Thoughts on the Bren Gun? Is it a meme for loading from the top or is that a good idea?
I heard it's better than the spandau.

In its intended role, it worked. The reason it loads from the top is because having a fuckhuge box magazine is inconvenient when prone. Belts are more difficult to transport than magazines.

I know that you're trying to start bearded british youtube man shitposting but theoretically loading from top gives you more convenience when lying prone(when compared to feeding from bottom) while still being box magazine.
Although I don't think it worked in case of Bren, I know that Australian SMG - Owen, which is also loaded from top could cycle for few rounds after the magazine spring broke and then you've had to "help" it manually when you've had less rounds in the mag so there's also the reliability advantage(even if the spring breaks you still can fire, somewhat) although I don't think it worked just as well with Bren's curved magazine and rimmed cartridges.

Well it is still in use unlike the Spandau so that shows you how good it is. Not to mention it being far more accurate than most lmgs and FANTASTIC for going prone do to the gravity assisted top fed 30 bullet clip.
The Bren is actually easier to reload than the BAR. At least for walking fire.
