Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR)

The Browning Automatic Rifle or BAR was America's primary infantry support weapon during both World Wars. Originally developed to give infantry mobile fire support during World War I, a reduction in the military after the war meant that a new weapon was not developed before World War II. Infantry squads were equipped with a BAR to provide extra firepower.
