    BRNO not Bruno !

    The original BREN .... Brno design adopted by Enfield = Brno-Enfield = Br-En = BREN

    Today ... since hardly anyone west of Karlovy Vary (OK, Karlsbad) can pronounce Czechicon properly, they use the historic and, dare I say, renowned name of Bren, even though Enfield no longer plays a part - alas!

    At least it still has a curved magazine (even if the wrong caliber) to suggest that it's actually a gun and not an overgrown laser pointer!

    A very detailed write-up can be found here:
