videos | at work | information | view | construction
The ZPU-4 is a towed, quadruple-barreled anti-aircraft gun based on the Soviet KPV 14.5 mm machine gun. It entered service with the Soviet Union in 1949 and is used by over 50 countries worldwide. Double- and single-barreled version of the weapon exist, called the ZPU-2 (two variants) and ZPU-1 respectively.

Its really strong. I want one. Uhuuuu it should be a fun.
-
I want this shit for me electrical wheelchair
-
OK, I want one; zpu-4 and 100 ton of ammunition! ;-)
-
Definitely. That's true of anything, though.
-
True, but i wasn't ever saying what we had isn't better. What i was saying was simply that the ZPU-4 would work far more successfully in much more capable hands.
-
I'd say that our weapons are of higher quality and effectiveness, as well as fitting our doctrine better.
-
So imagine them with people with more skill and ability with them? From a fortified firing point? xD They have lots of potential, but people just dont use them too well. It takes a REAL military to put them to good use :D
-
They're really not that great. The muj use them all the time, to very little effect.
-
these make for fearsome direct fire weapons as well..
-
what happened to the remainder of the vid?

But you have to be a fool to think you can't knock an M1's tread off with an RPG or Explosives. Also like I said on another video, the Russians would have thousands of tanks. They would out number the M1. The T-72 or even T-80 could damage the ballistic computer and stop the crew from using the laser range finder. This would cut back on the M1's ability to land accurate shots. It is possible. The gun would also lose stabilization which would make moving shots impossible.

Look it up. It happened. It was the weaker side armor. But it did penetrate. You mean my theory on how to stop one? I am talking about Guerilla warfare, not open country fighting. Use your head. You could also use anti tank trenches, Just a big ditch for the tank to fall in. It would only have to do so for half of the tank, once that happens you can hit with RPG's on the top of the turret. But an M1 would be easy to stop in an urban enviroment. especially one with very tall buildings

I have heard rumors of aliens landing in central park, and giant sea monsters in Chesapeake bay, both just as likely as your lame scenario. First off... ain't happening. If a t-72's main gun can't penetrate the armor, what in the world would make anyone with 5 living brain cells think a 14mm round would? Good grief. Ever hear of physics? Secondly, and most likely a fatal flaw in your theory is the fact the M1 shoots back, from a much farther range, and far more accurately.
-
I know.

You are a military genius.

@HeirofGojira91 There have been reports of Soviet 14.5 mm round penetrating the armor of the M1. All tanks can be stopped even the M1. Just knock its treads off and you can make it a useless bunker. You can knock the treads off with explosives in a road bomb or AT mine. Then all it can do is sit there and wait for help. If the crew tries to bail you can kill them. That simple.

@peepeevagi Oh and did you hear sometime in Iraq an M1A2 was disabled by a single 12.7mm well-aimed shot to a power auxillary unit. Scary...then that means a 14.5mm - should ... have no problems neither if well-aimed... :S
-
@peepeevagi but like how the commentator notes; the protection of the crew in the machine gun is also a compromise - I doubt if anybody can withstand the hit of a tank gun - Sherman or Tiger I - HE shells are not something to play around with but yes - jamming the turret - and not to mention enough noise to wake the fallen - even veteran tankers would be unnerved by rounds bouncing off the tank.
-
@HeirofGojira91 You probably couldn't penetrate the hull or the turret. You could definitely take off one of it's tracks though. Maybe even jam the turret :D
