THis weapon was used throughout the civil war and was very popular. Almost everyone in the military favored that as a sidearm. I've looked and could not find who was the creator of the sidearm. http://www.lrpstore.com/DENIX-Colt-Army-Revolver-1860-Black-&-Brass/p--1119/

This sidearm was a blowback-operated, semi-automatic pistol designed by John M. Browning in 1910. Even though the colt manufacturing company didn't want to produce them Browning went out took the design from Europe and started to produce them. He had immense popularity in Europe due to this model. "The Browning 1910 is also world-renowned for being the firearm used by Gavrilo Princip to assassinate the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo during 1914, provoking the onset of World War I."

This weapon is 1st, one of the first automatic guns I'm talking about. It was used at the end of ww1 and was a definitely one dangerous gun. It has a 75 round burst before the weapon turn to dangerous temperatures and to stop shooting for a certain period of time. Then over a period of time they decided to change the barrel size to suppress all the heat. It worked out well and was then very helpful when it was able to mount on vehicles and aircrafts. http://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/det

This was a huge improvement from the AR-15 weapon. They need a weapon with the same carbine damage but mobility for close combat. That's where the colt commando came into the picture. This was just a more mobile weapon and was considered a submachine gun. http://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=39

It was based off a gameknown as the model 500 hundred. It had a shield for the heat not to burn your hands. To reload was also much easier than any other gun before its time. This was the most recommended gun for close quarter combat. http://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=71
