I'm always in awe of such engineering. I'm a software developer and in software it often feels like you have a lot of room to make things behave the way you want to. Especially with today's system's abundance of memory and processing power. But when designing a weapon like this you must consider the trade-offs in weight, usability, safety and accuracy. To have the pull of a trigger engage three separate safety measures in such an accurate way feels like you really need to be clever in your design. It's just easier to "tack on" stuff in software, to the point where you can make something perfectly functional in a suboptimal way. For mechanical engineering like this you can't just force your way through it, it requires a creative mind with a flair for elegance. There's no one set of rules to simply follow that guarantees a good outcome. Trying to be "clever" in software is often an anti-pattern because it makes it harder to understand and maintain, while in mechanical engineering it's often the difference between something clumsy and a beautify, timeless design.

Especially when this particular engineering has life and death riding on its functionality/reliability. It MUST work. EVERY TIME.

[@alexanderquilty5705]

Software most definitely also takes on the same responsibilities, just not across all applications like firearms.

[@dyay108]

I'm a dev and i feel the same exact way!!!!!

[@siera8830]

This is pretty simple compared to an internal combustion engine or a car automatic transmission, but we can also extrapolate the comparison to a microchip engineering, they all are fascinating

[@m118lr]

…the best, MOST intelligent answer to the “cleverness “ of the innovation by Gaston.

[@juanjoporta]

The best animated explanation I've seen. Congratulations!!!

[@no.7893]

Brilliant animation as always, informative yet simple. Keep it up :-D

[@MyFavoriteDisease]

These animations are top notch. Really impressive!

[@MrIridium192]

Outstanding quality! Thank you!

[@joeguzman8396]

Some of the best animation on how a Glock works. This is a great learning video for any Glock or gun enthusiasts. It really shows how simple but effective the engineering is on these pistols. Thanks for putting this video up. You do great work.

[@s.penafiel2806]

Very glad you are back !!

[@Khanclansith]

Your work has greatly improved man.

[@llc8575]

That was some realistic animation.

[@McDrunkerson]

Really well done! Thanks for the effort!

[@philliplow5379]

Great timing, just as I'm swapping out my trigger connector bar in my G43. Little by little i'm learning to appreciate the workings of this little gun. Thank you!

[@jordanhowell3870]

i appreciate the workings of any gun

[@geauxst9]

The animation and breakdown is out of this world.

[@massform405]

Fantastic. I am a novice and getting educated on handguns and safety. This was incredible for education. Thanks.

[@MDpolo]

This was very well done. Thank you very much.

Just a perfect video, thanks

[@anthonylanci]

"Nuff said".. Great job.

[@Olafleflibustier]

great great video ! awesome ! and really great mechanic :) congrats mr Gaston Glock !

[@Marc-eb4mu]

Brilliant....first class animation

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I love how this animation properly shows the trigger reset. Most animations have the trigger return under spring pressure as if you took your finger off right after firing. This isn't how it works in reality. Thank you! Beautiful job.

[@wheelchairweaponry6822]

Wow! Very well done, and informative. Thank you!

[@birdnerdME]

Love your "how guns work" videos!

[@eternalgamer2445]

FRIKIN' LOVE THIS.

Excellent, thank you!

[@willo7734]

This is amazing animation and has all of the details that some other animations leave out.

[@JBfromKY]

Impressive animation and presentation!

[@johndaltrocanto]

This was sooooo much needed, thank you

[@45Snipers]

You're welcome John. Thank you!

[@daves.5301]

Seems so simple.... then I see this awesome animation.

[@WARTHOG4U]

Awesome! Thank you for posting.

[@jimbarrofficial]

These weapons are far more complex than meets the eye. A lot of engineering challenges were addressed and yet of course, the guns are still evolving. Thanks for posting.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Glock pretty much perfected the Browning tilting barrel design and everyone under the sun besides Beretta and Colt followed suit. Their cruciform sear and disconnector system is brilliant and simple. Walther improved on it by incorporating a fully cocked sear and single action trigger but since then (1997) the only major improvement was the increased capacity of micro 9mm guns like the P365 and the use of red dot optics.

[@ha-zze5344]

Well done, thank you very much.

[@108pel]

Excellent animation! Thanks

[@6Sally5]

Great Cad Animation. Now I understand how the Glock trigger works.. Thank You!

[@shmuckling]

Great animation! Very educational!

[@jetlag410]

Badass video. Thank you.

[@JuanHernandez-rm5dm]

Great video! For both the novice and a great refresher for the expert.

[@adonisrn]

Fantastic animation!

[@dcberkland]

Awesome animation! A great illustration showing why Glocks are some of the most reliable pistols on the market... only a couple moving parts. The same reason AK variants are so reliable. Going to watch more from this channel!

[@Shutterbug13856]

I'm a Glock Armorer and I really like this video. One thing though that was left hanging is the description of the Extractor & Ejector. All the video showed was the Extractor doing what it does then the words "Enough said" appear--no explanation of what the Ejector does. Someone watching this video with no clue how Glock's work could be left scratching their head. Again, REALLY good animation in this video!! Thanks.

[@Shutterbug13856]

@DEMHAX66642069 sexy Not being harsh, it's an observation and suggestion.

[@fireteammichael1777]

Yeah I supposed those completely unfamiliar with firearms could benefit from a little more explanation.. I was waiting for more info about the firing pin block, which I'm aware of how It works, but was waiting for an explanation that never came

[@fireteammichael1777]

They didn't touch on trigger pull pushing (with tab on trigger bar) firing pin block, allowing firing pin it's free forward travel, right? Or did I miss it?

[@maxcohen13]

EXCELLENT video. Well done.

[@steveshaughnessy8377]

That was insanely good. Thank you.

[@45Snipers]

Thank you!

[@bc_usa]

Great graphics. An inside view.

[@prakash_d_ace]

[@Obelisk57]

Great job!

[@richardj.ferrisf9153]

best video ever ! great great explain !

[@gunsnhoses1]

This is a great product youre making... and super for new learners to visualize whats happening inside... the only distracting thing for me was the looking glass constantly moving around in little circles when we are looking inside... less is more... :) thanks for taking the time to make and share these.

[@lorinelson4539]

Best animation of how the glock 43 specifically and how every semi auto pistol works. Really fantastic job. Please keep it up and show how others work especially the s&w 9mm shield.

[@LG-gx3nf]

Wow! That was awesome! Good job. 👍👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@TomRolfson]

A huge value for explaining to students how I trust the Glock in AIWB carry w/o a manual safety. Thank you!

[@LG-gx3nf]

Love the video. Very well done. Thanks for ur hard work. 👍👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@1183tn]

great job animating this

[@IvanZehirov]

The best gun animation to this day. I dont know who you are but good job brother !

[@alexrosales8212]

SO DETAILED THAT MUSIC PUT ME TO SLEEP AND WAS MORE COMPLICATED THAN NEEDED TO BE.

[@nfinity4438]

Justo la animación que buscaba. Muchas gracias crack

[@45Snipers]

Thank u.

[@PontusThePilot]

Really nice!

[@friedoutmukke864]

wow these animations are gorgeous ... even though I am not a fan of that kind of pistols, so much moving parts in it. Thats why I am more into revolvers but still nice to watch.

[@hermanman8235]

EXCELLENT animation.complete in anything maybe except the human voice.thanks for the up.load

Glock 17 is da best

[@DerPolygonianer]

@@richardlahan7068 No, not really. There are quite a few semiautomatic weapons that work quite different. Hammer fired ones for example. Or rotating barrel instead of tilting barrel mechanisms.

[@phalanx3803]

@@DerPolygonianer true but the tilting barrel is more or less the standard ATM.

[@MrChovo2]

THE BEST!!!

[@MrEricdgreat]

Awesome video the best. 👍🏽

Damm I like these types of videos. well done. Not glock fan but...

[@CSAccetura]

I'm the type that watches something operate for a few minutes while simultaneously imagining in my head how it functions internally. More times than not when I disassemble the object it is on point with what I imagined having no experience beforehand.

[@mhurley13]

Excellent

Very cool!

[@vanruatbawm7164]

Very good animation.

[@indyglf]

Very good presentation. While I’m a Certified Glock Armorer, the only Glocks I work on are my own. It’s a serious endeavor, but just a hobby for me. Your video helps a great deal to understand the functionality of the parts.

[@Potencia_Hispanica]

Exelent video!!!!

[@pushpaknigam8672]

Hand style effect is best

thanxx for showing connector and trigger reset thats something i was curious about because world of guns shows a lil different and not to well
