I wouldn’t include the Browning BAR. While it was a great LMG by WW1 standards, it was outclassed by later LMGs such as the British Bren gun.
I agree. The WW2 Vets I have talked to hated the thing.
It was simply an 06 with a twenty round mag...a GD heavy 06.
Well, I will say that watching the BAR being used on the old TV show COMBAT made me volunteer to carry the M60 machinegun for my three years in the infantry ...
I know, not exactly the same, but still I figured that, if I was going to be in the infantry, I wanted something that would reach out and touch someone ...
The title is Iconic, not the best.
