I was in the Canadian Army when the FN C1s and C2s were relatively new. I was never trained on the Bren as it had disappeared already, however we heard endless stories about how much better the Bren was. I don’t doubt their loyalty to an old friend, but replacing a 22 pound LMG for a 12 pound one (C2) seemed a bit of a no-brainer to me, even if the magazines were slightly more awkward to change being underneath. I do regret never having fired a Bren though, seems like it would have been fun.

A shame that the prototype for a belt-fed BREN gun is a failure. Otherwise, the NATO would have a GPMG equivalent of the famed PKM. Light, reliable and durable.

I have talked to JD jones ssk ind and Mel Berstein (dragon man) both two of the largest machinegun class 3 dealers in America they both have own mgs 34s and 42s and Brens- they both said that the cone of fire (Beaten zone) the Bren has the smallest pattern of fire and the Bren is the most accurate light machine gun in the world! then i called up Kenton tucker that host the largest outdoor private machine gun range in America (big sandy machingun shoot) they fire to 1600 yards, but can fire out to 3 miles and he said they tested every machingun jap type 99,Bar, french 24/29, ZB 30, mg 42,mg 34,Dp28,DPM,1919a4, Bren etc etc, he said the Bren does have the smallest cone of fire and is the most accurate of all the machineguns!

Had one in Ireland in the 80s. Safety sear warn. (7.62) Body made in 1938 I think.

Happy memories of the 7.62mm LMG on the ranges

This film sounds like it was narrated by Stan Laurel.

This Czechoslovak piece of machinery used to be an avant-garde!
