@@andrewfilippo its actually cheap compared to the taiwanese company that GoatGuns is trying to rip off. But that seller is only on ebay and their replicas are much higher quality.
a toy? seriously bro? at any rate, ar-15 or m16 is something beyond than its purpose of creation. i say it is art. the mechanism of it is something more than taking lives. as an example it is like one good looking car. aesthetic and ecstatic for some souls.

This is your friendly neighborhood gun shop employee here to tell you that now is a great time to buy your first firearm. And an AR-15 is an excellent choice for a new timer. Head to your local shop and just ask around you know.

@@ISAK.M it’s nice to know how your tools work if you intend to use them properly or want to know what might be the cause of a particular issue.

As a 3D artist and animator I just have to show a profound appreciation for the quality of this video. As an army veteran, I have to express an admiration for the deep understanding of this weapon system that this video’s creator displays. This is unarguably one of the best educational videos on the internet for the armalite rifle design… if not the best…

Matt Rittman: *makes ar-15 animation*
This is by far the most informative animation of an AR-15 I've ever seen.
That's Matt Rittman for ya!
I honestly thought this was either an army or usmc intro course on how the ar15 works. Seeing the animation on the BCG would have been such a great tool to have back when I went through basic.
I had no idea burst modes are achieved purely mechanically. That is very cool.
It was a change from SEMI to BURST mode; AUTO stayed normal.
Anything with a gun is mechanical is it not?
@@RTFMhvac Probably means they thought people were pulling the trigger for a few rounds and then letting go, and then pulling a few rounds and then letting go. As opposed to the weapon being designed to fire 3 times before latching again and having to pull the trigger.
How else did you think they worked?
Guns are marvels of pure mechanical engineering
None of that digitalized semi conductor bullshit
wtf did you think it was? magic?
Any owner of any firearm should watch these animations. It’s important, dare I say critical to understand how a firearm you own operates.
Agreed! Especially his video on how a Glock works. It sheds some light on how safe they actually are, even without an external safety. Would help new people carrying concealed be more comfortable carrying with a round in the chamber.
Even better is to read the manual that comes with it. The manufacturer tends to know how their gun works
@@thetrentpete the manual is a good source, but this visual is great to watch along with reading the manual as it helps people who aren’t familiar with how this type of firearm works understand it better
@@GrahamLewisMusic agreed. The manual will teach you how to use it safely and properly, this teaches you how it works.
A 60+ year old design and it still looks like the future.
Take a look at the SR-71 Blackbird and the A-12 Oxcart. They are why I have no belief in extraterrestrial vessels visiting Earth. There is technology hidden from us that will dazzle us beyond anything the motion picture industry can ever show. Other nations also have technology that the public has never seen. There are U.F.O.s, laser guns, exoskeleton armor, cloak, stealth, hypersonic air vehicles, and much more. They are simply not of extraterrestrial origin.
Yeaaaa i loved the burst mode mechanics

@@justsomelazyboi yeah that is really interesting. I never knew how that worked. I would think 3rd burst is better than full auto.
Well said
As someone who was raised in a firearm-free environment and now interested in getting into the rabbit hole of firearms knowledge, this series of animations is exactly what I've been looking for. Really excellent stuff that makes all the mechanical details easy to understand.
Thanks so much man :)
@@mattrittman hey have you seen the meme :)

Same! They are really interesting pieces of engineering, even if I'm an anti gun person, I'll admit there is something so fascinating about them
@@beguate185 I do, but I was raised in a liberal state so I wasn't exactly familiar with firearms growing up. I am now a gun owner and enthusiast myself and continuously working to build a greater understanding of the mechanical operations.
This is by far the best animated presentation of the mechanical operation of how an AR-15 functions.
Don't forget it weighs as heavy as "10 boxes you might be carrying" and "fires 50 BMG rounds" XD
and be careful of the AK-15, it’s far more dangerous than a car 🥶
Let us admire at 2:17 the miniscule rebound of the hammer and firing pin. He didn't have to animate that, probably very few people noticed it, but man it's these little touches that elevate this to an incredible degree.
Glad you noticed this :) Really appreciate the kind words!
You right. He definitely didnt have to put that in. Shows how much he likes what he does.
good point houston
That detail is one of several reasons why microstamping will not work do to the multiple strikes the firing pin makes on the primer, good observation.

This is the best cutaway animation and description of how the AR/M16 platform works that I've ever seen. Very well done!
This video is unironically a million times better than every attempt the Canadian Forces has done to show how the C7 (our variant of the M16/AR-15) works, not only being technically superior on every level, but in a way which is fascinating and genuinely captures ones attention. Its very easy for a video of this type to be dull. Great job!

This is beyond perfect. I watched a few videos that also had animations, and some that showed the actual parts in motion on a rifle, but this is a beautiful, comprehensive animation that shows everything. This would answer any of the questions I had about how they work. The 3 round burst in particular was something I could never understand until I saw it animated.
Thank you so much for the nice comment!
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful 🙂
This is a superb animation, with quality like that it's not a problem that Matt takes months to do them, it actually makes sense... a lot of work goes into those.
Yeah quite honestly the man has the permission to take all the time in the world. They are absolutely iconic and look like they were produced by a team of CGI artists that the NRA paid a lot of money for.
I suggest Animagraffs, similar kind of animations, but he does vehicles and other interesting stuff
Gotta admit, whether you’re an AR or AK guy, the way the AR-15 works when Eugene Stoner made it in the late 1950s is nothing more than a great marvel of Firearm Engineering.
The Stoner 63 takes the cake when it comes to engineering. I'd highly recommend watching the Forgotten Weapons video on it. It'll blow your mind with just how complex a modular weapon system can be.
YO 🔫ruclips.net/video/zCSrPsCYxhA/видео.html
Except I'm not a fan of the charging handle. If it were a side charging rifle like the AR-18 it would be way better imo and not need that stupid forward assist.
They come in that flavor.
@@hansblitz7770 Yes, thankfully they do, but only a few companies make them that way. All the hype is buying a $150 charging handle.
I just finished my first AR15 5.56/.223 build and I'm looking to start another in 300 blk. This is super helpful in learning more about the hows and whys of assembly as I go and even how I can better care for the parts of my rifle. Its helpful to know where the contact parts are and what i should be looking for during maintenance and cleaning.
I like how you can see how all the parts are working inside the gun. It’s hard to understand just seeing the outside of the gun but you nailed it!
What a stunning piece of mechanical engineering.
Now he needs to do a video on how to modify it to full auto.

Such brilliant engineering. You would think it's simple but there are so many components that are required for a gun to fire, especially automatic. It's still complex but this breakdown provided a perfect insight
Guns are so cool in how intricate yet simple they are. Every moving part works together at the same time, given that the user is handling the gun correctly, otherwise malfunction can happen.
2 Things:
1. This is probably the best gun animation video I’ve ever seen
2. It’s a miracle this is still on RUclips. (Especially the Full Auto description)
I know what you mean with YT's paranoia, but even showing it is a long way from actually being able to create one, or even modify an AR.

I'm just amazed at how all of this happens in the blink of an eye once this process is broken down.
Thank you for this video. I gained a lot of information now on how the AR-15 works. I'm picking up mine tomorrow from the gun store. I've had rifles, shotguns, and pistols but this is my first AR and I was a little intimidated on how it works.
As a Marine I fired the old M-16-A1. The internal functions have not changed since the rifle was first introduced way back around the time I was born (almost 65 years ago). When you've got something that works, you keep it.
It's also nice to have these videos available to show people who don't know anything about guns that an AR-15 doesn't fire anything at a higher velocity just because it looks different than other rifles. It's the AMMO that determines velocity, not the gun.
Barrel length can affect velocity. 26 inch barrel to a 16 inch barrel can drop velocity 200 to 300 FPS in the .223/5.56 depending on the ammo. Dead on that looks don't affect velocity.
barrel length also impacts velocity
edit. removed last part, i remebered wrong
Velocity depends on both - Bullet and rifle
@@sgdadfgdfgadbdfbd nope. The combination of barrel length, barrel tightness, number of turns in the rifleing, bullet weight, mass and type of powder are determinating the velocity. A longer barrel can increase or decrease the bullets velocity, depending on the other factors. More spin helps to stabilize the flight path, but the more turns the rifleing has, the more it brakes the bullet while traveling through the barrel. Rifleing can't add energy, it consumpts it while using it to rotate the bullet.
@@sgdadfgdfgadbdfbd - Um…what? That’s utter nonsense.
Getting to see all the inner parts of a complex machine that has such delicate linkages is a treat, but your designing of it takes it that extra step and makes it so engrossing. Excellent job, this is beautifully made

It’s awesome to know how these guns work

I work on automated packaging machinery and there are so many mechanisms that are alike in them and firearms. I love the engineering in all automated repeating machinery, so simple yet so complex and it all works seamlessly when maintained correctly. Great video, really.
Years ago I worked on high volume manufacturing machines. The parallels I saw between powered Gatling guns and continuous motion machines is strong. I always felt like it would be a fun project to make a powered Gatling gun.... just never worth the felony conviction risk.
@@matthewbeasley7765 Odd that you mention that. I saw a guy in the '80s make a pair of Ruger 10/22 rifles into a sort of Gatling gun, minus the rotating barrels. So it really wasn't a Gatling, just in the spirit of the rate of fire, lol. Later in the '90s I machined a few mounts and a some of the guys I worked with lent our 10/22s to the project for a 6 rifle array in the shape of a sunflower with a cam firing trigger actuator that was made from of all things, old bevel geared egg beaters, lol. Driven with a 7.2V Makita drill, the cyclic rate was insane and could empty 180 rds. in just under 30 seconds. Barring a jam that is. Accuracy was not of importance to us, we were just mucking about as my British friend put it. But after that we stacked a few of our Mini-14s together and used a chain driven cam system that was reminiscent of the 10/22 cam firing mechanism I saw way back when and it was definitely something to be feared. This was hand cranked and could empty 80 rds. as fast as you could move your wrist. And we used an old barn for target practice to see what target pattern we could follow. It was impressive to say the least as to how many rounds met the intended targets. Either setup could hold off any number of ne'er-do-wells with ease, lol!! Cheers.

@@genefogarty5395 Honestly, thought of a joke with the 10/22 Gatling Piece, and it just sounds funny to me so I’ll say it right now.

Hermosa animación
Excelente explicación
Bravo,bravo
Se gano mis respetos
kinda amazing they can make this complicated process in full auto and reliable.
Very impressive. Now I'm trying to imagine all those processes working at full auto. Perfect engineering
i had the same toughts.

Yup, all the precision fitting of parts, and even more impressive the dynamic balance of forces, vibration and harmonics all have to be right for it to work reliably. Then throw in having to account for different pressure and weights of cartridges. All in the details.
How a Silencer works would be an amazing addition to your videos. Keep them up.
There’s no moving parts in a suppressor lol. It’s the same thing as a muffler. The hot gasses are just cooled and slowed by baffles and it takes out that supersonic crack
I dont think anyone said a suppressor had any moving parts.. What I meant and I should have clarified to avoid responses like this is how do the mechanics of a suppressor work. Mechanics does not mean there are moving parts either. It means “ the details of the way something works or is done.” I know how a suppressor works but seeing a video explanation like this would be awesome to watch and would be cool for people who do not understand how a suppressor works. Thats all.
@@craigm3011 A video would be gasses going through baffles. That’s it. Dumb question
I guess for people who have a low IQ or were dropped on their head, a simple explanation like that is all you can understand and I should have taken people like you into account. Sorry for my lack of insight into your deteriorated mental capacity. Seeing a video explanation would show the movement of the gasses through the firearm and through the baffles of the suppressor showing When a trigger is pulled and the striker ignites a primer and sends a bullet down the firearm barrel, it’s trailed by hot and expanding gases from the combustion of the primer and powder. Suppressors collect, cool, and reroute those expanding gases. Seeing the movement of the gasses and effects of the suppressor would be cool to see and would be nice for people who actually have a brain to watch. Maybe SpongeBob square pants is more down your alley? Sorry for over estimating your mental capabilities. I wont make the same mistake twice. =)
@@xAeschylusx Not necessarily a dumb question, it just works the same exact way a car muffler works. And there's really no such thing as a "silencer". That's the thing Hollyweird has screwed up.
Absolutely the best animation of ar operation ive seen. Can definitely help with diagnosing fire-feeding problems. Thx
Everytime I watch a video I'm more amazed than the previous one. Impressive work, truly a genius
I remember asking Matt to do this exact video and he replied he would. And now that its finally here, I am NOT disappointed. No one does firearm animations like Matt Rittman. 👍
Thanks so much Abdul, that really means a lot man.

These videos are great man! Ive been using a little crosman SBR .117x4.5mm and the functions are almost identical since its c02 gas blowback, and this helps me to understand it more. With my rifle I know how to use it of course, but seeing the internals helps a lot with trying to figure out any new parts that may be needed(or wanted lol; treat yo self) and how those work to pick the best one for your build. Currently awaiting deer/hog season, hopefully we can get some deer or hog meat in the freezer- runnin low already.
This was absolutely perfect. Just bought my first AR. This made a lot of things very clear
This is your coolest animation yet! The music, the narration, the detailed breakdowns of each assembly and how they all work is mind blowing! Can't believe the video is only eight minutes long! Could you please do one for the M1 Garand? Or the 1911! Heck, the list of guns I'd love two see covered in your vids is waaaay too long lol! Appreciate the time and effort put into this!
Dude thank you so much Jonah! That really means a lot man. I’m working on a revolver next, but the 1911 and M1 are both on my list to do eventually :)
He did it! (the 1911)

Every piece of this gun fits so well together and it looks amaizing
