Speaking of Browning, I watched a documentary on his life a few years back (on KUED?) and the guy was a genius. Many of his original designs are still in use.
Anyway, he came up with a design for a gun that immediately went into production by Colt or some other gun company and then he was called on a mission. As a missionary he was in a store one day and they were selling "his" gun. He picked it up and in the course of the conversation mentioned to the storekeeper that he had designed the gun prior to his mission. The storekeeper just laughed. He shrugged his shoulders and left.
