M242 Bushmaster Chain Gun Live Fire And Training
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- The MK-38 or M242 Bushmaster is a 25 mm (25×137mm) chain-driven autocannon.
It is an externally powered, chain-driven, single-barrel weapon which may be fired in semi-automatic, burst, or automatic modes. It is fed by a metallic link belt and has dual-feed capability. The term "chain gun" derives from the use of a roller chain that drives the bolt back and forth. The gun can destroy lightly armored vehicles and aerial targets (such as helicopters and slow-flying aircraft). It can also suppress enemy positions such as exposed troops, dug-in positions, and occupied built-up areas. The standard rate of fire is 200 rounds per minute. The weapon has an effective range of 3,000 metres (9,800 ft), depending on the type of ammunition used. With over 10,000 units sold worldwide, it is one of the most successful modern autocannons.

I had the privilege of gunning the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. That 25 Mike Mike is not to be messed with.
RIP to all the fish that died that day :(
0:04 The water actually deflected one of them? That's some crazy physics going on.
yeah ikr, it's called "ricochet"
That is crazy, didn't know water can deflect bullets.....
@@silverwindspirit surface tension. If you jump from a helicopter into the ocean, it will feel like hitting concrete
Bullshit it was probably the round hitting the previous round now darting at low speeds in the water. Water is not deflecting that mass at that speed.
Water is an incompressible fluid so yeah this is possible given the right angles.
GOD DAMN that 25mm shoots flat. I read that it sends em at 4600FPS. The whole autocannon concept is sexy as hell. Not many things besides a Tank and the hull of a ship can stop those rounds.
With that velocity it would be able to punch its length through armor or 137 mm. Very few ships these days have that much armor except for the most armored sections or support beams.
4:04 Now that's a bolt.
nanomage it’s decent...
Now that's a bolt carrier
That round would make one helluva hand held.
How can I go about owning one of these for home defense? What paperwork do I need
1. An engineering degree... or a very, very long youtube history full of how to be smart at stuff and do good at thinking
2. The invoices for various CNC fabrication machines and all sorts of other tools, a fully self sufficient/off grid underground bunker with room for said machines, about 3 tons of vacuum sealed/freeze dried food and water, and the many, many necessary materials required to manufacture one of these
3. A bank statement that says you are fucking loaded, mate.... or the letters from collection agencies saying they have taken you to court and will be docking your wages until the year 2724 or your debt has been repaid.
4. Divorce paperwork that you will eventually get around to signing after you emerge from your lair to find that your nice green grass lawn has been retaken by nature and is now a nicely wooded plot of land with the decaying remains of what used to be your house and the piles of zombie corpses that you stacked with your new M242 Bushmaster after the world descended into chaos from the magnetic poles flipping poles flipping, Yellowstone blowing, comets striking Russia's (but actually China's) level 69 virology "research" center, the subsequent zombie outbreak, and of course the mother fucking rapture with guest appearances from both God himself and, always the crowd favorite and God's siamese twin... Satan.
Alternatively, if you don't want to deal with the paperwork, just get yourself a good wrench, a big winch, a down wench, and a barge/tri-toon.
Pirates ? What pirates ?
first....ah damn i should be sleeping......Aiirsource Military NOTICE ME DAMN IT!
Wow that seems extremely powerful.
Very
@@Mikegastaldo I would love even more if the US Navy switch to the 30mm gun.
25x137mm incendiary at 200-500rpm depending on the motor spinnin it. And accurate as all hell out to about 2,000 meters. Effective to 3,000. It's a badass for sure
Pretty much nothing short of a tank can withstand it
My God !!! GET SOME!!!!
Imagine mounting an m242 on a rhib or just a speedboat in general
Just like clearing the paper from a jammed copier...it even has instructions on the back!
I’m surprised that the instructor, is teaching something that’s not in the manual. Then again, why is it not in the manual?
love me some chainguns
That's the gun that just shredded the Russian T90 tank in Ukraine!
Cheering for the bad guys eh
Is there a minigun version? This seems too bulky to carry in my back pocket.... ,)
Now this is a chain gun
If they had this during the Falklands the Argentine would have crapped themselves
Nice
Imagine being on the other side of that volley... jeez
They have to go through all this in the middle of a battle? The Persians are all over them while they still figuring this thing out..just gimme the dam 50 cal..
if all out nuclear war went down, these sailors would be the ones still fighting and engaging the enemy for years after most of us are dead
themanwithnoname no they were wont
The Elite you sound like a smart guy.
Die Ocean! Die!
You're a fool brotha!
@@arthursavage709 ha ha!
Please, Mk3 35mm airbust on pirates 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Waste of empty brass. Just flipping into the sea. Can they at least not save it for reuse. Seems a little wasteful.
The shells might actually trigger a coral reef. But if it didn't then the shell would eventually degrade into nothing.
They're steel cased
eyyyy
Bang on at hitting that Sea, take that water.
Did I just see a round bounce off the water at the beginning of the video?
Fishfingers232, yes, it’s very common.
Does anyone know if this bushmaster has the option for 2 feeders one for HE & 1 for AP rounds? It does on a Bradly's just curious if they do on ship weapon systems?
Good question, might be a different feeder than on the Bradley
That Ammo can has you name on it - Private
Can't see how they could clear a malfunction in actual combat conditions.
Depending on the malfunction, it could potentially put the gun out of action for quite a while. This gun is not made to jam but when it does, it could get nasty. We had an LAV-25, whose gun ended up jamming and it took the crew with the help of the master gunner about an hour and a half to clear it.
Bruh, why is it so hard to operate with all the c mode stuff and reset.
oh like a m240b, but on steroids and whiskey.
firerate is low oerlikon is best
Crossout Whirlwind
The poor fishes
dopping semi randomly empty case is suboptimal design
with bikes pedal the manual shooting wil be improved if ever a short in electrical power
tripodalt they come with a little crank for if power is lost.
@@slowpoke96Z28 sadly degradable function is one of the least showed despit the most important feature for trust
do you know if the cranked action is single shoot and how much its praticable
tripodalt it keeps firing until you stop cranking or run out of bullets.
@@slowpoke96Z28 guess a shoot for 6 crank turns or such
tripodalt idk. I’ve never had to use it. I’d imagine so since the crank is rather small and that’s a lot of mechanism for it to drive. It’s probably in some training material I have somewhere though. I’ll try to remember this post if I come across it.
damn that things a fucking cannon! god bless the navy
The ammo's too big,if the gun fired to our head,we're beheaded
AC72Whirlwind :0
That is a major defect.
don't waste all those cartridges please!
The MK-38 also known as the solution to Somali Piracy.
Dam
Brass waste. Or maybe steel waste ?
I agree. That could all have been reloaded quite easily. Pretty wasteful. I believe they will be steel
brass, btw this is training. i'm sure you would love to bitch about my training videos on the M109 howitzer.
+osama obama I am not bitching. It's just a observation. I support the military 100% in no matter how it does its work, so I'm not making out like they are doing anything wrong. I'm just saying that it would be very easy to catch that brass and reuse it. I mean the main guns on the front firing the larger caliber rounds have catch mats and roll cages for the empties, why is this any different. Like I said, just a observation :-)
Steel casing. Long story short, logistics and bureaucracy make it a net loss to attempt recovery in that setting.
osama obama how dare you say bitching thats the taxpayers' money
if you shot it daily without ear cover, that will gamage your ear for sure.
@04:00-00:12... don't miss those. X¬Wing Fighters Alrite ! !
Cosina
North korea has no chance
Cocky ass last words before the underestimated enemy takes you out!!
No chance? Kim yun Jun ding ding has nukes.what r u talking about?
Complicated and over designed. Can't do all that at night.
Hope we find a way to recycle those catridges... what a waste :(
The definition of government in Webster's is waste
Yeah lets shoot the water!!!!
The safety plunger? You mean the feed select solenoid? The feeder will not contain a live round if you do the unload correctly and cycle the round in the feeder while on safe. These are pretty shitty drills.
I suppose they don't want to torpedo a live round into the ocean though :/
I mean, these are squids, not grunts. What do u expect?
Still a BB gun compared to what many warships of old had
