How does the 105mm howitzer work?

Thank you very much. I'll use it well for the video production.

excellent work! I was ROK Army for 105mm FA over 20years ago. still remember how I operate the gun which was made 1943. but super accurate! everytime in the firing range, all shells hit the target perfectly.

We trained on these at Camp Pendleton California 1966. After arriving in Vietnam, was assigned to “L” battery, 4th battalion, 11th Marines, 1 st. Marine div. This battery consisted of 155 M109 self propelled howitzers. Could you do a video on the call for fire, how fdc works, the call for fire putting in the data to the gun,laying in the battery and the various types of rounds used. How aiming stakes are used. Very informative video. But just some ideas for future videos. Thank you!

The 3d models themselves deserves praise. Then there's the video it self. Great work 💜

[@snoopyyy_23]

sound effects "swooiiish" when disassembly sounds kinda corny, no effects when disassembly is better imo. but other sound effects is solid and 3d is high quality and 2d animations solid as well

[@regar4s]

Thank you! Exactly what I searched for, howitzer mechanics inside view. Cherrs from Ukraine

[@stealthhumor]

The graphics are good and the sound effects are OK. Two things though: learning how a weapon works should include some discussion of how it's aimed, so a couple of minutes about sighting and hitting a target would be interesting (to me anyway), and what is it with government videos that use computer-generated speech? Every time Robo pronounced "howitzer" my teeth crunched. Is CGS the new normal?

[@dannymalone4247]

In the artillery, you actually aim the howitzer in one direction and fire in another. True!

It's silly, and at times a little misleading, but for most people this is as much information as they need. Decent work, I'm curious about your methods.

[@Ifoundnohappinesshere]

I never thought I would learn something from the military studying.

[@amonkanan787]

U did not mention the range , the effect and when it suitable to use ,great and terrific explanation for the structure of the gun

[@cosmoray9750]

It is a must watch. 👀 Search " The Warmonger's Legacy " on YT and share.

[@travellingcanuck8243]

Depends on the model. But the range is between 13 to 18 kilometers. The modified Canadian 105's have a longer barrel and new muzzle break that allows for up to 18 kilometers. They are suitable for troops and vehicle fire missions as well as illumination missions. The structure of the gun apart from was already explained is that the gun and the wheels are on a separate axle that needs to be unlocked from each other when put into action.

[@BlueFlash215]

I clicked this video with little to no hope on actually getting a decent explanation. The thumbnail looked way to good and I thought this for sure would be some kind of clickbait. Yet you delivered! You delivered more details, precise condensed information, than I even expected. It was so well animated, explained and shown. You didn't even had a lengthy intro or boring parts that beg for subs, likes, etc. This is one of the best videos I've seen. Thanks so much for your effort. May I ask what your profession is? Do you have a military background? Are you an engineer or a vfx artist?

The one thing you didn't address - do the spent casings eject from gravity alone, or is there an ejection mechanism?

[@AmericoRmoney]

What a great video

[@carlwelch5944]

Well in the simple terms !!! It goes bang

[@edi9892]

One key detail was left out: how to load it? Something must catch the cartridge from sliding back, or it will interfere with the breach. Also, does it need to be fully level when loaded? Loading it at a steep angle would be quite difficult...

[@gryph01]

The person loading the cartridge pushing the cartridge and holds it. As the breach block is closed, loading person slides their arm to the left. I was a number 2 on this type of howitzer. The number 2 opened/closed the breach, set the barrel elevation and fired it. Also, we loaded that type of howitzer at what the needed elevation is. We did not level the barrel to reload. There are some 155 mm howitzer (and larger) that require the barrel to go to a certain angle to reload. But 105's do not have to. A NATO 105 howitzer shell and casing weigh around 35 lbs (15.9 kg). Loaders gain arm strength quickly pushing the shell amd casing into the breach.

[@travellingcanuck8243]

We make a fist and shove the round in the breach, it is not that heavy, about 35 lbs. We make a fist so that when the number 2 closes the breach, his hand just gets pushed to the side and he losses no fingers to the breach.

[@terolah]

Very nice! Can you make one explaining how they aim these things?

[@richardcich2018]

By the use of numerical information(target info) from a fire direction section(provided by a forward observer) to an aiming "circle"(numbered/scope) to the left aiming numbered scope on the howitzer ...given elevation and deflection numbers to the gunners scope where numbers are then cranked until the leveler bubble is lined up.

[@jimarcher5255]

Fond memories as a 2nd Lt. opening the breech, then moving to the front of the barrel to take the ram rod and pounding on the nose of the shell to remove a dud round out of the barrel. The rest of the gun crew watching the Lt. From a safe distance.

[@dannymalone4247]

What is that white thing inserted to the muzzle assy. After the artillery round?

The casing which has the power. 105 rounds are like bullets, they have a casing, and a round. The casing, much like a bullet, is ejected after firing.

Please make the background music volume a lot lower, makes it hard to hear the narration. Regarding terminology 0:34 it's not self propelled cannon, but self propelled guns. 10:25 That's called traverse, not rotation The term cannon is used throughout but no one ever refers to it like that, it's either "gun", or "howtizer", the canadian version is officially described as "C3 howitzer", to describe the cannon assembly, carriage and recoil mechanism

[@davidroman1654]

The 105mm is a small howitzer with the shell weighing about 45 lbs. The larger 155mm shell is about 100lbs. Modern tanks only are larger, by a small amount, than the small 105mm.

[@gamerdanger9499]

@@davidroman1654 ohhh thanks for the info bro

[@travellingcanuck8243]

Tanks use the 120mm smooth barrel guns. At least on the Abrams or the Leopard 2 do (actually is exact same gun made in Germany on both). The bore is not rifled because sabot rounds are used mostly, which don't use rifling.

Yes, amount of powder and angle are what determines the range. Also the 105 can be air lifted if needed and could be towed by a Humvee.

@@Bullet_Tooth84 The cartridge has 7 charge bags, if the mission requires HE quick Charge 5, then the ammo guy will remove 2 charges from a string of charges (charge number 6 and 7), then mate the shell to the cartridge.

Olden days issues... Modern day non-issue Trucks have tail ramps (hydraulic, electrical, mechanical) for quicker loading and unloading Recoil is on the ground, not building, not ship, not truck Stability when firing is trailling arms like cranes and legs for trucks with cranes Short bore-barrel is accuracy of wind over distance-range and terrain and training to don't bother too much and just use more guns
