Gun Review: Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR)John Moses Browning was a genius — which is kinda like saying water is wet or snow is cold. Watch Snowpiercer HIGH Quality Definitons on this page. It’s so blindingly self- evident, it really doesn’t need to be said.

The operating mechanisms of his designs were revolutionary in their time, and continue to be used in modern firearm design today. Some of his masterworks continue unchanged (like the 1. The Browning Automatic Rifle is one of those quintessential Browning designs that not only proved to be indispensable to soldiers in its day, but whose operating components would go on to form the basis for the main battle rifles still in use by some European countries in the 2. OK, so on with a little history lesson .

With World War I in full swing, the need for a lightweight, man- portable machine gun was becoming more and more critical. Browning had already designed one of the primary machine guns being used by the U. S. and allied forces (specifically, the M1. Colt- Browning “Potato Digger”), but even that chunky, awkward tripod- mounted monstrosity was a svelte Swedish supermodel compared to the Vickers and Maxim machine guns that were the staple of the French trenches. Machine guns were considered to be in the same category as a mortar crew or artillery battery, namely a fixed asset that was placed on the battlefield and then never moved.

But when one attack after another broke through the enemy lines and then failed to hold the ground, they gained due to a lack of firepower, the generals decided that they needed a machine gun that could move with the troops as they advanced. The Maxim gun weighed close to 6. It wasn’t going anywhere anytime fast, and generals needed something better. To that end, John Browning came up with two designs. The first was an air- cooled heavy machine gun, revolutionary in that it didn’t require a heavy water jacket and a constant stream of cold water to keep it functioning — the volume of water required for such a gun bogged down MG crews of the day. The second design was the 1. Browning Automatic Rifle, a select fire rifle capable of being carried by a single soldier and deployed at a moment’s notice.

It was the first firearm to fit the traditional definition of an “assault rifle.”When Browning wanted to show his new designs off to the government, he organized a live fire demonstration in the heart of Washington, D. C. one cold February morning and invited congressmen and Army officials to witness his new machines. They were so impressed with the designs that Browning was awarded a contract to produce the guns for the military on the spot. While other guns like the Thompson SMG would be introduced too late in the war to be distributed on the front lines, the Browning Automatic Rifle (officially designated the “Rifle, Caliber .

Automatic, Browning, M1. American trenches but was credited as being a pivotal piece of equipment in one of the last battles of the war. Not only did it help the Allies, but one of the rifles was issued to John Browning’s son Val who was serving in the American infantry in France and demonstrated its abilities in action. The rifle impressed the troops and officers on the ground as much – if not more than – the politicians on that cold February morning, and the BAR was here to stay.

Between the wars, the BAR was sold to civilians and law enforcement alike. However, unlike the Thompson SMG it wasn’t used in significant quantities by mobsters and so never truly gained the same notoriety that its smaller cousin achieved. While the BAR wasn’t in service long enough to make a significant dent in the Great War, it was downright pervasive in the big one. The Browning Automatic Rifle was issued as a squad level machine gun, meaning that small units now had the ability to form an effective base of fire while maneuvering and attacking the enemy. It gave the soldiers of WWII an advantage that they desperately needed in the previous war, and proved to be an extremely effective firearm.

The BAR was so effective that it was still in active use when the Vietnam war heated up. The eventual downfall of the BAR was its weight and cartridge choice. JMB chose the . 3. Springfield cartridge for his gun because that was the primary caliber of choice for the U.

S. soldiers in their M1. Springfield rifles. Ammunition compatibility between the squad level guns meant that soldiers in the field could share ammo between each other when supplies started running low.

But while the . 3. The largest magazine issued to the BAR crews was a 3. Twenty- round magazines the size of waffles were the standard loadout, and the small capacity magazine combined with the heavy ammunition was just too much to carry. In addition, in order to fire that heavy and powerful ammunition, the gun needed to be over- engineered to take the strain of full- auto . That over- engineering led to a rifle that’s extremely overweight by today’s standards. Sometime during the Vietnam War, the BAR was quietly replaced by the M6.

And the M6. 0 was eventually replaced by the M2. M2. 49 series of squad- level machine guns. But for nearly 5. BAR reigned supreme on the battlefield.

And when you pick one up, you understand why. Thanks to Kevin Brittingham, I had a chance to spend some quality time with a M1. A2 Browning Automatic Rifle recently. This improved version featured a bipod and a hinged buttplate as well as two rates of automatic fire to make the gun more manageable in full- auto mode and was in service starting around 1.

The first thing you notice about the rifle is how goddamned big and heavy the thing is. The BAR is not a small object. The barrel on the rifle is a good 2. All told, it’s damn near as big as my friend here. From simply toting it around a firing range for an hour, I have absolutely no idea how my forefathers lugged this thing across Europe.

While the gun is chunky, the weight also renders the recoil very manageable and makes the thing nearly indestructible. The gun was manufactured with the idea that it would see some heavy usage, and as a result the over- engineered parts of the gun are MASSIVE. The trigger alone on this gun is even chunkier than the bangswitch on SCAR rifles. While the gun is big, the ergonomics are excellent. The carrying handle is perfectly placed such that the gun is balanced in the operator’s hand when being carried.

And when in the firing position, the BAR handles like any other rifle of the time. The stock is perfectly shaped to give the shooter a good cheek weld and the handguard features a comfortable curve to fit your palm. The only ergonomic gripe I have about the gun is that the hinged buttplate doesn’t really work very well, but it doesn’t seem like very many people actually used it and the gun works just fine without it. The bipod, however, is another story. This piece of kit comes from a time when bipods were still a new idea and it shows.

Instead of the spring- loaded contraptions we have these days, the BAR’s bipod is deployed by fiddling with a series of wingnuts. It ain’t quick, and it definitely isn’t pretty.

Still, it works. Among the interesting features introduced on the firearm is the inclusion of a non- reciprocating charging handle, something other makers still haven’t quite grasped a century later. The charging handle also features a nicely curved knob, but it doesn’t give the shooter quite enough to hold onto in my opinion. During our session, we had a situation where I fired a burst and the gun jammed slightly out of battery with a round in the chamber. We tried the usual tricks, namely bashing the butt of the gun on the ground while pulling the handle, but there wasn’t enough to grab in order to get the leverage we needed.

Eventually a screwdriver was employed to remove the malformed round (lovely Israeli surplus stuff, slightly corroded), but it showed a weakness in the design that could be deadly on the battlefield. While we’re on this side of the gun, there are two more things I’d like to point out.
