      That’s like saying Eddie Van Halen stole his finger-tapping technique from Randy Rhoads (if you’re even old enough to comprehend that reference). People can refine existing ideas or even invent the same idea simultaneously without stealing from each other. Look how many times beer making, a very specific process, has been independently “invented” throughout human history. Only knuckle-draggers who are already predisposed to think is such terms see such events as theft.

I have an IMI 1911 and it's NEVER failed to fire. It's never jammed. It's never failed to feed. I've had the weapon for nearly 20 years. Puts thousands of rounds through it. It has saved my life. Literally. Between my 1911 and my Sig Sauer, I don't know which I like more. If I could find one for sale, I'd snap up a 1911 chambered in .357 sig. I could retire my P229 then.

      Or it's old people making decisions for military acquisitions based on nostalgia or lobbying/patronage by friendly manufacturers. Let's be objective here. 1911 has a single stack mag. so we're talking 7 or 8 rounds.
      Standard double stack mags usually range from 15 to 20 on most modern handguns. Not to mention polymer handguns weigh substantially less. There are plenty of good polymer handguns but i'll use a Glock for the sake of weight comparison:
      Glock 19 (stock) w/16 rounds of 124gn (9mm) - 30.8 oz.

      Kimber Custom II w/8 rounds of 230gn (.45 acp) - 44.7 oz.
      Glock 21 (stock) w/14 rounds of 230gn (.45 acp) - 40.1 oz.
      And keep in mind that while .45 acp theoretically has more muzzle energy, studies that have surveyed hundreds of actual real-life shooting incidents show that .45 acp produces about the same rate of death and incapacitation as 9mm. So you might as well choose the one that gives you more shots per weight.

      @@bryanblack526 Right... because war boils down to two people having a one-on-one duel in a cemetery at night, huh? You should read some statistics. One of the primary determinants of victory in firefights in war is volume of fire. If magazine capacity and round count didn't matter, we wouldn't have switched from full sized rifle rounds to intermediate cartridges. And we'd all still be using guns like M1 Garands with 8 shots needed before a fucking reload. More rounds per reload + lighter ammo (or lighter magazines) = greater volume of fire per soldier.
      Oh and guess what? When NATO was trying to decide on a standardized calibre shortly after WWII, it was the conservative big wigs in the US Military that put their foot down and refused to change, insisting on 7.62 x 51 when Britain wanted to jump straight to an intermediate calibre. The result? They redesigned the Garand for full auto fire and use of a detachable magazine and tried to use it as a standard assault rifle (AKA the M14). We all know that was a fucking terrible idea. Took decades for them to get with the program and agree to 5.56 x 45, after they saw how effective 7.62 x 39 was with the AK.

    The animations and explanations of the mechanisms are amazing. One thing that was not mentioned here is that this gun fires from a locked breech, and when the barrel moves backward and pivots down, the locking lugs on the top of the barrel move down out of engagement with the corresponding grooves in the slide. Most pistols have this sort of locking mechanism, and it is the principle difference between a "blowback" and a "recoil-operated" gun.

      @nickloven6728 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@brandonzidzik yes but the video claims the tilting action only helps the cartridge feed into the barrel. While it does aid feeding, the barrel actually moves backwards with the slide in the locked position for just a few millimeters before dropping down into the frame and allowing the slide to move all the way to the rear. It does this so the gun doesn't explode, you see in a traditional blowback handgun only the weight of the slide and spring are keeping the round in the chamber, when the round is fired the pressure will try to escape through the pass of least resistance. Hopefully if you have enough weight on the slide and spring the pressure should force the round out of the barrel before the gun tries to extract the round or else the bullet case will explode without the support of the barrel, too much weight and the gun won't cycle . The problem with blowback is you need a super heavy slide and recoil spring to make the guns work properly with higher pressure handgun calibers, that makes guns overall more heavy and much harder to chamber a round manually. So instead of using just the mass of the slide to keep the cartridge chambered long enough to allow the round to fully leave the chamber and pressure in the case to drop, the 1911 for example allow the barrel and slide to move together under recoil while still having the cartridge fully locked into chamber, only until a certain amount for distance does the barrel drop down unlocking it from the slide and the round is ejected, by then the bullet has fully left the barrel. This is better than traditional blowback because now the slide and recoil spring can be alot lighter, especially for high pressure calibers like 10mm. In the video they make it seem like it's just a blowback, which it is not. Sorry if I'm bad at explaining this, I think there are videos that shows the difference alot better

    the amount of moving parts in this thing is impressive, like a VCR with all the moving parts just to load and play a movie.

      cloudywillow I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe.
      I got it in my about tab.

      Oh, were you to find an animation of a revolver's innards you'd soil yourself if this causes you problems. The only reason revolvers are considered more reliable than semiautos is the (c)lockwork is sealed in the frame and nothing operates under anything more than spring pressure.

    The design of M1911 is simply astounding and art of work. Every detailed parts make this pistol a beauty to watch in cut sectioned figure.

      Good tone on the voice, but they still don't have cadence/delivery down. Certain phrases sound believable, then others are a dead give away.

      Yeah. Recoil-as-a-verb (r'coil) when it was meant as a noun (reecoil).

      That would be the design work of John Moses Browning. Browning’s name is all over just about every facet of firearms design. He died in 1926, but every firearm designed today utilizes his principles in one way or another. The man truly was a genius.

    Thanks for a very helpful animation for new gun owners. Who should note "Rewind" displayed so they don't think the gun will do something it can't do (put round back in magazine that's been loaded in chamber)

    The 1911 is a classic. A beautiful design with a powerful 45 caliber round.
