Most sensible countries don't allow the general public ownership or access to fully operational military grade weapons and ammunition. There are certain places in the UK where under strict control military weapons and explosives can be used for demonstration or filming purposes. Ownership of deactivated or even reproduction weapons means strict rules and tons of paperwork. The whole series as much as I like it is contrived and obviously aimed at the American market. Freddie was a genuine para having fought in Afghanistan and it took some convincing to get him to tell of his experiences. What we know about Bruce's military career is zero but for some reason he does prefer wearing American airborne regiment paraphernalia rather than British. Freddie has a well earned chest full of medals which he wears on appropriate occasions but Bruce doesn't seem to have any. He's made in recent years a number of parachute drops the last of which went badly wrong and nearly killed him. I love the programme but it's best to treat it as it is, entertainment.

It’s a blank, the explosions are from gasoline

It’s amazing how many people think these guns are actually firing. And from what it looks like it has a replacement engine in it. Kind of like their electric start Panther that works 100% of the time. While some late war tanks had electric starters they were extremely unreliable.

Are you kidding me? An operating cannon in private hands? Like everyone notes the shells are 2-3 seconds slow, the shell explosions look like a buried Forcite stick and the 'shell's fuse' is activated by striking thin plywood and cardboard? With that first round (6:47), shouldn't the 'round' have ploughed a furrow maybe deflect and hit the neighbour's pig shed (fresh bacon)? That poor Bren carrier didn't even get a blossomed hole. Still, Bruce should be awarded an Emmy for 'Special Effects'

it was powerfull

A story of 2 Shermans. ...... My family had a country house in South Devon, high on a hill overlooking a valley. ...... About a mile and a half away lived a man who looked like an 18th century aristocrat, and had a 3 ton bronze cannon on a huge oak gun carriage. ...... It was raised from HMS Association, which sunk in a gale in 1707 off the Scilly Islands, off West Cornwall. ...... His favourite party trick was to load it with black powder and carpet wadding, and fire it. ...... Every time he did so, the windows at Cleeve would rattle, infuriating my father. ...... He was a WW2 submarine officer on HMS Torbay, in charge of the 4 inch gun used in surface actions, and no longer keen on loud bangs, having been parly deafened by them during the war. Someone offered me 2 Shermans when I was in my late teens. ...... I forget if it was £500 the pair or each, but I dreamed of mounting one each end of the terrace, and firing back! ...... My mother owned the house, and had herself served in WW in FANY, involved in French Section, Special Operations Executive - of which she said precisely nothing - I connected the dots after she died. ...... Although part of the US 29th Division had been camped in the local village in 1944, and had shot small arms on the 1908 Territorial Force rifle range in our meadows, my mother was not impressed by the idea of 2 Shermans parked on her terrace!

Another Sherman! There so many of them I seen one on a used car lot clearance sale!!!

Sherman : F why is 88mm here Panther next door : idk

Do you have any M48Patton in your garage?, I would love love love love to see it

My great grandpa was in the 4th armored

No recoil , that means black powder blank , and someone blew a hole in the target with remote explosive . Real Hollywood , I like it .

Doesn't matter what country you from, big guns make men happy lol

I didn't see the barrel recoil at all! And when they fire the rocks a bit . I didn't see that at all . And the bren carrier where the shell hit looked all rusty to me . Hmmm a little Hollywood magic i think !

The gun only fired a blank, there would have been recoil from that 75mm gun if it had a live round, not only that but 75mm rounds do not have explosions of that magnitude that was shown

No recoil, not firing real shot

The "triangle " is the symbol for all American armored divisions.

Excellent video bruce bit pricey Sherman there was 1 forsale in qld $75k

Where is the recoil for the barre. You can also see the wiring on the barrel to set off the black powder

To show it's explosive power, fill it with 75 mm HE shells and fire on it with a Tiger so you will see a big explosion.

At least it is allowed the gun. Poor Emile in Holland is looking at fitting the turret back on the skid without the main gun. It was fine in the U.K. but Dutch authorities are more hard core and have been sitting on the paperwork for a year. (Built in China, fought in Iraq, war trophy to England, being restored in Holland)

Definitely not. Try it and see how long you get in prison assuming the police don't test their weapons on you first. The laws in the UK are ultra strict. If you even have a second world war jeep for re-enactments you can drive it to the venue but I believe that any weapons on it whether deactivated or fake plastic versions must be removed before travelling. After all we can't go scaring the great British public can we?🤣🇬🇧

Yes, its for reality tv, but you also have to know that firing a real AP or even HE, that it really dangerous. Especially with targets that close? HE shrapnel could easily fly back at them before the camera could catch that one of their heads got decapitated. If they fired a real AP, at that angle, that round can ricochet a few miles away into only God knows where. The gun fired blanks which should be good enough for an 80 plus year old machine.

The germans gave them that ironic nickname because of their ability to burst into flames after one hit and cremating the crew alive due to poor ammunition stowage and because they were actually under armoured and outgunned by just about everything they might have to fight. Their only advantage was reliability and there was lots of them available. Not much comfort for the crews though when a Tiger or Panther came around the corner.

The nickname "Tommy Cooker" never really specifically referred to the M4, and rather British tanks as whole. This reputation for burning due to ammuniton cook-offs is sort of a nonissue- as to both German and allied studies the _M4_ burned no more frequently than the _Panther._ And in later variants, the least of any medium tank to see appreciable service. The _M4_ comparatively not that armored in comparison even to the _Panther_ with the exception of the front.
