What Happens If A Tank Shoots Directly at a Human (Point Blank)
I'm sure it's happened to you in any video game you've played. And it's a question we've wanted an answer to. We spent an unfortunate amount of money to make this video a reality for you for free. We hope you enjoy the increasingly larger caliber tank rounds used in today's video.

You're probably talking about tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands. Humans are very squishy and that kind of shell carries a tremendous amount of energy. It was designed to penetrate something millions of times harder than human bits. If anything constantly slamming into bodies would make the shell veer off the path a little, and when it runs out of enough penetrating power the deviation will drastically increase.

I actually met a guy who survived having been shot with a T-72 tank cannon. It happened in the Hungarian army, during a target practice. He was sent to plant a signal flag in the target zone. As he did, he felt something violently yanking his jacket. He looked down, and found a good part of his jacket missing. An armor piercing projectile went just under his arm as he reached out to plant the flag, barely touching his body. A tank crew was very, very badly disciplined on that day.

My grandfather was a battery commander during Vietnam. They were at risk of being overrun by an enemy battalion, so he ordered their howitzers to be direct laid and had the fuses removed from their airburst munitions. They completely annihilated the enemy force and he was awarded a silver star. Crazy shit. EDIT: You can read about it in “Human Impact of Technological Innovation on the Battlefield” 15 MAR 1985. I based my telling off how my grandfather told me, but to quote the paper: “Bliss recalls suggesting the use of ‘Killer Senior’ with ICM rounds. The minimum time fuze setting of two seconds created an air burst at 1,000 meters. Eleven rounds were fired, and almost immediately, North Vietnamese firing ceased.”

What would you do in this scenario then?
For those wondering what the muzzle energy of the 76mm (second tank) it’s 1,926,109 fpe. The howitzer muzzle energy is 4,565,437 fpe. A 50cal out of a 38 in barrels has 12,139 fpe. A 308 cal with a 178gr at 2500fps has 2,470 fpe.

Great vid, Brandon needs to work out more it would seem. If anyone is interested in what happens when a mounted cavalry man gets a direct hit from a cannon ball, whilst wearing a cuirass, go look up Francois-Antoine Fauveau. I can only imagine the results were similar to this. They found his armour but I doubt if they found much of Francois, maybe his legs.

My Grandpa Wier was a tank commander in Italy in WWII. He told me that one time they had a guy pop out of the bushes, shoot his rifle and take off running straight away from them. Grandpa told his guys to shoot him, thinking they would light the dude up with the machine gun, but the gunner fired the main 76mm and vaporized the guy's top half.

fun fact with Soviet Onion: the D25 152mm Howizer is a Soviet era Anti-ship gun that was used on a few Russian Battleships as a Secondary Gun, and a little bit after 1941 and 1942 when the Tiger 1's and Panthers were coming around the Soviets used that gun to one tap said German Cats from like 1.5km- 2kms away with perfect hits, it was so good at killing the Heavy German Cats that the germans would Nickname the ISU-152 and the SU-152 "Cat Killers" or "Beast Hunters" due to the fact that the Soviet made those tanks to hunt and destroy the Massive Cats.
Whoop whoop! Awesome episode
my nieghbor was in the Korean war in artillery, and he survived more than a few mass attacks. He said he would have to use the guns in direct fire they were so close. They would sometimes load flechettes in the guns and vaporise the NKs by the hundreds. It was so crazy he still didnt know if he should laugh or cry, but he was glad to make it back.

The head, after that 76mm round, fell down into the body cavity like some kinda mortal combat finisher, just as violent, but real. That is wild.
