Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?
Hi Andy
Well it would seem from Tarrifs post that FG42 is just fine as a SAW and certainly better than the BAR in this role. I can see your point that it was used as a SLR but it would certainly also have been used as a SAW, especially as there a 7 or so in the section. And of course we just need one of them to be used in the SAW role to justify changing the rifle weapon slot from acc 1 hit 3 to acc 20 hit 5. But if you believe this never happened then I guess thats your choice.
It is also interesting that the second BAR when added to an american rifle squad certainly gets its own acc 20 hit 5 weapon slot no pooling for the BAR!
Regards Chuck.
