Nice catch. I was watching the barrel flop around like overcooked spaghetti, and the BCG rattle around like a Mexican jumping bean in the receiver.

Not in flight, but most bullets are just a little unstable a few inches to feet off the muzzle.

That phenomenon is exaggerated with long-for-caliber bullets.

Which is why 5.56 is a better HD caliber than 300BLK.

Have you ever played with a top? That's what bullets do, but the top is only 2D, and the bullet is doing it in 3D.

Has to do with the hollow pocket in the tip of the 7n6 bullet, and the weight of the base of bullet which causes the yawing
AFTER it hits it's target, if I remember correctly.

The gas tube guides the piston back into the gas block.

I don't know that I'd make that broad of a statement about it.

Bullet for bullet, I would agree (heavy MatchKings), but I think I'd rather have a suppressed 8" Blackout shooting 110gr Vmaxs than a Mk18 with 262 or Optimized.

The bullet is flopping around pretty good at :32 into the video also.

So much so that I had to go back to make sure I was seeing what I thought I saw.



It's fun watching all the parts dance and whip around as they do their work.

AKs are not exactly a elegant design, but they get the job done.

Correct.

Off topic:
There was a time when I owned around 16 or 17 AKS-74s of various makes, prototypes and custom builds.
After the surplus dried up and the novelty factor wore off, I own I think, just two now.

Notice the bolt carrier slamming into the back of the receiver.

That's a bad thing, in case you were wondering.  One of the reasons why AK's shoot themselves into inoperability over time rather quickly.

All the work is finished close to the gas block on AKs. The tube is just a guide for the proper alignment of the piston. A proper comparison would be the removal of the piston rod itself.

Shooting is applied physics. To a certain and variable extent, all bullets demonstrate that characteristic.

They removed the gas tube to show what was going on. It guides the piston back into the gas block normally.

Surprised it functioned at all without it. But that's the black magic of the Kalishnikov I guess.

There are plenty of AKs in Afghanistan and Pakistan that have been used for several decades, with shot out barrels, but still working.

Did he say that you can never find ANY working AKs ever? No, just that the flex and repeated impacts can cause premature wear. Look up reductio ad absurdum.
