==Capabilities:==
 --- A straightforward design, the BAR-6G Barrage is a 40 Ton Medium
BattleMech built around an armament consisting purely of Short Range Missiles.
To this effect it mounts a trio of Four Tube Short Range Missile launchers in
each of the unit's Side Torsos, for a total of six launchers. These are
provided for by an adequately deep two ton magazine in each Side Torso and
provide the BAR-6G with the means to dish out sever punishment to anything
that it closes with.

 --- Ten Double Strength Heat Sinks keep the BAR-6G chilly even when engaged
in sustained fire, while it's 200 Rated Fusion Engine pushes it up to 86.4
km/h when sprinting. when it comes to protection however, the Barrage is
severely lacking; a meager six and half tons means that the 'Mech cannot stand
up to enemy fire for very long, and while it is a decently mobile platform the
Barrage still struggles to catch up to 'Mech lighter than itself.

==Variants:==
 - BAR-3F
                 - Cost: 2,994,226
                 - BV2: 793

 --- A variant introduced during the technological decline of the Succession
Wars which removes the BAR-6G's Heat Sinks and replaces them with Single
Strength versions. The Heat Sinks remain mounted in the arms as the BAR-6G's
were.

==Deployment==
 --- A well loved design by well to do Mercenary Units for it's utility in
urban combat, the Barrage has seen widespread deployment throughout the Inner
Sphere. Notably a staple of the minor Great Houses, the Barrage is heavily
favored by the Capellan Confederation with the DCMS being another major
employer of the design.

 --- The FWL maintains a fair a number of the chassis' as well, with a majority
of them being downgraded BAR-3F models. These mostly see second-line use in
defensive formations, with the BAR-6G models seeing use among commanders of
such formations.

 --- Major Periphery nations also tend to field large numbers of model -6G
Barrages to supplement garrison units on more populated or mountainous worlds.
Both the Free Rasalhague Republic and the Magistracy of Canopus are known to
favor the design.

 --- Despite the Lyrans being one of the biggest exporters of the design to
the mercenary and paramilitary market, they don't even field one of them.
Among the Davions the design is only fielded in extremely small numbers;
although notably they are often as part of high-profile commando operations.
