Slow Mo AK

its to show how the mechanism works

it's the spring from the magazine.

what makes the top piece move backwards?

of the gas from the explosion is used to move a rod (the top piece)backwards, that "C**ks " the bolt... This gas also pushes the burnt shell out, not the spring in the mag... The mag spring pushes a new bullet once the burnt shell has ejected... Might not be entirely right, tho

When you fire a gas operated rifle. The smokeless gunpowder ignites and burns, it doesn't explode, only black powder explodes. The gas pushes the bullet down the barrel and about 3 of the way down there is a port that leads up to another chamber with a piston inside or a bolt carrier key, depending on the type of rifle. And just like in a car the expanding gas pushes the piston back which is attach to the bolt. The bolt has a claw, called an extractor, that holds on to the groove on the butt of the shell. When the bolt moves back, it also pulls the expended shell out of the chamber until the shell hits the extractor, which kicks the shell out to the right.

is definitely not the best gun out there. It is one of the best for durability, but as for accuracy it is one of the worst. Also depends on the shooter...

you couldent be more wrong... the Ak-47 is hailed as the 2nd most accurate mass produced assault rifle available to armies today... 2nd only to the M4 but there is a give a penny take a penny concept here... the M4 IS more accurate but carries an extremely weak round... (tests and combat proove) the M4 is accurate out to about 600-700 yards... but only has about a 25% chance of making a first shoot kill, while the Ak-47 is accurate only to about 540 yards but has an 89% chance of scoring a first hit kill... yes M4 is more accurate, but Ak-47 is more powerful
