wz.28 (bar)

The Rkm wz. 28 (or Browning wz. 28) is a Polish derivative of the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle. It was used as a light machine gun by the Polish Military and Polish Resistance forces during World War II. They are colloquially called "Polish BARs" and were based on an earlier FN adaptation, but built in the Polish PFK factory.

Polish BARs were able to retain more of the portability that the American M1918A2_BAR lost. They had thinner bipods, pinned at the gas tube instead of muzzle. They had pistol grips, extended foregrips and often flared stocks. It was comparable in weight to the English Bren Gun.

Despite the fall of the polish_second_republic, the german reich continued to use them as captured weapons, and even kept the factory open to produce more. Under Nazi ordinance codes, these weapons were known as l.MG 154(p) and l.MG 28(p)
