This video delves into the mechanics of the lever-delayed blowback operating system, a less common but effective firearm mechanism. Drawing from the 'Forgotten Weapons' channel, it likely explores the historical context and technical aspects of this design, potentially featuring examples from firearms that utilize it. The description indicates a focus on the 'how it works' aspect of this specific operating system, with the FAMAS rifle being a notable example of a firearm that employs a similar principle, though the video may cover others.
This video delves into the mechanics of the lever-delayed blowback firearm action system. The description explains that this uncommon but effective system utilizes a mechanical disadvantage via a fulcrum lever to delay the bolt's rearward movement, allowing the perceived mass of the moving parts to be amplified. This principle enables the design of lighter firearms while maintaining reliable operation. The system has been successfully implemented in various firearm types, including submachine guns, rifles, and light machine guns. The description also includes links for supporting the creator and purchasing merchandise.
This video from Brownells takes viewers to Rock Island Auctions to showcase a rare French FAMAS rifle.
