THR - View Single Post - Are machineguns in general purposely made inaccurate?

The Bren's 7.62, the L4 variant was and remains quite ridiculously accurate for a (not particularly light) LMG.

This is partly due to the higher tolerances when retrofitted from .303 as well as the lower rate of fire/30 round mag that tended to keep the whole unit relatively cool in use.

I saw consistent 800 mtr 6" groups from experienced gunners when shot single shot.
