As someone who’s built a Glock from scratch, every single thing in this video is correct. Matt you did an excellent job at making every single component of the pistol exactly as it looks in the actual firearm, as if you actually had a completely transparent Glock to model off of
Wow thanks so much for the nice comment 😃. I think I did miss a few minor things, for example calling it the “bullet primer” haha. But I hadn’t had a lot of experience with firearms at the time. Thanks again though, I had a lot of fun making this animation :)
I'm glad that the video creator can rest easy knowing that someone who put together a couple parts kits and drilled 3 holes in a plastic frame said their video was accurate.
If that ever happens to me, I'll just say, "But aren't you forgetting something? The Glock contains three safeties. The first is the Trigger Safety. The trigger cannot be pulled back unless the safety is engaged, allowing it to move past the frame. The second is the Firing Pin Safety. The firing pin cannot move past the safety unless the trigger bar has pushed it up, allowing the firing pin to move past this safety. The final is the Drop Safety. The trigger bar is held in place by the housing. The firing pin cannot move forward unless the trigger bar has moved back and cleared the ramp of this housing."
A buddy of mine was on the fence about carrying a Glock with one in the chamber. I couldn’t really explain it so I came across this video & showed him. He now carry’s with confidence with one in the pipe. Everyone that’s new to, or is carrying especially a striker fired pistol should watch this video. Excellent 👍

The Glock 17 is striker fired, the firing pin (or in this case, the striker) itself is released to hit the primer and uses a spring to do so.

@@AndrewVasirov It had less to do with less training, and more to do with how cheap it was to equip armies since they decided to give up armour that could actually stop bullets. Human lives were far cheaper, after all.
LordVader1094 "You can train someone to use a pistol or a rifle competently in a few hours, and as a moderate shooter you can engage a potentially superior shooter and defend yourself due to the lethality of your weapon. It takes years to learn how to fight with a sword properly, and fighting a swordsman with sufficiently superior skills in a melee is generally suicidal." This is what I got from quora. And it's true.
It definitely is a better way to throw a rock. Most importantly, it's going to do a better job of providing protection against someone that deserves it such as someone breaking and entering your home or attempting to harm you with a weapon of their own.
I don’t know what’s more impressive, the intuitive design of a Glock, or how this guy made this video with so many transparent parts so that we could see each piece at work. Round of applause all around.
Look up taofledermaus here on youtube. Most of the videos are about testing different kinds of ammunition for shotguns and other guns. I love the ones where they test homemade bullets of unique design.
Hats off to the animator! Brilliantly done. I did this kind of “explanatory animation” for History Channel’s “Modern Marvels” series (from ~2000-2010) and this is absolutely top tier stuff. Congrats! And thanks for the awesome breakdown. 👏🏼
Legit props Matt! Over 500hrs to create this peerless functioning demonstration definitely shows. Masterpiece of engineering and 3D animation. Thank you.
Glock is the most hopeless shit I've ever seen. Think about what will happen if dirt gets inside in combat conditions? Mud will not allow you to lower the barrel to reload and you will not be able to raise the barrel if there is earth or sand above the barrel. The trigger will not be able to lower the foot to lower the striker on the spring if a small pebble falls under the foot. This gun is for "Airsoft", only for sports shooting and sterile combat in space. Rare shit, absolutely not suitable for war.
It's not like they hand these things out on every corner or the streets are paved with them. I'm American and I don't have one. But...maybe. I'm glad at least I have that choice here.
@@asktheetruscans9857 In many countries other then the US you can get firearms legally. But you usually don't just buy them at Walmart like your toilet paper.
@@asktheetruscans9857 tbf i like that they have the freedom to buy their own weapon so easily.but what i don't get is their reluctance to ensure that the weapon is owned by a mentally sound adult individual through a proper system.why a school student will need a lethal weapon is beyond my reasoning.thats simply my opinion.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to notice glocks don't have hammers to pull back like many other guns. I'm a 1911 fan, and when watching another video I realized "Wait, it doesn't have a hammer, is it inside the slide frame?" So I came to this video and was astonished at the alternative way to fire a bullet. Great animation!
The quality of this video is outstanding, just look at 0:12, when that little part is cut to make everything visible, voice acting, nothing to say bro, professionalism at its finest.
@ there’s a metal piece below the barrel (I should have done a cutaway here as well), that the barrel rides along, causing it to tilt downward. It essentially allows the barrel to lock/unlock from the slide.
I've had my Glock 17 Gen 5 for several years and I love it. A LOT of rounds through it without a single jam or misfire. What I REALLY like about this firearm is how easy it is to disassemble, clean and reassemble.

Not necessarily, the two are correlated but few parts doesn't prevent issues, only gives less opportunities for a failure that affect the function of the whole (ie fewer dependancies). You could have a simple design that easily jams or in which a component is too weak for repeated stess cycles or hotter loads or too stiff or sticky and won't cycle with weaker loads. And if a single part serves multiple functions its the number of functions not the number of parts that contributes to increasing the number of dependancies.
@@alexanderx33 lol... yes theoretically you can design something simple and poorly.. thanks We are talking about glocks, not some bullshit Brazilian striker fired junk or a Turkish unlicensed clone
Not many are a fan of guns until you shoot two of the same type of weapon and if you love the engineering aspect you are already a gun lover you just don't know it yet :) The differences in between firearms is all engineering I own almost 30 firearms now because they are all so unique and the science behind them are amazing. I am not saying run out and buy one but go to a range that rents them and you will buy one afterwards lol. Unless they rent you a full auto and then you will go home mad when you find out you actually have to be a millionaire to own one and don't mind waiting a year or more to even think about actually getting it. That is a whole other topic tho lol Go try one and even if you don't turn into a fan it will make you appreciate the engineering behind it even more.
An excellent example of how the Glock 19 works! I enjoy the M1911, but, over the years I have become a fan of the Glock 19. These are a great example of engineering excellence. Thank you for creating this amazing video! 👍🏻🇺🇸
So beautiful. As a machine designer, this is truly a masterpiece. Every feature is meticulously selected for to achieve a defined purpose. The precision required to make the parts work in unison is astonishing. I can picture the countless hours the designers must have spent pondering over something as seemingly trivial as the shape of extractor or the diameter of the spring. Thank you for the detailed animation.
HAAA! Wow, I’m so glad to know there are other people like me who appreciate how extraordinary such machinery is... I have a degree in design technology, so I’ve actually done the CAD drafting of stuff with extremely close tolerances, and to this day it blows me away- I’m in awe of the designers, manufacturers, and inventors of all this stuff. Whenever I walk into the copy room at work, I feel like I’m in a temple! 😎
It's not common for presentations with this many views to be as factual, detailed, and precise as this one. I'm extremely impressed by this creator's knowledge of Glock pistols and his ability to communicate their operation to someone like an unexperienced journalist who might not understand guns at all. It's extremely important to know how reliable and safe the action of this pistol is, and why it is copied by so many companies. It is one of the most popular handguns for civilians, military, and law enforcement for good reason. Glocks are affordable, reliable, light, safe, durable, have an enormous aftermarket availability of spare parts & accessories, an extremely good reputation, the ability to change calibers, and good magazines. It is absolute NONSENSE that countries want to ban them, while having absolutely no respect for their quality, design, and the human right to own something as simple as handguns for self defense.
@@JamesMathison triggers without the trigger safety can be accidentally discharged from a "side glance" from your finger or an object hitting the trigger. You have to have a continuous steady intentional pull to discharge the trigger safety on a Glock. Make sense?
Silver Grizzly , sure. Whenever I’ve shot (not that often, I’m a Brit :-/ ) the trigger has needed plenty of pressure, so I didn’t think a side glance would be enough of a danger to warrant a whole design around it. But if it is, then fair enough.
@@JamesMathison I'd be willing to argue this is a good reason to have a trigger safety. th-cam.com/video/747_rz-qE4w/w-d-xo.html Guy shot himself in the leg unholstering his pistol for a "quick draw".

It's just a better way of throwing a rock.
And you need less training. (This is why armies became bigger after the muskets and other firearms became commonplace)
@@AndrewVasirov It had less to do with less training, and more to do with how cheap it was to equip armies since they decided to give up armour that could actually stop bullets.
Human lives were far cheaper, after all.
LordVader1094
"You can train someone to use a pistol or a rifle competently in a few hours, and as a moderate shooter you can engage a potentially superior shooter and defend yourself due to the lethality of your weapon. It takes years to learn how to fight with a sword properly, and fighting a swordsman with sufficiently superior skills in a melee is generally suicidal."
This is what I got from quora. And it's true.
Nope....... throwing LED 😂😭😭
It definitely is a better way to throw a rock. Most importantly, it's going to do a better job of providing protection against someone that deserves it such as someone breaking and entering your home or attempting to harm you with a weapon of their own.

Glock is the most hopeless shit I've ever seen.
Think about what will happen if dirt gets inside in combat conditions? Mud will not allow you to lower the barrel to reload and you will not be able to raise the barrel if there is earth or sand above the barrel. The trigger will not be able to lower the foot to lower the striker on the spring if a small pebble falls under the foot. This gun is for "Airsoft", only for sports shooting and sterile combat in space. Rare shit, absolutely not suitable for war.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to notice glocks don't have hammers to pull back like many other guns.

@ there’s a metal piece below the barrel (I should have done a cutaway here as well), that the barrel rides along, causing it to tilt downward. It essentially allows the barrel to lock/unlock from the slide.

super sir 👍
The simplicity is what makes it such a reliable design
this is a message for you th-cam.com/video/JwncAQurlqk/w-d-xo.html
just like the AK.
Not necessarily, the two are correlated but few parts doesn't prevent issues, only gives less opportunities for a failure that affect the function of the whole (ie fewer dependancies). You could have a simple design that easily jams or in which a component is too weak for repeated stess cycles or hotter loads or too stiff or sticky and won't cycle with weaker loads. And if a single part serves multiple functions its the number of functions not the number of parts that contributes to increasing the number of dependancies.
@@alexanderx33 lol... yes theoretically you can design something simple and poorly.. thanks
We are talking about glocks, not some bullshit Brazilian striker fired junk or a Turkish unlicensed clone
Actually, with this many safety locks, it's not that of a simple design. Yet a very clever one.
Very interesting. Not a big fan of guns but love the engineering aspect..
Have you ever gone shooting before?
Not many are a fan of guns until you shoot two of the same type of weapon and if you love the engineering aspect you are already a gun lover you just don't know it yet :) The differences in between firearms is all engineering I own almost 30 firearms now because they are all so unique and the science behind them are amazing. I am not saying run out and buy one but go to a range that rents them and you will buy one afterwards lol. Unless they rent you a full auto and then you will go home mad when you find out you actually have to be a millionaire to own one and don't mind waiting a year or more to even think about actually getting it. That is a whole other topic tho lol Go try one and even if you don't turn into a fan it will make you appreciate the engineering behind it even more.

@@markgearing Yes and after having dealt with him directly, he’s a super nice guy. Can’t say enough good things about Andy Taylor.
Yeah, I agree. He would do real well in radio.
It's not common for presentations with this many views to be as factual, detailed, and precise as this one. I'm extremely impressed by this creator's knowledge of Glock pistols and his ability to communicate their operation to someone like an unexperienced journalist who might not understand guns at all. It's extremely important to know how reliable and safe the action of this pistol is, and why it is copied by so many companies. It is one of the most popular handguns for civilians, military, and law enforcement for good reason.
Glocks are affordable, reliable, light, safe, durable, have an enormous aftermarket availability of spare parts & accessories, an extremely good reputation, the ability to change calibers, and good magazines. It is absolute NONSENSE that countries want to ban them, while having absolutely no respect for their quality, design, and the human right to own something as simple as handguns for self defense.
Thank you so much for the kind words sir. It is very much appreciated :)
I always come to TH-cam for a specific purpose and end up on totally unrelated recommendations
I admit I hate the trigger safety design...till I watched this! thanks great vid
Still seems odd to have a safety on the trigger. Is it just to stop it from going off if it’s dropped on the ground?
@@JamesMathison triggers without the trigger safety can be accidentally discharged from a "side glance" from your finger or an object hitting the trigger. You have to have a continuous steady intentional pull to discharge the trigger safety on a Glock. Make sense?
Silver Grizzly , sure. Whenever I’ve shot (not that often, I’m a Brit :-/ ) the trigger has needed plenty of pressure, so I didn’t think a side glance would be enough of a danger to warrant a whole design around it. But if it is, then fair enough.
@@JamesMathison I'd be willing to argue this is a good reason to have a trigger safety. th-cam.com/video/747_rz-qE4w/w-d-xo.html
