Weapon 🔪 Light Machinegun ⚡ Foreign Design 📦

The Bren Gun is a British automatic rifle which was mainly used during and after World War II. It is chambered in .303 British and typically fed from curved 30-round magazines. This firearm made up much of the volume of fire available to British infantry at the time. Though less of a bullet hose as its contemporaries, the Bren was renowned for its exceptional accuracy and stalwart reliability. Many similar designs emerged at the time, all inspired by the ZB vz. 26 automatic rifle.

Common Attributes - Mechanical

Auto

This weapon is fully automatic, either inherently so or by the presence of a selective-fire mechanism.

EFFECT:
This weapon can fire more than one shot each time it is used. Each subsequent shot has a progressive penalty.
Automatic weapons are considered STABLE when they're mounted on a vehicle, tripod or turret. This is different from the Stabilised SA.

  • Point Blank Range - No penalty.
  • Close Range (≤10m / 2sq) -> -1
  • Short Range (≤50m / 5sq) -> -2 (STABLE: -1)
  • Average Range (≤200m / 10sq) -> -3 (STABLE: -1)
  • Medium Range (≤500m / 20sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -1)
  • Long Range (≤1000m / 50sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -3)

         ~ Beyond this point, automatic fire is unfeasible without a STABLE firing platform. ~

  • Very Long Range (≤2000m) -> (STABLE: -3)
  • Extreme Range (>2000m) -> (STABLE: -5)
