colt .45 1911 trigger mechanism

[xFunAsianx11]

does this work for stink bugs???

[AnselmoFanZero]

Name of the song please??? :)

[SWsnowblower]

@UnKracked the 1911's trigger goes straight back, pushing back the metal rod thing which is part of the trigger...i think... then it pushes the bottom part of the little doo-dad that release the hammer and it swings forward and makes big boom(only wanted to sound like a smart ass because im really really bored)

[Greyswyndir]

@SWsnowblower,

Yes, straight back, the metal thingy (trigger bow) engages the disconnector which in turn engages the sear (the sear is the half-moon shaped part that rests on the hammer hooks). The sear is nudged forward away from the hammer hooks and the hammer drops. You can also see the sear spring, which in reality is used for the disconnect, sear, and grip-safety. The sear spring puts tension on all three parts and effects the trigger pull.

[SWsnowblower]

@Greyswyndir 0_0' intense knowledge of little parts lol

[Greyswyndir]

@SWsnowblower,

You should know what you're talking about, nothing wrong with that.

[SWsnowblower]

@Greyswyndir I know but still thats good knowledge of little parts :P

[Greyswyndir]

@SWsnowblower,

If you shoot something it's always a good idea to know how it works, then you can fix it yourself.

[SWsnowblower]

@Greyswyndir yup

[NIN1024]

And this gun is still going strong, since 1911.

[kutaskansay]

what s the name of the song playing ?

[wafflemonster8]

@kutaskansay i hate how utube CHANGED AGIAN!!! now you don't even know the song name, just the people who wrote it.......pshhhh youtube..... you've changed like 200 times!!!! a day!

[MrSKSkill]

There, I finally see the light!

[XxSgTgERMAnxX]

NOW IT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE!

[yukariniro05]

ok I get it...it will not fire because the thing that triggers the hammer is slanted so it won't cause any reactions till fully reseted.

[yukariniro05]

what will happen if I hold down the trigger even after I fired????

[GunslingerGaming]

@yukariniro05 It's not gonna reload~ I mean, like, the other bullets from the clips won't get in the firing pipe, and it'll be stuck. And when you let it go you're gonna hear a click, and it's simply gonna reload it again~

[KipJordy1]

This is nice however the way the hammer engages into the full-cock position is inaccurate. The hammer doesn't come to rest onto the sear until the slide is 3/4 of the way forward. 

[MrKingDubstep]

how does a pistol become auto or semi? like what makkes the cocking mechenism repeat itself. how does the top slide thing go backwards is what im trying to ask.

[Destructides]

@MrKingDubstep Most pistols are action operated. This means the force of the gunpowder exploding in the fired cartridge is used to propel the slide backwards (blowback system), which cocks the hammer, ejects the empty cartridge, and chambers a new cartridge when the slide goes back into its inital position.

Most rifles, as opposed to pistols, are gas operated. If you want to, I may explain this as well, or you may look it up on the internet. These comments don't allow much space.

[MrKingDubstep]

@Destructides thank you very much! thats what i thought but i thought that would be silly cuz it would mean less power on the bullet but now i see exactly what your saying. Thanks!

[MrBoXiNgLeGeNd]

@glok6 why just use an rpg?

[mclmatty]

looks pretty simple

[the1991fox]

damn i was thinking about how could tou make it fully aotumatic, and i saw some problmes with the triger.

[kangah807]

Beautiful

[TheCoollikdat]

hey nice what program is that

[supersamuririce]

interesting

[hellllllllooooooooo]

@giliganfan hey maybe ucan letme no if u find a way to make it for paper im havin a hard time...u dont have to if u dont want tho

[csidaznigga]

wow....i dont know if i'm just stupid but i dont think i would have ever thought of all that complex moving mechanisms stuff

[azorian2]

@csidaznigga =D well 1. the designers had a proper education in stuff like this 2, there was prolly more than one person on the project of designing this 3. its prolly somewhat less complicated than it looks =D

[patsfanczar]

Not to complex. see that piece that gets pushed down when the slide moves back? Look closely at the fact that it acts as a spacer for the trigger to push the sear in. When it is pushed down, it makes a gap between the trigger and sear, so the sear can reset and hold the hammer. The bottom of the sear hods it down as well, while releasing the trigger allows it to bow and bend past that face on the sear, and reset the trigger mechanism.

[csidaznigga]

@patsfanczar I don't know it's just that It looks like something I wouldn't figure out by myself, like I would never have thought this is how a gun worked. I wish I had a brain like yours though =) It took me a while to figure out how this worked.

[patsfanczar]

Thanks, and yeah, looking at it is rather complex, but by mechanical measure it is relatively simple. If you want a much more simple trigger mechanism, take a look at the ak. That rifle's trigger is one of the easiest to understand, the sear is one piece with the trigger, and the capture sear is right on the trigger to grab onto another face on the hammer.

[Altonahk]

@patsfanczar funny thing about that is the AK's trigger assembly was stolen from the m1 grand.

[patsfanczar]

The whole action of the AK is totally derived from the M1, though the bolt carrier was moved above the bolt, it still has the same sort of long stroke, rotating 2-lug bolt as the Springfield M1.

[gurkmannen37]

@Altonahk Stolen is such a strong word...

[manoftin2]

I like your video. That's cool

[whitesox155]

dang

john browning is a genius

[mesmorino]

lol don't forget Samuel Colt. He started it with revolvers!

[MrWombatPPC]

Thats good Info. Thanks for posting. All I need now is one showing how to Re-Prime dead bullets. ;-)

[evilcupcake12]

I need me one of those.

For rats and such.

[norman333]

poor rat blown to this wit that

[recurveninja]

for rats? there shall be nothing left.

[patsfanczar]

.45 for RATS? Better get the mop and broom to go with this "rat gun." LOL.

[Warunho]

Nooo... .50 gives a nicer gore explosion.. Oh I shouldnt say that, I like animals... Even vermins....

[Letsmakeasamich]

12 gauge #4 bird shot then that rat will literally disappear into a red mist, but so will your floor.

[azorian2]

@evilcupcake12 some damn big rats u have at ur place =D

[evilcupcake12]

@evilcupcake12 Sewer rats that don't go down with pussy 9 mils!

[MW2mikey5527]

@evilcupcake12 I'm making one right now.

[chankailong]

@evilcupcake12 what yo need is a rifle intervention bolt cation :)

[kawasakikillerr]

@evilcupcake12 you just need a .22 rifle for vermin

[w33nDK]

Oh cool.

[Otacon237]

Awesome design. That sharp, precise disconnect is what gives the 1911s their legendary trigger feel. It really is one of the best designs in the world

[OMGCRABBATTLE]

Awesome video

[Makhecha]

Nice

[syphin38]

phisics is best displaued in a gun

[Aydee2020]

how does exerting force to the butt of the spring help the accuracy and launch the speed of a bullet?

[jester200x]

it doesnt. this gun was invented to improve firing rate and diminish reload time. the accuracy and speed of a bullet is determined by the barrel, the bullet itself and obviously the person shooting the gun

[Aydee2020]

lol that was complicated

[Otacon237]

What do you mean by "butt of the spring"? That spring you see in the back getting hit by the hammer is what retains the firing pin.

[Aydee2020]

the knocking hammer or whatever its called

[Otacon237]

Yeah the hammer hits the firing pin, that spring is curled around the pin so after hitting the primer on the cartridge, the spring automatically pushes and resets the firing pin.

[bodmondude]

Doesn't the blow back have a bigger role in resetting the firing pin?

[Otacon237]

Nah, the blowback resets the hammer by moving the slide back. The firing pin is under constant pressure from the spring.

Not all designs have this, for example the SKS, AK and AR-15 all have what's called a free-floating firing pin that just whips around in the bolt. This is considered less safe because when closing the bolt the firing pin taps the primer of the cartridge, and sometimes if too much junk builds up in the bolt carrier the bolt can stick out and set off the cartridge.

[yomomasface]

Truly a very unique and awesome gun!

[dareta]

Like the Devil himself made this gun...

[noobkiller97]

what website or whatever is this?

[DennisH8706]

eliminate the shadowing so that you can see the sear better

[Bozkurt4eva21]

comment me back

someone want to chat ru

[4638JL]

Interesting.

[sirg31]

that's so cool...great vid...5 stars....never saw the action on a 1911 portratyed like this before.

[OspreyKnight]

Now that make sense.

[mexicoxican]

wouldn't the disconnector be caught on the bottom of the sear when the slide is all the way back? unless the trigger was released before that point, that is

[82abnoff]

I do not know about this dis. I would think if the hammer is back, you can move the slide by hitting your hip or side.

[jester200x]

nop the spring is strong enough to keep the slide from moving with such little effort. the drag you feel from pulling your slide back is the spring, not the hammer.

[damarei]

I think you're right man.

[gunbuilders]

Technically the disconnector will raise once the slide is back, the slide will then force the disconnector back down, and it will raise again in the disconnector slot... Very nice video though!!
