Didn't the French end up preferring the BAR when they got a chance to use it in 1944?The US could have gone for a rework of the Browning AR. The French did so dropping the Chauchat & choosing a Browning/Hotchkiss marriage in the excellent Chautelleraut https://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=482. Largeer capacity top loading magazine, reliable, reasonably light, popular RoF for a squad/platoon weapon. Whats not to like? Personally I prefer a belt feed, but anything similar to this weapon will do.
