Wars were won by this Man's genius. Freedom earned by his impervious designs. An almost unbelievable story.

Excellent documentary! I really appreciated how it showed that John Moses Browning's greatest achievement wasn't simply inventing legendary firearms, but creating the mechanical principles that outlived every factory and every company that manufactured them. The way you connected the Winchester partnership, the Auto-5 royalty dispute, the M1911, the M2, and FN's long collaboration made this one of the most compelling firearms history documentaries I've watched.

You didn't mention that Remington also made the Browning .22 Auto, the Model 24. They also made the Model 11 Automatic Shotgun, the Sister of the Auto 5. After the patent expired, Winchester, and Savage followed suit.
