Details

Weapons At War is a 5 part series that provides an impressive historical overview of the different types of weapons used in wars over the years. The series shows unique images from earlier times, but also takes a revealing look at the most advanced weapons of the future. - Artillery: If there is one weapon that has proven successful over the centuries, it is the artillery cannon. Artillery cannons have been based on the same principle for more than six hundred years: a projectile fired by an explosive force. Whereas artillerymen used to take half a day to shoot a bullet a few hundred yards away, nowadays they hit a target more than 20 kilometers away four times a minute. These modern computerized cannons are unmatched in their destructive power. - Tanks: The World War I tanks moved at a speed of only six kilometers per hour. Today war tanks, weighing sixty tons, drive at seventy kilometers per hour across the battlefield. Their cannons shoot uranium arrows through the armor of enemy tanks. The development of the tank is central to this documentary.
