The thing about old informative/educational videos is that they assume you know absolutely nothing. So, they always teach you from the ground up with basic terminology, and explain any bizarre vocabulary.

64 years old video still being more informative then today three-D videos, wow.

That was just beautifully explained. I'm a bit disappointed we don't have educational videos like these nowadays.

Leave it to the Army to explain things so even a 19 yr old guy can learn it.

I literally found this trying to find out why full auto Nerf guns need batteries and real full auto guns don't. Was not disappointed.

No bullshit, straight to the point, no history references, 10 minutes long and you know all you need to know.

Its amazing that this informational video is over 60 years old. I must admit I was surprised as to how simple the process is.

I have to say. This old video is much much better in explaining the mechanism than modern 3d videos. Agree?

I usually don't comment, but when I do,it means that the video is truly awesome and informative as well as useful.

i love these old educational videos. the fact that its so accurate and straightforward means that i now have a solid reference for when i start manufacturing small arms.

Found this looking for the video of how differentials work. These people had an amazing way of teaching.
@blakewooley2500 9 years ago

Very educational. It's funny how so many people use firearms, yet they don't even know how they work.

I finally understand how the mechanism works. It just took an old black and white military training video to show me. Thank you to all keepers of history and the past.
