Actually us Brits still used rifled barrels on the challenger and all countries have rifled barrels on their artillery cannons(which is the modern version of the field gun) otherwise the shell won’t spin and will be inaccurate, hence why we have rifled barrels on our tanks, we an accurately hit targets up to about 5km shown by the challenger mk.1 world record tank kill, whereas the smooth bore Abrams has a higher velocity round, which means it also has more penetration(which doesn’t matter as the challengers round can penetrate most modern armour but also mainly employs HESH) but is drastically less accurately, only being able to hit a tank sized target from about 3km away and the shell will not hit the tank where the gunner was aiming, it will be slightly inaccurate
@@trahira9585 this civil war cannon firing use full military load and an actual cannon ball in it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EL13quhcUMw.html
@@trahira9585 You're welcome dude. My favourite is the range target camera and hearing the canon balls impacting as well as the report of the guns, just like the infantry would have experienced. It reminds one of just how brutal warfare was back then.
@@HighAway gunpowder only.. Just produce sound,flame and another stuff that can relate.. Maybe cause a 'litte' recoil but the cannon itself to big and heavy so the power off the recoil cant be seen..

Sorry... wrong! Breech Loading (BL) guns (ie loaded with a bag charge) always need sponging between shots because of the risk of burning embers being left in the breech igniting the new charge. The chamber needs to be swabbed with a wet sponge and the face of the breech wiped with a wet cloth. Muzzle loading guns should be swabbed for the same reasons. Only modern BL guns using combustable case charges have stopped sponging in some cases.
@@tatumergo3931 Amen to that... If you are ever in UK, a visit to Fort Nelson above Portsmouth is worth the effort. They fire the cannon every month in the summer, either these 32pounders, the 13" Mortars or the Armstrong gun up on the parapet in a Haxo casemate. The fort also houses the UK artillery museum. I have visited several times!
@@tatumergo3931 Sounds like a good trade.. I have relations in Edmonton, and should really make the effort to visit your great country once this Covid nonsense is over.. Had my first dose of vaccine yesterday, so things are progressing! Pax vobiscum...!
