Today John Keene and I are comparing two light machine guns: the Czech ZB-26 and the British Bren. Of course, the Bren is a development of the ZB, so there are a great many similarities between the two. The question is which one would we prefer to have? The ZB in this example is an absolutely gorgeous Czech-made gun that was taken into German service in World War Two and waffenamt marked. The Bren is an early MkI with a MkIII barrel fitted. What do you think? Collectibility or practical shooting qualities?

At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
