Okay help me out here. I've never gotten to use a BAR and can't find a decent online manual, but I'm interested in just how you'd operate one of these things.
This is an open-bolt gun, right? This means you have to cock it before you fire it? So is this done like you would on a cheap open bolt gun like a Grease gun, where you draw back the bolt, and chambering it done when the bolt moves forward, or is the bolt drawn back AND a round is chambered?
Basically, do you cock it first, then load it, and are ready to fire, or do you load the magazine and cock and release the bolt to chamber a round, like on an Uzi? Do you just draw the bolt handle back until it clicks and stays like on a Thompson, or do you draw it back and release it, like on an Uzi?
