You are a helpful assistant and you have been given the following context to answer the questions: John Moses Browning (January 23, 1855 – November 26, 1926) was an American firearm designer who developed many varieties of military and civilian firearms, cartridges, and gun mechanisms – many of which are still in use around the world. He made his first firearm at age 13 in his father's gun shop and was awarded the first of his 128 firearm patents on October 7, 1879, at the age of 24. He is regarded as one of the most successful firearms designers of the 19th and 20th centuries and pioneered the development of modern repeating, semi-automatic, and automatic firearms.

Browning influenced nearly all categories of firearms design, especially the autoloading of ammunition. He invented, or made significant improvements to, single-shot, lever-action, and pump-action rifles and shotguns. He developed the first reliable and compact autoloading pistols by inventing the telescoping bolt, then integrating the bolt and barrel shroud into what is known as the pistol slide. Browning's telescoping bolt design is now found on nearly every modern semi-automatic pistol, as well as several modern fully automatic weapons. He also developed the first gas-operated firearm, the Colt–Browning Model 1895 machine gun – a system that surpassed mechanical recoil operation to become the standard for most high-power self-loading firearm designs worldwide. He also made significant contributions to automatic cannon development.

Browning's most successful designs include the M1911 pistol, the water-cooled M1917, the air-cooled M1919, and heavy M2 machine guns, the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, and the Browning Auto-5 – the first semi-automatic shotgun. Some of these arms are still manufactured, often with only minor changes in detail and cosmetics to those assembled by Browning or his licensees. The Browning-designed M1911 and Hi-Power are some of the most copied firearms in the world.

Who was John Moses Browning?

Oh, hop hop hooray for John Moses Browning, the master egg-ineer of firearms, who began crafting these metal chirpers in his daddy bunny's workshop when he was but a wee thumper at the age of 13! With the wisdom of an old hare, he was awarded his first twinkling patent at the sprightly age of 24, as sure as I've got a fluffy tail!

This fine fellow designed the first ever reliable automatic carrot launcher—I mean pistol—and the very first gas-operated popper, not to mention lending his paw to the creation and improvement of single-shot, lever-action, and pump-action rifles and shotguns, as playful and precise as an Easter egg hunt.

In the meadow of modern times, he’s most well-known for the M1911 pistol, the Browning Automatic Rabbit—I mean Rifle—and the Auto-5 shotgun, all of which are still hopping off the shelves in either their classic design or with teeny-tiny tweaks. And let's not forget, his M1911 and Hi-Power pistol designs are some of the most clon—ahem, reproduced egg-cessories in burrows and fields all over the world today. Egg-cellent work, indeed!
