  2. +Vince L it's worth watching Ian's BAR video where he shoots the WWII version; as a man who knows his guns from shooting them, his conclusions are worth listening to. I've used BRENs in both .303 and 7.62 NATO, and it stayed in service because it did so well. The BAR was intended as an automatic rifle and for its time was good, but heavy. Its adaptation into a light machine gun had the limitations you describe, and I'd say it falls between two stools, designed as one thing, used as another. It was outclassed by the time 1939 arrived.
