It was called Model 1917 because in that year, on the verge of entering the war in Europe, the Army found itself completely lacking in modern automatic weapons. In February, 1917, Browning performed a demonstration at Congress Heights for the benefit of the press, members of Congress, and various foreign representatives. He brought the recoil operated gun he patented in 1901, and also a gas-operated automatic rifle, the BAR. Both weapons were successfully demonstrated, and began production shortly before the war's end.
