You left out a few - the Model 1885 falling block rifle, the 1900 Browning automatic pistol, the 1886 Winchester, the Browning Superposed shotgun, the Ithaca Model 37 pump shotgun, the Remington Model 8 semiauto rifle, the Browning 20mm cannon, and of course, his favorite - the .22 semiautomatic rifle.
I'm sure that there are many, many more.

One not mentioned is one of my antiques: the Baby Browning. A nasty little thing in .25 ACP. I do not like shooting the thing, but it was a gift to my wife from her father and she cannot shoot it.

Quite right. The list of Browning's designs surpasses both our lists! A couple more examples: his M1903 and M1805 pistols were very popular and there were many more successes.
The biggest gun that Browning designed was the M4 (later M9) 37mm cannon. The M4 and M9 were installed on P-39 fighters ans the M9 on WW2 PT boats.

If you look at the safety lever on the Kalashnikov, you will see an heir to the Auto 5.

I used to be the proud owner of several pieces designed by Mr. Browning. They included three model 37 Ithaca shotguns, two 1911’s, a Browning Superposed shotgun, a model 11 Remington shotgun and two Browning High Power pistols. Unfortunately, they were all lost in a tragic boating accident on 7 November, 2012.
