Top 10 Gun Designers We Should ALL Be Thankful For!!
MOST of the guns we enjoy today are based on designs from long ago. THIS video looks at the 10 Best Gun Designers We ALL Owe a BIG Thank You To!
AK should be #1. Bullet proof (Ivan proof) reliability and adequate accuracy. Cheap ammo too, until recently.
One day the Garand will be the last actual battle rifle you will be able to legally possess. History, 8rd clip, no scary box magazine, you could lose the bayonet lug. It’s not even black. Definitely my favorite.
Ker-pow.
“be allowed to own”?
I don’t own an AK, AR or a M1 Garand. But I own several battle rifles. I reload for them all. We will keep ours.
They can pound sand.
I am a fan of the M1A, a child / grand child of the M1 Garand.
I think we should all be able to see by now that the global elite has their ready answer to gun owners everywhere: biological weapons.
These are people who view control of the masses as the ultimate chess game.
Their warfare is ‘clean’ (no bombed out buildings, no blown up bridges.).
Hugo Schmeisser who created the first “assault rifle” the StG 44 which largely influenced the-47.
Clean?
No, not totally.
It is Pure Evil.
Must include:
Browning
Mauser
Colt
Mannlicher
Kalishnakov
Lee
Maxim
The Communists/Fascists would say privately and quietly that it “Preserves the means of production”, therefore in their way of thinking one MIGHT say “clean”. Certainly evil also, as you said.
Pederson, Johnson, Sharps, Wesson, Nagant, Lee
WAAAAAAY to US centric list and way too much of a recency bias.
Rudolf Frommer
Ferdinand Von Mannlicher
Karen Krnka
Carl Walther
Hugo Schmeisser
Theodor Bergmann
Are all designers who were very important in the heyday of design when the first automatic pistols, sub machine guns, assault rifles and machine guns were developed - that would be from about 1880-1950. Yes, obviously Browning is the titan here but the Germans and Austrians-Hungarian designers were at the forefront of new development along with the Americans.

This Ping List is for all things pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.

Bucket list is
Getting full here,
Thanks.
I should have put an ‘sarc’ after ‘clean’. People gone one way or another, but the property of people and nations left intact. The nazis took all the valubles they ‘found’ in WW2.
The glowbalist snakes view the people’s possessions as the ultimate ‘barn find’; the latest example of uncontrollable greed.
Evil plus
Transhuman
Eugenist
Globalist Fascists
Servants of Satan himself.
Agree on all your list.
Add:
Dieudonné Saive - Browning High Power, FN 49, FAL
Arthur Savage - Model 99
Gen. John T. Thompson - eponymous submachine gun
Bill Ruger - a bunch
Many others
