      And still alive :) In North Norway at Bø in Nordland it was 3 Adolf Gunners at a big fort.Now the fort are a museum but the Guns are not there.The fort name is : Bateri Dietl.This fort is wery big,to protect the city of Narvik.The 3 guns there was not jused in ww2 in action,only test shots.Strange or no? ...If you are near Bodø in holidays,go little north to Steigen,Engeløya.There this place are.The Canon in this video are in South of Norway in Kristiansand.

    • @MaxCroat
      @MaxCroat 9 месяцев назад +1

      Two battleships of the "H39" design were laid down, but work was soon halted because they weren't far along and materials were needed elsewhere. These battleships were essentially like enlarged Bismarck-class and would have 8 16 inch guns. Several of the guns were built for these two particular battleships and these are the guns which were repurposed for coastal artillery, as we see in the video. I'm not trying to disagree with you, just adding a bit more context, as I believe it is noteworthy to add this information, since there were only ever two battleships of the entire so-called H-series ever laid down, with the other bigger designs never being laid down. Although, if I remember correctly, not even all 16 of these guns needed for the two battleships were produced because the construction of the ships was suspended and then cancelled before all the guns were built.

And some of these guns were completed, but the ships themselves were scrapped, so these guns were used in coastal defense.

      To think these where on WW2 war ships, may be even more insane though. And these guns had 5-10 floors with people and walkways and railways and bunkers, to actually run them. On a ship it's not difficult, it's what they are designed for. On land, well. No wonder the mountains and hills are hollowed out all along the coast from Norway to France.

    What I love on old tech, is that in case of war, it is still being used.
    In WW1, weapons from 1870s were being used. In WW2 many pieces from WW1 were used. Same in Vietnam, wars in orient or so. In Ukraine, they used old T-34s. In Africa, they rebuilt T-34s to carry howitzers.
    Mosin-Nagants and Ppsh are used worldwide, as ammo is abundant and these weapons will always shoot.
    Or American classics, like 1911 or M2.
    Imagine it, in year 2021, we are still killing each other with 100 or more years old weapons.
    There is artifical inteligence, precise sattelites or god-damn drones, but we still use weapons made in ages of steam and horses.
    And I bet if there will be some major war and weapons will be scarce, pieces from museum will still see some good use.

    I want one of these in my garden so I can protect myself against evil deer eating my strawberry plants. It could also make my neighbour think twice before he cut the hedge down to one meter in length and preventing sales people from entering my yard. It might even reach Stockholm from here, I really want one of these its simply a wounderful thing to have.

    I would have love to see a old gun like this fire again ... but at the same time, i know you would have to start up a factory to cast a new pipe to start with.
    I wonder how these old pipes age? With that massive pipe could it be prone to bend a little by just sitting there for years and therefore not be able to fire safely?

    • @theblackbear211
      @theblackbear211 3 года назад +5

      Well, the US Navy was firing 16" Naval Guns very similar to this one into the 1990's - so I don't really think that "Barrel Droop" is an issue -
      remember, these these are not simple pipes, but are engineered to remain precisely accurate while withstanding the massive firing pressures required
      to propel the projectiles.

    • @IsopropylRecordings
      @IsopropylRecordings 3 года назад +1

      @@theblackbear211 oh ok. Maybe modern pipes could last longer? Or there was a big storage of pipes left overs and they just stored and reused old stock?
      Well im no master in knowledge about it, just hobby interest in the facinating boats of WWII.
      But to my understanding, in WWII the ship pipes would need to be change freq. because everytime they fired, massive amount of metall and excessive amount of heat would make the pipe flex (Japan and USA fired big heave ass shells) , so accurancy was always a issue. Meaning, in my humble understanding, that there had to be a steady supply of pipes produced as you could only fire a gun ex amount time before i new pipe had to be fitted? (sorry if im not making sence, at work and english second language) 😊

    • @theblackbear211
      @theblackbear211 3 года назад +2

      @@IsopropylRecordings You are correct about the gun barrels wearing with use.
      Each time a shell is fired it did wear the barrel.
      So yes, spare barrels were manufactured for these guns - and Naval shipyards had the capability of relining and reboring the old barrels back to specifications - so they could then be re-used.
      But, I am unaware of any tendency for an unused gun barrel to develop alignment problems.
      I do know that one of the key issues that the US was running into in operating these weapons was that all the powder charges dated from before 1950... so there was a question mark as to how long this powder would remain reliable.
