John Moses Browning (01/23/1855-11/26/1926), one of the most prolific and successful firearms designers in history, with over 126 firearms-related patents to his name. He designed more weapons still in production today than any other firearms designer of his time. Responsible for the Browning Automatic Rifle (favorite weapon of both Clyde Barrow of Bonnie & Clyde fame and Frank Hamer, the Texas Ranger who took Clyde down), the Browning M2 heavy machine gun (still on active duty with the US Army), the Browning Hi-Power automatic pistol (still in production through Fabrique National of Belgium), the Colt M1911 A1 ACP autopistol that used his slide operation (still in production by Springfield Armory, and up until a couple of years ago the Winchester Model 1894 lever-action rifle.
John M. Browning's excellence in weapons design is proven by the fact that his weapons are still in production a hundred years after they were first introduced.

Get the Browning mug.Something that, after viewing V for Vendetta, one may be inclined to talk about doing. Usually said person has no real political agenda, they just thought the movie scene was badass and would enjoy partaking in an equally cinematic experience. Though one may talk about blowing up Parliment, or even amass a group of people to do so, it is unlikely they will ever carry out their plans for fear of life in jail.
Tim saw V for Vendetta, and for a few days, he seemed preoccupied with the idea of blowing up Parliment. Upon eventually realizing that this action would not be as badass as in the movie and that it would ruin his life, Tim stopped recruiting people to fly to London and purchase C4 from the black market.
