:The BAR could be categorized as an "Automatic Rifle" like the niche the M27 IAR was intended to fill. Maybe this HCAR could be put in its own "semiauto-only rifle" category since there's little chance of it being adopted by a national military force. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] ([[User talk:Mazryonh|talk]]) 19:03, 28 January 2017 (EST) | |||

Categorization
I'd subclassify this much closer to a SLR sorta like like that of semiauto only FALs, SKS, etc, but since we don't have a category of that sort, well.. I will say this, it can't be an 'assault rifle' due to the use of a 'full-size' rifle caliber, otherwise we'd classify the original BAR as such also. I'm sorry but it not being chambered for a full-size cartridge is a characteristic that it must have to be classified as such, end of. It also isn't a 'battle rifle' as the general use of the term here isn't just about caliber/characteristics but also to denote weapons that were standard- or mass-issue for battle forces, which this also is not.
