Talk:Lewis Gun

While the confusion is understandable, given the flat pan magazine on top of the receiver, the weapon used on SAS/LRDG jeeps during WWII was the Vickers K machine gun. The weapon was chosen by David Stirling (SAS founder) due to its' availability and the high rate of fire. --Charon68 17:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Bren magazine compatibility?
I read somewhere the Bren magazine could be used on the Lewis, but I can't find any information on this. Is this true? It would make sense to design the Bren's magazine to be compatible with the Lewis, but it seems improbable for a conventional box magazine to work with the Lewis' feed mechanism. --Maxman (talk) 19:13, 12 November 2016 (EST)
Variants
As far as I can find, while the Mk I is the standard version, all the other Mk variants seem to apply only to the aerial Lewis guns; do the later ground variants have proper designations, like the two with the barrel shroud removed (one with carry handle, one with Thompson grip) on this page?
