Nice story, but where is the 1911 pistol? More of them have been made than anything else he did.

+1 to that! If it wasn't for the 1911, I might not be a gun-nut! That's a big deal!

Arrrr

Herstalgroup = Fabrique Nationale, and the story mostly about Browning's developments in Belgium; that's likely why the M1911 is missing.

It also seems to be focusing on arms that represented a particular innovation. For example, there's a good deal of time spent on the original 1895 machine gun, but the one that really made a statement, Ma Deuce, is simply mentioned as a different caliber. From the point of view of technological innovation, that's really all it is. The same thing goes for the semiauto pistols. The 1911 is a larger caliber refinement of the Colt and FN semiautos that had been on the market since the turn of the century.
