Its funny a few years ago the Bren was supposidly being retired and apparently somebody then found 1 million rounds of 303 in the curragh which didnt exist on paper. Thats one of the storys we were told anyway.....totla bullshit I'd say.
rather than let ye fire it and having a load of ammo to expend we used to dump tons of it at sea what a waste of brass

Nothing wrong with an energa grenade, only hang up is the ballisite round.
It has been proved very effective in a few skirmishes in which I have participated.. we used to call them Zulus.

I recall doing the GPMG as an FCA recruit back in.. oh.. early 1998 or so. Only reason we ever did the TOETs on the Bren was so that we could shoot in the competitions as the Bren was still the inter-unit standard. Otherwise, field exercises and whatnot were GPMG. Now it's possible it was also for convenience's sake as we had the MAGs in the AMLs, so there was some commonality.
Em.... sorry ......will be in the butts for the LMG so providing photos is a definite no no from my perspective..even I'm not looney tunes enough to try photo brens in action from that perspective.
