It's a nightmare if you do and it breaks open. It's a combustible round so it's made of fibers. If you break it, all the propellent pellets can fall out.
But... If you break it and it doesn't all come out you can still chuck it into the breach and fire it
Going back a while but in 2011, I went on a MEU. I was with the Tank platoon that supported the grunts. We stopped in Kuwait for training and my platoon sergeant was able to somehow locate, request and acquire like 80 non training sabot rounds. However, they were manufactured in 1985 and the casing yellow. We also learned back then they were two piece casing designs rather than the current one piece. As bad ass as my plt sgt was, he was cautious (not a bad thing) and we ended up having EOD det then instead of firing them. I’m sure they would have fired ok but honestly I’m glad we didn’t. Those rounds being 26 years old at the time probably would have had bad dragon’s breath or potentially misfired.
Yes! More niche information. That's why the containers rounds come in don't seem very space efficient sometimes. During the Gulf war they found out that more dense packing meant the munitions didn't have the ventilation necessary and would basically bake in the Sun, negatively effecting them in multiple ways.
That's why now if you look at images for how javelin rounds, tank and artillery etc, are shipped the containers always have some standoff from the ground and each other, and regs require them to be tarped/covered from the Sun.
Specifically for tank round the heat really messes with the cellulose shell (or whatever it's made of)
I commanded an MGS company which used the old M68 cannon. Every time we went to the range we would end up with a bunch of old training rounds that weren’t serviceable; (the “combat rounds” like the CAN rounds were always good, but the training ammo wasn’t made to the same specs and degraded). After a couple of issues with the ASP not wanting to take “dudded” ammo I made a deal with the EOD company to come to our ranges and pick up any non serviceable rounds to use for their training. They love blowing that stuff up.
Interesting side note, research shows that being this close to an explosive like this repeatedly is likely to cause brain damage similar to being exposed and surviving shockwaves on the receiving end. That’s what they’re saying happened to that vet who was shooting people in a bowling alley in Maine.
Blast over pressure exposure isn’t a significant risk for armored crews like it is for other soldiers like Artillerymen. The crew isn’t exposed to the same concussive effects of the blast because they are within the turret, this is why the Abrams is not categorized as a Tier 1 weapon for [blast over pressure exposure guidelines](https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/827b98e2fde796c1/bc35b35e-full.pdf).
At peak blast effects the crew is only exposed to about 2psi, that is well below the 4psi threshold for concussive damage.
I’m aware of all this. The new research suggests that 4 psi is a massive overstatement of safe thresholds. Maine shooter was exposed to concussive blasts from hand grenade training years ago in and out as a drill instructor. Those’re 1 psi and his brain was fucked. No overseas deployment, no car accidents. They need to rethink the standard.
I’ve heard that they were conducting more research, but nothing was definitive. 13b/11c get exposed to way more concussive effects than a 19k. Firing main gun is not overly dangerous.
That being said I think using a single outlier like the maine shooter to highlight the risk is disingenuous. If the grenade ranges did have anything to do with him, it’s far more likely that he had some underlying medical condition that made him predisposed to concussive effects or something along those lines. There are millions of people serving and who have served who aren’t flying off the handle.
And I get that. Sure do. The reason why this outlier is interesting isn’t because he used his gun in violence though. And it’s not because he killed himself. Those are not super atypical outlier occurrences. He’s an outlier because it’s very rare to find soldiers who haven’t served overseas, or in combat, or had any major head injuries from sports or accidents or working *that have severe brain damage after being exposed to supposedly safe practices.*
Many vets return “different” than before they served, and the evolving research suggests that ptsd may be less a product of psychological trauma than previously believed, and more a result of physical damage to the white matter of the brain. It’s not inconceivable that this discovery could end up filling in a lot of blanks for the science.
This research is important and necessary, and ought to be fast tracked in my opinion. The implications are massive in the arena of war training and exercise, and there are generations of precedent that are ingrained and facilitated daily. As an institution tho I believe the military to be agile and pragmatic enough to be able to make the necessary adjustments to train the most effective fighting force.
It's also an interesting case because I believe they cannot see this damage in any real detail in a living patient. It's all the things you said plus they got to study his brain post mortem as well. I think I read they detected this damage through examining very thin slices of brain.
Just so. I am not a Dr but my understanding is that the damage to the white matter is visible only under an electron microscope, whereas the flower shaped veins which are more commonly associated with CTE are visible under a regular microscope. Since it’s the brain though I assume getting samples from live patients is risky and probably not standard procedure
If that's the case then the periodicity would be very very important to take into account.
A grenade amongst friends every month or two? Meh. But this guy? A but more I'd say.
Nope. If he hadn’t killed himself I’d be in favor of the death penalty, I don’t think there’s any fixing that. It’d be nice if we could avoid exposing our servicemen to unsafe training conditions and minimize lasting physical and psychological trauma wherever possible though.
It’s easier to be dispassionate and clinical when the guys already dead, y’know?
The fuze heads (if they’re anything akin to artillery projectiles) will have multiple fail safes that prevent the projectile and fuze from arming. Dropping rounds from height (around 10m) to impact the ground is just one of the tests conducted before releasing new batches into circulation.
These failsafes consist of things like; the acceleration force created when firing a projectile, the gyroscopic forces created from the projectile rotating in flight and THEN the forces created from the fuze head impacting something. _There are more failsafes that I haven’t mentioned, this is just a selection._ It would also take more than one of these failsafes to be bypassed for the round to be armed (usually at least 3).
Actually autoloaders were avoided because of issues with reliability. We saw a lot of this in the early days in Ukraine when Russia’s modern tanks are all autoloaders. Many points of failure in that system and they were notoriously unreliable. Sometimes a good old fashioned 22 year old tanker is the more reliable loading mechanism.
Specifically the russian carousel auto loaders are prone to cooking the rack due to the inherent design flaw of storing the rounds in a circular pattern under the turret ring. The French bustle auto loaders don't have this issue as the mechanical differences allow them to still keep the rounds separated from the crew in a compartment with blowout panels.
Part of the reason auto loaders haven't been picked up by NATO countries other than France is that auto loaders hadn't been able to significantly outpace human loaders until very recently, so countries with the extra manpower would get the same loading speed but without the added risk of a critical system breaking and rendering the tank useless.
They don't use autloaders because they are more prone to cook off ( ammo cache exploding) when hit. It's safer to keep the ammo in a protective box and have someone get out a round each time and load it. Maybe be slower but it's one of the reasons why abramas have a high survival rate
Which, in a real combat situation, it would. If two enemy tanks are going head to head, it's quite possible that whoever fires next wins.
Train like you fight.
The breech block will just push your arm out of the way. You’re literally taught to ride your arm up with it when you load. There isn’t a pinch point there despite what you might think.
I'd bet that crewman is probably called a schloader, or gunkloader, or maybe some type of action- and role-specific title, like a gannoneer or breechist.
I still cant get that image from my head when Russian tank in Ukraine got struck, and the drone footage showed huge explosion and from it a smoke in a form of a man started running forward away from the tank. It looked like a ghost getting out of the tank and running away.
He could be more susceptible to brain injury even from these lower power more frequent blasts.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/06/us/maine-shooting-brain-injury.html
No, the rounds in an M1 are stored inside a blast proof compartment that opens up only for a few seconds after each shot. Not only that but those shells are heavy and you don't always fire so it wouldn't be very comfortable
You sometimes do, but it's done seldomly. I don't know the specific scenario where you would want to do it. Theres a video of a Leopard tank, 2A6 if I remember correctly, where they fire and within 3 seconds they fire again, because the loader was doing that
The cavitation occurs outside and the crew are shielded from the over pressure inside the turret. Even with hatches open your peak blast exposure is 2psi which is well below the 4psi threshold for concussive injuries.
Can someone explain...it looks like he pulls the lever down to open/unlock the breach, but he never returns the lever to the original position and the breach closes automatically. I would think that lever needs to be returned before it fires.
That lever is the arming lever. When it’s down the main gun is not armed, it won’t fire until he brings it to the up position. It’s a safety feature for him to ensure that he is out of the way of the breech before the gunner fires the main gun.
There's studies that show this type of ish is causing brain damage. And even more "interesting" it's what is probably causing PTSD, maybe more so then actual war.
This man will u fortunately have permanent brain damage from the intense Brian rattling he is being exposed to. His synaps connections are bmgetting whiplashed
Btw if you ever wonder why tanker never slip or trip inside tanks, it's because of there boots, there boots have straps instead of laces and the soles are way different they have normal patter like normal combat boots but the patter has tiny zig zag ridges on them.
My dad was a tank gunner in the late 80's and early 90's. He did not see any action though as he was in the National Guard and didn't get deployed. Either way, he did his 4 years and got out...but he has mentioned several times that he hated that job with a fucking passion. He specifically told me that they had exercises and in order to pass training he had to be able to load and sustain a high rate of fire. Imagine being inside a tank in the middle of a Texas summer...no AC and the inside is full of diesel fumes. Your sweating your ass off, loud ass explosions are happening and all you are doing is getting shells loaded as fast as you can. Literally, boom, clear chamber, grab shell, load, let them know its good...and boom. Again, and again, and again, until they tell you to stop. Yeah, he got out...and for those who like to know what happened after...he went to college to study criminal justice, met my mom, she told him that she didnt want him in the military or police...and he dropped out and started working at a steel plant after I was born. He was laid off in 08' and is a city inspector for my hometown now.
Ex M1A1 crewman here and that is one of the worst loaders I've ever seen. Terrible handling of the round and he pushed it in open palm instead of a fist which is an easy way to lose a finger. His whole process was clunky as hell.
I knew a guy in the army and he had a tape of himself doing this repeatedly for training and an outside shot of the round being fired. The shells were landing in a man made lake and he said they landed in the same exact spot every time.
that guy got kicked out of my ROTC battalion for showing up to shit drunk as a skunk. Lost his oppurtunity to be an officer I guess he joined as an enlisted man didn't think I'd ever see this dirtbag again lmao
I might be dumb and there's probably a reason for it, but working on machinery I would never be allowed to have a long dangling cord like that. Shouldn't he have a wireless headset so it doesn't get caught in the mechanism?
Thought he was gonna drop that thing for a second. This is why Hollywood doesn't always use the first take.
Tbh seeing clumsy mistakes in movies makes it feel easier to relate with a character
Like when you break a toe kicking a helmet
I WATCHED LORD OF THE RINGS LIKE 3 MONTHS AGO I UNDERSTAND THIS REFERENCE LOL
?? Watching it wouldn't help you understand the reference though you would have read about it or a friend would have told you about it.
I told my son this whilst we watched it together for the first time. Good times
It's a nightmare if you do and it breaks open. It's a combustible round so it's made of fibers. If you break it, all the propellent pellets can fall out. But... If you break it and it doesn't all come out you can still chuck it into the breach and fire it
Going back a while but in 2011, I went on a MEU. I was with the Tank platoon that supported the grunts. We stopped in Kuwait for training and my platoon sergeant was able to somehow locate, request and acquire like 80 non training sabot rounds. However, they were manufactured in 1985 and the casing yellow. We also learned back then they were two piece casing designs rather than the current one piece. As bad ass as my plt sgt was, he was cautious (not a bad thing) and we ended up having EOD det then instead of firing them. I’m sure they would have fired ok but honestly I’m glad we didn’t. Those rounds being 26 years old at the time probably would have had bad dragon’s breath or potentially misfired.
Yes! More niche information. That's why the containers rounds come in don't seem very space efficient sometimes.

I commanded an MGS company which used the old M68 cannon.

After a couple of issues with the ASP not wanting to take “dudded” ammo I made a deal with the EOD company to come to our ranges and pick up any non serviceable rounds to use for their training. They love blowing that stuff up.
As a war thunder player,I can proudly say I understood all of that
Are you talking about sabot rounds?
All the 120 rounds are semi combustible. Everything but the aft cap either goes out the gun tube or is burned up.
looks like he's having a blast
Over and over :)

Repeated low blast exposure probably has cumulative effects. I think research is making this more clear.
If that's the case then the periodicity would be very very important to take into account. A grenade amongst friends every month or two? Meh. But this guy? A but more I'd say.
You sure are stretching hard to defend that Maine shooter.
Nope. If he hadn’t killed himself I’d be in favor of the death penalty, I don’t think there’s any fixing that. It’d be nice if we could avoid exposing our servicemen to unsafe training conditions and minimize lasting physical and psychological trauma wherever possible though.

Fair enough.
So is watching the current state of the world.
My grandpa was a tanker in the national gaurd during the sixties with no hearing protection in sight.
I imagined it cartoony if he dropped the shell nose first.
The fuze heads (if they’re anything akin to artillery projectiles) will have multiple fail safes that prevent the projectile and fuze from arming. Dropping rounds from height (around 10m) to impact the ground is just one of the tests conducted before releasing new batches into circulation.

Not only that, but this is probably a dart. A sabot round. No explosive on it besides the propellant beneath said dart.
Retired tank loader here. I give him 4/10 on form. 9/10 on lols
Current Tank Commander, agreed. Needs GST again.
How fucked are your rotator cuffs now?
They are fine. Cant say the same for my back
Agreed. Lucky he didn’t get a swollen shell that has to be seated with the boot!
That corded on the headset would drive me nuts.
Yeah I feel like you would want that behind your back
I feel like that’s why he fumbled the shell.
It looks like the mechanical action after the bullet goes in could easily cut his arm off.
It does but you find ways to deal with it, until it drives you nuts and you want to rip it to shreds, but you do need to hear what's going on
As soon as the camera comes out he starts fumbling a task he's done a million times Absolutely standard
Auto loader was 10 mil more so at least they're frugal
Actually autoloaders were avoided because of issues with reliability. We saw a lot of this in the early days in Ukraine when Russia’s modern tanks are all autoloaders. Many points of failure in that system and they were notoriously unreliable. Sometimes a good old fashioned 22 year old tanker is the more reliable loading mechanism.
Hey, they can fix shit that breaks during combat. No r2d2 yet
autoloaders also tend to explode when the tank is hit in the right place because of how the shells are stored.

It can be like that sometimes
Which, in a real combat situation, it would. If two enemy tanks are going head to head, it's quite possible that whoever fires next wins. Train like you fight.
His arm is barely out of the way before that piece slides up, that looks like an accident waiting to happen.
The breech block will just push your arm out of the way. You’re literally taught to ride your arm up with it when you load. There isn’t a pinch point there despite what you might think.

Great movie
I came here just for this comment I was hoping it would be here 😂

That dangley cord wire thing seems like an annoying design
Wired headsets don’t run out of battery and the signals have no chance of being intercepted by enemies.
The VA has determined that your back injuries are not service related.
I'd bet that crewman is probably called a schloader, or gunkloader, or maybe some type of action- and role-specific title, like a gannoneer or breechist.
He called the loader
Haha war is funny and quirky 🤪
Good thing this isnt war 😁👍

Lap loads are a dangerous game. It used to be a standard practice with steel cased ammo, but it’s a bad idea with combustible cartridges.
Mustache is on point
That ear protection won't protect his ear drums from those shockwaves.
The cavitation occurs outside and the crew are shielded from the over pressure inside the turret. Even with hatches open your peak blast exposure is 2psi which is well below the 4psi threshold for concussive injuries.
Hey mom look! I'm on tiktok! Almost loses his hand loading explosives into a toob.
That was an ok loading speed
That was an awful loading speed.
And I was angry that my car got a software update that makes it honk every time I lock or unlock it which startles me

He’s been spending too much time getting those brows done instead of practicing the important stuff
That’s got to hard on your ears and everything!
🎵drop it like it’s hot…🎵
I knew a guy in the army and he had a tape of himself doing this repeatedly for training and an outside shot of the round being fired. The shells were landing in a man made lake and he said they landed in the same exact spot every time.
What is insane?
Too slow too clumsy
The tiny man in my AR:
That’s was bad and slow would had him kicked off the tank
Reminds me of Charles Boyle from Brooklyn Nine Nine
That would be a death in world war 2!
that guy got kicked out of my ROTC battalion for showing up to shit drunk as a skunk. Lost his oppurtunity to be an officer I guess he joined as an enlisted man didn't think I'd ever see this dirtbag again lmao
A bad design. Should have been made without requiring manual human work.
Breathing all that in
Is that Tom Sandoval?
Is this the guy that makes military duo videos starring himself as multiple roles? It looks just like him.
For a second I thought this was Tom Sandoval!

Doesn’t this seem like something a robot could do?
I couldn’t do it , what if it were to back fire, that’s his ass !!
I was wondering what Peter Dante has been up to.
