NEW CMBO Scenario: Cluster Frak in Normandy

[Bear]

*The only short fall is that the inventory for the Airborne (CMBO and CMAK) show BARs assigned. Everywhere I've researched says it's not so..."BAR is too heavy at 44 Kilos" and 4 feet long ("too awkward for paratroops"[/size][/font]

44 kilos! Hmm think that's a wee bit too heavy, see here, http://www.rt66.com/~korteng/SmallArms/browning.htm

Yes, the BAR wasn't on the standard equipment loadout for paratropers, but they seemed to have taken them anyway. Suppose it was the only way they could make up for not having a LMG.

Thanx, a catastrophic error by me in converting 20 lbs to Kgms. 9 Kgms is correct.
Some US Airborne refer to the 30 cal as LMG and it was standard issue.
