Thats an interesting post. I would disagree with one part. I dont think you can call the BAR a LMG, for the reason you stated its low ammo capacity. A LMG has to be capable of sustained fire and 20 rounds isnt enough. Also the US Army had a true LMG, the Browning .30. The other reason was the BAR had a reletively low ROF compared to say the Browning, Bren or Mg.42. I had never heard of a BAR being used as a sniper rifle, it had no telescopic sight. I tend to think the role of the BAR is of a infantry support weapon. To increase the firepower of a rifle squad in certain situations such as a Bazooka, flametrower, or LMG would. |
