If you want to know how the AK-47 - the most used rifle in the world - works, then this is your video! In this detailed animation, we see an in-depth explanation of the working principle of the AK-47 and the AKM.
I'm russian I've disassembled an AK many times at school, but had no complete understanding of its mechanics. Dozens of youtube videos weren't helping either, untill i came across this very one. It's simply beautiful. Everything is so clear now, even the smallest details and nuances. Huge thanks to the author
In Russia we have classes called "life safety fundamentals" on which we train such things, but more about what to do in extreme situations and how to provide first aid with bare hands and so and so on. Surprised?
After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel ru-vid.comUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!
Kalashnikov was a uneducated alcoholic . Real author of this weapon in German Schmeißer and his teem which was captured after the war . The same story with the first "russian" space rockets.
The fact that this whole process can happen up to 600 times a minute is astonishing. Maybe I just can’t imagine it because of how slow the animation is but wow.
all I can think about is how good this graphic design team is. just wow. these guys are awesome!!! the models the textors the lighting is perfect. and this is why I just subbed not because of any other reason.
I agree. I was trying to multitask thinking "Wow, what a great weapon design" while also thinking "Such a nice graphical design!". It's hard to do both efficiently at the same time. Will have to watch it 2 more times now xP
I didn't even reach 1/4 way through and I subscribed because of the 3D models and animation and as I kept watching I was even more impressed. Intricate things like this gun are always hard to understand without see through operations.
This is the first video that actually gets me through the mechanism within 10 min. Awesome job in animation as well as integrating all the information!
Honestly I never thought I'd be that interested about the inner workings of a gun but this surprisingly informative, eloquent, and summarized to the point where people such as myself will give it a shot because it's not half an hour. Bravo good sir, hats off to you!
I used my AKM for 30 months - every single day on the range and plenty times in combat. It never had a stoppage for any reason whatsoever ... even when I'd slept on it in the mud or thrown it in the back of the vehicle among the 'spoils of war.' It takes genius to produce a tool so simple, yet so effective and reliable. A fellow warrior preferred an FN-FAL that he'd lovingly care for at every halt, every opportunity ... yet he still threw it into the bush after it had failed him a number of times in a very busy day, screaming "find me a 'kin AK!"
i got into 3D modeling as a hobby by using youtube tutorials for blender. the AK was the first gun i created but it doesn't look nearly this good lol. it gave me a greater respect for the things 3D artists create now that i know the time and effort they put in.
do you have a 3D printer? i can't wait to get my hands on one. blender was tough to figure out but with it being free it was worth the challenges. i've had alot of fun with it and hopefully one day it will be more than just a hobby for us.
We have one at work. There are many AK family rifles out there for printing. TIP: If you are thinking about modeling a mesh object to print, make sure it's very high fidelity (high poly), otherwise your model will be faceted and will print faceted.
i'll keep that in mind, thanks for the tip. im hoping to get one with my tax check but ill have to get one of the cheaper printers. the idea to just think of something and create it seems wild to me.
Unfortunately you don't even need this info to shoot up a school. All you need is a gun, which by the way is why no guns in the UK is a really good thing.
I don't think I will ever have to defend myself from refugees (at least for the next 10 years until the USA collapses and all those gun freaks come over here)
@@michaelyiangou2141 firearms are legal in the UK. You can own a .22 lr semi automatic ar-15 with a 50 round drum mag if you had a reason to (such as sport shooting).
I love AK's, always have. By far my favorite Rifle to shoot, I'm lucky enough to have owned a few. Growing up in the U.S. as kid in the 80's the AK had a bad reputation and was seen as a bad guy weapon. But now, it's very popular and most Gun Guys here own one or have at some point. Cool Video!
But no this did not stop ordinary citizens from buying it even then. And even now the AK is seen in the movies by bad guys, but it doesn’t matter. Lasts forever and attracts
A grand salute to your project ! Completes my 70% of the comprehension of small arm weapons with hammer head firing mechanism, gas operated assault rifles , cutomed for a Kalashnikov..! 🙏🙏🙏
No doubt your firearm animations are excellent and win the Blue Ribbon! Very helpful toward understanding the mechanics of firearms. Seeing the detailed inner workings answers many questions that I have. The "how exactly does that function ?" is addressed like no other. Your videos have saved me lots of money on basic and rudimentary gunsmith services. Thank you
i am not that surprised to see how the ak47 works. but just thinking how much of the brain used to make a video like this with a good detailed and with amazing animation. SIMPLY GREAT!!
You should have said "80-100 million produced" or something because at 0:24 it makes it sound like the firearm itself has 80-100 million pieces. Its just a bit confusing still a great video!
Lol. Being that I know nothing about guns, I thought what you said..."Wait, this rifle can't be made from 800-100 million pieces. That can't be right, can it? Naaaa."
@@alvinoid12 right, but seeing as this is a video on the parts and functionality of the rifle, it was the wrong choice of words. "iin circulation" wouldve worked too. literally anything other than "parts"
I love watching any How To or How it's Made videos ! In particular this channel because you have automotive related videos too not just guns etc.I subbed before even first ad even played lol
I'm here after seeing the AR-15 video. I never liked the way AK's looked, but now I understand why they're so popular! They're so incredibly simple compared to the AR.
denther 16 recoil is generally regarded as the push back from firing. Muzzle rise is a vector of force breaking off of the main recoil force vector due to ergonomics or asymmetric mass in the recoiling components. The original comment was specifying the muzzle rise, not the push itself. The force vector that causes muzzle rise does come from the same force that the regular push from recoil comes from, but they are two different aspects.
I like how I find this video about a year after I painfull assembled my knowledge on firing mechanisms and operating systems via textbook knowledge, blueprints and wikipedia articles xD great work, splendid animation. I would love to see a Video on parabellum guns or the notorious H&K delay systems. Great content!
Just a fun fact. Kalishkanov actually hated his own creation. That reason alone is because all he only wanted was a good weapon for troops to protect his own country, but instead it grew so popular that it's being used by the wrong hands.
