Two legendary warriors. Two opposite weapons. One question: What do you trust when your life is on the line?
In 1898, Winston Churchill charged into 2,600 Dervish warriors with a German Mauser C96. In 1916, George Patton raided a Mexican ranch with an American Colt revolver. Both survived. Both changed history.
But why did Churchill embrace cutting-edge European technology while Patton rejected it for "obsolete" American craftsmanship?
This isn't about guns. It's about philosophy—and the choices that shaped two of history's greatest leaders.
