    He did one on Bren Vs BAR with a group of falling plates at about 10-15 yards like a CQB range except they all pop up at once and he see's how quickly he can clear the targets with each gun.

    He walks toward the plates firing the thing from the hip, the US made BAR "wins" this competition with tedious inevitablity of course because it's not far off being an over sized SLR. In reality the Bren would win as you wouldnt advance firing from the hip you would go firm on one knee and give them a full mag in short bursts going from left to right.

    Strange that Eugene Stoner,rated the AK,above the M16.

    Lets not forget the AK,was around long before the M16,and is still going in the same form,stick an M16 in a pile of shit for a couple of weeks Gunny,see how fucking clever it is then.

    I thought he decided that the Bren WAS better - as of course in was .

    He commented on the mag being bigger than the BAR but that was about it.
