It's a shame Yuri's hard earned collection of awesome captured equipment couldn't be kept even after deactivation 😔 Oh well his team has some interesting stuff in the arms locker potentially, and his use of his machine shop and expertise in engineering/design/manufacturing of important parts to support Ukraine is more valuable overall than making insane videos as a humvee gunner... By the way it's expensive to move an entire machine shop to Ukraine and set everything back up after finding an appropriate safe location with the neccessary power requirements... So Paul aka Yuri could use your support in getting around ITAR regulations and supplying components as easy/fast as possible! 😉👍 (for those interested, he also took very precise measurements and shippable components of certain extremely rare captured soviet/russian firearms that could be produced for the US civilian market in the future to help support his efforts 😉 Although you only get to sell those once if he can't find a smaller capable producer... and usually only guaranteed to be valuable after a working proof of concept firearm has been built using US available machines/ aftermarket parts/foreign parts kits...)

Sure it’s gas operated? Because there’s no visible gas tube or vents when firing. I would have said it looked like blow-back operated but at 4:20 it fails to go back into battery, indicating a breach lock of some kind. I can’t put a finger on why but I suspect this is a delayed blowback weapon. Maybe it’s the length of travel of the charging hand, it’s given a much longer slot than necessary for gas operation. Maybe it’s the solid upper/lower receiver. My guess is the bolt looks a little like a FAMAS on the inside.
@TheArmourersBenchАй бұрын
Definitely think you're right I couldn't find anything solid about operation. Definitely not piston driven, not recoil operated. So gas blowback seems the most likely. Just not sure if its delayed or straight. Not sure what the bolt velocities are.

Unfortunately those were made of aluminum. They had very low pressures. New issues grenades are either a bit more powerful or much more powerful. Most likely modern grendes would cause that Vietnam issue grenade launch to disassemble itself right next to your face. There’s a modern five shot revolver grenade launcher that would be very helpful imo.
