I don't believe that John Browning designed all of these weapons himself. He must have had a team of collaborators and I wouldn't doubt that he took credit for other people's work.
When you look at other great gun designers, none of them have nearly as many significant gun designs attributed to them

I thought this about Kalashnikov. Some farm kid from the tank regiment making this amazing assault rifle? I think it was a story the soviets made to create false hope for their nation

>he doubts the genius of browning
Nigga made a gas actuated gun in less than a week after seeing his manlet friend blow around grass with the muzzle blast

I attribute the AK to pic related

the AK-47 is an improvement on the MP44
This sounds about as retarded as that one theory about Shakespeare not writing all of his plays by himself.

Dude.
I can literally strip and clean a browning m2 machine gun blindfolded ( we had competitions, 58 seconds strip and reassemble was my personal best).
Simp!e as fuck design, no conspiracy here man.

>two guns look similar
>they must be functionally the same
There are only like three vaguely similar parts.

The competition that resulted in the AK was well documented, as it was a bureaucratic endeavor. Kalashnikov was the main designer of the AK-47, that said his original design was mediocre at best and it was only after he started taking ideas from the other designs involved in the trails that the AK became a good rifle.

I mean, hell, he just stole the safety from the Remington model 8/81.

The rifle isn't really complicated, and it's public knowledge he had assistance from Simonov in technical details like how to make a proper gas port.
The thing that made the AK so revolutionary was more it's intermediate caliber and large-scale production methods. It just so happens to have a solid design under it.

The angel Moroni gave him the designs, duh. Everyone knows that.

Wasn't the designing stages of the AK started before the 44 was put into production

The design is kind of a big deal actually
