John Moses Browning. He invented a lot of weapons and is the most important inventor of handguns and rifles ever lived.
- The browning pistol (patented FN (Belgium) and Colt). The firing mechanism served as a base for all modern pistols and is still used
- machineguns .30 and .50 (still used overall in the world)
- BAR (this is the first weapon that recuperated the gases of the cartridge to reload). Without its design no Sturmgewehr, FAL, AK45, ...
- Browning Auto-5 first recoil-operated autoloading shotgun
- Winchester Model 1887 (improved Winchester) : in fact the weapon shown in westerns are all Browning models not the model 1866 of O. Winchester.
- Hi_Power or GP pistol (finisted by the gifted belgian Saive Dieudonné due to the death of Browning). Saive invended after WWII the FN FAL, MAG).
Some remarks to others :
Gatling is not the forefather of the machine gun but the Maxim technology can be seen as the base of all existing machineguns.
Nobel made Dynamite not TNT (which is TriNitroToluene a "improved" kind of Dynamite invented by Joseph Wilbrand)

Gatling, the inventor of the Gatling gun (1860s). Although it wasn't used much in the Civil War, it did become a force on the Frontier and was the ancestor of the machine gun.
