The Many Miracles of John Moses Browning - The Greatest Firearm Designer of All Time

Of all the firearm designers throughout history, John Moses Browning is undoubtedly the king of them all. Responsible for the creation of some 120 firearms and ammunition - including the Colt M1911, Winchester Model 1894, the Trench Gun, M1918 BAR, Browning Hi-Power, and Ma Deuce - Browning revolutionized the firearm market multiple times over his illustrious career. From inventing the pistol slide and the first successful gas operated firearm, to dominating the lever and pump action markets for decades, and even modernizing the US Military’s handguns and machine guns; there is hardly a single facet of the firearm market that Browning didn’t radically alter. Here, we will explore the career of John Moses Browning: what guns he made, how they changed the course of firearm history, and why he has become so revered.

I consider him a very clever salesman of firearms after they were made, but entirely unqualified to discuss the question of what would be good or what would be bad for an automatic gun,” “I never explained that I had done any work on the gun, fearing that it would lead to a discussion of details, and at that time I was not desirous of discussing details with anyone in relation to the automatic shotgun… such a conversation with Mr. Tauscher would’ve been without interest to either of us as Mr. Tauscher only claims to be a salesman” “In fact, Mr. Luger has not made many inventions, to my knowledge; the changes which he has made in the Borchardt pistol is [sic] all that I know of Mr. Luger ever having done in the way of inventions and firearms.” Sources: Gorenstein, Nathan, and Michael David Axtell.
