The beginning of this entry is all wrong. The BAR was not an "assault rifle" as the term had not been invented, and wouldn't be for another three+ decades. Yes, it was used in the assault, but that wasn't what it was called,nor how it was meant to be used.

It was a light machine gun, along the lines of the Lewis Gun, but without that design's faults.

Unless there is a strong insistence otherwise, I'll go in and change the incorrect language to reflect the time, and the use.

If there is, join in and we can work it out.

Verifiability[edit]

Everything in Wikipedia, even articles about Bowling pin shooting, has to be verifiable using reliable, published sources. See WP:V. Felsic2 (talk) 21:12, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We can't write about topics for which we don't have sources. We can't write material based solely upon our personal knowledge. See WP:V and WP:NOR, two of the core content policies. There are two options: scour the two books you know of for information that you'd like to add, or get your own article or book published.

I appreciate your effort on behalf of the encyclopedia, and I'm sorry that the rules seem harsh. Felsic2 (talk) 16:13, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, understood. the 28-29 books, and the 1,000+ articles I have written, almost none of them in the subject of bowling pins (one article, back in 1993, is) so it's quoting Mas and Mitch. Primogunwriter (talk) 17:49, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
