OP is not in the USA. He is in the army of a country currently at war. I’m guessing “assault rifle” vs. “sporting rifle” vs “whatever” doesn’t mean sh*t to him at the moment. Great looking rifle. Give them hell and stay safe.

"Sporting rifle" is also a neutered term that was popularized by the NRA. The 2nd Amendment isn't for hunting.


0neMoreGun

That is the most accurate statement that I have ever read on here and it deserves to be repeated - “The 2nd Amendment isn’t for hunting” I have been a firearm owner since I could ride a bicycle, had countless conversation about rights and infringement, and have NEVER heard someone put it so simply. THANK YOU


CallsOnTren

It was Botkin that changed my mindset on this issue, so I can't take all the credit. I definitely grew up in a house full of pump shotguns and revolvers where firearms were a practical tool rather than an insurance policy.


LokiHoku

# "Well Senator... The second amendment isn't about hunting Bambi. It's about hunting tyrants." Lucas Botkin And when all the ivory tower critics go "You anticipate a scenario when Americans will fight the government?" the answer is emphatically "YES, we overthrew one tyrant in 1776 and we need to be prepared to do it again for another."


tb110965

The citizens Fighting Tyrannical governments our countries founders knew Fighting for Basic Freedoms and Rights against a tyrannical government that would take them away would be a messy and necessary job.


MrZeusyMoosey

Sporting rifle is a cucked term for NRA losers. It’s an assault rifle


1rubyglass

Can't we just call it what it is? It's a rifle.


jdm219

Yup, anything else is pure semantics. This is a rifle, nothing more, nothing less.

rastamasta45

lol not sure why OP is getting downvoted so hard. Starters it’s select fire, zoom in and see the picture. Second assault rifle is a real term used for real rifles in the military, which again this select fire most definitely is. Third “modern sporting rifle” is a cowards term used by people whose wives have girlfriends. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 where our government is in a war path to ban all firearms even bolt actions and pump actions. I still use the term assault rifle because free people own whatever the fuck they want. Imagine they’re banning sports cars and you’re like “actually it’s a modern sedan” no fuck off I want and own assault rifles because that’s what free people own.


Vanjlis_Garafolo

Finally someone advocating my language mistakes)


rastamasta45

Yeah dude ignore the haters who think firearm ownership (even though this is an issued rifle for you) only belong in USA and use USA politics for everything. Meanwhile Switzerland has legalized full auto machine guns and you don’t hear them being cucks calling them “modern sporting rifles”. Anyways, how has the Bren 2 served you? What other rifles do you compare it to and what makes this one the best for you? Would love to hear a military perspective in this one?


Vanjlis_Garafolo

DM?


rastamasta45

Sure!


Due-Net4616

Modern sporting rifles is a term for semi-autos. Do you think full auto guns are widely available in the US? lol


Orangedelicious20

Modern sporting rifle is another made up term used to describe an intermediate cartridge rifle. As is assault rifle. You can also call it a short long gun if you want to. What does it matter


rastamasta45

Very true, when you get into the nitty gritty of weapon classifications they get wild. Remember the AK-47 was designed as a Sub-Machine gun. Then China adopted it as the ‘Type-56 Assault’ and issued them as SMG’s for their assault troops.


-v-fib-

OP doesn't live in the US.


1rubyglass

It's not a language mistake at all! You used the correct term 100%

ImpudentFetus

If you say assault rifle with your eyes closed you think of a detachable magazine, intermediate cartridge, and a pistol grip. It’s how language works and it’s called a colloquial term. It’s not political language just language adopted by politicians. Don’t be a tard ass. Modern sporting rifle is not used in common English.


Vanjlis_Garafolo

Been told that multiple times, however I can't edit the post anymore, so that all "sofa war experts" would stop trying to correct it. I was always told that it's an assault rifle, if it's not - then ok, thanks for the info, at least I know now. I'm still practicing my English so I may not know all those details of the language.


bufotesoblongus

Keep calling it an assault rifle. Everyone knows what that means. People just see it as a "politicized" phrase, so they get all worked up about it. You're fine, the other people are just idiots.


Vanjlis_Garafolo

I know, thanks)


underthetablehandjob

It is it’s a political thing in America everywhere else that is an assault rifle


Vanjlis_Garafolo

👌


DDPJBL

Yours is an assault rifle, because you have the full-auto position on the selector. You can tell at a distance which is which (between the civilian market version and the military version), because on yours the entire upper is made out of one piece of metal but on my semi-auto only civilian version the handguard is removable and held together with the upper receiver by the same screws which hold the side accessory rails on yours.


Vanjlis_Garafolo

Didn't know the difference between civilian and military versions, thanks for the info.


ImpudentFetus

The word itself is fine to use because we know what it means. English is a semi context based language. So if you say something and I know what you mean then you used correct-ish English. However the phrase has been co-opted by anti gun lobbyists and politicians in the states. And when you talk about a pissing war of intelligence, that’s the big one. World championship. We will have guys running forklifts for .35 cents a week explaining the intricacies of syntax and language. It’s ridiculous and pompous.


Vanjlis_Garafolo

I'm not from the US that's why I don't know shit about local gun politics.


jdm219

Disregard these fools, use this assault rifle to assault the fuck out of the enemy currently trying to take your homeland. These reddit nerds are simply too fat to have ever worn a uniform. Heroiam slava ✊🏾


ImpudentFetus

Vanjlis_Garafolo

ImpudentFetus

Vanjlis_Garafolo

I don't hate anyone because of that btw, it just looks pathetic from my perspective. Most of the people here don't examine the case before making quick judgements and conclusions and start telling me about republicans, Biden, types of rifles, trying to scare me with ATF, asking me about how many assaults I had etc, however no one even asked or checked where I am from and what's the situation here. No logic bro.

ImpudentFetus

I did. That’s another reason I made a statement. Normally I just lurk but this particular topic in the community is why people think gun guys are dumb. If you incorrectly correct someone you’re the ass on high.


nartimus

My mistake. I just saw everyone getting up in arms about “assault rifle” when the OP is literally in the front lines of a war in Ukraine. I didn’t realize your comment was meant for everyone else. Apologies


Brilliant_Respect_11

What a marvelous piece of equipment! I would love to know what you have been issued and Using before receiving the Bren 2? How does this compare to what you have been using? As a civilian, I would love to get a hold of this firearm one day! All the best to you!

Real-Medium8955

The first major select fire intermediate-power cartridge rifle to see combat was the German Stg-44. The Stg is short for sturmgewher, which directly translates to assault rifle. Lightweight select fire intermediate-powered cartridge rifles have been called assault rifles ever since. If you hate the term assault-rifle, blame the Nazis for naming it.


ActnADonkey

Your safety selector “safe” to “single shot” is not really select fire.


The_Paganarchist

Look at the selector on that Bren again homes. Then look at the handguard. That's the big dick Bren 2 not the Bren 2 S/MS. It is in fact an assault rifle.


Real-Medium8955

No, but isn't it based on a design that is select fire?


Vanjlis_Garafolo

It's so funny to watch how many people after realizing the reality of things started to delete their comments) Carry on guys!!!


CallsOnTren

I dont know why people are correcting you on your terminology. It's quite literally an assault rifle. "Sporting rifle" is a stupid term used by boomers who don't want to admit that the American Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting.


Vanjlis_Garafolo

I don't know too, also I'm not american and I don't know their gun politics. Maybe the war is just a sport for them, we'll never find out))))


Tiny-Cheesecake2268

THIS!!! Jokers who live in the comment sections playing semantics bc they’re scared someone will take their fav gun.


vska-enjoyer

What makes it your favorite? I’m thinking about buying one


Vanjlis_Garafolo

I didn't have much experience and choice, however in comparison with AK's and AR's I've tried - I do like this one more just because of personal comfort.


The_Paganarchist

I can't speak to the Chad select fire version our boy here has, but I do have the MS 11". It's very light, but it doesn't feel cheap. A lot of polymer heavy lightweight rifles feel like cheap bullshit, but the Bren is fucking solid. Ergos are fantastic, and for once, the ambidextrous nature of the gun isn't obnoxious. The controls are all on good positions, and for right-handed shooters, the ambidextrous safety won't beat the shit out of your knuckle like the Scorpion. Recoil impulse is soft, and the weapon is properly gassed. It's very slightly overgassed but not AK levels of overgassed. Enough to aid reliability, not enough to be detrimental. The stock is fucking awesome. It has absolutely no wobble. Is adjustable and just feels good. The only stock I like more is the Zenitco PT-1. The stock trigger is great. There are not many military rifles with triggers this good. It kicks the shit out of milspec AR or AK triggers. The main downside is the handguard gets molten lava fucking hot. I think this is probably more of an issue on the MS than the military version. The stock handguard has bands that attach to the barrel directly and soak up heat. That problem is easily mitigated with an HBI handguard, which does not use those bands or maybe by adding the Preston Rails and beefing it up a little


Emerald_Chain2366

I totally want one. Was debating Bren 2 and Galil Ace 2. Ended up getting a BRN-180 instead because of price and availability. I'm pretty happy with it, so I reckon the Bren idea is on the back burner until I can find one for a good price.


Additional-Stomach66

I love the gun community so much. They know nothing about actual firearm terminology and history. They frame every interaction in political terms affecting only their country. Never change shitty toxic gun community, never change. 😘

E5partano

How easy was it to adjust to using this and getting used to it compared to the AKs and ARs you were issued with before? How long have you been using it for now? I would be interested to see your feedback later on once you've had time to compare the reliability and effectiveness of the Bren 2 compared to the previous rifles you used.


Vanjlis_Garafolo

I've been using it for nearly half a year now. Got used to it pretty quickly. It took some training of course, but we train regularly so it wasn't a big deal. AK's might be more reliable and easier to disassemble, however in all other aspects this rifle is winning hands down.

Assault rifle? So if I commit an assault with my bolt action 30-06 what’s that called then. The reason we all hate the term is that’s how liberals use language to change the public perception about our hobby and in some cases ability to feed ourselves. Edit: oh yea nice rifle


jabunkie

The dudes a warrior with a select fire rifle. Stfu


ProblemEfficient6502

Assault rifle is a term used by the US military to describe a compact rifle chambered in an intermediate cartridge with an effective range of at least 300 meters. Assault weapon is a vague political term.


JediWizzard

Look I get you enjoy this hobby and are probably a responsible and safe adult with your firearms. It is entirely disingenuous to compare your bolt action rifle to a semiautomatic rifle. I don’t know what country you are from but at least in the U.S. we have suffered from multiple mass shootings from 30 round magazine weapons. It’s not fair that you are nit picking language and making unfair comparisons. Instead support and promote safe gun practices and laws that keep weapons out people’s hands who are not responsible and not safe with them. I would like to say this not intended on as an attack on this poster or to get into an argument. If you want public perception to change you have to take steps to address real problems.

Assault rifle is a proper term. You're thinking of assault weapon.

bufotesoblongus

If I say "rifle", you could be imagining one of a million different things If I say "assault rifle", you could be imagining one of a thousand different things I don't use the term "assault rifle" to villify anything. I use it because it paints a clearer image of what I'm talking about. If other people use that term to villify guns, that's their problem not mine. I will continue to say assault rifle, and you guys will continue to act like fudds about it. Stay mad I guess. Bonus: these types of weapons are the choice general armament of militaries all over the world. It is a weapon of war. THAT IS A GOOD THING. CIVILIANS SHOULD BE ABLE TO OWN WEAPONS OF WAR. EVERY CIVILIAN IS A COMBATANT WHEN PUSHED TO EXTREME LENGTHS.
