And the Bren used the same ammunition as the Lee-Enfield .303 bolt
action
rifle. The Bren banana clip could fit in an Enfield (though it would be
a pain
to use, I'd imagine), and the Enfield's 5 round clip could fit in a Bren
(this
is all from memory; correct me if I'm wrong). This greatly eased British
small
arms ammunition logistics.
