| Mark 3 Bren Light Machine Gun |
This model of the Bren Light Machine Gun is a Mark 3 from 1947 but had only minor improvements on the .303 inch light machine gun that was used by the British Army since 1937 and particularly throughout the Second World War.
Its versatility, robustness and significant calibre ensured that it was considered to be one of the best light machine guns in the world. It continued in use by the British Army through the Korean War, the Mau Mau Uprising, the Northern Ireland Troubles, the Falklands War and the Gulf War.
