Interesting video. Barrel whip.

[BBQJOE]

Excuse me if this has been posted before.
I've never seen such a thing as barrel whip before.
I'm going to assume that the bullet has left the barrel by the time the wobble starts.
I'm also going to assume if this guy wasn't wearing glasses, he'd have a black eye.

Cool vid....................

I just noticed, it appears the scope whips too.

Barrel whip aside, that glass would be in the trash can if it was mine. I won't shoot with glass that doesn't have eye relief. But that is some cool video work.

Those scopes do have eye relief. That one has the rubber eye cup like every single night vision optic I've ever seen or used. Why does a standard optic need a NV dye cup? I can't answer that one, but that's what's going on with the scope in the video. Having shot with those scopes, with glasses, I can say firsthand I had plenty of eye relief and no black eyes (or broken glasses).

Nice video. Those PSLs are garbage.

Nice video. Those PSLs are garbage.

what makes you think any other gun besides that one doesn't whip like that. every barrel except 22 whips. the Russians put the scope mount on the most solid part of the gun. all the mounts on the gas clylinder and any place but the side of the receiver are a waste of money

There was a video on here a few months ago about AR15 barrel whip and harmonics. It was pretty impressive actually.

It`s NOT barrel whip from the bullet leaving the barrel, it`s the escaping gasses!.................

Its actually barrel harmonics. What happens after the bullet exits doesn't matter as long as its motion has died out before the next shot.

All AK style guns flex a lot when fired, there are better X-ray slow motion videos out there and after watching them its hard to believe the AK is as accurate as it is, and also help explain why they rarely shoot good groups off sandbags.

In addition to the rubber eye cup, the recoil on the psl isn't very bad at all. The eye cup took a few magazines of ammo to get used to for me but there is plenty of eye relief to allow a shooter to not get hit in the head.
I had one and I regret getting rid of it. One day I'll get another one.

That video finally explains why people do super high scope set-ups with absolutely no cheek weld....Right eye dominant lefty...i'm guessing a sore neck too.

It's alleged that Soviet/Russian military optics all use eyecups as a means to avoid fogging eyepieces with breath exhalation in cold weather. Interesting approach to the problem.

I had to look twice. He's using his left eye to look through the scope. You can tell by the eye cup being on the left side of his nose.

There is some movement, even before the bullet leaves the barrel. That's why they make things like this:

The movement itself is not really a problem - just so long as it's the same, shot after shot.

Want to see something real fun, change the end of the barrel, either device on a threaded barrel or thread the barrel and add a device.. and watch the wobble change...

Somewhere before (been trying to find it for a while now) they showed a bolt action being fired in super slow motion from a top down view. That action squirmed in the stock something fierce.

I have a friend who has an AR with some kind of a forked flash hider and after every shot the flash hider rings like a tuning fork.

Those PSLs are garbage.

Garbage? Um, no. They're not bench rifles, but combat rifles. They serve their purpose very well..... In the same ideology, I can call a High end bench rifle 'garbage' because it only has a 5 shot mag and is lousy at rapid firing. different guns serve different purposes.

 

[1KPerDay]

Yeah, M1A match rifles are garbage, too

AR-15s, too

5 shots.. thats not a bench rifle.. thats an expensive hunting rig. Bench rifles only hold 1 round ..

good video!
