The Bren is a light machinegun. The MG42 is multi-purpose. Ian Hogg is by no means the only person to hold this opinion. It's hardly a matter of national pride, considering the gun is Czechoslovakian.

What's with all the generic terms for machine guns? The US Army has SAWs, and the British Army has LSWs and GPMGs. To my knowledge these are the FN Minimi, FN MAG and Enfield L86 (ie. FN, or Fabrique Nationale, a Belgian company, makes both the US squad automatic and the British heavy machinegun). It's interesting to note that the L86 is crippled in the same way as the BAR, in being magazine fed and lacking a quick-change barrel. It's just a long-barreled version of the British Army's assault rifle. David New map! ------------------ 'Wake up darling.' 'What is it dear.' 'Those awful Germans want fighting dear.' 'Not again.

Shadow 1st Hussars wrote: > 500 would be faster than a 400....... 100MHz faster It should be noted that this is only true in these specific circumstances. It so happens that a G4 is basically a G3 with AltiVec instructions, so when running programs that do not utilise AltiVec, clock speeds are comparable. In most cases however, two given processors will run at different speeds regardless of the Hz value. Hz dictates the number of instructions a processor can give per second, but each instruction is carried out at different speeds on different processors. This is difficult to explain to the man on the street, of course, and most people judge computers by their clock speed alone.

Huh? A thread about guessing what Marçel and Emma have been up to in their spare time? The forum's come a long way since all the rubbish about the Second World War and computer games and whatever. You two, keep it to yourselves and stop teasing all these poor computer-bound rejects. They're not supposed to get this excited on a military gaming forum.

[afterthought: hang on, CM2 doesn't exist yet] > I am thinking of Accelerating my G3 233 beige machine and wanted to know if there is any additional advantage of the G4 other than increased MHZ. The only advantage of a G4 is AltiVec. This may be an advantage if you plan to run OS X – but on the other hand, the inherently slower architecture of your beige G3 may negate any advantage. I have a beige G3/233 too, and I got a 450MHz G3 upgrade from OWC (www.macsales.com). They sell original Apple processor ZIF cards, so they're cheap – look for Mercury ZA. Newer G3s and G4s have a faster system bus, faster RAM, faster PCI etcetera, so you won't be able to take full advantage of upgrades on a beige G3 – a 400MHz G4 ZIF won't make your machine run as fast as a new 400MHz G4, for example – but it's still worth it to an extent.
