Fireworks testing Container

[alboneMS3]

12 inch FTW!

[omer66gs]

NOW TRY A FUCKING 48 INCH

LMAO

XD

[heffernjustinheffy]

ok the first 12 inch shell was totally explainable for the damage it did becasuethat side was weakened by all of the other shells that hit it first 

[siqbrah]

the 12 inch shell could fuck some shit up.

[TheTomahawkJock]

the 12 inch shell did work

[Zugvogel1]

I not really wonder...

Why ?

when you look that they used at End a 12 inch. Ball.Batteships during WW-2 had most 38 cm to 42 cm Artillery (about 15 inch to 16,5 inch).. .As Sencondary they had most 20 cm (8 inch)....

o.k A Granade is not the same like a Firework but it have also Explosives and speed.That together make the vigor of the Bullet.And the first 12 inch was a perfect Timed Explosion.When you see the other you can see that the first hit,deforming and then Explode ,most Energy is lost.

Fuck yeah!!! That's what I'm putting on the back of my truck!

[tacticalxd45]

Jeez...what a lucky fucking job to score!!!!

[rg7488]

try a 48 inch shell just for the hell of it

[Outlawjankooo]

Jesus christ that 10 inch shell is Evil : p

[tquix94]

Don´t you mean the 12 inch shell?? Cuz that is Ultimate!

[Outlawjankooo]

Yeah i mean the 12 inch shell:D

[gtfosteven]

holy shit!

[Fermonos1]

lol imgine a 32inch shell they would be nothing left :)

[fuqdisshit]

lesson and moral of the story don't aim 12" mortars (or any mortars) at a holding container lol at least not with me inside.

[nanaimoion]

fuckin huge hole in the container priceless

[METAL1ON]

depends on what type of shell is fired , yes the 12" breached the container but if a 10 or 8 with a different payload that required a higher burst height was fired at the container then perhaps they would destroy it also what about large salute shells?

Btw what an amazing video seeing shells launch and impact like that was stunning , must have used avery fast camera. 5*

[TheNorternDude]

Really nice information for me ,a test with the shells inside would be even more interesting :)

5* from me !

[silendshade]

I wonder what caused that first 12 inch shell to detonate (or whatever it did).

[mantinori]

When you look at the high speed footage, you can see the shell turn as it heads for the container. When it hit, the timer fuses were facing the container and got pushed into the shell. It exploded as it hit the side and caused the huge bang.

At least that seems to be the most plausible theory.

[jgleim]

I saw the actual, raw footage from the APA... All the shells actually detonated on impact with the container. Remember, the primary component is gun powder... and even as stable as shells are, they are still impact sensitive. When the shells hit the side of the container, the impact was enough to detonate them. The 12" simply had enough mass coupled with the detonation that it compromised the side of the container. Lesson Learned: Don't use 12" shells on a barge show! :-)

[drchen054]

@mantinori I think you are right about the ignition. That shell probably exploded its flash powder charge right at the deepest point of indentation. Tight direct contact is like holding a firecracker tight with your fists.

[drchen054]

@drchen054 I mean the other shells just spilled their guts upon impact after denting it. As a result, there was a deflageration of spilled powder. but this shell 12 incher stayed intact when it exploded.

[OMGitsCharliie]

its not really a fair test, because your using the same container for each shot, therefore the container becomes weaker

[AllisterCaine]

thats the case- if you put force on steel repeatedly, it gets weaker in its structure until it fails.

[XTRUTHDRUMSX]

@OMGitsCharliie exactly!



[threebuddies]

Imagin being in the container when the 12 inch. shell shot.

[theitalian556]

I'd shit my pants!

[threebuddies]

love hight speed fireworks

[staroflaw]

Nice
