The World's 50 Most Popular Guns

The world’s first guns began appearing on battlefields in 14th century China. In the following years, these “hand cannons” began to spread westward. Within a century or so, Europeans developed the matchlock, which was the very first gun that could be fired mechanically. In order to find the world’s 50 most popular guns, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed a variety of sources to get estimates of global gun sales. We ranked guns by sales, which are high estimates of production. The origin of each gun is the historic country of origin, where the gun was first created. Different models of the same gun released in different years are included in the gun sales estimates. As of 2017, there were more than 1 billion firearms in the world, owned mostly by civilians, according to the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey. But that figure can be misleading. Over a third of all guns, an estimated 393 million, are in the United States, making the country the most armed population on the planet by a very long shot. As such a global outlier, it should be no surprise that nearly half of the 50 most popular guns of all time originated in the U.S. — from the iconic Winchester lever-action rifle of the Wild West to the modern AR-15. (These are the most common guns in the U.S. Army.) Seven of the of the most popular gun models of all time are Russian, including the Soviet-era simple and durable Marakov semi-automatic pistol, and the AK-47 assault rifle, which, along with its many derivatives and knockoffs, is the most popular gun model ever made with a total production run of about 150 million units since its inception in 1946. Many of the other most popular guns of all time originated in Europe. Other guns that make this list have their origins in China, Japan, and Israel. Out of the 50 most popular guns of all time, only the Glock semiautomatic pistol and Mossberg pump-action shotgun are current best-sellers in their category, according to GunGenius.com based on 2021 U.S. new gun sales data from GunBroker.com. Some models on the list don’t exist anymore, such as the French and British muskets of the colonial period and many of the guns used and mass produced during the world wars. Thirteen of these firearm models may have sold as many as 10 million units or more. (Guns are among the weapons nations are sending Ukraine as it defends against Russia’s invading army.

What is the 1 of bacteria that can't be killed?

The 0.1% that are not killed are most likely those individual bacteria which have resistance to the antibacterial agents in the cleaner. Because they are not killed, they survive and could multiply into a whole population of bacteria which are resistant to that chemical.

SPECULATIVE SCIENCE

Advertisements for many bleaches and disinfectants claim they "kill 99.9% of all known germs." Which known germs comprise the 0.1% not killed? Sue Grant, London, UK It's something said to cover the manufacturers'mbacks. When you try to sue them because you used their product and then got horribly ill, they will probably win the case because they can say that they never claimed to disinfect absolutely everything. Simon Gilman, Edmonton, UK The clever ones. Which means we have to watch them ... Fiona Pymont, Manchester , UK I would suggest that the claim 'kills 99.9% of all known germs' is the product of legal advice rather than scientific research. Simon, Slough, UK It will not be whole species of germs that survive, but rather individual specimens of all species. No product can kill every single specimen without causing unacceptable side effects. A flame thrower would do the trick, but not improve the look of your bathroom. Manufacturers have to cover themselves by claiming less than 100% efficacy. The small number of bacteria left will be too few to harm you, although if left they will soon breed up to numbers which can be harmful again, hence the need to keep cleaning. Susan Deal, Sheffield UK The 0.1% that are not killed are most likely those individual bacteria which have resistance to the antibacterial agents in the cleaner. Because they are not killed, they survive and could multiply into a whole population of bacteria which are resistant to that chemical. This is also the way in which antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria arise. Joshua Azizollah, Potters Bar, Hertfordshire
