Bren Versus BAR
I own both and have fired both extensively. The Bren has a buffering device built into the receiver and the felt recoil is much less than the bar. The bipod on the BAR is a pain to use. Perhaps that's why you see so many photos of them with the bipod removed. The extra weight not worth it for its usability. I haven't fired my BAR in 5 years while I shoot my BREN all the time. No contest in my opinion. If I had to carry one I'd take the BREN even though its heavier than the BAR.
