His next design, the Model 1917, US patent #678,937 was a recoil-powered automatic gun like the Maxims. It was called Model 1917 because in that year, on the verge of entering the war in Europe, the Army found itself completely lacking in modern automatic weapons. In February, 1917, Browning performed a demonstration at Congress Heights for the benefit of the press, members of Congress, and various foreign representatives. He brought the recoil operated gun he patented in 1901, and also a gas-operated automatic rifle, the BAR. Both weapons were successfully demonstrated, and began production shortly before the war's end. [4 Pulse] 689283 March 18, 1901 December 17, 1901 AUTOMATIC FIREARM
