Mark Serbu discusses the potential revival of his SU-5 firearm design, originally conceived over a decade ago. He details modifications made to the CAD model, specifically shortening the ejection port by 3/8 of an inch to prevent the bolt carrier from jumping the gap, a modification aimed at improving reliability. The video also showcases high-speed footage of the SU-5's operation, including gas expulsion during suppressed firing.
Mark Serbu demonstrates a 3D-printed fixture designed to test various magazine catch positions for blowback-operated pistols. The fixture allows for precise adjustments in both vertical and horizontal planes, enabling the user to find the optimal position for reliable feeding. By incorporating weight into the simulated bolt, the fixture helps analyze the momentum required for successful chambering, with high-speed video used to observe the feeding dynamics.
This YouTube video delves into the physics behind the "BUTT-MASTER" firearm, specifically observing its striker rebound on high-speed video. The creator shares their surprise at this phenomenon, having owned the firearm for years without noticing it. The description also touches on a "conspiracy theory" aspect regarding how the Canadian government became aware of the BUTT-MASTER, promising a simple explanation. The content appears to blend technical firearm analysis with a lighthearted exploration of a specific firearm model and its associated narrative.
This video offers a high-speed visual analysis of the M1 Carbine's action, specifically examining IBM and Rock-Ola variants. It utilizes slow-motion and high-frame-rate footage (up to 8,000 frames per second) to observe the cycling of the firearm and the behavior of unburned powder during firing. The content is aimed at enthusiasts interested in the mechanical intricacies of classic firearms.
This YouTube video provides an update on the "Pistols of the Warlords" project, highlighting its successful Kickstarter campaign and upcoming stretch goals.
