We all know the big three, and even the Cajuns have their own.

I say for firearms enthusiasts:

John M. Browning, Eugene Stoner, and Samuel Colt.

Agree? Disagree?

And if any of you says Kalashnikov, you deserve a timeout.

I would replace Stoner with Hiram Maxim.

While stoner did invent a great weapon system it was only one, Maxim had multiple weapon systems.

Kalashnikov ?

That's my vote.

Or maybe Oliver Winchester, since Maxim became a European

Really a time out for Kalashnikov, really are that fucking ignorant. No it's not an AR, but has seen more battle field use and more killing than any other. It is the true weapon of mass destruction, it's user-friendliness  and rudimetery design are it's greatest assets. No it's not the refined rifle of a professional soldier, but it will kill you just as dead.

If it's a time out so be it but your a fucking idot for not including Kalashnikov

Kalashnikov borrowed and copied other firearms designs to come up with the AK...he is an innovator and produced a great weapon....but the "design" portion came from others....

I want to go old school and put Eli Whitney in there somewhere. We'd be well and rightly screwed without interchangeable parts.

All one-trick ponies.  Sure, there are multiple calibers and mag lengths but it is all the same pistol.



Compare 1911, Hi-Power, M1894 Winchester, M1895 Winchester, M1919/M2 machine guns, Remington M24, Browning Auto 5, BAR...and far more I don't remember...plus a shit ton of other Cult pistols.



Savage had more unique designs than those three.

Unknown - pronounced as "Un-ka-nome" by Tuco in The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.  Unknown is responsible for giving us rifling that imparted a spin on boolits, making them fly farther, straighter.

Casimir Lefaucheux - developed the first metallic pinfire cartridge.  This later evolved into the rimfire cartridge and later center-fire cartridge, which made semi-automatic and selective fire firearms possible.

Browning - Gawd's Prophet on Earth.  All modern designers pale in light of his achievements.
