The BAR 1918 is a weapon featured in Battlefield 1942, issued to the United States Army, United States Marine Corps, the British Army and the Red Army (prior to patch 1.45, when it was replaced by the DP) Assault kit. It has high power, a medium rate of fire, low recoil and low accuracy. It uses a 20-round magazine. It is an effective mid-range weapon, though it is rather bested by a rifle at long range, or a submachine gun in close quarters. The BAR is not very effective unless fired from the prone position, due to its high recoil. While prone, a BAR user will be much more effective, due to the increased accuracy and substantially decreased recoil, and will be able to support friendly infantry.

It is the counterpart of the German StG 44 and Japanese Type 99, though there are significant differences. The BAR and Type 99 hold 20 rounds, while the StG holds 30. This difference is offset by the fact that the BAR and Type 99 are more powerful than the StG, making individual shots more effective. The primary difference between the BAR and the Type 99 is that the BAR has a slower rate of fire, and that the Type 99's damage is affected by range.

It is issued to the Free French Forces Assault kit. in the Road to Rome expansion.
