What Country Produced the Most Advances In FireArms History?

[RP88]

I think the US wins because of Henry Ford's pioneering of mass production and with Eli Whitney stealing Honore Blanc's idea of interchangeable parts and upscaling it to things other than firearms.

without those two things, firearms technology would not exist.

I think you will find that John C Garand was a Canadian gentleman. The Canucks deserve a bit of credit.

1. John Garand was NOT a "Canadian gentleman". He was born in Canada, but applied for and was granted U.S. citizenship in the early 1920's - making him every bit as American as George Washington.

2. John Garand was an American long before he undertook to design the M-1... for the Americans.

3. The Socialist wasteland that is Canada drives their best engineers and doctors HERE, (thanks, btw,...), so the M-1 could NOT have been born there. The corrupt collectivist system in Canada can only spawn abortions like the Ross rifle.

Utah ranks high on the list.

Utah is a country, just ask some of the members around here, or take note of where some members are located.

mbt2001:
I vote Texas...

They are the ones who showed all you Yankees and the rest of the world how to actually USE them.

j/k

So wouldn't that fall under Mexico since all the famous Texans known for their weapons denounced their US citizenship and became Mexicans? That also means the Bowie knife and so on is a Mexican invention.

Okay.. okay, guys you can put away your guns now.
