Do you know what was funny as I was watching the original video as it was taken down halfway through hilarious😂
Lol thank you, I was most of the way through when it got deleted 😂
Was it "Affaghanistan"?
This video about to blow up all over again! 🔥
I saw it and it was private and I was so sad I thought it got taken down
Still in disbelief with what you can do with Blender. Nice opening sequence too. Goosebumps!
Okay the production quality is insane. Cant wait for this channel to blow up
You mean like an RPG does? 😂
@@michaelmayhem350only when used by an american lol
@@unknown-qx8yq not sure what you mean. American aim sucks. Didn't you hear the dude fired 8 shots & only hit an ear. Pretty sure a storm trooper could have done better.
This production is insane.
Thank you sir
The 3D models are top notch👌
I also love that you give context why and how it was made
it's a crime to watch this kinda quality video in YT for free.
8:25 "The mountains of afaghanistan", but otherwise a very solid and well-produced video.
I was about to point that out, what a goof on an otherwise flawless video lmao
Also “rocket-propelled grenade” is wrong
Another thing - the jet of copper formed in the HEAT round isn’t molten, it’s plasticised.
Oh my god, the quality of production is just excellent. Pure joy for my eyes!
The opening scene is a masterpiece. Music, video and everything is just perfect.
This channel is the mustard/melodyspace for weapons.
Glad to have seen this in advance in NY - fantastic stuff
Production quality is top. This video is so, so good. Sound too, great. Can't wait for the next one 😅
HK416 or Sako M10 next ❤. So incredible what you are creating. Any Patreon plans?
Maybe one day. I want to get my feet beneath me for now
@@echozero_ Ok
3D modes and animations are superb! Perfect mix of history behind the weapon and its technical details. The use of a caliper to show the diameter was very clever!
Great job! Love the detailed modelling and showcasing how it works. Those smoke sims and the wiggles on the stabilizer fins were superb
7:01 Just a small semantic correction. The copper is not molten but a high velocity jet of copper, in excess of 8,000 m/s. This is called the Munroe Effect, at no point does the copper liner become molten.
@@Trve_Kvlt yeah you are correct. Molten is not technically correct. Although it is heated and behaves like a fluid, it is not molten. Thanks for the comment!
@@echozero_ Of course. Keep up the great content.
this comment should be pinned, I had to scroll way to far to find it.
Oh my gosh these animations are amazing, very clear and concise information too. Keep up the good work!
Bro came out of nowhere and released 3 absolute bangers.
The cinematic shots
The incredible attention to detail
The music choices!
Absolutely outstanding. Thank you.
man this video is awsome!
the quality and 3d models are amazing, intrested to see what this recent chanel will grow up to.
dude this quality is insane!
The sheer quality and cinematic feel of this video is just unreal
Awesome video, simple, to the point and informative without alot of unnecessary fluff. Earns a sub.
Круто! Особенно понравились мелкие детали типа армейских плакатов, наставления по стрелковому делу, надписи и маркировки совпадают. Очень хорошо проработано!
Wow, production value is nuts. Nice job
hidden gem that just popped on my feed, hope to see you guys grow
Fun safety thing about the RPG-7: The Hammer's neutral position is such that it's hovered a fraction of an inch off the back of the Firing Pin. It is only when the Trigger is pulled that this safety barrier falls. It rises again when the user lets go of the Trigger.
this guy deserves way way way more recognition, i didnt even realize this channel had less then 10k subs until i looked, i though this had millions of subs from the quality, you earned a new sub.
I’ve officially found another channel similar to neo,lemmino, and fern. I can not wait until this channel explodes into popularity I love this type of UA-cam content.
I'm amazed at the quality of your work! It's amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
God damn this is really fcking well made.
Very high production quality, and even the music builds up thrill.
That quality is insane, what a talent
I appreciate the kind words
Just saw your post on r/blender, the quality of the video is so amazing dude keep going!
The quality of this video is insane!
the animation, the textures, the models, the sound design. its just insane! cant wait for the next animation :)
That makes me happy!
Amazing as always, great video !
Thanks Miles!
very underrated, directing the video is amazing, real talent! 👏👏
Absolutely amazing! Keep this up!
Hell yeah man, keep it up!
Top notch quality, if you keep this quality up you deserve a lot more subs.
Thanks for watching. Have any ideas for future episodes?
Nice! Keep up the great quality!
I appreciate that!
@@echozero_ anytime!
Incredible production quality
Much appreciated!
Thats some next level quality stuff you got there. good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wait until you have a few more videos released and you’re a channel waiting to blow up. Personally I think these info channels on stuff I’ll never have to worry about (how a grenade or rpg works) is the most entertaining. It helps me wind down from the day. Here for the next!
THANK YOU for posting the music used in making your videos.
No problem!
Not even 10k subs, what a gem this channel is.
ok, this channel is going to explode real quick, real soon.
10/10, instantly subbed
awesome, welcome aboard!
Gorgeous presentation
Glad you liked it
@@echozero_ Great UA-cam channel and videos, but I found the background music to be too loud though. I would highly suggest to not have any background music. I strongly believe background music is annoying, distracting and unnecessary (especially for educational videos with lots of talking). I also believe people want to hear you speak and not hear generic background music that doesn't add anything productive and that people have to to mentally filter out. I'm also a little neurodivergent and am vulnerable to audio over-stimulation. Plus it will be one less thing thing to do when making videos. Thank you for you consideration.
Good quality liked and subscribed.
Amazing work.
very nice animations visuals and narration!
Great job!
Great video, a few nitpicks over pronunciation of Soviet and Afghanistan, but really incredible work! I cannot wait to see more
1st time viewer here. Just subscribed. This was amazing and I will be watching all of your other videos. Thank you for putting all this together and sharing this with the world. It's awesome ❤
I can't praise this enough.
Thanks and welcome
This is one of the best RPG video I ever seen , please keep the hard work
Thanks for watching. Have any ideas for future episodes?
First minute gave me the chills 👌
Great video gun mustard, keep making them
That is an enormous compliment.
Ooh man great 3D models ❤
Glad you like them!
Love your vid! Keep it up!👍
great video, keep it up
Appreciate you!
Cool video and incredible visuals! Great reference for us game dev nerds who will never get to use a real one. That inverting cone component is so fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great quality video
Best video i saw about rpg 7
you are doing everything very cool! waiting for new vidios
Great video, i do however regret to inform you that RPG doesn't stand for "rocked propelled grenade"
this is true, that is a moniker given to it by NATO troops, but the translation of its Russian name is very similar so it stuck.
The best explanation of the RPG I've seen...
Thanks for watching
Great video, great information 👍
Thanks for watching. Have any ideas for future episodes?
Просто потрясающий материал. А визуальный ряд, такому даже телевизионные передачи позавидуют. И это все у ютуб канала с 7к подписчиков. Так держать!
Great video bro, gonna blow up in no time
I appreciate the kind words
Good job
Thanks!
God DAMN, this is one hell of a video, Bravo!
thank you sir!
These animations are INSAAANE!
This channel will blow the fuck up. Keep doing that quality content and you are going big places.
Amazing. Came from Real Science recommended post. new subscriber here now.
Thanks and welcome
Gorgeous visualisation, pal. You did it alone?
Thank u ❤🎉
Hell yeah
We here before this blows up!!!
The coors can was a nice touch lol
High quality and nice commentary! Maybe G36C next? ❤
Ooohh good idea
the animation is awesome , im a sub now
How does this channel only have 6k subs
GRead detailed animations!, would had loved to see an animations of the inside auf the Frag and thermobarric versions
Maybe if I revisit this in the future, thanks for the comment!
Which software do you use for your 3d work flow? BTW Nice Video, Keep growing and keep shining.
Blender for 3D work, After Effects for 2D work, and Embergen for smoke sims.
The quality is incredible.
I was stunned by the opening. What is the song name by the way?
Really great video quality and animations hope to see more videos.
But I do think its odd to include the M10 GMC @1:27 in the center picture when talking about Soviet Infantry against German Tanks.
There were so few images or videos available for license from pre-rpg Soviet anti tank tech. That shot was moreso intended so show that prior to rocket style weapons, most anti tank tech was either gun based or thrown.
Thanks for the comment and support!
Nice. Subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Another fantastic video Mike! Can't wait for the next one ;)
The video is great, however the copper liner isnt actually molten when warhead explodes, its just turned into a high velocity jet of copper by using the Munroe effect so that it burrows into the armor kinetically and has no incendiary, explosive, or molten effects.
Soviets were great weapon designers.
Holy shit, I love this
very well done (RE video production)
What do you mean?
Slight correction - OG-7V anti personnel frag rounds do not use the sustainment motor, and therefore just barely sticks out of the barrel.
Good catch
Hi brother, this is really a great video. I hope you can have more and better videos!
BIG PROPS my guy. Animation, cutting, informations and editing on a professional level. Keep up the great work!
Much appreciated!
Good job. 👍
IMHO there is one mistake!
Small turbine on tail of the primary engine turns rocket about its the longest axis and stabilize it by rotating. It occurs when rocket moves in the barrel and has low velocity.
What do you use to edit/make your videos? I'm hoping to learn and edit like you? Also great video.
I do animations in Blender and edit in Premiere Pro, but I'm moving over to Resolve.
Great cideo
Great Video. However, some detailed Information on how the charges work would have been great, especially on the thermobaric one.
I know, maybe a followup in the future. So many cool things I had to cut
Amazing video! Subbed instantly. Though kinda disappointed that you didn't go through the various warhead types, as despite the PG-7V being one of the more iconic warheads, it is often mis portrayed as an anti-personnel weapon in media despite the more suitable TBG-7V thermobaric and OG-7V anti-personnel fragmentation warheads. Not to mention the more effective anti-armour PG-7VR tandem warheads and their bootlegs used to great effect against ERA-equipped modern tanks, used extensively in today's modern conflicts such as Ukraine, Israel-Palestine and all over the Middle East dating back to the GWOT.
Also, while the original PG-7V HEAT warhead can penetrate over 260mm RHA armour (though most modern tanks use HEAT-resistant composite armour), there have been a handful of modernizations and the most up-to-date HEAT warhead, the PG-7V**L** can penetrate over 500mm RHA.
Quality work, definitely needs more refinement on the audio side. Some filters and targetted denoising could a long way with sharp sounds.
With the VO specifically? Thanks for the feedback!
Yes @echozero_ The VO has sharpness to "S" and "K" sounds whether suffix or prefix. Some EQ, denoising, and simple filters can mitigate much of it. Great work again!
Thank you, I'll have a look at that in the future
