If you remember the movie Saving Private Ryan, Ben Afleck's character carried a BAR. Browning Automatic Rifle, a 10 pound box fed open bolt machine gun. Browning has long made makes a civilian version for hunters that is semi-auto only, and looks like a typical hunting rifle.

The civilian BAR has an entirely different mechanism IIRC.
Correct, they're similar in name only.
No doubt, it has a closed bolt method of operation. Normies don't get that though.
The BAR evolved into the FN MAG(M240).
I've actually never seen the movie! But thank you.
