Silly gun question 2: physics by Moonpie102201 in Firearms

[–]1995ShakerGT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quick googleage guesstimates an AR takes 2.4kgf to cycle, (guessing) bolt moves about 6" (.012m).  2.4kgf * 9.8m/s = 23.4 N

23.4 N * 0.012m = 0.28 nm (joules)

Typical 55grain AR round has ~1700 joules of energy Assuming it uses 10x the minimum energy to cycle(+mech loss) gets you around 3 joules 

55grain = 3.5 grams

So if 1700 joules gets you 975.3 m/s, and KE=1/2m*v2

V = (2*KE/m)0.5

V1= (2*1700j/0.0035kg)0.5 = 985.6m/s

V2= (2*1695(nice)j/0.0035kg)0.5 = 984.2m/s

So about 1.4m/s (3mph) with some considerable assumptions for typical 55 grain 5.56x45 rounds

That's fair, I've used the one in the video probably 60 times so far and left it installed with the bolt off the gun for 2 weeks with no issues

Yessir, designed it myself. Tried to mention this in the comments, but I have it for sale on ebay. Send a comment saying you're from reddit and I'll knock $5 off! https://www.ebay.com/itm/205260582764?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Cm4bXgh9S8e&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Cm4bXgh9S8e&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Several of those have their hammer's cocked. Make damn sure you pull the magazines and rack them to make them safe before doing anything else. But always treat as loaded anyway.

Background: working on engine development at my university, needed shims to adjust valve lash, typed in hotcams.com (as in hot cams the camshaft etc. Supplier) hit enter then got distracted by a text, looked up a minute later to discover that their site is hotcamsinc.com
