The BAR is an automatic rifle, not an machine gun, but do we want nine man level three rifle squads running around carrying BAR’s? Well, I would since I love the BAR.
In name the BAR is an auto rifle but in practice it’s a machine gun. Honestly I would almost say that it truly is a machine gun and automatic rifle was just a cool name they came up with for this gun
Most automatic rifles are basically a semi-automatic rifle that has the capability for automatic. So basically an infantry rifle
The BAR since it’s inception has always been a squad automatic weapon
BTW, in regards to the Thompson, I think everything I have ever read categorizes the Thompson as a sub machine gun.
Im talking about the Thompson .30. It is an automatic weapon chambered in .30 and it has already been established that such weapons are assault rifles.
What does that make it, a sub machine gun chambered in an intermediary round. Oh wait that’s just an assault rifle
They could move automatic rifles to Assault. It goes without saying that infantry in all countries were armed with either a bolt or semi rifle. Automatic rifles were rare and used in special circumstances
It would completely shake up the meta and be a bit more immersive. The infantrymen is the core of the battlefield. “Auto spam” would be limited
But until that day the Federov should be moved where all automatic rifles are
