      The B.A.R. is an Automatic Heavy Rifle. Hence the name 'BAR' Browning Automatic 'RIFLE'. The BREN on the other hand has always been a LIGHT MACHINE GUN by designation.
      The BREN is quite obviously a far better Light Machine Gun for many reasons.. Capacity, Quick barrel swap, Faster Mag change etc.

  • @canuckguns
    @canuckguns Před rokem +14

    The Bren was regarded as the principal weapon of an infantry section, providing the majority of its firepower. As such, all ranks were expected to be "experts in its use". The Bren had an effective range of around 600 yards (550 m) when fired from a prone position with a bipod.

      A good buddy of mine and I have talked about taking out dated designs and shoehorning them into the modern era with fixes such as that (without resorting to any bubba'ing of historical guns). Or honestly just trying to make the gun be all that it could based on modern insights. For example: the stock drop on the thompson affects it so terribly, but it wouldn't be hard to design and print a new, more inline stock profile for it and that would make a huge difference in its handling and shootability.

    I carried the L4A4 Bren whilst a member of an Assault Section (later Scouts) in an Armoured Cavalry Troop with 2nd Cavalry Regiment (Royal Australian Armoured Corps 1976-1979) and preferring to the old Vietnam era M60 GPMG... Far better than the L2A1 AR in recruit training at the Royal Military College 'Duntroon' too! As to your question about the L1A1 SLR vs G3 = prior to the change in gun laws here in Australia, I owned both so the SLR won hands down (though probably due to familiarity as well - the G3 just seemed more complicated!) Funnily enough, I preferred the M1A over the SLR.... I also owned an AR-15 and CAR-15 so their lighter weight caught my attention when serving with the Reserve in the Royal Victoria Regiment - in many respects, it probably is dependent on what you are used to and most familiar with .. ? Thanks for your interesting show - brought back memories!!

    It's not overrated, in my opinion the Brits sure have created a great piece of hardware for their armed forces in the UK and Commonwealth. Wish I bought an L4 when I saw it, but I'll settle for my Mk2 in .303, just wish the .303 ammo was more widely available and affordable so that I didn't need to reload every 303 brass.

    • @armandgun

    Three bits of trivia about the L4. 1. The 1958 Pattern webbing ammo pouches were made large enough to accommodate 30 round magazines. 2. The L4 saw service in the Falklands when the RM Commandos ran two gun sections. 3. The L4 last saw service in the First Gulf War.

      There’s three classes of firearms license here Non restricted which is the most common and allows you to have long guns and shotguns with an overall length of 21” or greater with exception of a few particular rifles that are restricted or prohibited by name like the AK or AR, they can be brought wherever and only have to be unloaded during transport, restricted firearms which mainly consisted of pistols before the recent ban but also includes anything under 21 inches and anything not banned by name has to be stored and transported in a secure locked container, can only be discharged at an authorized range and you have to notify the rcmp any time your transporting it there is also a license for trappers, minors and guides called an authorization to carry which allows them to open carry certain restricted pistols in the forest and the last one is the prohibited license which i don’t know a whole lot about as its pretty rare but from my understanding it’s reserved for certain businesses and exporters and is kind of like an FFL and lets you own practically whatever
