This video delves into a nuanced discussion about the AR-15's operating system, challenging the common classification of it as purely 'Direct Impingement.' The creator argues that it can also be considered an 'internal piston' system, sometimes referred to as 'gas impingement internal piston.' The video touches upon comparisons with external piston systems like those found in the AK-74 and features a teardown of the AR-15. It also includes promotional content for War Thunder and sponsors like MidwayUSA and Slate Black Industries, along with calls to action for supporting the channel via Patreon and Utreon.
This video serves as a comprehensive beginner's guide to the AR-15 rifle, presented by Kevin Michalowski of the U.S. Concealed Carry Association. It aims to demystify the AR-15, often mischaracterized, and highlights its ease of use, breakdown, cleaning, and reassembly. The content covers the "AR" designation, ammunition types, operational mechanisms (gas impingement vs. piston), and differentiates between semi-automatic and fully automatic fire. Key components like the forward assist and operating handle are explained, along with a detailed look at the upper and lower receivers. The video concludes by emphasizing the AR-15's suitability for sporting and home defense.
This video provides a detailed analysis of the Egyptian Hakim service rifle, a licensed production of the Swedish Ljungman AG-42. It highlights key modifications made by Egypt, including changes to grasping grooves, a removable muzzle brake, an adjustable gas system, and the absence of a cleaning rod. The description debunks the common assertion of the Hakim's widespread use in the 1956 Suez Crisis, suggesting limited production numbers at the time and a greater reliance on Soviet SKS and Czech Vz.52 rifles. The video also touches upon the Hakim's presence in Yemen and Iraq, and its availability on the US surplus market. Production overlap with the Rasheed carbine is noted, with an estimated total manufacture between 70,000-80,000 units.
This video delves into the intricate workings of Eugene Stoner's AR system, commonly referred to as 'gas impingement.' It clarifies that the mechanism actually utilizes a cleverly integrated gas piston within the bolt carrier. The explanation details how gas is drawn from the barrel and travels to the rear of the bolt carrier, where it acts as a piston. The video also touches upon the benefits of this design, such as improved harmonics and reduced weight, and debunks the myth that the system vents directly into the magazine or chamber, highlighting its proven reliability. The description also promotes the creator's first book and Patreon page.
This YouTube Q&A video from Forgotten Weapons covers a wide array of firearms-related topics. It delves into technical aspects like gain twist rifling and compares the 6.5mm Arisaka to modern cartridges. The discussion also touches upon historical firearm decisions, such as the US abandonment of the M1917 Enfield, and explores future acquisition interests. The video addresses the mechanics of Stoner's gas impingement system, potential BAR modernization, and the reasons behind military firearms surplus and its dealers. Additionally, it provides guidance on identifying collectible firearms, discusses the decline of rimmed and rimfire cartridges, and examines modern firearm technologies like binary triggers and rotating barrel pistols. French arms reputation and the potential US availability of the L85A2 are also explored, with a brief mention of on-location battlefield footage.
