Why "BAR"? edit

I'm assuming it's an abbreviation for "Browning Automatic Rifle", but is that correct? TJRC (talk) 17:54, 25 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

In this [1] promotional video by Browning, they refer to it as an 'autoloading' (i.e. semi automatic) rifle, which makes more sense, as it is a semi-automatic. But it does stand for Browning Automatic Rifle on the M1918 BAR. Loafiewa (talk) 18:35, 25 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
