  • A side-by-side ‘mag dump’ of the Bren LMG versus an M53 to represent the MG42. You can watch it from all angles thanks to the 360 camera placed between the guns. Try it with headphones and a VR headset and let us know what you think!
    Surely the first time this has happened?
    To make it a direct comparison, we put 28 rounds in the belt of the M53 to match the magazine capacity of the Bren. Read more about these historic icons and how they compared in wartime use by checking out Rich’s published academic study in the RUSI Journal which is available open access online: www.tandfonlin...
    The Bren is a 1945 made Mk 2 from Inglis in Canada.
    The ‘MG42’ is a post-war M53 made in Yugoslavia and is one of our crowdfunding projects so please head over and support it: vickersmg.blog...

    My great grandfather was a Sergeant Major in the Machine Gun Corps. He trained WWI machine gunners at Grantham. He was a Vickers machine gunner but got shot four times by a MG42 at Passchendaele. He survived the war.

      The MG42 was a Second World War gun so you possibly mean the MG08 which was its First World War counterpart. Have you used our MGC database to look up your great grandfather to see if he features in it? vickersmg.blog/about/research/mgcdatabase/

      Thanks. Interesting experiment this one! We're not one for 'mag dumps' but this gives a direct comparison that can only be shown side-by-side.

      Errr… Well the Vickers is a 25-round burst so we were nearly firing what we’re used to!

    have you ever checked about this one?
    this MG3 is at a very low rate-of-fire configuration
    almost as slow as an M60

      Much more controllable like that.
