Just a guess, but operate trigger with right hand, fold left arm across chest and hold stock with left hand?
Edit: should have known CJ would pipe up soon with the right answer.

Did the top loading mags work any better than the bottom loading mags like you see today? What was the reasoning for going with them back in the day?Originally posted by JesterFORGTN SOLD1ER - xbox gamerOriginally posted by DennyComment

They were more reliable as they had gravity to help the mag spring, and they were less likely to get dirt in the mag. Mag fed machineguns had advantages since they were lighter, and did not overheat the barrels as often. However, top fed MG's proved to be a liability in combat as they gave away the MG's position, obstructed the gunners view, and also were prone to being hit by a round and discharging the whole magazine, killing the gunner and crew which happened frequently with the Type 92/99 and other Japanese top fed MG's.Originally posted by motoman View PostLast edited by CJ; 01-10-2012, 12:50 PM."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

the rear grip on the bren does not fold There is a cross pin to hold it in position otherwise it is either as pictured or un-attached it was designed to help hold and maneuver from the prone or pintal positionComment

I imagine their top fed vs. bottom fed to allow firing from the prone position or from a trench where a long bottom fed magazine would hit the ground.Comment
