Colt Monitor BAR.
"The most prominent part on the Monitors is the large compensator present on most of the rifles; the compensator is a Cutts-type compensator produced by Lyman Products Corporation[6] and is said to reduce the kick of the rifle, although it appears that the concussion from the compensator is rather intense. The compensator is not present on the R 75 and R 75A. Serial numbers for the R 75s and R 80s start at 100,000, while the serial numbers for the R 75A appear to be around 4300 to 5300"

Everytime I see a BAR, I'm reminded of a book I first read at about age 12. Marines the first night on Peleliu and the author wrote they heard a BAR open up and empty a mag in one continuous burst. The platoon sergeant said something like, "He'll be shooting around corners before he sees a jap."

I had an awesome high school history teacher, he was young and cool, and really dedicated. The kids cursing in class got out of hand, and he instituted a swear jar policy, $.05 per word. My buddy Russ said shit, and teacher gestured to the jar on his desk. Russ walks up, holds out the coin, "Here's your fucking dime". Everyone including the teacher lost it, really curtailed the swear jar.
