No, for an armoured vehicle with a semi-automatic loader, that's insanely roomy.

Now spend 24hrs~ in it during the seering heat and no orders are to shit outside.
Hahah i was a driver for one of those :v:
And let me tell you, drivers cabin is really cramped. Also the seat there is just metal plate with some cushion. Also steering is the old-school 2 stick system. Not to mention unsynchronised gearbox.
Most of the time its just sitting in the cabin for hours waiting for order to move out or to eat.

Well the shitting part is easy, but only comfort in the drivers cabin is just small fan that most of the time broke because in FDF they thought it would be good idea to change the steel propellers to rubber which breaks easily.
I'd be so scared of losing a limb when that thing flies back
I love how the commander swears after almost every shot :v:

Yeah what if you hit a bump just as that thing fires and you fall behind it?

It's a self-propelled artillery, I don't think it was meant to fire while driving.

there's a built in safety that stops it from recoiling back if it detects something in its path, pretty neat stuff
im just kidding you'd be dead as fuck lol
[QUOTE=kepper;44224677]That looks incredibly cramped and uncomfortable.[/QUOTE]
There's worse. I don't remember which, but I remember there was one T-series tank that was feared more by the crew than by the enemy due to it's moving parts and being cramped.

Yeah as it has been said, tanks are worse.
I don't get what's happening with the loading, is the shell loaded then the propellant? Seems to make sense, having them separate would prevent cookoff

I'm pretty sure the Challenger II loads the shell then propellant, too, though that's me going off on a huge tangent.
I've always been curious: where do you put the empty shells when you're firing them off quickly? I'd imagine you just stack them right where you got them from.

They fall down and roll around the floor.
Gotta love the sound that the shell makes when it bounces out.

Funny little story. To make sure the chieftain was fit for service, the British had a crew spend a week inside the tank buttoned up. The only time they opened the hatch was for one guy to have his finger stiched when he cut it loading the gun.

Yes. The L11 has its charge loaded separately. The charge case also combusts when the gun is fired.
The guys yells "Two hundred......twenty......two!" right before they fire expect for the last one where he just yells "Fire!" Anyone know why that is?

If there's a battery, they have to maintain proper pause between each piece fires, so they count seconds down out loud. Last in line before them fires - commander begins the count down, and then the gunner fires. Why "two hundred... twenty... two!" (ДВЕСТИ||ДВАДЦАТЬ||ДВА!) - it's because the time you have to pronounce it properly is in line with the countdown.
Russian soldiers also tought to pronounce "twenty two" (ДВАДЦАТЬ|ДВА) when firing in short bursts with AK rifles that don't have burst fire mode. To ensure the right number of shots by controlling the time.

I see, thanks for the explanation comrade.

The equivalent of saying "One Mississippi, two Mississippi, ..."
At least they have a little breech guard

I think it varies from tank to tank but I remember seeing one that drops them out the back and it looks like it is pooping them out
I love the clunk and ringing noise that comes from the empty shell ejecting. Reminds me of star wars ep 3 when those 2 ships are firing their cannons at each other, pirate ship style.
The Abrams ejects them either out the back, side or top I believe.
what does that guy say every time it fires lol
it sounds like he's saying "ah mother fuck" each time but in russian

Correct.
The name of that gun is dangerously close to to my last name. I need this in my home.
4th word is nahuy, video is confirmed as being russian
