I'm russian
I've disassembled an AK many times at school, but had no complete understanding of its mechanics. Dozens of youtube videos weren't helping either, untill i came across this very one.
It's simply beautiful. Everything is so clear now, even the smallest details and nuances.
Huge thanks to the author

"The safety lever, is used to make the firearm safe"

Ah yes, the floor here is made out of floor

Kalashnikov was a genius 100% reliable almost brilliant animation video.

Classic Russian Engineering - simple, robust, effective.

This is the first video that actually gets me through the mechanism within 10 min. Awesome job in animation as well as integrating all the information!

[hallilax]

The fact that this whole process can happen up to 600 times a minute is astonishing. Maybe I just can’t imagine it because of how slow the animation is but wow.

Honestly I never thought I'd be that interested about the inner workings of a gun but this surprisingly informative, eloquent, and summarized to the point where people such as myself will give it a shot because it's not half an hour. Bravo good sir, hats off to you!

all I can think about is how good this graphic design team is. just wow. these guys are awesome!!! the models the textors the lighting is perfect. and this is why I just subbed not because of any other reason.

Good lord. What did I just learn.

Cough*.... Heading to the garage with tools

The AK-47 is the straight sword of its time. Simple, convenient and to the point.

Youtube: see how simple it is!
me: my two poor brain cells in shutdown mode.

[eddiaz]

That's a good video that shows newbies about guns in ten minutes that's awesome

[bigmandingo]

As dangerous and deadly these things are you cannot take away the fact that this is genius technology and how it’s done

[williambotha]

I used my AKM for 30 months - every single day on the range and plenty times in combat. It never had a stoppage for any reason whatsoever ... even when I'd slept on it in the mud or thrown it in the back of the vehicle among the 'spoils of war.' It takes genius to produce a tool so simple, yet so effective and reliable. A fellow warrior preferred an FN-FAL that he'd lovingly care for at every halt, every opportunity ... yet he still threw it into the bush after it had failed him a number of times in a very busy day, screaming "find me a 'kin AK!"

After watching this video, I am now what people call a “gun expert”.

[Sigsauer]

Year 2018..a lot of modern weapons.
Videos explain the ak 47... a legend

You should have said "80-100 million produced" or something because at 0:24 it makes it sound like the firearm itself has 80-100 million pieces. Its just a bit confusing still a great video!

As a 3D artist and AK aficionado, a very well put together animation!
