Duration: 15:04

This video demonstrates the destructive power of a custom-built 20mm cannon, the Typhon 20, against oxygen and acetylene tanks. The 20mm round creates a massive fireball upon impacting the acetylene tank, melting the steel. Subsequent shots on oxygen tanks result in large explosions and significant debris. The post-impact analysis reveals thermal damage and deep craters, highlighting the extreme energy of the projectile.

Quick Summary

The Typhon 20 is a custom, single-shot, bolt-action 20mm cannon designed by Mark Serbu. In this test, it was used to destroy oxygen and acetylene tanks, causing massive fireballs, explosions, and significant structural damage like melted steel and deep impact craters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Typhon 20?

The Typhon 20 is a custom-built, single-shot, bolt-action 20mm cannon. It was designed by Mark Serbu and is shown mounted on an M2 tripod with a specialized recoil assembly for stability during firing.

What happened when the 20mm cannon hit the acetylene tank?

The 20mm round struck the acetylene tank, causing a massive fireball. The impact and heat from the escaping gas effectively melted the steel, leaving a clean hole.

What kind of damage did the 20mm round cause to the oxygen tanks?

The 20mm projectile caused large explosions and significant debris displacement. Post-inspection revealed deep craters in the thick steel bottoms of the tanks and 'frosting' on the valves due to rapid decompression.

How does the 20mm round compare in size to other calibers?

The video visually compares the 20mm round to 9mm, .338 Lapua, and .50 BMG ammunition. The 20mm round is substantially larger, emphasizing its immense scale and firepower.
