GreasyDogMeat Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 That is why some soldiers didn't like the BAR. As a support weapon it would chew through a single clip of ammo very quickly. At 19lbs, plus the weight of the ammo clips, which were almost a pound a peice, it was also a very heavy gun to lug around. Its deffinitly not something you would want to be on the other end of though. Some of the old 20s and 30s gangsters liked them because the BAR punched straight through police vehicles.

Sand Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) The CIWIS gun mount on board my ship could fire 3000 to 4500 depleted uranium rounds a minute.

Kroney Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) When playing Medal of Honour, I always preferred the Thompson. The BAR only had a 20 round clip so you were forever reloading it and getting plugged by Nazis. I work on cars in my spare time, which is a reasonably macho thing to do.

213374U Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Heh. I remember reading somewhere about assault rifles being stripped of some parts in order to make them semi auto only so they complied with some regulations for civilian use and stuff. So, you could own (and operate) an M2 Browning no problem? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

I remember reading somewhere about assault rifles being stripped of some parts in order to make them semi auto only so they complied with some regulations for civilian use and stuff. According to the ATF, that's not acceptable. If it was ever a machinegun, it's always a machinegun. So, you could own (and operate) an M2 Browning no problem? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> About as easy as it was for me to get this baby, yes. The current law is that if a weapon is full auto (or its a short barreled weapon) and you want to buy it, you have to deal with the seller, fill out a Class III form, get fingerprinted, get permission from the local police, pay a $200 tax, and wait a few months for the ATF to process it. When you get it back you can finally go pick up your machinegun. The only other obstacle is the fact that as of 1986 it's illegal to produce machineguns, so the ones still around that can be legally sold command thousands of dollars more than they're actually worth. Legal machineguns like the M2 Browning you mentioned are really about as obtainable "no problem" as a new Ferrari 360 Modena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I think I'm going to have to post a picture of my father's .50 caliber gun.. I hope he still has it. It looks grotesque and every time you fire it, you end up staring into the blue, wondering what the hell happened. Don't even think about firing two consecutive shots with it.
