Jim Moriarty: [Enters through a side door] I gave you my number. I tho — Browning (firearms)

"The Emperor, on the 4th day of February, has deigned to issue the following orders:"

"Well, it goes jolly quickly, Mrs Müller, terribly quickly. Id buy a Browning for a job like that. It looks like a toy, but in a couple of minutes you can shoot twenty archdukes with it, never mind whether theyre thin or fat."

"For a man of society, even for a civilian, a small Browning was as obligatory and as useless an accessory to his toilet as a tie or a cane."

"Whenever I hear of culture, I reach for my Browning!"

"...43-year-old Thomas Hamilton entered the Dunblane Primary School in Scotland at 9:35 a.m. on March 13, 1996, using Browning pistols and Smith & Wesson revolvers to kill 15 children and their teacher.... w:Parliament responded with sweeping new bans.... The national outcry after the Dunblane shooting in 1996, however, sparked a far more sweeping ban. In the 1997 Firearms Act, private citizens were virtually barred from owning most types of handguns."

"Nesterenko scratched his eyebrow thoughtfully and gave a grunt of annoyance: “Well, it can’t be helped, I’ll have to give away a very valuable thing. Now we’re bound ourselves in friendship, you’d better take this little toy as a present. It may come in useful. Nagulnov has been shot at, and you’d better look out, too, or things may go badly ”"
