Weren't they banned because it was abused in WW2? The amount of crimes committed with just these rounds easily surpassed the Holocaust. Why do they have access to it here?
I drew a triple gun reloading, which the modern slide and push method wouldn't fare well without needing to make the ammo storage part of the enlarged turret. So I just stuff the ammunition to the lift (it's not bb gun, thus no bags), then push it into the real breech. Then went bam babaeh (No propellant, just hydrogen B).
It turns horizontally. IK it's a little absurd, but I'll give the turret another additional "motor". Now the barrel turns by a bunch of walls, not going deep to the storage, powered from another motor
😉👍 Yep, and it's also extremely similar to the loading mechanism of a guy with a .17 - .35 rifle at a shooting range. Except that's an organic reloading system, used primarily on guns of a 'slightly' smaller scale.
I'm not an expert, but even though they might look the same, I'm sure that they're a different kind. Also, the Yamato class weren't all manual. They literally had loaders on them except for the AA guns What the hell are you guys on, you expected sailors to carry shells that weighs 1.4 tons each?.
I believe this is essentially the system H.M.S. Dreadnought used in her gun houses from 1906 The British would use a version in the H.M.S. Hood and up and to later H.M.S.Vanguard. The Japanese used it too since they got the first Kongo class battlecruiser from Britain and built the remaining three ships themselves. The contemporary American system was more manual labor intensive, grappling with shells and charge bags by hand as on the U.S.S Texas.
Shells and propellant come up to the working space from there they transfer to the loading cage it's the loading cage you see here. in theory the transfer is flash proof in the working space and the trunk is flash tight top and bottom with flash proofing between the handling room (bottom of the hoist system) and the magazine too
Does anybody have details on the gun? The breach looks like a british design (i know it's russian but maybe the russians got the breach design from the british)
Finns used so called "hard drum" or base for the this turret from 14 inch Russian turret from Makuluoto isl. It is much wider than native hard drum for 12 inch gun. Because of that mine here was made with greater depth than it was at analog Russian 12 inch turret of fort Ino and rate of fire is low of course too. There are 18 m down to so called "Reload deck" so lads downstairs can't be seen.
These costal twin turrets are bigger than naval tripple turrets with the same guns and equipment) So imagine how much worse it was on the battleship)))
Give the order to load with 1000lbs of Fk All. - But,,, Comrade , the use of Fk All has been banned by all Nations signed under the Geneva convention. - Guards, relieve this man, for mutiny. and get me someone who will put Fk All in these guns now ! Number 1 turn to hard Starboard 0 degrees n and bring us to full drift.
I suppose when there is a gun bag (like 80kg) or a 400kg shell on the loader, it weight forces it still to overcome the spring and roll out, but without a load, the door closes faster
! ObamaTookMyCat ! The Des Moines had the autoloaders for there 8in guns gave them a rate of fire of 10-12 rounds a min. They were also case guns so no powder bags much safer and faster. Also with the set-up in the video there is no real separation from the magazine. Which was dangerous
@@alexanderwilkinson2599 USS Newport News CA 148 had a major turret explosion in 1972 knocking out the turret completely & with the loss on many sailors. The casualty to the Newport News - a Des Moines class was the result of an 8" shell which had been fired detonating in the barrel of the center gun in Turret #2 before it left the muzzle. This type of failure is referred to as a "premature detonation", and in this case, a defective fuze on the shell was responsible for the premature detonation.
@@alexanderwilkinson2599 there is, the elevator we see only goes to the turret lower level, here sailors handle ammunition coming from the magazine elevator to the gun elevator.
Ya well when you stop with the pebbles and start hucking Volkswagens like the NJ then ya got something to talk about. Just sayin. Seen it firsthand and something I will never forget.
Leave it to Americans to clap when something works perfectly normal. I was confused when I landed in Florida and everyone started clapping, like it was some kind of miracle the plane worked as it should.
Of course, if they don't all gulp down that cultural coolaid and constantly find ways of telling each other how incredibly frikkin amazing they all are. Then there is the risk they may wake up from their fever dream, look around and realise what a dystopia they have turned their country into.
