Where can I fire a Bren gun?

Dave_303 is correct.

By all accounts some of the gun clubs located on the Channel Islands are very accommodating to FAC holders from the mainland UK.

I know of people that have visited for the weekend just to shoot pistols and self-loading rifles.

As long as you're deemed safe then you can rock-and-roll!

A little while back there was a series on History channel called 'Mud men' and Johnny Vaughan fired a Vickers at Bisley.Point im making is he's a civillian and was shooting a full auto in the UK so there must be loopholes somewhere.

Bisley does have S5 days and there are a few DVD's showing them however they are very strictly controlled and I am not sure they are open to the general public in any way shape of form, maybe Heather of John could tell us more about this?

I think this was filmed during this years Service Rifle Meeting (we saw the film crew and a mate identified Johnny Vaughn), if it was then the Section 5 stuff was supplied by Fultons.

Yep, it was Collin from Fulltons who was the armourer for them. Apparently Johnny Vaughn wasn't acting that childishly until the cameras rolled.

Vaughan should not have been anywhere near a firearm, never mind a S5 machine gun! He's a convicted drug dealer having been sentenced to four years imprisonment for possession on Class A drugs (cocaine) with intent to supply, in the late 80's. Not a paultry amount either......

Here's a 'You Tube' of Jeremy Clarkson firing a GPMG, he also fires a Carl Gustav, but it appears to be Photoshopped.

I also suspect he may have been firing Blanks in the GPMG, anybody know if it had a blank firing attachment?

Clicky....Go to around 2.00'

[Sandgroper]

Slowed down, the GPMG looks like it has a normal barrel, but the ammunition looks like blanks. I suspect it's a "hollywood" GPMG. Plus the "bullet" holes in the car are a tad larger than 7.62mm! :roll:

I don't know about the UK GPMG's but the Australian ones didn't have BFA's, we had BFB's (blank firing barrel) for ours.

The less said about the Charlie G the better.
