Great insights into Bren ejection there Peter...

The last time my local (ex RAF airfield) gun butts were dug out, the amount of WW2 .303 cases that came out was considerable. (We assume they buried the spent brass in front of the butts) the Bren struck cases where obvious, compared to the Enfield.

Re the Czechicon fireams design, they really do have a flair for it, even under the Sovieticon jackboot, they shunned the ambiguous AK47 and designed the fascinating and compact striker fired Vz58.

The thing I really find intriguing, is the Soviets didn't insist it was designed to use AK magazines.
