A Guide to Tank Ammo | Koala Explains: Tank Ammunition Types and their Differences
Tanks have come a long way since their debut in the first world war, and as the vehicles have gotten more advanced, so too have the ammunition types available to them. In this episode of Koala Explains, we’ll go over briefly each type of ammunition used, from solid AP slugs, to tandem shaped charge warheads and fin stabilised sabot rounds.

This sounded like groundskeeper Willie was lecturing me about tank shells and i enjoyed it.
🐨🐨🐨
that was interesting but i came wonderding what good are telescoped rounds for 😅
Dude…………. You talk so damn fast……SLOW DOWN
APFSDS aka Danger Darts
Awesome video.

Re: smooth bore barrels. While I understand that smooth bore is necessary for modern fin stabilized ammo doesnt it reduce the effectiveness of HE ammo which each tank still wants to be able to deliver?

I love how tanks basically throw lawn darts at eachother
What the fuck is armor piercing English?
Does this hurt the potatoes? 🥔
i need to develops a heshfs shell
What language are you speaking??
You didn’t mention cannister rounds.
i advise people to look at to look up armor penetration simulation as it shows how the shell penetrates armor, for example how capped and non-capped projectiles perform against angled armor
"APHE shells were quickly rendered obosolete"
Gaijin: No. No i don’t think i will.
What i understood from this and war thunder:
AP tipes: makes a hole and sometime explodes in the tank
APHE and HEAT: explosive injection for the enemy
HE: Just explodes
APFSDS: a fukcing arrow
APDS: that little kid that brokes your balls
Shrapnel: launch some iron balls in the tank.
HESH: wants to gift you some shockwave
What the f is your accent?
I thought the copper in a shaped change, formed a liquid hypersonic jet.
See ya don’t need DP rounds for M1A2 to A,3. Your welcome people .

Russian tank ammo is incredible. It’s so efficient. No need to waste time firing the rounds; they just blow up the Russian tank they are already stored in.
proximnity fuse was awesome its like a mini radar made strong enough to survive being fired with like vacum tubes. they had to make sure it didn’t activate during travel so the switch to start it activates when they were spun reely fast from the rifeling. these fuses were also used in artilery to make airbust rounds as the radar can bounce off the ground too not just planes, so they didn’t need to do the math to make timers work for airburst.

Make a vedio explaining various types of armour protection.
I know he has a water mark on his video, but you also could have actually taken the time to credit the minute historians video when you used his visuals. A simple text over the video like "Credit too Minute Historian". Otherwise I really enjoyed this video. Well explained and thought out. It’s clear you spent a lot of time and effort to research the rounds.
10:03 unless you’re the french working on the AMX-30, then you spend a bunch of money to put ball-bearings in your HEAT rounds to make the case spin from the rifling while the explosive inside remains static. Wack
You forgot the ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP round
Not Me high af thinking this would be a war thunder video
aaaaand we’re back to spears
You should be an audiobook narrator, i would buy them all! Great voice! Thanks for learning me about tank (rounds)
I can’t wait to use this knowledge in my War thunder exam
I wonder if some boozed-up engineer cooked up a HESH shell that self-rotates to work with smooth-bore guns.
There’s one more variant of AP rounds, ones made of depleted uranium. It had a self sharpening effect unlike other metals that would become blunt as they hit the armor.
HESH was nerfed.
All war, is the cull of the poor, for the profit & pleasure of the rich
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ here’s an alphabet for little kids
The video that gaijin used to make War Thunder
1:04 Was soll die Scheiße?
capped ap actually can not make the ammo
turns to the normal of sloped armor，it just reduce the angle that it turns against the normal of sloped armor while penetrating compared with ap. Otherwise will the sloped armor be less effective than armor that have the same horizontal thickness, is that true? Look at those soviet IS heavy tanks.

Besh.
Just wait for railguns. Steel rod with wolframium tip, dart-shaped, purely kinetical penetration, even of sloped armor.
And then someone invents magnetic deflectors.
Irish or Irish?
me who plays wot and only knows 5 shell types
🅱️ 3 5 h
I learned all this from playing world of tanks
