Is there a reason why the vast majority of Russian stuff feeds from the right and ejects to the left? Seems a little awkward seeing as 90% of the world are right handed.Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.Comment

The PKM weighs a couple of kilos less than the Bren. Why do say it's an MMG?Originally posted by Kieran View PostComment

If the internet had been around fifty-sixty years ago, I wonder if there would have been Old Sweats of Kitchener's posting that "This newfangled Bren is a load of rubbish, give me a Lewis Gun any day"?

Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

Personally i would class the PKM as a GPMG while the bren was a true LMG.
the DP, RPD, RPK are truer soviet LMGs
Interesting video though looks like a very decent MG but one could expect nothing less from the soviet small arms industry ."take a look to the sky right before you die, its the last time you will"Comment

GPMG - no contest, the FN 7.62mm GPMG
LMG - would have to say that the former German Army MG42 would have to
be up there and have the edge over the Bren, in that being belt fed, it didn't
have the Bren's 30 round stoppage issue....
In more modern times, again FN, with the Minimi, can be belt of box fed and
can be chambered for 5.56mm or 7.62mm, for that extra punch, unless I am
sorely mistaken...."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"Comment

id class a mg42 (mg 3) as the creator of the GPMG concept , belt fed air cooled sustained fire with quick barrel change , and capable of being used on a tripod or bipod and replaced the water cooled MG08 of ww1 vintage at company level .
the vickers survived in service with the British because the Bren was a LMG ,"take a look to the sky right before you die, its the last time you will"Comment
