People thinking it could still shoot should be introduced to videos and photos of blown barrels from attempting just such a thing- not to mention even if the round comes out due to no explosive trigger, you are pretty much ensured to be pre-breaking your round along with horrible accuracy, kinda like shooting through spaced armor which is right at the end of the barrel... good luck with that.
Not to mention the fact that if 1 A10 round hits the barrel its very likely that a few dozen if not hundreds (depending on burst length) will be hitting as well, given that the A10 has a rate of fire of a round 3900 rounds per minute meaning 65 shots every second.
@@Slavkovic_Predrag imagine if we had a skilled expert who could model a theoretical projectile being shot through a damaged barrel, as a demonstration why it is never done.
There would be a lot of shrapnel inside as you can see. Also if spot that's hit is closer to gun breech there is a good chance damaged barrel like this would explode from massive pressure that it experiences.
@@meanteen You should really do more research before writing comments..... They have them at the end of the barrel where pressure is the lowest. If they had them anywhere else barrel would rupture. Also there is shrapnel inside definitely not something you would want in your high velocity gun.
That 165mm cannon is fine helps reduce recoil and slightly reduces velocity of rounds depending on where it hit the reductions are 5%~20% with little damage to sabot rounds... The other 145mm one wasn't as all the heated gass will vent out the side which causes a lot of problems including reducing accuracy as well as 35~50% of the Velocity as the sabo gets ripped apart and causes the round to wobble and can cause HE type ammunition to detonate and reduce 10~30% the recoil
Would be cool to then see a few different rounds attempt to pass through the damaged barrel

nothing unfixable in 30 seconds 😎

What about 50 cal can that penetrate the barrel?
I think thickness at near the breech is much thicker than at near the muzzle
APSFDS could probably pass through that, but it will be very inaccurate.
HE and HEAT and ATGMs would probably explode in the barrel
Apfsds would make a much larger hole and you definitely wouldn't be able to shot it.
@@Slavkovic_Predrag No, commenter means if the tank shot APSFDS after this, the shell would be very inaccurate.
@@squidwardfromua Pressures when fiering apfsds are much higher than any other projectile type so i doubt barrel would survive that.
The barrel is dishes in slightly at the hole. The sabot would hit that and probably burst the gun.

I need to see it from more angles.
would it really disable the gun? i think that could shoot even with the hole trough the barrel

Try to pee with a q-tip in your urethra. That’s a similar experience.
The deformation of the tube liner would seriously damage the projective and likely cause the barrel to burst.
@@Slavkovic_Predrag nope 50.cal (12.5mm) has ports in the barrel and some guns have muzzle brakes to also reduce the recoil

Still doesn't justify the A10 as far smaller autocannon rounds would also disable the barrel.
Will it still penetrate the barrel if it hit in the top quarter where it's quite sloped?
It’s a cylinder
It’s equally sloped

So it would be best to saw the 145mm barrel or return to assembly point to get a new one depending on where it hit... And continue fighting with 165mm
Oh damn
Instant muzzle brake!! Just kidding.
