The Browning Auto-5—commonly referred to as the A-5—is a landmark in firearms history and widely recognized as the world’s first truly successful semi-automatic shotgun. Designed by the legendary John Moses Browning and introduced in 1905, the Auto-5 revolutionized shotgun technology and set a performance standard that would endure for nearly a century. Produced continuously until 1998, its innovative long-recoil operating system and unique design earned it a reputation for rugged reliability and functional elegance. One of its most distinctive features was the iconic “humpback” receiver—a raised rear contour that gave the A-5 its unmistakable silhouette. This design was not merely aesthetic; it extended the sighting plane, making target acquisition more intuitive and improving shooting accuracy. The Auto-5 was primarily manufactured in Belgium by Fabrique Nationale (FN)
