3d Animation on how a bullpup rifle works. Featuring the IWI Tavor X95. Parts starts at 0:50. Function starts at 3:17. For educational purposes. Modeled and rendered with Lightwave. Music: Technology by TonyAllians.
One thing I love about bullpups is how easy it is to reload. You can keep your weapon easily pointed at the target and reload. The grip is in the center of the gun instead of the back, so it is easy to hold the weapon while pointing it forward when you reload. Any regular gun, because the grip is in the back of the weapon, all the weight tilts forward when you reload, making it a big harder for you to control your weapon when reloading.
I only recently was able to handle a bullpup, and was pleased about the weight being in the rear. Holding up an AR for any length of time becomes tiring, even with a vertical forward grip. Not so with the bullpup. If I could only afford one...
Nah man how will you reload while being prone and also lots of moving parts as well as the trigger bar is right next to a movable magazine so if it bents while reloading you are done in actual mission and also lots of extra protection is added which just increase the weight of the rifle however I do like the bolt and the hammer mechanism in this rifle but I would go ar/ak any day of the week
Very nice. One thing I would like to suggest: When tearing down the weapon to show the bolt and other components in isolation, maybe keep some representation of the overall weapon's profile (like a silhouette or something) there for context.
Complicated? Fuck. And im trying to fabricate a functional one when i can. I’m making a mockup model out of cardboard rn. Its the R3KT from my favorite game COD: Infinite Warfare.
That was really informational. I live how simple the action seems when you know what all the parts do. I've always been fascinated by all those parts working together in harmony for one purpose.
Absolutely amazing animation, angles, colors, and work put into this animated video. I'd love this type of video for all kinds of things (not just weapons).
@@crumb6332 Battle proven my balls. That thing was barely issued until 5 years ago, most units were still using ARs or Galil. Also, being an issued rifle doesn't mean a fuck all, many armed forces had shitty weapons for years regardless of their performance (M60, M14 in the US, the RPD in the Soviet Army, etc).
Bullpups have their significant flaws though. For one you need a long trigger linkage which makes trigger feel awful compared to regular rifle, which makes them less ergonomic to use. Secondly you have the entire action of the rifle directly by your chest, neck and face, which in the event of a catastrophic malfunction will send shrapnel straight towards your neck, chest cavity and eyes, drastically decreasing your chances of surviving. Bullpups are also more complex to build and maintain, so they need good care to run properly, which if you know soldiers and battlefield conditions in general, you should avoid. There are good reasons why only so few armies adopted bullpups as their standard issue rifles: Austria, Australia, United Kingdom, Israel. These are all countries with small but highly professional armies whose particular battle doctrine suits use of bullpups very well.
Ive watched so many "how does ... work" videos and this BY FAR has been the cleanest, clearest, most informative, comprehendable video ive seen thus far. 5⭐'s
THIS is how you make educational videos. So much info and a great breakdown. There was nothing that left me questioning anything. Great video and earned a subscription from me 🤙🏽
That's awesome, thanks for your great work! If you got chance, could you please demonstrate how Norinco TYPE-97 works? It's bullpup rifle featured with strike firing system.
How would a bullpup use auto then? I know an ar has a safety selector grove to allow the hammer release to float independently along with a hammer catch but how does the bullpup do jt
The same way any other gas operated firearm that is capable of firing in full auto. The sear doesn't catch because the trigger is pulled, the gas pushed the bold carrier group backward, resetting the hammer, the hammer doesn't catch on the sear allowing the hammer to strike again.
I love guns but dont understand much of how they internally work. This made it sooo much easier to learn how the mechanis is and what a lot of the things do!! Thanks!
they are chosen because the action is closer to the stock, making it easier to handle the recoil. And also the gas blowback is probably faster since its closer to the cartridge
Ya with no buttstock space unlike m4's (which makes it unnecessarily longer). Ingeneous design really. I bet it's shorter than m4's but works like it. I think it has the same accuracy too. Idk never used a bullpop.
The typical differences between standard and sniper rifles are usually the length of the barrel and capture of the gasses so as to provide faster propulsion and tighter groupings. The reason sniper rifles aren't typically semi-auto is because of the amount of lost gasses when the breach opens. There are exceptions, but Bolt Actions are often thought as the most efficient in this regard, either in performance or manufacturing proceses. I could be wrong, but this is how I've had it explained to me. I'd be moderately surprised if there are any open bolt sniper rifles. I'm going to see if there are after I post this. If so, I wonder why the designers did so.
the former has been manufactured so that it cant possibly go full auto without some modifications that will void its warranty and also classify it as a new type of weapon, whereas a military firearm already has all the components necessary to go full auto along with minor differences in manufacturing and materials used. In short, civvie firearms are like a guard dog thats been neutered with a muzzle on the mouth (and yet retains a nasty bark) whereas a military firearm would be an ex-K9 unit guard dog fully capable of ripping an offender a new one.
the main difference is that the sear is replaced with an auto sear which does quite a few things i can't explain easily so just watch this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WtGZBL5BmZE.html derUBERmuller uhh that is an extremely stupid answer so i can imprint a word into a rifle and that makes it fully automatic?
Rhino Media typically ammunition caliber and the automatic feature (which is hard to get legally in the US). Civilian guns typically use a smaller caliber since it’s main use will be for shooting down range and home defense, while military weaponry typically have the option for automatic fire and feature higher calibers for going through armor and eventually killing the target.
This is the first video I've seen by you guys and oddly enough it's easier for me to follow than a person doing a weapons breakdown. This coming from a Army Infantry rifleman Veteran. Keep 'em coming... and I'm looking forward to creeping around your other videos. Amazing graphics!
Omg the ak is so much simpler, i feel like a middle eastern rebel would need a college degree in bullpup in order to take it apart clean it and then put it back together.
Mal Theri you cant be actually serious? You are trolling me now. Who's going to topple the dictatorships? Educated privileged white boys or middle eastern rebels? And then there is the cost and effectiveness of buying and distributing bullpup rifles with teaching classes(sunday school for bullpup). Its more effective for the covert operations to smuggle simple used up aks from previous insurgencies/wars to a group of rebels and not being able to be traced back to a certain agency.
@@patc5585 Exactly but some people still struggle to clean it haha. The New EF88 Steyr is even easier the barrel and the Reciever is one whole part now. And it has a bolt release too.
Bullpup sucks actually - Most bullpups are NOT ambidextrous. Except FN bullpups (F2000 and P90), they will launch hot brass into to your face if you're a lefty. (Yes I'm aware that some bullpups can change between left and right handed rather easy, but it's still better to have a firearm that works on both hands anyway - Ergonomics. They are rear-heavy and you can't have an adjustable stock (one of the things I like about the AR-15 platform) or folding/retractable stocks. Hell, sometimes the stock can be *both* folded/retracted and adjusted, or just remove the stock completely - Harder to reload. The magazine is *behind* your dominant hand, reaching it is trickier than conventional firearms (the P90 is an exception again, he magazine is mounted upwards) - Last and most importantly: *the trigger*. Any shooter will tell you that bullpup triggers are crappier than conventional ones. There can also be more disadvantages that I forgot to mention
The thing about it not being completely ambidextrous is it is my rifle so as long as I can shoot it that's all that matters. And it can be easily reconfigured to be left handed worst case scenario. And as for it being rear heavy and hard to control, it is actually easier to control than a conventional rifle because the center of gravity is closer to you. And as for the magazine being harder to reload, that just takes practice. I can reload my tavor faster than I ever could an m4 due to the mag release, mag well, and bolt release being highly accessible. However a person's firearm choice depends completely on the person and what they think and are looking for
Last 3 are highly subjective and opinionated. +Rear-Weight is great for holding extended periods of time, one-handed shooting. VHS-2 has retracting stock but length of pull isn't really an issue on most bullpups so why worry about collapsible stocks? +Training issue, period. Reloading is not harder at all lol don't blame your lack of training on a firearm design. +Multiple bullpups with excellent triggers (MDRX, RDB, X95/AUG aftermarkets, SRS-A2). In other words you most likely never spent an hour shooting a bullpup and fetched all your biased info from diehard AR fanboys on the internet. Use common sense.
Yo u kidding me, John Browning would've designed it in such a way that it would stay in service for over 100 years and that there would be another pseudo religion named after it.
Lekha Pratap Semi-automatic. You still have to pull the trigger for every round fired. All the gasses do is load the next round for you. Fully automatic is when the gun will keep firing and cycling the rounds until you release the trigger. Best way to visualize it is look at a single action revolver vs. a double action revolver. Then the double action vs. a generic pistol (a glock for example)
Derek Beatty Aaaah but then how is the Kalashnikov different. As when submerged in water they tend to perform better, comparatively. I heard most just lock?
Lekha Pratap well most guns aren’t designed to be fired underwater, they’re just expected to be functional when wet. A Navy Seal’s weapon will be underwater for any amount of time, but it needs to be ready to use immediately upon reaching land. Besides, a bullet underwater loses a LOT of velocity so any projectile underwater, without its own propulsion, is practically useless.
For this weapon its a gas-operated system as you already mentioned. Another way would be a recoil operated system, like most pistols (one exception being the desert eagle) and some LMGs.
Derek Beatty True..true. But the bullet could still puncture or kill, right? That is if the waters are calm and the distance less or equal to five meters?
Never handled a gun before, but this video showed me some things other videos did not show (like how the pressure actually is responsible for the reloading action too). If I who never handled a gun understand this it is certainly a well done video!
me:oh! this is gun(marveled) **sees the comment section** phd guy1: magazine bla bla bla centre of weight bla bla bla bla handling bla bla bla length of gun bla bla bla........ phd guy2:bla bla eject right side bla bla left handed phd guy3:bla bla prone bla bla mag close to armpit also me**closes the comment section**
