Zeroing the Bren

[5 Commando]

Am I correct that when zeroing the Bren at all ranges, the mean POI should be one inch to the right of POA? Ta, Mike.

Yes......., sort of! At 100 yards, sight set to 200 yards, Several warming shots into the bank.
5 single aimed shots supported. 4 out of 5 shots are to fall within a rectangle of 6" x 6", the MPI will be 1" right and 1.5" high.
Permissable variation allowed. Horizontal. NIL. Vertical +/- 1"

Would a 6" by 6" rectangle not be a square! Or did you just drop that in to see if we were taking notice Captain ?

[Peter Laidler]

Well spotted. But the EMER calls it a rectangle - so rectangle it is!

[tankhunter]

Or could it be....An 'Army' Square Rectangle?........

RIGHT!!! 'Get Down, Test, & Adjust'!!!!........

Why would the Ausies have a different measuring system? And in metric for an imperialy ranged gun? I thought at first it was just the metric equivalent to imperial but there no way near similar.

Is it definitely for a Bren or could it be Steyr or similar?
