So I think it is safe to say my cousin owns one of the biggests ARs in the world!  It's about 10 ft long. The BCG itself is a little bit over a foot long!  It appears to be a .90 caliber.

In case you don't know, those were used as training tools during Army basic training (in the days before powerpoint) to show new Soldiers how the rifle functions.  

I was in a gun store in Richmond last month that had a BAR of one of these, really cool.  I should have taken a picture.

Yeah I knew about its training purpose.  The cool thing is that everything functions just like the real thing, except it doesn't go BANG!

Well it's only hanging by some nylon rope!

That rope has a working load limit of 225 lbs.

There's one in the surplus shop near where I work. Dunno if they'd sell it or not...

Badass. A local pawnshop had an M1 Garand one a few years ago.

Blackwater has one of those. Somewhere there's a picture of me shouldering it (extremely briefly)

No civilian should own a gun that big!



I have always wanted one of those for a man cave

We had one of those in our bay in basic. First week, a soldier left his M16 in his bunk. He was saddled with that as a replacement for 3 days. And he still had to sling his weapon as well.

He would tell you how it has a tactical advantage over a standard AR and show you how to shoot it first slow then fast.

I have no idea how he even handles that rifle without a super light Rogers Super-Stoc.
