If you're familiar with the film Siege of Jadotville you will remember a scene in which the Irish company’s sniper takes on a long range shot... with a Bren. The sniper exchanges his scoped Rifle No.4(T) for a Bren and single loads a round with the magazine removed. We teamed up with our friend Rich of @vickersmg to see how realistic this exciting and interesting scene is! Be sure to check out our accompanying article for this video which has more data, information and photos from the range here - https://armourersbench.com/2021/10/03/siege-of-jadotville-the-sniper-bren-is-the-bren-more-accurate/ If you enjoy our work please consider supporting us via Patreon, TAB is a viewer supported channel and any help is very much appreciated!
