Info

An evolution of the Czech designed ZB26 the Bren gun became one of the most successful British small arms designs of the 20th century, its use lasting well into the 1980's (albeit in 7.62mm NATO). Noted for its side mounted sights and relatively low rate of fire (500 rpm average) the Bren gun was manufactured, and used, worldwide.
