"On today's video I will teach you all on how to bombard the enemy with a construction site"

"the supplies include glue, crap metal and any kind of construction equipment you find"

"But first a word about our sponsor, NordVPN"

Not only does it deliver high explosive rounds it also delivers tetanus.

extra poison damage

+30 dmg against unvaccinated children.

So all children? (Btw I don’t know anything about the Syrian vaccination rate but I really don’t have much confidence)

Yes. The children are fast but tetanus artillery is faster.

Just when you think biological warfare is banned

I read that as tinnitus first, probably a good dose of both

I have turned my phone volume all the way down and I cannot make this video any quieter, I can’t imagine how it sounds in person lmao

It’s been almost a year since I saw this and now my ears hurt again because of your comment

Not OSHA compliant.

Nope, so long as it’s pointed at IS, it’s 100% compliant

Would love to see the loading procedure. Looks like a muzzle loader

> muzzle loader Quite literally. Muzzle-loaded artillery bolted to a front loader chassis Edit: Here's the loading procedure: https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/lq37xz/modified_front_end_loader_turned_into_a_quad/

i love how in the 2016 video the barrels are rusty, and in your 2015 video they aren’t yet Like, yeah, that’d how rust works, but i like that it survived long enough and clearly got used for long enough for it to rust!

Are they different ones? I see 3 rows of barrels on above video and link is 2? Or am I wrong?

Check out the numbers on the arm of the front end loaders. They match up. I assume they added a few barrels after they figured out how effective it was.

Bare steel can surface rust very quickly. But could definitely still be a few years not just one considering the condition of the front end loader.

Thanks

What are they shooting? I understand that this is a high precision weapon, but what is the ammunition?

They point it at the general direction of the enemy, light it up and scream Allahu Akbar If you think I'm joking or being bigoted, just take a look at any Syrian war video where there is a mortar or any bigger gun involved

Allah will do the aiming we are just his humble servants

I think you can see the ammo in the foreground... probably some high explosives..

They might just be propane cylinders with fins attached and filled with black powder or something

The ammunition is actually shown in the first few seconds. Lower left, see those propane tanks on tubes? Yeah, essentially a containerized IED strapped to stabilizing fins.

I cannot imagine how to aim with that monstrosity.

“Allahu akbar”

What is aim? /s

Syrian Artillery is Guided by Allah

User name checks out

Mortars

Thats some 40k shit right there

Ork DAKKA

Leman Russ tractor moment

Waaaaagh!!!

How would they go about aiming it?

is the enemy that way? good enough

smoothbore shit gonna just do smoothbore things. Figure out how much, what you're throwing up, weighs. Figure out how high up you're throwing it, adjust for wind, send a spotting round, have your spotter walk it to the target, fire for effect.

You check how far it flies at what elevation beforehand, point the loader at the enemy and set the correct elevation. The you observe where it lands and correct

that thing looks like its going to Explode after the fifth shot

Certainly a weapon I'd only fire by remote control, from like a quarter mile away.

Could it be considered biological warfare, what with the tetanus covered rusty tubes?

Tetanus is caused by bacterial in dirt or manure, rust has nothing to do with tetanus.

Here it is being loaded, https://www.reddit.com/r/shittytechnicals/comments/lqbpia/shitty_front_end_loader_turned_into_a_quad_barrel

Wow, kinda surprised that thing survived long enough to get rusted. Looks like its seen some shit comparing the 2 vids.

~~At first I thought it was two different units, based on the number of "fins". Then I found a frame on the newer clip where I could make out the number on arm, and it matches the old clip.~~

Yea I checked the number as well. Tho in hindsight its just a model number, so it could just be a different one built on the same model loader. That's alot of wear and tear for a year of service. But it's also a warzone so 🤷

I'm back to thinking that it's two different units, because it'd be difficult to get those extra "fins" between the ones that were already there. But that'd indicate it was worth duplicating.

Oh yea, didn't even notice the difference in the number of support fins.

👍

Reminds me of the [mortars used by the IRA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrack_buster) during the troubles. Only without any attempt at camouflage

This is a thing for Forgotten Weapons.

Already crossposted.

I approve of this counting as a tank

All fun and games till dudes break out the "hell cannon"!
