Firearm Mechanics Part 1: Cycle of Operations

[@JeepWranglerIslander]

I love these old videos. They're so well made for what they are, and they explain everything without missing an iota of relevant information. Not like the powerpoint slides of today.

[@metalheadMcSoft]

JeepWranglerIslander indeed! I say, let's start using films in this style in schools again! i myself am a student and i fund this video very entertaining AND informative! if we replaced powerpoint-presentations in school today with films like these, we'd save alot of time that would otherwise go to explaining the powerpoint and whatnot, and that time could be used to help people who didn't get one specific part or so, and people would learn more and faster! jesus, jeepie, you're a genius! :D

"Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such films as 'Small Arms Fundamentals' and 'Lead, it's not just for toys anymore.' "

[@GunFunZS]

The Ammo Channel That is amazing.

[@Nicmadis]

There is something about this type of old videos, not sure if it is the formal manner in which things are presented but it makes me feel I have to pay attention. Interesting in any case.

[@sethwalls8904]

It's got to be the formality of the video had me at attention the whole time

[@36thgallardo]

I wonder if these films are still used in the military. I mean it explains it pretty much perfectly.

[@sc0tte1-416]

These old videos are always the best at explaining things so that they're really understandable. There's a really good one about how differentials work.

5:17 This firing pin can double as a circus tent stake.

[@gagebradley3480]

lol true

[@tunnelrabbit2625]

This is still one of my all time favorite channels. Glad to see that it is still here....

[@1tulip]

Like a train wreck, you know what happens next, but you just can't turn away. lol. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrDposter]

I love the old "chicken wing stance" at 1:33 ... Kinda odd how much shooting fundamentals have changed in the last 70 years.

[@mytmousemalibu]

That's a cool instructional model! That took someone a few minutes to create!

[@TH3L33TM3XICAN]

This video was very helpful for me getting the cycle of operations down. Old how to/instructional videos are the best.

[@jerryreid813]

I must be getting old. Used to hate these monotone videos in school as a kid but now I find them entertaining and full of information. Lol.

[@GunFunZS]

The claim at ~@18:09 or so is not true. Blow back firearms skip the lock and unlock steps. They even showed one such gun early in the video as an example of a simpler firearm.

[@johnnschroeder7424]

Thanks for the video, clear and in an orderly manner, instructing with real clarity. I have a young nephew that wants to learn about guns and this video (and I'm sure the others) will be a huge help in explaining a lot to him in a way that will demystify guns to him. This sort of instruction is priceless, as a lot of folks get the video information far better then reading it. The interaction of explanation and demonstration give them a better understanding of the dynamics of the action with better retention and understanding. This is the sort of information that teaches instead of confusing a new learner of the actions and operations of the gun.

[@jaconbits]

I love these old videos. Still some of the most instructive videos ever made.

[@WhatIsYourMalfunction]

I wish I saw this years ago when I was a newbie. Trigger groups and bolts would have been so much easier to understand, especially on the old milsurps I was messing with.

[@Squat5000]

I saw this video 5 or 6 years ago. I was doing a project for a high school engineering class... This video (a few excerpts really) made up part of my presentation. Brings back memories. :-) Most of them bad! haha. Great work on the audio by the way. It is so much easier to understand. Thank you for posting it!

[@SystematicMechanic]

This needs to be shown in high school shop classes across America.

[@johnedgeworth5028]

Wow, I just finish watching all 3 parts to this great info clip. This info was fantastic and the best I have seen in a while. For the most part they still show these types of films but I got a lot of info from this three, that I which I could save them and share them as needed. Thanks tot he folks that posted this, and maybe you could start a channel with just great old training films that still work.

[@matthewhoover6154]

worlds biggest magazine they got there.. I really enjoyed this video.

[@metaltrooper62]

That's a really good info video. They did a good job at making it simple to understand for those that know nothing about how firearms operate. Looking forward to the other videos in this series. Thanks for sharing.

[@RJTrezise1983]

This was so good. I love the old stuff!! More please, more.

[@aceptt]

I literally forgot that it was black and white very very interesting can't wait for part 2 and 3 :D

[@Royalpainization]

I'm looking forwards to seeing more of these. Very basic very informative. I like it!

[@Davidautofull]

i like the old training films with the huge guns. check the one that makes an M-1 carbine into an M-2.

[@kingsleyikenna7794]

Wow! Much love from Nigeria...

[@TheCarbaxin]

Thank you. Very informative

[@fredmaner6551]

This is a good teaching video, old or new!

[@genebodenberger]

Awesome. Hope you explain how you have achieved each of the 8 steps once you get your belt fed rig up and running.

[@rattfink17]

cool video! thanks for uploading

[@tomj5747]

These are so cool.

[@Jesses001]

I always liked these old videos, They really go into great detail with the models. Speaking of models, where is this one and how can I get a hold of it? Haha. I want that.

[@tommymacmahon2368]

nice vids..just sitting reminicing now on how good the older simpler times look..america and australia back in the old days before they were infected with shit

[@johnedgeworth5028]

Hey Gun Lovers, watch these old training films on the Ammo channel, they are Fantastic!

[@lfarris76]

Thank you for the vids

[@highlandrab19]

thank you this is very helpful

[@mookiemoto7866]

Will you be posting part two and three on this channel?

[@Ammochannel]

Cuba libre Yes, --VERY-- soon. :)

[@rolledweedsOfficial]

thank you

[@craighansen7594]

That model they are using would be really cool to have but it needs a whole room to display it.

[@wolf2iron]

Amazing

[@sethwalls8904]

Nice, is that still the mandatory traning for the military?

[@ZASurvivalist]

For the Marines it is, they don't get any new gear.. Ever.

[@sethwalls8904]

Lol

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

Awesome. This shows me that you can easily build a bolt action rifle in under twenty minutes. :-D

[@iroekyjHD]

No...no you cant...

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

iroeky j Don't catch sarcasm easily, do you?

[@JunkfoodZombieGuns]

iroeky j Poor assumption. Acting like a third grader doesn't help your case either. Have a good day though. Peace.

[@Crlarl]

...And knowing is half the battle!

[@mflabkanonier]

Brilliant :D

[@iamnotaherobrittanyriley2896]

不错哦！清晰明了哈哈哈

[@alecubudulecu]

what's insane is that society invented this BEFORE lightbulbs.

[@kingsleyikenna7794]

I'd love a Mauser 90k or Glock 19...

[@satanshollowd]

It's no where as condescending as I was expecting :)

[@Eulicidcfinder1]

What I wouldn't do for that BAR...

[@shoeshiRoll]

2:25 ;)

[@romilsonsoares1199]

D+

[@gerrykramer6374]

2024?

[@tommymacmahon2368]

back in the days when people slept with there doors open and everyone new everyone and you bought guns from the grocery stores because the citys were safe and crime was so rare it was romanticised the opisite of todays fantasy of crime

[@szanten13]

14:41 FAIL! :-)
