The Browning automatic rifle was originally designed by John Browning in 1917, to meet the requirements of the American Army during the 1914-1918 war. For this purpose it was mass-produced by the Colt Company in America, and used by the U. S. Armed Forces during the first world war and also in the second. John M. Browning had for several years worked in Liege in close collaboration with Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre, and during this time had perfected many inventions. It was, therefore, natural that the Browning automatic machine rifle patents should be entrusted to them for manufacture. During the period between the two wars F. N. introduced several modifications and improvements. These culminated in the “Type 30“, made to the requirements of the Belgian Government, and incorporated a gas regulator and a slowing-up device to be used to reduce the rate of fire, when required. Fabrique Nationale have now put on the market the present Model 'D', which embodies the experience gained during the last war, and the technical advantages of modern steels and methods of production . The main features of the original design are still maintained, but in the new model the barrel has been made removable, and it is possible to take out the breech-block mechanism without complete stripping. Its lightweight, accuracy, and speed into action, combined with its robustness and simplicity, make the Browning automatic rifle suitable for use in the field both as an automatic rifle and as a light machine gun.
