How about a group of 4/5 2* stars who have been 2 star for a year, go on lots of courses etc. They are always there!! When we try to upgrade them we can't.

Are RDF two stars still taught the bren?Comment

Are the new RDF not using the GPMG as a FSG Support Weapon??.. Thought the bren was out of commission??...."There is nothing braver then the heart of a volunteer" Lt. Col. Dolittle, USAC, 1941.Comment

If we all had the GPMG it would be and had been trained on it.Comment

Personally i was trained on the bren as a two star only about 2 years ago.
Now in integrated its all the gpmg alright.
So, my assumption is yes, the bren is decommission from the RDF, but then i hear of shooting competitions in the rdf where the bren is still used sooo... who knows.Comment

The BREN is still the section FSG weapon in the RDFComment

The Bren is still used as the LMG in the RDF, for the time being, until we get enough GPMG's to go around and train people on...
People assume that qualifying on the LMG is the basis for 3* promotion, however a lot of that training is the actual "theory" of firing/deployment/use of the LMG (or at least it Should be) Its more about learning the role of 1/fsg and 2/fsg than actually firing the weapon, whichever LMG it is...Friends Come and Go, but Enemies accumulate!!Comment

Is the Bren the LMG with the curved magazine on top or the box at the side?Comment

bren has mag on topOriginally posted by Kevin. B View Post
not sure what you mean by box on the side, the gpmg has a feed tray for the belts potruding from the left hand side of the weapon and a clearance sight thingy under that so you know where the barrel is pointing when you are in close country aiming at a more distant target
are AD still trained on the bren?courage, endurance, mateship and sacrificeComment

I don't think the elite ADR ever trained on the Bren...
