APFSDS of Soviet design and little bit of 3D printing

[@Flasutie]

I'll have to simulate how much clay is like steel in this experiment.

[@kenzow9479]

Do you have any stats on how thick the clay should be to kind of behave like a steel target?

[@11Tits]

Or shoot it throught a 1mm thick steel plate. (Insert a steel rod to the dart tho. (Also maybe make it pointed)

[@kenzow9479]

@@11Tits True that is, just wouldnt think that 3d printed plastic could penetrate? Possibly worth a try!

[@shebadoge]

Layered aluminum foil

[@Billy-BobXIV]

@@shebadoge YES

[@QwerYT4819]

Great experiment. The fins on APFSDS penetrators are usually designed to break off the penetrator when it impacts a hard surface, because otherwise it reduces penetration because of drag.

[@TheJimyyy]

they just are make of a weak cheap metal

I would love to see a video of the round leaving the barrel so we can see the petals separating.

[@firewing1319]

The other thing to consider is that Russian apfsds only had a hardened slug in the tip unlike western apfsds that went with a full length penetrator. These days both are full length.

[@worldoftancraft]

yes, it just happened to be a decade after with the decade-after-better metallurgy. Exactly when new generation of Sovêt "cowbars" were as well having improvements.

[@cameron5802]

Always enjoy your content Flasutie, thank you for your work. Those fins aren't often removable, and will also penetrate targets as the rod makes it through. Many simulations show the small petaling on armored surfaces/

[@AmbrisRiktar2808]

The petalling it because of the fins breaking off as they hit. It is intentional

[@johnstemmlerjr.5922]

I can't wait to see the future of this channel, keep up the good work

[@kop1807]

Love your videos, man. Keep it up!

[@sillymilly-1]

surprised the fins didn't break

[@haoshito5754]

Underrated guy

[@indyjons321]

I love this channel.

[@bitpak8058]

Это офигенно! Попробуй сделать что бы у ломов одтелялось оперение, мне кажеться пробой будет побольше

[@Just_gaming2012-od2rv]

I love your videos! It would be nice if you upload more models through🙂

[@Xihnic]

I like to imagine bro has a functioning mini tank from each nation to fire these rounds

[@user-wx7pc4in2b]

Love your work

[@ryusuki]

Now I’d like to Kano if this is shot using pressurized air or just the good old primer😊

[@srthebox4946]

You should think abt making the fins weaker so they break off on impact instead of penetrating the clay as well and causing drag

[@Panzer_turtle]

how about lay down the clay and shoot at it and cut it to half like balistic gelatin?

[@matt_pigeonowsky]

I would like to see you experimenting with some armor made from cardboard, paper, clay etc.

[@skinisdelicious3365]

Should a ASDFS round if engineered for it be fired from a 40mm UBGL?

[@namefamily2748]

Velocity is too low

[@OrginalTRreis]

Comrade, that was accurate. ☭

[@takenname7348]

quick question: how heavy is the dart and how fast does it travel?

[@Flasutie]

About 8~10g, 100 ~130m/s

[@namok-wx6xn]

can i ask how much is the width with the petals included im trying to make an air powered rifle for my occupational works project 😅

[@christianshipwreck8077]

penetrator just didn't care about the "armor" lol. If the "powder" charge was the same as your other sabot, its much better in design

[@ibrahimgp7213]

70mm clay(tough material) vs APFSDS (3d printed) Real life simulations fr fr

[@faked8586]

So fucking satisfying

[@nathan4750]

will you try thicker pieces of clay and using other materials?

[@Ghent_Halcyon]

1. What are you using to fire this 2. Absolutely incredible

[@phanduytan_11at16]

Very nice video ❤❤❤

[@LuminousCatt]

want one of those. so cool

[@filiph3435]

From what are you shooting the projectile, nice video btw

[@hantoo2]

nice

[@mr.muffindan.m3367]

awesome as usual

[@tothedome566]

good spalling!

[@8Flamingos]

How do you fire it like do you use a rubber band or a actual mini canon that uses gunpowder

[@Just_gaming2012-od2rv]

He uses an ethanol patatocannon to fire it

[@notapplicable7401]

I’m trying to adapt this to my potato cannon. What was the inner diameter of your barrel so I can properly scale it?

[@Flasutie]

It is about 20mm, but it was designed considering the error range when printing, so you need to find your exact scale value.

[@sefe_fas]

What cannon did you fired?

[@susenbusin]

what do you use to launch the projectiles

[@tvheld1037]

flasutie i got an idea on how to make a high explosive shell! you could design a shell that has a blank in it that explodes on impact and you could design the shell like a grenade to make it explode into tiny pieces

[@Flasutie]

You mean like shrapnel shell? but not after penetration, but before?

[@tvheld1037]

yep

[@Anton-cg7og]

​@@Flasutie at this point just put a shaped charge in

[@Gearedfilm57]

I don't know if it's legal where you are at but would you be interested in making one with a steel penetrator in 12ga so it can be shot out of a shotgun???

[@belgianfried]

3BM32?

[@zieghailer]

how you launch them

[@ukrainianfalcons19]

it's just great! can you please share the faymamm for the Soviet projectile, only not with 5 petals but with 3, I will be very grateful! where can I keep in touch with you?

[@rostastepanek5542]

Try making a shape charge

[@Everything_I_Like.]

what is the calibre of the whole thing?

[@SpongeFangs0113]

what do you shoot it with ????

[@katyushav-2133]

How do you shoot these things

[@themoddingzone-s2x]

how do you fire the shot

[@tvheld1037]

high explosive rounds :)

[@MatějŠvenda]

i dont know if you know so am telling you just in case, he made HE rounds
