Inside the AK-74 with Larry Vickers

I can't seem to get the video embedded, but this is pretty cool:

Wow, very cool video.
Thanks for sharing

Sounds like Pink Floyd's "Money" music to my ears.

Just watching him shoot that thing without the tube made me cringe. I can imagine the blowback from that with the rest of the tube.

 

[4thMiss]

Oh Wow, that was awesome, thanks,

Did anyone else notice the bullets already wobbling after leaving the muzzle?

Because the bullet hasn't stabilized yet. Completely normal, just not something you get to see in awesome high speed video often.

How can a bullet stabilize downrange? Ive never seen a poorly thrown football pass become a perfect spiral. A bullet will not magically become a perfect spiral if it doesnt start out that way.

It's not a football, it's a bullet. And it's not magic, it's physics.

If you watch a s lo - mo video of a spiraling football, it wobbles a bit, and straightens in flight. Watch your toilet the next time you flush. Shits all over the place, then **** gets in line.

Sorry, but a video that shows this going on


isnt proving how a projectile that starts out wobbling will stop wobbling and become more accurate after leaving the barrel. Everything to do with precision is happening inside the chamber and barrel. If the bullet starts out F**ked up, itll remain that way. I dont believe for 1 second that a bullet will leave the barrel spiraling, then start wobbling, then go back to spiraling and get MORE accurate. Bullets are linear. They only have external forces that apply to them. These are gravity, humidity and weather, temperature, Etc.. They do have the spin drift like when a Spiraling top (Kids Toy) is spiraling, and it begins to drift in the direction of the spin. But a top will also never correct itself once it starts to wobble.

Just watched it in 1080 at 1/4 speed. It appears to me, it's the sound wave or air around the bullets that's wobbling and not the bullet itself. Hard to see at the normal Slo mo speed.

Also, bullets dont have stabilizing fins. Nor do they produce lift.

Try explaining that to most hunters who swear their bullet "rises".

I was surprised that the piston seated in the gas block without the gas tube to guide it.
