Siege of Jadotville & The Sniper Bren - Is The Bren More Accurate than a Sniper Rifle?

If you’re familiar with the film Siege of Jadotville you will remember a scene in which the Irish company’s sniper takes on a long range shot… with a Bren. 

The sniper exchanges his scoped Rifle No.4(T) for a Bren and single loads a round with the magazine removed. We teamed up with our friend Rich of Vickers MG Collection & Research Association to see how realistic this exciting and interesting scene is!

This scene raises a number of questions:

• Why does the sniper do this?
• Is the Bren more accurate than a Rifle No.4(T)?
• Can you easily single-load a Bren?

We try to address these inn the video and in the article linked below!

Hope you find it interesting!
