The most historically important guns ever made 😱

Here's my list, what's yours?

“I remember when I bought a bomber plane for 23 dollars”

[BreadcrustsOG]

“only 15$ back in 1911” that would have been like a monthly salary back in 1911💀💀

[jimmed]

“ hey dad did you know there is one billion guns in the world?!”
“ oh no no no no, one billion REGISTERED guns, son”

[MA_AIRSOFT]

“That’s 1 firearm for every 12 people. The question is how do we arm the other 11?”

[notdave]

The colt single action army was pretty important I’d say.

Flintlock pistol: how could you forget me….

[finessed]

I gotta go with the ray gun. Got me through some waves.

[aidenorr]

I would say the M1 Garand was actually more important than the AK47 because Mikhail Kalashnikov himself said it was the inspiration to the AK47.

The browning m2 was actually designed in 1918 proving how skilled of a gunsmith john browning was

[gronkykong]

BMG in .50 BMG stands for browning machine gun, and it was invented for the M2. (CORRECTION) it was made for a single shot antitank gun in ww1, but the us army ended up buying a British one. The round was adopted into an antiaircraft gun, and at the time would have been .50 browning. Thank you Dr anarchy for correcting me.

"Blame the Nazi Germans for making me become a gun designer … I always wanted to construct agriculture machinery.“ - Mikhail Kalashnikov

[chris.]

Fun fact: The M2 Browning as adopted in 1933, not the end of WWII.

[greenscreen]

Colt revolvers should be on here. Having 6 shots and being able to reload quickly is a huge change

[DopyWantsAPeanut]

The Maxim Gun, by far the most historically important firearm ever, in both contemporary impact and continuing technological significance.

[thejakepeanutchannel]

This year’s Valentine’s Day was the 111th anniversary of the 1911. Fittingly, I spent that particular day with a model of one

[brassboo]

Any gun history buff would tell you most of these aren’t really the most historically important, more like the most popular throughout history. These are also just guns that people like today.

[armahpruski]

Most historically important gun? How 'bout the first one
"The Fire Lance"

[daczy]

Thing is: Most of these AKs are AKMs, the upgraded version of the 47.

[revracentertainment]

I love how two of the designs were by John Browning

[jacombodoescare]

The M16, it led to development of TONS of rifles.
