  • This gun is a beast! As you can see the muzzle blast is incredible. The WWII German PAK (PanzerAbwehrKanone) 40 was developed in early WWII but didn't see widespread production until about 1941. The gun was often used by allied forces whenever they would over run German positions which shows the effectiveness of the gun.
    This gun was resurrected from an art museum where the owner had painted it pink! It was restored to working order and the federal paperwork required to build and possess this gun was obtained. It is not legal for an ordinary citizen to have a working field piece like this.

      Als ich zum ersten mal schräg hinter einem feuernden Leo stand, da fielen mir aber alle Sünden ein, und das Rohr hat keine Mündungsbremse, die das Gas nach schräg hinten leitet. Meine Güte, das war ein Wumm!
      Ich will diese Amerikaner nicht in Schutz nehmen.
      Hier haben wir den Fall, daß nur die Treibladung verschossen wurde, ohne Geschoß. Das heißt die mit mehr als Schall-
      geschwindigkeit austretenden Gase tragen
      noch immer die Energie mit sich, die normalerweise zum Beschleunigen der
      Granate verbraucht worden wäre.

    • @peterpeterson4800
      @peterpeterson4800 4 роки тому +6

      The Maus and the Schwerer Gustav were a huge waste of resources. Several smaller pieces of artillery would have been more effective. The bore of the Gustav eroded so quickly from firing, that it couldn't hope to hit anything after a few shots. It needed 4500 men for contruction and guarding etc. when it was deployed.
      And the Maus was also a waste of resources. Only a big target for arial bombardement or artillery. So slow that it could be easily flanked. So heavy that it would get bogged down in rough terrain and not able to cross most bridges. It also needed huge amounts of fuel.
      I once heared it was planned to be used on the defense in tandem with huge bunkers. It would drive out of the bunker to fire, and when enemy planes arrived, it would retreat into cover. In that situation, it would actually work, kinda like a more flexible bunker.
      Many of the heavy tanks that the Germans actually deployed already had problems with being too heavy, too slow. too fuel hungry, and too unreliable. Transmissions or engines would break because of the large forces required to move such a heavy vehicle. Many designs were too complicated and ahead of their time. Immature designs were rushed into service. Many designs were a nightmare for maintenance.
      The russians recognized that tanks don't survive that long anyway, due to combat losses. They accepted that parts would eventually break, and just made it so that repairs could be made easily. The also regonized that it's better to deploy greater numbers of weaker designs. Germany had to choose the route of technical superiority, because they would never have the numbers to match the Sovierts or the US, but they overdid it, and ended up with behemoths that were plagued with technical problems.
      Don't get me wrong, I love the German designs, too, but I really prefer stuff like the Panther or Jagdpanther. I think they hit the sweet spot with those and should have stuck with them. Not built things like the Tiger II or the Ferdinand, not to mention the research spendings on things like the Maus or other projects that luckily didn't get past the blueprint stage like the E100 series.
      The Germans really had superior armor and firepower, but the vehicles were too slow to be where they need to be at the right time, and not numerous enough to have an impact on the war as a whole. Some of the late war models had more losses due to running out of fuel or ammo, or due to mechanical breakdowns than due to enemy fire. But I really think that they would have done better with being a bit less armored, but faster and lighter. A smaller target. Less fuel use. Higher numbers.

      It was just that the Sherman was heavily superior heck it even out produce the T-34 and guess what in lend lease the Soviets have been given Sherman tanks. I mean the Sherman is superior in every way being the jack of all trades which is a good thing as you don't need to develop a new tank to do a certain task. I mean the Sherman can cross rivers, use rocket artillery or become a artillery platform. It can be a multi troop transport. And last of all it is decent at engaging other tanks and heavily effective killing infantry. And the Panzer IV is also crap I mean the Germans should've slapped a 75mm on the Panzer III.
      Also guess what the slope is a joke as Hesh would make mince meat out of a T-34

    • @peterson7082
      @peterson7082 8 років тому +25

      +Ayano-chan The M4 models had anywhere between 51-63mm of armor at 60 degrees or 47 degrees. Giving the Sherman an effective frontal thickness of either 90mm or 97mm. As for the M4A3E2 the frontal armor was 102mm sloped at 47 degrees = 139mm effective thickness. This gun would wish to penetrate that thing
      This gun at 250m could penetrate about 120mm.
      Also no... The Kwk 40 on the Pzkpfw IV was not the Pak 40, similar in design, but much lower velocity and different ammunition.
      Compared to the relatively common 76mm armed Shermans (not fireflies), the Pzkpfw IV was quite inferior.

    • @Ophiv2

      7.5cm Kwk 40/48 , that was used on for example at Pz.IV.H and that 75 had velocity of 920, so if u can see, high velocity, and you are saying that gun couldn't penetrate Shermans. No sense! M4A3E3 were designed for fight's with Tiger's/Panthers , tho those two , had much superior gun's right?

    • @peterson7082
      @peterson7082 8 років тому +10

      Ayano-chan The M4A3E2 wasn't designed to fight tanks at all, it was purely a field kit to a M4A3 (dry) as a convoy/spearhead tank. However there are many cases in history, such as the Battle of the Bulge, Remagen, and Northern Italy where the Panthers and Pzkpfw IVs simply bounced off of them. Same with countless Shermans also field modded with 1" (25.4mm) thick armor kits. Some were reported to have added 3x to a M4A3 (76)W VVSS = about 5.5" (14cm) of armor.
      At typical combat ranges, the Pzkpfw IV and M4 could penetrate each other's front with whatever gun.
      The Kwk 40 with its common Pzgr.39 APCBC round, had a muzzle velocity of 790m/s, the 76mm with the AP M79 and APC M62 had 792m/s which were one of the more common 76mm shells. The rare HVAP round had a muzzle velocity of 1,036m/s.
