    I've been a Firearms instructor and trainer for a decade now so I can see in my head how semi-automatic pistols work but explaining it to people isn't always easy visual aids like this video save a amazing amount of time and educates people better than words can thank you for your videos.

      Ford 16, you said it all. Trying to explain to non-shooters what's happening in that fraction of a second isn't easy. This is a really great video.

      Well, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words (and in this case, a video is worth a thousand pictures), so this is totally relatable for me whenever I present idea by writing sentences instead of drawing pictures.

      Amen I've told others this and they seem to think I'm wrong the barrel floats to assist the bullet feed onto the chamber eliminate barrel vibration and make follow up shots easier. I feel I'm correct

    This video should be required viewing for all lawmakers.

    • @Doc-Holliday1851
      @Doc-Holliday1851 8 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      IngeniousFirefly Because lawmakers are woefully misinformed when it comes to guns.

    • @Doc-Holliday1851
      @Doc-Holliday1851 8 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      IngeniousFirefly I dunno about that. Conservatives generally know about how guns work. Which is why they don't constantly try to ban cosmetic features, ban guns because the look scary, or throw around the terms like "semiautomatic", "automatic", "clip", and/or "magazine" as if they are interchangeable.

    • @Doc-Holliday1851
      @Doc-Holliday1851 8 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      IngeniousFirefly It does if how the person gets shot and killed is through ignorance of gun safety. But that's not my point. My point is that when politicians are ignorant of a subject they are attempting to impose legislation on bad things can happen. Like when a politician tries to pass "common sense" gun laws, but then lays out a law in which they plan to ban cosmetic features, or use the terms stated above to fool their ignorant constituents into supporting them. That is a problem. These people are either supremely stupid or lying to their constituents, in either case they shouldn't be trusted to craft laws.

    • @Doc-Holliday1851
      @Doc-Holliday1851 8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      IngeniousFirefly Well I have no interest in arguing what either one of us sees as "common sense" gun laws, because I think it is safe to say that such a conversation would be very unlikely to be constructive. However, to bring this conversation back to my original point. When a lawmaker is ignorant of the subject they are suppose to govern they should be educated on that subject, and in a way that is unbiased. This video makes no attempt to push agendas. It simply shows the workings of a type of firearm which many people are totally ignorant about. That is my point, and I am leaving it at that.

    • @Doc-Holliday1851
      @Doc-Holliday1851 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      IngeniousFirefly Differences between different brands of guns, no. Differences between automatic and semiautomatic, yes.

    This video simply could not be any better. Perfect explanation, perfect animation, perfect break down of parts. I have to say, I expected it to be stolen from somebody until I looked at the comments. I expect less from creators, artists and youtubers with millions more subs and more resources/tools/exposure. Excellent work

    • @45Snipers
      @45Snipers  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you very much for the comment. I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but the serial number on the pistol is 45SNIPERS. It's on the right side of the slide just behind the ejection port. It's a quick way to verify authenticity.

  • @Magicoffee
    @Magicoffee 8 ปีที่แล้ว +563

    I like how the casing going out of the gun is faster than the bullet

    • @45Snipers
      @45Snipers  8 ปีที่แล้ว +157

      I hear you. If everything was shown at actual speed you wouldn't even see the bullet.

    • @Magicoffee

      @SitNSpinRecords 8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Well to be fair.. He did say it was a .45.
      I have a pellet rifle that can send rounds faster than .45 heheh
      I'll pretend it's using 240gr. Sub sonic .45 frangible wad cutters
      Those should be about slow enough to catch. :) heheh

    • @keitra666
      @keitra666 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Well uh guys.. What he meant was that the casing ejecting and flying away faster than the bullet, of Course It's not like that irl but he just saw it as a funny thing xdd

    • @RAWuhh

I cannot believe how good this video is. simple, elegant, easy to understand, attention to details, under 6 mins and as I was getting to the end I was wondering why the safety feature, for this specific model, was not addressed and you guys answered it at the end! please continue to make videos like this for anything and I was wondering if there is a video for the Glock 17 & 22.

    • @RyderDarkheart
      @RyderDarkheart 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    @TheMV1992 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    if there's no cartridge in the chamber would pressing the trigger once load the first cartridge in the chamber?

    • @christopherbrummet4997
      @christopherbrummet4997 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Not in this case. One must "rack" the slide backwards to insert the first cartridge. Some pistols do allow for this to happen, however, usually this is called a "Double action" trigger, where a first, heavier trigger pull will either cycle the first cartridge, or set the striker/firing pin spring to allow for the cycle to begin.

    • @ericlipscomb4764
      @ericlipscomb4764 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      No. A double action trigger doesn't load the first cartridge either. A single action trigger drops the sear, releasing the hammer or firing pin (already cocked/spring compressed). A double action trigger cocks the hammer (compresses firing pin spring), then releases. Think of it like a sling shot: a single action trigger performs the act of your fingers releasing the taught sling shot, while a double action trigger performs the act of both drawing back and releasing.

    Cool vid but I don't still don't understand how 'The Follower' knows when to stop the 'Slide' when it's mag is empty ?.?

    • @CodyDills
      @CodyDills 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It's really simple when you see it actually.
      The follower on the magazine has a flat cut on it. When empty, the magazine follower is at the top of the magazine. The follower pushes a piece of material on the slide stop that forces it upwards. When it pushes up and engages the cut in the slide when cycling it will stop the slide.
      When the magazine is not empty, the rounds depress the follower and thus nothing is pushing the slide stop upwards to catch on the slide.
      If you have a pistol it's really easy to look at and understand if you remove the slide.

    • @ir0nbear613

      The magazine-spring's tension will push the follower up until there's no more cartridges left and then the follower will push the slide stop, which in it's upper position stops the slide from returning into battery. Then one'd push the slide-stop down to release the slide again.

      Well, I believe you are taking it the wrong way. Yeah, I bet you guys in the USA have some people that think guns are root of all evil, we have them too. But they are in minority. From what I have seen in media and in conversation with friends from USA, you gun laws are really idiotic. All those loopholes and stuff. Majority of people who acording to you, are "against guns" (sorry for the speculation, but it really seems to me you think that way) just want proper licencing to be in efect. Even mentally ill person can get in USA gun, at those markets or what that is, or person on terrorist watch list can get a gun. And that is just idiotic and you should really change it.

      @josephgiannantonio334 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Adam Hosein most guns the barrel tilts down when cycling but some have a rotating barrel and it actually turns while cycling and some even have the barrel mounted to the frame and doesn't tilt or rotate.

    • @whosg8rb8
      @whosg8rb8 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The barrel "titling" actually is due the caliber or the round and barrel length. John Browning is still at the for front of this design with the 1911 45 acp. Every other MFG since either uses a swinging link or bushing/lug to compensate for the compression/recoil.
