This video explains the mechanics of the short-stroke gas piston operating system, a common feature in modern rifles. It defines the system as a piston that travels a shorter distance than the bolt carrier, differentiating it from long-stroke systems. The description highlights its historical significance, tracing its popularization back to the Soviet SVT-38/40 rifles and its influence on the Armalite AR-18, which served as a foundation for many contemporary semi-automatic rifles. The video aims to provide a clear understanding of how this specific firearm mechanism functions.
