This is the Old BAR. This is what was carried in European and the Pacific Theaters of World War 2. The BAR was used as a SAW, and was reliable, accurate, and a favorite of the troops.
This is the New BAR. Although no longer included in the Militaries Armory, it could be! It fires a bigger round than the current SAW (or Squad Automatic Weapon) and is more accurate. What's best is, Browning offers the BAR in FOUR calibers, so there is a little something for everybody!

Mike,..my nephew is in the USMC (like his jar-head uncle).
Anyway, he leads a team using the new SAW - called an M240-Gulf.
If you ever get a pic of that, I'd appreciate it.
