It's crazy how the mechanism is so floppy on slow motion but it's one of the most reliable fire arms ever made
It seems like thats part of the design. The more rigid and stiff it is, the more things will fatigue or crack, letting the rifle bend and twist looks to alleviate that. IMO.
It's almost as if its less of a machine and more 'organic' in nature. Like an animal that will give it's all before giving in
reliable? maybe the modern ones lol
@@axxm1278 i think u don't know anything about fire arms so Stop commenting
@@longbow6416 this. there's a reason why bridges and skyscrapers are built to bend. nature does a lot of things right.
Low tolerances = never fail
The slow motion is so well done usually you can’t find gun videos like that
Garand Thumb
Really, it's a great video
Yeah exactly. I searched like 30 minutes for this.
0:27 the bullet was tumbling as soon as it left the rifle. That was the best slow motion ive ever seen
Can you tell me why it tumbling. Shouldn't it go straight.
@@phamthanhbaolong it should have gone straight, but they're using 5.56 barrel for 5.45 ammo, that's why it was tumbling.
@@danielfranciscocampostapia1913 trade ban from US.

Kalashnikov: I call it the AK
World: What is it? An assault rifle? A DMR? A light machine gun?
Kalashnikov: Yes.
actually the AK stems from the Russian submachine gun program. Basically the AK in concept is a PPSh 41 scaled up to give a similar volume of fire with an extended range.
Tuton25 still they've made types of the rifle which are on all of those platforms such as the SVD or Dragunov, AK subs, and so on
TheAlphaLupus in application it's a ppsh 41
Well, not really. StG 44 just _looks_ like AK in design, but they are all the different systems inside.
topwar.ru/uploads/posts/2012-04/1333258407_6-popup-low.jpg
Wut? PPSH is open bolt SMG, and both AK and STG are gas operated assault rifles. Btw STG inside looks more like AR than AK
I was an Armorer in the USAF for a few years and we had one of these in the rack. We handled it often but never shot it unfortunately. Beautiful weapon imo... Be safe friends...
In America, there is one is one occasion for every gun
In Soviet Russia, there is one gun for every occasion
they copied the weapon from Germany
@@nicutatarov5686 what? They only copied the gas system. Ak has a rotating bolt and the stg 44 has not. And the germans copied the gas system from the svt 40 and used it in the gewher 43. Oh and the ak trigger system was copied from the m1 garand to be fair.
@@foxy126pl6 ok, but ppsh 41 is copied or not from Finland
@@nicutatarov5686 ppsh only copied the magazine. PPSh is an evolution of the sovet PPD series.
@@foxy126pl6 Suomi KP / -31 has been made since 1931, but ppd has been made since 1940
Is it me or did that round in slowmo start to tumble in the air?
It did! I was scanning the comments section to check if anyone else had noticed it :)
It was fast... So...
potato LEADER you must be slow
@@RekzysTheTitan or wind speed?
potato LEADER from 3 feet out of the muzzle? You’re fucking joking right?
you just got to love the sound of them mechanical part's moving in slow motion
It certainly is!
This video sexually aroused me..
***** play boy
not real sounds, put in after video was captured. But very entertaining I must say
dude are you for real those are added in lmao
I keep hearing the cha-ching cash register sound from Lord of War.
Steel Talon I thought I was the only one, just put the movie onto a torrent download, this video reminded me of it :D
Selling guns is like selling vacuum cleaners
-Lord of War
Steel Talon I've been falling asleep to that movie for almost 4 years now. One of the best movies ever.
Steel Talon Lmao I thought the same thing
+Steel Talon makes me sad when i see the end of the film.
such a great infantry rifle. ammo is light as hell and troops can shoot full auto without having to worry about recoil. Massive volume of fire coming from a platoon with reliability in all extreme weather conditions.
Other videos: shows a 3d generated model with a deeper look inside
This video: let's open up this AK and shoot it!!!
the fact that thing still shoots while opened up is mind blowing to me.
edit: Yes I know it is called dust cover, we all play escape from tarkov...
Mister Fister true to it’s design
@@jaredpyle3425 yes indeed comrade, yes indeed
Not an expert, but from what I know, the dust cover plays no role in the firing mechanism, it's just for protection and keeping the inside of the gun clean.
@@k3kboi665 yeah, I think that's what he meant.
The gas piston (if that’s what you call it, correct me if I’m wrong) is what surprised, me the way it missed it marked but corrected itself in time for for next shot was satisfying to watch
ak still working without gastube damnn
The "gas tube" is more of a blast shield/piston guide than a gas tube. If that make any sense.
Ricardo Carter it didnt, 1:46 it got stucked without the gas tube in the upper handguard guiding the piston rod foward
Mkvine how can it fire if the bolt carrier is not in battery?
Mkvine 1:46 it seems to be since the piston rod is part of the bolt carrier, and if the piston head gets stucked just outside the cup that holds it the bolt cant travel any further to feed the round into the chamber, you can also see that the rod is wobbling around cuz of loose tolerance
Ricardo Carter If this was a full auto model it will not fire out of battery since in has a sear that drops and allows the hammer to fall only after the bolt head is fully closed. Probably made for some wonky rates of fire though.
1:44 as a guy, I gotta say this is relatable.
Lol, that's true, man
0:29 round tumbling like crazy?
@@mykhaylogrygoryev8578 Their should be no reason for it to be tumbling. The barrel is burnt.
It’s crazy kalashnikov are now cranking out the ak12-ak15 which is heavily modernized rifles with picatinny rails that shoot7.62x39 and 5.45x39
Everyone on this comment seems to way off. Slow down the footage even further and you'll see its not tumbling a lot more than expected. Its the distortion created around the bullet adding to the effect. Or the barrel is shot to shit. One of the two.
@@mykhaylogrygoryev8578 LOL what
@@mykhaylogrygoryev8578 if its 762 by39 ak. yes i think most of that would be worn out by today since it been through lots of wars. but talking bout 545 ak i dun see that way. I love the 545
Literally one of the best weapons videos in existence. From the sights to the sounds, a decadent truffle of metal and gunsmoke.
You guys out did yourself with this one.great video.
Yup, I think this is one of the best ones yet.
Brad Denton looked like the 5.45 round was keyholing?
***** Didn't notice that at first...
***** I've seen that kind of thing before in similar high speed footage. AFAICT the bullet isn't keyholing insomuch as it's not stabilized, just that it's not stabilized yet. It actually takes a few metres before the gyroscopic stabilization kicks in. I suspect it's a result of turbulence at the muzzle.
Imbored- those bullets were TUMBLING and no amount of distance will ever stabilize them. Either his twist rate is wrong for the bullets, or the barrel is out of spec.
My OCD when the gas piston doesn't goes in perfectly is💯
Very cool slow motion with the protective covers off so we can see the bolt in action. Great job.

Dirty dangerous edition
This was one of the most satisfying videos to ever watch and listen to. Almost like asmr for a true American!
There’s something really frightening, epic and otherworldly about those slow motion sounds. That was interesting!
Man you can see that bullet just wobbling thru the air. Wild!
Gotta respect the design. Rough operation and still delivers.
Uniform Tango 74 I noticed that too and had to rewind just to make sure I saw what I thought I saw.
Uniform Tango 74 That's actually very strange. It isn't supposed to do this by any stretch of the imagination. I think maybe it's an optical effect (considering the weapon itself is up to specs, which it must be). Even if a rifle is of the poorest make imaginable and is busted up, it still will put rounds somewhat on target (and not keyholing) at least at 50-100 meters/yards - unless its barrel is not only stripped of rifling, but "several sizes too big". These slow motion shots look like the bullet's tumbling like something shot out of a prison pipe gun would. Very strange.
Аюр Санданов the 5,45x39 was designed to put about a 5-6 degree wobble on the bullet as it flies through the air, this allows it to yaw better when it strikes soft tissues or body armor. Same with the M16s 5.56 m193 cartridge and m855.
Thx for the 411

Don't let fanboys fool you, AK74's and AR15's are both excellent guns.
No xD lol ar bad
No xD lol ar bad
этовсезабавно Tell that to elite forces around the world who use AR's and AR derivatives.
Another Eastern European dumbass who's probably never seen an AR in real life judging it off of outdated, Vietnam-era bad press.
I'd be a little more at ease if I had to go into a firefight knowing I had an AK74 or an M4 available. The only way one is better than the other is relative. AR's are better in America because their parts, ammo, and training for using them is more available here. In Easter Europe AK's are better, because all of those things for AK's are better.
Either way, they aren't the best, I'd rather take a Tavor. Or something reliable in 7.62 NATO. Maybe a modernized FAL carbine or a Scar H?
***** another Western gayrope or u.s sheeple pleb, any ak variant, or piston gun (such as scar-l )> over-hyped, issued only due to corrupt relationships between colt and politicians, di guns that can't function under adverse conditions, have to use expensive brass ammo, and need frequent cleanings and have to have a total bolt replacement after 5000 rounds
Ivan Ivanov According to every American and Canadian Special Ops group, and the SAS, DI AR's work fine in adverse conditions.
Great production!! So impressed good job showing the mechanics of a marvel of machine
Yeah if you watch LV's vid on the AR18, it clearly depicts how much flex & wobble there is on both the barrel & piston. It's a true mechanical marvel, even the magazine flops side to side as the carrier/bolt mechanism strips & depresses rounds in the mag. Thanks Larry

New or old videos, none cease to amaze me with the time, thoughts, and ingenious intuition you put into them. Thank you for your service and time. Hope to shake your hand and tell you in person sometime Mr. Vickers. Good week to you sir.
Got to love the AK-74 , quite happy with my Romanian aims 74 ... the 74's in my opinion are the best of the AKs . Keep these awesome videos coming !👍
Came for the gun
Watched the video
Came for the gun
Man that's the best video explaining AKs .
I absolutely love this video! I just saw it again for the first time in a long while. I am a visual learner, so these slo-mo and super slow-mo shots are REALLY satisfying. 🤤😍
Possibly the best gun video I have ever seen
This whole video was an absolute work of art. Subbed.
I found this video so satisfying and so many ways everything about it every angle was so beautiful
I love the attention to details how you show every piece working inside the AK-74 as a Russian I am very pleased watching this :)
Superbly done Slow motion with accompanying sound effects, bravo!
This is one of the best weapon videos I have ever seen! A thousands thanks!!!!
Such a superior design for its time ,look how controllable this gun in auto fire
Probably more the skill of the rifleman on display
Man this was gold footage, so cool!!!
Loved the detailed mechanism!!
This is the best clip I've ever seen about weapons. Breathtakingly...
i love these inside series they help me so much with modeling i would love a TAR21 inside look sincei want to know how the inside mechanism works :)
What a brilliant way to demonstrate the legendary design, of what could arguably be the most successful family of Assault rifles post WWII.👍
This footage is amazing!thanx for the video
At about 1:05, you see the extreme instability of the round as it exits the barrel.
Justin Case yeah but why at *such such such* low distance?
Is the bullet supposed to be so unstable ?
@@matthiasb5970 No, the barrel is just shot out and needs to be replaced
that's called "fleet yaw". Happens to all bullets, regardless of caliber or aerodynamic shape. The bullet will yaw in flight for a short while before it stabilizes.
The rifling would have to be completely shot out of the barrel for a bullet to come out tumbling....when they say AK rounds tumble, that is after they enter flesh....not in flight
One of the most highly satisfying videos on RUclips you’ll ever watch.
Incredible photography, especially for all Engineer nerds out there, Thank you.
I have never seen anything like it! Totally impressive Larry!
Kalashnikov: i made a gun and give it my name, do you want some?
USSR: yes
Kalashnikov: how many?
USSR: *yes*
god i love AK74M
Pretty impressive and shocking at the same time that this assault rifle is the most used till this day. Impressive to see the details in action, like you can read the inventors mind.
This isn't the most used assault rifle in the world, that would be the AKM chambered in 7.62x39 Soviet. The AK74 saw much smaller adoption, mainly in Russia and a few other countries that were part of the core Soviet Union (such as Ukraine).
It was really satisfying to watch
Just noticed in the slow mo the round within just 2 feet of exiting the weapon is tumbling end over end. So much for barrel rifling to product spin, to make the round accurate, as going end over end makes aerobatic drag.
The best vid showcasing the AK'S action!
I am an engineer. This video has some amazing footage of machinery working in perfect rhythm
How much slow - mo scenes you want?
Vickers tac.:
Yes.
These videos are just mesmerising! The filming is incredible! No one does it quite like the Vickers tactical team 👍🏼👍🏼
my first favorite assault rifle was the AK-74M and now it's the AK-12 assault rifle
Look also for AK-400. This is good old AK-47 but with recoil of AK-74.
I did a few days ago, but still AK-12 is my go to assault rifle because iron sights are much closer to the shooter's eye and you are able to put the charging handle side if you are a right handed person.
The one in this video is an AK-74 not AK-47
Shadow fox yea, and u seen that rifles only in Battlefield 3 and 4.
shijaschka the ak400 is the ak12 that was it’s pre production designation just like the first variant of the ak12 that had a thumb safety and folding adjustable polymer flat stock was know as the ak200 the ak400 variant was ultimately chosen for both the ak12 and ak15 as well as the shortened variants
One reason is that the AK-47 is heavier, because it fires the 7.62x39mm round and the AK-74 is lighter, because it fires the 5.45x39mm round. I choose the AK-74 over the AK-47, because it has less recoil and it is more accurate at long range. The AK-74 has better stability in full auto, because the recoil is much lower compare to the AK-47.
Love those reloading sounds
whoever edited this video he deserve a big ass pay raise
No one:
Vickers tactical: *20 billion sound effects*
The bolt cycling reminds me of vintage typewriters. Parts over engineered for their intended purpose... as only a fine machine. Simple, yet so much time in thought and design. Like the Uzi, simplicity and function are paramount.
Best AK video I have ever watched. It's like a cut away engineers diagram brought to life. 👍
Something so satisfying watching that rifle work and seeing the mechanical guts work
Slow mo of the bullet you can see the bullet start to tumble lol
Jeff Liu Yoshiyuki Yeah it stabilizes downrange however it shows the inherit inaccuracy of the design, not saying AKs are inaccurate just not as much as an AR.
TheDaisyDiddler inherit inaccuracies? Lol. Looks like it will probably keyhole at 25 yards. There's obviously more going on than inherit inaccuracies.
TheDaisyDiddler But still AKs are mor dependable :P
Matthew Smith perhaps when it becomes truth.
***** It is true. I don't know why I'm trying to argue with you. You're screen name says it all: your ego is invested in 5.56x45 being better than 5.45x39.
Why is the projectile tumbling?! that's bad right?
X Maneuver That usually happens if you use really cheap ammo that doesn't use proper propellant "Mostly Yemeni, South Korean, West Phillipino, Black market Pakistani, and Croatian ammo"
I would disagree, I think the barrel is to blame not the propellant in this case.
X Maneuver Well, it might be the barrel in this case but from what I know those types of ammunition that I mentioned in my previous comment are quite inaccurate and usually when you review the slow-moving footage you will notice quite alot of tumbling and various movement inconsistencies. Always original surplus ammo or any high quality brand should be intended for use.
But there is quite obvious evidence that the barrel is the culprit in this case.
As you can see, he mentioned that the AK he shot in the beginning was assembled by Century Arms, if you don't know them, they are the worst AK vendors out there and their rifles are usually plagued by many issues either in functionality or form. A lot of AK rifles assembled by them have loose rivets and bad head spacing, and their barrels are usually really cheap in quality and come with hurrendous rifling that should be treated as barrel abuse..
So, I agree that it might have been the cause of the issue beside of a lot of other issues that those Century ripoffs are plagued with.
+X Maneuver Nothing wrong happens here, the tip of bullet is flying true, back is wobbling. this is how this ammo was made to fly, and it does it. it is made so that on the impact it will surely goes sideways, causing nasty bite. 5,56 was made same way at the beggining, but tumbling inside body was labeled unhumanitarian, so nato switched to SS109 instead of SS92. SS109 is heavier, more like "AP-ish" round, and thus flies straight, old SS92 did exactly same thing
Olson323 I'll only shoot someone with a rifle if I wanted to kill him (i talking a war scenario) this unhumanitarian talks is all bullshit in war.
That's really awesome slow mo video guys. Nice👍
Larry's vidoes are absolute works of art.

It stops being a machine and more animal in nature. It's a weapon that gives its all before giving out. Mr. Kalashnikov was just a brilliant gun designer
