Good enough in it’s time that it was not issued to US troops in France lest one be captured by the enemy.
I know, right? Yet, I’m somehow managing to get caught up from the weekend and being out of the office yesterday and this morning. 
Oh no, but it was most definitely in their possession at one time. Unfortunately, since they utilized a number of BARs, there’s no way to tell what if any shootouts or holdups it was actually used in.
Perhaps they recorded the serial numbers of the weapons in the car after the shoot out.
Maybe he is the guy in the hamster wheel that powers the internet for the government?
You really should have a picture taken with it.
Take one with your girlfriend or wife.
Yes, I know. British understatement. 
The long barreled Browning Automatic Rifle weighed 16+ lbs which, I believe, made it the lightest light machine gun in WWI. The later short-barreled version weighted over 13 lbs.
The weight helped control full-auto muzzle jump.
Bonny weighed around 95 lbs and was reported to be a pretty good shot with one.
p.s. Are you actually (legally) allowed to handle a full-auto weapon?
Video screaming,“Youse dirty coppers’ll never take me aliiiiiive!!!”
Probably had more to do with creating a portable beaten zone for a few moments, while the trenches are rushed. Unlike the Bren gun, that someone told me , was too accurate for its purpose. So instead of keeping a bunch of heads down, your only keeping one or two.

The M-60 is a crew-served weapon. The crew is usually three guys: one carries the gun, one carries the tripod, and the third is an ammo humper. For the BAR, other members of the squad would carry extra ammo for it.
For a long time the FBI had the pistol taken off John Dillinger’s body in its museum, until Jay Robert Nash traced its manufacture to a date after Dillinger’s death.
Since Nash believes that the FBI did not kill Dillinger of course they didn’t take it off his body.
He made a pretty good case, I think. It only falls apart when he over-reaches on some of the secondary connections.
I’ve asked James Starr if he ever intends to exhume Dillinger for a final proof. The last time I heard back from him, there was a family member adamantly opposed to the exhumation; I think he was trying to outlive her. Also, several feet of concrete were poured on top of the coffin and it may be well-preserved… or uselessly crushed.
He hasn’t answered in a few years and I think his career may be winding down. Bummer.

I’ve got a ten-spot with somebody’s name on it-all they have to do is bring B&C’s BAR by the house and leave it here. No questions asked.
How much time elapsed between your initial application to the BATFE, including the Federal Tax Stamp process, before you could own an automatic weapon?
I was designed to be hand-held like a rifle, during a marching fire maneuver, in WW1. It was adopted as a squad automatic weapon in WW2, even before the term was invented. If you think it was unwieldy as a SAW, what about the Garand as an assault rifle?
Geeze, read the thread. He’s a government employee, and in the course of his duties is in temporary possession of an automatic weapon. No Class 3 license required.
The 10 lb M1 Garand replaced the 8.75 lb M1903 Springfield. The Garand’s rate of fire (aimed vs maximum) was 2 to 3 times higher than the Springfield and the Garand held 8 rounds vs the Springfield’s 5 rounds, which more than made up for the added weight.
