These weapons videos are turning into an excellent little series.
I've watched probably hundreds of German tank videos over the years, but never once have seen an actual demonstration of magnetic mines and Zimmerit paste!! So fascinating to see a full demonstration of it. You guys are doing God's work!
😅😊
i saw that and instantly liked the video.
Wow. Never seen such an extensive overview, even with the actual artefacts, both the weapons and their targets.
Addicted to Workshop Wednesday but these extras are fantastic. This was just so informative. Keep them coming!
Thanks for the extra deluxe content ,it`s pretty much never seen before and is right in tune with your museum.
Thanks Darryl for the Edu-me-cation .I only knew half of them . The 80 years ago is starting to show their simple construction methods and age while we live in a circuit board era
I've seen more cool stuff in first three minutes than in few episodes of the anti tank chats. I hope you'll guys have time to restore those items as well at some point to a perfect condition.
Hey congrats on the prize. Idiots. Totally agree about tTM anti-tank chats - the presenter has the personality of a dead bass and it's basically a talking head presentation. I don't watch them anymore.
Shaped charges don't 'burn' through armour, they use the kinetic energy of the explosively formed copper penetrator to force their way through armour, the copper then spalls in the tank killing the crew and detonating any ammo in the tank.
Very informative. 👍
An excellent 8-minute wrap-up. Well done.
The best part of this museum content is the technical details on vehicles and weapons , other channels just repeat the same things we all heard a thousand times. Here they take you into a Pz III engine bay and explain everything in detail while they make repairs amazing !!
Really enjoying this series of videos - learning lots of fascinating information. Cheers.
One thing of note- HEAT rounds do NOT "burn" or "melt" through the armor. At the speeds of the kinds of detonations HEAT rounds operate in, the liquid metal is, itself, the penetrator- there is not enough time to transfer heat energy into melting the armor of the tank that is being hit. The explosives focus the wave of the inner "cup" onto itself, adding all the energy together into a focused, standing wave. This propels the metal well over hypersonic speeds, easily past mach 5, 6, 7, etc. The liquid metal is simply going fast enough to punch through the armor as if it were a conventionally fired round. At those speeds, a grain of sand would do the same thing- imagine it like micrometeorites hitting space stations.
awesome presentation of a fascinating subject. well done daryl!!!keep em coming guys!
I really enjoyed this episode of explaining the weapons and how they were used mostly against tanks and showing them up close would liked to have seen a shell from a 88 make that next time on weapons, brilliantly done Mate
Excellent video - Darryl obviously has great deal of knowledge about all things tanks & not just how to rebuild them
Very good work! A couple of minor points for those interested in shaped charges. The standoff gives the correct distance for proper formation of the jet (formed from the liner) and for focusing explosive force on one spot. Not dissimilar to how you focus light from a magnifying glass to a tiny spot. The liner of the conical shaped charge is of great importance. From memory these ones used copper, which was found to be a great liner. Glass works well also. I believe modern charges use alloys. The explosive must be a high velocity type such as composition B etc. Types such as ammonium nitrate based, medium velocity dynamite and the like don't work anywhere near as well, or at all. Also, the position of the detonator is key, it must be above the apex of the cone for proper shockwave propagation. Generally, standoff is 2-3 times the diameter of the cone. Shaped charges also come in other forms such as linear charges, some types of shaped charge use plastic explosive with no liner, such as the diamond charge.
Another great video. Now if there were just Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday workshop videos. Naturally you folks need the weekend off.
Happy to see more content from you guys, keep it up👍
The work you all do is outstanding. This is another excellent presentation. Daryl and all of the guys are tops. I always look forward to your updates. Thank you.
That was a really great, to the point, walk through of those weapons.
Any kind of video you post will be highly appreciated !. Can't wait to watch next video.👍
Simple but well explained and that is perfect for someone who has never seen these items. What is funny is that there is a German training film where they show how to use them. Men Against Tanks. However a war movie called Cross of Iron Also showed these destroying Soviet vehicles. In the very late 1980s to early 1990s I used these films to train my Assault Troopers in 4/19 PWLH. Please keep up excellent series.
I mean who doesn't like a rifle grenade with a "safety" bullet catch that you're never supposed to use because they expect you to have propelling blanks at the ready in the heat of battle... Right? :) I bet more than half them went downrange a few grains heavier than expected...
Another great historical reference video from Daryl, keep it up Daz. Enough tech detail and nicely engaging, this guy's great with his hands and great with the narration.
Restoring old WW2 guns has to be the coolest job on planet earth.
I think the cone is copper and is flipped inside out on detonating thus shaping the plasma jet funnel-like.
Wow, I just saw this one didn't realize Wednesday wasn't the only presentation you did !
Magnificent work!
Thank You. For all that you have done!!!
🇦🇺 Great video! Man sure knows his subject.
Love the extra info on weapons!👌great additions!
I like the way you explain this things. Thanks for taking the time to show these details.👍
I really enjoyed this video, an enthusiastic presenter with authentic examples of the weapons giving an easy to understand presentation.
Thank you, simple and informative.
great insight into tank weaponry - i remember as a kid building model kits and seeing the magnetic mines in 1:35 scale, but i never really know much about them and with no internet then, sourcing good valid information was less easy unless you know what books to look for, Jane's Infantry etc - but learning now why tanks were covered in that material makes perfect sense now - great video - i love this stuff there is a little old fella in the UK by the name of Sidney Alford (86 died in 2021 sadly, i was a great fan of him) sometimes seen on tv working his magic in explosives, did a lot of explosives using water to hit targets behind walls, like chemical weapons hidden in a container, very effective, the man was a genius
Wonderful video! Thank you!
Thanks for the unexpected Friday video! Loved it!
Very interesting, thanks 👍🏻🇦🇺
Fascinating stuff - thank you for the video
Thanks, Daryl, for another brilliant video, Cheers.
Brilliant! Thanks for the video!!
Daryl knows his stuff! Very cool!
Outstanding video, presentation by Darryl and the content. We love these weapon and vehicle review videos. Thank You! I can't wait to visit your museum. From California USA
Love this series
Once again fantastic great information
A very well done video. Clear, informative, and nothing extra. Bravo.
Keep these type of videos coming, their well presented and informative.
Panzerfausr also increased in range, not just charge. Zimeric was a wasted effort
Thanks very informative and well thought out.
Thank you. Informative and very well presented.
Another great and instructive video - Thanks mates.
That's really informative. More please! 😁
and more things we never knew 👍loving these very informative vids from Daryl 🙏
Excellent presentation. Great information on anti tank devices and mines. Thank you.
You guys are the #1 channel of this genre'. Absolutely the best.
Great video, however I feel the need to note that, shaped charges don't actually "burn" through armour. It's a misconception from the acronym HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) the explosive actually accelerates the copper (by use of the cone) into an extremely fast moving jet/penetrator. Which penetrates armour using the same principle of kinetic penetrators.
Really informative, thanks
Best Video on How Wars we're fought on the Cheap!
this is absolutely fascinating, thank you so much for sharing, I learned some new things today
Fascinating!
The shaped charge was a great piece of engineering, not only in warfare but their use in demolition projects where they can accurately "slice" through steel beams and girders.
A couple of these I have heard a little about, a few of these I have never heard about. I have never heard something so consice and indepth about any of these. Wonderfully intresting and bringing me to look more up on some these fascinating pieces of technology.
Awesome lesson. Thank you.
Excellent walkthrough
Great stuff, keep posting more like this please.
Stellar collection!!
Love your work 👍
Loved this✌️👍
Pretty neat collection! 👍
Wow this museum got alot of stuff!! Very intresting!
Outstanding video!
Nice...this guy knows his stuff
Fascinating and horrifying in equal measure! Subscribed.
Thank you - that was really informative. And hearing it in an Aussie accent was music to my ears.
Excellent! 👍
Excellent, thanks.
Very interesting presentation thank you 🙂
Great video, I've never seen a Bar Mine before so cool!
Man another excellent video.
Excellent video well explained and demonstrated. The bar mine and the tank demo charge were new to me. I had read about both but never seen them much less have a demonstration of how they were actually used.
Great video and information
Great video! When the explosive is set off inside the head, it turns the cone, which is made of copper, inside out and and that turns it into basically a super heated copper bullet. When you see these that have hit a target you get a little explosive burn but there is a small hole where the cone went in, separated and had its way. 10 years USMC 6 years training fng’s on weapons systems. OORAH!
Excellent video!
Fantastic Video
a ton of information, thanks
Excellent.
Excellent
very instructive and didactic video
Cool video. Good presentation.
Thanks mate! G' day.
Interesting. Thanks
Very interesting, thank you.
I'm loving these vids. I'm also wondering if there's an outtake video somewhere. I mean, us Canadians are the only people that can keep pace with Australians at casually swearing constantly in normal conversation.
Great video.
Man's ingenuity in creating objects to maim and kill is horrifically and disturbingly fascinating. Just imagine if only half of that intellect and money had or could be used for, say, education or feeding people or disease eradiction. Also, I think that the cone becomes inverted on detonation and that concentrates the energy into a small jet.
Thats exactly what the cone does. Molten copper spear penetrates armor and spalls the inside
Petite vidéo sur les armes et munitions très instructive bien présentée . Excellent .
Bon!
Thanks
Wow! Lotta info in 8 1/2 minutes! 🥳
really interesting!
