This is incredible! The amount of time and effort boggles the mind; not to mention the superb quality of the machine work in making each one of these parts and pieces. Simply, it's the single best demonstration of the basics of firearm principles and operations that I have ever seen... and I've been actively studying guns since shortly after I learned what they were. Anywho, enough rambling. I'm just so pleased that I found this video, and equally grateful to you for posting it; thus preserving it for future generations. Thank you, and please take care.

I love these old instructional videos. they simplify very technical devices and procedures. And the workmanship is great

This is what I’ve been looking for a basic over view of the internals of a rifle

And the best firearms mechanical video in KZfaq goes to.........

Absolutely beautiful, just everything, from this demonstration to the fact humans designed and made small arms

I love how they make it so simple a 8 year old could understand it

This is so relaxing and calming 💤

A nice simple explanation of how the steps work. I remember that voice from old school videos on a variety of subjects

This guy teaches better than my teacher xD

Unbelievable beautifully made

0:21 Hi there, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such Army Educational Reels as ''The Dos and Don'ts of prostitution etiquette'' and ''Hände Hoch! Basic German for the invading soldier'' So, GI Joe, you've been shipped off to *CENSORED* and nobody told you how your gun works? Well don't worry because we have some oversized cardboard models that will dispel all the "magic" of you superior American Weapons. Now lets ask some scienticians "what the heck is a gun?"

Great instructional video for its time

These old videos had the best instruction models! I mean, if this gun model wasn't cool enough, look at this giant demonstration mechanical watch: /watch?v=cZwq1KL4SD0 ! I think they were made by the same company. Even the (awesome sounding) narrators sound similar. Ah, in the words of a stereotypical old person "they don't make 'em like they used to."

What a great explanation

The guy loading the Garand is gonna get M1 thumb loading it that way. It's better to keep the heel of your right hand against the bolt handle while simultaneously pushing the clip into the rifle with your right thumb, ensuring that the bolt will not slam closed until after you move your hand away with your thumb out of the action.

Marlin Brando, Gregory Peck, Angie Dickinson, Omar Sharif were all magnificent in this movie!

Beautiful explanation!!!

Muy bueno me gustaria aver estados en esa.época de los pioneros de los inventó de estas armas que hoy me fascinan como jovi

Great explanation

Thanks a lot bro!

Watch this at 1.5 speed. It flows much better.

感謝樓主，100個贊，太牛逼了。

I want those model gun pieces. O.O

Amazing stuff!

This would be such a cool toy for little boys.

then comes caseless ammunition and says "fuck you cycle of operation"

It seems so... simple.

ok time to build my own ak 47

Now 2022....👍👍👍💪💪😀11 years old...

I keep trying to explain it to my friends

War, war, war!

Got two pistols, an AR57 and some Walmart ammo after Sandy Hook since Boxer and Feinstein sounded like they wanted to step on our 2nd Amend rights. These heaters bore me since my tail was never on a range or chasing a deer but hunched over a library table.

Just goes to show how lazy things are nowadays. They never show anything like this anymore.
