BIGGEST SQUIB LOAD EVER!! Removing 200-pound BULLET stuck in HOWITZER barrel!

BIGGEST SQUIB LOAD EVER!! Removing 200-pound BULLET stuck in HOWITZER barrel #shorts

[@InertOrdnance]

We were out at our testing range with our M110A2 self-propelled 203mm howitzer, when we encountered a shot that evidently had a bad propellant lot. An 8-inch Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition became lodged about halfway down the bore. We had to use a special recovery vehicle to remove the M201 howitzer off the carriage and bring it back to our shop for assessment. We then had to use new advanced cold-cutting techniques to cut away the barrel, but not detonate the projectile lodged in the barrel. This very delicate 26 hour procedure was a complete success. The 203mm M509A1 DPICM projectile was revealed, de-fuzed, inerted, and is now completely safe. Unfortunately, this procedure completely destroyed our M201 howitzer. We are going to proceed with a process that we invented, whereas we reattach the barrel through a miniaturized robotic drone welder that we will carefully fly into the barrel and begin the reweld process. Unfortunately, we ended up with the center section of barrel that is 9-feet long that cannot be reused. The new "short-barreled howitzer" will be registered as an AOW with ATF, and we are planning on subcaling it to 45-70 government. We expect to have all of the work completed by the end of the day, and will be out shooting again as soon as the 45-70 ammo gets delivered. Wish us luck! Ok, everything above, as well as the video was all in good fun, and not to be taken seriously (obviously). We have a demiled 203mm/8-inch M201 howitzer, along with an inert/fired M509A1 projectile, so thought it would be pretty damn funny to simulate a ridiculous squib situation. Hope everyone has a great weekend! EDIT: forgot to include a cool little factoid..........the MASSIVE two-stage muzzle brake that you can see in the video is the largest ever used by the U.S. military. The brake alone weighs about 800 pounds!!!

Fun? The internet is dangerous. Morons are breeding. Please put a flashing red text it's a joke. No jokes aloud.

[@rooknado]

I was genuinely interested just to have my time wasted, lol

[@fukkyoutube]

whats this cold cutting technique that cuts like an acetylene torch with that kind of precision as to not blow up the ordinance still inside and leave the exposed cut rusty?

[@InertOrdnance]

​@@fukkyoutube It uses a liquid helium retro-encabulating cutting arm........it was built by Rockwell Automation. Basically, the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it's produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctants and capacitive duractants.

How can you have some more of something you never had in the first place?

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Water displacement? Why not buy some proper lubricant? Wd40 stands for Wd-40 literally stands for water displacement, 40th formula…WD-40 Multi-Use-Product is the name the chemist who developed the product back in 1953 used, straight from his lab book. The chemist was Norm Larsen, working in a small lab in San Diego, California. He attempted to create a formula to prevent metal corrosion on rockets for the Aerospace industry. Norm’s persistence paid off when he perfected the formula on his 40th try.

I collect artillery projos also. I much prefer fired recovered ones that have been there & done that. I've got fired & unfired 8" projo's too. They are seriously heavy, 235lbs. We used 25lbs black powder to fire it😊

[@InertOrdnance]

​@@michaelpierson7256 Why did he use black powder, instead of real artillery propellant? Seriously messed up his 8-in howitzer. Think he would have learned his lesson with using the wrong powder, but he obviously didn't, as he used it again in the 76mm ammo and got Steve and Austin killed

The barrel is cut using a torch, whether oxy acy or plasma, it can be seen from the cut marks. So it is impossible for the projectile to get stuck there intact, especially with the HE charge and fuse attached.
