    I'd be hard pressed to put anyone in the same league as John Browning. There have been many great firearms designers (which proves to me that God is definitely pro-gun) but I'm not sure any have risen to the level of JMB.

    ETA: There's a big difference between designing the entire gun/cartridge and making it work well and adding little tweaks and adjustments that, at most, keep it working.
