This TINY tankette can penetrate 400MM OF ARMOUR | Sprocket

The title does not lie... In fact, it's an UNDERSTATEMENT! Which is wild lol. This bug probably won't last forever, so enjoy it while it lasts.

The 8 minute light travel time is from the sun to the earth. light from earth takes 1.3 seconds to reach the moon. However, this round is flying at 0.00016 c, as opposed to a normal round, which flies at 0.0000027 c

The round is in fact so fast, it would not only surpass the escape velocity from earth, but from our solar system, that is if its balistics and materials are good enough not to vaporise and loose all its energy from aerodynamic drag. In fact, to aim this gun over very long distances you would need to point the gun downwards to make up for the centrifugal accelerationof the round as it travels around the earth.

That cannon you talked about would have IMMENSE issue with shell shattering, even with a cap and ballistic cap it would likely nearly 100% of the time just shatter apon impact Edit: I almost forgot to mention that the post pen damage would be literally nonexistent and APHE variant shell would be able to exist from the issues with shell shattering on impact. So the shell shattering would only help with post pen damage

[@Stardust_the_F-104C]

I wanna explain something here too. The tiger 1s and 2s had diffrent penitraters for thier shell as if you load a tgr 1 APHE into a tgr 2 cannon it 1. Wouldn't for because the kwk.43 88mm cannons had a longer shell length then the kwk.36 88mm even if you got a tgr1 aphe warhead onto a tgr2 propellant the tgr 1 shell head would shatter bc it's not suited to withstand such high impact loads, the tgr2s had a specialized shell head made so it wouldn't shatter. Likely along with a new APCR as well. The panzerkampfwagen 8, aka the maus has a secret APDS that likely used a tgr2 shell head and even then it had issues with shattering. A 128mm firing a 88 In a apds configuration would do that if you don't have it specialized to survive such impacts. Patchy If you want to pin this so others can see a unnecessarily long explanation of stuff then it's up to you alr matey

[@onerxowns2202]

Imagine amount of spalling created by tank armor itself from impact alone and then it go inside and out creating supersonic or even hypersonic fragments bouncing inside of the tank. Non-lethal you say ?

@Oner Xowns not non-lethal just... minimal, you would have to aim very specifically to actually do very much.. or dump alot of ammo into the target and pray to God it kills em

[@marmite8959]

Dude it's a bullet travelling faster than escape velocity. Assuming it didn't melt away to nothing from atmospheric friction, if it hit a tank the spalling would definitely be substantial

[@Stardust_the_F-104C]

@Marmite 1mm in diameter, sure it's fast but that doesn't mean it's spall like crazy as the spall particles will be moving too fast to spread much to at all meaning not very effective, but I'll be honest who truly knows with that speeds

357mm pen? That's soundly in anti-ship range. HMS Audacious (1912) had 305mm in its main belt. The USS Missouri, which last sailed in 1992, and is the most recent American battleship, had 307mm at the waterline. This little 5.8t tank would be a mobile anti-ship gun. There would of course be issues with doing actual damage, IRL. Shock forces would obliterate the round instantly, and even if it could stay intact it would make a hole only around 1mm wide. You couldn't put any explosives in it, but the energy density would probably even go down if you tried.

[@pitivan3895]

[@quigonjinn3567]

The Poles had also a anti tank rifle (Karabin przeciwpancerny wz.35) which didn't penetratrated the the target. It worked a bit like later HESH rounds but without any explosives, It shot a very soft 7.9 mm bullet at 1,275 m/s (4,180 ft/s) causing the armour plates inside the tank to be ripped of & bounce inside the tank. This AT Rifle was copied by the germans & later by the soviets in their "development" of the PTRD-41

While the penetration is way up there, the energy imparted to the target is less than a 37mm bofors. Muzzle energy is absolutely ridiculous (I assumed a 3gr projectile like a 2mm kolibri), but at the same time, doesn't seem like it'd actually do much to a tank unless you were right in its path.

Will… I don’t think maths or space are your thing. As it’s light from sun that takes 8 minutes to reach us. 9 seconds to moon sounded pretty reasonable as it’s on average around 238,855 miles (384,400 km) away from earth, sun is 93 000 000 miles, or about 150 000 000km away. Ninetythree Million. Let’s hope I don’t end up embarrassing myself here… My calculations say that 48 000m/s is 172 800km/h, thus it would take the round about 2 hours to reach moon. Seems like the 9 second wasn’t as reasonable as I first thought. Haha, well, live and learn. 😅 Edited to add both metric and imperial measurements.

[@Mandred85]

The gun you're talking about can not exist because the velocity of a projectile is limited by the expansion velocity of the burning gas wich is mostly around 5000fps or 1500m/s. The fastest excelaration for a projektile lies around 4000m/s with experimental rail guns. That's the reason why projectiles got bigger and bigger for tanks. Because the energy for a 20mm projectile at 1500m/s is limited and insufficient around 3"or 75mm of RHS.
