Very cool, just used that to explain autoloading to my son. Worked very well with the top cover removed!

neat link. thanks, you know how it works but it is cool to see the inner workings and what is really going on. good learning tool like was said above.

Ah, one of my favorite slo-mo videos. I have used that video in the past to support my argument that AKs don't need a recoil buffer. If you notice the bolt carrier makes contact with the rear trunnion less than half of the time, when it does it still doesn't look too abusive. With a fresh recoil spring the action is buffered plenty. My theory is that a buffer could actually accelerate wear on the locking lugs and recesses due to being sent home with more speed than a recoil spring alone. It may not hold water and may never be tested but thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

Sorry to get on a tangent and derail the thread, just one of those things.
