO 2304 I agree or else AC /DCs fire your guns
Love the inkuzi PAW video, such an odd looking weapon!!
Really cool. Maybe you can go back and break this up into a series of videos where you give us some information/ background on each and then show it being fired.
The need to make destructive devices less restricted no one is gonna buy one of those gigantic 20mm guns and use it for criminal purposes.
There is literally one case and they tried using it to shoot their way into a bank vault
The Pak40 was the number one German Tank killer of WW2
GLORIOUS
Fantastic! Thanks very much for sharing. Greets, T.
Why am i here at 1 am watching jesus firing an anti-tank rifle
This video should be on p*rnhub.
Great content as always
Did you say this video contains lots of *Penetrations* !
@@SonsOfLorgar So.. This video categorized as Hardcore genre ? Well i see.. There's to much "huge penetration" in one video.
Simply.... AWESOME!!!
My wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year. I showed her this video. The silence was as deafening as the blast from the 76.😁
If she's smart, you'll get a Tamiya model kit for Christmas. (Then you can "Sid" it to pieces with an M80.)
5:15, no hearing protection?
WHAT ???
@@rotwang2000 lol
finally a good ASMR video
Love it! Just one thing, DIG THEM TRAILS IN!!!!
I tried to watch this earlier but it was private,...glad it's back
That Hellcat had a breech failure and killed the owner.
F
Said Hellcat is not in this video. But yes, a couple of people were killed by a breech failure in a Hellcat in 2015.
I hate this video, it ended!
its funny to see some of all these old clips again.
You get to have fun with some big boom booms. Have fun responsibly. I giggled so much watching this.
