Videos tagged with Auto-5

This Q&A session covers a diverse range of topics, with a significant focus on firearms. Discussions include gun design principles, specific firearm models and their adoption (SIG P320, Valmet, Galil), historical and future machine guns (FN Mag, PKM, MG42 family), and various cartridges (.338 Magnum, 7mm Backcountry, .30 Super Carry). The creator also touches upon gun handling for new owners, military movie gun accuracy, and personal interests like camo collections. Beyond firearms, the video delves into the creator's book-writing process, filming equipment, and potential collaborations.

This video details the extreme modification of a Browning Auto-5 shotgun, including chopping the barrel and stock. Despite the rough treatment, the modified Auto-5 proved surprisingly reliable, especially with slugs, and demonstrated a manageable recoil. The project highlights the robust nature of the classic Auto-5 design and its long recoil operating system.

This video explains the long recoil operating system, where the barrel and bolt travel together for the full length of the cartridge. It details the firing cycle, rearward travel, independent barrel return for ejection, and the bolt's forward slam to chamber the next round. Classic examples like the Browning Auto-5 and Remington Model 8 are used for demonstration.

This video explores the surprising mechanical similarity between the Browning M2 machine gun and the Browning A5 shotgun: both utilize a reciprocating barrel system. The A5, a semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun, shares this long recoil operation with the M2, a .50 BMG machine gun. The distinct 'kachunk' sound and unique recoil impulse are highlighted as characteristics of this action.

This video showcases a unique method of aerial target practice using shotguns to destroy Osage oranges (crabapples). It features a collection of classic shotguns like the Winchester Model 1897 and Browning Auto-5, demonstrating their loading and firing. The content highlights the satisfying destruction of the fruit in slow motion, offering a recreational and visually engaging shooting experience.

This video provides a detailed look at the original Browning Auto-5 shotgun, showcasing its iconic long-recoil action. It demonstrates the manual loading procedure and the smooth chambering of the first round. The footage highlights the unique 'humpback' receiver profile and the mechanical ballet of the barrel and bolt during firing, emphasizing its historical significance and classic design.

This review of the Browning Auto-5 highlights its iconic status and unique long recoil action designed by John Moses Browning. While acknowledging its robust Belgian FN construction and innovative auto-cartridge pickup, the speaker finds its ergonomics and harsh recoil personally uncomfortable. The video details the gun's mechanical complexity, including friction ring tuning for different loads, and its historical significance as a classic American shotgun.

This video review showcases the Browning A5 Wicked Wing, a modern iteration of the iconic Auto-5 shotgun. The review details its historical roots, beginning with John Moses Browning's original design in 1899 and its subsequent production by FN in 1902. The modern A5 features synthetic furniture with a unique camouflage treatment, Burnt Bronze Cerakote receiver, and an updated Kinematic Drive System for smooth, reliable operation. The review highlights its 16-gauge chambering, emphasizing reduced recoil and terminal performance balance. Specific features discussed include the Invector-DS choke tubes, enlarged controls, accessible loading port, adjustable stock shims, and the barrel's back-bored design for improved patterning. The video also touches upon the scaled 16-gauge receiver for a lighter feel and the classic humpback receiver for improved target acquisition.

The original Browning Auto-5, produced for over 90 years, is compared to the modern A5. While the new model is reliable, the original's long-recoil action, historical significance, and unique craftsmanship make it a prized classic. The Auto-5 was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun, with variations like the 'Sweet Sixteen' being particularly notable.

This video details the significant business split between Winchester and firearms innovator John Browning in 1902. Winchester's president, Thomas Bennett, wrongly believed their engineers could replicate Browning's success and rejected his Auto-5 shotgun design, demanding royalties instead of a flat fee. This decision proved disastrous as the Auto-5 became a massive success for FN and Remington, while Winchester's own attempts at semi-automatic shotguns, like the Model 1911, failed due to patent issues and internal competition.

This YouTube Short showcases the iconic Browning Auto-5 semi-automatic shotgun in stunning 240 FPS slow motion. The video highlights the unique reciprocating barrel design of this historic firearm, which was the first mass-produced semi-automatic shotgun. The content aims to provide a visually engaging look at the mechanics of the Auto-5.

This custom Remington Auto-8, based on a Model 11 and inspired by the FN Police Model Auto-5, showcases significant gunsmithing by Vang Comp. It features an 8-round capacity, a 24-inch barrel with Vang Comp's proprietary treatment for tighter buckshot patterns, and a modified lifter for easier loading. The build highlights historical context, including the Remington-FN licensing and the use of similar high-capacity shotguns by figures like Charlie Askins.
