My dad thinks the Mg42 and Mg34 shoot really fast because the firing pins are connected to a wheel and teh wheel slins around, constantly slamming bullets. Well i got a story for him...
Well made video to show the fonction. Despite, I fully appreciate your video, what I totally miss, is a video of a MG 34 an more MG 42 filmed with a heat camera, to show what the material has to go trough / has to absorb, and wat the shooter has to respect, even in hard combat, to keep his gun functional!
It's recoil operated, the barrel moves with the bolt for a little bit and then stops while the bolt continues, it's a way to keep the bolt from slamming back too fast. Semi-auto and full-auto firearms that fire high powered rifle rounds always use a system that helps control the speed of the bolt, those systems include gas operation, recoil operation and roller delayed blowback operation. Technically every semi-auto or full-auto firearm could be blow back but the bolt and slide has to be heavy to keep the bolt from slamming back too hard, for a 8mm Mauser round the bolt would have to be extremely heavy so they came up with recoil operation and gas operation systems to absorb and utilize some of that energy and prevent a smaller bolt from slamming back too hard and at the same time not take energy or speed away from the bullet.
@@americangangster1911 one more question. can we say that this system and roller delayed blowback operation have a similar point? i mean both two systems retard the bolt from moving till the gas pressure gets a safe level?

Lol, is he thinking of a Gatling gun?

Con su mecanismo de cerrojo abierto no pierde nada de gas por eso es muy potente,
Fantastic video!
Great video!
Good video！I need it
Glad it was helpful
