The Browning automatic rifle (BAR) is a family of American automatic rifles and machine guns used by the United States and numerous other countries during the 20th century.

The Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) was a group of American automatic rifles and light machine guns. It was used by the United States and several other countries. The most-used type of BAR was the M1918. It was designed by John Browning in 1917. It was supposed to replace the French Chauchat and the M1909 Benet-Mercie machine guns.

2019年5月29日 · The BAR became the standard-issue Light Machine Gun (LMG) of American infantry outfits by the time of World War 2 (1939-1945). Marine units were also issued the type but favored the original's single-shot functionality and, therefore, reverted their actions back to the single / full modes of fire.

2018年1月16日 · The BAR gets a lot of criticism as a poor performer in the "light machine gun" role when it was never intended to take the place of light machine guns per U.S. Army doctrine, although subjective criticisms of the weapon in the role it was placed do exist.

The Browning Automatic Rifle was developed by American firearms prodigy John Browning in 1917 and adopted within months. It was an open-bolt, gas operated design that used a toggle link locking into the distinctive humpback in the top of the receiver.

Introduced in 1932 by Fabrique Nationale (with whom Browning had collaborated extensively prior to his death in 1926), the FN-D had a number of significant improvements over the standard BAR. It used a pistol grip instead of a traditional stock, a shorter quick-change barrel, improved rate-reducing mechanism, and simplified disassembly procedure.
