That wouldn't be the roadblock to approach...by the by, what handgun's the man on the right got on his belt?
Looks like a staged picture. Why would you have the bolt closed on your BAR?
Does it fire from the open bolt position like the modern M249 and M240B? I assumed it fired from the closed position myself, but then again I've never fired or even held one.Quote:

So you're saying it WOULD be the roadblock to approach? What's the pistol the right hand man's carrying then?
Jim:
I don't understand your question. I merely stated, in my belief, the BAR would be ready to fire in an actual combat situation. I haven't looked at the sidearm.
From the looks of what can be seen of the holster, I guessing the pistol is something 'captured' about the size of a Tokarev. On another note, It is interesting to see the 'pocket' sewn onto the legging to hold the knife sheath on the BAR gunners' right leg.
Is there a sword sticking in the bag between the two right gunners? Looks like but who knows?
I don't know why I just thought of those books I used to get for my grand-daughter, "I Spy With My Little Eye".
But he is right, looks like a sword.
