| More guns... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I recently bought this little pistol of Colt's to be a carry piece. It's lightweight, corrosion resistant and really small for the .45 caliber punch. I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy. While it's not a bullseye gun, it will be more than adequate for what it was designed for. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The M16A2. This is the main battle rifle issued to our troops today. While I'm not really a fan, I would be remiss if I didn't include it. Besides, it shoots such cute little bullets. For those of you who are fans of this rifle, I might suggest going to the AR15 home page, where you'll find all the information you could ever ask for. Those of you who would like to visit an M15/AR15 Forum, try the link. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I think that should be "Sproing!" instead of Bang. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| A slightly modified Colt Government Model 1911A1. Introduced to the military in 1911 to provide the troops with more stopping power, John Browning's masterful creation is probably the most duplicated and imitated weapon in history. It has been built by untold companies around the world, and is still the mainstay for knowledgeable handgunners. Sorry to all you that carry the plastic guns, but I'll take a Colt any day! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is a picture of my M1911A1 before I took to working on it. This was a WWII vintage Remington Rand (yes, the adding machine people) M1911. This particular gun has had a Bar-Sto match barrel and bushing, King Beavertail Safety, Wilson Extended thumb safety, slide release and trigger, Chip McCormick hammer and sear, Millet fixed sights and Hogue Grips. It also has been hard chromed to protect it from the elements and sweat. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is the 'after' shot. Sorry the exposure is a little blown out, but I couldn't find a good exposure setting. I'll try again with natural light some time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Here's another John Browning invention, one that carries his name. This is the Browning Automatic Rifle or BAR. It was introduced just a little to late to be of any real use during World War I, however, it saw service in World War II, Korea, and for a short time during the Viet Nam War. It fires the 30-06 round, and was easily usable to 800-1000 yards. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yet another John Browning weapon. This is the Browning .50 caliber heavy machine gun. It mades its debut in WWII and is still in use to this day. Ranges of two miles or more make this a devasting weapon on any battle field. There have also been several versions used in aircraft, both fixed inside the wings or fuselage or mounted in ball turrets. They're not bad for shooting water buffaloes, either. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ok, so John Browning was a busy guy. This is the M1919 light machine gun, which saw duty in WWII, Korea and in Viet Nam. It was a belt fed, 30-06 machine gun which was durable, reasonably light to transport and could lay down a withering fire. It's available today in a semi-automatic form, and a few ClassIII full machine guns are floating around on the market. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The future of main battle weapons? From what I've been able to determine, this shoulder fired weapon fires a 20mm antipersonnel or high explosive round from the top barrel, and a 3 shot burst 5.56Nato round from the bottom. Sounds nasty. I want one! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The M-60 Light Machine Gun is the current l.m.g. of all branches of the US military. With a cycling rate of over 600 rounds per minute, and its light weight and ease of shooting, it is probably the premiere lmg in the world today. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
