How an AK 47 works

This video shows how an AKM works (modernized Kalashnikov automatic rifle), 7,62x39 assault rifle designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is a common modernized variant of the AK-47 rifle. The video makes it possible to see the shape and location of the detalis of the AK : receiver, barrel, bolt, bolt carrier, cas tube, extractor, ejector, action spring ... Disassembly of the gun is shown, including complete. The video shows how the mechanism works, how its details interact,how is the advancement of the cartrige in the barrel, the egection of the casing. Still shown shot. Сreated in animation.

Это АКМ образца 1959 г. довелось с него пострелять. Анимация выше всяческих похвал. Автору большой респект.

[@AlessaGillespie487]

Great demonstration. I've seen a lot of similar videos, but this one shows the whole mechanism work so thoroughly, considering all the smallest details. I'm really amazed, AK works actually like an entire thoughtful system. Without any exaggerations, Mikhail Kalashnikov is an absolute genius.

They say that the technology was stolen. I am from Russia, I have read a lot about this.

This is the best detailed animation because it shows hoe the bolt & lugs actually works, to me that mechanism is the key to AK's robustness and reliability.

I think its so crazy how the gun is able to feed a bullet one after another rapidly in such a complex system

[@supermeatboy4844]

Wow. People thought that the AK is simple... I thought that, too. I come from the AR world and I can tell you that an AR is way more simple than this. Great design Mr. Kalashnikov.

[@rynjahrynjah8718]

Ak is simple

[@comradecatos6711]

plus you gets a firearm that last to the end of world

[@Da_Shark]

An AR is a piece of shit watch the same type of video on that system and you will see why the only reason the AR is often "better" is the insane amount of care put into those gun's where as an AK is treated like some back ally whore with sloppy tolerances in production and is beaten to death and never cleaned yet still performs as good or better than the average AR if an AK platform rifle is shown the level of care and precision that a high quality American AR gets you have a god Damn invincible weapon that is accurate up to 1000 meters

[@user33117]

@@Da_Shark "if an AK platform rifle is shown the level of care and precision that a high quality American AR gets you have a god Damn invincible weapon that is accurate up to 1000 meters" hey comrade, let me introduce you the AK 107 with its counter balanced recoil system kzbin.info/www/bejne/onvWaqZ4d89_otU

[@user33117]

In fact the AK is way more simple, easy and cheap to produce, high tolerance values for its pieces when it comes about machining, there are still aks from the first generation produced back in 1947 operating on wars around the world with little to no maintenance at all and last but not less important, it doesn't have a failure button (A.K.A foward assist) becaus it doesn't need one, i've heard stories of people using ak's that have been on mud, dirt, sand and still cycling as nothing happened, to be honest as a engineer my self, i have to admit it, mr kalashnikov was a true genious, afterall he created the most used weapon in the history off all wars and conflicts since the invention of the firearms, doesn't surprise me that every single civil war, conflict, rebelion and so on since 1947 always have some aks, hell, even some american veterans from vietnã, iraq, afeganistan and so on admit the ak is more reliable and simple to maintain in the battlefield, wich i guess is the main reason why the ak or its variants are the weapon of choice for terrorists, druglords and etc. Edit: i highly suggest the "will it cycle" series on mr brandon herrera channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJiagYCJnbGYpMk. Cheers from brazil m8

[@user-mp4rd4cb6y]

История создания этого автомата не менее впечатляющая чем само изделие. Его создал человек, который возвращался после демобилизации из-за ранения в Великой Отечественной Войне. Первые образцы делались в обычной сельской сельхозтехнике. Он приехал к матери домой на несколько лет позже, чтобы не упустить момент пока в его голове складывадась картинка будущего изделия.

Elegantly simple and brutally effective and reliable! After about 1,500 rounds trying to scrape the burned carbon from the piston face became a losing battle even with CLP, carbon buster, the real avid cleaning tool. I just use CLP and wipe it down and get into the piston groves but don't bother with trying to restore the chrome finish.

[@v_Shami]

i've been trying to figure out exactly how the extractor works, this helped a great deal.

[@mattl1925]

It clips onto the rim of the cartridge as the bolt is driven into battery. The the draws the spent casing out of the chamber, and drags it over the ejector, which kicks it out.

[@user-ux1mu5np3p]

By far the best mechanical simulation. As far as the action goes, it's very complex geometries to machine/mill and involving hot forged/heat treated components prior to assembly/riveting. Procedures that would have involved a long assembly line of hundreds of work stations manned by several hundred unskilled or semiskilled factory workers each trained in just one specialty. I would love to know how they cold hammer forged & chrome lined their barrels back in the '60's & '70's.

Снимаю шляпу, и даже не столько за красоту - за это однозначно 5+ - как за техническую составляющую, особенно по особенностям узла запирания, очень мало людей кто досконально понимает устройство и функционирование этого узла, обычно в 3D роликах все сводят к банальному повороту и не более, автор детально отработал вкладыш, затвор, раму, не забыв про такую "мелочь" как заходная спираль! Очень рад что на ютубе наконец-то появились профессиональные ролики и по исполнению и по содержанию. Молодец!

[@theophanesantoniou8539]

there s a small myth about this legendary weapon. mr kalashnikov didnt design it alone. there was a group of engineers helping him and borrow ideas from other competitive assault rifles within the borders of the ussr and not only. it s the perfect balance of taking the best elements of every weapon available for the time and equalise all these elements to the golden rule....simple, reliable, deadly caliber. of course in every golden rule you have to sacrifice something. all people say " he sacrificed accuracy" and of course it s not true once again. the sights are far away from the eye simply because during a battle the eye cannot be focused in short distances quickly. so he moved the rear sight to the front in order to make the shooter feel more comfortable and easier for him to adopt his sight quickier. it s not the best long range rifle since it has an intermediate shorter cartridge but it allows you to shoot the full automatic mode. it s not the most accurate bullet because it simply damages more if hit than being accurate. and finaly it s not the most ergonomic weapon because it simply chose to be reliable and simple
