The Browning Auto-5, commonly referred to as the \"Humpback\" due to its distinctive receiver shape, was designed by John Moses Browning and was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun.

FN Herstal, located in Belgium, manufactured these shotguns under Browning‚‚s supervision, ensuring high standards of quality and precision.
The \"Special Steel\" designation refers to the high-grade steel used in the barrel, which was designed to handle a variety of shotgun loads, including the then-new smokeless powder shells. This made the shotgun both versatile and durable, capable of being used in a wide range of shooting activities from hunting to competitive shooting.
