This is how people totally underestimate John Browning's fortune. Yes, we rightly recognize him as an exceptional genius firearms designer, but he still had the arduous task of making those designs real, and practical. There were many individuals whose names you don't ever hear when discussing Browning's success, but were instrumental in the transition from prototype to production (such as his brother, Jonathan Edmund Browning). Browning didn't always do that stuff himself, in fact he usually sold the patents as soon as he got a suitable offer, and let the buyer figure out the rest. In that way, Browning was extremely lucky to have had his designs worked on by so many other talented individuals.
