The L86 or AUG BAR or Modernized Bren or RPK would be considered an LAR - Light Automatic Rifle. Yes it is a term that is a throw back to the 1960's as the LAR was the SAW of that period when a riflemen either carried and Assault Rifle (M16, AKM) or Main Battle Rifle (FN FAL, M14). Today you could consider them a Light Support Weapon, the bastard cousin to the SAW.
