  • John Browning's BAR, the M1918 (Pennsylvania Military Museum, T
    PMM BLOG ARCHIVE June 23, 2020 John Browning's BAR, the M1918 (Pennsylvania Military Museum, T. Gum, Site Admin.) Few names in American manufacturing history garner attention like John Moses Browning. Father to countless firearm designs and cartridges standing the test of time and countless trials by through combat, hunting expeditions, and competitions. It was perhaps his early work in the industry that continues to draw praise from veterans and historians alike. Next to the M1911, the M1918 is a firearm that was utilized by brave Americans in two World Wars. Photo of M1918A2 (BAR), MM84.1.1A-C. Pictured here is an M1918A2 that is part of the permanent collection of the Pennsylvania Military Museum. The M1918, or rather, the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), first chambered for the 30.06 Springfield Cartridge, was designed by Browning in 1917 to meet the needs of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF). When the AEF deployed, they relied heavily on British and French arms, which proved to be ineffective and unreliable for the most part when faced with the realities (weather and tactics) of trench warfare. One such example being the French Chauchat. Photo of M1918A2 (BAR), MM84.1.1A-C. The BAR weighs approximately fifteen to twenty pounds, depending on variant and cartridge load. Featuring a detachable box magazine, it was capable of having a twenty or forty-round magazine loaded. This gave the weapon a firing capacity of approximately 600 rounds per minute, and an effective range of 1,500 yards though the 30.06 cartridge could be fired over 4,000 yards.

  • Last of the Classic Lever Actions by Rob Kassab & Brad Dunbar
    Winchester Model 1895 - Last of The Classic Lever Actions By Rob Kassab & Brad Dunbar The title of this excellent new book by Kassab and Dunbar says it all; the Model 1895 Winchester was really the last of the classic lever-action rifles. The 1895 was indeed a “transition” firearm that saw big changes in the firearms world and had a successful career not only in America but all over the world. Chamberings in the Model ’95 ran the gamut from black-powder cartridges to smokeless, high-velocity rounds. If I’ve piqued your interest in learning more about the Winchester Model 1895, then you are in luck. This new book by Rob Kassab and Brad Dunbar will answer every question you could have about the rifle. I thought I was pretty well-versed on 1895s but found out that I merely knew enough to be dangerous. There is much more to the ’95 Winchester story than I would have imagined. Fortunately, Kassab and Dunbar have done an excellent job in telling that story. From the genius of John Browning and William Mason to standardized and custom production at Winchester, reloading tools, military contracts, accoutrements such as slings and bayonets, and of course, the Theodore Roosevelt connection . all are covered in this comprehensive book. My own interest in Model 1895s has always centered around the musket contract that was done with Russia for the first World War. The ’95 was one of the very few lever-action rifles to serve in a major conflict when the world had almost universally gone to bolt-action rifles for their armies.

    BROWNING ARMS COMPANY John Browning with a Browning automatic rifle The business known as the Browning Arms Company was officially organized in Ogden, Utah, under that name in 1927, a year after its most famous namesake, John Moses Browning, died. In actuality, the Browning organization had been around as early as Jonathan Browning′ s arrival in Utah and the establishment of his gun shop in Ogden in 1852. With the death of Jonathan, his son John Moses Browning became the head of the family′s gunsmithing business, and with his brothers - Matthew, Jonathan Edmund, Thomas Samuel, William, and George - established in 1872 the Browning Brothers Company with its shop and retail store in Ogden. John Moses Browning has been called "the greatest firearms inventor the world has ever known." His first patent was granted on 7 October 1879. He is credited with 128 gun patents, and some fifty million sports and military weapons were manufactured from those patents during the forty-seven years he was an active inventor. Among his most famous guns produced were the 45-caliber pistol; the 1895 Colt Peacemaker machine gun; the Browning automatic rifle; a variety of 30- and 50­ caliber machine guns used in World War II; and the Browning Automatic-5 shotgun first made in 1902 and still produced today. Browning Brothers manufactured guns in Ogden and produced 600 Browning single-shot rifles before the company turned over the patent to the Winchester Arms Company. From that time on, the company contracted with other arms manufacturing companies to produce its weapons. These companies included, in addition to Winchester Arms, the Colt Arms Manufacturing Company, the Fabrique Nationale of 1 of 3 Belgium, the Remington Arms Company, and Savage Arms Company.

Of course the 1911 is an outdated design. It came from an era when weapons were designed to win fights, not to avoid product liability lawsuits. It came from an era where it was the norm to learn how your weapon operated and to practice that operation until it became second nature, not to design the piece to the lowest common denominator. It came from an era in which our country tried to supply its fighting men with the best tools possible, unlike today, when our fighting men and women are issued hardware that was adopted because of international deal-making or the fact that the factory is in some well-connected congressman's district. Yes, beyond any shadow of a doubt, the 1911 IS an outdated design....and that's exactly what I love about it. Rosco S.

The restoration technicians continue working hard on the wings, with new skin and wheel wheel completion the major tasks this month. Hydraulic plumbing and radio wiring is the focus of fuselage restoration. Wing The structurally complex wing remains the major focus of restoration efforts this month. The process of fitting, trimming and drilling the wing skins takes a great deal of time, but progress is steady. AIRCORPS AVIATION | 2 Nov/Dec 2020 The gun bay is nearly ready for the 4 Browning M-2 .50 caliber guns. The eight .50 caliber machine guns gave the P-47 the second highest projectile throw-weight of any U.S. fighter that served in World War II, second only to the Northrop P-61 Black Widow night fighter. AIRCORPS AVIATION | 3 Nov/Dec 2020 The ammunition bays are near completion. This is the upper inboard portion of the right wing. With all the closely spaced structural elements, it is easy to see why so many characterize the P-47 as “built like a tank”.

  • Detail Study of Bullet Being Fired from Gun
    Detail study of bullet being fired from gun DETAIL STUDY OF BULLET BEING FIRED FROM GUN Recoil of a Gun When a bullet is fired from a gun, the gases produced in the barrel exert a tremendous force on the bullet (action force). As a result, the bullet moves forward with a great velocity called the muzzle velocity. The bullet at the same time exerts an equal force on the gun in the opposite direction (reaction force). Due to this the gun moves backwards. This backward motion of the gun is called the recoil of the gun. The velocity with which the gun moves backwards is called the recoil velocity. Recoil of Gun Let 'M' be the mass of the gun and m that of the bullet. Before firing both are at rest. After firing let 'V' be the velocity of the gun and 'v' that of the bullet. By law of conservation of linear momentum, Initial momentum of gun and bullet = final momentum of gun and bullet. The initial momentum of the gun and the bullet is equal to zero since they are initially at rest. Final momentum after firing = M*V + m*v = 0 [The negative sign indicates that the gun is recoiling] Long recoil operation Key for recoil operation diagrams. Block diagram of long recoil operation cycle. Long recoil operation is found primarily in shotguns, particularly ones based on John Browning Auto-5 action. In a long recoil action, the barrel and bolt remain locked together during recoil, compressing the recoil spring or springs. Following this rearward movement, the bolt locks to the rear and the barrel is forced forward by the spring.
