What's there not to like about this video? I guess some people click on vids just to dislike it.

I think there are a couple of errors here. First, when the gun is simply cocked by pulling on the slide (0:22), the barrel does not tilt. Second, when the gun is fired (0:35), the breech should remain locked until the barrel begins to tilt. The way it's presented it looks like a simple blowback action.

this one shows how that gasses push the slide back while bullet is still in gun. on YT there is another "glock function animation" and that shows that only recoil after ball escapes the barrel makes slide go back. i allways thought that recoil operated handguns doesnt work with gasses pushing slide back. the recoil which is blocked by shooters hand on frame must be then absorbed by slide and that makes it move back. am i right?

@kaaajeee When the powder in the cartridge burns, the gasses push on the bullet, propelling it forward, and on the slide, pushing it backward. The barrel and slide are locked together and move back a short distance, enough for the bullet to leave the barrel. As they continue to move back, the barrel unlocks from the slide and the slide continues to move back, ejecting the spent case and chambering a new round.

@kaaajeee You are very correct, it is the law of action and reaction that drives recoil operated handguns. They are not driven directly by gasses, as a blowback or gas operated firearm is. The breech is locked to a moving barrel, thus making the bolt/bolt carrier NOT a piston, so it operated purely of of the same force as that which is pushing the bullet.

[Southern661]

@patsfanczar To clarify to those who might not understand, the pressure in the barrel acting on the brass forces the slide back 1/10th of an inch, unlocking the breech after the bullet leaves the barrel, and then physics take their course in forcing the slide rearward with recoil.

"anywhere from 300-3500 fps" a .22-250 can do 4000

[BoagsOutdoorTV]

@lilham10809 Do they make a pistol in that caliber? JW

[Warforce1488]

normal !

Very good for kids !

[Mathe212]

what makes it bad for kids?

[alzlon]

i think he was trying to drop a not so subtle hint as in you should show this to the kids.
