Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) rips shell casings in half
This video showcases a Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) experiencing issues with shell casings being ripped in half during its 2020 rental season. Despite using the lowest gas setting, the problem persisted. Experts identified that the thinner brass casings of standard civilian ammunition were not durable enough for the BAR's extraction process. The solution implemented was switching to Colt Nickel-Plated 30-06 ammunition, which resolved the casing issue and allowed for operation on higher gas settings. The video highlights a common problem faced by owners and operators of older or powerful firearms with certain ammunition types.
