Such a missed opportunity.
Hah ya

i bet he can survive that 800mm to the head with enough vitality level
I dont get it..
I would’ve put “Big Bertha Shell” next to a German soldier called “Big Berty Schnell”
Overall, very well done. To the commenters stating this or that wasn't included, if every type of artillery ammunition were included, this video would be probably an hour or so long and we'd never watch the whole thing, not to mention that the time and effort involved to create it in the first place would be pretty significant.
Thanks! Yeah rendering took a long time, so I had to be somewhat selective with the ammunition that I Included. I'll have to make a part 2 sometime with the ones I missed. :)

A blurb about the projectile weight of each round, its powder charge and max range would have been the icing on the cake!!
Genau… war ich auch drüber “gestolpert”….
But what projectiles? Most cartridges use many different bullets and even powders.
@@hugostiglitz4777 not all rounds use Cordite.
@@hugostiglitz4777 you sure? Because ball and flake powders are used in most small arm ammunition, and only the British and their colonies or ex colonies regularly used it before the Cold War.
The turn at the end was definitely needed !
yes
I didn't even know there was that turn until I saw your comment hehe
That 800mm case would make a nice 1 person hot tub.
I mean ...ejected shells and all that.
YES
@@operatorchakkoty4257 .....I don't think you understand how most large cannon shells work there bud.....there is no ejected shell... there is the shell which is the explosive and those white bags/tubes are the propellant which force the entire shell out the barrel the largest ejected shells I know of are small howitzers maby u could use as a solo foot bath..but anything larger does not have ejected brass you can recover.
@@kiwidemon8555 wrong there bud, example the 420 "Dicke Bertha" had brass shell casings.
380mm also had them

How are you even supposed to load that thing? Its gigantic and probably weighs like 5 metric tons
@@yannickschmitt3537 probably an assisted auto loading mechanism

The 88 was probably the best artillery weapon ever. My personal experience was with the 105 and 155. I really was impressed with the towed 105.
Average AA gun used as an anti tank gun. 3.7 and 90mm guns just as good.

@@andytan2412 big ol dinosaurs!
We don’t. They’re called artillery “shells” for a reason lol
Mister deficit of vocabulary, it's shell. Or shot.
Everyone thinks bigger must be better, but the 88mm was perfectly lethal and accurate.
Not if you going to sink a freaking battleship or lay siege to a city. Hence all other bigger shells.
@@SlavicSpring I dont understand why you would ever need a specifically ARTILLERY round that big, though. Just use bombs from planes (if possible) or a bunch of smaller rounds. I promise you dont need those last few on the list just to lay seige or damage a city, anything bigger than the 16 inch battleship round is just too much, not really efficient for use as a land-based artillery round
@@Salamandra40k you are just ignorant and you don't know how effective it's to have artillery that big since the battle ships could have AA or Sams which won't allow the bomber to get close that's why they use that big a$$ artillery
@@KFLY007 You don't have to call me ignorant lol, think about it logically. I'm not talking about laying seige to a ship, I'm talking about laying seige to a land target, which is what these artillery pieces were designed to do. A city or fort may certainly have AA capability, but this was World War 2, not Vietnam. AA didn't have night vision, trackning radar, or computer aiming. All you had was some guys on a gun with a manual turn wheel and some vague callouts over radio. Bombers and fighter-bombers could easily approach, manuever, and drop munitions on cities or forts without TOO much trouble, as long as they had protection themselves in the form of tight formations and fighter escorts. The only reason I brought up battleship guns was because battleships off the coast can lay seige to land targets just like artillery pieces can (and in fact, that's what battleships are designed to do). Idk where you got the idea I was talking about shooting battleships with artillery, but that's not at all what I meant. Try to read a little better before insulting people and replying next time.
Edit; Also, imagine why giant artillery pieces like this were almost always only ever built and used in extremely small numbers. Take the Karl-Gerat, for instance. 6 Total were made, and even though they were technically used throughout most of the war, they only saw specific and very limited use against certain targets. Now take the much smaller standard 105mm Howitzer. Used throughout WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, and even sees limited use into today. It's smaller, easier to transport, easier to fire, easier to produce and maintain, and is still known for packing a powerful punch. There's a reason all militaries widely used multiple, smaller artillery pieces as compared to a few, giant ones.
@@Salamandra40k The Schwerer Gustav was made when the Germans were trying to take over Brittain.You know why they had to make that artillery?Because they failed to have supremacy over air control om Brittain.Hence they made the weapon........Even thoigh it was a desperate decision.
When you realize that the weight of metal in any of those last rounds is more than a Battalion of infantrymen would shoot through their rifles in a day of 'intense combat'... One... Freaking... Round.
Back in the day at Great Lakes,there was a display on the quarter deck of the "greenhouse", from 3 inch to 16 inch. It was an impressive display.
Great Mistakes right?
Again.. the quality of this is awesome
My brain doesnt want to believe that those rounds are actually that big, but I know they are
Me: "Hans!!!"
Hans: "Bigger Kanone right?"
Me: "Ah shit, here we go again"
Nicely done. The various items used for scale every so often were very helpful. Cheers.
0:52 imagine being killed by an oversized push pin.
Imagine trying to find "your number" on the huge side of that last bullet!! 🤣🤣🤣
That shell is APFSDS, basically a giant metal rod, meant for anti armor
I saw the 46cm at the Yamato museum in Kure. Thing is huge.
Very interesting and well made!
Thanks for sharing this with us! That bicycle for scale was great timing. I was wide-eyed after seeing that. Then the 800mm…. tremendous! ✊👍❤️🇺🇸
When you get a cannon so fat the ammo is the size of primaris marines, you got the normal cannon

Great overview...
As a WW2 model builder I recognize some of these larger shells.
Recently purchased the 800mm Gustav/Dora 1/72 scale model. Its massive.
Great video. Educational. Thank you.
It would be good to have the weight of eatch round .
Well the 800mm Schwerer Gustav shell weighs about 7 tons lol
Heavy Gustav is a bad ass.
Its a name so write it in german.
Wow. Very well done and very realistic. Keep on the good work!
Your channel has a great future! Beautiful models!
Underrated channel
the 105 howitzer really is a good compromise between size and effectiveness, great for infantry use
What did 122mm do to you that you neglect it? A bit more practical, yet stands right on the edge of heavy artillery.
@@worldoftancraft isnt it too modern? like infantry doesnt operate direct shooting artillery nowadays. I just think on the modern battlefield the 105 is substituted by either smaller mortars(82mm) or ATGMs
@@joemama.556 122mm is a land calibre of early 20th century, developed for 1931 artillery cannon for URSS needs. Still being used by any post-soviet military and was widely used during WW2 as the main gun for doing «artillery preparation» if enemy's positions before the onslaught.

I wish we were on the timeline with ever crazier artillery. Culminating in INTERCONTINENTAL ARTILLERY CLASS.
Technically, ICBMs are just an advanced form of Artillery.
No that would be bad

Fixed that for you.
Guys be here talking about how bad it is to have a nazi weapon existing while countries still making weapons of mass destruction casually for some reason.
I saw one of the naval 16" artillery shells at a history museum in Astoria Oregon once, it's mind boggling to think they were hucking those 5 foot tall 2,700 pound bricks of steel and explosives at 2,680 FPS.
Not counting the energy of the explosives contained in the shell, the muzzle energy works out to 301.5 million Ft-Lbs, or just a tad under 409 million Joules. For reference, a .50 BMG has anywhere between 12 and 15 thousand Ft-Lbs. You'd have to shoot 20,000 .50 cal rounds (being generous here with 15,000 ft-lbs) at the same time and target to equal one of those 16'ers lol. Damn, _that_ would be a sight to behold, wouldn't it?🤣 Twenty thousand .50 BMG rifles all pointed at the one single target with computer controlled solenoid actuated triggers so that each round hits at the exact same moment with time of flight taken into account. A human size/shape casting made of lead or soft steel would really show off the power lol. Wish it was anything more than a pipedream, I think the 16" gun would be cheaper to fire at that point🤣
If i remember, one of thr US battleships served in Desert Storm. Those 16" rounds do can cover 20 miles. The battleship was providing offshore artillery fire and one round hit an Iraqi army command post. Nothing left but a crater 20 feet deep. MI h. Heaper to fire than cruise missiles but a cruise missile can travel several hundred miles instead of just 20 and hit with high precision so one missile hit can destroy what 50 16" gun rounds cant.
You have to realize that the 16in gun will carry more potential energy than a bunch of Lil rounds. For instance and I'm going to Put this into layman's terms. Let's say you are able to launch a 10lb bowling ball at 500fps or 10lbs worth of copper bb's at 500fps all at the same time and use the same point of aim. Which would do more damage? Let's just say the target is a car. Which would carry more potential energy? You have to realize that the solid object will carry more potential energy than thousands of Lil objects.. Right? Because regardless of how many there are, each bb is only carrying a very small amount of potential energy. See the solid object has weight behind all focused into one spot. The bb's will not carry all their energy forward they will be allowed to move freely. I'm probably doing a horrible job of explaining this. But I think it kind of brings things into perspective at least.
@@richardbadish6990 I certainly can't remember my college physics much as that was some 40 years ago, but I think yiu are comparing a pukes and oranges. A 10 pound bowling ball at 500 fishing will certainly pack more energy than 20 pounds of BBs at the same velocity. First, the BBs are not one solid object and will spread out to thousands of BBs each losing energy rapidly. So using thr sane velocity will of course give thr massive advantage to thr bowling ball. However, increase thr velocity of thr BBs sufficiently and it can equal or exceed thr energy if thr bowling ball.
Astronomers trying to envision a space craft traveling at hyper velocities have to be aware that even a small fragment if space debris impacting at every high speeds can ause a huge amount of damage. A grain of sand traveling near the speed of light has enough energy to pulverize a space station. So your position is true if both objects of different mass travels at thr same speed. But increase the speed and the energy of thr less massive object can increase to equal or surpass the more massive object.
@@richardbadish6990 let's say you fired 20k 50 cals do you know how hot that target will be after your dont shooting it? Probably melting or damn well near it as well
2680 FPS? Wow. What GPU they were using?
Actually a very good size comparison video, serious sound design and good references for size, but some of these aren’t really artillery but it was still cool to see them featured
Gustav was a monster in every aspect, however being a monster is what killed the project. It required too much man power to operate and move, it was WAY too large to hide from bombers, reloading it took ages and the recoil was enough to launch it backwards a huge distance. Thankfully, it's creation drained enemy resources.
Imagine being near that thing each time it was shot. Fuck that
The barrels had to be replaced really soon to.
@@dylonmc4323 I read that, I don't remember how many rounds it could fire before the barrel needed replacement but it was very low, like 30 rounds. Just another reason it was a monster.
@@blackmonkey965 Hell naw, I wouldn't stand 100 feet from it, given how much powder they needed to use, the muzzle blast pressure would be incredible and the recoil of the entire assembly would be terrifying. I think I read each shot made it roll back on the rails about 100 feet.
@@Shawn_the_Protogen 100 feet!? Holy fuck, I didn't expect that for how heavy that gun is lmao

I like how i haven't fired a howitzer in over a decade and i still remember the names and round sizes
i really doubt you fired a howitzer in your life considering whats in your channel, but i could be wrong, but it doesnt make sense why you would remember the rounds and sizes since each and every round in this video is from a different nation, and is mainly only fired by that nations howitzers.

Interesting and well done, though it would've been interesting for the weights to be added to the stats.
Some of the first ones, including most tanks, are NOT artillery, artillery is long distance shells that are fired on a designated area, tanks aim and shoot and artillery mainly uses large HE rounds, nobody is talking about it here in the comments so I'm just making you all aware.
The definition of artillery in the dictionary:
noun: large-calibre guns used in warfare on land.
So the video is in fact correct.
@@morerightrudder9742 It is not correct, as some guns shown are mounted on ships or were used or aircraft
@@mr.megalodonmegalodon758 yep but they were used in aid of warfare on land, so they do in fact count and are correct.
@@morerightrudder9742 there is no definition for how big a gun has to be to be classified as a "Large caliber gun", and the video shown 75 mm guns, which were not all that large and also 20mm gun that was used on the A-10, also artillery guns, as I said, mainly use HE rounds, however the 75mm, and 88mm did not prioritize HE use, and artillery guns fire with designated coordinates onto a specific point, usually with low velocity, tanks did not do that, well, at least the tank guns in this video did not
@@mr.megalodonmegalodon758 there are different classifications and different militaries evaluate things differently.

Gun
It's amazing to think they're just bullets like you'd find in any normal gun but way bigger.
Regarding the 75mm gun of the Sherman tank, one thing in my mind, is how about the next ammunition would be the 76mm upgun of some Sherman tanks?
Many people ask how come a mere 1mm addition in caliber size helped so much to Sherman tanks, from 75mm to 76mm. Not knowing that this is because of extra filling, that the ammunition of 76mm is longer than that of 75mm.
The distinction was also needed to be made so that soldiers weren't putting 76mm shells into a 75mm gun barrel. Since the shells were so similar in diameter.
EXCELLENT

Does anybody know why some of the larger projectiles are displayed with a brass shell as well as propellant charges, but some do not have the shell?
Probably for the sake of safety. Storing the shell (projectile, propellant powder and brass case together) is not a good idea on a ship - as one hit would ignite the whole store and rip the ship apart. That's why propellants and projectiles are stored apart and away from each other - deep within a ship with extensive protection - against such a hit. This is probably why the charge is shown separate, alongside the projectile. 👍

Very well done! It would have been nice to see the 380 mm sturmtiger shell.
What is always missed about artillery is the time it takes to re-load. A 12-14 inch railroad gun might take 30 minutes to re-load, while a naval turret mounting three 16 inch guns can get off three rounds in less than a minute. That is why heavy naval gunfire is so devastating and feared. Naval guns are virtual machine guns! Any idea how this video was made?

P1000 isn't real, and the other is just a 150mm or some other standard shell
