The following weapons were used in the film NorahBatty/Sandbox:
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.
