@MavHunter20XX add a quick change barrel like the FN made type D BAR and it wouldn't be a bad weapon at all, though the whole magazine vs belt issue would weigh against it.
@luuk341 Just to ensure we're getting the correct information. BAR = Browning AUTOMATIC Rifle.
The word "assault" is derived from the German MP43. However anti-gun loonies have associated "assault" with every rifle they disagree with, sadly, the firearm community has run with it too no knowing it is the chant of the anti-gun movement.--> Assault is not a firearm, it is a type of behavior.<---
@nbenicewicz I am almost certain that the BAR has different firing settings where it can shoot more rapid and then another where it shoots slower for more control.
@WtFmAtE12244 I'm fully aware of the BAR's rate of fire selector and I've seen other videos of the BAR firing on the fast setting. This BAR seems to be shooting faster others that I've seen.
complain all you want about the magazine capacity, at the time period nothing made heads get down faster, the only weapons that held more ammo at the time( aside from full size heavy machine guns ) were sub machine guns, which did not have the range, accuracy, or sheer ball busting firepower that a 30-06 bullet has.
the bar is bassically a light machine gun or squad automatic machine gun. the only problem they had with the bar is the barrel could overheat and burst if it was not allowed to cool down after extensive fire. it is a good machine gun. orginally designed to clear out trenches.
@LoneWolf051, Indeed just wasn't enough to completely suppress and enemy for a good period of time, once those 20 bullets were out the enemy would get right back up and shootn
No, they wouldnt just get right back up, they'd be shitting themselves, not to mention they didnt know if there was another gunner or rifleman waiting for them, they'd typically be completely demotivated and scared from the experience they'd either crawl to another position, (if there was any), or stay down for a few seconds, trying to regain they're composure and recover from the shock.
@LoneWolf051, True but the enemy would adapt to the fire, not all soldiers will get suppressed some will go on their own choice and when they hear the shooting stop end up advancing still, But the BAR did suppress enemys for a certain amount of time, iw ont lie.
True but german soldiers and alot of soldiers were trained on how to handle a machine gun nest, depending on its defenses such as a bunker, riflemen, cover it would have likely if the cover was low and not many riflemen nearbye been destroyed :(
Thats right, and German weapons were mainly designed to be defensive in nature, while Allied weapons were designed with mobility in mind, such as light machine guns.
Well, German weapons weren't mainly made for defensive type natures, They were made light and easy tyo carry Mg-34 and 42 a good example so they could advance or retreat, Blitzkrieg is a good example of the weapons being used in a very offensive way
No, Automatic Rifles and Light Machineguns are very different, LMGs are designed for long range belt fed, crew served weapons, like the M1919. Automatic Rifles on the other hand are designed for use by one man, and carried less ammo than an LMG, but was far lighter and mobile to be up front with the infantry squad.
Is that an A1?

It isn't designed to clear out trenches. They were used for covering fire. The Thompson (or tommygun) was used for clearing trenches.

The other problem it had was that it only had 20 rounds of rock and roll before you had to reload :)

If fired in short accurate bursts, 20 rounds is more than enough to kill or suppress the enemy.

And by then the assault team would have shredded them from the flanks, or perform suppresing fire while moving to the flanks
