pipes really needs to upload more often i mean he's one of the best iceberg youtubers out there

I like how the bob semple tank is bassically the same idea as the kill dozer, but instead of being made by a single angry man, was made by an entire country, and somehow managed to be worse

This Channel is proof that quality helps click through rate. I’m not even particularly interested in weapons, but since it’s a Pipes video I couldn’t click faster

Another fun iceberg! I just had one quick note on The killdozer; The armor of the Killdozer actually had a "fatal flaw" that was the cost to make the armor so good; once it was lowered onto the body, nothing could get in or out again until it was lifted off. This wasn't just revenge, it was also a suicide, which I think is important for the context of the story, and also the context of why the Killdozer was so effectively armored by a civilian.

Bro the guy that made the toothbrush crossbow deserves an engineering degree

It doesn’t really matter to me if the guns were ineffective The fact that someone had an idea that they were able to make a reality is impressive in itself

The bat bomb had the potential to be really devastating because Japanese houses back then were pretty much all wood and paper (think those sliding doors with paper squares). Fires have always been devastating in crowded cities in Japan,

17:30 “They built a flying tank” my head thinking it’s a tank with eagle wings like some Super Mario enemy lmao

Interestingly enough, the two cannonballs connected to a chain is not far off from what a "chainshot" is. A chainshot is two halves of a cannonball attached to a chain, that when fired, would spin rapidly and wrap around the masts of enemy ships, snapping them in the process.

"The project fail due to the cats being unpredictable and hard to train" Yeah no shit.

It’s crazy to think that in an alternative timeline, bat bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima rather than an atomic bomb.

Parallel Pipes and Wendigoon are unrivaled when it comes to iceberg videos

That Microwave Harrasment thing is LITERALLY an SCP. An unexplained anomaly that even is described as one in official documentation.

Weaponized dolphins actually appeared in a command and conquer game, red alert. Where a Dolphin is an allied naval unit mostly for scouting and submarine hunting. The soviets had a counterpart... A giant squid.

18:06 the flying tank is actually a lot worse than you would think it was barely able to lift up off the ground after they had already modified the tank to remove most of the timer more than half of it's ammo and it's turret. Basically they made a flying tank by turning the tank into not a tank

Ok so me and my friends have this running joke where we find images of ridiculous weapons like homemade or primitive firearms and obscure mediaeval weapons and say that someone pulls up their shirt and reveals it in their waistband like a gang member. This video has given me so much material

I'm not in the weapons fandom, this was really fascinating and so well done.

I miss these videos dude i hope Pipes comes back soon

The Davy Crockett is literally an irl fat man from fallout. Beautiful. Really wanted to see an iceberg about weird guns, glad you were the one to do it. 🔥🔥

Something I love about your videos is that you always get to the point, never going off the rails. Keep up the great work!

There's another weapon which is also pretty weird which is kinda similar to the Exacto device. It's called Pike, and it's essentially an underbarrel rocket launcher. And apparently, these rockets were meant to have the ability to home on to targets via the use of the main gun's optic sights.

Ah shit, the man is back! I literally just finished binging all of Pipe's iceberg videos several minutes ago, so this feels like a reward!

love how our take on a tank was " corrugated sheep pen on treads"

At first i read the title and thought it was one of those WW2 random experiments where they tried to make a warship out of an iceberg.

Hey cool, I worked at the Penitentiary Museum in Kingston! That particular crossbow must have been in storage at the time, but there's a whole room dedicated to homemade weapons like that, including but not limited to firebombs made from ping-pong balls, razorblades stuck into anything that serves as a handle, and even rolled-up magazines that had been hardened into clubs. There were also stories about a whole sword (dubbed "The Gladiator") that they had, but I never saw it.

I'm low key kind of sad the gustav was destroyed. Would have loved to see it's 32 meter long barrel elevated as a display.

Man taking the iceberg format, which quite honestly, is kinda getting old, and applying it to unusual random subjects is a great ideia, really refreshing, great video

Microwave harassment sounds like a grindcore band

It’s always a good day when pipes uploads.

There's a classic air combat game called Secret Weapons Over Normandy where you use the bouncing bomb on a dam. Even if you aren't interested in the game, check out its soundtrack, it's epic

The Schwerer Gustav is pretty much the "Colossal Lethal Bazooka" that I used to create in Super Scribblenauts when I was a kid.

there's nothing more comical to me than a dolphin swimming up, poking a guy, and him just exploding. lol wtf

I'm surprised new zealand in the 40s even had electricity lmao

17:25 this thing is like a spider with wings, absolutely terrifying

_The bat bomb was a device being developed by Batman._

Little disappointed Project Pluto/SLAM wasn't on here, that shit was literally insane. It was an unmanned Nuclear ramjet developed in the 50's that used basically an archaic form of GPS as its guidance system and it held sixteen 10 megaton nuclear warheads. What it would do is that we would send it over a target location where it would drop the nukes and once all of them were dropped it would practically fly in a giant circle around the location spewing out radioactive exhaust for however long until it would eventually crash where the reactor powering the jet would then explode blasting out more radioactive material. The craziest thing about it is that it made it all the way to the test flight stage until funding ran out if I recall correctly and then was scrapped.

ngl the killdozer was a good anti-building vehicle.

its that time of year, when parallel pipes posts a good video, that you have to watch over and over again till the next one 😔

it's funny how the KILL-dozer actually took no lives. The only death in that incident was Marvin's.

The Baag Naak was actually a historically successful weapon I believe. It helped the Maratha Ruler Shivaji kill a Mughal ruler in a sneak attack

When I first saw the DARPA bullet it was pretty damn interesting, but for some weird reason, it suddenly reminded me of how the green bird flies in Angy Birds. And it'll honestly never not be funny for me anymore.

Interesting to learn about the helmet gun as the US Army uses a similar concept with the Apache gunners helmet, which aims the .50 cal machine gun under the belly where ever the gunner looks

I’m very late on this but I really wish you’d post often but I understand you’re very busy with having a life but I find your voice very calming

the bat bomb would be a superb weapon in a remastered or new Worms game

The talking laser seems like the turrets from the portal games, I wonder if that’s how they got the inspiration to make a talking laser

The double barrel cannon was to attempt to make the chain shot more accurate.

This is irrelevant but I love your voice . It’s perfect for these kinds of videos. You don’t overdo it or anything of the sort, keep it up :)

17:26 This is the funniest intro to a segment I've seen

“helmet guns” I sleep… “Flying tank” _REAL SHIT?!_

These are some of the most interesting videos i’ve seen in awhile, keep up the good work my guy :)

Imagine hiding in a house with the army about to attack and then you just see a glowing orb start talking to you lmao

I just realized the bat bomb would’ve killed the bats 😭 I thought they were just gonna drop them

That bulldozer was sick. Dude would've been a god during a zombie attack..

If i ever decide to make a band I'm gonna call it Microwave Harassment

I love your content. Hope you make more. I can watch your videos for days

Thank god this man made another video, his content is dope asf

Im hoping you post again soon, love the videos!

The EXACTO bullet could be based off of gyrojet technology, making it technically the world's smallest guided missile. However, due to the recoil in the video, it is likely a more traditional style of bullet. The reason I believe this might be a possibility is because a rocket has more control than a normal projectile does, and sounds plausible enough that some video-games with smart bullets use it as an explanation of how it works.

Babe, wake up! Parallel Pipes uploaded a new iceberg video!

The plane with an Infared laser mounted on the front that mightve been able to blast nuclear missles out of the sky is a actually a really smart military idea. It's expensive and the laser appearantly wasn't powerful enough but if you worked out that one issue think about how useful it could be. If there ever was a first strike against us. You could have several of these patrolling stretches of land and prevent the consequences of a nuclear missle destroying an entire city if it even managed to shoot down just one missle.

I could legit listen to this guy for hours, I am not even joking.

Great video as always pipes! Hope you can get more of these out more often! All good though keep up the good work! Also I had no idea that US finally had an idea of what might be going on with the Havana syndrome! Good to know I remember when a lot of that news broke in 2016 and 2017 the state department started to get a little nervous and issued a few different warnings. Very interesting stuff

you’re literally like the only person making iceberg videos that aren’t cheesy

you are by far the best iceberg tuber. please never stop!

Another few months, another iceberg. Love these videos. Keep it up♥♥

New video from pipes means a good day!!

Loving the Stal as background.Also this video made my evening brighter.Another classic by parallel pipes.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOOSSSS YAYYYY THANKS FOR UPLOADING IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSS

This is exactly what I needed today. Thank you 🙏

your channel is my fav. love every upload man

Love the content, keep it up!

Thanks for the amazing video, i absolutely love your content!

ah yes this will definitely be his last iceberg this time (but for real though, hope he makes more of these. i love 'em :D)

This dude is always making great videos. Thanks parallel

your iceberg videos are my favorites, even a video about ridiculous weapons are interesting if its made by you lol

this iceberg is the greatest example of how humans have unlimited imagination when they create guns.

Thank GOD you have a new video

Man, i love your videos!

i love your videos so much they are the most entertaining things on this sight

Another amazing parallel pipes video

you should totally make a sequel to this video, very interesting stuff

YES! New video right when I needed it

Made my day today with this iceberg glad to be still watching this channel with a glass of orange juice

Thank you for uploading

pipes is one of the best icebergs youtubers pls upload more

The killdozer is the most insane story in existence I swear

This video is extremely informing. Thanks

I'm surprised the AIR-2 Genie wasn't mentioned, since it's a 1.4 Kiloton nuclear rocket designed to be used against bomber formations. Oh yeah, it was unguided as well. It could be carried by the Northrop F-89J Scorpion, McDonnell F-101B Voodoo, and Convair F-106A Delta Dart.

Once again Parallel Pipes creates one of the most interesting iceberg videos found on the internet, great job!

I clicked on this for the title, within 5 seconds it exceeded my expectations for how ridiculous a weapon could really be.. 🙃 This video is brilliant lmao. I'm surprised I haven't seen this concept covered before! Genuinely fun and interesting topic.

The Roman’s bringing war elephants to Britain is such an underrated piece of trivia

ayo parallel pipes did you do every article on the rabbit hole iceberg or just most? because i would love and watch the ones you missed pls release a video of the rest with commentary if possible. real intrigued

NEW UPLOAD LETS GOOOO btw I know that the pressure to make more videos and make them higher quality is high so I just want you to know that most people would rather wait for high quality upload than get lower quality uploads more often. Keep up the good work

I don't normally like these iceberg videos but this is hilarious

Another banger dude

After 3 months, the high quality iceberg guy has returned!

Seeing you upload made my day

BABE WAKE UP NEW PARALLEL PIPES ICEBERG JUST DROPPED

As soon as you mentioned that toothbrush crossbow, I was hooked.
