Bren?
[edit]What's this about the Bren providing the inspiration to attempt to replace the outdated 6.5-mm cartridge? The Japanese had been copying and using Lewis guns in .303 for years and needed no inspiration from the Bren which, in any case, was not used by the Chinese, thought its Czech ancestors were in 7.92-mm.--172.191.152.243 (talk) 21:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
- No idea and it's unsourced, will remove just that tiny bit though & see if someone comes up with more data for Chinese .303 usage to add. Tengu99 (talk) 05:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- The Bren was used by some Chinese forces during WW II, but in 7.92mmx57 rather than .303 British. Chinese Brens were manufactured by Inglis in Canada, and the 7.92mmx57 bolt design was later used for the L4-series of Bren conversions to 7.62mm NATO by the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.241.79.130 (talk) 18:52, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
