Although machine guns are hardly in the world of rifle accuracy, this story about John Browning's machine guns was too good to ignore. Written by Captain Ned Crossman, one of the top gun writers of the era, it sheds a bit of light onto Browning's obscure existence at the height of his powers. We recognize his genius today, but at that time, he was little known outside of gun manufacturing circles. This article from Popular Science magazine helped to bring Browning his well deserved recognition by a broader public.

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.
