American Gunmaker-John M Browning Story

The feature video is a fine biography of John. M. Browning. The first bonus video about wildlife resource management is accurate and worthwhile watching. The last bonus video is a shortened view of the feature video.

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.

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

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.

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.

Excellent overview of the life of John Moses Browning. Highly recommended.

I ordered both this and the History Channel's "The Guns of Browning" at the same time. While this is good and informative if I were only going to buy one DVD about John M Browning it would not be this one.

Excellent video that is accurately described on the webpage.

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.
