This guide explains the long recoil operating system, as demonstrated by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. It details the sequence of a locked barrel and bolt recoiling together, the barrel returning forward to extract, and the bolt then releasing to chamber a new round. The explanation highlights the system's advantages in safety due to delayed unlocking and disadvantages like mechanical complexity and potential for weaker ejection.

This video documents the initial test firing of the AK-50 prototype, developed over three years. The primary focus is on the structural integrity of the firearm under the stress of a .50 BMG round. Key observations include the lack of bolt deformation and successful case extraction, indicating a promising foundation for further development, including the integration of a gas system for cycling.

This guide details the proper technique for loading and firing the Luger P08, emphasizing the unique toggle-lock action. It covers manual chambering, sight alignment, trigger control, and understanding the cycling process. The demonstration highlights the pistol's reliability and the shooter's proficiency.

This video provides a detailed look at the Remington Model 8, a long recoil hunting rifle designed by John Browning and introduced in 1906. It explains the unique cycling mechanism of this rifle, highlighting how the bolt and barrel lock together and recoil as a unit before unlocking. The demonstration, enhanced by slow-motion footage, illustrates the ejection of spent casings and the chambering of new rounds, showcasing a less common but fascinating firearm action.
