I'm interested to see that you fire the Bren gun when sitting down with your hand underneath the butt of the gun (or so it appears to show on the video, i may be seeing it wrongly though). Usually as I have been shown and taught, the correct method would be to steady it by gripping the top of the but to prevent it riding upwards due to recoil and lock it into the shoulder. Was just wondering how you find it using your style of grip (if I did view it correctly) and whether you have compared both.

@TRUExSIGHTS Both methods work, the Bren recoil is fairly light.

C2, which do you think is better the BREN or the BAR ?

[C2builder]

@james257wby The Bren. Even the Gunny (Lee Ermey) admits it. lol.

sweet!!! what round does it fire? I'm getting firm just watching you fire it,and can only imagine the rush one gets when firing it.

[C2builder]

@ballrub The bren fires the .303 British round.

@DNchap1417 it has MUCH more than twice the range of a Sten.

They were pop-guns for trench or house clearing. I'd only choose a Sten to go against a Bren if the range was ten to 15 metres and we not not already aiming at each other!

LOVE this gun

@Ashitaka255 only you would be surprised how much of the kit we use is british. currently, in terms of small arms, the standard issue kit that is foreign made is our pistols, shotguns (which we have the infrastructure to make ourselves if need be), LMGs (minimis), some other weapons (e.g. barrett 50. cal, l129a1, UGLs, AGLs and SF weapons). the important stuff i.e. our main vehicles, ships, aircraft etc. are mostly built in britain and/ or designed (or partly designed) by the british.

My grandad loved this on his national service

Where the hell do you get a Bren gun?

[verfugbarkite]

@Fookwah I agree, so did the SS, they used the CZ original.

awsome gun

@henrique165 it's a Bren, although both guns were descended from the ZB-26, a Czech design.

@C2builder Interesting. Was always told that the manual method was to do it on the top as that was the only way to fully steady it. Never fired one live personally but would love to one day. This isn't me saying your technique is wrong btw, I do accept that everyone adapts firing positions. I've just never seen the bren supported that way before. I've heard different opinions on the Bren Recoil, though I've put it down to properly braced will be light recoil ultimately.
