Gun making ran in the family of John Moses Browning, as his father was a gunsmith. As a young boy, he spent his time in his father's workshop and knew the name of every part of a gun before he could read. At the age of 23, John Moses lodged his first patent, for the "J.M. Browning Single Shot Rifle". Over the years, Browning granted licenses to several manufacturers for dozens of inventions and firearms developed by him. It's no exaggeration to say that he invented everything in the field of firearms. What is more, it should be noted that the vast majority of his technological innovations have not been able to be bettered or replaced since the beginning of this century, a clear demonstration of the level of perfection achieved.

Umarex USA is proud to have earned Browning's trust in producing its first pellet pistol, the Browning 800 Mag Air Gun.
