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.

European armies after WW2 are larp parade forces maintained strictly for propaganda purposes, what they carry is irrelevant.

So is this gonna be just another thinly-veiled thread to keep the spam going.

Two main reasons:
1. The BREN still worked
2. Britain never economically/industrially recovered from the devastation of WWII, they've been on a slow downward trajectory ever since then.

Because they had fuck tons of them leftover from WW2
Because it was still quite nice to carry and shoot
Because it was insanely reliable and accurate
Because there were no "beefed up normal rifles" that were as controllable as it
Because fuck you that's why!
