A loaded magazine with three rounds is set aside, and a safety check is performed before the timed operation begins.

This video clarifies the function of the AK 'gas tube,' explaining that it is not critical for the rifle's operation, unlike the AR-15's gas tube. The AK's cycling mechanism relies on gas entering the gas block to push a piston. The 'gas tube' primarily aids in piston guidance and protects the gas block from debris. The speaker, from AK Operators Union, Local 47-74, emphasizes that an AK will still function without a gas tube, though its protective role is diminished.
