Best I can tell this is from the Plei Do Lim special forces camp.  Fresh venison anyone?

That is beyond a boolit, that is a projectile!!!

And you thought you had a bug problem.

[Jeb48]

That's one big bug. I did try my hand at carpenter bee skeet last summer with my Governor and #8 .410 birdshot load but I would have to up my game if they were that big.

That’s not a rifle, it’s a light machine gun.

Perhaps a Bren MK II or similar.

I bet she thought it was heavy.... 

Seriously is it a Bren?

Thanks Red, interesting history. I guess with the mag sticking out the top you just pointed and sprayed.

Is that not the famous "Hitler's buzzsaw" MG42? 1200 RPM as to our 450 to 600 for the M1919 or the Bren.

Nope, the sights are offset to the left hand side.

Interesting tidbit (when I was in the army cadets, we shot the old Bren fairly regularly.....) but the Bren shoots in a very consistent, vertical oval pattern. If you aim dead centre mass on a human sized target at 200yds, you'll completely outline it with 30 rounds! Also they have a cool tendency to pull forward under recoil.

Also, if you don't lock the barrel correctly after replacement/cleaning the first round will send it cartwheeling about 80 yards downrange

And the range officer knows who done what.

And the range officer knows who done what.

And he'll halt fire across all ranges, then make you go get it whilst EVERYONE watches.

That's what it looks like to me.

I'm honestly amazed that the Mg42 isn't still in use. To this day, it's still one of the finest LSWs ever made. 

Can you imagine a scaled down version in 5.56??? Damn but that'd be a hell of a thing.
