Gav & Dan are at a tank range using the latest and greatest in projectile tracking technology. Combined with the Phantom cameras, they get some absolutely surreal looking footage.

    "Thankfully, there's nothing out there". Camper: "Where'd my tent go?"

    War Thunder Players: "We shall now start layering our tanks in watermelons to deflect the enemies shells."

    I love Dan's reaction at 14:22 he's genuinely speechless but you can clearly see what he's thinking. "Duuude, did you see that? That thing went off course".

    So glad I was warned about the product placement here. Otherwise I think I may have been unduly influenced into buying a Sherman tank over its competitors! This way, I can keep my tank research neutral, looking only at the specs of each tank rather than relying on the emotional attachment this video may have produced

    Ways to change your hairstyle/haircut: 1. Combing 2. Using hair gel/wax 3. Firing a tank
  • @pando9201
    they've come a long way, from slapping each other in the face to firing a tank
  • I'm a VFX artist and I find your channel most helpful when looking for reference on every other project. Thank you very much for making my job easier
  • @heikkiaho6605
    you can calculate the amount of kinetic energy from the intensity of dan's gasps
  • @Z4gle
    Seeing the visible shockwave is so intense. Ballistics are amazing
  • @Bigtexatx11
    That shell tracking is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
  • The line "Today, we're in Uvalde" while riding a tank hits a little different now.

    I was 16 yrs old and deer hunting with my father. It was raining and it was almost ready to snow. The drops of rain were like a fine mist. A nice buck stepped out an I fired first followed by dad's shot. I swear it was like traced from the tip of the barrel to impact. Each drop of rain exploded as the bullet traveled through the air. It was awesome! Thought I would share cause that was 50 yrs ago.

    An acute angled ricochet of a normal bullet is scary. An acute angled ricochet of an artillery round is...."scary beyond all reason".

    Dan's laugh after he fired that massive 152MM is pure gold lol, you know he's just thinking "yeah i done that"
  • @BL00DYME55
    Those mirror tracking shots were incredible. I realise it's just software doing its thing, but the concept of turning that mirror so quickly yet with such precision is blowing my mind. The entire thing happens in a fraction of a second and it managed to perfectly track the round. 🤯

    The speed of sound there is about 343 meters/second = 1125 feet/sec. At 2000 to 2500 feet/sec, the shell was going about Mach 2, twice the speed of sound. This results in a significant sonic boom wave. And the light going through that wave is refracted by the different densities of the air in the different parts of the shock wave. Fun, thanks.

    "Thankfully, there's nothing out there." Meanwhile, on the next episode of Forgotten Weapons... "Hey guys, thanks for tuning in for another episode of Forgotten Weapons, I'm Ian McCollum and today we're taKING ENEMY FIRE! INTO THE TRENCHES LADS!"
  • @SamLee-tm6jn
    Easily THE BEST footage of a shockwave I have ever seen. HANDS DOWN.
