Vickers K Gun
From ARRSEpedia
Replaced the Lewis Guns on aircraft, a development of the Vickers-Berthier (see below) but described as a back handled Bren Gun with a drum feed by some morons, it had a higher rate of fire and was used by the first SAS/LRDG and Commando Brigades during world war 2.
The 100 round drum magazine could also be used in the Bren gun. (can someone who "knows" check that the respective pan magazines were indeed the same, or at least interchangeable?)

[edit] Vickers-Berthier
The predecessor of above, this weapon is in NO WAY related to the Bren: a frequently found misconception since it does resemble one.
