Why were the British still using the Bren gun well into the 90's despite the fact reliable belt feds were pretty much a solved issue by then and other nations were already making LMG's by just beefing up normal rifles and give them big magazines?An over 20Ibs gun with a measly 30 round magazine seemed pretty obsolete by that time.
