The “Too Heavy” Gun That Let One Marine Wipe Out 60 Japanese Troops in 15 Minutes

In February 1945 on Iwo Jima, Private Wilson D. Watson proved that the Browning Automatic Rifle—often criticized as "too heavy" for infantry use—could be a game-changing weapon in the right hands. Armed with his BAR and grenades, Watson single-handedly charged Japanese pillboxes and held a crucial hilltop position for 15 minutes under intense mortar and machine gun fire, eliminating approximately 60 enemy troops and allowing his platoon to advance. This extraordinary feat earned Watson the Medal of Honor and demonstrated how the BAR's firepower made it indispensable in the brutal close-quarters fighting of Pacific island warfare.
