AY BAR M1918 A2
In response to the US’s urgent need of a standardised automatic weapon towards the end of the first World War, John Browning introduced two types of automatic weapons to Congress for consideration; one of which was the single infantry operated, shoulder fired Browning Automatic Rifle also known as the BAR. The new select fire, air-cooled, long stroke piston operated weapon was so impressive that it was unanimously recommended for immediate adoption into service. Even though the weapon saw limited use in WWI due its late introduction, the battles it participated in were heavily impacted by the presence of this man portable light machine gun. Despite its low ammunition capacity, its mobility and ability to be operated by a single infantryman made it a force multiplier on the battlefield. The results were so impressive, other Allied nations requested for immediate adoption of the BAR. Throughout its service life, the BAR saw action in WW2, Korean War, and even into Vietnam before it was replaced by the M60 Machine Gun. During this time the weapon was used by various nations such as Belgium, Poland, and Sweden as well as being adopted by law enforcement for its awesome unrivaled firepower.
The AY Bar is a faithful replica of the original. This airsoft adaptation is the perfect AEG to complete any WWII collection or military reenactor’s loadout. The AY BAR features all metal construction with full wood furniture and is designed for realistic field stripping. The AY BAR is no lightweight and it reflects the heavy duty ruggedness of the weapon it was modeled after.
