How an AR15 Works — Cool 3D Cutaway Animation Video
Ever wondered how the parts inside an AR15 work together? Just exactly how does the reciprocating bolt carrier feed rounds from the magazine? How do the elements in the trigger group work and reset after each shot? How does the gas system bleed gas from the barrel and operate the bolt carrier? These and other questions are answered in this eye-opening video from 45Snipers. Using “cutaway” 3D computer animation, this 5-minute video shows all features of an AR15 inside and out. This fascinating firearms animation allows the viewer to look inside the upper and lower receivers, into the bolt carrier, chamber, barrel, and magazine.
This video starts off slow and has annoying background music, but it is well worth watching if you own or shoot any AR-platform rifle. It illustrates all the key operations during the charging, loading, firing, and ejection processes. The cutaway animation shows how rounds are stripped from the magazine and then chambered. It then shows how every part of the trigger group works, and how the firing pin strikes the primer. You can even watch the bullet move down the barrel before the empty shell casing is removed from the chamber and tossed out the ejection port. Here are sample frames from the video:

It’s sad to say that the versatility of the AR platform is what peeked my interest in the firearm industry well that and watching 3-guns competition.
Then Sandy Hook happen and the great CT gun ban happened, killing my hopes of making my own. This video gave me a totally better understanding of how exactly the AR works and renewed my appreciation, unfortunately unless I move or the ban is lifted that dream is tabled. Great cutaway video.
