[@Makrangoncias]

The video would benefit from adding numbers and type names on the screen. As a non-native english speaker from Europe I have trouble following randomly changing imperial and SI metrics (you could be consistent with those) converting feet to meters on the fly, also understanding device names like 2A36 (not this one but all the others that are mentioned briefly). For example when you say 21 thousand something pounds my mind is racing to catch up... that's like ten tons right? Then again just slightly later you use kgs for the projectile, but feet for the barrel length and kms for range, I think it must be really confusing for practically everyone.

NATO used to have high caliber guns too, i think only Turkey has kept the 200+mm guns in stock. The thing is that super heavy artillery is not really practical on the modern battlefield, you wont get enough of a firepower boost to justify the logistics, as for why people hype Russian guns, they often look bigger, and cruder than NATO guns so people just take that to mean they are more powerful, they often are not.

[@blyatman7244]

For the machine gun, their. 50 (12.7x something I can't remember) are longer in length and have higher energy, thus deal a tad bit more damage on impact I think it's more of a propaganda they used in the cold war saying that Russian artillery is better than the NATO (and those that they use during the Chechnyan war, they were called 'Allah Express' for a reason), but we can't really say that they aren't good, though.

[@rerbitd7094]

Only an amateur who does not understand weapons can put Russian large-caliber machine guns with M 2 in a row.

12.7 mm Russian ammo is more powerful than .50 ammo. Rounds have not only the diameter, but also length, as well as the power of the charge, which can vary in both rifle and artillery ammo. Barrel length also matters when it comes to the energy of the shot. Russians just have a lot of heavy caliber artillery in all units and all sorts of forms. They also have 203 and 240 mm guns, so it's not only Turkey that has 200+ artillery
