	Bren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bren, usually called the Bren Gun was a series of machineguns adopted by Britain in the 1930s and used in various roles primarily into the 1980s.
		As a light support weapon, the L4 Brens were replaced by the LSW firing the 5.56 mm NATO round in the 1980s, leaving it only in use on some vehicles.
		Each gun came with a spare barrel that could be quickly changed when the barrel became hot during sustained firing, although later guns featured a chrome-lined barrel which reduced need for the spare.

	Universal Carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Universal Carrier, usually known as a Bren Gun Carrier (even when it was not carrying a Bren), was a small, tracked British-designed military vehicle, used widely by Allied forces during World War II.
		Universal Carriers were commonly used as platforms for infantry support weapons such as the Vickers machine gun or the Bren or Boys anti-tank rifle or to carry weapons such as the 3-inch mortar along with its crew.
		A heavily modified and lengthened LP2 carrier with a fully traversable 2 pounder anti-tank gun mounted on a platform at the rear and the engine moved to the front left of the vehicle.

	Bren Light Machine Gun
		A Bren gunner of 1 RAR scans the enemy hills during the daily stand-to at last light, 1952.
		The Bren light machine-gun was the main portable firepower of Australian infantry in Korea.

	BREN LMG
		Bren Light Machine Gun was introduced in to the British Army in 1937.
		Bren revolutionized the British Army; equipment was designed so Bren gun magazines could be carried, an infantry section always contained a Bren Group (1 gun) for local automatic support fire and the introduction of the Bren meant that tactics could have light, fast moving automatic fire squads.
		The Bren gun was used in many roles from light support in the infantry section to a medium MG role when used with the sustained fire tripod that was issued with every gun.

		The Bren Light Machine Gun, usally just called the Bren Gun was Britain's primary infantry light machine gun in WWII and served on after the end of World War 2 until phased out in favour of smaller calibre weapons.
		Each gun came with a spare barrel that could be quickly changed when the barrel became hot during sustained firing, although later guns featured a chrome-lined barrel which made the spare unnecessary.
		The Bren was typically used with a 30 round magazine that in practice was filled to only 28 rounds to prevent jamming.

	Bren Mark I Light Machine Gun, Bren Mark III, Bren Mark IV

		Properly designated as a Light Machine gun, the Bren was considered one of the finest such weapons developed in WWII.
		Yes the BREN was captured no doubt in some quantity but not nearly as much as Lend Lease from Canada.

		For those who have been bitten by the "Bren Bug" one of the best ways to learn about the story behind the gun is through the various literature put out by Dornaus & Dixon or those who were promoting their products.
		There's no denying that there were faults with both the gun and the company that made it, but you also cannot ignore the concept and ideal that Dornaus & Dixon were trying to accomplish with the Bren Ten.
		While it's impossible to put one of these guns through its paces, it looks like a lot of the problems that plagued the Bren were taken care of.

		I hit the gun stores as much as possible, even though I was unable to purchase a gun because of my age, and even though I remember drooling over various makes and models I didn't actually decide on what I wanted until a certain television show aired.
		Gun manufacturers aren't stupid (well most of them aren't anyway) and with the.40 S&W being the hot seller it was the 10mm pretty much got put up on the shelf and forgotten so to speak.
		Bruce has extensive knowledge of the Bren Ten and all the ins-and-outs of the different models and variations and has put together a superb article that should be considered a "must read" for anyone considering the purchase of a Bren Ten.

		The BREN machine gun had been initially developed in Czechoslovakia as ZB-26, and then redesigned to fire rimmed british.303 ammunition.
		Brens in.303 had been manufactured in Mk.1 to Mk.4 configurations, being slightly differend in barrel lenghts, sights and other aspects, and saw wide and sucessful use during the World war 2.
		All other guns were issued with non-lined barrels, each gun with two barrels (one installed, one spare).

	Bren MMG (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		One tactical use of the Bren Gun (the weapon portrayed in ASL by the British LMG) was as tripod mounted gun.
		The disadvantage that the tripod mounted Bren had was that it still fired from a 30 round magazine (75 round drums did exist but were apparently not widely used), and the range of the gun still did not match that of the Vickers.
		The gun may not be returned to MMG status for the duration of the scenario.

	Bren gun carrier; fast, furious and lots of help
		The first Machine Gun Carrier introduced into British service was produced by Vickers in 1936 and became the prototype for the Machine Gun and Bren Carriers.
		Designated the Carrier, Machine Gun, No.1, Mk I, it carried a crew of three, dispensing with the idea of carrying an independent machine gun team and replacing it with the idea that the vehicle and crew were the machine gun team, able to operate with or independent from the vehicle.
		Bren and Scout Carriers were upgraded during the war to the "universal" standard; many of these Carriers received "in the field" alterations which included the mounting of heavier machine guns like the American.30 in and.50 in Brownings.

		The gun weighed only about half as much as the monumental Vickers machine gun and was primarily chosen because it could be carried and used by a single soldier.
		In WW2 it was replaced by the Bren gun for most infantry uses, but the Lewis saw continued service as a vehicle mounted weapon, primarily as a side gunner's weapon on aircraft.
		Although it was probably obsolete for that role as well, the British were facing something of a major economic crisis during the war, and had to use their existing stocks in whatever capacity made the most sense.

		The gun was rejected because, before World War II the Australia Army did not realise that the submachine gun was very important in attacking and defensive roles.
		The Bren revolutionised the British and Australian Army organisation and equipment from the organisation that had been in place since the First World War to what we know as the organisation of the Army in World War Two.
		With the Bren's predecessor, the LEWIS, this could not be done as the weight and dimensions of the Lewis meant it was not possible to carry forward an LMG in an attack at speed.

		Many people ask, "What is the advantage of the BREN configuration?" I asked the same question when I first saw a BREN gun.
		Prior to WWII the British adopted the "BREN" gun chambered for the.303 British cartridge.

		I have also seen a couple of pictures from the Australian War Memorial archives that show a Bren bucket in use with the Light Horse but don't know if this is the same as the UK version.
		As to actual parts I have aquired a couple of the accesories cases and both the gun cover as listed in the LoCs and the simpler, earlier version which is shown in the drawing/photograph (incidently the photo clearly shows the gun to be a Czech made ZGB and not a Bren).
		The ammunition in the wallets on the saddles of the section leader and No. 1 will be kept as a reserve; that in the bandoliers should be used for the initial supply when speed in opening fire is essential.
