M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR)
1/16 scale
Although the weapon did see some action in WW1, the BAR did not become standard issue in the U.S. Army. until 1938 when it was issued to squads as a portable light machine gun. The BAR saw extensive service in both WW2 and the Korean war and saw some service early in the Vietnam War. The U.S. Army began phasing out the BAR in the late 1950s and was without a portable light machine gun until the introduction of the M249 Automatic Weapon in the mid-1980s.
The BAR was designed to be carried by advancing infantrymen, slung over the shoulder or fired from the hip, a concept called 'walking fire', thought to be necessary for the individual soldier during trench warfare. However in practice, it was most often used as a light machine gun and fired from a bipod
