Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when a 20mm cannon round hits water jugs?

When a 20mm cannon round impacts water jugs, it creates a massive hydraulic explosion. The projectile's immense energy obliterates the jugs, sending water and debris flying due to the rapid expansion and shockwave.

How does a 20mm round compare in size to other common rifle cartridges?

The 20mm projectile is significantly larger than standard rifle rounds like the 7.62x39mm (used in AK-47s) and even the .50 BMG. This visual comparison highlights the extreme scale and power of the 20mm cannon.

What is the purpose of firing a 20mm round into water jugs?

Firing a 20mm round into water jugs serves as a destructive testing method to demonstrate the projectile's kinetic energy transfer and explosive effect. It visually showcases the ballistics and destructive potential of high-caliber ordnance.

What other firearm was used in the video besides the 20mm cannon?

After the 20mm test, an AK-47 rifle was used in full-automatic mode to finish off any remaining intact water jugs. This provided a contrast in firepower and rate of fire compared to the single, powerful 20mm shot.
