If you want to find out more about the Anti Tank rifle, have a look at the Forgotten Weapons channel. Ian, the host has two videos about the Boys anti-tank rifle which the British used in WW2. Also he has videos of others and about WW1 era rifles.
he has videos on several infact 👍
The anti Tank rifle portrayed around 2:50 is a British Boyes anti-tank rifle, caliber .55 inches, Disney made a series of training films about those that you might want to check out.
Boys*
750-1000 Grn powder bullet, Steel or tungsten core round.
@@babalonkie LOL There's actually quite a bit of debate between the two nomenclatures within gun nerd circles ...
@@robertsmith4681 I know i know... You will also find even more spellings too, There are even rounds that top 1000 GRN. There are varying specifics.
One thing is for sure... it was a beast that could pen any early WW2 tank and makes the Barrett .50 look like a child.
@@babalonkie Having seen both IRL ... yes ...
Your comments about the Javelin being "light-weight" reminds me of the stories Andy Stumpf told on his podcasts. He'd carry both a Javelin and his .300 WinMag IN CONJUNCTION WITH his M4 and basic load. He really just wanted to reach out and touch people during his patrols in Afghanistan.
The jump in technology from the end of WW2 and it's early days of jet engines/tanks etc to a few decades later stealth tech,amour, missiles,night vision it's such a dramatic jump it really is amazing and it makes you wonder just exactly what has or is in R and D with the ultimate aim to be the most powerful super power,it's interesting but completely frightening with hypersonic nuclear weapons
Drones and Lazer as a next stage in conventional warfare are already incorporated and I imagine will turn more and more advanced to take a bigger role
@@NoNeedNoGreed I think the use of laser and the importance of controlling space and the satellites which we rely so heavily, not just the public but the eyes and ears of the military also the need to track snd destroy if possible Hypersonic nuclear weapons that are a frightening thought
Thanks for reacting to this. It was interesting to me because I was in a reserves Royal Artillery air defence regiment 30 years ago now (Oh Jeez). I was trained on the javelins older big brother, the Blowpipe. Which almost the same, except the blowpipe was a guided weapon, controlled by a little thumb joystick, and although was anti-aircraft, could be used on tanks. The cool thing with the blowpipe was it could either be a single shot off the shoulder like the Javelin or from a tripod as a Three shot weapon.
Like how NLAW keeps appearing in this video
It's $80,000 per missile 10 years ago (Before inflation)... not including the tube launcher and computer/sight.
It's one of the several reasons UK army uses Javelins AND NLAWS...
2:35 .55 Boys (14 mm). Lots of Finnish 20 mm Lahti AT rifles in the US, shouldn't be too hard to get to shoot with one.
12:00 NLAW, not Javelin.
That 20mm Lahti AT Rifle is awsome , I have a salpalinja museum about 25miles from my summer cabin, they have one of those on display and you can touch it Lol, it's a cool gun 😎
Great video! I learned a ton about the Javelin~
"I expected it to be a little bit thicker" Giggity...
You’re content is so interesting! Much support from a Belgian 15 year old 🤙
cheers brother!
This would a great vid thanks
That gun at the beginning is the Boys Anti-Tank Rifle. Forgotten Weapons did a range test of it if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/0pK4JDFLazs/v-deo.html
This was a cool video. I remember from army that we all got the basics though to us, but I never fired one in our live ammo training. Most of us got to use LAV's since they were much cheaper option. An d only 1 or 2 of this kind of javelins were shot in the whole time I was in army training. But I get it if they cost around 80k US dollars that those were saved more for wartime use. Also hope you do check out that battle 9f Britain episode from this channel. It looked very nice
I think forgotten weapons has a few videos on anti tank rifles.
Theo, your content just gets more interesting. That made me laugh, coming from a military guy, "My exposure to the Javelin 4 came from Call of Duty' 😂
Do they still have them? Anti tank rifles. I imagine it would have a massive caliber and armour piercing.
I'd hate to be a Tanker. I'd feel so trapped and claustrophobic. Tough job
It is amazing how the Javelins steer themselves.
We don't know if Russia are losing. But if you have a military that are recruited by the state as opposed to an army that are fighting for their loved ones and home. I know who I'd put my money on.
in regards to Anti tank rifles , there are no modern anti tank rifles as modern tanks have way to thick armor to be penetrated by a rifle round, however there are Anti material rifles that can penetrate low level armor at very long distances used to hit sensitive equipment on tanks like the sights or electronics. but these are mostly used on lighter vehicles and vulnerable areas of armored systems to save AT-missiles for heavy vehicles.
One example is the Barret M82 (often just called Barret 50 in games) firing a .50 BMG (12.7×99mm NATO)
The Ukrainians use a rifle called the Snipex Alligator firing a 14.5x114mm round capable of penetrating 1cm (10mm) RHA at 2km or 3cm (30mm) at roughly 100m. penetration may vary based on angle and specific ammo variant
just for those wondering a .50BMG is sometimes described as a peashooter compared with the 14.5x114mm.
@@marcrasm Thanks man 😊
@@marcrasm That's why the Norwegians invented the Raufoss .50, to get the punch of a 20 mm. Does it reach that, depends I guess. At the time it might have. Still kicks ass but would love to see something like that for the Snipex.
In have been following that guys channel for years!
It seems like the days of feeling "pretty safe" in a tank are coming to an end. Not that I'd want to be active in any position in a modern war, but being in a large, inviting target like a tank, seems freighting now. I don't think we are too far from seeing drone tanks in battle.
It's lightweight compared to other Anti-Tank weapons. It's the same as the Minigun, the minigun is to big to be carried by a person but it is considerably smaller than it's counterparts.
its all about relative size to other platforms, not humans
The tank museum have a series on anti tank weapon's including the at rifle.
You lost it because you just know someone was going to say"thats what she said" hahaha
hahaha
"they should hire youtubers to do training videos" ... you just hit the sweet spot of conscription.. we just .. conscript them. =D
so next time you visit finland, go to parola tank museum. they have all that ww2 stuff and some of the modern tanks.
the channel Forgotten Weapons has entire playlist of Antitank Rifles if your interested in them
Forgotten Weapons got a good video about the Finnish WW2 AT gun Lahti L39 20mm
Lahti-L39 anti tank rifle from Finland. They should have those in Texas in that Drive Tanks site. No one has taken hint and went there and shot one when i have tried to tell them through youtube. Or maybe drive tanks only has them only for show and not for use.
Some of the fotage show the NLAW a similar system but smaller and lighter developed by Saab Bofors Dynamics with help from Thales Air Defence
Ian on forgotten weapean fires a few anti-tank rifles.
2:41 we have these in BFV :)
Forgotten Weapons for anything small arms.
Chieftain for armor.
Drachinafel for ships.
And there's kind of a bunch for aviation.
Also I was 25th when it was still a light Division. Our jav gunners had to carry them everywhere we did. Including movements to day light. We learned to strap them to a skedco and drag them.
I'd endorse that, Drachinfels is the go to guy for ⛵ boats , his doc about different air craft carrier doctrines, is awesome 🤠😃
2:30 British anti-tank rifle Boys .55 in. Check out Finnish anti-tank rifle called Lahti L-39, it's a 20mm rifle. :)
forgotten weapons woudl probably be the person to contact for info on those AT rifles.
Le top du top
The NLAW is also a great tool though less complex and having a significantly shorter range of just 600-800 metres.
Search "Forgotten Weapons anti-tank rifle" and you'll find those rifles and more in their class. It is an amazing channel with proper historical and practical information.
IM British so the nlaws as been mainly on our news because it works in a similar way to the Javlin, but British and Swedish design with alot of Japanese input ,but cheaper, But javelin definitely inbedded in the British Army its got a longer Range but nlaws we call BANGY Mc BANG FACE To wind the Russians up .A competition in Britain was announced for the public to name the newly built Antarctic Research vessel. Being British public, BOATY Mc BOATFACE WON . .obviously they didn't go with it .
Sorry mate but who ever started the bangy mc bang face needs a stern word lol
@@StewartEvans52 Well I did actually think it summed it Quite well 😄. They probably it was a Nato Desenagation.But a Russian Tank goes bang ,when hit .
I was surprised to learn that the Javelin is single use only. Does that mean that
the launch tube is just thrown away?
Most likely. A lot of man-portable Anti-Tank weapons are single use only because the materials strong enough to resist multiple missile launches without deformation are heavy which limits how big of a missile you can have.
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing.
Anyone impressed by the Javelin has never seen the AGM-114 Hellfire.
Created by a joint venture from the British/Sweden.
the Boy's anti tank rifle was a .50cal but then upgraded to a .55 cal
12 mins in were al N-Laws
The shaped charge was a German invention during WW2 first used in their Panzerfaust antitank weapons.
The javelin is a very good weapon, but it's very expensive to use against other targets besides tanks, like bunkers. The required cooling of the sensor that takes about six seconds to activate the missile may be old technology by now. The Israelis changed their sensors to non cooled IR on their latest versions if the Spike family missiles, so this is something the US needs to examine. One needs to wander how an AI pattern recognition software would react to camouflaged targets, specially if they use the Swedish Barracuda multispectral camouflage covers. Also there seem to be a problem in most heat seeking AT missiles, in very hot areas, were the ground gets very hot and confuses the missile seekers. Because of this the Israeli Spike missiles have dual guidance with both visual and IR optics. Non the less the Javelin with it's 800mm RHS penetration and the selection of straight or top attack modes is a very good system against tanks.
ua-cam.com/video/viTBdqNwDNo/v-deo.html
The invention itself is way older, like from the 18th century. Still German though.
he mentioned poland falling in a month, yes they didn't have enough anti tank capability but if they had sufficient numbers of things to deal with tanks the result would have been the same. The real reasons why poland fell is they were just overwhelmed from two fronts.
Pretty sure when he says "light weight" its less referencing how heavy it is for 1 guy to carry and more vs the weight of alternative systems that require vehicle mounting or assembly on site (like the TOW2 or ADATS)
Sort of how a M2 browning is a heavy machine gun by the infantry perspective but if you were talking about aircraft mounted weapons it would be comically small.
I would've said "man portable" rather than "lightweight".
Man portable is a little more specific to "can be lugged around and used by 1 dude unassisted".
@@DJWeapon8 man portable is not commonly used outside of militaries. Real engineering is more catered to the general public.
Also the TOW system is considered man portable, so are M2 browning's but are almost never referred to as "light weight" systems. There are also a lot of man portable systems that are not operated by 1 person unassisted (or not supposed to be) most infantry anti tank weapons are designed with a 2 man crew, leading to the term "crew served" even GPMG's like the FN MAG or PKP are supposed to be operated by 2 people even tho 1 person can haul those monstrosities around.
To Ukraine the Javelin now represents hope and the HIMARS represents the rage
The NLAW is often overlooked compared to the Jav; it can actually bust a huge hole in the T-80 MBT, blow it to kingdom come from the inside not only killing the entire crew but literally leaving nothing but the very floor frame of the tank in one piece
The Javelin's topside mode makes the missile strike tanks with such raw power that it smashes vehicles apart into the ground killing everybody in it and annihilating the middle part of the tank frame
I've also found it fascinating that these amazing weapons can cause the tank's munition store (wrapped around the inside of the turret) to explode, tossing the turrets many meters away. It was so strange to see so many 'beheaded' tanks in the news footage, till I learnt the reason.
@@zybch The result of the west's 50+ years of obsession with killing Russian tanks effectively and of a bad design choice by the soviets
The Ukrainian built Stugna is more commonly used then the American Javelin or British MLAW. The main advantage of the Stugna is the operator can be up to 55 meters away from the launch platform therefore not giving away the operator's location to the enemy. With the Javelin and MLAW the enemy just has to fire at the giant cloud of smoke these weapons give off - not so with the *Ukrainian* built Stugna!
🥇
Would be sweet if you broke down ww2 weapons I've seen a few mad ones
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 react to the Robin Hood Policemen of Guernsey 🇬🇬 get these men pardoned
anti tank rifles are 20mm
Check out the maddest Lahti L-39 test at ua-cam.com/video/I1aNddjb15g/v-deo.html around 2:30. It makes an insane hole
Dude that's only fifty lbs. I'm not a soldier but when I worked construction lifting and moving 50 lbs I did that shit all day without a problem. So yeah that's lightweight for sure.
the russian way is to make tanks cheaper than a single javalin missile, at some point the javalin missiles run out.
fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahti_L-39 Finnish anti tank rifle Lahti L-39 was insane.
React to Finnish defence forces new video aim and approach featuring us marines
Germans used anti-tank mines with shaped charges in WW2.
Yo man I’m in your discord my name was slow we spoke a bit but I got kicked for absolutely no reason could you find out what happened
Boys Antitank was .55 or 14mm
The genius part about the CLU is that the javelin is essentially a glorified weight without it. You can be in a room full of javelin missiles and they would all be useless without the CLU. What that means, and I've noticed Ukrainian units doing it, is that when a position is about to be overrun, all you need to withdraw with or destroy is the CLU. Any captured missiles can't be used against you without that, they're worthless.
Just trying to find the plgr battery is hard enough. One guy that came back was talking about the Ukrainians making special battery packs with adapters.
A modern western military you wouldn't expect infantry to engage tanks at all - you'd expect all the tanks to be completely overwhelmed long before infantry are in play, from above, with weapon systems that are far too large for the job; even if Russia's reactive armour was even vaguely effective the sorts of explosions you'd expect to see would easily defeat it. This is why most countries aren't too worried about giving up their javelins or TLAMs or whatever, they're outmoded, and have been for a long time (arguably since the first Gulf War) and it's getting worse for armour all the time. Now the US is giving Ukraine HARM this might be the next step (it's pretty clear the intent is to allow Ukrainian aviation to operate with impunity).

@@LilyKittyCatto don't support the Khazarians, Lily, they hate everyone, re, the Goy are all beasts 👹🇷🇺
Javelin $80k versus tank $1.2m to $5m!
Why do armies still use tanks?
Like said in the video, it's a vital tool. A tank offers a highly mobile, extremely resilient, both in terms of being able to take on a lot of damage (requiring specialized weapons to even really threaten) and being able to keep in the fight for long time since they also carry a lot ammo both for the cannon and often overlooked machine guns, platform that can easily deliver massive direct firepower at rapid speed.
However they are not invincible, nothing is. They require air cover, infantry, artillery and logistics to prosper. Combined arms is the synergy of different weapon systems where they each cover for each others weaknesses with their own strengths, leading to a massively stronger whole. However combined arms is very difficult to do well. And Russia has been doing a particularly lousy job at it. Hell we still, after 6 months, get videos of lone tanks just wandering in the fields.
Javelin is the premier anti-armour weapon, however STUGNA-P and NLAW have more recorded-kills within Ukraine. This may be explained by STUGNA-P having an easy-to-record targeting screen, and UK sennding many more NLAW's than US/UK/others sent Javelins. All three helped to obliterate Russia's 3-day invasion plan. Zelensky is the No1 reason Ukraine will triumph. He stood firm when many other Leaders would have run.
i doubt even the Abraham's or challenger or leopard tanks could fair well against the javelin, so russian tanks will stand no chance against it. and the videos ive seen of russian tanks in ukraine are driving through a small village or town with hardly any room to move. so they will be sitting ducks for this anti tank weapon.
Sorry bro but this video is no more than a propaganda video!
UKRAINE, and information for CNN, Sorry but you not facts check
What do you mean
Learn to speak English first
In England we used to train once a week on the Javelin when we were 12-13 years old...Put hairs on your chest! We also got up to speed with the Shot putt and the Discus too. Though these training sessions often got cancelled if it was raining so we had to do cross country running instead.
for the algorithm
Yeah. I remember the fight to get to the front of the line to get the one that wasn't bent
@@ryklatortuga4146 😄 nice one mate
@@ryklatortuga4146 haha thanks
@@ashscott6068 it's perfectly fine if your javelin is a little bent. Or maybe not even quite as long as the others
