If you ever shot a BAR with armor piercing ammo you would understand the term "make a hole".

The History Channel runs a show about firearms (the name escapes me) showing WWII marines blasting holes through walls with a BAR for entry .

The BAR is unwieldy but devastating when properly handled by a bull. The M14 is a good device for the average man properly trained; As good as the Garand and in effect the same weapon it has the advantage of a box magazine, larger round capacity, and sleeker brush design.

I see you've met my dad :) He got out of the USMC after Korea, got his degree through the GI Bill, and got comissioned in the USAF. I'm proud to have had him swear me into active duty, years and years ago.
