"Ten Firearms That Shaped Our Nation"

Ho hum, they are gonna pick 10 models and give a little history lesson about those models.  I've seen this countless times.

Nope, they picked 10 individual firearms wielded by a specific person.  Like, not the 1911, but Alvin York's 1911.  Abraham Lincoln's Henry rifle.  Captain John Parker's musket.  Walker's Walkers.  That sort of thing.  Ok, that's much more interesting, and I appreciated this much more.   Nice.
