@nokiot9 About 22 pounds loaded with a bipod. Many soldiers and Marines removed the bipod to save weight. The WWII version of the BAR had two settings - slow and fast. On the slow setting you could get off single shots, but since it fired from an open bolt, there was a delay before it slammed home and fired. This made accurate aiming difficult unless you used the bipod or some sort of rest to stabilize it.
