The Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) is a family of American automatic rifles and
machine guns used by the United States and numerous other countries during the 20th
century. The primary variant of the BAR series was the M1918, chambered for the
.30-06 Springfield rifle cartridge and designed by John Browning in 1917 for the
American Expeditionary Forces in Europe.

The BAR was designed to be carried by infantrymen during an assault advance
while supported by the sling over the shoulder, or to be fired from the hip.
This is a concept called walking fire. The BAR never entirely lived up to the original
hopes of the War Department as either a rifle or a machine gun.

The US Army, in practice, used the BAR as a light machine gun, often fired from a
bipod (introduced on models after 1938).
