This is what the inside of a gun looks like when it's being fired
For all but the most familiar firearm users and operators, the inner workings of a gun remain a mystery.
Everyone knows that firearms have a trigger, which when pulled fires a bullet. But between the pulling of the trigger and the bullet leaving the weapon, how does a gun function?
The YouTube channel C&Rsenal has an ingenious way of explaining how various guns function - with the use of X-ray animations showing what happens as a user pulls the trigger.
