Mickey ([[Ronnie Fox]]) uses a [[Bren gun]] when they go to rob the weed dealers. Later on it is commandeered by Gloria ([[Suzy Ratner]]) and then used by Paul ([[Huggy Leaver]]).
The recruits are trained to field-strip and operate the [[Bren Gun]]. From the look of the flash hider, the lack of rear grip, and the reference to a flip-up back sight it is assumed that this is the Mk2 Bren Gun. The use of the curved magazine indicates .303 British calibre.
