      @jaydunbar7538 6 лет назад +150

      The movement doesn't tell the full story, energy transfer is only part of the equation. The rifle has massive recoil reduction giving it more of a push then punch.

    • @orangejoe204
      @orangejoe204 6 лет назад +97

      As Jay Dunbar noted, recoil consists of both the force of the rearward motion on the weapon, and how long it takes that force to be fully transmitted to the shooter. More weight = better diffusion of the recoil force, which is why an M1911 in .45ACP is less painful to shoot than a Kel-Tec .380 despite being far more powerful.
      The Denel 20mm has a colossal amount of recoil force, but the muzzle brake mitigates a lot of it, the hydraulic recoil mechanism delays that recoil for a VERRRRY long (relative) period of time, and then whatever's left has to force itself against a rifle that weighs as much as a medium-sized boat anchor. This results in the famous "push" vs. "punch" that allows anti-tank and anti-materiel rifles to be shoulder-fired (rather than tripod mounted, which is the next step up). You get a rather serious "shove" (over a second or so) which pushes your body back many inches, but it's not like getting full-on punched by the rifle in a sixteenth of a second.
      Try that without all the recoil reducing features and you'd shatter your scapula and dislocate your shoulder. Probably something you'd remember unpleasantly.

      It works fine when shooting for the sides, however you ought to avoid the armoured plates and the spine ridge. The 20mm has a tough time penetrating that part of the body even with AP rounds.( However 14.5mm AP works fine) The ventral plate is generally weak enough for HE to pen and destroy the 4th heart.

The hydraulic dampeners, the trigger & safety, the scope, the handle, the disassembly, the action, everything shines with superb engineering forethought.

      I thought it slightly odd that they would be labelled and the the bolt would need swapping (along with the barrel, obviously) between 20mm and 14.5mm, considering that the 20mm case is supposed to be a re-necked 14.5mm. It's a bit weird that the extraction groove was changed (for the 20mm) when the head and rim size are apparently identical for both rounds.

    • @RyTrapp0
      @RyTrapp0 6 лет назад +7

      @@dj1NM3 The 20x82 cartridge being used by Denel is a derivative of 20x82 Mauser, which is based on and a necked up & shortened case successor of 15x96 Mauser, both resulting from the development of the Mauser MG 151 autocannon.
      The 14.5x114 was developed basically at the same time(1938, before entering production in 1941) by the soviets, but to supercede the 12.7x108 in an anti-tank role.
      Dimensionally, the 14.5x114 case is about 2-3mm larger in diameter in multiple points down the length than the Mauser cases and has a 0.45mm thicker rim(which is, again, ~2mm larger in diameter). So, they definitely aren't based on the same case, both being pretty much clean sheet designs at basically the same time, but for different purposes, which resulted in the 14.5mm Soviet anti-tank cartridge featuring a larger case in all dimensions than the 15x96/20x82 Mauser autocannon cartridge. In the former case, velocity & kinetic energy are king, so a smaller diameter shell pushed by an overwhelming amount of propellant, while the 15/20mm Mauser airplane gun has a smaller case and larger shell, because velocity & kinetic energy are of low importance but explosives payload is king.
      Tl;dr - 14.5x114 and 15x96/20x82 are in fact completely different cartridges in both projectile size and case size, which is why they different parts & options are offered.

      @@ToastyMozart A HUD that advanced would certainly change the norms of small arms handling in combat situations. At its most basic fundamental, the end goal is to get a projectile to go from the firearm in your hands and into the target, all else is fluid and able to be adjusted as technology makes achieving the end goal easier, simpler, and more intuitive. What we know as "perfect" shooting habits & techniques today are only "perfect" in this small snapshot of history, until technology changes this and makes hitting a target less and less dependent on human skill. And, frankly, that's the most important area of technological development - minimizing the amount of human involvement needed since we're mistake prone, independent, self aware, somewhat unpredictable creatures. I have a feeling that 'Master Chief' would more likely come to fruition as a semi-autonomous robot(I mean, look how far ahead we're talking about) rather than a specially selected human(that could potentially end up being a total head case...) put in a pseudo-biomech suit of sorts. Talk about making it easier to get a projectile to the target, the most minimal of risk.

      The more I look into it the more I'm willing to defend Halo's futurism, though I think a lot of the high tech elements are a little underwhelming for something that is 500 years in our future though maybe the developers were only doing their best with what they knew 20 years ago when people were talking about the benefits of the "Information Age" best being tapped into at the public library or IRC.
