  1. John Moses Browning is an American deity and legendary gun designer. He shaped the future of firearms. There is nothing more to know. FN wanted a belt-fed BAR so they basically flipped the receiver over.

  2. USA in 1917: Adopts the Browning Automatic Rifle USA in 1957: Ditches the BAR to copy the MG-42 and FG-42 to make the M-60 USA in 1977: Adopts the M240 because the M60 was too heavy and too complicated John Browning's ghost: "You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me."

  3. The Americans rejected the BAR to copy the German machine guns from WWII. They basically ended up going back to a gun based on the BAR. Why? Because John Moses Browning is a legend!

  4. At its core, the FN Mag is a BAR. It's basically an American design because of how much it took from the BAR. The US was so obsessed with the German MG-42, they tried to copy it in the M60. But ultimately they went back to what John Browning had designed in 1918! lol
