7:01 Just a small semantic correction. The copper is not molten but a high velocity jet of copper, in excess of 8,000 m/s. This is called the Munroe Effect, at no point does the copper liner become molten.
-
Still in disbelief with what you can do with Blender. Nice opening sequence too. Goosebumps!
-
Okay the production quality is insane. Cant wait for this channel to blow up
-
This production is insane.
-
The 3D models are top notch👌 I also love that you give context why and how it was made
-
Soviets were great weapon designers.
-
I just wanted to say something i don't think anyone else has touched on here with praise video: the sound design & music is PHENOMENAL. PHENOMENAL.
-
Круто! Особенно понравились мелкие детали типа армейских плакатов, наставления по стрелковому делу, надписи и маркировки совпадают. Очень хорошо проработано!
-
8:25 "The mountains of afaghanistan", but otherwise a very solid and well-produced video.
-
it's a crime to watch this kinda quality video in YT for free.
-
Bro came out of nowhere and released 3 absolute bangers. The cinematic shots The incredible attention to detail The music choices! Absolutely outstanding. Thank you.
-
ok, so the copper liner is not molten, but rather a stream of high energy particles that cut the material like a plasma torch
-
Get early access to my videos: nebula.tv/echozero

Great job! Love the detailed modelling and showcasing how it works. Those smoke sims and the wiggles on the stabilizer fins were superb
-
3D modes and animations are superb! Perfect mix of history behind the weapon and its technical details. The use of a caliper to show the diameter was very clever!
-
That firing sequence segment was phenomenal. Amazing work.
-
Oh my gosh these animations are amazing, very clear and concise information too. Keep up the good work!
-
That quality is insane, what a talent
-
Glad to have seen this in advance in NY - fantastic stuff
-
