Not everyone with a 3d printer can "just do it" have you seen the tolerances of those prints? Also the surface finish. The dude either tuned his printer to perfection or has a pro grade printer like Ultimaker. Watch KZbin closely, not mentioning any names but most 3d printer creator channels don't hold a candle to the quality this guy managed to output (some even "showcase" points with voids in them).

This is such an incredible use of 3D printing. Really impressive design

[@darth_dan8886]

The cannon is beautiful - and, aside from the actual experimentation done on this channel, I keep learning new mechanical elements to apply in my future 3D prints. The breech system looks very fun, and I really enjoy your attention to detail whrn it comes to safety, like that disconnect able plug to avoid any potential of a misfire. The shell... I think we can call it an LE shell lol - but that water splatter says it all, the reaction really did happen!

[@potatogod8366]

thats actually amazing! as someone interested in weapon design adn 3d printing, i find this so cool and inspiring. You should make upgrades to this cannon and implement the other projectile styles that you have made.

[@arpadimretoth6545]

Wow, very nice job! I really want to see more ammo types from you. I'd REALLY enjoy watching HEAT and HESH shells in action :)

[@catfwish]

Probably be incredibly difficult and probably illegal/dangerous, since both of them need a) solid explosives and b) and actual high explosive to work.

[@mariaslamat4999]

Heat might work if you’d put propellent inside the big shell and put a sub projectile inside it so it can point blank blast thru a wall

[@canidaeSynapse]

@@catfwish I mostly agree, though he could make a HEAT shell that uses a liquid instead of a solid so he doesn't have to make a truly destructive jet or anything. That and making a HESH round might just be an air filled balloon that is squashed against the target and popped by a fuse triggering a CO2 canister at the back to increase pressure until bursting. Might work, might not work, but at least it isn't miniaturizing actual munitions.

Your HE shell did work lad, its just the material you used is weak and thin but it did work like it's intended to do. It worked almost similar to the HESH round fired by artilleries and tanks. And its so damn satisfying

All I can say is, it's a damn good thing 3D printers weren't available when I was a Network Engineer. This would have been awesome for the cubicle wars. Only the idiots I worked with would have used actual gun powder or something to make it explode on impact. Cubicle Wars could go from Cold War Arms race / build up, to an endless back & forth escalation over literally anything.(Anyone from 2000-2010 knows exactly what I'm talking about, back when you could get by with doing that crap.)

[@nightshade4873]

my two cents on what could be done as improvements +stronger spring on the shell ejection +mechanisms that can: -hold the round in the chamber during loading and when the gun is at high elevation angle -engage the ejection mechanism only after the round has been fired and the breech subsequently opened +some sort of sealing around the projectile base so that less propellant pressure is lost during firing, or switching to smoothbore. +probably a cradle to guide the round into the breech

Closer to SAP shells than pure HE but beautifully done regardless. It’s amazing you were able to make it with just 3D parts that so cleanly fit together despite the meticulous detail. Most complicated prints I’ve seen people do take a lot of sanding to fit together properly. Just wish the plastic sliding against plastic wasn’t the worst sound to my ears because it makes it hard to fully appreciate the loading and unloading.

[@greatlegacyoftanks5511]

That HE round seemed to behave more like a SAP (semi armor piercing)... which is basically a high velocity HE with a thicker capsule to pierce light armor but still cause a large explosion milliseconds after impact. Unlike AP or APHE which has timed fuses, SAP will explode on all armored surfaces or rather in the armor plate it self and cause large unrepairable damage. if AP were to be used against similar targets an AP with go in one side and out the other with minimal damage. SAP was commonly used in naval warfare for the purpose of ripping and tearing small but decent armored ships like destroyers or cruisers of which HE would just splatter because they had enough armor to prevent damage but too little armor for AP to stay in the ship to do damage.
