The BAR machine gun is recommended for its accuracy and portability whereas with the browning you sacrifice these qualities for greater fire rate, ammo capacity and bullet penetration. Actually, the Browning Automatic Rifle (aka Browning Machine gun) IS the BAR; they are one and the same. BAR is an acronym for Browning Automatic Rifle.
