Easy Peasy: John Browning, the single-most influential firearms designer of all time John Pedersen, who Browning himself considered the greatest talent alive other than himself Hiram Maxim, who changed the face of warfare single-handedly Mikhail Kalashnikov, who changed the face of warfare again decades later Eugene Stoner, who perfected the concepts of the assault rifle and created the first and only successful purely modular weapon system Honorable mention goes to literally every Czech arms designer of the last century.

On Browning in particular, Browning's true genius lies not with his ability to design weapons, but to understand how to get them from pen and paper to full-scale production. He was intimately involved in the development of each and every one of his designs, and understood the obstacles of arms production. He not only designed effective arms, but economical arms.

sman7290 Since when? John Browning was making fully functional prototypes in his own shop when Oliver Winchester sent his men out to talk to him, leaving with the rights to manufacture the 1886 Winchester. Just because Browning didn't personally build the machine tools that Oliver Winchester used to mass produce his designs hardly makes him a mere on paper designer. The man was *the* firearms genius of all time, the like of which we will never see again.

Exactly, at the Browning museum we always try to stress that it was the speed and ease with which he thought up, designed and prototyped his designs which allowed such greatness. By sheer volume of production he didn't revolutionize firearms, he evolved them through trial and error. It's unfortunate that he destroyed a lot of his interim prototypes for scrap.

@russetwolf13

5 жыл бұрын

@sman7290 I have to strongly disagree with you on that. Aside from all the hand built prototypes at the museum in Ogden we specifically know Browning actually struggled with, and often avoided drafting his designs. JMB usually designed by going straight to steel, only occasionally doing rough drawings or wooden mock ups. It's important to remember that initially Browning had no idea how patents worked and had to mail off a letter asking how it was done. Usually Browning sent a finished prototype to the company he planned to sell to and let them work up the patent based on the prototype. At the museum we literally have prototype guns he personally carried to the offices of arms companies. It actually went further than even that, besides making the guns in a short time he also tested them extensively. Nearly every gun he demonstrated was not only built and working, but working reliably without caveat and often streamlined for production already. People could learn a lot from the way John Mose presented his prototypes.

Hey! I am from New Jersey, so I understand you pain of firearms being shunned in public conversations. I started my path just as you said, by learning. No one in my family hunts or shoots, so I enrolled in NRA basic marksmanship courses, shot on competition teams, and watched A LOT of KZread. (Check out a video I made with IV8888 last summer on How to Get into the Youth Shooting Sports.) Being as involved as possible with the shooting community helped teach me things not brought up in classes. Also, I would suggest reading Don Carlucci's book "Ballistics". It is a classic read in the firearm community. You absolutely could acquire an apprenticeship! Networking is huge part of success (who you know, not necessarily what you know). Try to find an avenue to become an apprentice and go for it. You might get lucky! You do not have to go to college to be a gunsmith. However, I would highly recommend going to a tech/trade school to learn modern machining methods (lathes, mills, CNC equivalents). These are vital skills for the trade and an employer will look for them when hiring you. If you have any more questions, feel free to DM on my Instagram @littleremington Best of luck! -Remington

Newly minted mechanical engineer here. I would absolutely recommend going to gunsmithing schools to pursue your dreams. There are several places and courses you can take to get certifications in order to be able to pursue that hands-on type career. However if you aren’t too keen on academics I would strongly recommend against attempting to pursue a degree in ANY kind of engineering. The courses are brutal, difficult and will make you want to quit each day you are there. Statistically speaking you are not likely to graduate with an engineering degree and going in with any amount of handicap towards one of the most difficult degrees you can attempt to attain would waste your time and money. As a previous comment had mentioned, becoming a machinist or gun smith is a much more hands on learning approach to be able to pursue a career in the firearms industry.

Henri-Gustave Delvigne (underappreciated innovator who pioneered numerous rifle technologies including undersized rifle chambers, wooden sabots, and conical bullets)

Absolutely love the video guys. Keep up the fun 5 guns

Including Ruger will cause some controversy and I'll let others hash that out. I've had a SR9 for about four years and have put literally thousands of rounds through it, mostly handloads and it flat out shoots. Eric, you have to do a top ten. There's way to many great designers to not have a top ten video. Also, for historical reference, Henry Ford was inspired by the gun industry and the idea of interchangeable parts as well as mass production.

I miss two mentions: Georg Luger: if not for the gun, at least for the 9mm, and Ferdinand Mannlicher. Just in WW1 Austria-Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, the Netherlands and Greece used his designes, Serbia and Germany in fewer numbers, the french Berthier, italian Carcano some older Mauser rifles and later the US M1 Garand used his clip design....

John M. Browning all the way. Is the best gun designer of all time !!!!!! Another awesome episode IV8888.

Everyone will want my new invention. Sharks with laser beams!

Have you seen the Browning Double auto? It was designed by his son. Really smooth and fast action. A little like the A5 but only with 2 shells. Also innovative in using alloys for lightness in the 50's.

My top 5 designers 1. John browning 2. Maxim 3. Colt 4. Paul Mauser and the last one is dan Wesson or Remington.

Hats off to Mr. Barrett for his gifts a few years ago of 1 rifle to every Tennessee Sheriff's office! Thank You!

Jim Sullivan is a good mention. The ar 15(cause stoner mainly did the ar 10 granted through that the ar 15). The mini 14 and others.

Ronnie Barrett was a photographer, not an engineer nor a gunsmith. That's amazing to me. Stoner was hired to use modern materials in firearm developments. Not taking away from his genius, but his mind and ability may not have been fully realized without being hired by Fairchild/Armalite. I think Stoner would have designed firearms, but who can say if they would have been developed without more money than Stoner earned as a machinist. Stoner developed the AR-10 because of NATO and the request for a 7.62 rifle. That rifle should have been adopted, not the M14. Stoner scaled down his design to then use the 5.56 NATO round and eventually the genius was recognized, adopted, and is still evolving.

20:11 Very true, there's likely so many firearm ideas no one has thought of yet.. And I thought of a few gun inventions which I'd like to try out and one of them is a pretty simple automatic action too.

I live roughly 10 minutes from the town of Sangerville Maine, this is where Hiram maxim lived and made these amazing machines

To many people overlook the importance of Eduard Rubin. He is best know for being the co-inventor of the Schimdt-Rubin rifles, but his most important contribution to firearms design was the modern copper jacketed bullet.

Ever think about doing some gun history podcast? I'd definitely buy into them, be great to listen to while working. Great vidja tho!

A crazy fact about the AK it was actually built by the inventor of the sterm gavier. He was held as a hostage during the Second World War, by the Soviet Union. Also one of my favorite designers who I forgot to put in my top 5 is Eugene stoner

I believe Johann Nicolaus von Dreyse deserves to be here, for his invention of the Dreyse needle rifle, the 1st bolt action rifle. It introduced: the reciprocating breechblock (the bolt), the rotating bolt (one of the best locking systems today, although that's because of the front locking lugs, which he didn't invent), keeping the primer attached to the cartridge, and the linear striker. I believe the Dreyse needle rifle was the beginning of modern breechloading, and the formation of a united German empire partially owes itself to the Dreyse needle rifle.

Now did Barret do something that was never done before? In WW1 and early WW2 there were large caliber anti tank rifles from .50 to .55 caliber like the Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr, the Lahti L-39, ype 97 20 mm AT Rifle, Panzerbüchse 38 & 39and the Boys rifle. All Barret did was dust off these older concepts and put them into use again.

+lokisgodhi- Correct, but there were some semi auto anti tank, what we would now call anti material, rifles around during WWII, such as the Soviet PTRS-41 in 14.5 x 114, the Finish Lahti L-39 in 20 x 138, the Swis Solothurn S-18/1000 in 20 x 138 B and an experimental Winchester .50 BMG semi auto that used a similar system as the M1 carbine. Like Eric said, everybody said it couldn't be done or that there was no use for it in the military, but he did it anyway, even though he had no engineering or firearms background. I'm sure Ronnie Barret got some inspiration from these designs and they probable showed him what did and didn't work. AS you mentioned, non of these firearms are man portable by one person except for possibly the experimental WWII Winchester, I would guess because of the extra weight and mass needed for firearm chambered in 14.5 or 20mm. He is probably the main reason that we have numerous semi auto .50 BMG rifles from various manufacturers. All of the anti tank rifles I listed can be found on Forgotten Weapons, look at the Winchester .50 BMG anti tank rifle, its like a WWII version of the M82 / M107, even has a 10 rd detachable magazine

Depending on list size, I’d throw TrackingPoint on there as well. But I’m glad to see Ronnie Barrett on there. He and Chris are great guy’s in the industry and down to earth.

And Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse absolutely deserves an honorable mention for designing the first bolt action rifle (M41 Needle Rifle) to be adopted en masse for military service.

Cool vid. Have you guys ever thought about making a video on running a gun store?

I recently purchased a Ruger American ranch 450 Bushmaster looking for some scope ideas do have any suggestions

John T Thompson also deserves a honorable mention as he created the Thompson SMG which was the first to be coined the term submachine gun and was used by gangsters like al Capone, John Dillinger, and Pretty boy floyd in the 20s and 30s and GI's in WW2 in all theatres like in Europe and the Pacific

hi eric would you consider doing a video for the ritter & stark sx1? it's a little expensive but it's a really cool rifle!

Tell the young man from Ruger that some of us out here would like to have a rifle in 327 Fed Mag as a companion to our Single Seven & LCRx-327. It seems that Marlin and Henry both tried to slap a 32 cal barrel & bolt on a 357 and hope for the best. It didn't work.

Bill Ruger, the guy who swore we don't need high cap mags, and refused to market one for the 10/22.

I wish I had the extra help in getting me into gunsmithing and one day own my own gunsmith shop or work at one. I do gunsmithing as a hobby and restoration on guns but I would love to turn it into a full time dream job. Maybe one day.

John Moses Browning descended from a gunsmith, indeed. But he didn’t have as much time to learn from his dad as you’d think. Though the snitched together in Utah, neither did any tinkering nor inventing together. Jonathan died when John was 24. John started building his own designs when Jonathan was near the end of his life. A favorite story of mine is when John was a Latter-day Saint missionary, in Georgia, about 1887 or 1888 he entered a gun shop and began tinkering with a rifle for sale there. Remember John and his brothers began building and selling guns themselves 10 years earlier. When the gun smith at the shop expressed his surprise at how well John knew his way around the new rifle, John’s traveling companion exclaimed, “he ought to - he designed the thing!”

You cannot forget Jim Sullivan who worked with Eugene Stoner. He has a lot of gun patents with under his belt.

Swiss Colonel Eduard Rubin deserves an honorable mention for a little thing he invented known as the full metal jacketed bullet circa 1882.

I'm disappointed that Hugo Smeisser wasn't even mentioned. A man that designed the first successful submachine gun the MP18 and the first successful assault rifle the Sturmgewehr. He was also working with Michail Kalashnikov in the development of the AK, not saying Smeisser designed it, but he certainly helped. Gaston Glock who was in my opinion the Kalashnikov of the handguns and the Czechs Koucky brothers. *This should have been a top 10 list.*

Very good choices!👍👍 The M107A1 is definitely on my bucket list!

Where was nambu, you said yourself that he was the John Browning of Japan.

The AK first went into production with a stamped receiver in 1948 and 49 with the Type 1 which was the original production model they then switched to milled receivers in 1951 with the type 2 and later type 3 then in 1959 backed to stamped with the AKM

Any recommendations for a IWB holster for the m107?

16:53 I know this is before my time but I'm pretty sure I've read about Vietnam GIs reacting like this to the new 'black rifle'. I believe the Glock had a similar reputation when it was new.

The firearms industry pushed the revolution to assembly line production. Devices called gauge blocks were introduced, they allowed repeatability in parts dimensions. The first true assembly lines were in arms manufacture, not Ford's automobiles.

What about John Pedersen? Kojirou Nambu? Guys, I left the tar at home, ya can't leave me hanging like this

You always have Beretta (Gallatin, Tn), Glock (Smyrna, Ga), HK (Columbus, Ga), Fn ( Columbia, Sc), Steyr (Bessemer, Al), CZ (Kansas City, Ks), Mossberg (Texas), Walther (Fort Smith, Ar), And even the freedom group products of Marlin, Remington, and Bushmaster (Alabama) if you're so inclined. So, there are many to choose from as far as manufacturers in solid gun rights states. And there are tons of options among smaller manufacturers. I just stuck to a few of the major players with manufacturing and/or corporate offices in gun friendly places.

Any one got any tips on how to get into the industry? Would like to work for a gun company as anything really. Or even a gun Smith in a shop.

Browning, Colt, Remington, Paul and Wilhelm Mauser, Mikhail Kalashnikov (AK-47), Eugene Stoner (M16 and Stoner 63 weapon system), Barrett, Marlin, Ruger, and others! lol

How abaut Ferdinand knight van Mannlicher with the first ever straightpull action and the mannlicher clip as well as the first patent on exchangeable magazines and the first ever drum magazine (Steyr Mannlicher)Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse for the first ever breech loading rifle Paul Mauser - one of the first Metrallic centerfire cartridges that was mass issued and the most perfect repeating rifle the parts interchangeability system and the spitzer bullet Georg Luger for the first ever mass issued full power millitary pistol and the most common caliber ever made there also is Nicolas Lebel and Paul Vieille - the first smokelless rifle cartridges Hiram Berdan and Edward Mounier Boxer for the first centerfire cartridges Eduard Alexander Rubin that made the first ever rimless cartridge and invented the FMJ Theodor Bergmann for the first ever Submachuinegun (if you dont count the Villar Perossa -the Thompson was just a concept when the bergman had functioning prototypes) Hugo Schmeisser for the first ever Assault rifle Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson for the first ever caseless ammunition and together with Louis-Nicolas Flobert some of the first Rimfire cartridges Gaston Glock with the Polymer wonder pistol Wernher von Braun for the first ever ICBM and meny meny more

Fun fact Kalashnikov once said that he “.....designed it [the AK-47] as a weapon that any man could become an expert of in 30 minutes”

James Lee anyone? I remeber watching a forgotten weapons vid on this rifle made by him, it was before the Lee Enfiled i for get which hun ut was but i think it was like one of the first mag fed bolt actions and was used with detachable mags ment to be reloaded with spare mags. Also of course the Lee Navy and i mean cmon Lee Enfield greatest bolt acrion battle rilfe ever made.

The list needed to be longer. I'd even break it down by era- muzzle loaders and black powder so you have the likes of Colt, Henry, Dreyse, etc. Development of repeaters, automatics and smokeless metallic cartridges so Maxim, Browning, Mannlicher, the Mausers, etc and then 20th century so the likes of Garand, Stoner, Schmeisser, Kalashnikov and Glock.

0:20 and I'm going to guess, mauser, maxim, browning, kalashnikov, stoner, and barrett?

I was waiting to see if Ian from Forgotten Weapons was going to poke his head in the room.

Praising Kalashnikov for designing the assault rifle, is like contributing Henry Ford with inventing the car. When people talk about the achievements of Kalashnikov, they are really talking about Hugo Schmeisser.

What about James Paris Lee (aka the guy who designed the box magazine we all know and love today)?
