	Browning Automatic Rifle
		Unlike earlier models, it could only be fired in two automatic modes--slow (300 to 450 rpm) or fast (500 to 650 rpm)--but not in semiautomatic mode.
		The BAR was a popular weapon in WWII and Korea, because it was very reliable and offered an excellent combination of rapid fire and penetrating power.
		The BAR's only serious drawbacks were its lack of a quick-change barrel (to reduce the chance of overheating), and its weight (BAR, with bipod and a loaded bandoleer, came to about 40 pounds).

	Modern Firearms - Browning BAR M1918 Machinegun
		Browning BAR M1918A1, with its spiked bipod and hinged buttplate
		Initially it was just like that - the Automatic Rifle, a selective fire weapon, intended for use by infantry men to fire from the shoulder or from the hip when advancing onto the enemy positions, and to provide mobile firepower to every squad, since the standard machine guns were heavy and much less maneuverable.
		But the BAR M1918 was way too heavy for a shoulder fired weapon, being more that 2 times heavier than a bolt-action Springfield M1903 rifle and exactly 2 times heavier than a latter M1 Garand semiautomatic rifle.

	THE ENERGIZER RIFLE: M-14 Sniper Rifle
		Unlike other internal-magazine service rifles of the period -- which could be reloaded with rounds still in the magazine -- the M1's internal 8-round clip could not be reloaded until the 8th and final round was fired and the empty clip ejected.
		Both rifles trace their roots to the Remington 700 bolt-action system, with the only significant difference being that the Army's rifle incorporates a "long" bolt, whereas the M40 uses a "short" bolt design.
		Though not as consistent as either of the current bolt action rifles, the M25 is nonetheless very accurate out to 500 yards and has the advantage of not only carrying 4 times the ammunition of either of the bolt-action rifles, but has much faster multiple shot times.
