The Bren Light Machine Gun - Rapid Overview
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Serving alongside the Vickers in the British Army from the late-1930s was the Bren Light Machine Gun. It replaced the Lewis and become iconic, serving through to the early 2000s.
With @britishmuzzleloaders releasing his recent series on the Bren, we thought we’d start to add a little more Bren content.
This is a short, one minute, video on the main characteristics of the Bren and will shortly go online here on it's own dedicated page on the website, including lots of pieces of archive information we have found over the years.

Hello Richard, thanks for the link. The thing with polishing and the various greases should explain a lot.
Do you still make videos about the Bren and Vickers combination tools? It would be very interesting to see, how they were used. Greetings from Germany.
Those videos are on our list to do, we just haven’t had the time.
Who doesn't like the Bren?
It is a good gun to shoot! But we do have your favorite of course, and it’s not the Bren!
The Wehrmacht? 😂
@@MontytheHorse Or our Asian Brothers? LOL
nice
Thank you
Outstanding recreations and excellent writing. Very nice overview. Might I suggest a tasteful golf shirt with the VMGCRA logo on it for the presenter? Well done video.
Have you seen our latest community post? New polo shirts in the pipeline!
How many shots can you fire before the gas cylinder jams?
We’ve put through 1,000 in a day without cleaning. We didn’t even need to change the port it was running on either. It’ll depend on the ammunition mostly (we use PPU).
@@vickersmg Dugelby writes in “The Bren Gun Saga” that many Bren were thrown away at the Battle of Dunkirk because the gas cylinder jammed. Do you agree with that?
@Pilot12370 it doesn’t include any references of where that information came from but there is some evidence that early production guns needed polishing of the piston to ensure proper function.
