I recently watched a series on Amazon Prime called American Guns. It started at the beginning of the Europeans coming to the continent. From the old blunderbuss. The British "Brown Bess" was a standard for a very long time. It was fascinating how so many Americans had Eureka moments, and invented a new way of doing things. The many new patents and new gun companies.
How the Colt company went to the Worlds fair in Europe, brought 5 working guns. Took all of them completely apart, mixed up the parts in bags and had 5 different people assemble a gun from those mixed up parts and made 5 working guns.
It goes along to the modern era. Interesting series.
