I learned a BREN gun on single shot is a better choice than a bolt action sniper rifle for taking out important targets.
|

Did they really deploy with FAL's, Enfield #4's, Bren guns and Carl Gustav smg's in this be incident? Or was that the Hollywood effect?

View Quote I had thought that they used No. 1s, since that was the standard before the FAL, but apparently they got some basically new No. 4s in the 1950s and deployed with those (Lee-Enfields in general were indeed used). The FAL was the replacement for the Lee-Enfield and were used and looked very similar in configuration to the ones in the movie. They also did use the Swedish K. I may be remembering wrong, but they were provided by the Swedes to some of the other UN troops that were part of ONUC. Brens and Vickers machine guns are also accurate. The opposing force's firearms are mostly, but not entirely, correct. They also did not have Carl Gustav recoilless guns; it was actually the Irish that had them and used them very effectively. |

Maybe this was answered but, why did the sniper put aside his scoped Enfield to single load an iron sighted Bren to hit the Belgian? I have a hard time believing the Bren was more accurate at distance.

Evil capitalists, corporations, neocolonialists, whites, etc. UN good and noble, but incompetent (except for the Irishmen). It was ridiculous and completely ahistorical. What's funny is how closely the narrative of the movie matches O'Brien's editorial and the strongly Leftist propaganda contained therein that I posted earlier. The movie went even further and portrayed Tshombe as some general who led a coup. Notice how they always call him "general". Tshombe was never in the military. |

Tshombe knew that it was better to have foreign-owned companies provide employment in Katanga then it was to have no industry at all. |

Quoted:
Lol, What do you do if you have two different items from the same manufacturer? View Quote Seems to depend on what came first. The GMPG, for example, was called "The MAG" but it came into service after the FAL which had already been called the "FN" That said, the Scorpion CVR(T) was never called "Alvis" so it's not a hard rule. But the XA-180 was "SISU", the L-180 the "Landsverk", the 40mm ADA gun just "The Bofors" and so on and so forth. I've been having a bit of a think more about the Bren thing and it may not be quite as fanciful as it at first seems, other than the missing frontsight. Believe it or not, the first MG I was ever trained on was the .303 Bren, it still being in reserve service in the late 1990s, and I've never heard anyone complain about its accuracy. The rate of fire was so slow that we did not usually fire in bursts. When it came to the annual shooting competitions, many a team would come a cropper because of the way the rules discouraged firing more than two rounds at a time (They'd put 15 rounds in a magazine, people would forget to fire a three-round burst and you'd have an illegal single shot fired). I believe the British had a similar problem with the L86 LSW, which was so accurate with its bipod and long barrel that instead of being used as a sustained fire area effect weapon, the troops started using them as precision rifles. I can see an argument that a heavy bipod mounted iron sight weapon can an appealing option at a certain range over a free-held rifle, even if that rifle has an optic. I don't recall anyone on the Irish boards objecting to the scene, and they probably got the idea from somewhere. I'll try digging a bit more. |

The use of No.4s instead of No.1s would seem to be the bigger technical goof as far as the Irish weapons go. I'm not an Enfield specialist (I own a No 4 though), and I can check on the Irish military sites, but I'm not convinced by that. Isn't the protruding barrel an indicator of a No 4? http://66.media.tumblr.com/a40420d5773ca9e70211889fff99a603/tumblr_mvpr7ylV491rcoy9ro1_1280.jpg Osprey's "Modern African Wars: Congo 1960-2002" (Peter Abbot) specifies the British MkIII helmet, the 37 pattern webbing, and the No 4 rifle. Don't get me wrong, I believe the No1 MkIII was the standard rifle for reserves until the FAL showed up in the 80s, but it does seem possible that the Congo troops got the latest batch of the things? In fact something is telling me that one in the center of the pic is a Mk II. Those Those wool uniforms would suck in Africa. Those are indeed No. 4s and look brand new. Ireland must have bought some from Britain after the war. Kind of surprising. No. 1 was definitely the standard, inherited from the British.

Any suggested reading material on this or any of the stuff that happened in Africa over the last century? My knowledge on this is incredibly limited.
A quick look at Amazon brings up dozens, if not hundreds of books. I'm not sure if there might not be some standouts I should focus on. May need to hit up the local library and see if the have anything at all. |
