paperchasin23 That’s like saying Eddie Van Halen stole his finger-tapping technique from Randy Rhoads (if you’re even old enough to comprehend that reference). People can refine existing ideas or even invent the same idea simultaneously without stealing from each other. Look how many times beer making, a very specific process, has been independently “invented” throughout human history. Only knuckle-draggers who are already predisposed to think is such terms see such events as theft.
@KhakiPeach67 8 shots of .45 ACP and accuracy out past 50 meters doesn't sound outdated to me. Unless you're hunting attack helicopters or defending yourself against waves and waves of people, it'll do just fine.
I thought that a part of the gun hit the bullet so hard that the bullet becomes leathle I didn't know that the bullet had explsoves in it then bill nye told me and that explains why the part of the bullet comes out when shooting in games I thought that a bullet had an extra shell

Sorry to sound dumb, but the video made me think that the grip safety would possibly be annoying. Does it ever not let you pull the trigger when you're grasping it still?
@@Kuli24000 I've never had problems with the grip safety. In budget 1911 platforms, it could be an issue if you don't grip the weapon just the right way. I have an IMI 1911 and it's NEVER failed to fire. It's never jammed. It's never failed to feed. I've had the weapon for nearly 20 years. Puts thousands of rounds through it. It has saved my life. Literally. Between my 1911 and my Sig Sauer, I don't know which I like more. If I could find one for sale, I'd snap up a 1911 chambered in .357 sig. I could retire my P229 then.
When something is developed and put into service in 1911 and is still in service today with little to no variance, you know it's quality. John Browning is easily one of the greatest firearm designers/inverters of all time.

Let's be objective here. 1911 has a single stack mag. so we're talking 7 or 8 rounds. Standard double stack mags usually range from 15 to 20 on most modern handguns. Not to mention polymer handguns weigh substantially less. There are plenty of good polymer handguns but i'll use a Glock for the sake of weight comparison: Glock 19 (stock) w/16 rounds of 124gn (9mm) - 30.8 oz.
Kimber Custom II w/8 rounds of 230gn (.45 acp) - 44.7 oz. Glock 21 (stock) w/14 rounds of 230gn (.45 acp) - 40.1 oz. And keep in mind that while .45 acp theoretically has more muzzle energy, studies that have surveyed hundreds of actual real-life shooting incidents show that .45 acp produces about the same rate of death and incapacitation as 9mm. So you might as well choose the one that gives you more shots per weight.
@@MaximumNewbage the old but mostly tired argument about double stack magazines. I'll play devils advocate here and give Joe blow street hood that knows nothing about tactics let alone proper use of concealment and cover. Then I give a combat experienced veteran a 1911, put them both in a cemetary at night and tell them only 1 can walk out alive. My money is on the vet, fuck your double stack magazines.
@@bryanblack526 Right... because war boils down to two people having a one-on-one duel in a cemetery at night, huh? You should read some statistics. One of the primary determinants of victory in firefights in war is volume of fire. If magazine capacity and round count didn't matter, we wouldn't have switched from full sized rifle rounds to intermediate cartridges. And we'd all still be using guns like M1 Garands with 8 shots needed before a fucking reload. More rounds per reload + lighter ammo (or lighter magazines) = greater volume of fire per soldier. Oh and guess what? When NATO was trying to decide on a standardized calibre shortly after WWII, it was the conservative big wigs in the US Military that put their foot down and refused to change, insisting on 7.62 x 51 when Britain wanted to jump straight to an intermediate calibre. The result? They redesigned the Garand for full auto fire and use of a detachable magazine and tried to use it as a standard assault rifle (AKA the M14). We all know that was a fucking terrible idea. Took decades for them to get with the program and agree to 5.56 x 45, after they saw how effective 7.62 x 39 was with the AK. And in your example, why is it Joe blow vs a Veteran? It should be two veterans. The way you structured your example feels like even you subconsciously admit that skill level being equal, higher mag capacity is just straight better.
@@MaximumNewbage who said anything about war? I'm talking about self defence, I'll put knowledge and experience armed with a 1911 or even a revolver for that matter against ignorance armed with a double stacked magazine , besides, this is just an informative video on how a 1911 works, you're the one that turned it in to a competition with a glock, uh, in reference to your volume of fire, look at the statistics of casualties to rounds fired between 4 years of WWII and 13 years of Vietnam, then feel free to get back with us.
@@bryanblack526 Um.. Dude... the entire response I made was a comment on why 1911 is still in service. The original comment mentioned it as evidence that 1911 the best thing ever. And my response was "Military Decision Makers being conservative". So your answer to "who said anything about war" is pretty obvious man. And in your example, why is it Joe blow vs a Veteran? It should be two veterans. The way you structured your example feels like even you subconsciously admit that skill level being equal, higher mag capacity is just straight better.
I just watched a video explaining how it works and a cut out to see the internals and I still can’t even imagine how to put one together. John Browning was a genius

This is far and away the most awesome presentation I've ever seen of the internal mechanism of a 1911. Cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and time this must have taken. I also cannot understand how anyone could give the video a "thumbs down." I guess there will always be haters.
My thumbs down is a direct result of the unnecessarily dramatic music. Not only is it campy to the point of distraction but contradicts the supposed 'purely educational' nature of the video.
Don't know what you mean, but don't take it too "seriously." :) I like mushrooms, my girlfriend doesn't. I like the animation as it is, you don't. I think, both of us can live with this scenario.
If only you were around 50 years ago making these videos. It would have been so simple watching one of these in boot camp rather than having the instructor trying to explain how it works. Excellent job, sir!

John Browning was a genius. The Browning MG (M2) was my favorite and best work of art. His best design so far. Such a masterpiece. This thing would RIP through anything !!!!!! *It was a beauty and a beast at the same time!!!!*
jeffunruh I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
The truly amazing thing is that John Moses Browning visualized the pistol in his mind, then sat down and did the machinists drawings, then built the prototype. Remington bought most of his patents. Some they decided to make, but they bought most of his designs to prevent any other company from making them.
The animations and explanations of the mechanisms are amazing. One thing that was not mentioned here is that this gun fires from a locked breech, and when the barrel moves backward and pivots down, the locking lugs on the top of the barrel move down out of engagement with the corresponding grooves in the slide. Most pistols have this sort of locking mechanism, and it is the principle difference between a "blowback" and a "recoil-operated" gun.
@@brandonzidzik yes but the video claims the tilting action only helps the cartridge feed into the barrel. While it does aid feeding, the barrel actually moves backwards with the slide in the locked position for just a few millimeters before dropping down into the frame and allowing the slide to move all the way to the rear. It does this so the gun doesn't explode, you see in a traditional blowback handgun only the weight of the slide and spring are keeping the round in the chamber, when the round is fired the pressure will try to escape through the pass of least resistance. Hopefully if you have enough weight on the slide and spring the pressure should force the round out of the barrel before the gun tries to extract the round or else the bullet case will explode without the support of the barrel, too much weight and the gun won't cycle . The problem with blowback is you need a super heavy slide and recoil spring to make the guns work properly with higher pressure handgun calibers, that makes guns overall more heavy and much harder to chamber a round manually. So instead of using just the mass of the slide to keep the cartridge chambered long enough to allow the round to fully leave the chamber and pressure in the case to drop, the 1911 for example allow the barrel and slide to move together under recoil while still having the cartridge fully locked into chamber, only until a certain amount for distance does the barrel drop down unlocking it from the slide and the round is ejected, by then the bullet has fully left the barrel. This is better than traditional blowback because now the slide and recoil spring can be alot lighter, especially for high pressure calibers like 10mm. In the video they make it seem like it's just a blowback, which it is not. Sorry if I'm bad at explaining this, I think there are videos that shows the difference alot better

Very nice. Makes you really appreciate the many months of effort John Browning spent in his workshop using his imagination and hand tools to perfect the design of the 1911. Over a century later and it's still one of the most popular firearms in the world. I'd call that a job well done.
Oh, were you to find an animation of a revolver's innards you'd soil yourself if this causes you problems. The only reason revolvers are considered more reliable than semiautos is the (c)lockwork is sealed in the frame and nothing operates under anything more than spring pressure.
This guy deserves every single accolade not just some prize or medal Just the animation style is infinitely superior to rambling and sketches without a single iota of proof needed !! This really made my day.😊

Underwood95 no an extremely complex, well engineered device that are capable of killing are satisfying to watch because they are used quite frequently in entertainment yet most people don’t know their intricacies. Cars accidents have claimed over 40,000 lives last year so I guess if you watch a video on how cars work that makes you “regressive” too right?
The best animation I've seen so far. However, there is one step missing in detail: the extractor and ejector. The inside extractor grabs the empty brass then rides the recoil to the the ejector (the small raise portion on the back of the slide), thus sending it flying. This short recoil operated system is still commonly used on most handguns!

The result? They redesigned the Garand for full auto fire and use of a detachable magazine and tried to use it as a standard assault rifle (AKA the M14). We all know that was a fucking terrible idea. Took decades for them to get with the program and agree to 5.56 x 45, after they saw how effective 7.62 x 39 was with the AK.
And in your example, why is it Joe blow vs a Veteran? It should be two veterans. The way you structured your example feels like even you subconsciously admit that skill level being equal, higher mag capacity is just straight better.
@@MaximumNewbage who said anything about war? I'm talking about self defence, I'll put knowledge and experience armed with a 1911 or even a revolver for that matter against ignorance armed with a double stacked magazine , besides, this is just an informative video on how a 1911 works, you're the one that turned it in to a competition with a glock, uh, in reference to your volume of fire, look at the statistics of casualties to rounds fired between 4 years of WWII and 13 years of Vietnam, then feel free to get back with us.
@@bryanblack526 Um.. Dude... the entire response I made was a comment on why 1911 is still in service. The original comment mentioned it as evidence that 1911 the best thing ever. And my response was "Military Decision Makers being conservative". So your answer to "who said anything about war" is pretty obvious man.

Learning about ballistics in CSI class and this really helped me understand how primer works. Thank you!
I just watched a video explaining how it works and a cut out to see the internals and I still can’t even imagine how to put one together. John Browning was a genius
Very good explication and animation! Your work is fabulous!

This is far and away the most awesome presentation I've ever seen of the internal mechanism of a 1911. Cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and time this must have taken. I also cannot understand how anyone could give the video a "thumbs down." I guess there will always be haters.
My thumbs down is a direct result of the unnecessarily dramatic music. Not only is it campy to the point of distraction but contradicts the supposed 'purely educational' nature of the video.
Or trolls
It's edutainment, but thank you for your feedback though :)
'Edutainment'? Are you serious? When did the entirety of the English language become subject to the rules governing Hollywood couples?
Don't know what you mean, but don't take it too "seriously." :) I like mushrooms, my girlfriend doesn't. I like the animation as it is, you don't. I think, both of us can live with this scenario.
Absolutely amazing engineering! Thank you for great animations in video!

One of the best animation I have seen about how a gun works.
If only you were around 50 years ago making these videos. It would have been so simple watching one of these in boot camp rather than having the instructor trying to explain how it works. Excellent job, sir!
It’s truly amazing how firearms work. I love learning the small differences in how different guns functions. So cool

Watching this during the 2020 Quarantine. Love these videos!
this is an absolutely great demonstration of how short recoil operation handguns work maybe the animator can make one for other actions and handguns like internal stryker fire weapons
all politics and social nuances aside, this is such an elegant and beautiful piece of technology

John Browning was a genius. The Browning MG (M2) was my favorite and best work of art. His best design so far. Such a masterpiece. This thing would RIP through anything !!!!!!
*It was a beauty and a beast at the same time!!!!*
This animation is so detailed and smooth! Great work!
Very clear illustration of the chambering and firing mechanisms in the M1911. Thank you!

The design of M1911 is simply astounding and art of work. Every detailed parts make this pistol a beauty to watch in cut sectioned figure.
The truly amazing thing is that John Moses Browning visualized the pistol in his mind, then sat down and did the machinists drawings, then built the prototype. Remington bought most of his patents. Some they decided to make, but they bought most of his designs to prevent any other company from making them.
Bloody hell. That is incredible.
The animations and explanations of the mechanisms are amazing. One thing that was not mentioned here is that this gun fires from a locked breech, and when the barrel moves backward and pivots down, the locking lugs on the top of the barrel move down out of engagement with the corresponding grooves in the slide. Most pistols have this sort of locking mechanism, and it is the principle difference between a "blowback" and a "recoil-operated" gun.
Sad this video doesn't mention one of the most unique part about the design, it's short recoil tilting barrel action.
@@nickloven6728 ruclips.net/video/EjQrhDKDWFk/видео.html eh?
@@brandonzidzik yes but the video claims the tilting action only helps the cartridge feed into the barrel. While it does aid feeding, the barrel actually moves backwards with the slide in the locked position for just a few millimeters before dropping down into the frame and allowing the slide to move all the way to the rear. It does this so the gun doesn't explode, you see in a traditional blowback handgun only the weight of the slide and spring are keeping the round in the chamber, when the round is fired the pressure will try to escape through the pass of least resistance. Hopefully if you have enough weight on the slide and spring the pressure should force the round out of the barrel before the gun tries to extract the round or else the bullet case will explode without the support of the barrel, too much weight and the gun won't cycle . The problem with blowback is you need a super heavy slide and recoil spring to make the guns work properly with higher pressure handgun calibers, that makes guns overall more heavy and much harder to chamber a round manually. So instead of using just the mass of the slide to keep the cartridge chambered long enough to allow the round to fully leave the chamber and pressure in the case to drop, the 1911 for example allow the barrel and slide to move together under recoil while still having the cartridge fully locked into chamber, only until a certain amount for distance does the barrel drop down unlocking it from the slide and the round is ejected, by then the bullet has fully left the barrel. This is better than traditional blowback because now the slide and recoil spring can be alot lighter, especially for high pressure calibers like 10mm. In the video they make it seem like it's just a blowback, which it is not. Sorry if I'm bad at explaining this, I think there are videos that shows the difference alot better

Very nice. Makes you really appreciate the many months of effort John Browning spent in his workshop using his imagination and hand tools to perfect the design of the 1911. Over a century later and it's still one of the most popular firearms in the world. I'd call that a job well done.
Nice

Beautiful animation....that makes me appreciate my SW revolver.
Why would it tho, ones semi auto the other is revolving action.
Oh, were you to find an animation of a revolver's innards you'd soil yourself if this causes you problems. The only reason revolvers are considered more reliable than semiautos is the (c)lockwork is sealed in the frame and nothing operates under anything more than spring pressure.
@@mfree80286 truth. Revolvers are simple in user interface but complex in mechanical operation

Underwood95 no an extremely complex, well engineered device that are capable of killing are satisfying to watch because they are used quite frequently in entertainment yet most people don’t know their intricacies.

@@maxwell_edison why so serious?
Good
The best animation I've seen so far. However, there is one step missing in detail: the extractor and ejector. The inside extractor grabs the empty brass then rides the recoil to the the ejector (the small raise portion on the back of the slide), thus sending it flying. This short recoil operated system is still commonly used on most handguns!
