    Ultimax is made in Singapore, so no embargo.

      In terms of being a pleasure to fire the the bren was a lovely gun. Practicality of having an LMG with a small metal magazine however just quite does not cut the mustard any longer!

        Loved firing the Bren, anyone remember the old fella I think from the 21st Btn. in the 80,s who always seemed to win every Bren shooting competition!!

          There was a proposed Naval/Air mount Bren called a Motley Gun, which had a 200 round drum (imagine the weight of it) but which lost out to the Vickers GO, which had a 97 round drum (and which was used by the Air Corps in the 40s, as far as I know).

            You might be thinking of Cpl Frank Lane, ex 7 Inf Bn ?

              Frankie was a master with that thing. Great cook too.
              There may be only one time in your life when your country will call upon you and you will be the only one who can do the nasty job that has to be done -- do it or forever after there will be the taste of ashes in your mouth.

                The Gatling gun was handy too just pull it around on it's wheeled cart. No gas stoppages either just wind a handle!!
