You should watch some of the vintage instructional videos from the early 1900's using mock-ups. A big problem with modern instructional videos is that they use a lot of flashy fast moving 3D images which end up confusing the viewer, something that the vintage videos are much better at counteracting. I learned a lot of how various firearms function from those videos. And also about transmission and differentials in vehicles.

@doltBmB One particular thing I really hated about Disney's Star Wars films was the fact that they showed TIE-fighters flying inside atmospheres. They shouldn't be able to do that if their acronym is supposed to be correct.

@bonda_racing3579 depth charges will always work against submarines. The concussive force of explosions are amplified underwater, also when an explosion occurs it creates a big displacement of water (essentially a giant air bubble) If the keel of a ship or a sizeable portion of a sub is caught in this air bubble it'll be like this part of the vessel is hanging in mid air for a split second. Which no vessel is designed to hold up to, so it can collapse and snap under either it's own weight, or the tons and tons of sea water rushing in to fill that displacement of water.

@TheGuruNetOn Fireworks and missiles are not the same as reaching escape velocity.
