    My father was an infantryman in the 6th Div 20th Regiment in South Pacific during WWII. Being older than most, larger, and an experienced marksman, he was assigned to carry the B.A.R. That made him a very important target for the Japanese, and he finally fell to a sniper's round during the invasion to take back the Philippines. Ever since I was old enough to understand something about firearms, the B.A.R. has held my fascination and awe. Thanks for this video, loved your enthusiasm and humor.

    My dad was in Airborne 3/508 "red devils" and was known for being a very fast reloader with the BAR. So all the top brass came out to watch him on the range one day. He finished all his mags and stood up and turned around not knowing all these people were watching him. The weapon was still in the low ready position. All those high ranks watching him immediately dove for cover. He just laughed. I hunted with him for many years and yeah his barrel discipline was not the greatest. Had to crouch a few times and tell others to keep an eye on his gun.

    My Father carried a BAR in Patton's army as they rampaged across France; all the way from Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge. He was wounded in a mortar attack, the only survivor of his squad. He was only 5' 6", ~160, picture him humping that 20 pound BAR all the way! At least he had an ammo bearer to help keep the BAR fed. He said that volunteering to carry it was the worst decision of his army days. The first time I picked one up I wondered how the hell he did it, plus, the guy with the squad automatic weapon was always in the thick of the fight. All those soldiers in WWII were amazing, as are all of our Veterans!

      That's why I always find people trying to get rid of any ounce for their EDC a bit ironic. Until only a few decades ago people didn't just carry full size guns, but they did it wearing woolen clothing in summer with a tie and hat, shaved every day and didn't think their model 19 or 1911 was too heavy to be a good carry. And if you figure in how scrawny some people were during the Civil War and earlier ... Just look at images of people doing back breaking labor in the third world, they are often small, scrawny people and yet they will carry a load to the market on foot over distances that would completely exhaust even very strong and fit people in the West.

      .30-06 has roughly 50% more velocity than .700 nitro express. The .30-06 is one of the first modern Rifle cartridges that focuses more on Velocity and Ballistic Coefficient than sheer knockdown power, and the performance speaks for itself.

    My father carried one in Italy in WW2. He was 5'6" max. He said they took the bipods of as they were not really useful and added a lot of weight to the barrel. (who wants to undo wingnuts to deploy your bi-pod and retighten them before you move) He said when you would run with the bipod down it would invariably start to spin like a propeller in a most ungainly way. Guys would also weld 2 mag bodies together to make 30ish round mags but he did not use them because "I wanted my gun to work." In his unit at lease, all the BAR gunners used black tip AP exclusively and never tracers. If you shot your entire complement of mags in rapid succession, the gun was "used up". It his experience, there were 2 ways it was used. As an infantry rifle, firing singles to not draw all the fire, and wide open to suppress the enemy for movement or to break contact. He said it had good sights and was very accurate as a rifle but on for the first shot of a burst.

      Honestly while I agree, you won't really see it in the BAR itself. The 1911? Sure. The FN 1900? Yeah ok. The Auto 5? Hell yes. But the BAR is a fine example of only being able to have it two of three ways, and frankly the A2 is just a joke of a gun, and I'd recommend looking at C&Rsenal's video on the BAR (WWI version at least) to really get an idea on it's development and original purpose.

And no, he didn't try to bring the thing home. After he was mustered out, he hardly ever fired another weapon again. He saw terrible things and wanted to live in peace.

      Ok this isn't irl but in every WW2 video game I play that includes the two automatic fire modes, I LOVE the slow one. I just let that thing chunk away with every round on target.

    You know, Scott, there is this thing called hydro dipping. It’s where you make a design out of what’s essentially vinyl if I’m correct, stretch it, put it on water, and then dip whatever it is you want to have camo. So you could make a Kentucky ballistics camo for your guns if you wanted to.

  • @ryanellis5902

    Gotta love the BAR! It was a particular favorite of Clyde Barrow, who used it to devastating effect on several occasions.. He was actually known to cut the barrel off just before the end of the gas tube to shorten the overall length of the rifle. That way, it could be more easily used from inside a vehicle.

    Dude! This might be the most that I have laughed while watching someone shooting a firearm ever.
    It kinda reminds me of the comedian from the 70's, Gallagher, when he would tell jokes all while showering the audience with bits and pieces of fruits and vegetables.
    You're something kinda like that (at least I laughed about as hard) as I did watching him. Keep up the good work!

  • @adamzaidi1748

    I think the "BAR" should be called "The Browning Almighty Rifle" because Almighty is exactly what it is. Absolute devastation! One of my all-time favorite firearms. Such a fun and exciting video! Thank you for sharing with us Scott! Keep up the great work!

    When Scott finishes filming, I’ll bet crows, ravens, critters and bugs really chow down. My old gun show buddy (died in ‘06) toured the Pacific with 6th Marines. He tried carrying the BAR on patrol on Okinawa and didn’t mind the big gun, but the ammo belt nearly killed him! He ended up preferring a Thompson in the jungle.

    I’ve been trying to get one of those beasts for years now. It just hasn’t worked out. Either finances or availability. It’s all about the timing. One of my favorite WW2 systems. Another great video man! You might have the best job on earth. Your channel has come a lone way since the pine board days. Although I do miss them.
