===Machineguns=== * '''Lewis Gun''': a holdover from WWI that was brought back into service to make up for shortfalls in the supply of Bren guns. Despite being bulkier, it was still a very reliable machinegun, and remained in service until the war ended. That said, the large pan magazine is not the best kind of magazine for machineguns, especially since the bottom is open and can be exposed to dirt quite easily. * '''Vickers''': Britain's version of the Maxim gun, mainly used as a static emplacement. Ultimately, the Brits gradually stopped using the Vickers and started leaning more on using Mortars as their main infantry support weapon, especially since they already had Brens that could be relied on more as a frontline weapon. * '''Bren''': The Bren far outmatched anything made by the Americans, Japanese, or Italians. It was well-balanced with a decent number of shots and mechanically reliable. In spite of this, it was outshined by the Commie and Nazi LMGs, the former because the DP-27 was objectively better at providing suppressing fire, and the latter because 1000 goddamn RPM. Nonetheless, the Bren performed very well as a squad-level gun. * '''Charlton''': Created by the ANZACs when supplies of Bren and Lewis guns were low; this was a full-auto conversion of the Lee-Enfield by adding a gas rod to the side of the gun and replacing the bolt.
