It's quite common for firearms "history" books, particularly those more heavily geared to pictures rather than text, to simply repeat, often verbatim or only changed enough to avoid legal issues, things from other sources with little or no original research or fact-checking. Nearly every general-interest firearm book I've owned or read has had errors, ranging from minor to completely egregious, so it's hardly an uncommon occurrence. Depending on what your book is focusing on, it's also possible it is only mentioning war-related firearms, and as the AR-15 in its typical civilian guise is semi-auto, not full-auto or select fire, it is not a military firearm in the sense that to my knowledge no army issues semi-auto AR-15's as a primary troop weapon. If you want a well-done piece on the BAR, I'm linking a video below. The channel it's from, C&Rsenal, has as its object to do a full-length review on every small arm used during WW1, and has been doing it for several years now--the BAR review is #73 of their series. For those tuning in for the first time, the girl doing the firing does it because she is closer in size to the typical WW1 soldier than the main presenter, who's considerably taller and heavier than was common at the time, and so they felt it gave a more realistic feel to the ergonomics, recoil, etc. than it would to have him do it. They do a very thorough job, with history, mechanics, animations, live fire, and personal impressions, and the entire series is worth a watch--they typically put up a new episode every other Tuesday.
