商品描述
A captivating and wonderfully illustrated chronicle of one of the most influential and legendary names in gunsmithing history. John M. Browning was born in Ogden, Utah, in 1855, into a world of gunsmithing. His father was a gunsmith who was already well known for a number of innovations in the field. As a young boy, John spent hours in his father's shop and allegedly knew the name of every part of a gun before he could read. It's hardly surprising that at age twenty-three, he was filing his first patent for the "J. M. Browning Single-Shot Rifle." Browning inherited his father's gun making shop, and with funds of less than a thousand dollars, developed it into a highly successful business that developed several iconic firearms including the Colt Peacemaker. Browning also cooperated with Winchester to develop a whole range of small arms including semi-automatic pistols, single-shot rifles, repeater rifles, and machine guns. His enthusiasm and creativity have led many to believe he is the greatest firearm designer of all time. This fascinating book describes the Browning history, and in addition to covering the full range of inventions and designs, also shows various gun-making artifacts, copies of designers' drawings, and interesting photographs of the weapons in the hands of users. The History of Browning Firearms makes a perfect addition to the libraries of Wild West buffs and firearms enthusiasts.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一本引人入勝且插圖精美的紀錄,講述槍械製造歷史上最具影響力和傳奇性的名字之一。
約翰·M·布朗寧(John M. Browning)於1855年出生在猶他州的奧格登,成長於一個槍械製造的世界。他的父親是一位槍匠,因在該領域的多項創新而聞名。年幼的約翰在父親的工作坊中度過了數小時,據說在他學會閱讀之前就已經知道每個槍械部件的名稱。毫不奇怪,當他二十三歲時,他便為「J. M. Browning 單發步槍」申請了他的第一項專利。 布朗寧繼承了父親的槍械製造店,並以不到一千美元的資金將其發展成為一個非常成功的企業,開發了幾款標誌性的火器,包括科爾特和平使者(Colt Peacemaker)。布朗寧還與溫徹斯特(Winchester)合作,開發了一整套小型武器,包括半自動手槍、單發步槍、連發步槍和機槍。他的熱情和創造力使許多人相信他是有史以來最偉大的火器設計師。 這本引人入勝的書描述了布朗寧的歷史,除了涵蓋各種發明和設計外,還展示了各種槍械製作的文物、設計師的圖紙複製品以及武器在使用者手中的有趣照片。 布朗寧火器的歷史 是西部狂熱者和火器愛好者圖書館的完美補充。作者簡介
