In one of the Syria vs. Israel wars the Syrian tank core consisted of refurbished German WW2 tanks and ones from Czechia that were finished based on what was left in the factories when the Russians came through. The armories of most colonial nations that achieved freedom during that time consisted almost entirely of ww2 weaponry
Absolutely no reason to use WW2 88mm shells that cost in the thousands of dollars when you could ask a machinist to make some for a less than a quarter the cost
@@Jagdpanzer-bh4pb You have a point, they could just make a replica or model for the movie Now if a museum needed a shell done to give an example of one that's good looking, and not say in a wearhouse or in the Earth for years, then yes. They could easily make a brass she'll, and a sheet metal or steel head, paint it, and fill it up with rocks, weights, something, to give it the weight. But all together, there's so many shells like that, I think he really stopped caring about keeping that old look and not changing anything about it.
Dereik Henschel that is true but it is what it is. However id like to see these boys make a tiger two to scale with reproduction parts and wartime factory parts
The level of ammo each county had in the war is staggering and too think anyone living in towns where these weapons and ammo where used could be standing on history
Sander Visser doesn’t mean they always know what they are talking about. Steel was used for amour and shell casings for small arms but wasn’t reliable so brass was the better option.
Well, those 88mm shells are no longer worth much. Any shell with body filler completely and immediately devalues it. I have a shell with 60-70% brass wash on it, but there is a dent on the shoulder that I want to fix, but I am not quite sure how.
Romaster 8035 Oh, a magnet won’t cut it, these shells do not have thin walls, the casing walls are probably 1.5mm thick, upon which I can stand on it, and jump (I am 5”11, 180 pounds) without it getting a dent. They are 13 pounds of German made steel. If I am going to take the dent out, it is going to require a weld and some specialty made tools (most likely a threaded rod in order to pull the dent out in order to remind it.
yep it definitely was I learnt from watching these guys that he's knows his shit but it's fake as fuck my queastion was why would you put a Russian aa gun in a hot environment like I said fake or that movies going to make no fucking sense at all
@@johnsjoholm I remember one of the guys on you tube from the musem describing how he taught the film people how to drive it So why is he claiming he was the guy who supplied the tank?????
The Tiger 1 in the film came from the Bovington Tank Museum (Tiger 131 the only running Tiger 1 tank in the world) maybe what Bruce is referring to is his Hetzer Tank Destroyer which I know he has one, plus he supplied a lot of other props for the film as well.
