It seems like thats part of the design. The more rigid and stiff it is, the more things will fatigue or crack, letting the rifle bend and twist looks to alleviate that. IMO.

It actually takes a few metres before the gyroscopic stabilization kicks in. I suspect it's a result of turbulence at the muzzle.

[@АюрСанданов-ы1х]

Uniform Tango 74 That's actually very strange. It isn't supposed to do this by any stretch of the imagination. I think maybe it's an optical effect (considering the weapon itself is up to specs, which it must be). Even if a rifle is of the poorest make imaginable and is busted up, it still will put rounds somewhat on target (and not keyholing) at least at 50-100 meters/yards - unless its barrel is not only stripped of rifling, but "several sizes too big". These slow motion shots look like the bullet's tumbling like something shot out of a prison pipe gun would. Very strange.

[@89tonstar]

Аюр Санданов the 5,45x39 was designed to put about a 5-6 degree wobble on the bullet as it flies through the air, this allows it to yaw better when it strikes soft tissues or body armor. Same with the M16s 5.56 m193 cartridge and m855.

[@Finnv893]

Mkvine how can it fire if the bolt carrier is not in battery?

[@Finnv893]

Mkvine 1:46 it seems to be since the piston rod is part of the bolt carrier, and if the piston head gets stucked just outside the cup that holds it the bolt cant travel any further to feed the round into the chamber, you can also see that the rod is wobbling around cuz of loose tolerance

[@DystruktoBoi1]

Ricardo Carter If this was a full auto model it will not fire out of battery since in has a sear that drops and allows the hammer to fall only after the bolt head is fully closed. Probably made for some wonky rates of fire though.

One reason is that the AK-47 is heavier, because it fires the 7.62x39mm round and the AK-74 is lighter, because it fires the 5.45x39mm round. I choose the AK-74 over the AK-47, because it has less recoil and it is more accurate at long range. The AK-74 has better stability in full auto, because the recoil is much lower compare to the AK-47.

X Maneuver That usually happens if you use really cheap ammo that doesn't use proper propellant "Mostly Yemeni, South Korean, West Phillipino, Black market Pakistani, and Croatian ammo"

[@bshwkrec.7189]

I would disagree, I think the barrel is to blame not the propellant in this case.

[@FaisalAlmalki223]

X Maneuver​ Well, it might be the barrel in this case but from what I know those types of ammunition that I mentioned in my previous comment are quite inaccurate and usually when you review the slow-moving footage you will notice quite alot of tumbling and various movement inconsistencies. Always original surplus ammo or any high quality brand should be intended for use. But there is quite obvious evidence that the barrel is the culprit in this case. As you can see, he mentioned that the AK he shot in the beginning was assembled by Century Arms, if you don't know them, they are the worst AK vendors out there and their rifles are usually plagued by many issues either in functionality or form. A lot of AK rifles assembled by them have loose rivets and bad head spacing, and their barrels are usually really cheap in quality and come with hurrendous rifling that should be treated as barrel abuse.. So, I agree that it might have been the cause of the issue beside of a lot of other issues that those Century ripoffs are plagued with.

[@Olson323]

+X Maneuver Nothing wrong happens here, the tip of bullet is flying true, back is wobbling. this is how this ammo was made to fly, and it does it. it is made so that on the impact it will surely goes sideways, causing nasty bite. 5,56 was made same way at the beggining, but tumbling inside body was labeled unhumanitarian, so nato switched to SS109 instead of SS92. SS109 is heavier, more like "AP-ish" round, and thus flies straight, old SS92 did exactly same thing

[@Bulsh1tMan]

+MountainRecluse So the barrel over spins it, than when the bullet spin slows down in air, it re-stabilizes? Yea, that's something you want to avoid for accuracy purposes....

[@Bulsh1tMan]

***** Wobble is attested to either over-spinning or under-spinning a bullet by the rifling. Either way, it's detriment to accuracy. The characteristic of the round you are referring to is the air cavity at the front of the 7N6 bullet, which distributes the center of gravity backwards of the bullet, inducing increased yaw when the bullet hits a target, but the "wobble" effect should only occur terminally. Most bullet shapes have a non-forward center of gravity, it is the rifling that stabilizes the projectile once out of the muzzle. Once the bullet is out of the gun, there is no way it can stabilize itself if it's wobbling already. My guess is the removal of the gas piston tube in the video causes more leakage of the propellant gases, resulting in a lower velocity round which did not match the rifling rate of the barrel.

+Bulsh1tMan I have to think you are right. if it starts out with yaw and wobble how can it get better over greater distance?

This is by far the most informational video on the genreall topic of gas operating rifles Thanks for sharing this Mr. Vickers Greetings from Germany

Pure beauty of modern firearm. Well done video! Unfortunately We Californians won’t be able to enjoy this

[@walleye306]

I’m surprised how well it works with the gas tube off

It’s so clunky looking, especially the piston part in the front, yet it works so flawlessly.

I absolutely love this video! I just saw it again for the first time in a long while. I am a visual learner, so these slo-mo and super slow-mo shots are REALLY satisfying. 🤤😍

1:06 why was the round so unstable?

[@DennisAparaskivei]

it should have gone straight, but they're using 5.56 barrel for 5.45 ammo, that's why it was tumbling.

[@jimmyrecard6021]

@@DennisAparaskivei how do you know it's a 556 barrel?

[@DennisAparaskivei]

@@jimmyrecard6021 i saw this happen many times where the bullet just spins and tumbles. You can shoot an ak thats build to shoot 556 like a beryl using 545 and it will give the same result

[@jimmyrecard6021]

@@DennisAparaskivei the casing sizes are different. 545 wouldn't be able to shoot out of a 556 barrel.

I've seen the 'inside the M4', the music was wonderful but something about AK's, they have an organic look to them firing. It stops being a machine and more animal in nature. It's a weapon that gives its all before giving out. Mr. Kalashnikov was just a brilliant gun designer

[@msfielden]

Seriously...Great video! It was AMAZING to see the inside of the rifle during operation. Slow motion shots were very satisfying.

[@tomchimere1992]

1:06 - is it me, or the projectile wierdly floats?

[@Halal_Dan]

It's destabilized from insufficient rifling

[@iDatedMyPizza]

Yep, that's called "fleet yaw". Happens to all bullets, regardless of caliber or aerodynamic shape. The bullet will yaw in flight for a short while before it stabilizes.

[@TMega5612]

Yeah it's not supposed to do that. Either this barrel has been shot into oblivion or the barrel isn't in 5.45. Actually, pausing the video it almost looks like he's shooting 5.56.
