How an AK-47 Works

A 3D animation created in Cinema 4D and After Effects showing how an AK-47 rifle works.

Corona renderer was used in order to create realistic materials and reflections.

Music is a track from Killer Tracks called "Reassemble" (KT335-8).

*Correction: The firing pin does NOT puncture the bullet primer.

It just strikes it against the anvil, initiating the firing sequence....

Com: Andrew: Always had to be able to explain how your rifle (SLR-7.62) worked to pass basic training. Wish I'd had something like this to refer to.

Com: GunGun: Man, this is absolutely beautiful, I cannot even begin to imagine how you made this and how much effort and time you put into such a clean and perfect animation.. Absolutely amazing..
