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 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!

How many people here have fathers or grandfathers who are 5' 6", 150-160 lbs and carrying the BAR? Starting to suspect bot posters in the comments.

[@rotwang2000]

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.

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.

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.

Could you imagine the body parts that were flying off during World War II. Especially when some of our troops held full auto at close range on the enemy. Most were dead before they hit the ground when they were hit with that round.

[@lanedexter6303]

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.

You’ll have to get the Bren gun on like the legend R.Lee ermey shot to compare the 2. British vs American made. Would love to see your thoughts on them both 👍🏻

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.

[@alexfaudel5245]

I know the BAR is amazing and all but can we just take a second to appreciate 30.06? The sheer power alone of that round is just ridiculous, and coming out of whats essentially an early SAW platform its simply insane. Certainly glad im not on the other end of that.

[@Chaos89P]

A lot of American, and at least one technically Canadian, rifles are chambered in .30-06. I think it's safe to say that there was plenty of interchangeability amongst American WWII infantry.

[@cavscout62]

Recoil mitigation on the BAR was so Awesome it’s always boggled my mind at the Pure Genius of John Browning. Personally I wouldn’t hesitate to carry the BAR on any deployment. Accuracy, kinetic energy and sheer intimidation factor make it a SAW For The Ages. Imagine a modern 30 round mag and every member of a squad carrying a few in addition to the Gunner and AG.🤘🏼

My dad landed DDay +1 with the 2nd Infantry Division. He fought thru France, Belgium, and into Germany. He carried a BAR. He was a big man but said it was a pain to lug around. He said the Germans would always try to knock out the BAR guy first in a firefight. The squad would try to open up with the other weapons first to mask the location of the BAR. 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.
