Want Know How a Handgun Works?

This is a GIF showing How a Handgun Works: 1911 .45. Artis Jacob O'Neal runs Animagraffs, a site where he reveals the inner workings of objects like handguns, speakers, car or jet engines with great detail. "The model 1911 handgun is named for the year it was formally adopted by the U.S. Army – and while it was replaced as an official service weapon in 1985, it’s still massively popular. Various manufacturers have created their own take on the 1911, but its basic function and operation remains in place over 100 years after its inception."
