Bren compared to its contemporaries

Yes, & it has such a VERY high rate of fire. You HAVE to carry twice as much AMMO! Bugger that lugging it round in the field. I would go for a MKIII IF, available, but failing that, a MKI Bren for the time period.

In the 1960's the Italian army found it very difficult to carry a realistic ammo supply for its MG42/MG3's for foot mounted operations in rugged terrain.
