Vickers-Berthier LMG (2013x9)

:

The Vickers-Berthier was a light machine gun that competed with the Bren unsuccessfully for British military use but was adopted by the Indian Army. We had the opportunity to handle a pair of them (an early MkI and a later Mk3) at Cornet & Co in Belgium. I will write a more detailed post (or posts) at ForgottenWeapons.com on the Vickers-Berthier coming up, but this video is a decent introduction to the gun.
