Comments by "WALTERBROADDUS" (@WALTERBROADDUS) on "John Browning vs Hiram Maxim: Patent Fight!" video.
John Browning maybe the best Mechanical Engineer who never attended a Engineering School. Just think how complex it's to design a gun from scratch? No computer. No auto CAD. Just paper, pen and a slide rule. Then the idea of gas operation? Guns had been used for 500 years. And nobody had used gas power to do work outside of steam. Yet, he is only given the title, gunmaker...

Just keep in timeline. Just the idea of a armed airplane was new in 1914.

Yeah, but this staring from scratch. And using1890's technology. As trial and error goes on, you refine the idea. It took 400 years to get repeating firearms that far.

That would be too distracting to the eye. You still have to aim.
