Ok, I can't stop replaying this video.. You can even see the embers on each case as its being ejected..

These guys make some pretty funny videos. Nice to see a full auto slowed down that much.

If you want to understand the operation/function of the platform just watch the video....great stuff.

At times I wish my lowers had an extra hole, just for poos and giggles

Some of the slowest really looks like an animation, surreal. Even the snubby at the end of the clip is awesome.

Impressive that even at that speed the bullets are still not visible, gives one some appreciation of the high velocity of 5.56 ammo. I wonder how many frames per second it would take to actually see the bullets?

This video made me question the longevity of a polymer lower. You can see the mag well taking some torque, but I guess it is also full-auto. Cool video.

These guys have done some awesome videos... Thanks, OP!

Did anyone else notice the small brass shaving being ejected right after each round of brass? Never seen that before.

You want to see some torquing, bending and shaking, watch a super slo-mo of an AK.

what's an assault rifle?

 

[sharkey]

what's an assault rifle?

A rifle chambering an intermediate caliber that is select fire capable.

Unlike an AR-15 which is semi-automatic only, or an "assault weapon" which is an imaginary item pushed by Eric Holder for the purpose of brainwashing the People of the United States of America.

Whose definition is that? According to whom? They're both made-up terms.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Tagging for later.

Sorry the original AR15 was full auto. The designation of M16 was the gov't label for the AR15 when accepted as a service rifle.

According to the NRA, who claims that is the U.S Army definition of Assault Rifle.

 

[HoughMade]

I think we get caught up in labels too much. It's like we feel like we've won something if we can argue about what a "assault rifle" is.

"Did you hear that dumb liberal? He called a semi-auto AR an assault rifle. I sure set him straight. I bet he feels stupid."

- "So did he change his mind about gun control."

"No, but he knows, that I know he's stupid."


Likewise, "modern sporting rifle" is just a clunky euphemism.

I have a problem with the commentator saying that nothing is pulling the casing out and its being pushed back by the gasses.
