Guns And Their Inventor 

Colt,Kalashnikov,and Browning probably the most recognisable names ever in gun community

Rest in peace, Gaston Glock. Your contributions to the world of firearms will be remembered.

i love when guns are named after their creators

Can't even imagine what Saive seen in his whole life time. Born in 1888 saw pre dreadnought steel beast (Russo Japanese war) Saw ww1 and ww2 - saw rise and fall of german empire/overthrow of russian monarchy and many more events that happened. Saw vietnam and korean war And built the finest battle rifle ever and also live to see it's legacy. He's a slept on legend

John Browning be like - I'm bored, I'm gonna deisgn a gun that last a century

I grew up with a M1 Carbine used in WWII. It was made by a company called Rock-Ola. Dad always check his ammo to see if it I had used it. I took many of whippings for using ammo. One day it actually saved my life when I walked up on a big boar black bear. Dropped him with several shots to the head. When dad got home, I took him to the bear in the woods and showed him what I did. I was proud of it. When we got back home, he whooped me harder than ever. Then he handed me the rifle, told me it was mine from then on out, but I had to pay for my own ammo. At the time I was 8 years old, and I worked for a WWII vet that stormed the beaches of Normandy. He had an M1 Garand, 1911 and several other awesome firearms. He paid me with ammo and money. He thought of me as a grandson. When he died, he willed all of his guns to me. The old man even taught me how to drive in an old Dodge Pickup when I was 10. This what the younger generation is missing out on. There is so much life to be experienced outside of looking at a screen.

I would add the following: famous guns: - Gattling Gun - 1861 Richard Gattling - SVD sniper rifle - 1961 Yevgenij Dragunov - MP5 Submachine - 1966 Edmund Heckler, Theodor Koch - Barrett M82 - 1980 - Ronnie G. Barrett

John Browning is hands down the greatest firearms creator out there. His influence on guns have been insurmountable

Hats off to Gaston Glock for living to be over 100. Edit: Did a quick search and apparently he was born in 1929. Still, being in his mid 90s is still pretty impressive.

I love how 100y+ old m2 browning doesn't look out of place on modern battlefield, even significantly younger DSHK looks older.

A bit of trivia : James Marshall Williams, the designer of the M1 was in fact imprisoned, and while in prison, developed the carbine.

Werder Gruner, the MG42 designer might not be known as much as other prolific gun designers like Browning or Colt, but when came his time to shine, he didn’t disappoint at all. The MG42 was a terror in the battlefield and put fear into the mind of brave soldiers who had come to know its existence. Such an unfortunate that such a weapon belonged to the aggressive party of the war.

The AK47 is one of the most iconic weapons of all time. And it also shows how good of a weapon is that its still being used even to this day.

R.I.P Gaston Glock, you will be remembered

That was not a Lee Enfield.... it was a P14 Enfield rifle or M1917 Enfield (Sometimes known as P17) that the Americans used. (They outwardly look the exact same but are chambered in different cartriages)

Heinrich Vollmer's designs are so innovative

Glock died today

Only until now I realize how many outstanding guns John Browning has designed

Fun fact the Galil’s creator was actually born; Yisreal Balashnikov. He changed his name to avoid any confusion with Mikhail Kalashnikov when constructing the Galil.

Galil's inventors surname was Balashnikov. His surname, as well as his gun, were very similar to another famous weapons inventor. He later changed his surname to Galili

It's a SVT-40, not 44. Could've also mentioned its predecessor, the SVT-38 instead, as it was the earlier model.

The DSHK Machine gun looks like something straight out of a fever dream

Gaston Glock was born 1929 :) Greetings from Austria :D

I like that most of the guns were named after their inventors! Edit: 26 👍s

John Moses Browning was the most successful weapons designer to ever live. He was the Einstein of gun inventors nobody comes close to him.

Шпагин, Калашников, Дегтярев, Мосин, Токарев, Макаров легендарны

Kijiro Nambu lived at such a dynamic time in Japan. The Meiji restoration had just started throwing them centuries into the future. He watched Japan grow from an isolated island nation to one with a military that could compete with Europe. Then WW2 and finally seeing his country brought to its knees before dying while still under US occupation

03:10 The first thing to know about machine guns is that the MG-42 is a work of art. It still took its place in the inventories of armies in 2023.

nobody makes a pistol quite like Gaston!

The Bergmann Mp18 and the following improved Mp28 were actually designed by Hugo Schmeisser... he simply worked together with the Bergmann Family which manufactured the gun. Theodor Bergmann was also a more or less successful arms designer with his own creations in his life but he is not the inventor of the Mp18.

The fact that 1911 is still being used today is astounding, the design that way ahead of it's time

Gaston Glock passed away today 27th of December

Need a whole list just for Browning

John Browning, from the Great State of Utah, USA. Somewhere in the world, a weapon designed by John Browning is guarding your freedom.

Gaston Glock just died 😢

Kalashnikov is like the most popular name around the world because of that weapon, it’s insane 😂

My Dad got to Vietnam in September of 1966. The new M16 was failing to do the job. Traded with some Aussies for an FN. Got into trouble because Uncle Sam didn't give to him. Said let's have a target shoot out. Dad put 5 rounds in a group before the other gun stopped functioning. Still made him give up the FN.

DAMN GASTON GLOCK DON'T DIE HE"S LEGEND

0:18 Maxim’s son created the silencer because his father went deaf firing the maxim machine gun.

The great five faces of firearms: - Gaston Glock - Mikhail Kalashnikov - Samuel Colt - John Moses Browning - Eugene Stoner

Sudayev, Degtyarov, half of Soviet stuff also Kalashnikov, Dragunov,.....

- So, how many times do you want to write down browning's name for his impressive inventions? - Yes.

You know, thank God all these inventors had cool last names.

John Moses Browning, maybe the single greatest inventor of firearms, so many still in service.

AK-47 Mikhail Kalashnikov🔥🔥🔥

Fact: Eugene Stoner and Jim Sullivan both invented different types of constant recoil weapons (the Stoner 86/Knights light machine gun) and ( Sullivan's Ultimax)..They both first saw constant recoil ( that run out thing Stoner called it) in the German STG44 assault rifle..

Узиэль Гал ( настоящее имя Готтард Глас ) не изобрел , а перекомпановал пистолет-пулемет Холека . Галиль повторил это же с автоматом Валмет ( клон АК ) . Самый великий конструктор - Джон Браунинг .

Everyone already knew there was going to be a lot of John Browning right

Georg Luger, not George. Williams designed the tappet system but wasn't the designer of M1 carbine.

Rest in peace, Mr.Glock

Ironically Kalashnikov and Glock both passed at the age of 94. My two favorite firearm designers. I own firearms that were designed by both of them and wish I could have met them in person.

R.I.P Gaston..

Armalite AR-10 looks like if an AK-47 and a M-16 had a baby

Eugene stoner Created on of the Most Iconic and Best Rifles, the Colt M16.

Glock 17, AK-47, IWI Galil were featured in Counter-Strike video games.

"Nam" of Nambu is the same character as "Nam" of Vietnam. Nam means South, in Chinese. but Chinese pronunciation has changed to "Nan" since then. so Nanjing means South Capital, as opposed to Beijing meaning North Capital. Also, "Nam" of Gangnam Style, Gang means River. but Chinese pronunciation has shifted to Jiāng. ultimately same etymology as Ganges.

All gun maker looking real chad with those beards

Mikhail kalashnikov❤❤

Mr Browning was on a roll with all these classic firearms that birthed most thing we fire with today

R.I.P Gaston Glock

Gaston was born in 1929 and died in 2023

2:33 what is that Kind of Gun? Who made that?

STG 44 always been one of my favs

Gaston Glock died 27.12.2023😢

Something for the nerd column: the Nambu you show is a Model 14, but with the larger trigger guard it is WWII modification as the previous models would not allow firing with gloves on. It was first observed by the US forces in the Battle of the Aleutian Islands and was nicknamed the :Kiska: after the island where it was first confronted by US forces.

Maxim was way ahead of the game

Man this aged fast. Guston Glock, the man that likes to shoot things into other things, died on december 27

Im still wondering how somebody ended up with the last name "Stoner" and decided to keep it

Gaston Glock had passed away in December 27 2023 in age of 94. F

Some people would say inventions are racist....😁😁😁

4:18 fun fact about Galil that wasn't his real last name he changed it to Galil because his actual last name was Balashnikov

Not many people know this, but Kijiro Nambu wasn't involved in the design of the Type 14.

RIP Gaston Glock (1929 - 2023)

Gaston Glock was gassed up when he invented the glock! 🤪🤣

Should have included Springfields, especially 1861 Musket, and the 1903. Also the Martini-Henry as well as the 1860 Henry Repeater.

I think my favorite quote comes from call of Juarez. “God created man… Samuel colt made them equal.”

3:30 ah yes the "the Right Arm of the freeworld" the most widely used rifle in history used by more than 90 countried

Greatest contribution to mankind

The Mosin, greatest rifle of the world wars, still used today by russian snipers because of its accuracy, reliability and ease of maintenance. One of the few surviving WWII guns used by modern military others being MG-42, M2 and DSHK a

Some people believe Glock did not invented Glock pistol, his employee did, and after that guy left glock company they did not have new design show up any more.

You missed SKS made by Simonov ,RPD made by Degtyarev

Gaston Glock died recently. R.I.P. the creator of the glock

Eugene Stoner

It turns out that the AK47 was not designed by Agent 47

''From 1946 to 1952, Schmeisser was conscripted into the Russian weapons factory in Ischewsk. At the same time, Michael Kalashnikov developed and produced his AK 47 there. Schmeisser lead the design team''

I didn't know Steyr M1913 was made by czech guy. Thanks for including it.

Ar 10 Ar 15 And M16 Are Same Body Of Assault Rifle

Browning, Stoner, and Colt. Browning just kept getting bigger and bigger. I also didn’t Kalashnikov made the PKM.

Part 2 needs to happen. I want to see LUDWIG VORGRIMLER's name on it.

RIP Gaston Glock

Where the fedorov avtomat (the first Automatic Rifle)

AK_74

SKS designed and manufactured at 1941 like SVT from Tokarev!

Ak47❤

What about Smith & Wesson?

Svt 44? This is svt 40!

AK-47 doesn't exist, it's called AK

All these guns named after their inventors just make me imagine a world where ARs are called Stoner rifles.

*Р У С С К И Е П У Ш К И - С И Л А ! ! !* 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪👍👍👍

Eugene Stoner and Kalashnikov were geniuses
