Was wondering when you were going to do a video on this and it didn't disappoint. I've always thought that Canada and Australia would have been better off with these in 7.62 running FAL magazines than they were with the FN FAL light machine guns that were used. What do you think?

Yeah, I think they would have been much better off with FN-DA1s or 7.62mm Bren guns. The FAL support weapon was not great.

Yes, my father was a C2A1 gunner in the 80's and said that other than them being very reliable, there wasn't too many positives to them. Heavy to carry but not heavy enough to be very effective in sustained fire and it'd get dangerously hot pretty fast.

Do you think you will ever have the opportunity to fire this pattern of BAR? That would be something to see!

Awesome, I love watching you fire these historic firearms.

What a huge difference between disassembly of this pattern vs the 1919A2. A significant improvement in design.

Video is no longer available?

Scheduled for my birthday! Am not disappointed! If you don't mind Ian, I'll save my view until then.

I think it is incredibly interesting that the quick change barrel mechanism is exactly the same as on a "modern" M240 or FNMAG that we use. Even more so that the M240 is based on the BAR, it is just cool to see technology carried over after a long period of time with little to no modification.

German occupation forces used these of course. The Polish versions in 8x57mm that were seized by the Soviets after 17 Sep. 1939 were actually given out to the opolchenye workers militia during the German invasion.

Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, all used the 7.65x53mm cartridge, just like the Belgians. Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, Uruguay all would have used the 7x57mm Mauser cartridge. Later, post-1945, all of these nations adopted the U.S. .30-06, and later still the 7.62x51mm. The simple fact that the barrel can be changed makes this far superior to the FALO/ heavy barrel FN, no?

Very cool. Kinda makes you wounder why we as Americans never adopted a weapon that is obviously superior to what we were using at the time. But I guess we have kinda done a lot of stuff like that. Thanks for the great video and history.
