- According to the U.S. Navy, The Mk 38 is a 25 mm machine gun system, or MGS, installed for ship self-defense to counter Fast Attack and Fast Inshore Attack craft.
The IRGCN's dangerous and provocative actions increased the risk of miscalculation and collision. They were not in accordance with the internationally recognized Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) "rules of the road," or internationally recognized maritime customs. They were not in accordance with the obligation under international law to act with due regard for the safety of other vessels in the area.

8 mins in and I'm still waiting to SEE what an MK-38 Bushmaster can do to an Iranian Speedboat.
Exactly, this is BS! Thumbs down 👎🏻
I'm feeling the same, clickbait.
thought i had missed something@@BobbyTucker
Yeah, I fell for it too. I was waiting for some speedboat debris to go flying. Nope, didn't happen.
Ghoul.
Guess I'll have to watch some other video to see what the Mk-38 Bushmaster can do to an Iranian Speedboat? Not shown here.
USA can not beat Yemen, let alone Iran. Should not USA spend this money inside their own country?
Agreed - the title is clickbait to expose the viewer to US propaganda.
I don't see any thumb's down yet. Why not give it one?
Well now, it looks as though you _really are_ a@@spacecadet1249, because you aren't able to see when someone votes a thumbs down on the video...YT doesn't show them. Can you say, DERP? 🤪🤣
It's all clickbait and A.I. narration nowadays
As a former Naval officer myself, I have always though that these gun took too many rounds before they hit their targets. I feel that they should be replaced with at least a 40mm gun with timed detonation rounds so that all you have to do his aim near the target and have the round detonate at that location, sending small pieces of shrapnel in all directions. From this video you can see that the rounds would have detonated very close to the target, eliminating it within just the first few rounds fired. This would limit the amount of time an attacking vessel would have to launch its weapons before it was destroyed. The sooner your enemy is dead, the less chance he has of inflicting damage on you.
That is indeed a good observation, these videos are showing a lot of wasted ammunition.
Army can hit and destroy a moving tank in the heat of battle with the Bushmaster... but the Navy can't?
And, of course, Navy blames the gun...
Seems like we be wasting way too much ammo on a speed boat. I always thought we had one shot, one kill technology.
@@jerrysullivan2001 keep them coming...
"The waves and the wind!" The eternal excuse of the squid. The Red Sea isn't exactly known for being a treacherous sea. You can't hit a boat in a dead calm?
Has anyone made a cluster shell yet?
Here's What an America's Mk-38 Bushmaster Can Do to an Iranian Speedboat - Nothing? Nice fluffy slightly technical piece about the weapon. ZERO showing of the damage it can do except for splashing the water near another boat or a stationary inflated target. Thumbs down for content relating to the title.
I found it pretty boring.
Thanks for the tip before I saw the whole thing.
@@charlescarpenter3758 You’re welcome. I appreciate it when others warn me😂😂
Yup. Just a fluff piece. Show us the money, or better yet; the money shot!
They also spelt "machine gun" as "mashine gun."
Cut the appeasement nonsense-warn them off-if they fail to heed-let the bushmaster assist them with their desire to go to paradise...
Aw crap. Just tell rednecks they taste good, and they ain't no open season. Who gonna bring the beer😮
what about their 72 virgins ?!?
Well that's inflation for you-it used to be 100 virgins.
The headline is misleading.
Promise not kept. Show shooting speedboat until it blows up. (Like in the movies)!
Should have sunk, caught fire or sunk.
EXACTLY---STILL WAITING!!!
@@markbonner1139 it's coming, wait for the sequel.
I can imagine that it would inflict serious damage if it actually hits something.
Yeah, who's aiming that thing, Stevie Wonder😅
@@THX1138OG lol!!🤪😂
Even Stevie would laugh at that

for a highly accurate weapon it seemed to be incapable of hitting the proverbial barn door.
EIGHT MINUTES OF HISTORY AND NO BOATS SUNK! Your Title is clickbait.
Thanks for the heads up.
Thank you for the lack promised content!
Had to laugh at the M2 "Mashine" Gun. lol
I have NEVER in my 67 years saw 'machine' misspelled, almost puts into question the validity of information stated in this video.
@@peghead ...... I left at this point!
How about the voiceover guy constantly saying "M K " instead of what it represents - MARK. Additionally, spelling out the numbers such as M242 with "M two hundred forty two"...
@@SSGTruthat’s what you get when you have AI read a script instead of an actual voice over!
@@PVZsquared hmmm, well, that AI is mostly smooth... needs more vocal learning, apparently! :)
This is a Legit Channel 🍻
Lol.. have no experience with these on Navy ships. But some on the Bradley it's a darn good gun. One thing he didn't mention that makes thus such a good gun fr a variety of targets is you can simultaneously feed it with both HE and AP rounds.
It's basically a chain fed automatic Cannon. And you have what's called feed chutes in both sides of the receiver. You just hit a switch and it will go from feeding from one side woth one type of Ammo to the other side. The fire control system also adjusts for the ammo change because the ballistics of the 2 rounds are different.
Almost a Perfect weapon system for small attack boats especially considering you got the different types of ammo you can literally change in the fly while actively engaging a target. Which can be very useful depending on what type of target(s) you are engaging.
These AI voice channels are ridiculous.
We had drone control speed boats for the U.S. Navy to practice on near SUBIC BAY ,AFTER TOKIN GULF , WE PROVIDED SURFACE TO AIR, AIR TO AIR,RADARR INTERCEPT, COD AND MISSLE LAUNCE DRONES, VC5 Det Cubi point,1965 until Dec 69. Was AIRCREW INSTRUCTOR, ATN,US2C plane captain,RC45 J, and A- 4 C plane captain
and your point is?
@@JustMe-yi8cdhis point was that he was a pilot but not pilot and that he was the Captain on a plane but not an airplane. I'm not sure I understand why someone would call themselves a "plane captain" of an A-4 attack aircraft. Next thing ya know he will be saying he was sitting in the A4 that got hit on the USS Forrestal in 1967.
@@alienrocketscienceshared8454
Why do you comment on something that you clearly know nothing about?
A plane captain supervises all ground crew and all maintenance necessary to keep an aircraft safely fullfilling its mission and bringing the pilot back safely. Every Naval Aviator KNOWS that if any of their ground crew doesn't do their job properly and the plane captain misses it, their next mission might be their last.
I was a throttleman on a destroyer that was built before most all of my shipmates or I were born. In addition to delivering some pretty serious whup-ass to a bunch of Uncle Ho's kids, steaming all around Earth's biggest swimming pool, we also provided lifeguard duty to Navy & Marine combat flyers of the USS RANGER and ENTERPRISE. Sure am glad this shipmate was in Subic and Cubi Pt. keeping their birds flying safely so we didn't have to pick anybody out of the drink.
After USN was done with her, our old girl was sold to the Taiwan Navy to patrol the straight, keeping the Chinese from attacking their country.

@j.d.schultzsr.9215 You sure like to puke out a lot of Navy jargon, don't you! Most folks with experience don't speak like that about their Naval experiences. And you sure had a lot of afloat duty assignments in your six years of active dury. I know my experience, and that of most I knew had an initial 3yr afloat assignment followed by 3yrs on shore duty. Having gone through AOCS and receiving my Commission, and my experiences thereafter is where I got my "know-nothing aboutedness".
Just curious though, what school/pipeline did you take to end up qualified as a "Plane Captain", and how long did it take you to learn about the A4 systems and necessary ground equipment for it's day to day operations? Just curious..... ya know... for all those future sailors who want to experience what it's like to see the world for free, earn good pay, be part of the Naval Aviation community, and learn valuable life and work experience.
@j.d.schultzsr.9215 oh.... and can you tell me more about how you became an Aircrew Instructor. I remember training right next to those guys in Pensacola, along with the aircrew themselves. Again, just curious, yaknow.
These guns after firing they could have a way to collect all the spent cartridges instead of dumping them in the ocean. Cartridges could be recycled and reused instead of wasting them.
LOL. Tho in fact for sporting, now Pb is banned since the pellets can be ingested by wildlife.
Dumb. ..if they need it to defend the warship then that's like emptying sewage into the ocean who cares?
I mean imagine ALL the fishes in the ocean plus birds, seals, etc. HOW MUCH SEWAGE DO THEY ADD EVERY DAY INTO THE OCEAN???
They should set up a brass catcher and reload the rounds
I'm not sure, but these might be steel cases.
Rounds can be used by marine life for habitat. Nemo likes casings.
@@NCF8710 They sure do look like it, don't they? Judging by the amount of dessicant sticks in that ammo can, they probably are.
My thoughts exactly, too much human waste going into the seas. especially from the military, don't get me wrong I'm for the military. I grew up around WWII vets and they even said that the military is wasteful. Tons of ordinance dumped overboard after WWII, Korean and Vietnam wars.
@@NCF8710 Steel or not, reclaiming the casings seems like a simple, and useful thing to do. Steel can be recycled after all.
uh.....where did we get to see what the bushmaster can do to an Iranian Speedboat? fool me once...won't be back
the accuracy of that naval nerf gun though 😂
that's what i was thinking too! not a single hit on that giant balloon! i wonder why they used their most advanced fighter jet to intercept that chinese sp balloon 🧐😂
you mean 'mashine gun'😂
Would think they could recover the casing
Why it’s not their money.
ISN'T $20-50 worth a nice 100K-500K boat?
@@50buttfish even if they couldn't reload them I would think it would be an easy / cheap way to look environmentally friendly to recover and recycle them
@@spn3925 Nemo likes casings...they dump old tires offshore to make reefs.
They could, but the fuel to ship them back to America so they can be recycled, would be more than just digging up new resources out of the ground in america.
that Iranian speedboat really took a pounding
Vanished in a blizzard of hits
So did your mother))
That's a lot of brass going overboard , a net underneath would save millions of dollars
Great video for how to turn a 4 min. video into a 8 min. video.
and here's what an iranian negotiator can do to American Presidents: billions in cash and the JCPOA.
The president is an idiot!!!
I enjoy the way the bushmaster unloads the spent cartridges to the local coral life and sea floor automatically. No fuss , no muss! And the smaller fish and crustaceans make homes for their babies in the spent shells. Great for everyone 🍷❤️🔥🩵
Plus the bad guys become fish food..."win win win"!
😂
Yeah, great to drop metal casings on a coral reef. As a diver who appreciates the ocean life and coral reefs - not a good idea. And why waste them anyway. Anyone heard of recycing.
Casings are brass.. copper is harmful to sea life.. and brass has copper in iy
You fail to understand that corals grow best in warm shallow waters, not out in the mid ocean, where encounters like the one shown in video take place. If you were stationed aboard a Navy ship being attacked by enemy gun boats, would you be worrying about the coral?
All hermit crabs in the Arabian sea look like they are wearing a brass tophat !
We used a MK-16 MOD 40MM GRANDE LAUNCHER. WORKED LIKE A CHAMP ON THE OLD MINE SWEEPERS WE USED. FOR EOD. THE ONE WE WERE ON THE MOST WAS THE USS INFLICT. 456
Welcome to my Personal Blocklist, cnt.
It's Devo meets Blue Man Group plus awesome, rockin' weapons.
A welcome addition to an awesome array of devastating weaponry.
Ahem...them guns don't seem to hit anything as too many rounds are used which they don't seem to hit a bullseye, at close range...???😮
If you’re referring to Navy gunners firing warning shots, instead of just killing everything they see, …
… they actually do this, most of the time. The US Navy isn’t on a serial-killer mission.
2:53: look at that amazing accuracy 😂😂😂
The Bushmaster is best at wasting expensive ammunition over the open sea. It well struck nothing but foam.
The shells are littering the ocean!
sharing ... an excellent GUN!
"Mashine" Gun? That should have been my first clue...
I’m in my sixties now, and we’ve been putting up with these guys since I was nineteen, it’s time to stop playing Mr. Nice Guy and make our point that we are done with this regime.
So the thing runs out of ammo, & crewmen have to go on deck to reload during combat operations? Sounds kind of dangerous. Have reload capability below deck with over 2000 round capability before reload. What's it shooting now? 200
accuracy wise ?
In comparison to the Rheinmetall MLG27 this seems to be from WWII ^^
I was an Ordinanceman on a carrier , back in the old days any blue ammo was inert, or blanks , this ammo is blue and i don;t thinkit's live , this is some kind of training exercise !
Incredible that they make zero attempt at collecting spent casings in a hold for recycling, just send them straight to the bottom of the sea. Whats worse is that they may be considered as toxic waste, primer charge residues etc.
Two reasons. 1) casings have the possibility to jam the weapon. 2) casings rolling around the deck could cause a sailor to loss their footing. Sometimes saving a few bucks isn’t worth it.
Is there a way to collect the expended shells to be reloaded?
Is this the same gun that is on the Bradley?
In this day and age could it not have some kind of software to track on a heat signature like the engine?
Perhaps water sprayed up makes tracing heat difficult, and not reliable?
I noticed the empty casing are dumped into the sea, don't they have scrap value for smelting and making new casings ?? please advise.
Scrap value? Recycling? Efficiency? Why are you trying to lessen the profit of the defense contractors on contract for the ammo?
@@ronm.1690 Recycling (if achievable on which I wouldn't offer an unresearched opinion) could reduce those defence contractors own materials costs.
easy come, easy go , who cares , right ??@@davidwright5094
As a resource conservationist I agree, but when money is no object, well?
I'm sure it's a cost issue, ironically reloading/recycling would cost too much.
The Bushmaster gun though devastating, is slow in its firing rate. I doubt its effectiveness in quickly destroying fast moving sea or airborne threats attacking in swarms. The US Navv should include 4 extra high velocity gatling guns on 4 sides of its ships to provide a hail of fire to combat swarm attacks. ❤
THATS POWER
I never got to see Here's What an America's Mk-38 Bushmaster Can Do to an Iranian Speedboat. Is that in part II?
USA can not beat Yemen, let alone Iran. Should not USA spend this money inside their own country?
I am surprised that the spent cartridges are not recuperated, with many of them apparently going overboard. It seems wasteful.
Is that Mr. Freeze at the end of the line?
1:59 Does a mashine gun work the same as a machine gun?
only on potatoes
2:03 the M2 “Mashine” Gun? Does it mash the enemy into submission?
Those speed boats are so small that they don’t matter if they block ships.
The Mk 38 is NOT a turret, which is an armored housing.
😍 Rock & Roll 🥳
Nothing an old 40mm bofors can't do...
Grieving Mother🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Vetrans Memorial
about as accurate as a one eyed gunslinger
All those rounds for so many “not even” near misses.
3:20 'enemy swimmers' 😂
I guess I missed the part where you showed us what it can do to an Iranian speedboat? It didn't even hit the targets you did show it shooting at.
Great sales video! Can I have one?
Where do you find people who can't spell machine?
YES
The Iranian navy looks like my ski boat.
"Mashine Gun" - that's funny!
2:00 - What the hell is a MASHINE gun?!
Glad I paused the video after a minute and read the comments so I didn't waste anymore time. By the way the chances are these multi barreled cannon will do nothing to these speedboats. I've seen many videos where sailors are training on these weapons by firing at towed inflatable targets and most times they can't even hit the target. It must be a lot more difficult then it's portrayed.
need to get one of these for my house
Why does it seem to miss the target so much?
How do you spell machine gun?
What has happened to the Persian boat?
They ought to put cluster bullets in now which will decimate yards of water or have they them?
The "Bush master" is an Australian military vehicle.
What about the chain guns?
"M2 MASHINE GUN"...😂 Advanced A.I. my ass!
Hi any chance you could fit a device to collect the empty shell casing and recycle ♻️ and stop pollution in the sea 🌊
We spend a thousand dollars for every dollar they spend and they still give us a fit! Think about it!
Imagination Engaged 😊
Visualization In Progress
Got It!
Given the calm waters and the speed and manoeuvarability of the speed boats the American vessels were at absolutely no risk whatsoever.
One more "Clickbait" video, I'm pulling my sub.
I don't know I was watching some films on that gun and it didn't hit the target very often
Iran hasn’t met this yet. Lol.
In the 70s I was on a frigate in the Med. While playing war games we were "attacked" by gunboats of the Italian Navy. Our response was two gunner's mates with M60s. We won by the way?????
Where can I get one😮
It makes you wonder where it can do out in the bush.
"M2 Mashine Gun". Seriously.
Yeah, righto, great bit of red, white, blue advertising for the Mk 38 but no Iranian speedboat. D'uh!
I keep here and you say it's super accurate yet the whole video we don't see it hits shit
That's a whole lot of f around and find out
6:30 I think we've come to the core of things with this sentence.
I must have missed a memo, when did we start spelling machine gun as " mashine gun"
Can it be mounted on a small red Radio-Flyer childrens wagon? Lol 😂
Yeah
Feed me! FEED ME! That gun has 3 or 4 guys spoon feeding it with belted bullets!
When did,
THE MK38/25mm AUTO CANNON,
Get a, R2D2 UNIT? Former GM USCGC CHASE 718(378) THANKS!
I saw somewhere on CZcams that there are a lot of variants of this system with all sorts of add-ons. I think I saw one with a laser mounted along side the gun. I have not checked the internet for Bushmaster’s website, but I am sure if you look it up they should show all of the variants they have made as well as production dates.
If I were responsible for producing prompt destruction of fast-moving attackers, I'd want the weapon(s) procured to: be quick to deploy, accurate to aim & fire, and devastating on the class of targets intended. Ideally, they'd also be designed to permit smooth, normal maintenance and, (very rarely) repair or parts replacement. The featured 25mm mini-cannon / maxi-"machine" gun (note spelling), seems to disappoint a number of these expectations. Haven't seen a single hit.
