Actually, I own the BAR and PBP and pretty much about half of the guns in the game. I have not touched the BAR in like a year. It is just plain terrible. The only reason it's put in such high regard is because most people who play iEra take into account one thing, the damage. And since it has the highest damage it must be the best gun right? Only thing BAR is good for is sitting in a corner in a base and just shooting without moving. And even then, it's still trash. BAR isn't OP, people just like to be spoon fed everything.
