Browning was the principal designer for Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1883 to 1902.[2]
Browning designed the M1911 pistol, a earlier automatic pistol design that has influenced the design of many automated pistols that followed it.[3]
The M2 machine gun, a heavy machine gun, firing half inch bullets, remains widely used.[2]
