A type of light machine gun used especially by British and Commonwealth forces, known for its reliability and accuracy.
An acronym from 'Brno' (a Czech city where it was originally designed) and 'Enfield' (the British weapons factory). It combined the best features of a Czech design with British manufacturing.
The Bren gun was so well-designed and reliable that even after WWII ended, it remained in service with armies around the world for decades—some countries still used it into the 1990s!
