Who would win: a highly advanced peice of armored equipment with speeds reaching faster than top human speed, with a ballistic cannon attached to it, or a bunch of medieval humans with makeshift armor and pikes. :/
Here to fix some mistakes here in the video, the Abrams has 3 machine guns and can even have a total of 4 but usually has 3. 1 remote operated 50 caliber machine gun, and 2 M240 machine guns. One manually operated by the loader, and one coaxially mounted next to the main gun for the gunner. The Abrams also carries more than enough machine gun ammo to annihilate a roman legion. If the crew uses it positioning, mobility, and thermal sights which will make the roman soldiers light up like Christmas trees in their sights they could easily wipe out a legion, which at best with the weapons they have would be able to destroy the CROWS mount for the 50 cal, assuming the Abrams even lets them get that close. The turret and main gun can even be used without the engine running and have the APU to keep power up and if it even comes down to it can be rotated and fired manually from within the turret.
That and the fact the 240 being the lightest weapon onboard still has a point effective range of 800meters mounted. And what wasn’t considered is the face that if the crew opened fire with the 120 the sound of that going off would scare the Romans off and soon as it hit they’d scatter like roaches

Honestly if the romans saw a M1 Abrams tank moving on its own (at least they would think so) and blowing stuff up they will probably think its some god and start to worship it.
"iron"? Modern tanks are painted. If ancient soldiers could afford iron, they polished it to show it off. (look at my pricy steel armour and fear me) The ancients wouldn't know what it was made of.
First off, the psychological effect a tank would have on ancient soldiers would cause such great trauma and fear that they wouldn't dare to get close enough to it in order to dig around, or even have the knowledge that this metal beast is men operated and needs fuel, ammunition and supplies to run. the author failed to mention that a modern tank is armed with an anti personnel shells (Flechette), cluster shells, and nepalm that could decimate an entire legion eventually. The 4 men crew is also armed with ashault rifles, and could keep fighting. BTW, a tank operation is not measured by distance; miles and or kilometers, but by hours of battle. I was able to see what kind of fire power our tank has during my service in the armored corps. cheers!
This whole vid is built on the premise that the Romans would use tactics to outlast the M1. As if the tank operators have no idea what tactics are. Any US soldier (and pretty much most other modern soldiers) can adapt to the situation.
@@Go-ah-oold Who said you have to drive it beyond the fuel range. Scout for a tactically superior position and wait for them to come to you. Your main cannon has nearly 4km of range. Find the high ground and let them come to you. Keep in mind, we're looking to defeat 5000 troops, not the whole of the Roman empire.

The massive cannons the Ottomans built specifically for the siege of Constantinople, I forgot what they named them but they were stupidly huge. I think only 2 made it to the siege.
@infographic A lot has been missed here. For one, the 12.7mm or .50 cal which normally comes with 1200 rounds at least, and is a bullet so powerful, that it doesnt stop at one body but can destroy and pass through up to 3-4 people in a row. You can destroy an entire phalanx of 500 with 1 or less than 1, box of ammo. The operators are trained on ammo conservation as well. The 120mm sends out shrapnel out to an easy 100m whilst maintaining lethality. However I do not know how many rounds is carried, BUT the M1A2 does have thermal optics and can take out targets up to 2km away. This means the M1A2 can simply perch up on a hill and have all angles covered. The 7.62 will also shred but not quite as much as the 12.7. Lets be honest here, the MBT does NOT need to stay mobile in a battle with an enemy that is using sticks and stones. There's also the M4's that the crew get issued to factor in, albeit not much more than 3-4 mags and several frag grenades. Additional ammo can also be carried in the top racks, on the exterior, whether it be a mix of fuel and ammo. And that's without bringing white phosphorus rounds into this theoretical conflict which does react with sweat on your skin, that I can imagine carrying all that old aged armor and moving through the heat will be lots of it. End result the M1 would come out on top, hands down should the modern day tactics be also used on behalf of the abrams crew. Which is perch up and take them out from afar, the Romans can swarm from all directions perform flank maneuvers but the abrams can easily just roll through their formations and outrun them to a new vantage point.
My heart says 40. checking... "Due to the increased calibre, only 40 or 42 rounds are able to be stored depending on if the tank is an A1 or A2 model." (Wiki) ps. I can't believe I got that right, and yet I can't remember important things.

The M1 Abraham tank has so much ammo in it that it could blow thru a 5,000 man army in a couple hours especially since the ancient romans would likely be running and screaming, absolutely terrified by the fire-breathing metal dragon that incinerates entire tortoise formations with a single blow. The ancient romans don’t stand a chance in this situation. Especially if you have the fight take place in modern times vs I’m ancient times where extra fuel and ammo doesn’t exist. You gave the Romans too many “benefit of the doubt” kind of points. I usually enjoy your versus videos but you were just wrong on this one man.
Yeha definitely to much benefit of the doubt. But fact is still that an Abrams can only fight 2 or 3 battles at a time until it runs outta ammo and the crew dies of thirst or hunger. Give it unlimited ammo and a back mounted fuel tank and it might just work.
If it was on a flat ground, like an arena of some sort, then yes, a single legion would struggle a lot. But in the middle east, the legion with a smart guy leading it would be a formiddable opponent, Romans would quickly learn, that concentrating in a large groups is a very bad idea, and thus, they would start attacking one by one. But the tank only carries around 50 rounds for the main gun, and even the machine guns couldn't concentrate when 5000 soldiers are attacking at once.
Legion can last a week without supplies But The thing is... the Abrams tank would just simply run over the entire 5000 men and after that mow down the rest with the guns within an hour

Inside of it is a portal to a different world and anyone can travel between the two freely, except that the gov't obviously locked it down. The world is medieval with plenty of magic. There's plenty of resources inside of it, which makes Japan extremely rich and thus they attempt to establish peaceful relationships with the countries already in the new world, except one of the countries is extremely hostile. This forces Japan to go into a battle where thousands of troops try to fight against a helicopter equipped with machine guns, which they call a dragon of steel.

A thousand couldn't stop a tank. They could stalk it possibly until they ran out of fuel. After 2 minutes they would be too afraid to go near it. If it even takes two minutes.
Once the Romans learned that the Abrams is something to fear, they would retreat, get their heads together and come up with several possible stratagems. One possible way to defeat the tank would be a camouflaged deep pit or trench across a ravine and lure the tank to cross it. Job done!
Something worth pointing out, the Romans typically didn't fight guerilla style up in the mountains. They, and the other major military powers of the time, fought in open terrain where they can spread their forces out and use proper formations. So, if they were to engage an Abrams in Iran or some other mountainous or hilly country, they'd want to try to face it on open ground at first so that they can deploy the legion properly.
As long as we're doing these crazy mental gymnastics. The Romans would have to have prior knowlage of what fuel and ammunition is to know they could out last the tank. If not after the first 5 minutes of the Abrams using its 105mm cannon firing High Explosive rounds coupled with its 2 50cal machine guns laying waste to every man in sight would cause any lucky Romans left alive to think "What is this Sorcery?" and have them running for the hills.

Its supposed to be a battle, not run and hide, hoping that the tank runs out of fuel. What's to stop the tank from turning off its engine to save fuel?
one important thing to consider is that the gas turbine engine doesn't just run on hydrocarbons, it runs on pretty much any flammable liquid. While there seems to be some debate on just how alcoholic things need to be to get the engine to turn over, we know at the least someone has run a turbine engine car on tequila before (~40%ABV). Whether or not the significantly less alcoholic wine that legionnaires would no doubt have with them would be sufficient to run or at least mix with the tank fuel to extend the supply by a significant amount is probably worth investigating.
7:45 ah yes the most effective strategy when heavily trained soldiers can’t hit the broadside of a barn. It also has machine guns, how do you miss every shot with a machine gun?
If the tank has the option to refill gas and supplies, why wouldn't they just flee at twice the speed of the fastest human when the little low-fuel light dings on? Guerrilla tactics.
They wouldn’t even know it was human operated so the tank could stand still when it gets “hit” with spears and they will think it’s dead and then you run them all over
I heard a historian talking about ancient rome and he said it's a myth that legionnaires used the gladius that it was more used in the fighting pits for gladiators because it was cheaper to make and harder to use because it couldn't really cut like other short swords and required a lot of force to stab someone with I dont know what the name of the weapon he suggested they used was but it was a short sword with a thicker head designed for cutting and swinging
Imagine them using the tank in chariot races after somehow figuring out how to get it refueled and then leaving it to the Greeks to figure out how it works only for them to be completely confused yet intrigued by all of the numerous geometrically precise parts that all work in perfect mechanical harmony.

First off, the psychological effect a tank would have on ancient soldiers would cause such great trauma and fear that they wouldn't dare to get close enough to it in order to dig around, or even have the knowledge that this metal beast is men operated and needs fuel, ammunition and supplies to run. the author failed to mention that a modern tank is armed with an anti personnel shells (Flechette), cluster shells, and nepalm that could decimate an entire legion eventually. The 4 men crew is also armed with ashault rifles, and could keep fighting. BTW, a tank operation is not measured by distance; miles and or kilometers, but by hours of battle. I was able to see what kind of fire power our tank has during my service in the armored corps. cheers!
This whole vid is built on the premise that the Romans would use tactics to outlast the M1. As if the tank operators have no idea what tactics are. Any US soldier (and pretty much most other modern soldiers) can adapt to the situation.

The massive cannons the Ottomans built specifically for the siege of Constantinople, I forgot what they named them but they were stupidly huge. I think only 2 made it to the siege.
@@frankjeaguer3643 i just searched. It called Dardanelles Gun or Great Turkish Bombard
Not true
Not how the empire fell
Byzantine Empire fell because it was old and weak. It got sacked by its own Christian allies and fell to a younger more powerful empire
@infographic A lot has been missed here. For one, the 12.7mm or .50 cal which normally comes with 1200 rounds at least, and is a bullet so powerful, that it doesnt stop at one body but can destroy and pass through up to 3-4 people in a row. You can destroy an entire phalanx of 500 with 1 or less than 1, box of ammo. The operators are trained on ammo conservation as well.
The 120mm sends out shrapnel out to an easy 100m whilst maintaining lethality. However I do not know how many rounds is carried, BUT the M1A2 does have thermal optics and can take out targets up to 2km away. This means the M1A2 can simply perch up on a hill and have all angles covered.
The 7.62 will also shred but not quite as much as the 12.7. Lets be honest here, the MBT does NOT need to stay mobile in a battle with an enemy that is using sticks and stones. There's also the M4's that the crew get issued to factor in, albeit not much more than 3-4 mags and several frag grenades.
Additional ammo can also be carried in the top racks, on the exterior, whether it be a mix of fuel and ammo. And that's without bringing white phosphorus rounds into this theoretical conflict which does react with sweat on your skin, that I can imagine carrying all that old aged armor and moving through the heat will be lots of it.
End result the M1 would come out on top, hands down should the modern day tactics be also used on behalf of the abrams crew. Which is perch up and take them out from afar, the Romans can swarm from all directions perform flank maneuvers but the abrams can easily just roll through their formations and outrun them to a new vantage point.
My heart says 40.

The M1 Abraham tank has so much ammo in it that it could blow thru a 5,000 man army in a couple hours especially since the ancient romans would likely be running and screaming, absolutely terrified by the fire-breathing metal dragon that incinerates entire tortoise formations with a single blow. The ancient romans don’t stand a chance in this situation. Especially if you have the fight take place in modern times vs I’m ancient times where extra fuel and ammo doesn’t exist. You gave the Romans too many “benefit of the doubt” kind of points. I usually enjoy your versus videos but you were just wrong on this one man.
Yeha definitely to much benefit of the doubt. But fact is still that an Abrams can only fight 2 or 3 battles at a time until it runs outta ammo and the crew dies of thirst or hunger. Give it unlimited ammo and a back mounted fuel tank and it might just work.
Provisionary edit:Does running outta bullets and shells count as losing?
@@theuselessteammate2097 id say no since the tank can still run them over
If it was on a flat ground, like an arena of some sort, then yes, a single legion would struggle a lot. But in the middle east, the legion with a smart guy leading it would be a formiddable opponent, Romans would quickly learn, that concentrating in a large groups is a very bad idea, and thus, they would start attacking one by one. But the tank only carries around 50 rounds for the main gun, and even the machine guns couldn't concentrate when 5000 soldiers are attacking at once.
as far as i know, a legion can't beat the tank but i sure know that the republican/empire legion might be able to figure stuff out
Legion can last a week without supplies But The thing is... the Abrams tank would just simply run over the entire 5000 men and after that mow down the rest with the guns within an hour

This is the plot of the GATE anime. Basically, a giant gate suddenly appears in the middle of Japan. Inside of it is a portal to a different world and anyone can travel between the two freely, except that the gov't obviously locked it down. The world is medieval with plenty of magic. There's plenty of resources inside of it, which makes Japan extremely rich and thus they attempt to establish peaceful relationships with the countries already in the new world, except one of the countries is extremely hostile. This forces Japan to go into a battle where thousands of troops try to fight against a helicopter equipped with machine guns, which they call a dragon of steel.

Something worth pointing out, the Romans typically didn't fight guerilla style up in the mountains. They, and the other major military powers of the time, fought in open terrain where they can spread their forces out and use proper formations. So, if they were to engage an Abrams in Iran or some other mountainous or hilly country, they'd want to try to face it on open ground at first so that they can deploy the legion properly.

one important thing to consider is that the gas turbine engine doesn't just run on hydrocarbons, it runs on pretty much any flammable liquid. While there seems to be some debate on just how alcoholic things need to be to get the engine to turn over, we know at the least someone has run a turbine engine car on tequila before (~40%ABV). Whether or not the significantly less alcoholic wine that legionnaires would no doubt have with them would be sufficient to run or at least mix with the tank fuel to extend the supply by a significant amount is probably worth investigating.
