Allegedly a 9.2” gun but not sure which version

This shows why they could only fire about 6 rounds per minute. We’ve come a long way since then!
Bytencoder
They would mostly not hit anything way back then, regardless of firing speed.
RomanLegionary
In this era, late 19th century, battle ranges were very close. So they did indeed hit things.
Durahl
Now imagine the one by the 800mm Schwerer Gustav ( Heavy Gustav ) Railway Cannon firing so slow you basically count in Rounds Per Day ( 14 )
Apothecarius
I expected it to be all steamy and smokey when it opened.
Bobnotch
Very cool when you think of all the machined parts in that assembly. Then you think about the available tooling in 1889 to make it.
morgan0073
They made this in 1889. Shit, I can't even make a pen with my lathe
Curii
Soooooo going to credit the source and the guy who took the footage? I ask considering I was standing behind the camera man in this vid? :)

As a machinist, I'd hate to tackle this with a shop full of CNC. Imagine plain bearings, line shafts, steam power, carbon tool steel ...

mmm steam power.

Too bad it is slower than a three legged turtle
JustSomeDudeInMichigan
That’s really slow if you have to reload quick
Ironbunny
Compared to the alternative at the time that was blazing fast
So I looked it up this is from an 1889 naval ship so for its time it was fast as hell by today’s standards it’s pretty slow
You also need to move a 400 lbs shell and powder, do the breach isn’t the slow part of operation.
And large like this naval artillery is for prolonged periods of salvo firing, not quick action. Smaller guns for that
NachoDamnDaddy
You can't fire them very fast anyways. It'll get too hot and cook off the next charge you put in it.
Radix865
I'd also imagine they need time to aim again after each shot, the ship being on water and all.
EricAirheart
They didn’t have shiny things back in the 1880, everything was black and white. Have you seen the pictures.
AllTimeTired
thought they painted everything in the 70s

I believe that there are no exceptions listed on that sign

Pretty sure that piece (Or one striking similar) is at DCC Shrivenham, which is a training academy, public by booking iirc.

Hello HAVS.
That looks healthy
A healthy shaft indeed c:
fredlllll
wonderful mechanism, but sooo slow
AncientPostNecromancer
This is modified to be hand powered but it would be mechanically actuated in a turret installation.
TheWarHymn
If I'm trying to hold back 25 tons per square inch of pressure, I think I'll want to do it properly.
KingAardvark1st
They were more concerned with strong than fast. Plus, this was leagues faster than any muzzleloader.
LordAurion
That breech weighs a good 300+ pounds.
NekoMiko06
Modern interrupted screw designs have improved considerably, allowing more thread for less turn which allows for a shorter screw
fake40nedeso
Automation helps. https://youtu.be/wlKlW1-7c5A it’s just "paintballs" (6") compared to 16". Would be interested in a 8" from CA-134 video
Also making it conical instead of cylindrical allows you to swing the screw on a hinge instead of pulling it out
Keddar
Phrasing!
wadeMFNwilson
Ever seen a gun explode? Now imagine a naval shell
MillenniumFalcon
See that outpost 18mi away? You won't soon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BL_18-inch_Mk_I_naval_gun
Well you wouldn't see it anyways, as you can only see about 12 miles(~19 km) before the horizon gets in the way...
"Gunner, do you see that outpost?" - "Yes, Sir." - "I don't want to." - "Understood, Sir."
I like the cut of your jib +1

Good thing he puts his hearing protection on AFTER the round is fired... go navy
Narfwak
the machinery is probably louder than the round being fired. I know in tanks at least it's not actually that loud in the turret when firing
That’s actually amazing. I guess it needs to be pretty well sealed haha
