H1MIN: APFSDS Shell

HISTORY IN A MINUTE: Some notes on what makes a modern armor piercing shell so powerful and how a discarding sabot works.

Please note: I have mispronounced SABOT it is pronounced SA-BOW. Thank you to viewers for pointing that out.

Further information on the topic:

[Alex-moyb]

Pronounced "say-bo" because the T is silent. Like how the last C is silent in Leclerc

Arrow levels
1: stick
2: sharp stick
3: fin-stabilized sharp stick
4: iron-tipped fin-stabilized sharp stick
5: armor-piercing fin-stabilized Discarding-sabot sharp metal stick
Amazing

we really just went back to lobbing arrows at each other

[HyperionGamingTOPKEK]

just wait till they make the ASDFFDASGFDFSASDF shell

Military Engineers 700 years ago: "Let's make this hardened arrow head that can pierce armour!"

Military Engineers today: "Let's make a hardened arrow head that can pierce armour!"

This is, quite possibly, the most deadly thumbtack that humanity has ever designed.

When you put a thumbtack on the end of your nerf dart:

In the future: Apbfsdfshshdsh, antimatter tipped shell

APFSDS: proof that, given enough size and speed, a bullet will solve any problem.


Seriously, if you think about it, APFSDS rounds are just rifle cartridges scaled up to the 120-millimeter range.


EDIT: I think some of you are misunderstanding my comment. The projectile is just a large bullet.

[johnbradshaw]

The APFSDS round is also fired from the 120mm L30 rifled gun on the British Challenger 2 MBT.

Another countermeasure is seen on the Turret front of the Leopard 2 since the A5 model. Armor spaced away from the main armor at a distance longer than the Darts fired will induce tumbling of the dart after it has fully cleared the spaced armor. Makes it hit the main armor sideways completely neutralizing it in best case scenarios but reduces Armor penetration significantly in general.

This guy: Makes an incredibly compact yet direct explanation of the subject, even animates it to a great extent.
Idiots in the comments: duh it be saboh no sabat

So much information in such a small amount of time. Yet i can process it quite easily. Thank you so much and props to you

[karls]

Too bad there aren't more videos. Nice, short and informative

[Ninjahat]

SHORT and PRECISE video. A HUGE thank you for this. Intros and too much talk not coming to the point immediately is too wide spread on YouTube. I hope many others will take inspiration in your style. LOVE IT!
