Better still - the BAR mags were 20 round boxes. There're great stories outa Marine Raiders (look for "The Right Kind of War") about taking off the bipod and brake of BARs and gunning up a whole patrol with BARs, Thompsons and M-2s to fool the Japanese into thinking it was a Garand, Thompson and carbine patrol (before M-2s were common) and unleashing a whirlwind of hell on initial contact with EVERYTHING going full auto!My mistake. It's a beautiful rifle. As a battle rifle, 10 rounds of .30-06 will make anyone or anything think twice, lol. As a hunting rig, you could really feel comfortable going after pretty much anything on the NA continent.
