Hace 4 días · light machine gun. Browning automatic rifle (BAR), automatic rifle produced in the United States starting in 1918 and widely used in other countries as a light machine gun. The BAR is a gas-operated rifle invented by John M. Browning (1855–1926), an American gun designer.
The BAR is a gas-operated, air-cooled, open-bolt, magazine-fed automatic rifle. Although often used as a light machine gun, it was not designed as such. It is not a submachine gun or an assault rifle. The shooter could not change its barrel, which meant that its capability to provide sustained automatic fire was limited.
The doctrine was established early in the war after U.S. Army ground forces encountered German troops with automatic weapons that included fast-firing portable machine guns. Some U.S. Army BAR gunners and nearly all of the Marine gunners in the Pacific Theater discarded the M1918A2’s bipod and flash hider to save weight and improve portability.
