If a HE shell was loaded could he shoot down the barrel

No.
A .45 won't function the fuze on a 88mm HE Sprgr Patr 43 AZ23/28
It was impact sensitive after firing, but before it's armed it is safe.
The .45 slug would have to hit directly on the flat point of the fuze, travel through the wooden hammer block and drive the firing pin hard enough to overcome the 5 centrifugal detents to impinge the primer.
>so picrelated No.

>>32175107
wow a decent post on /k/.

thats rare

It would have to be an incendiary 45. APC round, it would have to hit the primer, or pierce the side of the shell and ignite the powder.

He'd have much better odds with a grenade

Or a P-51 (tankbusters)

>>32175116
i remember that being debunked as fake.

t72 breach is always closed and a grenade wouldnt do shit to the barrel

Still EODfag
The 'side' of the cartridge case is in the chamber.
The projectile fills the bore to the driving band - that's what a driving band does - it gets jammed into the rifling to spin the projo.
Even a mythical .45 Incendiary can't get past the shoulder of the projo, down along the sides against the rifling, then cut through a double driving band of copper to get to the cartridge case to then burn through the brass to the propellant underneath.
.45 was only Ball (FMJ) and Tracer and tracer won't burn through that amount of copper or the brass
>still Nope sorry

Yeah still EODFag
US WW2 Grenade Frag MkII was filled with 2 ounces of either TNT or EC blank rifle propellant.
It was just enough to spilt the castiron pineapple body into frag, not to cut through the Fuze as per first picrelated or drive that firing pin.
Grenade functioning against the shoulder of the fuze might just transfer through the gap at the fuze threads and detonate the Amatol fill in the projo, but that might wreck the breech by overpressure instead of just venting radially by wrecking the barrel
>picrelated ouch but breech still held
>still prettymuch unlikely but not entirely Nope

>>32175125
What of they had just opened the breech to load a shell?

>>32175346
Clank.
Creak.
Zzzing! Ping! Poing!
"Scheisse!"

>saw thread
>wanted to post similar
>he even got a chart in English

Would the sizable debris in the barrel cause any issue or would it be ejected harmlessley upon firing?

>>32175002
where do you faggots come from?

Depends on the exact nature of the debris in question. A serious enough barrel obstruction could cause a number of problems, but it likely wouldn't cause a premature detonation. You wouldn't want to fire, or else you'd very likely REALLY mess up the gun.

Debris in barrel can cause damage
Down near chamber will cause in-bore premature like >>32175207 pic related
Debris at muzzle - common if barrel hits trees etc charging through Ardennes or pushing into buildings as ambush hides etc - causes bulging/ splitting like cartoon BugsBunny thumb in Fudd's shotgun.
WW2 Germans would put 4 prescored notches in muzzle to permit controlled split that could continue firing in emergency
Went to investigate barrel explosion in an M1 Abrams once. Bulge at end of tube like a dogknot, muzzle measurement toy smashed, barrel a write off unable to be used because front of bulge was a constriction so unable to fire again
>numbnuts Captain and crew had left boresight in muzzle after zeroing before firing
German prenotching immer besser

I wonder if a couple of guys with sledgehammers could jump up and start hammering the shit out of the barrel, if a couple dozen or so heavy blows would be enough to worry the crew enough that they'd willingly take it out of action...

That's what the tank's machineguns and friends are for.

>>32175107
>Wooden hammer

What is this, 1960?

>>32175107
If ever there was a FPBP, this is it.

>>32175002
No need, he has .45ACP

>>32175107
nicely done

>>32175125
I can see shrapnel being an issue. Might cause an overpressure situation when they fire.

Still probably wouldn't injure the crew, but you could conceivably disable the gun if you got lucky.

>>32175107
Bravo!

Ways a .45acp 1911 could still blow the shell:

>gun travels @.1c then fires

Damn, a quality post

Its been a while since Ive seen one of these
