Gas-Operated Systems In Firearms 

Great video thought me a lot and cleared some misconceptions thanks a million

：）

MayonnaiseLuther I thought you might like green gas CO2 in like air soft because I do is soft but I have Tourette’s syndrome but do you think that stops me nope

It’s a gas operated I don’t know what you mean I didn’t get it mixed up with like green gas and CO2 a how do you get gas

How would i get involved in firearms design if I'm studying aerospace engineering.

Gene Brown I agree with you. The information is very methodical and deductive. Perfect for a classroom environment. The voiceover is effective as well. I give this guy an A+

How has your learning experience and journey been going?

a bolt carrier is a part that is present in lots of guns. if I'm not mistaken, the person who designed the ak did not create the term bolt carrier

I think its for the locking purposes of the cam. Excluding the time when the cam travels in its intended path, the cam rests at one of the 2 ending points of its path, in the bolt carrier. So when the interaction between the cutout of bolt carrier and the cam are both flat shaped, as in a flat surface sitting on another flat surface, a better and reliable "lock" can be achieved resulting in better motion of both objects in cohesion, compared to round shaped cams which I think would slip or play around or even get deformed because of repetitions which can alter the timing of the action. At least thats what I assume.

Should be linked in the description of the video.

The M1 Garand is in fact very similar to the AK. The AK was in fact based off of the M1 Garand.

Good question. In just about every instance I can think of, rifles/smgs are single action only. I am sure there is an oddity that I am overlooking somewhere, but single action is definitely the norm. Why this is the case is more a difference of usage. This is somewhat complicated, but most of the benefits or perceived benefits of a double action design suit handguns more then they would rifles.

Thank you very much for your reply. It makes sense, so to all intents and purposes SMGs and Rifles are single action. Could it be that the reason a SMG or Rifle has never been designed with a double action is because the bolt is larger and heavier therefore a trigger pull would require a lot of force and too long a pull making it pointless? I was wondering if you had any recommendations for books which explained the different operating systems mechanisms? I discovered one rather unoriginally called 'guns and how they work' by Ian Hogg who seems to have a written a great deal of books on firearms and military equipment generally. Its good as a general overview, but because of the breadth of the book and the fact it relies heavily on prose it doesn't really explain the detail of firearm mechanisms very well.

it's a game, available on steam "World of Guns: Gun Disassembly."

Ironbunny thank you for informing

No; the vast majority of modern handguns are short recoil (locking) blowback systems.

This has been debunked. Check inrange mud tests. Also DI is smooth with the fewest mechanic parts.

Not all the carbon gets in the action because there is vents and also it's a natural lubricant also eugene stoner knows this.

Dossier there is a forgotten weapons video were he takes one appart

You wouldn't still have an idea how it works unless you study the x-ray for a month or two.

Vitor Roma agreed

everything is obvious in hindsight......

jairo sanchez I've got better abs than you but I wouldn't disclaim that because I'm not a jew

youseff500 I ain't no Jew and if you do good keep it up I just started working out my abs that u see is 5 weeks of sit ups iam keep it up to get abs like u

Ludwig Winter They should legalise rocket launchers. They provide the best of protection against home invaders. No way you can miss. No way they live. Oops.. now mass shooters are using rocket launchers... oh well. What can you do? You can't have freedom without anxiety, amiright?

Nice strawman

Ludwig Winter look all im saying is we should be able to make it harder for mass shootings to happen. But the more I look at it, the more I begin to realise that mass shootings will never slow down. And they will NEVER stop. There's simply too many psychopaths and too many guns. Mass shootings will only grow to be more deadly, more often, and more tragic. It is the sad, harsh truth that we all will accept. It isn't that we must, it is that we will.

Banning guns does not equal stopping mass shootings. Sadly laws can only achieve so much and are sometimes even harmful, despite good intentions. Look at the bataclan massacre in paris. Way more people were killed than in the LA shooting. They used illegal guns against unarmed people.
