Thank you for posting this, I have never seen it slowed down in such a manner. What a beautifully designed machine. Shooting my own garand,I never realized it bounced off of the rear sight base at all or the Op rod Handle. You would think it would leave a mark of some kind after shooting hundreds of rounds but mine has no such marks. Truly a genius piece of engineering

Very neat clips, I like watching them run. Best tech of the 1930's.

Hey all.

I was looking through my old threads looking for something else -- ran across this thread.

This one was really popular when I shared it the first time. Thought I'd bump it up again in case anyone new missed it.

I saw someone else's years ago, but not this frame rate. I also recorded my own about 30FPS.

My garands seem to send the brass about 1-2 o'clock position. I do notice the brass usually has a dent in the throat. I think that is what is hitting the op rod to cause it to go forward.

this looked so fun, I started googling for high-speed cameras.

Looks like $1-4k to get the 1200fps in the video with consumer-grade, but most of the products are unavailable, or prototypes. I won't be buying anytime soon. Would rather buy more rifles.

You just need to make friends with a video professional and get him to shoot it for you. They are everywhere and most are fascinated with interesting opportunities to expand their skills with their expensive gear. Start with wedding photographers electronic news cameramen.
