Just went through all three of them and they don't have the BAR anywhere? That just doesn't seem right. I would think it would be on the list over the STEYR AUG, the M14 or the Lee-Enfield. What?!?

Where is the Mosin-Nagant M91/30? It should be above or near the Kar-98. I'll assume that for this list, the M2 doesn't count as a "rifle," though I have seen pictures of the ma deuce with optics in Korea :mrgreen: This list is flawed.

Shoothing 16's and M4's as a left handed shot sucks because the gas from the breach blasts right back in your face. I wish we could do something like that for our weapons.

I would wager that in the follow up countdown for machine guns it will rank in the top 5. I think the BAR was probably not mentioned because it was developed as a light machine gun.
