American Gunmaker-John M Browning Story

John Browning designed firearms that got America through WWI and WWII. His 1911 handgun was used in both of those wars and on into Korea and Vietnam. Even more designs that were popular from the early 1900's and on into today. One manufacturer has been using the Browning name as well. Talk about genius he designed other firearms that other companies are living off of today.

Interesting, informative and accurate documentary of (by far) the most prolific firearm inventor in history. It starts with his father, Jonathan Browning's firearms, and then covers John M. Browning's invention of his single shot rifle, his years inventing firearms for Winchester, FN Herstal in Belgium, Remington, Colt, and his invention of automatic firearms(and 1911 pistol) for the US military. This documentary would probably be of interest to anyone who has a general interest in inventors, not just firearm enthusiasts. The only minor criticism I have is that it was apparently copied from an older, unrestored film print, and has a few glitches during its 58 minutes.

Identical to the video shown at the Browning Museum in Ogden, UT.

Fess Parker telling the story of the greatest gun maker in America.

Nice documentary on John Brownings life and the guns he created ! Partially an old film ,but enjoyable !

if you like guns you know about the Brownings...very interesting family.

For any firearm historian/collector it is a must-see as it describes one of the most influential figures of the 1900's. John Browning was a brilliant inventor responsible for the first repeating gun and many more engineering marvels of the time still used and unchanged today. The documentary is very informative and accurate. Highly recommended.

a must have

Great documentary on the life and achievements of a firearms legend. For gun/history buffs this is a great source of interesting information really worth the price of admission.
