My punt is the Vickers Berthier which was used by the Indian Army

One shiny penny is on its way to you, dont spend your winnings all at once.


Sorry no shiny penny for you. Its a Vickers Berthier used by the Indian Army and catches out many people because of its similarity to the BREN. It was a contender for the British Army LMG and was in pole position till the Czechs produced a .303 version of their ZB vz26 which pipped the Vickers in trials and became the vz33 known as the BREN.

Graeme, is it possible they were trying to determine the composition of the fuel tank itself?

The Japanese did try a few different self-sealing designs.
