John Browning

Description: (Firearms Designer)

John Moses Browning was an firearms designer from America. He was known for designing various small arms and automatic weapons. He is widely regarded for his commercial contributions to the Colt, Remington, and Winchester firms. He has also played a significant role in contributing to the U.S. military and Allied armed forces. He was known as the “father of modern firearms” and his designs and inventions have protected the cause of freedom across the world. His gun designs have also been used by hunters, shooters, and outdoorsmen for many decades. It all started when Browning was 13 and made his first gun at his father’s gun shop. Within a few years, he had already patented a self-cocking single-shot rifle, which he sold to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The Browning automatic rifle was used by the U.S. Army for many decades during the First and Second World Wars. In the 21st century, people still use improved variants of his designed military weapons around the world. Some of his most notable guns designs have been manufactured by Remington, Winchester, Colt, Savage, Stevens, and Fabrique Nationale de Herstal of Belgium.
