I'm russian I've disassembled an AK many times at school, but had no complete understanding of its mechanics. Dozens of youtube videos weren't helping either, untill i came across this very one. It's simply beautiful. Everything is so clear now, even the smallest details and nuances. Huge thanks to the author
Thanks. Spread the word and subscribe :)
Russians disassemble AK-47's at school? What the????
Yep, we actually do, as a part of military preparation program. Even girls do.
In Russia we have classes called "life safety fundamentals" on which we train such things, but more about what to do in extreme situations and how to provide first aid with bare hands and so and so on. Surprised?
name, Im pretty sure its a rare case, not every school has such classes.
OMG - this is the best animation of how AK - 47 works!

Great animation but there's no such thing as an "assault rifle". Should definitely check your terms before you make your next video

Its much simpler than the AR15.
This is the first video that actually gets me through the mechanism within 10 min. Awesome job in animation as well as integrating all the information!
Great to hear that :)
all I can think about is how good this graphic design team is. just wow. these guys are awesome!!! the models the textors the lighting is perfect. and this is why I just subbed not because of any other reason.
Excellent!
I agree. I was trying to multitask thinking "Wow, what a great weapon design" while also thinking "Such a nice graphical design!". It's hard to do both efficiently at the same time. Will have to watch it 2 more times now xP

The fact that this whole process can happen up to 600 times a minute is astonishing. Maybe I just can’t imagine it because of how slow the animation is but wow.
Honestly I never thought I'd be that interested about the inner workings of a gun but this surprisingly informative, eloquent, and summarized to the point where people such as myself will give it a shot because it's not half an hour. Bravo good sir, hats off to you!
After watching this video, I am now what people call a “gun expert”.
Unfortunately you don't even need this info to shoot up a school. All you need is a gun, which by the way is why no guns in the UK is a really good thing.

I've seen many gun animations, but this is the best by light years.
As a 3D artist and AK aficionado, a very well put together animation!
i got into 3D modeling as a hobby by using youtube tutorials for blender. the AK was the first gun i created but it doesn't look nearly this good lol. it gave me a greater respect for the things 3D artists create now that i know the time and effort they put in.
@@Nostrathomas85 I started my hobby 3D modeling like u and I also use Blender
do you have a 3D printer? i can't wait to get my hands on one. blender was tough to figure out but with it being free it was worth the challenges. i've had alot of fun with it and hopefully one day it will be more than just a hobby for us.
We have one at work. There are many AK family rifles out there for printing. TIP: If you are thinking about modeling a mesh object to print, make sure it's very high fidelity (high poly), otherwise your model will be faceted and will print faceted.
i'll keep that in mind, thanks for the tip. im hoping to get one with my tax check but ill have to get one of the cheaper printers. the idea to just think of something and create it seems wild to me.
Classic Russian Engineering - simple, robust, effective.
And better when your drunk on vodka
America spent millions making a pen that can be used to write in space....Russians used a pencil instead!
Nasa didn't want to take a pencil onboard just because it's flammable and after Apollo I fire, they're totally excluding them!
I just love Russian engineering.
And the concept is stolen from the germans.
The AK-47 is the straight sword of its time. Simple, convenient and to the point.
No doubt your firearm animations are excellent and win the Blue Ribbon! Very helpful toward understanding the mechanics of firearms. Seeing the detailed inner workings answers many questions that I have. The "how exactly does that function ?" is addressed like no other. Your videos have saved me lots of money on basic and rudimentary gunsmith services. Thank you
It's not the guns which are dangerous, but the humans who use them...
LorDDmitrius So true just ordered one for my 5 year old for Christmas... guns aren't dangerous at all....
@@M0beast my man, 5 is way too young. I will generally recommend waiting until they're at least 8 or 9 before you buy them their first concealed carry
But humans make the gun
At least, it started with humans. Now, machines make machines :)
In this context, guns are dangerous! Accidents happen to the best of marksman
You should have said "80-100 million produced" or something because at 0:24 it makes it sound like the firearm itself has 80-100 million pieces. Its just a bit confusing still a great video!
Lol. Being that I know nothing about guns, I thought what you said..."Wait, this rifle can't be made from 800-100 million pieces. That can't be right, can it? Naaaa."
Didn't think about it that way; made sense that so many are around the world.
@@alvinoid12 right, but seeing as this is a video on the parts and functionality of the rifle, it was the wrong choice of words. "iin circulation" wouldve worked too. literally anything other than "parts"
agreed..its confusing
I was sitting here trying to WRAP my brain around that So hard I paused the video for 2 mins🤔
As dangerous and deadly these things are you cannot take away the fact that this is genius technology and how it’s done
Well by themselves they're not inherently dangerous. It's the person who uses it who's the deciding factor that makes it dangerous or not.

Year 2018..a lot of modern weapons. Videos explain the ak 47... a legend
I used my AKM for 30 months - every single day on the range and plenty times in combat. It never had a stoppage for any reason whatsoever ... even when I'd slept on it in the mud or thrown it in the back of the vehicle among the 'spoils of war.' It takes genius to produce a tool so simple, yet so effective and reliable. A fellow warrior preferred an FN-FAL that he'd lovingly care for at every halt, every opportunity ... yet he still threw it into the bush after it had failed him a number of times in a very busy day, screaming "find me a 'kin AK!"
This is the best detailed video showing the mechanics on an AKM rifle by far. You can be very proud of your work comrade
i couldve seen the same video from another guy saying the same thing in about half a hour, you deserve this like and sub
GoldEnGoat yeh honestly, having quick videos is so much better than the people who expand videos to 10+ minutes or longer
they do that (make videos excessively long) to cram more commercials into it so they maximize their monetization
i am not that surprised to see how the ak47 works. but just thinking how much of the brain used to make a video like this with a good detailed and with amazing animation. SIMPLY GREAT!!
This is the first video I watched from your channel. I finally understand how gas recoil works. Excited to watch all the rest of your videos!
The quality of the animation and the detail of the explanations is simply outstanding. Thanks!
Even though i knew everything you say in this video before, it still amazes me.
Amazing, high quality production. I would like it if the extractor mechanism was included but overall this is the best AK animation video.
I can already feel how much time modeling and animating this took
only the gods know hahahahahaha imagine doing this on blender and having it fail every time you use to much boolean .....precision matters!
amazing narration voice, background music and state of the art 3D animation works. you rock ......

I love AK's, always have. By far my favorite Rifle to shoot, I'm lucky enough to have owned a few. Growing up in the U.S. as kid in the 80's the AK had a bad reputation and was seen as a bad guy weapon. But now, it's very popular and most Gun Guys here own one or have at some point. Cool Video!
But no this did not stop ordinary citizens from buying it even then. And even now the AK is seen in the movies by bad guys, but it doesn’t matter. Lasts forever and attracts
the most detailed animation so far
Great Video! I really learned a lot, not just in this specific video, but including all the educational animations. Thanks!

I like how I find this video about a year after I painfull assembled my knowledge on firing mechanisms and operating systems via textbook knowledge, blueprints and wikipedia articles xD great work, splendid animation. I would love to see a Video on parabellum guns or the notorious H&K delay systems. Great content!

Im impressed how complex this weapon system is despite his old age. I’m also surprised that the Ak almost don’t malfunction where ever u use it👏👏
I'm here after seeing the AR-15 video. I never liked the way AK's looked, but now I understand why they're so popular! They're so incredibly simple compared to the AR.
perfect description, thank you
Super! Thank you! It is the best animation!!!
You are doing amazing work, I never have seen Ak-47 animation before like that. keep it up
Im in engineering and as part of the curriculum i was did an internship at a weapons factory for one semester. we learned so much and i hope i get to work there once i graduate. i was able to see the whole process of this being made
This is a better explanation. Thank you very much for this video... Good Luck!
You should do more for different guns because this was very descriptive yet simple. I never understood why there was a barrel above the firing barrel but now I do
Best Animation on KZhead.
Already knew all this but it's nice to see a animation describing it so specifically
I love how the long stroke piston works.
ANOTHER excellent animation! I'm impressed. It is refreshing to see that someone has the technical terminology correct as well, especially when it comes to firearms. The only comment I might add is that it would be VERY informative, primarily for those unfamiliar with semiautomatic rifles in particular, would be to specify and differentiate between what is an "Assault" rifle as opposed to a plain-jane semiautomatic rifle, even if they look nearly identical in outwards appearance. Otherwise, thanks for your efforts.

This demonstration is unbelievable. Thank you very much.
Video almost as awesome as the level of complication in the thought out mechanisms
By god these are some quality animations!
Just a fun fact. Kalishkanov actually hated his own creation. That reason alone is because all he only wanted was a good weapon for troops to protect his own country, but instead it grew so popular that it's being used by the wrong hands.
Thomas Schwenke I would appreciate if you could do a video animation of how a AN-94 works. I find this weapon both interesting and complex. I watched other videos of how a AN-94 works but I find this mechanism very complicated and this is far one of the most complicated gun I ever encountered. Thank you :)
5:29 Unwanted Rising of the Barrel aka RECOIL :)
No, that’s muzzle rise due to the asymmetric bolt and carrier design and the bore axis. Recoil just pushes back
It's cool that it's self regulating to a degree
Sander van Duren no, recoil can be regarded as the muzzle zeroing off the target as well as the kick. Just for future reference :)
denther 16 recoil is generally regarded as the push back from firing. Muzzle rise is a vector of force breaking off of the main recoil force vector due to ergonomics or asymmetric mass in the recoiling components. The original comment was specifying the muzzle rise, not the push itself. The force vector that causes muzzle rise does come from the same force that the regular push from recoil comes from, but they are two different aspects.
Sander van Duren oh i see thanks for clarifying, have a good one and stay safe

I needed a channel like this when I was a kid in the 80s, I'd always get in trouble taking everything apart, Dads Power Tools, Television, VCR, stuff like that. I figured if I could take stuff apart it would be just as easy putting stuff back together. Being around 7 or 8 I wanted to a inventor and I was curious about how stuff work so I can use stuff to build robots and cool toys. I'm also mechanic now past 20 years and now I understood how pissed my Dad was when I took apart his Tools. Haha.
