3Dprinted 20mm APDS (and APFSDS)

[@awfulwaffle53]

Honestly, this is one of the most creative channels I’ve ever come across, I’ve been subscribed since your last video and I’m happy to see you posting more!

[@TheLurker-XYZ]

This is a great example of how tank shells work. I also wish we could print this ourselves.

[@kirbyis4ever]

You can, so long as you have a 3D printer, modeling knowledge, and the resolve to see it to the end.

[@dpdfpdffgp]

atf would like to have a word, sir

[@suit1337]

this is a great example how tank ammuniton not works ;) it is a nice video, but whatever this is, modern kinetic tank ammunition are mostly long rod penetrators rounds like this are (somewhat) used in auto cannons nowadays, but they don't use a monolithic projectile anymore, they use frangible projectiles or timed fuzes with lots of subprojectiles

[@nodeldev]

He didnt link it himself but flasutie have a thingiverse account where he uploaded the apfsds.

[@LouNight-nx9ow]

Link ? ​@@nodeldev

[@Rullstolsboken]

That apfsds looked like a apcrfsds, like a fin stabilized apcr round with how the steel rod behaved, very cool video

[@potatogrease2420]

had to look up what an apcr is, turns out it’s usually called an HVAP in the states. learned something new today

[@PandaMan-xy1he]

@@potatogrease2420 HVAP is a type of APCR, but very different from German and Soviet APCRs. It used a much heavier, larger core, giving it much improved performance.

[@DaveMS_]

I'm not informed enough for this.... bless you?

[@kaptenhans8826]

This video illustrates how ammunition works directly in miniature form that we can learn from. I like your project, bro

[@QwerYT4819]

Watching the evolution of your videos has been great. I think your channel is unique in the content it produces. Keep doing it and you might strike gold!

[@cameron5802]

I've loved this project you've embarked on, it's certainly entertaining and I look forward to more testing of all sorts of projectiles you can come up with. I'd love to see an attempt at more fin stabilized darts. EDIT: I made my comment a second too soon LOL, I was at 2:00 when I paused. It's genuinely remarkable you managed to get it to function, and it's disturbingly accurate to simulations (I have to wonder if you also dabble in doing that as a form of research for your projectile iterations.) Even down to the darts sabot petals impacting on the target, something you often see in real-world testing.

[@utzius8003]

This stuff is so cool. You're one of my favourite channels on KZbin right now.

[@K25_the_first]

i think what's stopping the penetration is the distance, the sabot doesn't have time to fully release the projectile before it hits but this is so damn cool

[@rohan-jl]

thanks for the idea of making a steel core, i was also trying to find a way to make some sort of metal version of my own design. im gonna try this out soon

[@obeyobay9146]

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen this year

[@null5696]

ive made 3d printed apfsds that works with my 2" spud gun about 2 years ago. so far its adapted to contain a steel core, and is extremely destructive

[@NCVluminati]

I've been binging all of your videos, and it has inspired me, thankyou

[@kovalenkoyegor9796]

I learned something useful from you. Thank you for that

[@unfinitypae1086]

One of my favorite youtubers to watch, always super hype when a vid comes out

[@templarsjustice4956]

My favorite channel rn

[@nicolaiby1846]

Love how these are coming along mate.

[@astridisaacs8129]

if war thunder players had a 3d printer:

[@scramjet7466]

The idea of apfsds is to use a thin dart made of dense material to puncture armour. You just made a smaller projectile with same density ie it carries less momentum now (probably)

[@CertifiedIndustryProfessional]

Maybe try gradual rifling - going from a standstill straight to 1:10 is probably putting noticeable torque on your rifling which is what causes it come out of position. No need to abandon 1:10 but maybe ramp it up from 1:3?

[@Galladir]

Criminally underrated

[@dziwnypanzestreama7769]

Im so glad i found this

[@HuskyMachining]

what a coincidence. I'm also building some APFSDS rounds for my scale model tanks gun. Mine will be powered by air though at about 1,000psi

[@kahrislorenzoniles9227]

this guy just created the Weapon of -mass destruction- fun

[@That_Birdy]

you should add some heavy material to the outside of the slugs so that they have a higher inertial mass to make the spin stabilization better.

[@CoincidenceTheorist]

Cool stand. Rack. Mount assembly.

[@Karza_357]

Sectional density is a funny thing.

[@АндрейШмырев-ж3з]

Снаряды с готовыми выступами...это тупиковая ветвь развития оружия...Кто только этим не занимался...все зря!!🧐

[@carlosfelipezeirin4180]

Tanks for Doing my recuest!

[@jonathanm180]

120 APFSDS uses nylon bands to reduce the rotation of the projectile, and that's in a smooth bore barrel.

[@Detony_264]

i think the reason why the apds did the same as the AP is because of the loss in mass, and why the APFSDS did so well, it had much more mass than both AP and APDS

[@ImR97-uj4yy]

Its diameter is very small and its lenght is huge. Thats why. Of course, the speed was maybe faster too.

[@goldengamer6911]

This is awesome

[@emperorofwarusthundus]

I love this chanel its sooo satisfying

[@victorgalvez927]

very good channel!!! keep the hard work!!!

[@cotnego4941]

i love your vids make more you dont get vievs you deserve your video qualyty is best the fact you show the sumulation of 3D printer its cool

[@Kiwoeoe]

the APDS looked bad but the APFSDS my man you nailed it, you had to archive better results also add a steel core to the APDS bcs what you fired there was simply a slug with less mass

[@ovhgermany9958]

you feed my interests

[@markdombrovan8849]

What the hell are you planning? Definitely on a watch list

[@l.a.wright6912]

btw just so you know you cant just use the angle to get the comparative thickness for the plate you are penetrating as deflection causes the penetrating projectile to follow a exponential curve through the plate even on a penetrating shot. this is a common but very dangerous missconception in balistics

[@indyjons321]

That APFSDS was AWESOME to watch! Can't wait for more! What would happen if you used a smooth bore?

[@unfortunatereplica8442]

This is sick

[@calicobroadcasting5933]

Love these videos

[@Jonz0000]

Awesome video!

[@kienngo4601]

Bro, excellent work. XD

[@wildcard_23]

Nice work!!

[@LordRidler]

Great, now make a functioning Heat or Hesh round xD

[@JPkerVideo]

I think that at real velocities/scale the armor does kind of act similar like that silly putty thingy... this video is too satisfying...

[@AviationEditzzYT]

Quiet kid in arts and crafts:

[@tanish28107]

Love your videos Keep it up !

[@damienamory5857]

I want to go and build a working RC scale MBT that shoots actual APFSDS with you😂

[@florky_01]

it do be nailin tho

[@Sharp.Chedder.Cheeze]

Could we have the 3D print files or whatever its called?

[@stapletaser7428]

0:52 Your mother! [French laugh]

[@HeeroYuy180]

more, more, more, Nice Video Ty!

[@gouthamkrishnapm3399]

Certified War Thunder player

[@我喜欢饺子]

This is cool

[@Fat_Ninjah]

will you do internal armour geometries like chobrams?

[@Arkhimov]

Hell yeah

[@radekgames7584]

welp if you want to APDS and APFSDS work corecktly you need a smooth bored barell wich you can see on modern tank

[@Arash_Leopard]

now create a composite armour to test fire on.

[@Arash_Leopard]

i would have asked for ERA but its not like you could have metal plates that eject once hit let alone actual mini and less lethal version of ERA

[@abdullahiaderinto5153]

Dude 3d printed APFSDS (Armor piercing fin stabilized discarding sabot)

[@SynthRockViking]

I was like"how tf did you machine the barrel Then I saw the channel name

[@FifiToJaITylkoJa]

Waiting for homemade Rheinmetall 120mm and apfsds with tungsten core

[@crungus99]

try baking some clay in plates to simulate ceramic armor plates

[@RobinTheBot]

I keep forgetting these videos aren't just memes like the rest....

[@benitomussolini1361]

The thing with APDS OR APFSDS is there should be no spin, the may tumbling especially without the fine, though saying that I realize this applies to rod like projectiles and you are using more bullet shaped slugs, which is benefitted by spin, I think I'm gonna be quiet now

[@Givesamanhope]

We need the files

[@wafflegalaxy]

Can we get links to each version?

[@Diesr]

Please 🙏

[@Yahs232]

What do u use to launch em

[@Человексосложнымником]

He usually uses sleeves with HHO gas.

[@marckronemeyer8001]

Bro you will supply Your land with the fastest AP round production

[@Skeletor944]

Replace the steel core with depleted uranium 😀👍

[@SParrow_wt]

WHEN FILES

[@RedWolf777SG]

You should create a real steel version and have Taofledermaus test it out for you. Just a thought.😅

[@FBI.404]

Hmmm interesting...

[@SynthRockViking]

Try making a reactive armor to counter 😏

[@turtlelord46]

nice

[@Omba820]

I recon you should invest in a camera with better slow mo so we can more clearly see it enter and exit the clay, also how do you launch the projectiles?

[@MrUnl33t]

Did apfsds worked fine with rifled barrel?

[@angry_zergling]

Do they actually cut the rifling into real sabot to make the projectile spin from a smoothbore? That would make sense but it just never occurred to me. Pretty neat if so!

[@takenname7348]

Uh, no. Smoothbore cannon genuinely doesn't shoot APDS since APFSDS is just better

[@shebadoge]

what are you using to launch the projectile

[@TumbleTrashOfficial]

Is this plasticine that you are using for the "armor"

[@dprinting]

Stl?

[@anissaadah257]

Cooll man

[@thecatfromspace9239]

What is that material you're shooting? What are you using to fire it? What velocity is the shell at on impact?

[@palerider9565]

holy shit, whats this dudes background?

[@stridertankwarrior4960]

Great now try spaced armor

[@ARandomHumanBein]

What are you using to shoot the projectiles?

[@wendymegens5672]

Can you put the 3D file of the barrel on thingiverse. I realy cant make something like that or find a file on the internet. I love your videos tho. Keep it up👍

[@rhossbezuidenhout3143]

Pls may you upload 5he files for the launcher and the different projectiles

[@panzerkampfwagenviausf.b2236]

can you make them go mach 2?

[@deluxe_lizardO]

Cool

[@Dumbrarere]

The problems you've had in this video are why Discarding Sabot AP rounds are fired from smoothbore guns, and not rifled guns. It was the same issue discovered by tank engineers in Warsaw Pact and NATO nations during the Cold War, as nations developed what was then the next generation of tanks like the Patton, Leopard and T-62.

[@Clipdump8484]

Maybe try a squash head he?

[@innovationaviator9125]

How do you launch the projectile?

[@kayratronik4774]

Could you share the stl file of the bullet and its tube at 1:13 ?

[@andromededp5316]

Now make high explosive ammunition

[@cleap737]

How do you shoot it?

[@Axel-gh6vj]

Hey is there any way to get the stl ?

[@gundone4344]

What gas do you use for cannon?

[@Flasutie]

Two drops of ethanol!

[@muki3856]

This is super cool, why not try to make a squash head and how do you fire the rounds?

[@Flasutie]

There are not many materials that can see the collapse effect at low kinetic energy... (And I'm using the modular....."potato gun".)

[@muki3856]

@Flasutie ooooh, i was a video on how ti make a potato launcher, your things look rly cool! I love cannons

[@miglol9279]

btw, what material is the victim?
