The ONLY Machine Gun on the Planet That Can Turn Tanks into Scrap

Who doesn’t love to watch weapons at work? Well… the people on the receiving end of them probably don’t but, apart from them, who doesn’t love to watch weapons at work? There’s a reason why action movies are among the most commonly made by Hollywood. But who needs fiction when you can watch the real thing? These are the 20 most powerful military weapons in action!

The American bazooka had bugger all influence on the Soviet RPG-7. The RPG was very heavily influenced by the German panzerschreck and, to a lesser degree, the panzerfaust.

[@allxtend4005]

same for the Cram the russians has a gun that shoot even more bullets and do the same job on warships (not all but any), how a granade lancher can be rank 2 and the Apachi has a counter part by russians and was used way before and can use the same kind of weapons. Not sure what people think here but the number one is the AK47 and why ? because it is so old and still wide spreaded and used today and still way more powerfull then the most Military rifels you will see nowdays because Body armor against a military AK47 ? good luck with that. What we see the most powerfull weapons are Nuclear weapons and Russia has the most powerfull Nuclear weapon why i think so ? because they tested the most powerfull nuclear weapon on earth that destroyed even windows in another countrys hundert miles away because the blast was so powerfull. Who on earth will not think the russians have not more of this kind of weapons or even developed better ones ? MOAB ... there was a bomb non nuclear tested by russia in Syria it has even more power then the MOAB but here we see just moab. When it comes to ranking of weapons this is weried because this is like more of a joke and favor american weapons instead of the truth then we have the javelin it is one of the best weapons in reality and yes it is made by the US but nowhere in this ranking like the AK47

[@smgdfcmfah]

@@allxtend4005 AK 47 is cheap, quick to produce and reliable under harsh circumstances - it's the perfect choice for a poorly trained, peasant army. That doesn't make it the best choice for a top end, well trained, professional military. No one weapon is ideal for everyone, mostly because when you make something cheap and simple, you give up fine machining that makes it accurate. When your soldiers can't shoot straight anyway (like most of the millions armed with AKs all over Africa and the Middle East), then what difference does it make if the weapons aren't terribly accurate? As for the power of the round, NATO realized LONG ago that volume meant more than power, so they switched to the 5.56 and doubled the amount of ammo an infanteer could carry. They knew that most KIAs took place from artillery and other support weapons and even during infantry fire fights, it was the GPMGs (LMGs, MMGs, HMGs) that did much of the damage.

[@davehill5503]

That ClickBait picture of the tank with the white circles, doesn't look like it has been shot by anything, notice there's no damage to the tracks, the under plate, the gap between the turret, or the gun.

[@whyjnot420]

A sub not appearing on RADAR? You don't say. I heard that RADAR doesn't work all that well in liquids, which is why we instead use SONAR underwater. This entire entry sounds like it was written by a chat bot using simple probability to determine the next word. Another example is the conflation between modern subs and those of ww2 (where detection by RADAR was actually a constant threat, since they ran on the surface if at all possible) and earlier. I have issues with how that was presented, but for a 2 min long segment, I'll allow it. (The way is was stated in the video can easily be argued to imply that people have used subs similar to the Ohio class, or at the lest modern style subs, since the 1910s) addendum: I would honestly not be surprised if sometimes, with their sail (that top bit that sticks out from the main body of the vessel) out of the water, they do get picked up on RADAR. Though how that well would work on days when the waves are higher than the sail is... well, my guess is 'not that well'. Granted that would only be when they are on or almost at the surface... not the usual place a sub wants to be.

[@MrGsteele]

"Wants" to be - modern subs are HORRIBLE on the surface - they are cigar-shaped - and in any but damn near flat-ass calm seas, the planes have a hell of a time keeping the boat from a'rockin'. Put it underwater and it's stable as a subway train at rest. Tight quarters, yes - but the smoothest ride in the Navy - SSN, SSGN, or SSBN.

[@CasperDunning]

The GAU-8 is limited to a burst of seconds because if it went longer it would make the A-10 Lighting II (The Warthog) slowdown so much that it would simply fall out of the sky. The fun part is that the GAU-8 was designed first than the plane was designed around it.

[@b101uk9]

the GAU-8 produces recoil that is a little over the equivalent of one engine, which is NOT enough to make it fall out of the sky or slow very much, what was the cause, was feckless idiots designing it forgot the smoke that poured out of the gun barrels when firing would be ingested by the engines and cause them to flame-out, because they never put an auto ignitor on the engines, eventually an auto-ignitor was added to each engine and tied into the firing circuit with a delayed cut-off so it would continue for a period of time after firing - the whole story of it being recoil and it slowing it down was utter BS, given most attacks are done at 30deg or more which means 50% of the mass of the A-10 is acting as acceleration to the A-10, which is greater than the sum of recoil once things were rectified.

[@glennrynhoud9424]

Originally done by the Germans.

[@daniellambert1217]

Another fun fact , this weapon also collects the spent cartridges so as to maintain it`s trim in flight

[@b101uk9]

@@daniellambert1217 as do any that use the endless belt system common with such drum-mags, this is given it would not be good to drop live unspent rounds for example, as each time the trigger is released and due to the electric primer, there are always 10 to 20 unspent rounds that are cycled as it stops, as while stopping firing is instantaneous on trigger release the spin-down is not instantaneous though is still very quick, but rounds are still cycled - it would also be rather silly to to drop the big case as represent a threat to things below and to engine ingestion, given the engine placement,

[@NA-oq4ty]

The aircraft GAU is limited to 1500 rounds with a cyclical rate of 3000 rounds per minute. Although it is curbed to 2000 rounds per. With a burst rate of 60 rounds per second. Without that controlled fire rate a pilot would be defenseless in 30 to 45 seconds.

[@HE-pu3nt]

19:35. The warhead of the rpg-7 does take awhile to "warm up" as you put it. But the warhead has to be accelerated to 1000 feet per second as rapidly as possible to maintain accuracy. To do this, it is attached to a bloody powerful rocket. Firing indoors can prove fatal if the indoor space is small, or the space has few places for the overpressure to vent. Any other soldiers present, if stood near the rear of the weapon when fired, will definitely get injured/killed.

The Original Project Vulcan, was needed to cope with much faster Aircraft & consequent short engagement time...using the Gatling system, scaling it up to the GAU-8 & 9, & similar, It CAN fire much faster, avoiding barrel erosion etc, with a faster barrel-set...but as per GW1, Russian tanks tend to become scrapped out in just over 1 second (c. 90 rounds)...very cost effective!

MOAB actually stands for Massive Ordnance Air Burst. It's actually designed to explode in the air (usually within 50 feet and the resulting fireball literally sucks the oxygen out of the air. Where you are wrong, it's not designed to destroy caves, it's design is to explode at the mouth of the cave to literally suck everything out of the cave itself and possibly send a very hot wave of fire their way as well

[@mlonghammer8388]

The massive pressure wave is the lethal part of Thermobaric weapons. The explosion does use oxygen up but unlike napalm you will be dead from the massive over pressure before oxygen will ever be a concern. the injuries will be more like those sustained from opening the door of a submarine than burns or fragmentation.

[@crazylarryjr]

@@mlonghammer8388, I understand what does the killing, the issue I had was this was called a bunker buster, when in fact it's designed for blasting caves. This weapon was specifically designed for the environment it was to be used in, desert mountainous terrain with caves all over the place.

Evidence is the the GAU-8 would not be able to rip apart a "modern" Russian such as the T90.
