The propane cannon is the most amazing invention ever made by Syrians
>>
yeah, even though china had had them in the 13th century and Europe had them in the 14th.

IMO this class of weapon is even older, incendiary barrels are equivalent.
>>
>>64259123
they don't use propane as propellent. they're just cannons.

Unless the contents are replaced with explosives, it seems that a process of fuel ejection, mixing, and ignition like a fuel-air bomb would be required.
>>
>>64259158
They always replace the content with HE and use the cylinder as fragmentable container, you can see they removed the valves.
>>
How are these different from the improvised mortars developed by the IRA back in the 80s & 90s?

The concept wouldn't be patent-able because it's evident, just filling a metal container with explosives.
You can find similar examples when people wants to launch a large mass of explosives since ever.

>>
>>64259268
I agree, but your example is ironic given that FARC and ETA apparently learned how to do this from the IRA.
>>
>>64259559
And probably they were inspired by the Invasion preparations of bongs during 1939-1940 but that kind of things were common during WWI (they were launching tanks filled with toxic gas).

this is pretty much a large-caliber mortar. the closest analogue in use by a modern military would be the m240 mortar / 2s4 tyulpan self-propelled mortar, but the m240 is a much more effective weapon with greater range and rate of fire.
interestingly the hell cannon's projectiles are 75% explosive by weight which is ridiculously high compared to even modern military mortars
>>
>>64259833
No, the closets analogue are deep charge throwers and anti-submarine mortars.
The RBU-6000 Smerch-2 and Elma are still in service.

Propane tanks have a thick steel wall and heavy even when empty. They should have fabricated the warhead from thinner and lighter steel drums.
>>
>>64259094
If they would be interested in propane accessories, i know just the guy.
>>
Shells designed to deliver large amounts of explosive, such as the dynamite gun, Churchill AVRE, and Japanese Type 98 mortar, are known for their low fragmentation effect.
Depending on the purpose, thick shells are required.
>>
>>64259148
I wonder if this stuff even actually worked
>>
>>64259407
If you could see the Syrians of today who have none of the things you listed, you would be shocked at how far they’ve fallen
>>
>>64259094
Quick googling shows that propane tank steel is too soft. They'd better either make fragmantation cuts (i.e copromising shell's integrity) of repetedly rapidly heat up and cool them down (huge waste of fuel)
>>
>>64263098
*OR repetedly rapidly

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasan_al-Rammah
Hasan al-Rammah (Arabic: حسن الرماح, died 1295) was a Syrian[1][2][3] Arab[4] chemist and engineer during the Mamluk Sultanate who studied gunpowders and explosives, and sketched prototype instruments of warfare, including the first torpedo.[5] Al-Rammah called his early torpedo "an egg which moves itself and burns." It was made of two sheet-pans of metal fastened together and filled with naphtha, metal filings, and potassium nitrate. It was intended to move across the surface of the water, propelled by a large rocket and kept on course by a small rudder.[6]

Al-Rammah devised several new types of gunpowder,[7] a new type of fuse, and two types of lighters.[6]

The Warsaw uprising saw extensive use of Molotov cocktail catapults. They even standardized the design of acid-based ignition mechanism to replace the burning rag.

Some Chinese had piped natural gas for light industry and lighting, in 500BCE or so.
It's older than you think.

IRA men were literally arrested in Colombia for training FARC in the use of these mortars - look up the 'Colombia Three'. Apparently the same applies for ETA, but you'll have to Google that yourself.

Somewhat off-topic, but for all the debate about how the inevitable Second American Civil War is going to play out, I think it's going to be like Syria. An initial ROFLstomp for the Federal government, followed by a slow grinding defeat over the course of many years with dozens of factions fighting each in a Turner Diariesque race war (but with more atrocities and memes) with everything from OG Civil War cannons mounted to some reenactor's pickup truck, to improvised mortars made from PVC piping, to captured F-35s being flown by guys who literally learned to fly them in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Eventually, Washington DC falls after a protracted struggle that whittled down the US Armed Forces and left it a hollow shell of its former self, there's some more fighting in the power vacuum, and eventually the surviving factions get together and mutually agree to dissolve the Union at all levels and form their own independent states. Death by a thousand cuts.
>>
>>64266230
Meh, the chud race war baiters really have no idea how infiltrated and inept they are. It would just accelerate their deaths and the politics they are against to fruition.

It was more the fact that they were dropping them semi-randomly over civilian areas.

>>64266609
It's not a PGM so you have to kill a lot of children to get a rebel.
And that's ignoring that they were basically used as collective punishment which is literally a warcrime.
