Yes, I found it and just finished watching. I noticed their animation of function is incorrect, in that they depict the next round jumping up into line with the chamber before the breechblock starts its return, rather than the block's stripping it from the top of the mag and the cartridge making the s-turn it actually takes to get into battery. Narration said that the empty is tossed out by a spring, which is also incorrect.

Otherwise entertaining and kinda fun to watch; I missed it when it aired on TV. (Now I know what Ralph Shattuck and Fred Datig looked like 10-15 years ago.) Thanks to all who provided info.
