That happened last year with the not so new 300 legend

The dueling dis tracks of the late 19th century.

the best kind of competition the one that forces industry improvement.

Lmao yanks out a bolt action 1911 at John browning *you bastard. * xD

Here’s my design. Not so fast sir!! Here is, MY design!

Seriously. Man had the Midas gun touch.

​@@olliegoriaBrowning had some stinkers every once in a while, they just never got produced or got significantly tweaked before production. The real business genius of Browning is that he basically got every gun company buying his patents regardless of viability on the grounds that "well, its John Browning, maybe he sees something we don't in this concept"

Sounds like a plot to a movie I'd see!

@@Beltzer0072 if they can make Ford vs Ferrari They surely can make browning vs maxim

*AAARREEE YOU RRRREADY TO RRRRIFLE*

The Mormon Mangler vs the British Brawler, live on payperview.

Tadicuslegion78 wasn't Maxim American?

@@feraligatorade99 Born in America but moved to Britain as an adult.

Yep, I'm not surprised that Maxim was an authoritarian lol

Do it Ian

How heavy was it, honey ? Yes.

@@limpetarch98k 😂

Does he even have a honey?

Which the god of gun design personally held and fiddled with

@@onelonecelt9168 I've heard talk that he's gay but I don't think it's true

It is truly awesome. We must see it firing!

They could have made the frame and the action in brass. That's how you make it more steampunk

@@StevieB8363 there is a video of it firing, search for "Colt Browning M1895-"The Potato Digger""

Hahaha I loved it too, reminded me of the talking seal video (search talking sea doggo)

I want to have a separate like button just for this

Poposperous! Outrage! 🧐

Recoiling with a gas operated 'Harumph!' . . . . a very worthy '6.9' from the Sherwood judge : )

With all my heart and soul i believe this is what actually happend... :)

Isn't it semi-auto only?

That thing must look pretty wild going anywhere?

@@BaronSamedi1959 it's a machine gun, by definition it's meant to go full auto.

Its even funnier when you realise Browning thought the whole process in detail then decided to put it on paper.

@@thischannelisbackon5679 It's even wilder than that. Usually what he did was think through the process, then _build_ it, then sell it to Winchester and let _them_ put it on paper. :)

Or a satire Band

The Patent Violator was a minor Spawn villian in early drafts of the comic

@@G-Mastah-Fash It's gotta be a band name.

Or porno

The Patent Violators was the name of my high school rock band.

That sounds near Teckheresy... Please go on.

It was actually done two different times, the first one was just proof of concept that energy was being wasted out the muzzle in the form of pressurized gas. They only linked the muzzle flap to the (modified, cut) lever & attached a return spring. Upon watching it cycle, he noticed it could be further improved to run full auto by adjusting the timing of a couple components. There's a documentary out there about John Moses Browning & his accomplishments which details it quite well. When Winchester heard of his improved design, they made him an offer of "deliver in 3 months for $10K" that he promptly countered. He said "if I take longer than 1 month, it's free, but if I do it in a month, I want (I believe) $30K." He hand delivered it to the owner of Winchester 3 weeks later, which gave him so much credibility that a number of his design patents were bought unseen, without question by Winchester for years to come because they didn't want him to turn to their competition. Browning actually had a meeting with the owner of Remington to show off a new design & while John was waiting, the man fell dead from a heart attack (or maybe a stroke, can't remember) & thus, Browning was sent home empty handed. Had that partnership taken place, I believe it would've been a game changing event in the firearm industry. At the turn of the century, remington made some of the highest quality pieces but they were slightly too expensive due to complicated designs taking extra machine time & this was something Browning excelled at with his simplistic design (well, except for the B.A.R, that is)

Someone needs to build one of these.

If the shtf that would be a semi easy way for a low capacity full auto or a lightning link

Exactly what I was thinking. Browning had a machinegun first.

I love JMB, but I'd put Isambard Kingdom Brunel ahead of him by a good margin. Brunel was rejected by the engineering school his father wanted him to attend, so he had to apprentice with a clockmaker instead; yet he went on to become the British Empire's greatest builder.

@@ostiariusalpha Brunel is underrated as well.

WALTERBROADDUS I don't believe John Browning even had to use a Slide-rule for his work.

Maxim was also an incredibly smart dude

Good points. I agree.

Why did the thought of machine guns running Arch cross my mind when I heard the words "operating system"?

ok nerds back to your caves

My PKM is running Android now.

Real guns are interrupt driven ;)

My rpk uses 2 toasters and half a bottle of maker's mark as an operating system

It looks like a umbrella.

Explain to me the difference

@@SgtKOnyx size of the bullet... well, if it's a cannon, it fires a grenade/shell

Except for that teeny tiny muzzle opening...

@@TheWorldEnd2 Not exactly right. Cannon would also fire solid ball for breaching ship hulls. One of the reasons the British beat the Spanish Armada was because their solid shot couldn't easily breach the English oak hull of the British ships. Both sides documented that the shot would just bounce off the British ships. The shot put event in track and field events is so named because originally solid cannon shot was used for it. 20mm and 30mm aircraft guns today use a mix of tracer and solid bullets. They're essentially scaled up machine guns and electrically powered Gatling guns but are called cannon because of the caliber they fire. In that regard, you're correct about why they're called cannon but your incorrect about the fact that cannon only fire grenades and shells.

If you check out vbbsmyt you can find a brilliant animation of the original gas tappet version, along with a bunch of other really cool stuff.

@@calska140 oh, it trickled down alright. Someones leg! Boomshakalaka!!

@@drdoofenshootz7 It wound up a brown stain on the mattress!

But were they wearing their patent leather shoes?

stop. please.

@@calska140 So are drugs, video games and numerous other subjects.

@@calska140 I don't know if you are aware or not, but this channel, like many others... are demonetized and YT doesn't assign comercial publicity to 'em; they did with this video, and they did assign other random advertisement to some other few videos of this channel since YT began with this demonetization policy based on...!?. I just was informing Ian that YT this morning assigned a random advertisement to this video, that's all; our kids are in danger of can't find a long term decent job that pay the bills mainly, the drugs abuse it's a very minoritary problem here in this vegans, Iphone, yoga and gym age. EDIT: Seems that they'd retired the ad now, before that the video begins; it was there on the 1st 20 something minutes.

...by mounting one on the said plane?

@@ringowunderlich2241 or on the ground .

Just keep in timeline. Just the idea of a armed airplane was new in 1914.

A good sneeze could take down a World War 1 biplane.

Problem, Maxim had very few patents to his name. Browning as far as I know holds the record for firearms patents by a single individual. Even Eugene stoner had a lot of help with the M16 design.

I agree and there’s many more. John Browning was a gun genius. Nobody else comes close.
