You can see and hear the shell spinning on the ground in one of the shots, cool

Impressive!  Imagine what a real full power AP round would have done.  I bet it would have drilled a neat 76mm hole right through the whole row.

In one of his videos firing that gun you can see the round started tumbling right out of the barrel when they slowed it down.

This one?

I remeber wondering wether that is normal or not when I watched this... Maybe the round needs some time to stabilize after leaving the barrel?

[Tim Sielbeck]

That might be it.

I would think that it should already be stabilised as it leaves the barrel.

😊 No. No. That's definitely not it.

Here the driving band and bourrelet may not have been correct. Or there was no driving band at all. Am I correct in assuming that it wasn't a regular AP shell? But that it was made amateurishly.

I do believe that they make their own.  Probably not able to by factory fresh ones on the open market.

The rifling on the barrel could be shot up, also.

the driving band has to be just right for the round to behave properly.  We ended up copying the original blueprints and it worked very well.  Powder has to be right at in the right quantity as well.  It's more difficult than one would think...

Evolution of German tank armament. I cannot confirm if drawings have the same scale...

Yep.  That's awesome.  I can see why it was so scary.
