- www.patreon.com/vbbsmyt Vickers machine gun Mk I, first introduced in 1912 and remained in service until 1968. This was the principal machine gun used by the British Army during WW1. It fired a .303 round at a rate of 500 rounds per minute with a range of 4,500 yards. Vickers took the Maxim gun design and, by reversing the crank to break upwards and use of improved steel, made it smaller and much lighter. Careful design also made it very reliable. This animation shows the mechanism, and how easy it was to replace the barrel, which was worn out after about 12,000 rounds. For my other animations on UA-cam search for vbbsmyt.
Animation created using Cinema 4D. Music credits are shown at the end of the movie. - Наука та технологія
Despite it being a killing machine, when I watch animations such as this, I am filled with admiration for the people who designed it with paper and pencil, prototyped it and made it mass-produce-able. Their spatial awareness was remarkable. (solid works user)
Right!? It's fascinating.
I am amazed by your work. The Vickers was practically an artillery piece.
My father was a vickers machine gunner in second world war he was in 22nd battalion cheshires and he said to me many times that this weapon saved many lives he sadly died at 90 years young god bless you dad xx
While it’s not exactly a simple weapon or simple device really. It’s still beautiful.
🎵That gun was neglected,
No water connected,
No wonder it got overheated!🎵
Those US military video things from ww2
Fantastic work. One can watch over and over and gain new understanding each viewing. Thank you!
Brilliant. A joy to watch such good work. And for the first time I have genuinely understood how one of these weapons really works. I've seen a lot of your work now and I am increasingly impressed with every one.
This is what my grandfather used in the trenches of World War 1. He was part of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign and was hit in the shoulder with a ball bearing from a mortar. After recovering he managed to transfer to the RFC and out of the mud.
This was insanely amazing, thanks for this hard work
Thanks for the excellent visual description of the Vickers! It helped e understand what is going on when I first got mine and it has been helpful in explaining how it works to friends. There is definitely a lot going on inside of there! I can’t imagine designing and manufacturing something such as this with pencil and paper and totally manual machines! Very impressive!
Насколько всё продуманно, просто глаз радуется. Огромное уважение изобретателю данного пулемёта.😇😇😇столько движущихся частей, это целый организм.🤔
Excellent animated work!
There is something beautiful about these simple weapons.
Sincerely appreciate today’s “quick change barrels”...
By the time you change the barrel the enemy would already be behind you

Brilliant work. Thank you.
Omg that was a very complicated machine gun back then!!
Tenés q ser del primer mundo para subir semejante video! Muuuy bueno!!
This is excellent. Great job.
Specyfically nice animation
Great video
You're genius.
Awesome!!!
Thanks! really helpful
Awesome!
Well done.. Bravo!
You should be able to get one without an FAC because its not a gun, its a kettle.
I would certainly pay for a tea out of it
Noisiest kettle ever.
What an idea
That reciprocating handle must have broken so many fingers.
В России его модификация получила название "максим", под которым стало действительно легендарным оружием, прошедшим 1МВ, гражданскую войну, 2МВ.
А что там сделано, чтоб вода не просачивалась, где подвижный ствол взад вперёд ездит?
the One thing about this Gun and other British (and Commonwealth) Firearms is that the Bullets used were all of the same Caliber. The Lewis Gun, the SMLE, the Bren, and the Vickers. All .303.
that reciprocating charging handle probably broke many thumbs
That's why it is fired by pressing your 2 thumbs on the trigger at the center of the handles.
Not the way the army used to train.
Thumbs on the trigger button, index fingers wrapped over the top of the grips.
And it was the main MG - not its only one, though - of the British until 1958, if I'm not mistaken.
I wonder how many days of fighting could these 12000 bullets make her last, during any war where it was used.
Fantastic animation, showing clearly the operation of this MG. Do you have drawings of the parts shown, and/or is the 3D model available ?
Muy bueno el video saludos amigo Daniel
would love to watch it in 720p,and 1080p!
Imagine having to disassemble your entire gun to change a barrel
Baby, we've come a long way in machine gun design 😂
Considering this is still being used on both sides in Ukraine? No we really haven’t
Astonishing
Очень хорошо 👍,информативное видео
Many Many 👍!
The water cooling aspect is oddly fascinating to me
you forgot to mount your nozzle before, but its very good.
you should do the mars automatic pistol
would it be possible to do the schwarzlose?
Respect
What about water cooling system? How it works? Thanks for the video
0:40 that's how
So... not classified as a "quick change barrel" I guess. ; )
+gpgpgpgp1000 in 1914 it could be considered a quick change. The barrels could be swapped over by the gunners without any tools in a matter of minutes. No need to send the gun back for refurbishment. There were procedures for limiting the amount of cooling water that would be lost. OK, so you would not change a barrel during a mass attack; but a worn barrel would have to be changed if the machine gun section was providing indirect fire support when accuracy is essential. :-)
+vbbsmyt I guess it's all relative then. I was thinking of MG-42s and M-60s.
Thanks for the reply! I was just being a smart-ass and wasn't even expecting a reply.
+gpgpgpgp1000 MG42's and M60s are air cooled- thus their barrels need to br changed a lot more regularly.
A good watercooled vickers can literally continuously shoot for 7+ days without any malfunction
Impressive! I didn't realize the vast cooling advantage of the water jacket over the air cooled.
My only experience with MGs is the M-60 and a quick familiarization demo of the M2 .50 cal. (Army National Guard, '86 - '92)
Did you know that during testing of the Vickers they kept it continuously fed with ammo and let it fire continuously for 17 days non-stop. No malfunctions.😮
It was 6 days, not 17.
iirc it was not for testing the Vickers, but for dumping every .303 British that they had during their transition to 7.62 NATO
Очень интересно, спасибо! 👍
I have fired one of these weapons. School Cadet Corps, Queensland, 1961. Although it fires 500/minute, I gained the distinction of squeezing off a single shot. Preferred the gas-powered Bren.
Dang.
its such a simple machine gun its water cooled what other countries would think of a water cooled machine gun
Whatever happens, we have got
The Maxim gun, and they have not
super
What meccano of complicated moving parts
Can someone tell me what the second pull of the charging lever does when loading? Seems like it should eject a round that is already chambered but clearly i am missing something.
Peter. Load a fresh belt. While pulling the belt to the left to ensure the first cartridge in the belt is in the correct position, cock the gun and release. This moves the block to the rear, and on forward stroke, the sliding cartridge carrier on the front of the breech block rises to grip the first cartridge. When the gun is cocked again, the first cartridge is pulled from the belt and transferred to the chamber of the barrel - ready to fire. Rob
Thank you that makes sense.
So, the first pull do nothing on the rear stroke, only grip the first round on the forward stroke.
So thats how the british made hot water for their tea in ww2
WW1
How does the hammer or the system inside gets pushed backwards automatically?
Recoil. When the cartridge is fired, the recoil forces push the barrel and breech backwards.
From where it takes power to fire continuosly?
Recoil from the fired cartridge. When the cartridge discharges it pushes the bullet down the barrel and after a short delay (caused by that joint like a knee in the main part of the gun) to let the bullet clear the muzzle the recoil is used to propel the bolt and lock assembly backwards against a strong spring. The spring then pulls the bolt and lock forwards again to fire the next round.
The ammunition belt is also moved by recoil, “fingers” drag it through the gun and also remove the next cartridge from the belt and lower it into the right position for the bolt to load it into the chamber.
UA-cam channel c&rsenal have a long and detailed series on small arms of the First World War, including dismantling and firing a Vickers. A channel worth watching.
Could the barrel be changed with water in the jacket or had the water be be drained from the jacket ?
I suppose it would be possible to insert bungs to prevent water escaping when the barrel was withdrawn, but you would loose some water anyway and would be very awkward. Much simpler just to drain the water into the condensing can and refill after barrel change. Rob
Anyway, you won't change the barrel in the middle of a charge. But after that, you have to field strip the machine for thorough cleaning. So, you have enough time to drain the water from the jacket ad refill it back.
@@vbbsmyt Yes that is why they had a cork stopper on a chain mounted near the front of the water jacket. As you withdrew the barrel, the no.2 would quickly stuff the cork in the hole so water loss was minimal. The steam that was generated during firing was also reclaimed in the condenser can and the reclaimed water would be used to top up the jacket. I know because I had a Vickers of my own.
'
no wonder why need water in the bottle front of cannon gun
What about a dissasembly for this
Would you happen to know what the green coating on the tripod and jacket is?
Its paint.
I need 4 boxes of those to buy ok
the details might be good enough that if someone worked at a machine shop, they could make their own......., i wonder if anyones hiring????
I need 9000000000000 of those to buy ok
You forgot to show pushing the cork stopper in the front when pulling out the barrel. You just lost all your water on the ground.
oh dear! In animation-land that is not a problem. But is real life....
The Vickers Mk1 and the MG-08 are basically the same; turn the MG-08 receiver upside down and Wooola...it's a Vickers!
However, when it comes to performance/durability which one do you prefer; German engineering or British engineering?
They both were on Par with each other leading up to and during the Great War...so it is a tough decision
they made the Vickers receiver smaller just by inverting the toggle action. its cool
is the pink part in the lock an out of battery safety?
+Daniel Butka : The pink part is the main sear, which is depressed when the link arm is fully home (in battery), so the gun will fire immediately the breech is fully closed (providing the gunner's trigger is also pulled). So yes, it provides a vital safety feature by preventing the gun firing until in battery but its primary purpose is to fire the gun when loaded. I think we are looking at its action from 2 (equally correct) view points: I see its purpose as firing the gun when in battery, you might be seeing it as a mechanism for preventing the gun firing when not in battery.
+vbbsmyt thanks for the reply
Good tecnics on firearms for 1914
Ps
Wot the electrical charge its there for..?!?
Hello my friend - that is not an electrical cord or battery. It is a hose that is used to vent steam down into a container where the steam can condense back into water. The water was then occasionally poured back into the barrel shroud. This prevented someone from having to let the steam boil off into the air and have a constant, fresh supply of water.
Is the firerate demonstrated, the actual firerate of the Vickers?
Strike Zone: No, in the first sequence the Vickers animation shows a firing rate of about 180 rounds per minute (3 rounds per second). To get the proper firing rate of 500 rpm (8.3 rounds per second) would mean each cycle would be displayed in only 3 - 4 frames of the movie (at 30 frames a second), which I did not want to do back in 1915. However, if you look at my animation of the BAR, the audio track of rapid fire is much closer to 500 rounds a minute, so that will give you a better impression of the Vickers actual firing rate. Rob
What's the name of this animation software?
Cinema 4D
awesome but how automatically firing it is not clear
Recoil
Good job is amazing continúe great🤑🤑🤞✔️
a great HMG in Battlefield 1 and 5, however in 5 the Axis has no such thing as an HMG
A engearia e inprecionamte
This is more confusing then any modern gas operated machine gun
Which software is used
Cinema 4D
I don’t get how water can make it full auto. I don’t understand the full auto mechanics in any gun.
Water keeps the barrel cool so it can fire continuously without breaking the barrel
Satria Unpronouncable but how does it make the gun in full auto.
When a cartridge fires the bullet is expelled at great speed, causing recoil. The barrel and breech block are allowed to move backwards in the frame due to recoil. When the bullet has left the barrel and gas pressures have reduced, it is safe to unlock the breech from the barrel. The breech block, being lighted than the heavy barrel flies backwards, tripping the mechanisms for extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge, withdrawing a fresh cartridge and cocking the hammer. As the breech block moves to the rear it works against a strong spring. If the trigger is released, the breech is held back, but if in fully auto and the trigger is still pulled, the spring drives the breech forward, and in doing so moves the fresh cartridge into the barrel. When the breech is fully closed and locked, a sear is released that allows the hammer to fall and explode the cartridge, and so the cycle is repeated 7 - 8 times a second. At this firing rate the barrel will soon get red hot, so it is immersed in a water jacket, and the heat is removed by boiling it off as steam.
vbbsmyt thanks
This is so complicated.
Tell me about that music.
Raj. The music is credited at the end of the animation. In this case it is 'Independence' - sold as royalty free music by Stock Music Store, now probabaly called SidSonic.com.
Vickers lore
I like me some Dakka
All those moving parts!? That looks over engineered and complicated to fix if and when it breaks.
thats the thing. it never broke. a vickers fired 5 million rounds over the course of seven days continuously (you did not misread that) and it was good to go afterwards
I need 300000 of those to buy ok

Not so, British. The German version of the Maxim is the MG08. Please see my animation.

It's not safe to move the camera in front of the muzzle. You could injure a viewer.
