Awesome! It's on my list "must shoot" list!

Looked very controllable. Then again, don't they weigh 20lbs unloaded?

Nice

I'm not sure of the exact empty weight but it was very controllable. I'm shooting at a target thats on the outer edge of pistol range and it was getting throughly tore up, if you know what I mean.

I've held one, and that's about as close as I've gotten.

They are one of my favorite guns, and I'd go a long way to shoot one.

Nice!
Clyde Barrow - March 24, 1909 – May 23, 1934
Favorite gun was the BAR and his favorite car was a model A ford.
Per ol'Clyde neither could be beat and he trusted his life with them.
Funny how that worked out for him in the end.

It's so bad ass the ejected shells knocked 3 guns over....

THe officers that eventually did him in were using a pair of BAR's weren't they? I mean amongst their many other weapons.

Yep, they sure were.
What's so amazing is Clyde knew at that time the BAR was the most reliable and devastating weapon out there.
He did know his guns and cars but not when to stop pushing his luck.

One of the slower cycling machine guns out there by todays standards.

Is that you in the video? If so, you look a little more like an ArmyAnglo to me.

May be slow but still leaves a hell of as hole.

Sorry, couldn't't resist.

Indeed. The M1918A2s had two speed selections: Trickle (350 RPM) and Gentle Rain (550 RPM). While the MG42 had "Oh my God, man the Arc!".

I think in the role that the BAR filled it was a solid gun. I'm sure the GIs that carried it cursed the weight of the thing, but as a firing platform I'm sure it made some friends.

Now now the Navy is the only service still using the Woodlands, and please do notice the tan.

Sorry, I am not well versed in camouflage patterns. I have also been known to be bad with colors, too.

Having to swap barrels and reload every thirty seconds slowed 'em down some.
