The VZ-26 was a Czechoslovakian light machine-gun made by the Zbrojovka Brno factory from 1928 to 1945. It was an immediate success and was adopted by 25 countries, including Britain as the Bren (in a modified version, the ZGB33 chambered for the British .303 round), and Germany as the MG 26(t). The VZ-26 took a 7.92 mm Mauser calibre round from a 30-round box magazine and had a cyclic rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute automatic, or single shot with a muzzle velocity of 762 meters per second and an effective range of 700 meters. The VZ-26 had a 602 mm long barrel and was fitted with a blade foresight and a tangent aperture rearsight. The VZ-26 was modified to make the VZ-27 model and later the VZ-30 model, both which had the same specifications as the original VZ-26. Research VZ-26
