Gas Operated Rifle?

Did you know that the AR-15, M1-A, AK-47, etc are all "Gas Operated"? Many of you know exactly what this is about, but I suspect there are quite a few relatively new shooters who have not thought about what that means.
This is another video intended for newer shooters and the Basics Playlist, but there could be some fairly experienced shooters are are not all that familiar with how these guns work.
