Degroat's 90mm cannon

[elsamuraiguapo]

To think that a mobile suit has 2x these on its head and fires fully automatic, and that's one of it's weakest weapons.

[anjohnel]

They are shooting a pile of mosquito :)

[capsbr]

Too bad, a great opportunity for a great footage, but the camera angle didn't help... Can't even see where they're shooting at.

[cwross1976]

the israelis used that same sighting method to actually kill arab tanks way back when...

[IIIJFRIII]

Epic win!

[Fallout3ispwn]

reason the chinese wont invade, right here...

[JrGuacamoles]

God Bless the American second Amendment

[Snipe4261]

I hope the guy who owns this gun has it becasue he has a lot of disposable income and not because he thinks hes going to need it for something. Of course, if I had the money to thow down on something like this I would do it.

[sgtsn1per]

this i why i want to move from Australia to America

[terminator0405]

can i buy one of the big bullets? Pleeeeeeease? pretty please?

[bananasofthesea]

holy shit this guy owns an artillery gun

[nevonja]

gues what

this is dangereus

[gladio4ever]

1) Why the HELL is the huy looking out the barrel, has he no aiming scope ????

2) are those solid shells he is firing?

[ExoticSpotting]

@gladio4ever They're probably solid. If they were explosive he would have to register them individually and pay a $200 tax on each shell.

[gladio4ever]

@ExoticSpotting Wow ... that is steep...

[ExoticSpotting]

@gladio4ever I know. But then again, if you can drop tens of thousands of dollars on an artillery piece, you could probably afford to shoot a couple off every once in a while.

[gladio4ever]

@ExoticSpotting

Hmmm ... true...

But to do that then the owner should probably invest in a real sight/spotting scope instead of using such an archaic way to sight the weapon...

[My49ers4life]

@gladio4ever Yes they are solid shot 90mm M77 APBC. No high explosive filler just solid AP.

[gladio4ever]

@My49ers4life

hmmm.... do you need a firearms licence for that varmint rifle ?

[My49ers4life]

@gladio4ever Haha it's not mine. I have nothing to do with this cannon. I just recognized the ammo they were using. Look up 90mm M77 APBC on google. It was one of the standard AP rounds used in WW2.

[Wargoat6]

That. Is. Hot.

[aurick7737]

i love rednecks ...i mean americans!

[shilpinator]

only man with a mustache could have such a gun

[jjohnston94]

@shilpinator LMAO

[shilpinator]

@jjohnston94 its true :) ahahhaah

[iodineclip]

looks like fun !

[BAYAREA4150]

looks like dumb little ants playing with big ass artillery

[t1msguitar]

@BAYAREA4150 You're retarded nancy boy.

[55grainFMJ]

That was my first KCR shoot! I was standing right by the range but was not paying attention to what they were doing. It felt like the earth moved under my feet when that thing went off.

[IHIoMiCiDe]

see my question is..where did they find 90mm ammo for that/

[ddmo2]

Can I borrow that for the next deer season? please?

[peashooter101]

lol, I don't think there would be much deer left.

[urss2]

actually some of russain tank can load a missile on their canon (BMP1,2,3 T-80 T90.....

[300Acera]

@urss2

The US was doing that years ago. The Sheridan, a tank used by the Airborne forces could shoot a anti tank missile out of it's main gun tube. The slave state had to follow the Americans here also...............

[MrJackBOOTJacker]

@urss2 The US Sheridan was able to do the same thing.

[slt223]

@urss2 The M551 Sheridan tank developed by the US could fire missle and cannon rounds from the same barrel. It entered service in 1967.

[panicoanimal]

fuck you litle fuckr..

[jokerethan]

dragginham...shut the **** up you drunk ass redneck :D

[panicoanimal]

its look like misile of a tank...

[theguy5550]

tanks dont shoot missiles you moron

[Dogslovetrucks]

While it's main gun could fire traditional projectiles, the M551 Sherridan is by design, a missle tank

[CMDRFandragon]

and while they are at it w/ a privately owned Cannon..lets see a privately owned Tank of sorts there cuttin loose w/ some rounds haha

King Tiger ftw

[ToonandBBfan]

The guy in the green shirt was having the time of his life "absorbing" the shockwaves off the cannon - LOL

5 star video - Thanks

[Nick3889]

Were the hell do you get a 90mm cannon??????

[carlosmurphy4u]

I REALLY want ta tow one a those through town behind my off road Ranger but I don't live in KalEfornia sos not many folk round here would give it a second thought.

NEVADA, one of the REAL AMERICAN states.

[magnum9987]

I want one. Tell me where to get one. NOW!

[Relic350]

You're suppost to use math and basic optics to aim those ya idiots!

[agentx250]

the elevation was too high i didnt even see/hear the rounds hitting the ground infront of the enplacement

[ruzacru]

American idiots!!!

They don't know how to mount gun on ground !!!

[dragginham]

maybe not but at least here in America we are allowed to own such guns, what other country can you personally own artillery? oh thats right NO WHERE so shut your fucking mouth you sheep!

[walrus98]

are you actually allowed to privately own these types of guns in america?

[digitalphr33k]

well, as u can hear from the other guns firing its not private. even so, probably not

[dragginham]

Yes you can. there are other guns firing because its at a machine gun shoot

[trucker765]

yep, good ol' 2nd amendment

[VonMudra]

Yep, but you have to go through an incredible amount of licensing and background checks, plus police dept approval and fingerprinting, and they cost as much as a several cars :P

[nyoxer]

sigh..... that would never get old

[Jake9123]

fuck yea field guns! love em...

[finalascent]

The DeGroats couldn't make it to the 'Shoot this year... Someone brought a 76mm fieldpiece which was still pretty cool to see being fired.

[iratecabbie]

For duck hunting!

[mencken]

Seriously. Dude. You DON'T want to see that duck.

[famguy1z1]

i want one!

[DurbanpoisonXskunk]

I want a cannon damnit, I'd shoot that lame ass kid that posted that comment bitching about people having cool shit

[michaelwright999]

where this filmed, and how much did the gun cost to buy ? and per round ?

[ElPresidente101]

I know the place is Knob Creek, you can shoot practically anything down there

[Nowobimbo]

oh! you think you magnum have a to small caliber?....don´t worry buy a cannon.

[tinoboy99]

YAY TUNGSTEN 90MM or iron or metal

[hammy2005]

1:52! I would not be standing on that thing :O

[jackylcale]

hehehe

[FotoZ4FX]

Blah, Blah, Blah... Quit rationalizing about private ownership.  It's not like he's shooting YOUR truck... or WAS that yours?!

Damn... Sorry about that Dude.

[samuel1776]

I am all for shooting, hunting and collecting weapons but why in the name of God would anyone want a cannon? How can this even be legal? Why would the govenment allow something like this in private hands?

[AreThereNoMoreNames]

Why? Because he wants one.

Legal? Yes, there's a $200 destructive device tax on this.

Why wouldn't the government allow it? They allow people to build cars that make ridiculous amounts of power, buildings that are dangerously tall, alcohol that's strong enough to kill a man with a single glass, and other things far more dangerous. More people have been killed driving in NASCAR than private cannons, so if you want to ban this, you'd better ban NASCAR first.

[261madmike]

He who has the biggest toy wins. Ha Ha.

[GreenCacktus]

Its a shame the T-8 90mm AT gun came out late during WWII, it was obviously a response to the german PaK 43 88mm Long barrel, which had longer range than the T-8.

[iceland2000]

How is this gentleman with the fine moustache?

The disco bear?

[TenFourOver]

using your fist to load it! He will loose his hand one day. FOOL

[kimmer6]

OK...got it. THE T-8. DTA folks at Knob Creek, right? Load your own, HA! Must be nice to have connections and get the factory stuff.

[kimmer6]

Looks like AP ammo. Way cool! Do you load your own? Just plain awsome. Probably not Kalifornia legal, though....a red rubber band here is considered a Destructive Device. Co$tly shots, I bet.

[heypete1]

The ammo is almost certainly hand-loaded. Being that it's greater than .50 caliber, it's regulated as an NFA weapon (a Destructive Device, in particular). California essentially does not allow NFA items, so it's not California legal.

[TubeBent]

Can you imagine if the Virginia Tech killer had this???

[psucadet]

Actually yes...I can...and I can imagine him dying very quickly and not killing nearly as many people given the time and resources necessary to place this weapon system in a position able to inflict that number of casualties in a civilian environment which would have made finding him blatantly obvious. Think before you comment.

[disturbedone5009]

yeah he would be dead very quick or tired. can you imagine trying to carry that up the stairs of the building? dumbass

[iloveitaly1]

holy fucking shit i want one cann i barrow it after chuckeieo lol

[chuckeieio]

Nice toy! Can i borrow it next weekend?

[auto9898]

where do they get the ammo for this stuff if you are a civilian?

[heypete1]

You can buy cases for it surplus from the military, and then load your own ammo. Cases can be reused numerous times.
