| − | 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.

| − | : That being said, I really think this should just be made a section on the BAR page, not given it's own page. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 15:03, 28 January 2017 (EST)

| − | ::Not that I consider it as an assault rifle either, but the thing is HCAR stands for Heavy Counter Assault Rifle, so I sort of ran with it at first. As for adding it as a section to the BAR page, I don't know; I felt that it was a new system based on the BAR and not really considered as an actual variant of it. But yeah, I don't have anything against the idea of merging them. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 18:50, 28 January 2017 (EST)

| − | :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)

| − | ::I've listed it as such for now. The battle rifle category is the first that came into my mind before, but like STM said it's probably not officially one. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 08:32, 27 February 2017 (EST)

| − | :::But for this reason, we might also have to remove this category from some pages like ASh-12.7 and Desert Tech MDR, shouldn't we? --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 06:01, 13 May 2017 (EDT)

| − | ::::I, for one, believe that due to its characteristics, it should probably just be thrown under the Battle Rifle category. I mean, it's not actually likely to be adopted, sure, but as far as technological descriptions go, I'd say it fits.
